A Wise Pig.
From the Philadelphia Record: Pigs
that have amazed vast audiences at

Iot to be mentioned in the same breath
with the young porker the following
account OF which has been sent to the
Record by a person who has hereto
fore been considered thoroughly relia-
BILE and truthful: "One of the big drays
going down Tenth street on Thursday,
having to stop at the corner Of Car
penter street, the boys who were
utilizing the rear end for a ride were
surprised and delighted to see a pig
try TO scramble up beside them. Kind
ly hands helped him. and he sat con-
tent among the free riders until
small street below Morris was reached,
when he intimated by grunts and
scrambliDg that he wanted to get off
the dray. He was assisted to the
street, and Immediately made his way
to doorstep, where he was at home,
as he was soon admitted to the house.
He Is pet pig, owned by q dermatol-
ogist, who Is making experiments upon
him with newly-invented hair tonics.
Every few days piggy appears on the
doorstep with bristles OF different
color. and 1t Is said his hairs really
begin to curl. owing to the application
of castor oil and quinine. Recently.
having been treated with peroxide of
hydrogen, he has been OF most beau
tiful gold color. Piggy Is bathed every
day, has his teeth brushed with lys-
terine, and sits on the front steps
with the children, occasionally stroll
ling square or two with them. The
fact that he knew his way home and
preferred to ride there has made him
quite hero In the neighborhood."
