It has long been wide spread belief
that the free siiverites can make more
noise in proportion to their numbers than
any other aggregation Of theorists in the
world. When the constituents OF Richard
p. Bland elected him to stay at home
there was evidence Of this. The following
editorial paragraph from the st. Louis
Globe Democrat Is on the same line;
"The free silver sentiment Is not as strong
now as it was two or three years ago in
either Of the great parties. It's opponents
will not be able to muster as many fol-
lowers in 1896 as they did in 1892. An

1t has been found that the manual
training of boys in Portland's grammar
schools has resulted in the boys going ahead
in their study of arithmetic SO fast that
special lessons have to be given the girls
to keep them up with the boys. Now it
is proposed to give the girls lessons In
cooking while their brothers are taking
lessons in manual work. But whether
lessons in cooking will develop the
mathematical genius of the girls will de-
pend upon whether they are taught to
cook upon mathematical formulas or
by guess as too many grown up girls
do.

ASHES FOR HOGS.

A subscriber writes: If the ground
upon which hogs are fed is clay or con-
tains soft rock, which the hogs eat,
will it hinder them from growing or
fattening? ! fed bunch of hogs upon
a clay hillside, which contained soft
rock, and I noticed them roofing into
the ground and eating the rock quite
often. They did not grow or fatten as
they should, but seemed very healthy.
Was told hogs would not do well on
such soil.
If our correspondent had supplied his
hogs with ashes or something of that
nature he would have found that they
would have fattened more than they
did, and would not have eaten as much
of the soft rock he describes. Hogs
have craving for material of this
kind, and it should be catered to by
seeing that they always have access to
hardwood ashes. When they are be-
ing fattened on corn this is especially
advisable.
At the Wisconsin Experiment station
they found that the effect of feeding
such material as hardwood ashes and
bone meal to hogs receiving acorn ra.
tion, resulted in saving of twenty.
eight per cent of the corn required tc
produce 100 pounds gain. The ashes
seem to act as a corrective in some way
and facilitates digestion. Hogs will
be noticed frequently munching de-
cayed brick, soft stone and other like
material, especially if they have not
been given ashes In the three expert
ments referred to, in feeding ashes, il
took 4S7 pounds of cornmeal to pro.
duce 100 pounds of gain, when bone
meal was fed; 491 pounds when ashes
were fed, and $40 pounds when these
were withheld from the ration and
corn fed alone. The strength of the
bones of the hogs was more thar
doubled by feeding bone meal, fact
which has an important bearing on the
common trouble experienced by fatten
ing hogs losing the use of their legs
owing to weakness.

ASLEEP ELEVEN YEARS.

There is girl, named Marguerite
Bouyenval, at Thenelles. in the north
of France, near Saint Quentin, who is
reported to have been asleep for the past
eleven years. A good deal of doubt
has been thrown on this phenomenal
slumbering case, not only in Paris,
but also in Thenelles and its vicinity,
where there are two camps, one of the
believers and the other of those who
beauty rises at night and has a good
supper. The matter has been investi-
gated by Partisan, who has seen the
girl and found her as lean as skeleton
and as stiff as corpse, but still living.
Her mother injects milk, peptone, and
smetimes wine through broken tooth
in the girls mouth.
Marguerite Bouyenval made away
with baby eleven years ago, and the
gendarmes were sent to her house.
The girl was so frightened at their ap-
proach that she had an attack of hys-
terra, which lasted several hours, and
at the end of which she fell into a
trance. The doubts thrown ON the
continuation of the trance have evil
IDENTIFY been caused by the fact that the
mother of the sleeping girl has made a
good deal Of money by exhibiting her.
A local doctor, who has observed the
case during the eleven years, informed
the investigator from Paris that Mar
guerite Bouyenval had really been
asleep during the whole time. Occa-
sionally she had hysterical cries. but
did not awake after them. Other
doctors have also agreed as to the
commences of the phenomenon, and
the sleeping girl of Thenelles remains
a human mystery. Letter to
London Telegraph.

