National Live Stock Reporter: Buyers
in the country are strongly advised that
the market calls for heavy hogs TO COM
mand high prices. Although light hogs
sell well here for what they are worth,
a large proportion of the light weights
are selling 30 to 30 cents below the top
heavy hogs. therefore there is plenty Of
room to be careful. 1t is no time for light
trash, as quality is wanted in every in

1t is the prevailing impression. foo

his whole attention to caring Tor him

that this Il q fallacy, 20 TAR AZ 1t ap-

makeup or ways Of life. He tasted
simply because he wanted to reduce his
weight. fearing that Its gradual I'm
crease might bring on apoplexy. He
succeeded in his efforts. He weighed
21O pounds when he stopped eating;
when he resumed at the end Of twenty
eight days he tipped the scales at 18S
pounds, q loss Of forty-two pounds Of

A singular fact IN Mr.. Rathbun's Ell

Of hunger at all, and had no unpleasant
sensations Of any kind. He slept and
worked in the regular way, his mind
clear and his strength unabated to the

Ing the period, but took nothing else.
When he began to eat again he took
,nly a little food at first, Increasing
the amount gradually until within
few days he was back to his former

the theory that the average man eata

health or comfort, and that an occasion

system. This theory certainly has the
support of Mr. Rathbun's own prao

The tide of travel will set heavily In
toward Europe next spring. Paris and
the great French exposition will be the
objective point. Thousands of Ameri-
cans will then visit Europe for the first
time, while other thousands will simply
score another annual trip. More and
more Americans visit Europe each
year. They are attracted by those
nameless charms which age alone can
bring and which is a fascination Of the
elder civilization. But even before the
trip to Europe should come the trip to
America. We have in these United
States a vast and diversified country
which, politically. is working out the
highest conception Of popular govern
ment the world has yet attained. In q
relative sense 1t is new and It Is crude.
1t presents few ruins, venerable or 9TH
erwise, but 1t has within its confines
some Of the noblest scenery the sun
shines upon. The man whose vision Is

Beneath the rafters, black and bare,
The ancient spinet stands;
The spiders Ger its yellow keys
Have stretched their filmy strands,
Around its weak and tottering frame
The airy cobwobs blow,
Ia lieu Of silken tapestries
That moldered long ago.
But windy nights a quaint old tune
Comes stealing down the stair.
For then she wakes the keys again.
A ghost with powdered hair.
The mice 60 dancing in and out
To melodies she sung
When the fashion trod the minuet
And Washington was young.
Around her on the garret floor
Her singing satins trail:
4 haunting sorrow dims hsT sysoI
Her face Is proud and pale.
But when I climb the creakins stni
The gusty moonlight falls
On nothing but the withered herbs
That hang against the walls
And yet the spinet trembles stiu
To that forgotten tune;
The ashes Of crumbled rose
Upon the keys are strewn:
And yonder chest below the caves
Her gown Of satin holds
With sprigs ef broken lavender
Between its faded folds.

Did you ever know that from acorns
you can make a perfectly fascinating

used to take delight in making when
they, too, were little girls, long ago1
For this tea set you must gather, II pos

having At, shallow cups. and the small
ones with rounder. deeper cups-for the
shallow acorn cups make the saucers
and the smaller ones the cups. A charm

adding a nose and handle from piece
Of match. and by cutting or the top to
make a cover. For the cream pitcher
and sugar bowl take two more acorns,

the nut and put on handles the same
way you did for the teapot. When COM

Very pretty flower dolls can be made
from hollyhocls and daisies. Pick one
Of the hollyhock flowers and take OF
the stem, then take q small bud, select

make eyes, nose and mouth with Ink.
The head can then be fastened to the
body with a long pin or q piece Of
broomcorn, which also serves to fasten
on a gay little bonnet made Of q pink
or any other flower you may wish to
use. All you have to do to turn a daisy
into a doll Is to mark the face on the

some Of the petals around the sides,

strings. By adding a paper gown you
