A Wonderful Sign!

A writer says, in regard to the Prus-
STA of fifty years ago, that it had a
state lottery, and in every town, large
or small, vas a collector, appointed to
sell the tickets. One day a servant
girl came to the collector in Hagen,
and asked if she could buy No. %. He
did not have it in his possession, but
as the girl seemed very much in earn
est and refused to be put off with any
other number, he tried to obtain it
from some Of the other collectors in
town, and finally succeeded. The draw
ing took place, and Hagen rose to a
state of feverish excitement when it
was known that this girl had become
a winner of a large sun of money. She
found herself, for a time. the chief OBJ
ject of interest in the town. She was,
of course, asked how she came to fix
upon No. 80. T%hereupon she gave this
simple and lucid explanation: II
dreamed one night No. z, and a second
night I dreamed No. 2. and a third
night again. So I thought, Three
times seven makes twenty-three.' and
I bought that number"

A Russian Telephone.

According to L'Electricien, of Par
is, a Russian scientist has invented a
telephone far superior to anything
hitherto used. With it a man may
talk to more than one Of his friends
at a time. provided they arc all in the
same room, for it is not necessary to
stand near the receiver in order to
hear the sound. The voice issues from
a metallic funnel, and may be heard
at some distance. The new telephone
has other advantages. Sounds trans
mitted through it lose very little of
their intensity by reason Of distance.
In experiments made between Moscow
and Rostof, a distance Of eight hun
dred and seventy miles. speech, songs
and music could be clearly heard. A
large number Of official people were
present at the experiments. and the
Official report was full Of praise Of the
new telephone.

A Hog Cholera Outbreak recent
outbreak of hog cholera near the Twin
Cities, when there were no diseased
nerds known to be within a hundred
miles or more, may prove a valuable
lesson If properly understood and util-
lied. The outbreak referred to was in
a herd that was in fine condition; it
was housed, fed and cared for in every
way in a first-class manner, and the
health of the animals was excellent. In
a manner that we have not space to de-
tall 1t was learned that the disease
was communicated to the herd by a
mar Who came to the place from a dis
tant infected district, who had been
among diseased hogs and without
change of clothes or other precautions
went among this healthy herd and left
the germs Of disease there that will
probably destroy it. There is no ques-
ton about real hog cholera being in
fictitious, and that it may be easily and
unsuspectingly transmitted, as in this
case. The moral of this is: Allow no
stranger to visit the pens of healthy
hogs; or still better, do not let him
come on the place unless he can give
ample assurance that he could not by
any possibility have been in contact
with cholera hogs. Hogs must be pro-
tected from this c%ontagion as the men,
bers of the family would be protected
from smallpox. Up to date this is all
that can be done to stay the dread
plague, and therefore every possible
precaution against its spread should be
taken.-Farm. Stock and Home.