SWAPPING DAY IN TENNESSEE.

Ben Marks, travelling man, was en-
countered yesterday, and the gentleman
responded to question as to what he
knew as follows:
Ibid you ever hear of 'horse-swap-
ping day" in Tennessee? Well, it was
ON one Saturday afternoon several
drummers. including myself, were on
9. and 0. train coming up through
Dyer county in Tennessee, and when
near Dyersburg the train was delayed
about an hour and half by an acct
dent. We looked down the track sew
eral hundred yards and discovered lot
of men, boys. horses and mules moving
about. We questioned the conductor
as to what the excitement was and he
replied that it was se-swapping
day. Then out of curiosity we all
went down. On the way we met an
editor of one of the country papers
there, and he accompanied us to the
place to see that we were properly
treated by the strangers and to give us
few pointers, says the Evansville
News-J Journal.

distance further over the toughest
kind of newly made road we reached
the place. We drew up where two men
stood on horseback cycling each other
and each others horses closely. Our
presence did not disturb them. One of
the men was mounted ON a raw boned
dapple gray, while the other nag was
of deep yellow, and looked much like
living. moving, hatrack. One was
leading mule and the other an old
steed that looked like broken down
car horse. Presently the man ON the
yellow horse said to the other:
'Well?'
The answer was Well"

after dickering for some time a
trade was effected, and one of them
got dollar to boot.
"We wandered about over the place,
that covered about an acre and half,
until we grew tired. and then returned
to the train. On the way back we
overheard two of the strangers talk
ing. One of these said he was three
jacknives and 1926 in money ahead.
I'VE were told that. these swapping
days are held once month. The men
meet at this place and swap anything
from jacknife to farm, but trading
in horses is the favorite fancy with
them.

A QUESTION OF COSTUME.

They object to the new woman in
certain quarters because she initiates
man. She tries to dress like him.
Well, there was time when men imi.
tated women, and did it very thorough
ly. too. A little research into the his.
tory of costume, into the ebb and flow
of fashion, sometimes throws flashlight
glimpses into the hidden causes OF
great social movements.
After the fall of the Roman Empire
the sexes started about fair in the mat
ter of clothes. Our Teutonic ancestors
adopted costume which was almost
the same for men and women, and
consisted of two main garments. the
Roman tunica and toga. The tunica
was virtually shirt with long sleeves,
and was buckled at the waist. The
men wore it reaching to the knees, and
the women to the ankles. In colder
northern ATTITUDES the men, as a great
innovation. added trousers, but these
were looked upon in the light of a
distinct extra. and were not considered
in hot weather. There
seems to be no doubt that the blouse of
the modern European peasant is a
direct descendant of the tunica.

LATE SUPPERS.

The old tradition that to eat any thing
Just before going to bed was sure to
produce indigestion and render sleep
impossible is now happily exploded.
1t is not good, as matter of fact, to 60
to bed with the stomach so loaded that
the undigested food should render one
restless. but something of light, pal
atable nature in the stomach is one of
the best aids to quietude and rest in
bed. The process of digestion goes on
in sleep with as much regularity as
when one is taking violent exercise to
aid it, and so something in the stomach
is very desirable condition for the
nights rest. Some physicians have
declared, indeed, that good deal of
the prevalent insomnia is the result of
an uncon scious craving of the stomach
for food in persons who have been un-
duly frightened by the opinion that
they must not eat before going to bed,
or who have, like many nervous
women, been keeping themselves in
a state of semi starvation.
Nothing is more agreeable on retir-
ing for the night than to take bowl of
hot broth, like oatmeal cruel or clam
soup. 1t is positive aid to nervous
people, and induces peaceful slumbers.
This is especially the case on cold win
ter nights, when the stomach Graves
warmth as much as any other part of
the body. Even glass of hot milk is
grateful to the palate on such occasions,
but light, well-cooked cruel is better,
and in our climate during the cold
months of winter should be the retiring
food of every woman who feels, as
many do, the need of food at night
