Mr.. FpIToR:-I ask all who are engaged
In raising hogs, also the veterinarians,
why does hog cholera prevail to such All
extont In Delaware and else whsre2 be.
lleye the question is solved. and every
farmer and those who keep hogs In our
towns need but examine the place and
pen. or sty. where hogs are kept and
what they are glyen to sat. A great ma j.
jority OF those who raise hoRs believe a
hog is made to live In filth and eat all
kinds OF rotten grain and vegetables,
besides all the dirty swhl from the
kitchen.
All this putrescent not sour liquid Ia
poured into dirty trough In pen with
no noor but mud hole In the ground, or
clean, dry place to lie down, no clean
water to DIR nix, no change oil diet, but
stufied with stinktRg, not sour swill, and
perhaps green corn or new corn, and thav
thrive on such food only TO contract dis.

Further he says, / believe that II they

have died. am firm Lellever that ex.
elusive corn feeding IL responsible for a
large per cent. OF the Ions from cholera
which often sweeps off whole
herds. These writer's have nothing
to say about a cure for hog cholera, but
they insiat onIhaylng clear pens, and clear
surroundings, change OF food weekly.
plenty of good clear pure water to drink
daily, and lime used as o dislnfeetant

and no disease will appear.
Prevention is etill all Important, and no
pains should be spared to ward on thIs
terrible disease. II our producers or
ralsers Of hogs persist In following IN the
old way--that Is. keeping their hogs In a
small, dirty pen aud no thought given to
what they eat. and no clean water daily

death to follow negligence and Ignorance,

slept in a clean. dry place. About the
middle of September q pen was made

The Minister Thought There Was o Good
Deal Before He Finished the Job.
just after the battle Of Perryville in
October, 1859, DR.. Savage, strong Union
man, was at one of his appointments to
baptize some children. There was q large
crowd, and southern matron brought
her four children to the altar.
"NaIne this child" said the Union
preacher, laying his hand on the child's
head.
"Simon Bolivar Buckner," was the re-
ply, which caused smile to come over the
congregation, but the brave preacher went
on with his duty.
"Name this child, taking tho next In
order.
"Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard, I"
and the smile grew into a smoker, whils
DIR. Savage became red in the face. He
baptized the young namesake of the en-.
gineer soldier and went ON with the oers-
mony.
Name this child, he gasped, reaching
for the third.
"Albert Sidney johnson" came the an
swer.
The smile became audible Heaving
sigh of relief, he took the fourth, girl,
whose gender ho fondly supposed would
preclude continuation Of heroic reproduo-
tions, and said,
"Name this child"
Mary Stonewall Jackson Lee" came
the response that set the congregation into
a roar, while the Union parson thought he
had held In his arms the whole Southern
Confederaoy.-Troy Times.

Little Shuswap lake Is stated to have a
fiat bottom, with depth varying from SO
to "a feet, measured from the mean high
water mark. The deepest water found In
tho Great Shuswap was bb5 feet, about sig
miles northward from Cinnemousun mar
rows in Seymour Arm, though the whole
lake Is notably deep. Adams lake, how
ever, exceeds either of the Shuswaps, as Its
average depth for 30 miles is upward Of
100 feet, and ct one point a depth of
1900 feet was recorded. In the northwest
corner of this lake, at depth of /, lis feet,
the purpose Of the scientific explorers was
defeated by the presence of mysterious
submarine cnrrents which played with
the sounding line like some giant fish and
prevented any measurements being taken.
1t Is complete mystery how the our
rents could have been created at this depth,
and scientific curiosity will no doubt im-
pei either public or private enterprise to
send a second expedition to the scene this
summer to endeavor to solve the riddle.
As the height Of the surface of this lake Is
1880 feet above the sea level, Its present
bed Is therefore only 100 feet above the
sea, although distant 900 miles from the
nearest part q the ocean. DIR. Dawson
and bis associates believe that tho beds of
some Of the mountain lakes In the region
are many feat lower than the sea level

Continuing the witness said she was
taken from Toronto to Prescott Canada,
from where they crossed to Ogdensburg,
N. Y. She then went to Burlington, VT,
where she went under the name of Cook.
s"The second week we were here" said

put her of from time to time, assuring
her the children and her husband were all
right. Subsequently he told her that Pite-
eel was drinking in Montreal, and what
she should do II he died Continuing wit
ness said: "He told me 4 have a grave
marked for him."
Witness further said all her letters to
her husband were given to Holmes and
that he in turn sent them to Pat Quinlan,
janitor Of the Chicago CASTLE to forward
to her husband. A number of these let
ters were identified by the writer's None

children had written were produced At
the sight of them the witness was over

to revive her by giving her medicine.
In reply to further questions Mrs. Pite-
eel said she had not seen her husband since
July 20, 1894. nor heard from him since
August of the same year. She had never
heard from the children since Holmes took
possession Of them, though she had seen
the bodies Of Alice and Nellie at the To-
ronto morgue and articles that belonged
to Howard In the coroner's office at In
dianapolis.
Mrs. Pitezel's testimony was unshaken
by cross examination, which was contin-
ued In the evening session. Her daughter
"Dessa" gave corroborative testimony.

