SUPPOSE farmer raises half @ dozen hogs which at the end of a year weigh 300 pounds each, and have cost him S7 apiece. The experiment stations say it is cheaper to kill those hogs then than to keep them an other year and try to quake them weigh as much more. If the farmer wants to raise twice as much meat as the six hogs produce in one year, he can better afford to keep twelve hogs for one year than six hogs for two years. The twelve hogs will cost him only S7 apiece, or SS4; but six hogs for two years, provided they are brought up to the standard of 500 pounds, will cost him not $14 apiece for the two years, but S11 apiece the second year, or SIS for the two years, making the cost of the same amount of meat S10S instead of SS4.

THE Jeddo tunnel has been completed and a valuable coal field reopened. Some eight years ago the region around Hazle- ton, Pa., was occupied by thousands of miners and covered by substantial houses. The great coal mine was mine of wealth. But one day the waters of a creek that ran near the mine overflowed the banks and rushed down in the mine. The miners barely escaped with their lives. The pro- prietors estimated that it would not pay to pump the mine out and it was abandoned. But three years ago a tunnel was begun under the mine for the purpose of tapping it and drawing the water out. This tunnel has just been completed at cost of S1 ,0O0,- C00

Cloth Shoes.

A chiropodist express s the opinion
that most of the trouble of corns
could be averted by wearing cloth
shoes. These may At the feet snugly
and yet not produce the injurious eff
fects Of leather shoes of equal snug
ness. They obviate the tendency to
the formation of corns on the toes by
furnishing healthful ventilation; by
providing a soft material at the ten
der part of the foot, by which mini
mum of friction is secured, and by
the yielding nature of the material,
the pressure of which the foot can
more easily overcome than it can that
of the harder finished leather, such
as French kid and pebble goat. OF
course, to attain these beneficial re-
suits, there must be no leather toe
caps on the shoes.

announced that a collection would be
taken up to defray the cost of coal for
heating the church. Everybody Clipped

was presented to him, but nothing else.

surmised that he might have left his
money at home. Not quite enough mon
ey having been realized, similar con-
tribution was levied the following Sum
day. As before. every one gave but TIN,
who looked mighty sly, and the priest
wondered thereat Meeting Tim after
the service, he took him to task for his
conduct. CHOW, Tim, why didn't you

He was not constitutionally brave,
and now that ruin stared him in the
face he feared to face the music.
1t still wanted six weeks until
quarter day. Butcher, baker and
candle dealer-forh he had INDUCED in
the sacerd otal luxury of an oratory-
were pressing for the payment of
claims. He had only five pounds and
few odd shillings in his purse. and
his wife. who ought to be more
prudent. was urging him to take
holiday.
There was some excuse for the wo-
man, for there were times when her
husbands pallid cheeks and worn
frame appealed to her unimaginative
mind. Besides she was mother, and
while the. church warden's children
went to the seaside every year her
own little ones had never yet been
outside the wilderness of bricks and
mortar wherein their home lay. 1t
was not much that she pleaded for.
No more than an artisans wife would
have demanded as right A day ex-
cursion to Northwood - the place
where her husbands boyhood had
been passed and which she had never
seen-was advertised. Could they
not GO?
It was this request that troubled
the curate. He felt that it would be
easier and wiser to face financial ruin
than to venture within enchanted
ground. The mere mention of the
name of the old seaside town awoke
varied memories within his mind.
He sat with his aching head sup
ported upon his thin hands, looking
backward upon the time when his
father. a struggling tradesman, had
sent him, full of hope to Oxford.
There were other mental pictures
mingling with this, one in which love
and ambition figured. But he shut
his eyes upon them, for they neither
concerned his wife nor the present
hour. The love, so he thought, was
dead, and only the ashes of ambition
remained.
He saw the friendless student be-
come first a schoolmaster who could
never control his boys, then pros
porous curate, who, wearying of
working among those who failed to
comprehend his teachings, and open
ly sneered at his visionary ideas,
rashly plunged into the vortex of
matrimony. His choice, unhappi1y,
fell upon girl who was filter to
worship the clergy at a distance than
to take one of their number under
watch and ward. The result was
that the blossoms of courtship yielded
Dead sea fruit.

it occurred to him that the hardest

tions, so were others whom he knew,
