PROFITABLE HOG RAISING.
How to Select Pig at -Four to Eight

BEETHOVEN, April Y 1875
The first thing TO be examined is the
pedigree, for Notwithstanding the pig

age, yet if IL does not have the royal
blood TO back it up, there will be no
dependence in its after development.
Like begets like is a true law of nature

well as in the vegetable kingdom.
Therefore we want to select our pig il

of meritorious ancestors, and if it has
in its pedigree two or three
crosses Of the blood of such no
BILE hogs as old Bob Lee, bred
by Samuel Pryor, of Paris, Ky, or

hogs of superior merit, it will be all the

Such an edict would seem a very large
order at the present day, BUTT was by
no means a small one in Napoleon's
time. What would the Paris of to-day
be without its English colony? From
Sir Edmund Monsoon, our ambassador,
to the pale boy who files the English
journals in Meals library, in the Rue
Castigline, the English are very impor-
tant factors in Partisan life.
There has been an English colony in
the French capital for many centuries;

To speak broadly, Paris has within its
walled borders little London OF many

pitfalls and libraries, and all these to
such an extent that it is difficult to be-
lieve one is not in the British capital
itself.
The inhabitants of this colony might
roughly be catalogued as follows: Re-
tired people and gentlefolk who have
seen better days; those who desire TO
have their children educated in the Ian
guage, business people, authors, artists,
students, journalists and professional
men; those who have the best of private
reasons for living out of England, and
cranks, which term includes certain in
dividuals who for some cause or other
have developed feeling OF hatred for
the land of their birth. Nearly all are
exiles of their own accord.
On Sunday the elite of the English
colony turns out to the Church of the
Embassy in the Ru d. Aguesseau. Here

was formerly Leytonstone incumbent
has now preached, and here a collection
bag goes regularly round, and is as
regularly returned in a condition OF
comparative emptiness. For your Eng.
l;shman Of the English colony is either
in condition TO help largely support
the church and does, or else gives moth

This is illustrated by the reasoning that

laundry work is a smooth shirt front

Regarding Blankets.

Blankets are difficulty to many peo-

minds as to how often they should be

In many houses they are only washed

seem rather too rare proceeding. On
the other hand, it is really not neces-
sary to have them washed more than
twice year, but they must have proper
care in the interval in the shape of air.
