appears in eruptions, dyspepsia, in

On July 1, 1893, when the battle at 81
Caney was hottest, q curious commo-
lion among the Spanish soldiers was
Visible IN one Of the trenches which de-
tended the town. Toward the middle
IF the day the watching American sol
Tiers on the nearest line saw a half
grown pig come running out Of a low
matched building inside the Spanish
trenches, and, rounding a corner Of h
itch, take to fight outside the trenches
n the direction of the American posi-
don.
Evidently he had been lodged under
The thatch-roofed house just behind b
french, in the free-and-easy domestic
manner in which Cuban pigs are gen.
orally taken care of. A bullet or a shell
had invaded his retreat, shattered his
Enclosure, set him free and scared him
almost to death at the same time.
The Spanish soldiers ceased their fir
ing as the pig escaped, and there was
.ommotion among them. Presently
this commotion resolved itself into a
rush of several soldiers out of the
trench and In the direction Of the pig.
, 1899-05-05

Soon there were fifteen of them out in
the open, In the full sweep of the
American fire.
Some of them a to head off the pig
md others pushed up behind to catch
him. The pig wheeled and lodged, and
The soldiers wheeled and lodged after
aim. Their voices rose in chorus of
Spanish shouts. Up aid down went
The pig; when a soldiers hands We're
on him he would make a twist ard
once he made a ioSHGg straight run TO-
ward the American lines; it did NOT
help him, for the soldiers were after
him, entirely unregarding the battle.
Some of them headed him off again,
and In another moment an athletic
young soldier had seized first his Tall
and then his legs. Still another mo
nent and the pig, firmly held, was on
his way back to the trenches, riding1 on
the shoulder of this young man, 1is
rorelegs gripped by one hand and hls
hind legs by the other.
The soldiers resumed their places In
the trench; the one who had the pig

building, and presently returned to bis
own place and took up his gum.
1t is safe to say that during the chase

we're too full of admiration and aston

the audacious Spanirds were under:

not see the incident were blazing away

who were chasing the pig must have
heard a great many bullets whistling
about their heads during their perform

Highly Appreciated.

An old Latin saying, Laudant quod
aon Intelligent CThey praise what they
DO not understand), was once fllus-
trated by an English tourist who hap
pened into the Lutheran church, at
Elsinore one Sunday morning. tThe
tourist did not know a word of the
Danish language, but he wrote, fThe
clergyman had a quiet earnestneSs of
manner and a persuasive eloquence
that pleased and attracted. I ADMIRED
the discourse, although l did nbt I'M
derstand a word of it." The book from
which we have copied this ILLUSTRATION
of a common practice tells the follow
Ing amusing story of a Dutch audience

"Your best friend, Is he? For my part,

better man friend than one who pander-

me good enough to associate with his

She is crying bitterly now, with her
face hidden in her hands, but her tears
have no more effect upon James Moray
than they have upon the table.

coarsely; 'stop it! do you hear? It's all

ness l ever did in my life, by blabbing of
me in that way" ,
All this time it has never occurred to
Della to ask why her husband and his
brother took the unusual trouble to drag
out her delicate child, in such inclement
weather, to accompany them on their
round of pleasure. And she catches at
the last words of her husbands address

tion?'

James Moray, striding across the apart
ment to her side and grasping her by
he wrist. "Now, what is itY'
But Della elinches her teeth and is ST.

Then take the consequences of your
cursed o~bstinacy."
The. uplifted hand comes down heavily
upon the side of her head, but, she does
not resent it further than by closing her
eyes as it descends. But when she re-
ceives it she draws a long breath, and,
springing up from her seat, confronts her
husband.

At this moment there comes a cough-a
single hollow ~cough-from the next room.
Della hears it and makes a spring fol-

Is in Moray's pocket.

MILK YOUR COWS CLEAN.

D. H. Otis, Kansas Experiment Sta
ton, writes: 1t is a well known fact
that COWS not MIXED clean will tend
to dry up in short order. Another i'm
portant reason for clean milking is to
get all of the butter fat, which is con-
tanned in a much larger per cent. in the
last than in the first milk drawn, as
Is shown by the following experiment:
The College Dairy has conducted an
experiment showing the Importance or
clean milking. Five COWS that were
giving a fair quantity of milk were
selected and their milk collected in half
mint bottles, each teat contributing It's
share to every bottle. These samples
were tested with the Babcock test,
with the following results:
Cow No. 6 varied from IS of l per cent
to To per cent.
Cow No. 10 varied from 2 of l per
cent. to 6.6 per
Cow No, IA varied from 1.6 per cent
Cow No. Is varied from 1.5 per cent.
to 6.S per cent
Cow No. 20 varied from g or l per
cent. to -7.8 per cent.
The result shows a gradual although
not entirely uniform increase in the
per cent. of fat from the beginning to
the last of the milking, except with
the last two samples drawn from eacn
cow. Here the per cent. of fat would
take a sudden lean, amounting ot,en
70 a third or a half of the total var1a-
ton. This shows very clearly how i'm
portant it is to get all the milk. BY
| averaging the results 1t was found
| hat the last quarter of a pin was
; worth from three-fourths to one and a
half pints of milk first drawn from
the udder.

courage his dissipated brother in his vices,
but never ask him to his own home or
stretch out a helping hand to aid him to a
better life, prepares to return to his vui-
gar, thriving home at Brixton.
But Della will not let him pass. She
places herself before the door and giares
at him like a tigress.
"You shall not go until you have heard
me speak" she says. You come here
and encourage this man In his drinking
and his idleness; you know that he lives
upon my earnings and ~ill-treats me in
return; you know that you are ashamed
to ask him to your Owl house or intro
duce him to your friends, and yet when l

She looks 80 as she stands there, with
the fire Of indignation cleaning from her
eyes.
"Most Acknowledgements heard of
such a thing" mutters William Moray,
as he slips past her down the stairs.
Then she Is left alone with her hus-
band, and fear succeeds to desperation.
Her vehemence has almost sobered him.
He looks as though he were about to
speak.
She puts her boy into his little bed with
many a fervent kiss, and returns to the
sitting room, inwardly trembling, though
outwardly calm, to collect his scattered
clothes. Poor little Willy has but one
suit. If she does not hang 1t before the
FIRE to dry he will have nothing to wear
upon the morrow.
Della glances round suddenly and meets
her husbands eyes. The semi-intoxicated
look has faded from them; her daring has
dispelled it. She knows now that she has
to encounter a man sober enough to be
dangerous, and sufficiently strengthened
by liquor to feel his power. Her first i'm
pulse is to secure the weapon nearest at
hand, and that is a chair. She puts it in
front of her and grasps it tightly, as
James Moray, with his effeminate, puny
face and evil EYE, advances toward her.
