after Columbus discovered the New

globe was made. April IS. 1869, the
already celebrated English navigator,

years later he was killed by the natives
of Hawaii, while attempting to regain
his boat after slight misunderstand-
ing with the dusky islanders. Contrast
his laborious and dangerous journeys

was little personal luminosity between
the blue and the gray. Each as the
war went on was proud of the bravery
and fighting qualities of the other. A
soldier on battlefield, exposed every
moment to DEATH first learns to respect
and then to like brave enemy"
The veteran related an incident of
the Wilderness campaign. There had
been fierce fighting, and swarm of
prisoners had been taken to the rear
under guard, where rations were
served to a regiment which was about
to be ordered into action.
when did you Johnnies have your
last meal?" shouted one of the officers.
Last night" was the answer.
'That is too bad!" cried several
voices. Lets give them our rations.
We have had our breakfast, and can
go without dinner"
1t was done with one accord. The
prisoners got the rations and the gen.
erous regiment marched on to battle,
wishing them better luck another time.
The colonel gave several illustra-
tons of the good-humored banter ex-
changed between the camps, and told
of strong friendships formed on picket
duty, and of rollicking games of cards
played between the soldiers of the OPP
posing armies. He commented upon
the unwillingness of the men to take
any unfair advantage of an enemy,
when the armies were not engaged in
battle, but were only watching and
playing with each other.
He told story of southern officer
who entered union camp in north
ern uniform, and induced the officers
to believe that he had been sent from
headquarters on an inspection tour.
His real character was exposed after
a dinner with the officers, when his
name and rank were accidentally no.
ticed on the hilt of his sword. He was
a spy, and the rules of war had to be
enforced, especially as complete dia-
grams of the camp and it's defenses
were found on his person. But every
officer in the court-martial that con-
demned him tried to make excuses for
him and regarded him with plying
eyes.
1.-THE soldiers were good friends, :"
said the colonel. They were proud of
their country's military prestige and
fighting stock. Take an old soldiers
word for it, there is nothing easier
than to love brave enemy. Youths

PoRClNE ESCAPE PIPE.
Peculiar Functions Performed by the Leg
of Hog. .

Peculiar Functions Performed by the Legs
of a Hog.
The hogs legs perform a function
not known to any other animal, and
that is an escape pipe or pipes for the
discharge of waste water or sweat not
used in the economy of the body.
These escape pipes are situated upon
the inside of the legs above and below
the knee in the forelegs and above
the gapbrel joints in the hind legs,
but in the latter they are very small
and functions light; upon the inside
of the fore leg they are in the healthy
hog always active, so that moisture is
always there from about and below
these orifices or ducts in the healthy
hog. The holes in the leg and breath
ing in the hog are bis principal and
only means Of ejecting an excess of
heat above normal, and when very
warm the hog will open the mouth and
breathe through that channel as well
as the nostrils. ..a....-..
The horse can perspire through ali
the pores Of its body, much as man,
and cattle do the same to limited ex-
tent, but the hog never. His escape
valves are confined to the orifces upon
the inside Of his legs.
People often wonder why it is that
the hog dies so suddenly when he runs
rapidly or takes quick and violent ex-
ercise by fighting, but when you con-
slider the few escape pipes, their small
capacity and remoteness from the cav
ity where the heat is generated, the
wonder is not that he dies quickly when
overheated, but that he lives as long as
he does when heated up.-Swine Breed

PIGS AT PASTURE.
A Practice Which Promotes Health. Thrift
and Growth.

and Growth.
The breeding sows and all young
pigs should be turned to pasture
through the summer months. 1t pro-
notes health and thrift to give them
the free air to breathe in. the clean
earth to live on and burrow in, and the
fresh grasses to pasture on. Don't be
afraid of the roofing. 1t does the pigs
good and never hurts the land.
But, it is sometimes said, if the pigs
are all at pasture we lose the large
pile OF manure that would be made in
the cellar and the fields will suffer to
that extent Not at all. The pigs
make as much manure at pasture as
when confined in pens. The only diff
ference is that in the case of the pas
turing it is scattered over the land
where it is always needed.
If one wants the effect of this meth
cd of manuring on his titled fields a
good practice is to fence OFF lot pro-
portionate TO the number of pigs and
give them the run of it for the season.
The matter of a distribution of the
manure is easily provided for by chang
ing their feeding grounds from time to
time during the summer. The next
season the lot can be plowed and
cropped, the manuring having cost no
labor or carriage while the pigs are
changed to pastures new.
In many cases there are lots on the
farm rough and foul with brakes,
shrubs and bushes, that may be cleared
through such management. But on a
larger scale, more intelligent man
agement and the appropriation of
means easily within reach, there may
much more of this kind of stock be
made profitable on our farms than is
now kept.-Rural World.

TO MOUNT PHOTOGRAPHS.
A New Plan suggested Which Should
Prove Very Popular.

Prove Very Popular.
Those who have skill in painting
flowers, either in oil or water colors,
can find a chance for the exercise OF
their skill in mounting photograph,
according to the plan suggested in the
accompanying illustration. If oil col
ors. are TO be used, let piece of ''ac
ademy board" be selected, upon which
a background is to be painted in bold
strokes, but little blended together
The one from which the illustration is
taken shades from a rich brown in the
lower left hand corner to a light golden
brown in the upper right hand corner.
The morning glories, or other flowers,
if preferred, should be painted from
nature, If possible, using only the col.
ors that will hormonize well together
and with the background. If water
colors are to be used, let a piece of
pulp board be cut of the right size and
a piece of water color paper wet and
stretched over it, the edges pasted at
the back. The mount is then ready for
decoration. After the background is
laid on perfectly fiat photograph. it
self mounted, but preferably un-
mounted, is to be pasted to the academy

A Moment of Doubt.

A good many soldiers, north and
south, must remember moments which
will enable them to sympathize with
the spirit of question recorded in a
southern magazine. On a tiresome
night march Florida soldier, sleepy
and worn out, fell into ditch by the
roadside. There he lay bemoaning
his fate when the next regiment came
up, and hearing his means some of the
men fastened to his rescue. AS they
stood him on his feet. bedra gled and
demoralized, he turned to one of them
and said: Il say, stranger, don't you
think South Carolina was a little
hasty?" Youths Companion.
