AIDED BY A PIG.
The Animal Dug UP the Truf1es and the
Hunters Confiscated Them.


Hunters Confiscated Them.
Speaking of pigs reminds me that
lately went truf1le hunting with one,
says a Paris letter to the Boston Tran
script. It was not near Paris, for there
are no trufles hereabouts; but far to
the south, in the region of the
Dordogne. The pig was about the
ugliest and most depraved looking
beast of it's kind that can be imagined
one with stilted back and shockingly
exaggerated nose, having the curve of
pump handle, but, like many human
beings who are not beautiful, it was
exceedingly intelligent. Its greediness,
of course, made it so, but greediness is
not always corrective to stupidity.
The trufae-hunter-i was the
pigs master, and as far as appearances
went there was really not much differ
ence between them. He had also a
have been designed for no other pur.
pose than that of turning up trufles.
Nevertheless it was the pig that did all
the digging work, the mans part of the
business being to take care that the
cryptogram did not get swallowed on
the spot. To guard against this acct
dent he had filed his pockets with
maize, few grains Of which the animal
accepted in exchange for trufae.
Once or twice the sybaritic instincts OF
the beast were too strong for it's judg'
ment, and it ate the fungus before the
man had time to snatch it; but blows
upon the nose with stick counter
balanced the satisfaction thus derived,
and the pig, being a reasonable animal,
soon came to the conclusion that il was
better to accept the maize and leave the
fri file

One Theory for the Recent Earthquakes
in Japan.
Advices from Yokohama by steam
ship say that Mr.. Iguchi, director Of
Gifu observatory, has been examining
the district where tle shock was most
severe. At this place some years ago
holes appeared in the. ground to which
no bottom could be found, and it was
believed they communicated with inn
mense cavities far below. Mr.. lguchl
now believes the earthquake was caused
by the Fujiyi mountains slipping into
these caverns. In the district of Ono
an immense landslide took place, dam
ming Mano river. A lake is now form
ing, which is already fifty feet deep.
Another large lake is being formed in
the same way by the Ashiba river at
Nagoya. The earthquake was still
going November 9, seven hundred and
thirty shocks being felt in the twenty
preceding hours. This is more than
two per minute. The great want in the
earthquake regions is shelter. There is
sufficient food to prevent actual starva-
lion. but over four hundred thousand
people are homeless, with almost no
clothing. Winter is rapidly approach

A MAsTIFF's JEALOUSY.
He Kills . Pet Fawn Which Wanted to
Roam Away.

Roam Away.
Elias Shaw, Of Racket creek, caught
doe fawn on North mountain early in
the summer, says a Scranton cores
pendent of the New York Sun. He took
her home, made pet of her, and
named her Fannie Mr.. Shaw's mas
tiff, Teaser, took great fancy to the
fawn from the start. He soon became
very much attached to her, and she to
him. By the middle Of the summer
Teaser and Fannie were inseparable
companions. The dog looked after the
fawn with great care, protected her
from other dogs, and appeared to be
jealous when anyone fondled her.
They roamed over the farm together.
and the dog wouldn't allow Fannie to
get out Of his sight. By her actions the
fawn showed that she was pleased with
the dogs attentions, and she frequently
licked him on the head and capered
with him in the yard. Along in the fall
the fawn got in the notion of wander
ing away to the woods. The dog coaxed
her back a number of times, seeming to
Gear that something might happen to
her if she went far from the farm build
ings. After awhile Fannie got so that
she didn't like to be restrained of her
freedom by the dog. She was deter
mined to go to the woods, and when
Teaser found that he couldn't coax her
any more he headed her off and drove
her back to the house every time she
started for the forest. One afternoon
last week Mr.. Shaw missed the fawn
and dog for several hours. He was
about to send the boys in search Of
them when Teaser returned to the
house without Fannie. His face was
covered with blood, and he vhined and
made a great fuss. '"Ieaser, where's
Fannie?" Mr., Shaw asked him. The
dog uttered several mournful bowls
and started on run toward the near
est woodland, looking back as he ran.
Mr.. Shaw followed him for nearly two
miles into the woods, the dog giving
vent all the way to Ilowls of distress.
In little dark ravine the dog led Mr..
Shaw to the dead body of the fawn,
where he sat up and cried as though he
had lost his best friend. MIR. Shaw
raised the fawn's head, and the dog lay
down, licked her nose, and whined pitt
fully. The fawn's throat had been torn,
and she had bled to death. Teaser had
slain Fannie rather than let her desert
him and become wild.

APES AND BABIES.
An English Physicians Interest
ing Discoveries.
Experiments with Newborn InfaDts
Lead to Some Remarkable Con-
clusions-Darwinism in the
Nursery.

