The claim made was that feeding this
diseased flesh produced mild form of
the disease and pigs thus fed would
hereafter be free from cholera. This
theory was advanced several years ago
and caused considerable comment. Di-
rector Plumb. however. concludes the
method of treatment not entirely sue
cess, according to the testimony at his
command. The experiment station does
not indorse this method of treatment
and distinctly SO states. Hog cholera
is contagious disease. and when once
it secures foothold in herd. usually
runs its course, and after much fatality
becomes more or less extinct, especially
where serious attempts are made to
stamp out the disease. Thus far no
certain remedy, based on an extended
trial, has been brought out. The In
diana experiment station will indorse
no hog cholera remedy now on the mar
ket, and the most we can recommend
is absolute cleanliness about the pig
yards and lots and the liberal use of
disinfectants."

The secret of This Onal.

A New Orleans jeweler tells rather
whimsical little story at the expense
of gentleman of this city who plumes
himself on his freedom from supersti-
ton. Back in the SOS some time"
said the jeweler, 'he bought an opal
ring while on visit to Ell Paso, Tex.
The setting was supposed to come from
the Mexican mines and was remarkably
handsome and full of fire. 1t was
mounted with ten small brilliants and
made really very striking ornament;
but, as usual, the friends of its owner
were continually predicting that it
would bring him bad luck. He laughed
at their alarm and finally took a good
deal of pride In vaunting his superiority
to popular superstition. About month
ago he lost one of the brilliants and
brought the ring here for repairs. I've
worn this opal for over ten years. be
said, and I've yet to discover that 1t
was responsible for any misfortune.
Plague take such silly notions, any
how When I repaired the mount l
examined the setting carefully and was
greatly amused to discover that it
wasn't an opal at all, but merely a
piece of colored glass. 0pals, by the
way, are easily initiated, the current
belief to the contrary Notwithstanding.
When told the gentleman about 1t IT
made him so mad that he gave the ring
to his negro porter."-New Orleans
mes-Democrat.

Chopin's Appreciative Audience.

ShoplnS . AppreC1at1Ve audience.
When Chopin, the great composer and
pianist, was young man, he Travelled
through Poland with friend and was
one day snowbound. Some peasants
succeeded in getting the sleigh out of
the drift, and escorted the strangers to
a post-house to exchange horses.
AS the travellers entered the little
house, Chopin went to the piano, and,
striking few chords, exclaimed joy
fully, Santa Cecilia, the piano is in
tuner and seated himself at the instru-
ment. AS he sat there improvising, the
peasants stole in and stood watching
him with mingled amazement and de-
light.
we shall see whether they are lovers
of music" said Chopin softly to his
friend. and thereupon he. began to play
his fantasia on Polish airs. The peas
ants stood in silence, their eyes fixed on
the pianist's flying fingers and their
faces irradiated with pleasure.
Suddenly the postmaster announced,
''The horses are ready" Chopin start
ed up, but a dozen voices cried, 'sFinish
that, wonderful piecelanish itv' And
the postmaster, who had heard only a
few bars, said pleadingly:
"Pll give you courier, horses, every
thing you want, if you will remain just
q little while"
The fantasia was finished, and at last
the pianist was allowed to depart,
though with many expressions of sor-
row from the enraptured group.
Years afterward, when all Paris fell
under the charm of his skill, Chopin
often recalled the tribute paid him by
those Polish peasants.
