ON A SUMMER DAY.
A Scene Taken from Life, But Slight

Howell Van Rensselaer, Gibbon
was stretched full length in the
hammock waving a sandalwood fan.
The girl in the pink shirtwaist sat in
q bamboo porch chair; her fluffy hair
was brushed back from her forehead
and a handkerchief was tucked De-
tween her stiff, white collar and
warm chin-she looked cool, but was
really suffering.

Howell murmured lazily as he
swung, is the object of putting us

making us so frightfully uncomfort-

wore sailor hat and an air-exclud-
ing white veil; her hair was in curl,
and not a drop of moisture was to
! be seen on her forehead; her collar
was barbarously high and stiff, her
belt was tight and trim; she wore
/ gloves, a spotless, white duck skirt
and a flaming crimson shirtwaist.

There is a fallacy current on mems

national congress, are classified by
numbers, that there are too many

that for the public good, there are
not nearly lawyers enough. 1t de-
ponds a little upon what you call
lawyer; and these estimates are
based on every mans attribution of

better evidence, indeed could be de-
sired that more lawyers are needed
in making our laws than is afforded
by the laws that are actually made.

THE NEW HOG.
A Different Being from Him Our
Fathers Knew.

Fathers Knew.
AS compared with years ago, we
have a new hog. He is new in his
makeup, lives fast and dies early for
profit, and hence is handled differ
emily than he used to be. The de-
hands upon him are also new. In
stead of year and a half old he
must mature in seven or eight
months. A writer on this subject
says that now the feeding weight of
the hog of commerce is 175 or 200
pounds, instead of 800 or $50 as
formerly. This writer says that hogs
of 300 pounds of dead weight and up
ward could hardly be produced with
out their being wintered over This
took all the gliding off the ginger
bread, unless prices were abnormally
high. But hogs weighing Us pounds
to 200 pounds can be brought to
salable maturity in the course of
one season. An early spring litter
of them can be fitted for market be-
fore cold weather begins to make
feeding Improbable Then. when
the young pigs are sold off, there is
only the breeding SOW, or possibly
two Of them, to keep over winter,
and she or they can roam the barn
yard, pick up waste grain, working
over manure and taking comfort be-

Homer had been put into shape by

OLD SCHOOL MEDICINES.
Herbs We're Remedies for Every III,
from Consumption TO Melancholy.


To cure sickness by means Of herbs
and roots was the good old-fashioned
method before the days of medical
colleges and high priced specialists.
Mr. John Peachey, of London, 200
years ago got up "A Compleat
Herbal of Physical Plants" for fam
lily use It is now rare book 1t
contains a list of all English and
foreign herbs, shrubs and trees, and
also the Gums, Balsams, Oyls,
Juices and the like, which are used
in Physick and Surgery
He comforts himself in the preface
by remarking that It's better to be
beneficial to men than to be beloved
by them. And the solid Comfort Of
Well-doing infinitely surpasses the
fleeing Praises OF the giddy Multi
tude.
OF apples Mr.. Peachey says: ''The
Vertues of apples are various, ac-
cording to the different Tastes of
Them and after dealing with ripe
fruit, remarks that Rotten Apples
take off Infiammations and Swell
ings of the Eyes" OF the birch tree
he says that the slender twigs of it
were formerly used for the Magis-
trate's Verge; now they serve to
discipline Boys, and to tame Wild
Horses, and to make Brooms, and
to catch Birds with Bird Lime, and
Bands for Faggots. In the Spring
they yield sweet and potulent juice.
which Sheppards drink when
thirsty" This juice also cures warts,
and was used by our ancestresses,
perhaps, to ''beautifie" their faces.

DOES THIS DOG THINK?
He Does Some Re narkably Intelli-
gent Feats.

A series of experiments have late
ly been made with a dog in this city
which bear out the idea that animals
have a certain perceptive faculty not
ordinarily accredited to them.
The dog in question is owned by
The proprietor OF liquor saloon, NJ.
O'Dowd, of New York city, and has
never had any training to develop
its faculties. He spends most of his
time around the saloon, and has be-
come famous as a detecter of counter
felt money. The dog will carry a
genuine bill or coin given to Kim in
payment for drinks to the cashier,
but will Immediately drop one which
is spurious and cannot be induced to
take it to the desk. He can dis
criminate between a confederate bill
and the regular greenback, or be-
tween counterfeit and genuine coin
of any denomination. The theory
has been advanced that the dogs re-
markable power lies in the hneness
of his taste, but this does not seem
20 be the correct solution, Judging
from other experiments.
The dog serves a very useful pur-
pose to the proprietor of the saloon
in addition to his detective qualities
regarding coin or paper money.
II an individual enters the saloon and
falls to pay his score, the proprietor
simply points to him, and suggests
to the dog that he be attended to.
The dog goes around the bar and
seizes the man by his collar, making
him quickly vacate the premises.
AS the individual has to be picked
out from crowd, this extraordinary
ability would seem to be due to the
fact that the dog receives the mental
impressions of his master and acts
upon them.
Mr.. O'Dowd was requested by his
wife to take daily newspaper home
with him each evening. The dog
was in the habit of carrying the pa
per, and on occasions when it was
forgotten by Mr.. O'Dowd the animal
would seize paper from the news
stand and take it home. In order to
test the dogs faculties Mr. O'Dowd
on several occasions folded up an old
paper, but the dog, according to his
owner, promptly dropped it ard in-
sisted upon getting a paper Of the
current date.
So far as knowledge of right and
] wrong is concerned Jack is an ex-
cellent monitor. He has a peculiar
habit of arresting persons who are
not acting as he thinks in q regular
manner.
/ Pedestrians who attempt to cross
the street diagonally at Ninth
avenue and Fourteenth street,
which constitutes Jacks headquar-
tiers, are stopped by The dog and
compelled to cross BY the regular
! path.
A woman who keeps the news
stand at the northwest corner of
Ninth avenue and Fourteenth street
left her little girl in charge of the
stand one afternoon recently. The
little one fell asleep at the stand and
Jack, finding her there, laid his head
down on the child, placed his paws
around her and remained in that
position until her mother came back.
