DO YOU EAT PORK?
III So You Arc Interested I'm the Increas
of Prices

III SO You Are Interested In the Increase
of Prices.
The great jump in the price of pork
out West has doomed it up locally and
the people who eat pig meat have to pay
the difference. A local meat dealer was
asked by News man to-day what the
effect OF the raise was He said that the
only effect that he could see was that the
people mad to pay more. The amount of
meat sold was not materially affected.
Pork at wholesale was 121S cents n
pound and the best sold at retail at from
IA TO IL cents. The price had raised more
than cent in few days.
Hams are worth about Is cents and
have gone up IA cents in a few days.
Pork is worth S24 a barrel for the best
Somebody tola me that the marketman
whom visited got his hogs in Rhode
Island. j asked him about IL and he said
that there were not enough hogs raised
In Rhode Island to make fat TO fry the
donghnnts and fish balls in.
The scarcity or hogs is the cause of the
raise In the price and the fact tnat it
takes lots OF fat TO keep Westerners
warm this cold weather may have some
thing to do with the scarcity.
More people eat beef than pork in New
England and the scarcity is not so much
ielt as the scarcity Of beef or mutton
would be.

COLD-BLOODED NERVE.
"A Thief Tears Out All the Lead PipIne
In the Smallpox Hospital.

Que OF the worst cases of vandalism
th t has been discovered in this vicinity
for some time was unearthed Saturday
afternoon by Inspector John Rogers of
the Health department. He was max
ing his customary tour of inspection
at he smallpox hospital on the
bluf a. Fields Point, and was very much
astonished TO find that someone had
broken into the pest house and had torn
out all the lead water pipes. smashed the
marble slaos at the sinks and had thrown
the bed clothing about tho house
The lead piping aud all the brass
ornaments In the establishments had
been carried of. The inspector reported
the affair TO the police immediately and
the hospital will be fitted up and repaint-
ed al once. The police are in the dark
as TO the perpetrator OF the deed, but one
of the detectives is OF the opinion that
the theft who stole the 600 pound lead
weight from the sewer trap at Old
Maids Cove recently, possibly commit
tei this deed. The detective thinks a,so
that whoever had nerve" enough To
burglariz, pest house is entitled TO
Whatever no got.

The Legend OF Mount Thorxh.tt.n.

Thorg ghatten, the famous Norwegian
mountain, has a hole extending entirely
through 1t from one side to the other.
According to Norwegian legend this
same Mount Thorghatten was once hat
and belonged to one Thorg, hence the
name Thorg ghatten. 1t seems that in the
mythical ages giant and giantess fell
violently in love with each other. They
were forced to part for time, but vowed
that they would marry in the near future.
Soon after, however, the tickle woman
pledged her troth to another. This an
gered her giant lover to degree unknown
TO modern men of smaller stature.
He was seventy miles from her when
the elfs brought the news, but, selecting
good arrow, he shot it in her direction.
Now it happened that her brother,
Thorg, was standing in direct line OF the
arrows fight. 1t went through his hat
and skull, killing him instantly, and he
fell harmless at the feet of the faithless
giantess. She had the power of turning
all objects into stone, and forthwith
willed that her brothers hat become a
stone monument to the tragedy. The
cruel lover was turned to stone where he
sat astride his horse at Hestmondo, and
the giantess herself petrihed at Lecko.
The two latter objects have disappeared,
but Thorg's hat (Thorghatten) is still
the object of many curious pilgrimages.-

The Sex OF the Moon.

In archaic times the moon was regarded
rs male god. Primitive man." SAYS a
well-known writer, "saw the moon as q
most conspicuous object, whose spots, at
periods, had the semblance of a mans
face, waxing and waning increased their
wonder, whose coming and going among
the still and solemn night added to the
mystery, until, from being viewed as q
man, 1t was seated, especially when ap-
parently angry, in mist or an eclipse,
and so reverenced and worshipped as the
heaven n-man-the monthly god"
We learn from Max Muller that
"moon" is very old word, and in An.
glo-Saxon, where 1t was used as a mas
culine and not feminine, was "mona.~
In all the Teutonic languages the sun
was feminine, and it is only through the
influence OF classical models that In Eng
land moon has been changed into femi-
nine and the sun into masculine. Even
In comparatively recent times the Ger
mans were fond of calling the sun and
moon "Frau Some and "Herr Mond.n
The practice prevailed in ancient Egypt.
"Another reason" says Sir Gardner
Wilkinson, "that the moon in Egyptian
could not be related to Bu-
bastis is that 1t is male and not a female
deity, personified in the god Thoth. This
was the case in some religions Of the
West. The Romans recognized the god
Lunus, and the Germans, like the Arabs,
the moon masculine and not
feminine, as were the Selene and Luna Of
the Greeks and Romans" In Slavonic.
as in Teutonic mythology, the moon

Making wills In China.

From a curious report on Chinese wills,
prepared by the British acting Consul
General at Canton, it appears that thoug h
the Chinese statute book contains no
reference to wills the courts recognize
them, and do not even require them to
be in writing. II, however, they are mere
oral declarations, they must be made in
the presence Of witnesses, whereas writ
ten wills need not have witnesses at all
Asa matter Of fact, the testator generally
writes out his will privately, and then in
trusts it to his wife, or hides it away in
some safe place.
In theory, man in China may dispose
OF his property as he pleases, but this is
based on the assumption that he will not
do anything contrary to the dictates OF
reason and natural affection. Thus, a
man may will away his property from his
sons, but the court may set the will
aside unless sufficient reason is shown.
The most common reason given is unfilial
conduct. Chh ese wills do not, it ap-
pears, know anything of executors. The
legal representative, with the assistance
OF senior relatives and the elders of the
district, carries out the provisions of the
will. In the Interpretation of a will and
in the carrying out Of it's arrangements,
when there Is any doubt or difficulty, il
is the uniform custom to consult with
the elders Of the place. The final appeal,
however, is to the hsein or other local
authority.-Baltimore News.
