Christmas Island Is one of the most
interesting In the world. 1t Is 200
miles from Java, and consists largely
If coral, which rests on a volcanic foun-
iation. The coral forms almost mac
cessible cliffs, covered with luxuriant
vegetation. In the day it swarms
with huge crabs and at night with rats.
Man could not live on this island, as
1t does not possess fresh water, the
rain sinking into the rock.

of the bottle and filling the hole with
wax when the poisonous liquid has
been introduced. ,

''and the train had hardly started when
all of a sudden I felt a most peculiar

where the queer sensation seemed to

I Miss Magic Is unable to explain how
the mouse broke into her bodice. The
most probable solution Of the mystery
is that the mouse is the ilihabitant of
the closet where Miss Maggie hangs her

place, he INDUCED in a siesta in one
OF them and did not wake up until

The human body is machine which, to
be kept in good working order, should be
nourished according to scientific rules
and not the desires OF our fancies. Four
classes OF substances are necessary for
the maintenance of life-the albuminoids,
the carbohy drates, the fats, the minerals.
Now, meat contains but three OF these,
while the vegetables contain all four.
Vegetable food is also necessary for our
intellectual life, for as Moleschott has
said, without phosphorus there is no
thought. That phosphorus containedi in
vegetable foods almost double thequan-
tity contained in animal food. But these
are not all the advantages OF vegetarian
ism. Those who believe that meat give
the rose color to the cheeks and lips must
be shown their error, for, as Professor
Mussa has shown, the amount of iron OK
ide contained in the vegetables is much
greater than that found in meat.
However, vegetarianism is not too pre-
sumptuous with regard to it's wonderful
powers. Its doctrines demand at the
same time the constant and intelligent
practice OF all sorts OF hygienic rules. 1t
calls to it's aid pure air. light, heat or
cold, water, exercise and, commencing
with alcohol, the condemnation OF ali
stimulants. In these conditions it is
difficult to say which would prove more
beneficial, the remuneration OF meat or
the application of we'll understood by
giene. 1t is, however, indisputable that
vegetarianism. at it's best, comprises
in it's accessories many things which
make it worthy of general symapthy.-

of making pork-it is already being
practiced in some regions of the lower
South with the most eminent success.
1t gives us the hog as almost clear gain,
so to speak. After considering the mat
ter from every reasonable standpoint,
who can consistently maintain that the
hog must not eventually come South,
and at no distant day either?
There are some months yet to be pro-
vided for-the winter mOnths-fOr stock
hogs must be kept over. We have our
sweet potatoes two bushels of which will
go as far as hog feed (fully agreed upon)
as one bushel of corn, and if we do not
raise so much as two hundred bushels of
sweet potatoes to the acre it is all our
own fault. We also have good winter
pasturage we'll suited to hogs, in our
Bermuda and carpet grasses. True the
frost nips the grasses down but they are
up in few days amply sufficient to af-
ford fine picking for hogs.
In times past it was thought that our
climate was against packing pork in the
South but our new refrigerator process
has knocked that out-by it we now run
our packeries as successfully through the
hottest months of the season as they could
be run at Chicago through December or
January.
Of course there are many other advan-
ages that might have been mentioned in
this connection to show that the hog
must come South, as the waste of our
farms to be utilized as hog feed, no win
ter to drag our stock through, the hogs

on, but we have said enough for the pres
