BUILT THE WRONG WAY.
Why the Quaker's Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia.

Why the Quaker's Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia.
Il never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair / ever
attended III Georgia. said a retired
Cincinnati meat packer. ''It was at
Macon. and l think they called il a state
fair. At any rate il was big thing for
the town in those days. They had sCme
fine stock on exhibition, and "A PeEn>yl-
vanian had sent down about 20 Cf the
finest looking hogs yOu ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites. ana il /
recollect Alright they were exhibited by
Thomas Wood, a great hog and cattle
fancier Of 20 and 80 years ago. He it
was who introduced that famous breed
of hogs, the Chester White, and he
made a great deal of money out Of his
fancy stock. He was a Friend-a Qua
ker, you know-who used the plain Ian
guage and wore a broad brimmed hat.
He was SMART old gentleman. honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair. and they took -
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like boy who had spent all
his money making Il collection Of badges.
when tue Macon judges madc their
awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally To the razor backs. but not one Of
the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got n
prize. The owner Of the exhibit did not
understand it, SO lie hunted up one Of
the judges and said in the language Of
the Friends:
'' 1 know thee to be an honest man,
and / do not question thy fairness in the
award, but to crafty my own curiosity
| would be glad to have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes to the ma
tive stock and what fault thee found in
mines
My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly, the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome. and !
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed 10 raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are e.
short legged and fat that a nigger could
catch them in two minutes. What we
require in a hog in the south is legs and
wind. We give our prizes for speed. {"

A Powerful Burning Glass.

The most powerful sunglass ever con-
structed in France was that made un-
der the supervision Of the savant NJ.
de Villette. This glass generated heat
sufficient TO melt copper coin of the
size of our silver 25 cent piece in ~
seconds.
George Parker Of Fleet street, Lon
don, made a glass much more powerful
than that which resulted from the
Frenchman S efforts. Parker was three
feet in diameter and so powerful that IL
was actually used &c melt substances
which were too refractory for the fur
naces. The best authorities on heat say
that 1t had a power Of l66. .362 degrees

Excellent Work Done by the M. E.
 Church at That Place
 The Elmira, N. r., Evening Star, in a dispatch from Wellsburg, says of a former New Haven pastor: At the re- cent session of the Central New York conference held at Towanda, Pa, Bishop Newman did very graceful act in reappointing Rev. Rufus T. Cooper as pastor of the M. D. church at this place. The members and friends of the church gave Brother Cooper and l family a whole-hearted reception last evening in the parlors of the church. A | bountiful supper was served to a large company of friends. The new presid- | ing elder of the district, E. M Mills, D. D., and Mrs. Mills, graced the occasion with their presence. Dr. Mills made very felicitous speech, congratulating the people of Wellsburg over the return of their popular pastor A clipping | from the report of the Elmira district made at the recent session of the con- ference regarding Pastor Cooper's years work at Wellsburg read as fol- lows
 "At Wellsburg the pastor has been phenomenally successful, though with great odds against him in lack of means in the charge, but few members and much Encouragement.
 He has grappled with the power of a giant with the difficulties in the case and has succeeded in winning a most signal victory. The new and beautiful parsonage commenced last year has been brought to completion and ele- gantly furnished together with all the modern conveniences and decorations. To accomplish this great work Brother Cooper has toiled unremittngly, has I spared no pains, have proven himself a master in finance and has succeeded.
 The church edifice has been painted, decorated, the windows reconstructed, | chandeliers new, the yard graded, and | Wellsburg church stands to-day upon her feet ready for future active service, a pleasant appointment for any man. l Fifty persons have been converted and the conference collections are at high water mark"
 The present conference year bids fair to eclipse the record of last year, as both pastor and people are full of hope and are working zealously together
