WATKINS.

An elaborate study of "The new Ad-
mnistration at Washington by Albert
Shaw, appears in the April Reuieoo of Re
rieus. DR.. Shaw draws an interesting
comparison between the American and
British administrative systems, point
ing out the distinction between "nlinis-
try and cabinet" in both theory and
practice; he also treats quite fully Of Mr..
Mckinley's process of cabinet building,
its various difficulties and adjustments,
and outlines the noteworthy character
istics of the Presidents official family as
finally selected, both individually and in
ensemble. The article further defines ''the
larger executive group at Washington"
the various assistant secretaryships,
and important bureau headships, and so
far as possible the reader is informed as
to the personnel and status of these inn
pOrtant offices for the coming four years.
Altogether, DR.. Shaw has made in this
article an exceptionally useful contrbu-
ton to current history.

Peculiar characteristics of the Small
Boy.
An exchange, which has evidently
been a close student of nature as it is
to be found in the average boy, says:
A boy will tramp Al miles in one
day on rabbit hunt and be timber in
the evening, when, if you ask him to
go across the street to borrow two
inch auger, he will be as stiff as meat
block. OF course he will. And he will
60 swimming all day and stay in the
water three hours at time, aud dive,
and the next morning he will feel that
the unmeasured insult has been offered
him when he is told by his mother to
wash his face carefully, so as not to
leave the score of the ebb and flow so
plain to be seen on his 'gills. And he
will wander about the bed of Il dry
creek all the afternoon piling up a peb-
BILE fort and nearly die off when his big
sister wants him to pick up basket Of
chips for the paror stove. And he
will spend the biggest part OF day
trying to corner stray mule for ride,
but feels that life's charms have fled
when he comes to drive the COWS home.
And he'll turn a ten acre field up side
down for ten | inch angle worms, and
wish for the voiceless tomb when the
garden demands attention. But all
the same when you want a friend who
will stand by you, enlist one of the
boys.

The Shakers have made discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three -fourths of all
our sufferings arise from stomach troubles,
that the country is literally filled with
people who cannot eat and digest food
without subsequently suffering pain and
distress, and that many are starving. vast
ing to mere skeletons, because their food
does them no good, they have devoted
much study and thought to the subject,
and the result is this discovery of their
Digestive Cordial.

Cure for Hog Cholera.

The Lewiston Gazette says every
newspaper should occasionally keep be-
fore its readers that burnt corn is a
sure cure for hog cholera. The fact
was discovered by accident. The dis
tillerv of E. +. Locke, was burned, to-
gether with large quantity of corn,
which was so much damaged as to be
unfit for use. This was hauled out and
greedily eaten by the hogs, several Of
which were dying daily. After the
second day not a single hog was lost,
and the disease entirely disappeared.
The remedy has been tried in num-
Der of cases since, and never failed.
The best way to burn the corn is to
make pile Of it on the cob, etfectually
scorch it, and then give the hogs free
access to it.
While we are on the subject the fol-
lowing remedy which was furnished to
the Charlotte Observer by Eugene Hal
comb, OF Lumberton, is given:
Take pound arsenic, pound Cape
aloes, pound blue vitriol, l ounce
black autimony. Grind and mix well.
Directions: For a large hog, give
one teaspoonful day for three days;
then skip one day. Repeat this until
hog is cured.