OLD scAaLsrr,s BURIAL PLACE.
In Peterborough Cathedral, Of which II.
Had Been Sexton Many Years.

In Peterborough Cathedral, Of which Ne
Had Been sexton Many Years.
II the visitor to Peterborough cathedral
enters the building through the famous
west entrance, which has so often, and
with good reason, been called the most
magnificent portioo, not only In England,
but in all Europe, and turns abruptly to
the left, before proceeding down the nave,
he will SEQ upon the wall before him a
striking portrait and quaint Inscription
which mark the burial place of old Scar
lett, under the floor Of the cathedral, Just
beneath.
The tombstone set In the floor, explains
as tho inscription on the wall says that ii
will, that he died In 1894, aged 9s years.
His office, that OF sexton of the cathedral
and the town, is indicated by the keys
which he carries and by tho spade, pickax
and skull beside him. A close examina.
tion of the picture shows leathern whip
hanging from his belt, and 1t seems that
the reason for this was that one of the
duties OF his office was to look after truant
and naughty children. Ii is in connection
with this that he is described as having q
"scarebabe mighty voice, and it Is inter
esting to note that this Is tho only record
OF the use Of the word "soarebsbe" known
In the Englirh language.
Tho statement that "he has inferred
this towns householders In his life's space
twice over" does not mean that he resur-
reoted and reinforced them, but merely
that his own length of life, 9s years, was
so great that he buried two generations of
his neighbors. All this might have been
true OF old Scarlett, though, and he have
boon forgotten long ago, were It not for

TERED two queens within this space"
These were Katherine of AraRon, buried
here In 1886, and Mary, queen Of Scots, in
1887. 1t was strange chance which sent
for burial to this same church the bodies
of those two unhappy, foreign born queens,
perhaps the most pathetic figures in all
English history.
Queen Mary's mutilated body was
brought here as the nearest suitable
church to Fotheringay castle, where she
was beheaded, only q few miles distant.
Her body lay here for about IS years, un-
til her son, then become James Of Eng
land, had 1t removed to Westminster ABB
bey. There still hangs, framed and glazed,
upon pillar near the vault where she was
buried, the letter which King James sent
to the dean of Peterborough, asking for
the removal Of the body.
The burial place Of Queen Katherine ID
unmarked except for small brass plate in
the floor bearing her name. When King
Henry VIII was asked why he did not build
her suitable monument, he is said to
have replied that he left her the grandest
monument which ever woman had, mean.

against the Catholic churches, he spared

Uproariously Cheered by New York Demo-
Gratis When Read by Senator Hill.
ALBANY, Oct 8t.-There was an inter
esting feature of tho Democratic mass
meeting here last night that was not down
upon the bills. The feature of the meet
ing was to be the presenceo of United States
Senator David B. Hill who was to make
lengthy address. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Congressman Charles Tracey,
q personal friend Of President Cleveland.
While the secretary was reading the usual
number of regrets Senator Hill caused a
sensation by reading this telegram, dated
Washington, and addressed to General
Tracey.
II have your letter and beg you to con-
vey to my Albany friends and former
neighbors at the Democratic ratification
meeting this evening my cordial congrat-
ulations on the wise and patriotic declara-
tions in their state platform concerning
the leading questions before the American
people, and the assurance of my earnest
wish for the success of our excellent state
ticket. GROVER CLEVELAND"
When the vast audience of over 5000
people had recovered from the surprise
that the telegram seemed to cause there
was cheer that very nearly rent the
building In twain, and this continued for
some minutes Senator Hill smiled and
Joined In the applause with hearty good
will, and this seemed to encourage the
audience to renew it again and again.

To Keep Bread Fresh.

the baking takes place once fortnight or
certainly at fairly long intervals, such
thing as unpleasantly stale bread is almost
unknown. 1t Is put away In a peculiar
manner, which tends to preserve Its fresh
ness. Sprinkle flour freely into an empty
flour sack, and into this pack the loaves,
being careful to have the top orusts of two
loaves touching. Where they have to lie
bottom to bottom sprinkle -four between
them. Tie up the sack and hang it up In
an airy place, NOT against wall, but so
that 1t can swing. The day before the loaf
Is wanted take 1t out, brush off the flour
and stand 1t In the cellar overnight. In
this way bread remains edible for three or
four weeks

PARIS, Oct. s1.-The two islands Of
Huahine and Borabora, also known as
Bolabola, belonging to the Tahitian group,
in the South Pacific, have been annexed
to France, by consent Of the native chiefs.
The islands are situated northwest of Ia
hiti, and the former has a population esti-
mated to number 1900. The latter is
nearly thirty miles In circumference. Both
form part Of the Society islands proper,
otherwise the Leeward islands, and have
hitherto been considered distinct from the

been under French proteotorate, although
nominaily governed by Queen Pomaro, a
