Crate for Shipping Hogs.

1t will be profitable to any breeder to
always ship his pigs in a neat. light
crate, in which the animal can be COM
fortably Grated. Some breeders are
very negligenton this line; they use old
fence boards, which makes heavy and
clumsy crates. Sometimes the animal
is not able to be comfortable because of
its either being too short or too mar
row. It is not business to use anything
but good, neat, clean-lool1ing crates,
suitable for size of pig shipped in it..
Il is an advertisement for the breeder.
It has an air of business that impresses
the buyer favorably.

Some Aids To Beauty.

Sleep on a very low pillow or none
at all. Sleeping on fiat bed Will
help to give straight, firmly poised
shoulders.
Walk from one to three miles every
day in broad-soled shoes and loose
clothing, leaving cares at home. You
may find them when you return, or
they will have fed entirely.
Walk with the limbs swinging from
the hips, Ike the pendulum and to
this keep the weight of the body for
ward on the balls Of the feet. This Is
the secret Of a graceful stage carriage.
Take a morning sponge bath with
as much regularity as you eat your
dinner.
Do not retire in a bedroom in which
the gas has been burning for hour,
Put out the light, throw open the
windows as wide as possible and get
pure oxygen before retiring. Then
leave the window so there Is circula-
ton Of good air all night long.
Regular hours for sleeping and for
eating are the best means Of keeping
perfect health. 4 dentist on looking
at a girls teeth found no cavities to

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and rs the winter advances,
thei NCatarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only n slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
veIop the disease. What appears
to be ou'v a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
morlv. and Will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.

Mr.. Rouss Sued.

Several years ago, when Mr.. Chas.
b. Rouss, the most famous living mer-
chant Of New York, felt that his eyes
had nearly failed him, he stated that
be would give 81 100000 to anybody
who would restore their sight This
offer called from ob:curity quite a
number Of quacks aud others, anxious
to secure the liberia reward offered by
Mr. Rouss. That gentleman did not
have the time to submit TO the e1pe-
riments that he knew would be pro-
posed-though perfectly willing to
undergo them if persuaded they would
be successful-so he employed a sub
stitute, Juo. +. Martin, who was sim.
ilarly afflicted, TO submit TO the eEpe-
rIments the great merchant would have
to endure to regain us sight, promis.
ing that ~ the event oil Martin regain
ing his vision be wonld submit 10 the
same trials.

cessfully upon Mr.. Rouss' substitute
was DR.. Geo. II. Cassidy, Of New York,
who is now arranging through an at
torney 10 recover from the merchant
prince the sum Of 100000 10 dam

has been injured to that amount by
Mr.. Rouss not allowing him TO e1perl-
ment upon bis eyes. DR.. Cassidy also
says that Mr Rouss warned persons
against submitting to his treatment.

most generous Of men, but be is also
a stout fighter against injustice, and