DIR. Louis Robinson, whenever during
the last three Or four years he found a
: leisure hour in his busy life, has studied
the ape in the babe. It was in order to
obtain some detailed information on
this subject from the author of "Dar-
winism in the Nursery" that "a repre-
sentative of the Pail Mall Budget had
sailed on DR.. Robinson at Lewisham.
1.-THE article is intensely interesting"
I said to the DOCTOR" writes the visitor,
"but there is not enough of it. We all
want to know more about your expert
ments with the young apes. What are
the actual discoveries your experiments
led TOP"
s''simply this, that every newborn
child, unless it is sickly or otherwise
imperfectly developed, has most won
derful power in the fexor muscles of
the forearm and will support the whole
weight of it's body during the first few
hours after birth for a period varying
from ten seconds to two minutes and a
half. Now, everybody knows that in
monkeys the power of grip is very fully
developed. Quadrumana can do any
thing with their hands and arms. and
in cases of danger this power is a chief
means of self-preservation.
II have now experimental on one
hundred and fifty babies-some OF them
born within an hour or two, some a.
few days old-and in two cases only
have they failed TO hang by their hands,
even the tiniest supporting the weight
of it's body for ten seconds, most OF
them much longer, and in few cases
they have chung to q finger or a stick
for two minutes and half.
.ssObserve the big toe,'' DR.. Robinson
went on. II have noticed over and
over again that in the case of young in
fants tits turned outward, like thumb,
as in the case of monkeys, whose hind
feet are an additional pair of hands
And whenever have held a finger, or a
stick, close to the infants feet while it
was hanging by it's arms, there has
been an attempt at clutching the stick
with the feet. This seems to me another
instance Of the surv wal of the apes in
stincts in the human child.
'Another curious fact that struck me
was that even when child had been
hanging by it's hands for over a minute
this seems a short period, but just
try to hang to a horizontal bar, support
ing the weight of your body by your
hands only, for minute or two-it let
20 more because it wanted to change its
position than because it was tired.
sometimes gave it my finger to clutch
as soon as it dropped on the blanket,
and could feel by the energetic grip
that the little animal was by no means
exhausted.'

TO VISIT THE FAIR.
Cooperative Trips to Chicago from For
eisn Countries.

Cooperative Trips to Chicago from For
eign Countries.
A movement is already on foot in
England, says Electricity, which is to
be hoped will be largely followed in
other countries, and which augurs well
for the attendance at the Columbian ex-
position. The Polytechnic Institution
of London is arranging trips to the
worlds fair in 1898, especially intended
for workingmen and others of limited
means.
The authorities have already entered
into a contract with the Inman Steam
ship Company, and parties will leave
Liverpool weekly during the months of
June, July and early part of August, by
the City of Paris, City of New York,
City of Chicago and City of Berlin, and
the whole tour will be accomplished
within one month. The committee
hopes that the cost of the excursion,
including accommodation for the period,
will not exceed one hundred and thirty
dollars.
Arrangements have been made thus
early to enable those who desire to take
part to put by SO much per week toward
the required amount; also to enable
many who have as a rule, but a fort
nights holiday, to forego their holiday
next year, and get Il special holiday of
one month in 1893 Already over half
the places have been applied for. Mr..
Douglas Hogg (the son of Mr.. Quinton
Hogg, the president Of the Polytechnic)
and Mr.. Mitchell, the secretary of the
Polytechnic, leave England shortly to
complete the transatlantic arrange
ments.

MAKING AN IMPRESSION.
Behavior of the Girl Who Discovers That
She Is Beautiful

Behavior of the Girl Who Discovers That
She Is Beautiful.
The girl is unlucly who finds out
suddenly that she has something nice
the matter with her. knew one, says
a writer in the Philadelphia Press, who
learned that she had lovely hair. She
took to doing it up with the hairpin,
and she used to look like a mop on the
third day of house cleaning: She
took to jerking her head, too, so that
her hair would come down, and then she
did look lovely, especially if it hap
pened at the theater, at luncheon, or in
the cars. She would wiggle her head
so that her words would come out
scalloped, and her nose got all spread
around. A girl with a neat foot is che
worst nuisance I know. She always
has it stuck out in the car. Her shoe
string is always coming undone. She
is forever lifting her dress and making
you nervous. It just about spols =
girl if she finds out that she has fine
eyes and pretty teeth. Good-by to quiet
expression at once. Her eyes roll, droop,
snap shut, open, dance and sparkle all
over the place, till you wonder why
they don't get sprained. Meanwhile
her teeth are working just as hard.
She smiles twice minute, and often
her eyes are getting in some fine touches
that don't go with smile at all. The
effect is awful got so tired looking
at girl the other day that wondered
why The man with her didn't marry her
just for the sake of tying her eyes fast
to her nose and knocking her teeth out.
AS for me, give me a girl who knows
she is homely or one who is SO good
looking that she doesn't care.
