0RANG-OUTANG SALLY.
4 Slmian Pet Who Lives In More Cen.
fort Than Most Of Her Human
NeighboFs.

Residents Of the eastern town OF Ban
galore are daily treated to the extraor'
dinary spectacle of an enormoui
ourang-outang being wheeled through
the streets like baby. The accom-
panying picture, from photograph
shows the big brute. whose name ii
Sally, comfortably seated in her car
riage of state, with a look of wooden
contentment on her face.
Sally is about five feet in height and
weighs about 100 pounds. She is high.
~ intelligent animal and has alway:
shown the greatest affection for hei
dusky attendant, whom she allows oc.
casionally to take her place in the wag-
on while she does the pushing. The
orang-outang was reared from q baby
by a government elephant catcher
named Sanderson, and is one of the very
few of the species that have proved
tamable.

THREE WORTHY WORDS

Ny lad, three lessons would write.
Three words upon your heart engrave.
Through all your life. to guide you right
Be true, be kind. be brave
Be TRUE. whatever may Eetide:
Speak. act the truth at asy cost:
OF little worth is all besides
II trust in you be lost
Be KIND, another's feelings heed:
Slight no occasion you may find
For gentle word and lovin. deed:
'Tis noble to be kind.
Be BRAVE. with courage srue and strong;
Mind neither ridicule norssneer:
To dare TO do the weak a wrong
But proves the basest fesr.
II you, my lad, these lessofss three.
These simple words. your motto make.
Esteem and honor yours shall be.
With fortune in their wake.

enormous strength, and the few cap
tured have had to be kept in close con
finement.. Sally seems to have beer
born with better temper than most OF
her kind, for so far she has shown none
of the wicked traits that have distin.
quished other orang-outangs.
She is an educated animal and eats
her meals with knife and fork, sitting

Feeding the Pig for Fork.

What il a complete food for the pig.
and will It pay to feed some wheat
even when wheat is pretty high in
price? II wheat is fed with cornmeal
the results are highly satisfactory.
Bran, because ef its character Of con-.
position, is not . wholly desirable
feed for pigs. Middlings may be fed
with profit at any time during the
hogs life. They are not only rich in
protein and ash, but are what may be
called a clean, smooth food, being free
from the Objectionable crude fiber
which SO prominently distinguishes
bran. Barley is an excellent food. and
will enable such sections as Northern
Dakota and Montana to produce some
Of the best pork In the world. In
these and other sections like them,
barley and peas viii make pork pro-
ductior profitable, If given the oppor-
tunity. Peas, as all understand, are .
highly nitrogenous food, and when dry
should always be fed with some other
grain. There are some who do not ap-
preciate the value Of clover hay for
swine. 1t is to be regretted that such
appreciation is not universal. 1t is not
only vd4dable because of its high merit
a. q feed, but because of the bulk that
It furnishes. No growing animal
should be fed exclusively upon the
grains. There should be some bulk fur
nishetl. Swine will eat dry clover hay
with q relish, but the better way to
feed it is to cut it up, steam it or pour
hot water ON it, and mix with meal.
Pasture, II it il the right kind of pas
ture, il nearly an essential in profita-
ble swine raising. 1t should be clover
pasture, but if it is not. it must be
composed of short and tender grass.
There is vast difference in the
quality Of pork. Some is sweet, ten
der and juicy. Some n directly the re-
verse. Feed is largely responsible for
this difference. In experiments, con-
Quoted for the purpose Of determining
the influence of food on the quality of
pork, It has been found that milk,
corn. barley, oats and peas produce the
most solid and best favored meat. Po-
tatoes produce . soft pork. By-prod-
ucts of the -four mill make an infe-
rior pork. Oil meals produce pork that
Is oily and Of poor flavor. The meat
made from feeding beans is without
flavor, and hard and indigestible.
Acorne do not make good pork.-Ag-

and gold fields, coal. iron and eoppes
mines, and timber of great value. The
Beers have never done anything toward
the development Of the mineral re-
sources Of the country, preferring the
raising of cattle to digging for pre-
cious ores. Foreigners of all national
tiles naturally gravitated toward this
new Eldorado, and powerful companies
invested fortunes in smelling plants
and mining machinery, 20 that the pop
ulation increased quickly to $4,000. OF
whom less than $4,000 are Beers. In or
der to prevent their absorption by new
comers, the founders Of the South Al
rican republic drilled every citizen in
military tactics and organized q sys-
tenn of government which virtually dis
franchises all foreigners, or uitlanders.
In 1878 the Beers passed a law. or rath-
er reaffirmed an old law, to the effect
that the people will admit of no equal
ity of persons of color with the white
inhabitants, either in state or church.
In the same year war with rc5ellious
natives had emptied the Boer treasury;
and England felt called upon to inter-
vene ''in the name of humanity" and

1877, annexed the Transvaal. More than
three years afterward, the impOv-
erished Beers began an active war for
independence. They had chosen new
provisional government, with Paul Kru-
ger, NJ. w. Pretorius and r. j. Joubert
at its head. Sir G. Pomercy Colley, lieu
tenant governor Of Natal, refused recog-
milton to the Kruger administration
and led a punitive expedition against
the Beers. In January. 1881, his troops
came to Laing's Neck, where they met
Gen. Joubert's forces, and in less than
five minutes i69 English soldiers had
been killed. A few days later the troops
met again On the banks Of the lngogo,
where Coiley lost another Is men. On
February 27 occurred the famous bat
tie of Majuba Hill, in which Colley and
the flower of his army bit the dust.
Shortly afterward England recognized
the independence of the Transvaal, was
given a resident agent AT Pretoria. was

ainty, and in its turn granted all the de-
mands of the Beers. Kruger has re-
manned president ever since 1881. and

A little girl, who had just entered

THE SMALLEST SHETLAND PONY.

tions show how very small the pony
really is. The carriage to which it is
yoked is child's mail cart, and it seems
big enough for it. The little lady who
holds the reins is Miss Rhoda Hunter,
and the pony's name is also Rhoda.
This small yet perfectly formed speci-
men of the pony breed belongs to Mr..
Peter Anderson. Lerwick. 1t is three
years old, yet stands but 80 inches in
height. 1t is black in color and is in
the same shaggy condition in which it
came out Of its native hills. Its owner
has refused big price for this rarity.
