4 CONVENIENT HOG TROUGH.

One of the most unpleasant features
of hog-raising is the unpleasant opera
ton of giving these animals their food.
They arc in the trough, on top of it,
and always under the food when it is
turned in to them-that is when the
ordinary trough and spout are used.
The illustration, however, shows On
arrangement whereby the feeder can
place the food in the trough unmolest.

Look carefully at these and you will
perceive that the upper half of the
characters are very little smaller than
the lower halves, so little that an
ordinary eye declares them to be of
equal size. Now turn the paper up

you will see that this difference in
size is very much exaggerated; that
the real top half of the letter is very
much smaller than the bottom half

BUTTONS AND BUCKLES.

Fancy buckles and buttons form a

IS what way the argument is ap piled; no matter how the subject is twisted, the goldite is sure to get the worst of the argument. There are many ways of putin g the fifty cent dollar argument, and the following from the Seattle Times is worthy of consideration: This story is going the rounds of the papers: A man had $20O in gold and $200 in silver, and he put them for saie keeping in his barn The barn burned down and the coins were melted. He took tiIe metal to the siiversmi,h and for the gold lump he received $20,. ard for the silver lump only $l03. Therefore he became . gold standard man. We'll, we would suppose that a man who kept his money in his barn might be convinced by such 6 demonstration; but if be had known enough to ask the silver smith for an exIlanstion he would have been told that the gold was worth S2O0 becanse 1t could be taken to the mint and be recoined into ten S20 pieces, while the silver could not be reconverted into coin. He would also have been told that if the nints were eoining silver for any ono who brought it in that his lump of silver would be would be worth as much as his lump of gold, while if the mints were coining silver only his lump of gold would b worth only vhaa ia vas usssh a assaDoaisy.

He wac very anr- ious about the safety of tine men and repeatedly warned them to be exceed ingly careful.
 Last night he had a terrible dream, in which he felt ths staging give way and plunge to the ground. the dream making the staging fall much farther than i, could in reality. He fei. him. self going down and down, and believed . companion was going with him. He reached out to cave himself, and, mak- ing jump, fell ou. of bed on the floor. People in other rooms of the house where he boarded rushed in and f,und him p.ralized through one side. He had been in excellent health previ- ously. He did not rally from the attack. but died today. He leaves a fs mily in Newport.
