THE ORIGIN OF HOME.
What Society Does and what IL Does
Not DO. o..
Elprpnea Hall I'M

What Society DOes and what IL Does
Florence Hall In Godey's.
Society, which protects it's members
and makes 1t possible for them to dwell
together in unity, lie the oppressor Of in
dividual life 1t exscts ef every man
and woman the performance of certain
social duties" which phrase, taken in
ite larger sense, means everything which
has for it's expressed intention the good
OF others, even though the Interior object
he the individuals own pleasure or profit.
Few persons are SO lacking in
policy as to confess to being self-seekers !;
every one is obliged to practice altruism
to certain extent, whether he really
feels an interest in the welfare Of others,
or only works because he cannot live
without it. Society thus makes TRAITS
upon us which we must respond TO, and
in return it affords us the comforts and
amenities Of civilized life.
Yet there is an instructive feeling in the
heart OF man that society is not friendly
to the development of those impulses
and emotions upon which his happi-
ness as an individual depends. He 10
perpetually called upon to spend his
energies, no suggestion 10 made that
~ .O"AU SOsAoVi No tNCns anu 30, look
ing about for some place In which to re-
cuperate his exhausted forces, he con
ceived the idea of erecting little bul.
wark against the outside world, in which
those matters personal to himself should
be carried on privately and in quiet.
This is the origin OF the homo. It was,
first OF all, a refuge, q defence against
hostile powers, whether they came "a
armed foes to assail life and property, or
as thievish guests to carry of what was
dearer still to the owner, wife and child
rem. Protection against the elements,
and against the rapacity OF his kind, lie
AN instructive precaution man exercises
In his lowest condition. When he can
only think Of things as valuable, he
guards things, building, as the Saxons
did, his mud huts, with thatch of reeds
AMI straw, surrounded bv the great outer
wall or Notification, and thinking him
self happy II no seizure is made OF his
rude furniture, his armor and his metal
drinking vessels. As he becomes more
refined, he has more property to guard,
silver and gold, tapestries, jewels; after
a while, books and statuary and
paintings. His defence now becomes
more complex, he employs other men to
watch his possessions, and construct
banks to hold what 10 more precious, and
contrives cunning locks, Of which no one
knows the secret but himself.

SWINE NOTES.
Corn or wheat and mill feed together
make better rations than either alone,
The right kind Of food is an essential
item in profitable hog feeding.
The ration should be one that will
maintain the vitality Of the SOW and en-
able her to farrow strong, healthy pige.
1t can hardly be called good manage
ment that permits the brood SOW and the
growing pigs to sleep in manure heaps.
II sucking pigs are fed ON too rich food, ,
either themselves or through their moth
ers, there is considerable risk OF scours.
For the first few weeks quantity rather
than very rich quality should be the aim.
The best package for conveying wheat
to market is a pigskin.
The Canada field pea is recommended
by Field and Farm for feeding hogs.
Three bushels to the acre sown broadcast
and plowed under the surface is recon-.
mended
1t is q question Of only short time
when the raising Of hogs will be recog-
nized generally as one of the most profit
able businesses that farmers can engage
in. With plenty Of alfalfa to start their
growth. and grain in the fall of the
year, it has been already founda profit
able investment.
Wyoming ranchmen are discovering
that their valley lands are most favor
able for raising hogs. These animals
thrive on alfalfa, aud are not subject to
disease. The meat brings q good price.
Grain and alfalfa are easily raised, and
there is no business which can be made
more profitable than that Of raising hogs
An English pig-breeder writes: Tu
the first meal after narrowing, which
should be given as soon as convenient,
always use two ounces OF Epson salts
and two ounces OF powdered sulphur
mixed with little warm milk. This

AS winter pasture for all kinds oil

green rye, when raised on rich land and
sown early enough to get good start be-

hogs get all the green rye they can eat in
winter, nothing like constipation il
noticed in them. Indeed hogs do very
well without any grain in moderate win
ter weather, if they have free access to 9
green rye field. Rye obviates skin trou
bic efiectually and gives to hogs clear
and healthy look.
1t is claimed that feeding pigs with
ground wheat and corn mixed will make

Hut the Managing Editor Was Startled
ut Being Personally Told So.
From the Chicago Mail.
The old commercial aphorism, "Busi.
ness is business" has most earnest ad-
vocate in young man employed in the
counting-room of the Herald. He swervee
neither to the right nor to the left, and
when the subscription list shows that a
reader is in arrears he 10 after him hot
foot. At times, however, he is too pre-
cipitate, and In consequence gets tangled
up badly in his anxiety to look after the
interests OF his paper.
The managing editor OF the Herald.
Horatio w. Seymour, has for the last
couple of months been seriously ill, and
on the advice Of his physicians concluded
several weeks ago to seek q warmer and
more congenial climate. He settled upon
Asheville, N. c., az the most desirable
locality, and thither he journeyed with
his family: While the editor has for the
moment given up writing, or in any way
worrying over the daily publication of the
| junior Democratic organ, he naturally
feels DESTROYS Of having the Herald or
hie breakfast table every morning. So /
was that when he departed South he lef
Instructions to have it sent regularly Il
him in his Southern home.
One day two weeks ago the younI
counting room clerk in locking over hi
llst Of delinquent subscribers stumbled
over the name of Horatio W. Seymour
Asheville, N. 9.
"Well, this will never do" unused tn,
new cler k. "Horatio Seymour, it woult
appear, has failed to pay in advance
and III just have to notify the gentle
man of that TACT. His bill to the clos'
of the month is exactly ST."
Without loss OF time the editor was in
cluded in the list OF delipQuents, snt
forthwith bill was sent him detailing
that fact, width the addition that II b,
didn't pay up his paper would be stopped
Imagine the clerks surprise when ,
week later ne received letter in which
the editor said: "Stop the paper and b,
id it's no good, anyhow"
Showing the letter to one OF the oil
clerks, the new one remarked: "rhi
fellow seems miffed some what on &C
count OF the bill sent him"
"What fellow?" asked the old clerk.
why, this fellow in Asheville, Hora
ito w. Seymour"
"Well, you dod gasted ninny, don't yo,
know who he is? That's the managin
editor Of this paper, and you shoul'
have had better sense"
That settled it. The poor clerk locke
as cheap as an old coat and begged hi
brother clerk not to give it away.
The story leaked out, however, and 70
several days past the young bushes
man has been the laughing stock of tn
counting and editorial rooms.

THE WAGES OF SIN.
NcNabb, The Baseball Pitcher, Kills Mrs
Rockwell and Himself.


At Pittsburg, Pa, Wednesday evening,
Peter McNabb, who last year pitched for
Baltimore baseball teams, shot and ia
tally wounded Mrs. M. E. Rock we'll, and

Each chop chips chip; each ad adds

better results. It's the last chop that

added that of all that have gone before
50 also it is the last ad that is the most
effective, Had it not been for the FIRST
