biggest of All HO.s.

A hog of wonderful dimensions has
turned up in Montivello, Texas. 1t
is almost the size of an OK, but its
powers of consumption almost equal
those Of an elephant.
The hog originally sold for $3.50,
but to day the owner scorns an offer
of SIS, 900 for it. Museum managers
all over the country have offered to
purchase it, but the owner is waiting
until it shall have reached its limit OF
height, when be thinks its value will
be doubled.
The hog weighs 1430 pounds, is
eight feet three inches in length and
foar feet one inch high. 1t measures
eight feet around its body. Its feet
are of the size of an ordinary OK.
1t eats from forty to fifty ears OF
corn every day. The pen in which
the pig is kept is always surrounded
by crowd, many people watching the
phenomenon for hours.
The animal is the pride OF the
peighborhood, AMI the first story u
stranger hears on entering the town is
the story of this champion hog. Wis.
itors invariably tell of the pig after
leaving the village, and its fame has
travelled far aul wide. Experts on
cattle say that the animal can be made
to attain n weight of 2200 pounds.
So fearful is the owner that some
thing will happen to the pig that he
has taken out an insurance policy on
its life. He has also insured it for
$4,000 against loss by fire.

A Dog that Understands Music.

1 have been surprised that trainers
of animals pay so much attention to
mere tricks and none to what might be
termed accomplishments, says a
writer. Almost all animals are Judges
of music and susceptible to its infiu-
ences; horses dance to it, snakes are
charmed by it. 1t is even said that a
lion can be soothed with it so as to
render the king of beasts harmless.
know dogs not only enjoy music, but
are sometimes good Judges as to its
quality, and l believe they could be
taught by competent trainers to play
correctly on musical instruments. |
have one that was partially trained
that way. He is very fond of the mu-
sic of q violin; he does not attempt to
follow tune, but keeps time on quick
pieces with short barks, while when
pieces in minor chords are played he
draws long, plainslve breaths. III
introduce a false note, which 1 some
times do on purpose, he will howl, and
three or four such errors will make
him leave on run. He can detect a
false note even more quickly than I
can.

can be spun into yarn or woven into
woolen goods. 1t can be bleached to a
snowy whiteness and dyed any color

Protection for Safes.

While there may be some plausible
pretext for setting traps for mischiev-
Gus persons and animals, there can bo
but little urged in favor of this prac-
tice when any number Of individuals
have access to the place IN which the
traps are placed. An inventor has
brought out device by means OF
VIII ch, when safe door is opened, a
hammer falls, and n glass vessel con.
tanning poisonous chemicals is broken.
The fumes OF the drug either stupely
or kill the burglar. This is all very
well, if no one but the burglar ever
went there, but should some interest,
ed person attempt to open the safe, he
might forget that tho trap was placed,
and be sulfocated by the vapor Of the
chemicals. Such devices involve too
much risk to the innocent ever tu be-

WISE WORDS,

Money is the pick-lock that never
fails.
The busiest tongues utter the most
idle words.
Some men know a great many things
that aren't worth knowing
The true secret of success in life is
to know what you can't do well.
Scatter sound literature, and the
harvest will come in due season.
The trouble market is easy, and it
can always be borrowed at low rates.
Hush money usually talks for both
parties interested in the transaction.
The more you praise man who
don't deserve it the more you abuse
him.
A weak constitution can be
strengthened, but weak set OF brains
can't.
Everybody in this world wants
watching, but none more than our
selves.
One OF the hardest things in the
world is for man who is stuck up to
get down.
The top round OF the ladder is an
imaginary one; nobody has ever
reached it yet.
A wise man is never confounded by
what he doesn't understand, but
TOOL generally is.
1t is not always necessary to tell the
whole truth, but all that you tell
should be the truth.
Much learning shows how little
mortals know; much wealth, how
little worldlings enioy.-The South
West,
