Unruly Hogs.

A correspondent of the Rural World gives the following on how to keep a roguish hog from roofing gates open: "Fasten ring in the center of the nose, then fasten another ring in this one, and so on till you make chain of rings nearly up to the ears. Then make fork in the chain and put the last ring of each fork in each ear. Now, let me tell ycu how one man alone can do all this without catching or handling even the largest hog. have low stanchion made in the manager of my barn by saw ing out space large enough to work back and forth at top and stationary at bottom. Then at top fix drop lever with several notches to fit over the top of this scantling. Then fix narrow shoot so you can force the hog to try to get through the hole in the manager You can fasten the hog securely here 90 he will be perfectly quiet, and you can ring, blindfold or do anything else except drench him. To do that lay him on his back !"

Sheep In Michigan.

The first extensive attempt ever made at sheep raising in the upper peninsula of Michigan. says the Minneapolis Jour nal, has just been begun as an expert ment by the Cleveland Cliffs Iron com pany on it's lands near Negaunee, in Marquette. The company owns thou sands of acres of land, most of which is not in use and probably will not be for years At present it is not even paying taxes. After careful deliberation the management has come to the conclusion that there is money in raising sheep. As secondary consideration it wishes to demonstrate the feasibility of sheep raising there and introduce a new in dustry to the farmers of that region. That first lot of sheep for the new ranch has just arrived from the Chicago market. There are 240 in all. During the first few years there will not be many sheep killed, as it is the intention to increase the flock to at least 2, ,000. Some farming will have to be done as an adjunct to the sheep raising. All the feed necessary to carry the sheep during the winter is to be raised on the ranch. Large barns will be built for the pro- lection of the stock during the winter and also for storing hay and grain.

M. Francois Ponsard. whose Charlotte
Corday," written half a century ago, is
still a popular play. tells the following
amusing aneedote in the current number
of the Revue de Paris':-A few years
ago he was at Caen, and hired a carriage
for a drive around the town. The "cocher"
asked:-9would Monsieur like to see the
house of Charlotte Corday?' Certainly"
was the reply. The carriage stopped be-
fore a plain looking dwelling. and M. Pom
sard was told 20 enter a passage and call
the concierge. He did as he was told,
and asked an old woman If 1t was there
that Charlotte Corday had lived. Yes,
sir" replied the concierge. but you can
not visit the apartment; it is a corn ware
house. Here is the window of Charlotte's
chamber, and opposite, where you see a
little balcony, was the room Of her lover"
"Ah,v replied NJ. Ponsard, charlotte had

II appears that people generally are
greatly mistaken in their notion that
there Is an enormous surplus OF unlnar-
RED women in this country. The truth IS
that no such excess Of spinsters exists; n
fact. it is quite the other way, the nach-
elors outnumbering the maidens- At the
nresent moment there are in the United
States 2. 200. GOO more unattachedmales tnan
females similarly situated, the exact hg-
ures being 5,4z7, 767 bachelors against S,224 :
4e4 spinsters of ages from twenty years
up.s Thus it is obvious that if girls do not
hnd husbands it Is not for lack OF a pien-
tifuI supply of the article, What Is re-
CURED, seemingly, is a general migration
of spinsters from the North and EAST 70
the great and growing West. in parts OF
which there are ten available males Tor
every maid.
From the last remark, however, 1t must
not be inferred that there is actually an
excess of unmarried women in the North
ern and Eastern States. Even in those
parts Of the country there are more
bachelors than spinsters twenty a OLD
and upward, Notwithstanding theory
to the contrary so widely accepted. NO
state in the Union has as many maidens
as bachelors-not ever Massachusetts,
where the figures are 21s,255 spinsters'
against 226, 0S5 bachelors. Massachusetts IS
the banner State for spinsters. the bach
elors outnumbering them by only two
tenths of one per cent. Next comes Rhode
Island. where the excess Of bachelors IS
two per cent. The excess of bachelors IN
the District of Columbia is eight per
cent in North Carolina nine per cent, In
New Hampshire nine per cent, in Con-
necticut twenty per cent, in Maine thir-
ty-seven per cent. and in Vermont nifty
four per cent. In Maryland the bachelor
surplus is nineteen per cent, in New Jer7
sew it is twenty-five per cent, In New
York it is twenty-six per cent ana N
Virginia it is twenty-five per cent. AN
of these are low percentages. 50 far as
the superiority of bachelors in point OF
numbers is concerned. philadelphia

before retiring, and then dismissing It
from the mind. 1t should be something
unusual or fantastic. Things dwelt upon
