Instinct of a mind Pig.

Pennsylvania boasts of a wonderful
blind pig. II was born blind, and at the
tender age of three months was sold to
a neighboring farmer, who took it
home in his wagon. The road was not
only crooked, but was cut by several
crossroads, and it passed through a
village with a dozen cross-streets, the
entire distance being two miles beyond
the village The pig was turned into
small lot, and the third day afterward
the little blind fellow was back with his
former owner. There was mother way

COFFEE DESSERTS
They Are Not Only Delicious, But Very
Easily Prepared.

Coffee is the most delicious havoring
for summer desserts. The essence of
coffee, which is used, is easily pre-
pared, but should always re fresh The
secret of fayoring with coffee lies in
having this essence so fresh and pure
that it has the delicious aroma of a
cup of good coffee. Take tablespoon
full of the best coffee, freshly ground,
and put it in small saucepan with
a cup of cold water. Let the fluid boil
until ii is reduced TO about two table
spoonfuls Strain it through a cloth,
pressing it well: let it cool. and it is
ready for use
A coffee mousse" is most delicious
the trouble in freezing which an ice
cream involves. This mousse is made
as follows: Put two cupfuls of sweet,
rich cream in a bowl. Fill a pan with
chopped ice, place the bowl in the pan,
and begin 10 beat the cream with fine
wire whip. Beat slowly at first, then
faster, until it is a fine, firm froth.
When it is all frothed, add two table
spoonfuls of powdered sugar and three
tabIespoonfuls Of coffee essence, and
beat them together well. Put the
mousse III a long, slender mold, and
cover it tightly, sealing the edge Of
the cover with mutton tallow, and
pack it away in pail covered with
cracked ice and rock salt. Three quarts
of salt are sufficient tor pailful Of ice
The mousse should be packed away
for about six hours. If the mold is
large in diameter, it may be opened
once and the frozen parts removed
from the sides with a knife. II the mold
is slender, it should be left andisturbed-

Every time Peter gave kick he
knocked pie or plate full of cakes
out of the window until he had il clear
of everything. Then we hove in sight;
and through the side of the show
window he saw us and recognized me
in the seat. and that settled it-no
bake shop would hold him then. He
jumped back in the store, braced him
self plump in front of the pane of glass
in the door, and when we were just
about opposite he gave one last howl,
and crashi out he came through glass
and all
Il heard the racket, and turned
my head just in time to see
him come flying out l under
stood it all in a moment, and expected
TO see him roll over dead in the gutter;
but not much! He came through so
quick he scarcely got a scratch and
away he went, down the street ahead
of us, barking at everyone, and clear
ing the way just as he used to, and run
ming around in a circle and jumping
high In the air and cutting up gymnas-
tics-and happy ?-well, / just guess
he was happy! Even the captain heard
him in all the racket behind the engine,
and let up on the whistle long enough
to holler ahead to me TO look out and
not run over him; but there was small
fear of that, for he beat us by half a
block all the way to the fire.
when we got there we stretched
in and stood fast as we call it, which
means we stretched in the hose, and
got ready TO go TO work when so or
dered; but they didn't need us, for the
fire was pretty well out then and the
third alarm had only been sent out as a
sort of precautions; so in few mo-
ments the chief ordered US back 10
quarters
when we were picking up or put
ting the hose back in the wagon, Peter
was around among us like old times,
and every one Of the gang had a kind
word for him. He was cut bit about
the back with glass, so the captain
says: Throw him in the wagon. boys,
and wei take him back to the house
and mend him up. III put him on pro-
bation and if he acts right he can
stay with rs as long as he wants. And
then he adds: But you fellows will
have 70 chip in and pay for that pane Of
glass And we all laughed; for we
were willing to pay for a whole show

NEW YoRk.s EIRs.poe.
Broke Through "A Bakers window 10
Run After His Engine.

St. Nicholas has been publishing
series of articles about the fire depart
ment OF New York, written by Charles
7. Hill. The artist. In a late issue Mr..
Hill tells about Peter Spots'-Fire-
man." a cog that belongs 70 one of the
engine companies. The dog once fell
into disgrace by playfully swapping at
the heads of the horses when they were
running to a fire and causing them TO
balk. So he was given 10 a baker who
lived far from the engine house. Mr..
Hill gives the following account, in the
language of one of the firemen, of the
manner in which Peter Spots" came
back to the company;
1--WE had almost forgotten about
Peter, and got used TO not having him
around, when one day a third alarm
came in that took US out; and in get
ting to the station had to drive
through the street the bakers place
was on. I never thought of it myself,
but on my word, Peter hadn't forgot
ten us; and when we made our appear
ance he showed up pretty quick The
baker told me all about it afterward,
and this was the way it happened:
Peter was lying asleep beside the stove
in the center of the bake shop, when all
of q sudden he pricked up one ear,
and then jumped to his feet and gave
q bark. The baker was making out
some bills behind the counter, and
thought nothing of it until the next
moment Peter gave e jump, and was
in the show window among the pies
and cakes and such like. The baker
hollered to him TO get out; but Peter
began to claw at the window and bark
and howl You see he could hear our
whistle and bell and had recognized US.
Then the baker made up his mind that
the dog had gone mad, and got fright
ened and got up on a chair, and began
to boiler himself; and what with the
baker and Peter, there was high old
time in that bake shop for awhile.

When your stomach begins to trou-
BILE you it needs help. The help it
needs is to digest your food and until
il gets it you won't have any peace.
Stomach trouble is very distressing,
very obstinate, very dangerous. Many
of the most dangerous diseases begin
with simple Indigestion. The reason
is that indigestion (not-digestion,
not-nourishmenD weakens the system
and allows disease-germs to attack it.
The antidote is Shaker Digestive Cor

to the rights of Cubans to be recognized
under constitutional law are all wrong,
and will not hold. The message is in

Representative Underwood, after hsar-
ing and then reading the message of
the president said: He has managed 10
evade the Cuban question in very
adroit manner
so far as can see, he gave nothing
new regarding this perplexing matter.
and certainly suggested nothing new.
Gas far as his recomme ndations ON the
currency question goes, they simply boil
ed down, mean the retirement of the
greenbacks.

suggests can be passed throdugh the
committee on banking and currency.
II feel certain That 1T could not pass

no Cuban resolution will ever be re-
ported from his committee. until the
president is ready to let loose the dogs

AS Gen. GrosveHor, the bearded
statistician, entered the members began
to applaud, and the galleries followed
suit. In spite of the fact that Gen. Gros-
venor is one of the most unpopular men
personally in the house, his appearance
is always the signal for noise McMillini
and Richardson entered almost simulta-
neously from different doors, and the
friends of both these rival candidates
gave them a hearty welcome. The tip
is given out that McMillin no longer in
