When MascsgnI Compo.es-

Mascagni's greatest passion and de- light is to conduct an orchestra, for which he himself says he has natural talent. But what is more interesting is to watch Mascagni composing his works. His wife, Signors Lima; Mimi (his eldest boy), Dino (another sonl and Emilia (his little daughter) all have their parts in it. When the maestro is fever ishly writing notes aud rushing to the piano to catch an inspiration, his wife follows him to and fro, while the chil- dren climb on his knees, he uncon- sciously running his fingers through their curls.
 A soon as he has fixed on a melody he gathers the children in his arms. and they all roll indiscriminately on the floor, the shouts, bumps, laughter, tears, making such an uproar that at last Signora Mascagni interferes, scolding her husband and telling him that a grave musician should give better ex- ample to bis family. She bundles away tao children. ard Ee returns 10 his desk, but a few minutes later the scene re psats itself. -Psll Mall Gazette.

AEoncino Apparently Badly Scared,

Montreal. Feb. S.-Senor Agoncillo has shut up like clam. Monday he spoke freely. Yesterday he would not talk about anything to outsiders except the Canadian constitution. The truth is that the array of secret service men, re-enforced by a local sleuth and his assistants. have terrified the Filipino representative into silence. The fate of Lieutenant Carranza, the Spanish sec retary of legation who was requested to leave Canada, has been brought to his notice. and he has realized that silence is the best policy. The impression here is that if the United States government desires to have Agoncillo leave Canada they have only to request Sir Wilfrid Laurier to have him go.

Washington. Feb. &. Instructions have been sent to Major General Otis directing him to communicate to the in- surgents the information that the trea- ty of Paris has been ratified by the senate and to continue his operations against them, so as to promptly crush their revolt against American sover- eighty. The cruiser Boston, which left Manila yesterday for Iloilo. ostensibly to relieve the Baltimore. carries with her instructions to Brigadier General Miller to at once occupy Iloilo. with or without consent of the natives there.

YACHTING.

With nearly all who are seeking q
place to spend the vacation time, or to
live for the summer season prime
requisite is suitable water for sailing.
There ure many desires and different
ideas on this subject as on fishing or
any other sport. For some racing alone
is attractive, for others long cruises
with frequent stopovers making good
harbors necessities, and then there are
great many who desire quiet water
and with whom safety is the first
thought. Long Island with its two
hundred and fifty miles of coast line
offers to every class of sailor his heart
felt desire. Yachtsmen have found the
sail around Long Island one of the most
attractive and varied courses known
Along the track of the big liners on the
Ocean or South Shore, or down the
Sound with it's numberless bays, beauti-
full harbors and safe anchorage; the
harbors surrounded as they are by
wooded hills, beautiful towns and pic
turesque villages, abrupt bluffs and
stretching beauties of the South Shore
give new pleasures each day. In the
Sound the early trials of all the famous
racers which have successfully defend
ed the cup against all corners for years
have been made. Many of the most ia
nous clubs have fine houses and every
possible comfort for the yachtsmen.
On the South Shore there is another at
traction in it's Great South Bay, Shinne-
cock Bay and the many connections
separated from the Ocean by Fire Is
land. While the water is constantly
changing, and the breezes meet little
obstruction, there are no heavy rollers
and white caps, and the factor of safety
is raised to very high point. The
fastest cat-boats are built in this sec
ton, and are known everywhere, and
many famous yachtsman of to-day
took his first lessons and gained his
skill and experience on these waters.
An unequaled advantage is the fact
that all points on the Island are in close
touch with Greater New York by fast
express trains and further by telegraph
and long distance telephone.

Food of the brood Mnre.

The mare with foal should have
plenty of nutritious food, but it should
not be the kind that promotes the ac-
emulation of fat. The foal is devel-
oped through the feed to the dam, and
for that development is needed the class
of feeding stuff that builds up its
frame. Aside from that it is not well
for the foal for the mare to have much
fat, as there is with such condition
often certain tendency to a feverish
state which would prevent the foal
from receiving healthy support. Let
the feed contain but little corn, con-
sisting mostly of oats, bran and good
roughage. Just before the time of foal-
ing the feed should have somewhat
laxative effect, and at the same time
should have the constituents that pro-
mote milk production.-TeXas Stock

CONVENIENT PIG HOUSE.
The Plan Here Illustrated Can BE
Adapted to Suit the Size md
Condition of Any Herd.

