Many Contentious Have
Arisen in History

sow that would stand at birds which
the dogs had missel. Who ever heard
of an educated OK or sheep? Yet we
have had on our stage educated hogs
that could spell and play cards, count
and tell the time. iG
The hog caused the biggest mutiny
ever known in the history OF the
world, and was responsible for men be-
ing blown from the muzzles of can
non. When Great Britain shipped
cartridges to India for the native
troops she reckoned without her host,
for the ammunition was creased with
lard. which so offended the religious
scruples of the sepoys that they arose
as one man in rebellion. The Ameri-
can hog nearly caused war between
Germany and the United States, and
only the diplomacy Of Whitelaw Reid
obtained for the animal admission into
France.
Moses and Mohammed were opposed
to the hog because. while 1t divides the
hoof and Is cloven-footed, yet it chews
not the cud. The camel is not eaten
for opposite reasons--it chews the cud
but is not cloven-footed The hare Is
also unclean because while 1t chews
the cud it divides not the hoof. All
civilized nations have passed and re-
passed laws governing what man
shall eat and how much it shall cost
him, but the only sumptuary measure
that ever stood the test of time is the
law of Moses concerning the hog. 1t
has been on the statute book for 81
500 years

Pouring out his story, the man paid
no attention to Grace, as she strove
to comprehend the torrent of ms
words. and stood leaning against the
wall for support. .ts
Impatient of her delay, a voice
called her name. and Harvey stepped
from the library into the hall. ~
Tom Windom's glance fell on him.
One stride, brought him to his side.
Heavily his hand fell upon Barclays
shoulder. ...

has sent for you. You will be with
her within the hour"
UnsusIecting the truth, and believ-
ing only that Helen had returned, not
daring to disobey her summons, the
two men left the house.
The clergyman, who had been bidden
to await his return, remained two
hours, and then Grace dismissed him.
Next morning he knew that his
waiting must have extended to eterni-
ty. for, stretched on the floor of his
own room, Harvey Barclays dead
body was found, a CHASTITY knife wound
in his heart: but of his murderer the
authorities could discover no clue.

But she believed that only her imag-

But out, of the shadow strode tall

she had feared would never come to

returned.
Crossing to where she sat, he knelt

The late Duke of Edinburgh's life
was insured for e30O.000 and that
huge sum will have to come out of the
Golfers of the insurance societies.
Scarcely a single English insurance
company was without some interest in
Prince Alfred's life, but the critical
state of his royal highness' health dur

Man and
the He9.

The hog of today constitutes no less
than $40 different articles of COM
merce, and next to cotton and wheat
furnishes the largest values in ex-
ports from the United States, says a
writer. It's name has become an
epithet. Its application TO man
means greed and brutishness. 1t Is
commonly supposed to be a scayen-
ger, like the puddle duck. II takes
mud baths. So do men. There is
much virtue in mud. The hog bathes
in pools of it to coat his skin against
the attacks OF insects; man dips his
festered hide in to improve his cir
culation and draw out his gout and
rheumatism. have seen men, known
men today, with skins thicker than the
hide of the rhinoceros. The hog Is
omnivorous-so is man. The hog is
carnivorous by choice-so Is man. The
hog Is herbivorous, graniyorous,
gramnivorous and phytiyorous by edu-
cation-so is man.
These reflections are induced by the
indignities offered a useful animal.
The hog was the cleanest of beasts un-
til man built sty and imprisoned him
in filth, fattened him on filth, killed
him in filth, and ate him in filth. No
animal. wild or domestic, is so clean
about his bed as the hog. 1t wants
pure, sweet, fresh straw every time.
The hog has brains. II has been
known to excel the pointer in scent
ing quail. An authentic instance Is

British Quadrupeds of a keen-scented

by Missouri Girl.
II one will visit Walkerville. Shelby
county, Missouri, gather together a
circle of the old settlers of that most
picturesque and interesting neighbor-
hood, and let them get wound up to
story telling, one may hear many
amusing anecdotes and bits Of inter-
esting local history. The following
account of the origin of the familiar
expression, "Gole up Salt river" was
cleaned from this fertile field during
a recent visit, writes Euniee Morgan
Of MELVILLE, Mo-, to the st. Louis
Star.
Many years ago. before the war, in
fact, a politician and office-seeker liv-
ing in Pike county, through which Salt
river finds its way to the Mississippi,
was a candidate for the legislature.
Being defeated at the election, he
moved into Rails. the next county up
the river. where he again tried his for
tune at the polls; was again defeated
and again moved up the river.
In Monroe county he was a third
time defeated. but, still undaunted, he
canvassed Shelby county In his next
attempt, with as little success as he
had achieved lower down the stream.
From Shelby county he moved to Ma
con, with the same result. When any
one made inquiries az to his where
abouts, he was said to have gone up
Salt river.

AN ARCTIC NIGHT.
1t In the Most Wonderfully Beautiful
Thing That Exists. Says
hansen.

Nothing more wonderfully beautiful
can exist than the arctic night. 1t is
dreamland painted in the imaginations
most delicate tints; it is color ethereal
lied. One shade melts into another so
that you cannot tell where one ends
and the other begins, says Nansen in
his book, entitled 'Farthest North"
No forms-it is all faint, dreamy
color music, a far-away melody on
muted strings. Give it brighter colors,
and it is no longer beautiful. Over the
ice fields there are cold violet blue
shadows with lighter pink tints, where
a ridge here and there catches the last
reflection of the vanished day.
Up in the blue of the cupola shine the
stars, speaking peace, as they al
ways do.
In the south stands a large yellow
moon encircled by a yellow ring, and
light golden clouds floating on the blue
background.
Presently the Aurora Borealis shakes
over the vault of heaven its veil of gilt
tering silver; it spreads, it contracts
again, in restless change; next, it
breaks into many-folded bands of shin

glittering rays, and then the glory
vanishes. Presently it shimmers in
tongues of flame over the very zenith,
and then it shoots a bright ray right
up from the horizon, until the whole
meIts away in the moonlight, and it is
as though one heard the sigh of a de-
parting spirit.
Here and there are left a few waving
streamers of light, vague as a forebod-
ing-they are the dust from Aurora's
glittering cloak.
But now it is growing again, new
lightnings shoot up and the endless
game begins afresh. And all this time
this utter stiffness, impressive as the
symphony of infinitude.
To what end all this beauty with not
a creature to rejoice in it? This is the
coming earth-here are beauty and
death. But to what purpose? All,
what is the purpose of all these
spheres? Read the answer, if you can,
n h blue starry ornament.
