Suspicious.

A wealthy and generous English
man, while travelling in America,
attending a church maintained by
a colored congregation, was so
pleased with the minister's simple
sermon and the attitude of the wor-
shippers that he dropped FIVE dollars
into the basket when it was passed
for the usual collection.
so large contribution seemed to
fill with amazement the brethren
who passed the baskets, and one of
them, in whisper, confded the fact
OF the unusual contribution to the
pastor, who arose and said to the
congregation:
Beloved fren's, de collection hab
brought fo'th de munif'cent sum
OBJ sixteen dollars and forty-nine
cents, purwided de fve-dollar bill
glib by de white gemman am not

A Railroad Jack of All Trades.

A railroad on which it is absolute
ly impossible for the train men
to strike against the officers is to
be found in Cass county, Ohio. 1t
is called the Cincinnati, Hooking,
Valley and Huntington Railroad,
and its peculiar features are thus
described by the Chicago Herald:
1t is only ten miles in length, and
was organized and built mainly by
John Karshner, a wealthy farmer.
When the road was built he sold the
crops Of his farm for one year and
bought locomotive, which he call
ed the John Karshner. Then he
had built combination passen-
ger and baggage car. He has been
operating the road for two years.
At first.he employed conductor
and freight agent, and followed
the customs Of larger roads. But
being an active man, though over
seventy years of age, he soon dis
pensed with all superhuous services,
and now he combines within him.

A Long Drawn Out Dose.

From the small, tattered news
boys and bootblacks, matching PEN
MES on the sidewalk, to faultlessly
dressed but careworn looking busi-
ness men, the prevailing mania seems
TO be for speculation. Commenting
On this tendency, Il writer in a late
number of the American Magazine
tells the following story:
A young physician who has made
more money in buying and selling
land during the last year than he
could expect to make with his pills
and powders in half a lifetime,
and whose mind was taken up more
with lis speculation than with his
practice, called upon patient one
day last summer, and after making
his examination, wrote prescrip-
ton in an absent minded manner.
AS he was about leaving, the in
valid noticed that no directions had
been written for taking the medi-
cine, and called his attention to the
fact. "Oh, yes" he said, II forgot.
One third down, and the balance
in one and two years."

Breeding hogs should have suf-
ficient amount of growing food to
keep in what can be considered a
good growing condition all of the
time. The rations should, as far as
is possible to supply, be a growthy
rather than a fatening one. 1t is
to say the least, detrimental to the
best health and thrift, not only of
the animals themselves, but of their
progeny to have breeding animals fat.
The offspring of over fat animals
themselves are not so good for breed
ing or fattening, as those from par
ents with less fat and more vigor.
For this reason generally, their ra-
tions should be a combination or
mixture, rather than any one thing.