Concerning modern up-to-date hog
house costing 5000 or more, large
enough to accommodate 40 or so, would
say that in building pigpens, like every
thing else, the best is always cheapest.
The plan shown herewith needs but lit
tie explanation, as it can be construct
ed according to the means at the build
er's command and it can be made to
suit the size of ones herd. You could
easily construct a four-room feeding
house on this plan out of good dressed
lumber for less than 5000, especially
if you are able to do your own car
penter work. When as many as 40 or
so hogs are to be kept they always do
better if kept in different pens accord
ing to size and age. 1t is also neces-
sary that different aged animals be
fed a different ration for best and most
satisfactory results, and this can only
be done when we have our hogs prop
erly graded and separated. One thing
we would have in making hog house
and that is concrete floor. Any other
floor is Objectionable in some way. All
kinds of wooden floors make bad rat
harbors unless they are built up high
off the ground, and in most cases they
soon begin to decay and make pens UNI
healthy. BY letting the concrete extend
out to the walls all round no rats can do
any damage and you can scrape or
wash out your house as clean as a jug
at any time. The cost of a concrete
floor may be a little more than wood
to start with, but it is cheapest in the
end.
Let the sleeping rooms be made like
lean-to, roof sloping just one way
and facing the south if possible. In
these we would have no floor. They

EASE THE WORN NERVES.
A woman's Life Should Not he All
Rush and Hurry IL She Wants
TO he Truly Happy.

The word duty" in the mouth of the
ordinary woman is Synonymous with
discomfort. The secret of happiness
consists in looking upon what one must
do in this world as the pleasantest
thing life offers. 1t is only another
case of the point of view. The people
who stay young longest and who are
most attractive, whether young or old,
are those who do things that they ought
to do, not from sense of duty, but be-
cause it is a pleasure.
The woman who stays up at night to
nurse a sick friend or to finish dozen
shirts for the heather because duty
alone prompts her, while it is a weari-
ness of the flesh only sustained by the
concentrations of conscience, is doing
herself and the relative or the heather
wrong. She is dragging through task
which is repugnant to her, and she
shows in her face before many years
have passed lines indicative of unneces-
sary worry.
Contrast with the nervous, hurried
woman the wholesome, red-cheeked
rfatron who takes things easy" 1t is
not necessary to neglect home or hus-
band to do this, for she does quite as
much in her way as the woman who is
always rushed to DEATH" The one
who lives by conscience feels that she
must do by her neighbors as they do
by her, and consequently her friends
receive invitations to dine at her house
even when. they find the hostess in n
state bordering in nervous prostration.
She must return the hoSDitalitieS she
has received at any cost, and if her in
come is limited she will make up the
deficiency by overwork and overworry
Her friends know this, and it is a trial
for them to dine at her house. 1t is
absurd to say that one hasn't time to
take care of ones self or must not offer
poorer fare than one receives Chicago

MODEL PIG HOUSE.

can be moved about the yard from time
to time and thus keep a nice pure
place for pigs to sleep, every time it
is moved using clean bedding, or rather
moving every time clean bedding is
used. Water is best supplied out in
the lots instead of in the feed room,
as hogs will keep the feed room more
or less filthy if water is supplied there,
especially if they can get to it to wal
low. A small cistern or well is located
in storage room from which under
ground pipes may extend to the sew
eral lots. In making fences between
lots do not make them more than three
or four boards high, just so man can
straddle over them comfortably. This
you will find very convenient in look
ing after your hogs. The outside fence
may be higher if other stock have ac-
cess to pens and are likely to jump.
Two and half feet is high enough for
all inside fences. - Orange Judd

A COSTLY ERROR.
The Merchant Thought the Assessor
Was n Representative of
BradEtreet'a.

One of the lawyers says that a client of
his is the hero of this story, and that it
happened here within year or two. A
man from the assessors Office went into
the store of a Hebrew merchant in the
pursuit of his duties. The two had slight
acquaintance, so that the assistant asses
sor did not think it necessary to explain his
business. He was rather surprised when,
in answer to his questions, the storekeeper
proceeded to dilate on the value of his stock.
"De finest in any store of de size in de city.
1t issn't wort cent less than $1,000"
Suppose | put it down at that, then"
said the assessors man.
do it. Do it," said the proprietor. "Yer
Won't maig no mistake"
So the assessors man did it. There was
lamentation in the store when the tax bill
showed the proprietor that he was taxed
on $4,000 personal, and he rushed over to
the assessors Office with all possible speed.
"Vat les dis? Vat ISIS dis?" he asked
them, excitedS. II have no personal but de
stock in my store. I'm liar if it's vort'
$500 Come down and look it ofer."
They told him that the records showed
that he had given the figure to the as.
sistant assessor.
His hands went up over his head in hor.

shouted. "Vas dat your man? / thought
