said Attorney Martin Stevens, when
passed farm house with a half dozen
boys playing about the yard. Outside
the gate were half dozen fat pigs
with tin cans tied to their stubby tails.
The cans were filled with rocks and
ratified like cowbells every time pig
moved. The porkers stood glazing at
each other while trying to make up
their minds whether to run and saueal
or stand still and grunt.
why do they put weights on the
pigs tails?" inquired young English
man, who was going up into Lake
county to learn ranching.
To keep 'em from runnin' all the
fat off themselves, explained the stage
driver.
$" Oh, ya-a-s; novel idea, by Jove,
exclaimed the Britisher.
Just then we passed couple of dogs
that were trying to gnaw the tin cans
off their tails.
But why do they put the weights
on the dogs tails?" asked the Britisher
who suspected the driver of lying.

HOW MOpsa WAS Cared for While Its
Owner Was Away.
We know what we ask our friends
to do for us, but we seldom know all
the deviations which are made from
the original instructions. In fash
ionable Chicago fiat a few months ago
the society dame who was going to the
seashore left her beloved poodle, Mop
sa, In charge of her nearest dearest
friend in the fiat, who was not going
away. Elaborate directions were con-
veyed as to what Mopsa was to be fed
and how often-when she was to be
bathed and combed-how carefully she
must be kept from roaming the streets,
and so on. The faithful friend seemed
devoted to the charge, and Mopsa's
mistress went away with a mind at
ease. On her return Mopsa was de-
livered in good health and spirits but
oh! frightfully gone off in her looks,
towzled and ragged--not at all the
aristocratic dog Of former days. One
day her mistress said:
Maria, can't stand it any longer
do tell me what you did to Mopsa while
| was was gone? She looks horrid.'
Julia, she was such nuisance, al
ways running out when the doors were
open, SO kept her in my old bird cage. y

TINS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
The Great Log Struck Rock an

The Great Log Struck Rock and
Bounded Over His Head.
eve were rolling logs down bluff
into the st. John river, below Grand
Falls" said lumberman in the Boston
Standard. 1.-The bluff was about forty
rods up from the river, steep and worn
pretty smooth by the log-rolling. A
log started over the brink would roll
with tremendous velocity down that
sharp descent. Toward the foot of the
hill there was slight ridge and now
and then log would strike it and go
bounding into the air and land we'll out
into the river.
1T was dry time that May and the
rolling logs made dusty work. The dust
was so thick sometimes that we almost
lost sight Of the logs before they
reached the bottom. If a log was
started right it generally followed a
pretty straight course down the bluff,
but once in awhile a crooked one went
Slowing or another would get advan-
tage of the rollers and start off end first
ana so roll on curve and generally
not reach the bottom, but get lodged.
Tim Field would then have to go down
and dislodge it.
Zone day crooked log slowed and
lodged Tim Field went down to
straighten it and send it on its course.
While he was engaged thus two men
came along with log. They stopped
at the brink and waited for Tim to get
out Of their way, balancing their log
with their 'peevies.'
Tim; oh, Tim, look out!
There was no time for the poor fell
low to jump aside and no human power
could save him from being crushed by
that huge descending log. We stood
| horror-stricken peering over the edge
| Of the bluff.
Downward rolled the log, cloud OF
dust arising in its wake. For dozen
rods it rolled, gaining velocity as 1t
descended, and then it suddenly
struck rock or some obstruction and
gave loud bound high over Tins
head and struck to the ground below
whence 1t rolled and tumbled to the
foot.
Tim was untouched.
Although we rolled thousands Of
logs down the same bluff, I never saw
a second one bound in the air like tina,
one. 1t seemed to us that the hand
Of Providence had interfered."

Some Of the Details of Most Interest

Ladies in China differ from coolies,
first in the amount of ornament they
display, and second in the material Of
which their clothing is furnished. says
harpers Magazine. The only occasions
for which lady dresses gayly are we'd
dings, birthdays and feasts or ceremo-
nicus visits. Ladies always wear silks
never anything more common-but
their best" are deliberately embr0id-
cred. The first outer garment is the
san-the single or unlined long coat,
hanging loose from the shoulder to the
knees, with no waist line. A lady has
other coats-lined, fur-lined and wad-
ded. Under her coat she wears white
coat, and under that smaller white
garment, the chin san.
Under everything goes the piece Of
CLOTH" plain, short apron Tapped over
at the back. Just such another thing
Is the skirt, which is worn outside and
reaches half foot below her outer coat.
This skirt is always black, except on
special occasions. At her wedding it
is red and at other special times it is
pink, blue, purple, violet or green, and
Is embroidered with gold or pretty silks.
She wears broad trousers to within half
an inch Of the ground. The bottoms Of
the legs are elegantly bordered with
embroidery.
Ladies wear socks with the seam up
the front and beautifully embroidered
silk shoes. In winter wadded silk

but at other times hers is round, fiat

the coolies, they dress In the same way,
but their clothes are made of cotton.

Il have been having a good deal of
trouble lately with the birds on my
goose ranch" said Col Stitt-Floyd of
Wharton, Tex, to a Washington Star
reporter.
Il had an order for 1000 dozen goose
eggs, and my troubles all arose in try
ing to fill that order. 1t is the first
time | ever attempted to market any
eggs, always heretofore relying on the
sale of feathers and live birds for my
profit.
This is the laying and Matching sea-
son with us and thought would have
no trouble to get eggs enough to fill the
order. Now, a hen, you know, will let
you rob her nest right along, just so
you leave one egg. 1t is supposed that
hen has no idea whatever of numbers.
Blu, this is not true of Madam Goose, as
found out to my sorrow.
The first two or three days we Sc
cured a big batch of fresh eggs, but after
that the find began to dwindle down so
fast that l determined to make per-
sonal investigation. | went down to
the river bottom next day and found
that instead of being off attending to
business all the geese which were not
sitting had 'flocked' and were rowing
about feeding, just as if they never ex-
pected to lay another egg. When l APP
preached them, instead of running
away they all sat down and began to
! hiss at me-
1T was clear case of strike and
was at loss to know how to settle the
trouble tried putting half Dozen
porcelain eggs in each nest, but it would
not work. The geese came up, eyed
them solemnly and walked off. Then
iii despair, told the boys to put The
1 eggs we had gathered back and see if Il
would break the strike.
We'll, sir, inside of two hours after
the eggs were returned every goose was
back on her nest, and for the next foul
or five days there were more eggs lait
on the Floyd ranch than there had beer
before in years, but l dare not under
take to fill the egg order"

Opening a sluice Gate

Relieves a dam of 5uperabundanoe of
water. The bowels are kind of sluice
gate of the system, and serve to carry off
opportunities which would otherwise flood
and damage it, Constipation obstructs
this avenue of escape. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters opens it and relieves the system.
This it does gently and gradually, but
completely, and does not, like violent
purgative, grippe, conyulse and drench the
bowels, and leave them weak and unfit
for efficient service afterwards. On the
contrary, it invigorates and regulates at
the same time that it relieves them. 1t
also strengthens and imparts activity to
the stomach, liver and kidneys, counter
acts tendency to rheumatism and in
vigorates the nervous system. For the
relief and prevention of chills and fever,
