different breeds, the old dog is much
smaller than the 6-months-old puppy.

EXPOSITION BEAUTY.
PUTTING THE RAINBOW CoLORs ON
ONE OF BIG BUILDINGS.

EARLY Hints of What the Vtsttors
May See of Nodded Plastic Orna-
ment.tton and Color Decoration at
Pan-American EXPEDITION.
1t is now possible to go somewhat
more into detail regarding the plastic
and color work upon the various build
ings Of the Pan-American Exposition.
The most advanced of the buildings Is
that to be devoted to machinery. Inc
staff upon the exterior of this edif1ce Is
now nearly all in place, and the great
structure is in the hands OF the color
artists.
Though very large building, 500 by
| $50 feet, the four facades are SO bro
| ken by architectural features that
there Is nothing of monotony or sever
ity. Every one who has the good for
/ tune to visit the grounds during this
advanced stage of development unhes-
itatingly applauds the happy results OF
both the architectural and color
schemes.
In order that the reader may have a
correct understanding let me first de-
scribe the nodded work with which the
exterior of the building is ornamented.
By means of the very ingenious pro-
duction known as staff, which Is made
out of white plaster, into which liberal
quantities of manila fiber have been
mixed in order to make 1t tough and
durable, the Exposition buildings are
given the appearance Of solid1ty ano
massiveness as well as the beauty Of
richly carved stone. But, since the
material Is not stone, the idea of add
ing color to the work has been suggest
ed. How to apply the color SO that i
would heighten the beauty Of the worl

STOCK
HANGING THE HOGS.
l Device That Does Away WITH tne
Hardest Part of Winter Butcher-
ing ON the Farm.

The hardest work about butcher
ing is hanging the hogs unless one
has something that will tighten the
labor. The device shown in the MUS
tration is very satisfactory and can
be made at very little expense. u
would require about 70 feet OF scant-
ling s1s by inches, two good Puieys
and strong piece of rope. The legs
are each 7 feet inches long. At the
top are two frames. The side pieces
of the upper one is feet long and the
lower 10 feet. At the Jennings, the legs
and side pieces should be mortised v
inch each and firmly bolted with good
strong bolts. The two cross boards
at the top are each by Ia inches and
2h feet long. They should be OF some
hard wood, as they hold the pulley.
and consequently bear the weight OF
the hogs. Braces can be put IN II the
frame does not seem strong enough

Tho. sides should lean toward each
other some, the legs being 2h Feet
apart at the top. and AZ feet at the bot
tom.
Til. roller is about 2N feet from the
ground. The one in the illustration
was taken from an old binder, the iron
rod in the center being squared at one
end for the crank. Any blacksmith can
make q crank for it. It should be long
enough to give good leverage in lift
ing the hogs. The puIleys are fastened
to the boards at the top by means
of eyebolts. The rope Is fastened to
the roller, passes through both pull
leys, and has the gambrel tied to the
other end. It should be long enough
that no lifting be required.
When the hog is ready to be hung
lift 1t until the gambrel comes above
the 1o-foot side piece; turn the hog
until the gambrel rests on these pieces
at both sides, when the rope Is united
and the hog ID slipped to the end neal

enough to bear the weight. Severa
hogs can be hung at one time In THU

Another arrangement good for rain,
days is made by securing the roller q

pulley to the rafters. A long rope il
| required and the hogs are raised VI
and then lowered into q hogshead o
hot water. After they are scalded AM
cleaned, the carcasses are raised an
hung on two heavy scanthngs whicl
are fastened in the shed and used JUS

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and indigestion.

The national disease of Americans Is in
digestion, or, in its chronic form. tyspep-
sia, and for the very reason that IL Is SO
common many persons neglect taxing
proper treatment for what they consider
triffing stomach trouble, when, as mat
ter OF fact. indigestion lays the founda-
tion for many incurable diseases. No per.
son with a vigorous. healthy stomach Will
fall a victim TO consumption. Many kidney
diseases and heart troubles date their be-
ginning from poor digestion; thin. nervous
people are really so because their stomachs
are out of gear; weary, languid, faded-out
women owe their condition to imperfect
digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion II is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be a cure
for dyspepsia, we'll as a score OF other
troubles, when. IN fact, as Doctor Werthier
says, there Is but one genuine dyspepsia
cure, which is perfectly safe and reliable.
and moreover, this remedy is not patent
medicine, but 1t Is q scientific combination
of pure pepsin Cree from animal natter,
vegetable essences. fruit salts and bismuth.
1t is sold by druggists under name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extrava-
CANT claims are made for them, but for
indigestion or any stomach trouble, Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead Of
any remedy yet discovered. They act, on
the food eaten. no dieting is necessary.
simply eat all the Wholesome food you
want, and these tablets will digest 1t. A
cure results, because all the stomach needs
is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
give by doing the work of digestion.

B0ER ENJOYS ADDRESS,
They Feel Sure of the Sympathy
of Americans.

New York. June 2s.-The Boer envoys, who
have been in this country for the past two
months to-day issued an address to the
people of the United States. After express
ing regret at their inability to accept many
of the invitations extended to them they
expressed their thanks TO the American
public for 1.-The deep sympathy they have
shown for the cause OF the two struggling
Republics"
Continuing. the address says:
I'VE now feel convinced that the boastful
other British statesmen that the citizens Of
this great country sympathiZed with the
British Empire in its attempt to crush the
liberty and independence of our two small
States is absolutely devoid of truth"
The address then goes at great length
into the history of the relations between
Great Britain and the Beers
Taking up the campaign to date the ad-
dress says:
THE Beers may be in the end defeated
by overwhelming numbers, and may ulti-
mately be forced to surrender, owing to
difficulty of securing ammunition and pro-
visions. but the conduct of the present war
and the history of the past 100 years justi-
fy US IN saying that they will never be
conquered"
The address concludes by saying that the
envoys do not ask the direct or forcible in
tervention of the United States. but con-
tinuance of public sympathy and support.
The address is signed by Abraham Fischer,
c. II. Vessels and A. d. Wolmarans.
