DRUNKEN PIGS.

Since the Hope Farm COW had that
case Of "sun-stroke," We have had n
number of reports OF animals that got
under the Influence. Here Is reported
case from Kentucky, which We find in
the Rural World:
several weeks ago, drove OF hogs
was turned In on trough OF fermented
beer, which il Bourbon whiskey In IL
tirst stage The porkers took 70 this new
diet greedily, snd the entire lot OF hogs
were absolutely intoxicated for about
three weeks until the swill gave out
They would gulp down the beer until
they could hold no more, stagger on
drop down anywhere in stupor, sleep
il of, and 60 and repeat the dose. The
sight Of from 30 70 80 intoxicated hogs

and some rolling down the hill into the
distillery branch, from which they had

4 novel one. and attracted the attention
of many neighbors. When the beer gave
out, they would neither eat anything else
nor be comforted, and It was absolutely
pitiful to see and hear them squesline
around the troughs."

THE WILD TURKEY.

until after America wns discovered, IL was
thought tn lie n native Of Turkey for
hundred or two years subsequent, proba-
bly, from its name, though ~ the name
cock OF India" was also applied, and like
wise "Guinea henne, " there were many hot
discussions as to It's origin, many bel!ev-
ing IL came from Hindustan, while others
considered Africa 10 be It's original home
beyond the shadow Of a doubt.
When the claims OF Turkey and India
and the q uinea coast werc Investigated,
however. all fell to the ground, those OF
India collapsing first from the curious fact
that the Hintoo name Of the bird Is
"peru," pronounced exactly a. the South
American country whose spelling Is the
same. From this IL would seem that the
first turkeys to reach the old world might
have been taken thither from South
America, reaching Europe via India, Tur-
key and Egypt, though this Ii only con.
jccture based on what might b termed
the evidence of nomenclature.
As to the naming Of the bird, wild tur-
key hunters say IL could by no means have
been derived from the land Of the sultan,
but that 1t Is clearly an imitation OF the
wild birds v.,ll OF turk, turk, turk y
Persons familiar with the wild turkeys
flavor declare it much better than that Of
the farm grown bird and say the supcri-
ority IL due to the pungent berries, spicy
nuts and aromatic seeds which form the
diet of the former, yet the fact remains
that the prices realized by certain stand
ard turkey breeders are generally higher
than can be obtained for the choicest wood
bred birds. Asa matter Of frozen truth,
however, n fat turkey IL mighty good eat

thousands Of turkey gormands In the

the fact of removal without intention.
Eiehth-A person loses his residence
here by going into another state and there
voting. Suppose case for illustration
Two carpenters, brothers, John and
William, lived at Mossback in Oregon (;
on October 81, 1897, they came together
to Boomtown, this state, leaving their
families in Oregon; they work year at
their trade, taking meals at a restaurant
and renting a room in which to sleep; at
the election in November, 1898, is their
proper place of voting at Mossback or
Boomtown? John answering the chal-
lenge, says: "My wife doesn't like Ore
gon my health isn't good there; l came
here to Boomtown intending to make my
home, and shall send for my family as
soon as can arrange" He is no doubt
legal voter, presuming he speaks truly.
"Willam says: "My wife hates to leave
her people; l shall stay here awhile, but
have not fully decided to make a perma-
nent change" He is not voter Of
Boomtown, but is still a resident OF
Mossback. The law presumes that the
residence of person remains unchanged
until he has formed a definite intention
to change, coupled with change in ac-
tual fact. 1t may happen that person
abancons one residence and does no. &C.
qure another in time for election, so that
he may lose the right to vote at either
place.

the high seas"
1t is often difficult to determine who
are residents, as the term is not specific
ally defined by our statute.
BalIinger's Code Of the state, section
1901, says, after the preliminary oath to
the voter challenged "The inspector or
one of the judges shall then proceed to
question the person challenged in rela-
ton to his name, his then place Of resi-.
dence, how long he has resided in the
precinct and county, where his last pla &c
of residence was, also his citizenship,
etc."
Sec. 1456 on registration Of voters re-
quires the person desiring to register to
swear that he las been an actual perma-
nent resident OF the state of Washington
for eleyen months and ten days last past,
of the county for seventy days last past,
and Of the precinct ten days last past"
etc. Registration closes ten days prior
to election.)
Courts in constituting election laws have
often applied the following rules in de-
termining residence, and many states
have adopted them by statute. They can
safely be applied to this state as good la " {:
First-That places shall be considered
and held TO be the residence of person
in which his habitation is fixed without
any present intention of removing there
from, and to which, whenever he is alb
sent, he has the intention of returning.
Second-A person shall not be consid-
cred to have lost his residence who shall
leave his home and go into another state
or territory, or county OF this state for
temporary purposes merely, with an in
tention OF returning.
Third-A person shall not be consid-
cred to have gained a residence in any
county into which he shall have come for
temporary purposes merely, without the
intention of making that county his
home. but " it'll the intention of leaving
the same when he shall have accomp-
lished the business that brought him
into it.
Fourth-If person remove to another
state with an intention to make it his
permanent residence, or with the inten-
ton to remain there an indefinite time
and as place of present residence,
he shall be considered to have lost
his residence in this state, notwithstand-
ing he may entertain an intention of re-
turning at some future period.
Fifth--The place where married
mans family -esides shall generally be
considered his residence, but il it is a
place OF temporary establishment for his
family or for transient objects, it shall be

Sixth-If married man has his fam

in another, the former is considered his
