Smallest state in the World.

A correspondent Of The Standard
writes:
until the other day, was always
of opinion that the miniature republic
OF Moresuet-which is, perhaps, not
altogether 80 little known as your
Paris correspondent seems to think
was the tiniest state in the world. IL
would seem, however, that Moresnet,
with its /, 200 inhabitants, is almost a
giant as compared with the Lilliputian
republic to be mentioned. read in
The Tablet:
DO you suppose that Monaco, or
the republic Of Andorra, or even that
OF San Marine is the smallest state
in the world? If 80, you will be
surprised to hear-as we are that
a little island of the northeast cost
of Sardinia, not far from the Bay of
Terranova, and Tavolara by name, en-
joys that proud distinction. It is
some three miles long, by about 3, 1870
feet in breadth, with a population
fifty-fve souls. From 1886 to 1886
Tavolara was tiny monarchy, but
upon tho death of Paolo l., (and
last, and by express desire of that
poteutate, it become republican in
government, with a president elected
for six years, with the women voting
as well as the men. Italy, we are told,
recognized the microscopic republic

The new ram Katahdin, Of the
United States navy, is SO shaped that
her deck in front curves down to the
water line, and as she rushes ahead a
huge wave is raised over her bow. It
has been suggested that this wave
would be a means of protection to the
ship from an enemy firing at her as
she approached. She lies very low
in the water, and with the liquid wall
at her bow is practically behind a
kind Of fertilization.

held in the highest esteem, and the
older the widow grows the more agree

WILD HOGS
Fierce and Aggressive Animals in
Louisiana Clnobrakes.
They Arc Captured With the Aid
Trained Dogs.

To Louisiana the hunting Of Wild
hogs Is not Is exciting rs the boar
hunts Of tho Black forest OF Germany.
in the latter country the sport is
attended with considerable danger to
the sportsman; 10 Louisiana oil the
hunter need do is to cit on the fence
and watch the dogs rs they attend 10
the business. 10 Catalonia county
is a peculiar breed of CANNES know as
the hog dog. Their ancestors herded
aud hunted wild hogs many years ago,
aud 80 strongly has the instinct been
developed that the present strain
needs no training Whatever. They
take as naturally 10 rounding up
wild hogs as a spaniel TO water.
The wild hog Of the Louisiana cane
brake is an animal to be Stunned by
every one not clad in steel armor. He
Is as fierce as a mountain lion aud alb
solutely tireless in a fight; very ag-
gressiye, aud needs only a hint to
arouse his fighting temper. Louisiana
hunters treat the wild hog with great
respect until he is securely trapped.
Then they shoot and eat him. In the
thick woods of Catalonia county are
large herds Of these wild razor-back
hogs To hunt them afoot, even when
armed with a rifle, is an unpleasantly
dangerous sport A good marksman
might easily kill one wild hog, but if
charged by drove the top Of the
nearest tree would be the safest re-
treat for him. At the same time, the
flesh Of the wild hog is very good-if
there is no wild turkey-and so this is
the way the shrewd Louisiana planters
secure their quarry.
The trained hog dog at q signal of
his master, goes scurrying off in the
woods much as a sheep dog goes after
a flock Of lambs The dog beats about,
barking and yelping furiously. Wild
hogs object to the society of dogs, and
so before long a herd OF wild hogs is
rounded up prepared to argue the
question. The dog, still barking
loudly, pretends to rush furiously at
the hogs. He is trained to do that.
When a few yards away he turns and
retreats. The hogs accept the chal-
lenge and give chase. On the out.
skirts OF the woods large pen is
built, with one gate. II the dog is a
good one-and all hog dogs arc
said by Louisiana hunters to be
good-he has no trouble in
leading Che Infatuated razor-backt
directly to this corral. The dog
dashes into the corral, the wild hogs,
blind with rage and anger, following
closely behind Once within the oars
the dog jumps over the high fence
while the hunter, who has been sitting
patiently all the time on the fence
jumps down, shuts the gate and tn,
wild hogs are prisoners. They canno
jump the fence, which is the only re
straint that battles an agile razor
back.
Wild hogs are very dangerous whel
wounded. Instances of rash hunter
being killed by herd have not beef
infrequent. The hogs have very ,lonl
fangs, which they use as fercely a
the incisors of tiger. 1t is said tina
wild hogs will eat human flesh witt
great relish and once they have taste,
it their appetite for it is as insatiabl
as a maneating tiger.

Emerald Mining in the United States.

Emerald mining in the United States
is of recent development; at Stony
Point in Alexander county, North
Carolina, in 1880, beautiful light col
ored specimens were found, but not
in profitable quantities or of good
quality. They occur in red grayelly
clay, and in the gneissoid rock of the
Blue Ridge; the former a decompo-
sition Of the latter. As crystals they
are magnificent, but they have little
gem value. All those obtained by tho
Emerald and Hiddenite Mining Com
pany, in dozen years of working at
these mines, have not exceeded $15,-
900 in value. Some fifty miles west
of Stony Point, in Mitchell county,
new locllity was discovered in 1894,
but none of the material afforded gems.
