THE ELEPHANT. IN "a BOG.

81 gTs,rg - b
The sagacity Of elephants when bog
ged in swamps is truly admirable. The
cylindrical form of the elephants leg -
which is nearly of equal thickness y
causes the animal to- sink very deep in
heavy ground, especially in the muddy
banks of small rivers. When thus sit
uated the animal will endeavor to lie
on one side, so as to avoid sinking
deeper; and, for this purpose, will avail
himself of every means to obtain relief.
In order that he may extricate him
self, he is literally supplied with straw,
boughs, grass, ETC.; these materials he
forces down with his trunk, till they
are lodged under his forefeet in suffi-
cient quantity to resist his pressure.

Cleanliness in Swine Raising
Whoever would raise hogs without
disease (and this is necessary to OBJ
tain the highest profit must get rid of
the notion that the hog is naturally a
filthy animal; that filth is less dis
tasteful and unhealthful to him than
to the steer or horse, and that. it is
impossible because Of the nature Of
the animal to surround the hog with
sanitary conditions. Filth is a pro-
life source Of disease among all ami
mails; and because the hog is brought
into contact with the most filth. there
is the most disease among swine. Filth
opposes the health and thrift of swine
just as 1t opposes the health Of horses
or man. The first step in growing
hogs without diseases is to keep filth
away from them, to give them clean
food, clean drink, clean quarters, clean
shelters. Farmers Bulletin.

Farm News. Last year the writer saw
a good many specimens east Of the
Mississippi river, some of them along
the railroads of Ohio. Last fall good
many thistles went to seed and the
winter winds blew them hither and
yon all across the country. This
spring there are a good many places
where Russian thistles are springing
up miles away from the place where
the seed ripened last fall This is @es-
pecially true of the prairie sections of
Illinois, and it is safe to predict that
the battle with this pest is on. Every
man must use his best efforts to de-
stroy every specimen on his land, il
he would have any peace handling his
crops of grain. We have been watch
ing specimens grow along one of the
great railroads, and it is surprising
how rapidly they shoot up and how
thickly the land has become seeded
with them in some places. If one OF
these plants get start, it soon throws
out side branches and the shade kills
any other plant near the thistle, and
if the thistles are thick enough every
other kind Of vegetation disappears. "A

A New Trick by IN ola Hand.

The ruling passion of the cabman for
cheating his fare does not seem to be in
any way allayed by his substitution OF
the electric motor for the horse. IT is
related that gentleman in London
conceived the idea of taking long
ride into the suburbs in motor cab
The district to which he proposed to
journey was comparatively sparsely
populated, and an unlikely region in
which to meet with return passengers.
After the vehicle had proceeded short
distance, it slowed and stopped. "The
electric power" said the Jehu, "had
all gone" So the unsuspecting fare
alighted, and generously paying the ap-
parently disappointed cabby his shil-
ling. proceeded on his way. Looking
back he saw the cab merrily plying for
hire toward Oxford street again. Even
a horse cabman could not have lodged
the long fare better than that-Chi-

Cheat the Elevator.

when it sinks suddenly, gives many per-
sons an unpleasant. qualmish feeling.
The Sun says that into well-flled ele-
vator in big shopping store in New
York the other day stepped from one CT
the floors two women. "Do you know"
said one of them to the other, "that If
you hold your breath going down in an
elevator, you don't have that unpleas-
ant feeling; you don't feel it at ALL" OF
course nobody in the elevator listened
Intentionally, but nobody could help
hearing what she said. Conversation in
stantly ceased and everybody drew a
long breath. The elevator shot down
ward in silence. "Ground foor!" said
the elevator man as he threw back the
door, and the women streamed out from
the car upon the floor talking now gay
ly; and there was one at least who said
that the plan was effective.-N. Y. Sun.

views Of a Peace Commissioner.

The chief aversion to the vast
accessous Of territory with which We
are threatened springs from the fear
that ultimately they must be admit
ted into the Union as States. No
public duty is more urgent at this
moment than to resist from the very
outset the concession OF such pos
sibility. In no circumstances likely
to exist within century should
they DO admitted as State OF the
Union. The loose, disunited, and
unrelated federation OF states to
which this would inevitably lead,
embracing all climes, all religions,
all aces,-black, yellow, white, and
their mixtures,-all conditions, from
pagan ignorance and the verge OF
cannibalism to the best product OF
centuries of civilization, education,
and elf-government, all with equal
right in our Senate and representa-
ton according to population in our
House, with an equal voice in shap-
ing our national destinies-that
would, at least in this stage Of the
world, be humanitarianism run mad,
a degeneration and degradation of
the homogeneous continental re-
public of our pride too preposterous
for the contemplation of serious and
intelligent men. Quite as we'll might
Great Britain now invite the swarm
ing millions OF India to send raiahs
and members of Parliament, in pro-
portion to population, to swamp the
lords and commons and rule the
English people. If it had been sup
posed that even Hawaii, with its
overwhelming preponderance OF Ka-
nakas and Asiatlcs, would become a
State, she could not have been an
nexed. IL the territories we are con.
quering must become States, we
might better renounce them at once
and place them under the protec-
torate OF some humane and friendly
European power with less nonsense
in its blood.

Stolen Shoes.

A soldier left a pair OF shoes at
the bar OF certain saloon on Mon.
day night, while imbibing in a re-
freshing glass of bear. When ready
to leave the place, he could not find
the shoes, and accused the bar
keeper of "hooking" them in choice
and emphatic language. The bar
man who uses $6 shoes on his own
hoofs felt rather angry of being
accused OF stealing pair of $1.5O
boots and made a thorough investi-
CATION, eventually calling the atten-
ton of the police authorities to the
matter. 1t now appears that the
shoes were appropriated by police
officer on duty, who visited the
saloon, and yesterday afternoon the
property was returned to the bar
keeper, by the authorities. He is
now anxious to hand the shoes over
to the soldier who owns them, if he
can find him.
