The First Litter Of Pigs.

The best way to manage the young
SOW at pigging is to leave her alone. OF
course you will see that the narrowing
pen is In order, SO far as giving a little
short litter, wall guard, etc., is con
cerned. Do not allow any one to go
near the SOW during the narrowing, as
gifts are very easily put about. but sell
dom do wrong If left to their own de
vices.
AS soon as the pigging is over, give a
little warm food, composed of both milk
and bran, and continue this feed for
three days. Then more substantial diet
may be given, such as barley and wheat
en- meal and bran mixed In equal por-
tions.
In fortnight run out into pad
dock may be given for an hour or two a
day. The youngs tiers are generally best
kept in, as they go through all kinds of
places and get in mischief, besides rum
ming risk Of being hurt. If the SOW
has pretty good litter, begin to give
the youngsters trough to themselves
when they are weeks old. Warm milk
and house refuse suffice for start, and
shortly after a little bran and ricemeal
should be added.
Wean the youngsters at 8 weeks old,
and have them operated on week be-
fore weaned. Philadelphia Press.

Americans would do well to adopt
certain British fashions. But one of
these is certainly not the eating OF rot
ten meat, which now seems to be the 90
among people who sneeze in the United
States when London takes snuff. These
individuals declare they want their lamb
chops and mutton TO have "gamy
flavor, consequently fancy they cannot
eat the meat till it is in some cases two
weeks old This is an atfectation and d
nasty one in the bargain The bottom
fact In the case is that the meat gets its
tender, "gamy" flavor from the disin-
tegration of putrefaction. That is nice,

Very Ancient Jokes.

When Themistocles was trying to get
money out of the Andrians for the
Greece defense fund and told them that
the Athenians would come with two
great gods, persuasion and necessity,
the Andrians replied that the Athenians
were well off with two such seryiceable
gods, but they had two gods who al
ways dwelt in their country-poverty
and impossibility.

Pigeons must have the credit of pos
sessing some intelligence. A curious
and very interesting sight may be seen
each day, Sundays excepted, at one of
the windows of the Office of Henry W.
Williams, in the Rialto building, oppo-
site the postoffice. For the past few
years some 80 or 40 pigeons have been
there regularly fed at II O'Clock. A
busheI of cracked grain is purchased at
time for the purpose. The birds gath
er on the west side of the postoffice and
watch for the window to open. They
know perfectly well when that hour ar
rives. If there should chance to be
any delay in opening the window, they
will often fly over to the other windows
of the same office and tap on the glass
to remind the clerks who may be sitting
there that it is time for their breakfast.
The minute the window opens they land
on and about the sill and push and
crowd and stand on each others backs
and sometimes fight, SO eager are they
to pick up the grain which is spread all
about the outside They soon become
quite tame and readily eat out of the
hand. Boston Transcript.

The easy and comfortable attitudes as
sumed by most men riding in street cars
have frequently been a source of irrita-
ton to women, and one feminine pas
senger had the courage to publicly con-
denim the practice. A Sixteenth street
car was scudding up town with many
masculine passengers and one woman,
who sat in an upper corner and whose
physiognomy stamped her as a school
ma'am.
Another woman entered the car at
Poplar street, and finding no vacant seat
was proceeding to grasp "A strap when
the voice of the schoolma'am piped out,
eff these men would put their legs tos
gether, there would be plenty of rooml"
A dead silence was followed by a stealthy
shifting of neither limbs until sufficient
red cushion was visible to accommodate
the standing passenger Philadelphia

A MOST MYSTERIOUS VISION.
An Uncanny Dream In Which Major An
dre's Fate Was Depicted.

