The history of grip" or influenza,

tainty, for 300 years. Perhaps its home
is in Russia 1t retains certain broad
characteristics which make it recog
nizable even under such odd names as
the gentle correction" and the .'new
delight" A curious description of il
under the name of "coqueluche" is
found in the diary of Pierre de LES
toile In the time of Henry III OF
France. as follows:
1.-THE cOQueluche at Paris, year 1880
From the I'd day to the 8th day OF
June there fell sick at Paris 10000
persons of an illness having the form
of rheum or catarrh, which they cal
the 'eoqueluche.' This Illness seizes
you with pain in the head, stomach
and loins and lassitude throughout
the body and it prosecuted the whole
kingdom of France while the year last
ed, so that once having come hardly
anybody In a town or village or house
escaped.
1.-THE best remedy the doctors found
was to make the sick abstain from
wine. To some they ordered bleeding
and rhubarb, for others cassia, and
finally they found it best to keep the
sick in bed and allow them little to eat
and drink. They say at Paris that OF
this 'coqueluche' there were dead al
Rome, in less than three months, more
than 10000 persons"

st. Helena is great place for caves

the latter. Geologically speaking, the
island is largely If not wholly, vol

queer names, such as Lots Wife, the

town, which has population Of about
$500. It lies In deep valley sur
rounded by very high hills. It is not
particularly healthy place. Ladder
hill is where the government house is
situated. 1t is so called because of the
almost PERCEPTIONS ladderlike wooden
stairs, by which It's activity of 500
feet has to be scaled.
Nearly four miles inland from James
town Is an Isolated farmhouse, on an
elevated plateau about 1000 feet above
the sea. This is Longwood, where Ma
poleon lived from 1915 until he died
there, In 1921 The house is a long,
low, whitewashed, fairly trim building,
with extensive outhouses, some rather
fine old trees and a good bit of decent

RAISING RAzORBAcks.
A ProftabTeA and ExcNing Industry
InIthe soufhwesf

Intthe Southwest.
While it Isl generally accounted that
the sheep and Angora goat furnish
most Of the revenues to the rancher 10
the broken and wooded country south
Of the staked plains and west Of the
Colorado river it is nevertheless a fact
that the razorback hog contributes a
full share says the Kansas City Times.
Probably there is no country any
where better adapted to the production
of cheap pork. The hills are covered
with cedar and great variety Of scrub
oak trees, and the canyons and river
valleys are heavily wooded with pc
ran and Spanish walnut, so there is
always an abundance of excellent food,
and in this connection it might be men,
toned that the cedar berries are con-
sidered equal to corn in lard producing
qualities.
With this sort Of feed, which is al
ways abundant, the expense Of care
and feeding is removed the animals
simply running at large over the coun-
try, so that the only outlay required is
that of the first cost of few head for
start Running loose in this way
they are not subject to the diseases
common to the hog in the sty or feed
lot, and, being excellent fighters, they
hold their own with the wolves and
other wild animals which prey on the
sheep and goats. Thus they multiply
very rapidly.
In order to get the benefit Of the in
crease in his stock, however, it is nee
essary for the rancher to get his mark
on the pigs. AS this, owing to the
roughness Of the country and the wild
ness of the sows, is no small task, it is
generally the custom for all the hog
owners In a given section to turn out
together with their dogs and practical
| " "round up the range.
Compared with one of these .hog
hunts" a cattle 3round up" is quiet
and commonplace affair. On the morn
ing appointed the dogs are turned loose
and started out on hog trail, and the
men ride after them just as on a wolf
chase AS the pigs cannot hold out
| very long one of them is soon caught,
and his squeals bring back the rest of
the bunch to his aid AS soon as the
pig is free the sows form circle
around the pigs. from which they now
and then dash ont at their tormentors
and all the while grunting like the rat
Ting of a hundred old wagons. BY
the time the uproar has reached its full
height the hunters ride up and hiss the
dogs on to seize the sows.
When one is caught, two men go to
the assistance of the dog, one with a
club to beat off the other hogs, the 9th
er with bit of rope to tie the one
seized. When all of them have been
thus put out of the way of fighting,
the pigs are caught and marked. Then
the sows are given their liberty and
the dogs started out on new trail.
When it happens that there are hogs
belonging to several different men, the
pigs are simply divided.
