ssOnce Upon q TIme."

The Dark Continent is now nothing
like it's name. We know it almost
from end to end, and side to side,
along each of it's lines of longitude and
parallels of latitude. True, Rider
Haggard has civilly tried to cheer US
back into the old paths of eerie belief;
but though he does we'll in the mat.
ter and gives us momentary thrills, he
fails to convince US. His thousand
year.old queens and cavernous treasure
chambers are exceedingly welcome,
vet when we get to the word "Finis"
it is all up with fancy. We shut the
book, e1claim "Pretty good for a lie"
and resume our unromantic work at
so much an hour or 80 much year,
fundamentally unconsoled though the
romancer has romanced ever 80 close
ly to natures lines.
As for commonplace, "Once upon
time" we laugh it out Of court. The
tale that presumes to come before us
marked across the brow with the
words, "I'm a pleasing but wholly
improbable story" may be good
enough for our children in knlcker-
bockers and short frocks; but it won't
do for us. We demand subtle stories
of living and moving individuals; and
every action and gesture of the per-
sons on the pages must ring and feel
true and thoroughly rational ere the
book as a whole can be praised. ALI

FOOD FOR HOGS.

Corn is a standard food for hogs,
though wheat is also excellent when
soaked OF ground and mashed. Boiled
potatoes and barley meal are consid-
cred to make the finest favored bacon.
Cracked corn and wheat bran in
equal parts, stirred in slops or pure
water, is most nutritious, healthful
and fat-producing feed, but this should
be alternated with dry corn every
three or four days for best results.
When milk is given, it should be
fed with buckwheat bran or meal in
order to avoid hardness and dryness
of the lean meat which milk-food pro-
duces. Pea-fed pork is also hard and
dry. Sugar beets form On excellent
ration if given occasionally in limited
amounts, but too steady feeding is
cloying. The flesh of pigs fed on
clover pasture during the summer,
afterwards finished with oats and peas,
is excellent.
Wood ashes or charcoal should be
supplied to correct the acidity of the
stomach, brought about by too ex-
elusive grain feeding. It does this by
the potash which it contains, and
which little further burning would
develop into ash. 1t in this way aids
digestion, and there is more in what
the hog digests than in what he eats.

A Chameleon Spider.

cit has always been q hobby OF
mine" said T. L. Grimshaw, Of
Raleigh, N. G., yesterday, "to collect
strange bugs and insects during my
travels, and think I have succeeded
in getting together pretty choice
collection. Of the whole assortment
think the chameleon spider which I
got last summer on the coast of Africa
is the most valuable. The capture of
this insect was highly interesting to
me. One afternoon, while tramping
along dusty road, I noticed in the
bushes which grew along the side what
appeared to be a singular-looking
white flower with blue center. Stop
ping to examine it I found to my as
tonishment that it was not flower at
all, but spiders web, and that the
supposed light blue heart of the flower
was the spider itself lying in wait for
its prey.
''The mottled brown legs of the
spider were exposed in such way as
to resemble the divisions between the
petals of a flower. The web itself,
very delicately woven into a rosette
pattern, was white, and the threads
that suspended it from the bushes
were 80 fine as to be almost invisible.
The whole thing had the appearance
of being suspended in the air upon
stem concealed beneath. Upon
tnookino the snider from his perch
into the white gauze net which I car
ried, my surprise was greatly in
creased upon seeing my captive in
stantly turn in color from blue to
white. shook the net, and again the
spider changed color, this time its
body becoming dull greenish brown.
As often as I would shake the net just
80 often would the spider change its
color, and I kept it up until it had as
sumed about every hue of the rain
bow."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HOGS REWRITING TO WILD TYPE.

The hog is the domesticated animal
which has least of human society, and
what it has, as in the parable of the
prodigal son, is not of the most ele-
waiting character If left to look out
for himself the hog more quickly be-
comes wild and loses the few good
qualities, as to easy laying on of fat
that domestnation, feeding and breed
ing have produced. It don't take
many years for herd of hogs to re-
trograde to the original wild type and
become really vicious and dangerous
animals. Old sows after four or five
litters become coarse, and their tusks
grow longer than is safe for any one
exposed to them. The male hog is
still worse in this respect. Yet a
coarsely-built old SOW bred to rure-
bred boar of the smaller-boned breeds
will give pigs. that will fatten faster
and make larger growth than will the
pigs from fner-formed but less ma
ture dam. Boston Cultivator.
