LIKE A DOGS BARK.
Peculiar Af1iction to a Little
Brooklyn Lad.
BY SOME HE IS CONSIDERED An IDIOT.
bellevue Hospital Physicians, However,
Think This Diagnosis of His Case In
accurate, and WIN Use All Their
Efforts to Cure the Lad.

NEW YORK, Oct 2-The physicians
Of Bellevue hospital are very much in
terested in a peculiar case that was
turned over to them by the STAFF Of the
Hudson street hospital.
Scientifically considered, the case has
a number of novel features, and the
physicians would not venture a diagno-
sis. although the Hudson street staff at
once, upon the reception of the case,
decided that it was one of idiocy.
The patient is Edward Coleman, aged
13 years, a bright. handsome lad, who
says that he lives at 60 Sumner avenue.
Brooklyn, and that he has a brother at
Sumner and Myrtle avenues of that
city. His parents, who were French,
are dead.
The boy turned up at the New York
entrance Of the Brooklyn bridge and at
tracted considerable attention by bark
ing like dog. He was sent TO the
Hudson street hospital by a bridge po-
liceman.
Later Surgeon Rodman took the lad
to Bellevue. While in the reception
room there he barked furiously. DR.
Dale of the insane pavilion examined
the boy. other physicians became in
They We're surprised that the boy
talked so intelligently. True, it took hin
at least five minutes before he could ar
ticulate properly, but when he die
speak there were no signs of mental de
rangement. The lad declared that h'
felt that trephining his skull would dC
him a world of good.
It seemed to him. he said, as If a por
ton of his skull was pressing agains
his brain. II took him almost an hou
to make this statement. and the physi
clans did not care to press him any fur
ther
They are amazed that a boy of hi
age should be able to so thoroughly un
derstand what is troubling him. Tech
nically the pressure Of the bone Of tn
skull on the brain is regarded as
cause Of idiocy but the physicians ar
loath to call a patient like young Cole
man an idiot.
He was placed in the insane pavilion
where he viii remain under observatio
for several days before any steps wi
be taken to operate on him.

RIPE HOGS.
Information Jerry Rusis Obtained
from a western Farmer.


Information Jerry RusIs Obtained
froxa western Farmer.
Gov. Rusk happened TO drive over the
state line once into Wisconsin looking
at the farms. He was particularly
struck with one farm, on which he
found everything in first-class order,
and riding up to the house inquired the
name of the owner, when a tall German
came out and gave his name as Theo-
dore Louis.
"What do you regard as the greatest
wealth-producing agency in agrieul-
trre?" the governor asked him.
"The hog" was the sententious re-
ply.
upon what do you base this state
ment?"
"He lifts more mortgages than any
thing else"
The conversation which cnsued de-
veloped the fact that Louis had once
been what is called an all-wheat farmer
and kept constantly sinking into debt.
He decided that something had to be
done quickly or there would be very
little left for Louis, so he decided totry
the hog. The first year he made a lit
tile money, the second year he made
more, and then he became thoroughly
interested. The result was that he
became recognized as great authority
on hogs. His neighbors took up his
example and mortgages began to be
lifted, until finally there was not one
on record against that community.
"How long would you keep hogg
as Gov. Rusk.
II would not keep him-1 would Kill
him"
'WhenP"
''When he is ripe"
"When is he ripe?"
"When he is fat"
"Wouldn't it pay to keep the hog fot
two or three yearsT
II tried that once" said Louis. Z"
took hog in the fall and weighed him
and 1 took my corn and weighed il
When spring came the corn was al
gone and the hog weighed about wha
he did in the fall. That made me sa.
next year that would kill my hogs Il
the fall and save my corn"
'IIow much does it cost to keep
hog through the winter?'
Three dollars"
'How many hogs winter in Mime
sota?"
"One million. I have just looked o
the auditors report"
do you mean TO say that we los
s3,ooO,0OO a year in wintering OF
hogs?"

Potato Crop Short

Not since 1892 has the potato crop
Of the United States proved 50 nearly
failure, says the American Agrieultu-
rist, in its finsl report Of the yield Of
1897. Compared with the liberal crop
of last year, there is an apparent fall
ing oil Of nearly 30 per cent in tom
mage, and the quality of the whole is
greatly deficient. County aud town
ship returns from ali the leading pota-
borrowing States show the yield
to be I7l,OO0, 900, against "a, 100000 in
1896, and 295, ,O00,0O in 1875. The av-
erage rate Of yield per acre is placed at
81 bushels, taking the country at large,
against s6 bushels in 1896, 50 in ls95,
and 81 in 1892.
The reasons for disaster to the potato
crop Of 1897 are about as varied as a
multiplicity Of cases could make them.
Standing out with more prOminenes
than any other two factors are blight
and rot, ~ a result OF extremes Of
weather conditions. Excessive rainfall
here and there, failure Of termination,
later serious drought, rust, scab, insects,
etc, have all been prominently ia evil
dsnee, though complaints Of this char
acter are less general than for the two
first named. While the yield in bash-
els Is small the quality IS almost def
cient- Such portions Of Canada as
make a specially Of potatoes, notably
Ontario aud the Maritime provinces,
show a general but serious shortage.

Do Not Tell the Truth.

No doubt the human race would con-
slider il little sort Of Q universal tragedy
if there were no looking glasses. Yet,
in spite Of their widespread use, il is an
astonishing fact that none Of us have
ever seen ourselves as others see Us. In
the first place, the reflection in the mir
ror does not portray our likeness with
ahy attempt at accuracy. The hair is
wrong in tone; the eyes are not correct
in color, and our compilations are hope
lessly libeled by this specious house
hold deceiver. 1t is certain that if the
looking glasses spoke the truth the sale
of various complexion washes would
decrease to half, for any fair skin looks
gray and pallid in the glass, and num-
bers Of women who have splendid COM
plexions ruin them by trying to inn
prove them because they look bad in
the mirror. You may be certain that
however plain your face seems, it is by
no means 50 plain as it appears in the
tell-tale mirror. Secondly, ylu cannot
assume your natural expression while
peering in the looking glass. The eye
must be- in a certain position before YOU
can see 1t all, and the eye, 50 fr as ex-
preston is concerned, governs the face.
The consequence IS that yon can see
only one Of your expressions in the
glass, and that expression il one of at
tcntive examination. All the other
expressions by which your friends
know you, favorable or unfavorable,
you have never seen, and never will

In the beams and CLEANS came the Christmas

And hand in hand to the Christmas land

They went away in a magic sleigh
That tinkled with silver bells,
over The white Of the snow. one night.
Where the King Of the Christmas dwells.
They saw him marshal his soldiers small,
In beautiful, bright brigades;
At the tap o the drum they saw them come
With guns aud glittering blades.
The little soldiers were made OF tin;
With painted coats OF nd,
And they drilled away. with their banners
gay,
BY a cute little captain led.
But alas !. for the King o the Christmas land,
And the march that his soldiers Inadei
For The dolls We're dressed in their very best
o the dolls were ON dress parade,
And they smiled so sweet at the soldiers
brave
Each beautiful, fairy doll.
They dropped their guns FOR the smile they
gave,
An ran away with them all
Bat-sdeh IS the wonder OF Christmas land
When in the morning light
The children woke from their Christina
dreams,
There stood the soldiers bright;
And the dolls were smiling their sweetest
smiles,
And they said: "From our land 50 true
The soldiers brought us a thousand miles
To the homes and hearts Of you."