An UnCanny Dream In which MAJOR An
dre's Fate Was Depicted.
The following instance may serve to
strikingly justify Colquhoun's theory
that there is an original spiritual ener-
gy expressed in dreams which has moth
ing to do with the state of the body and
is beyond the power of the soul when it
has been reabsorbed by the material or
ganization on awaking.
Prior to his embarkation for America
at the outbreak of the Revolutionary
war Major Andre went to visit a friend,
Miss Rebecca Steward, who lived in
Derbyshire. During his stay it was ar
ranged that they should ride over to
view the wonders of the famous Peak.
1t was also Miss Steward s desire TO in
troduce the major to some friends in the
neighborhood, including a Mr.. Newton
and the curate of the parish, Mr.. Cum
ningham. She had given both these gen
tlemen notice of her intention, and
while awaiting her arrival Mr.. Gun
ningham took occasion to tell Mr.. New
ton the circumstances of dream he
had had the night before, which affect
ed him so that he could not shake off
the recollection of it.
He said that he was standing in the
midst of a forest that was entirely
strange to him. After gazing listlessly
around him for few moments he per-
ceived horseman approaching at great
speed AS the latter came opposite the
spot where the dreamer stood three men
who seemed to have been lying in am
bush sprang from their place of con-
cealment and Selling the bride of the
horse ordered the rider to dismount.
They then carefully searched his person
aud led him away. The face, figure
and bearing of the horseman made so
deep an impression upon Mr.. Cunning
ham mind that he awoke, but falling
asleep again presently dreamed that he
was one of throng of spectators near
a great city; that he saw the same per-
son he had seen seized in the wood
brought out between files of soldiers,
who marched him to a gallows and
there hanged him. When Major Andre
and Miss Steward arrived, Mr.. Cunning
ham was horror struck to discover in
the person of Miss Stewards friend the
very man whose seizure and execution
he had witnessed in his dream.
Here was an accurate anticipation of
events that actually happened within
10 months from the date of the dream.
The capture of Andre, the search of his
person for documents that convicted
him for acting the part of spy and his
public execution constitute one of the
most dramatic episodes of the contest
with the mother country. How is it
imaginable that so definite vision of
coming events could arise from the in
fluence of any physical condition on the
mind of the sleeper? What possible
state of the body could confer upon the
soul the power to describe future occur
rences with such exact fidelity to de-
tails?-New York Times.

TO DRIVE A HORSE.
The whip q Cause of Fretting to Lively
Animal.

The whip q Cause of FIetting to a Lively
Animal.
The health, length Of life and use
fulness of horses depend largely upon
the manner in which they are treated.
At the start it is important that the
owner or driver should thoroughly I'M
derstand the disposition, condition and
ability of the animal that he drives.
Some men can drive horse 30 or even
40 miles at good rate Of speed and
have the animal in better condition at
the end than another after driving the
same horse FIVE miles. 1t is not by any
means driving fast that Injuries horse
SO much as improper driving. Often
more strength and vitality are taken
out Of a horse IN two miles of fretting
through the Encouragement of the
driver than In going several times this
distance with proper care.
Some men cannot drive without a
whip in their hands, whether it is need
ed or not, and while there is no doubt
but that in some cases the whip is nee
essary yet it is often the cause Of more
fretting on the part of lively horse
than any other one thing.
The driver who thinks that because
his horse is fresh he can stand it to be
driven fast at the start for several miles,
and then given chance to rest by 60
ing slow, or one who drives fast for
awhile and then slows down to walk
in order to rest up ready for another
squirt, will not get the best speed out OF
a horse with the least waste of vitality,
especially in going long distances.
1t is steady gait that counts most
and wears the horse least. Give him a
chance to get warmed up first, and then
let the gait be steady one.
Another item is not TO feed too heav
lily before driving. A light feed Of oats
will be far better than heavier feed Of
more bulky grain. Exercise or action
too soon after eating retards digestion,
and the animal that must travel at a
good gait with loaded stomach cannot
but show the effects, and If driven rap
idly for even a short distance after eat
ing a hearty meal there is considerable
risk of the collie.
Watering properly is fully as impor-
tant as feeding. When horse is being
driven ON the road, he should not at any
time be allowed to overload his stom
ach with large quantity of water. So
far as is possible the rule should be to
give water frequently, and while he
should have all that he win drink it
should be given in small doses.
A horse in good health can stand
more work and more driving without
injury than one that is in any way out
of condition. The feed and care should
be such as are best calculated to main
tain health and thrift, and then, when
ON the road, care must be taken to use
this strength and vigor to the best ad-
vantage.
The good driver can tell by the way
his horse goes the amount Of work he
should have.-Cor. St. Louis Republic.

THE LION PATH.

The long grass rustles, and the darkness moves

Go there-through that live darkness hideous
With stir of crouchng forms that wait to kill7
All, lookl See there-and there-and there

Great yellow CLASSY eyes close to the groundl
Looki Now the clouds are lighter, / can see
The long slow lashing of the sinewy tails
And the set culver of strong jaws that wait.

So perfectly the lions in the path?
Comes one who dares.
Afraid at first, yet bound
On such high errands no fear could stay.
Forth goes he, with the lions in his path.
And then
He dared a death of agony
Outnumbered battle with the king of beasts;
Long struggle in the horror of the night;
Dared and went forth to meet-O we who fearl
Finding an empty road and nothing there
A wide, bare common road with hOmely fields
And fences and the dusty roadside trees
Some splitting kittens maybe in the grass.
