He Fixed the Picture.

On one occasion when the well known
English painter, Mr.. Val Prinsep. X.
A., was engaged at the Royal academy
In vanishing Il picture he unfOrtu-
nately upset a high box on which he
had been standing. with the result that
the sharp corner made It's way through
a picture Immediately below his own,
causing a large and jagged hole in the
canvas.
HorrIfed at what he had done and
dreading TO meet the artist TO whom
the damaged picture belonged, Mr..
Prinsep sought the academy secretary
and begged for permission to repair
the canvas. His request was granted.
The severed threads were stitched to-
gether, the seam was covered with
paint. and so skillfully was the tear
touched up that the picture was sold
at the private view on the next day.
Fortunately the painter Of the pic
ture. when affairs were explained to
him. was rather more amused than
annoyed at what had happened.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

berry fishing and is conducted In this
fashion:
At the close Of . dinner the cloth ID

table an immense bowl into which are
emptied half a dozen bottles Of Bor-
deaux wine. four Of cherry and two OF
rum. besides sugar and nutmeg. Into
this mixture Is put very large straw
berry. which floats upon the surface.
The bowl Is provided with two han
dies. These are used to lift the vessel

be brought near the edge and sucked
Into the mouth. This would appear an
easy feat, but II Is difficult one, as
the fruit rolls over when touched with

This .s the reason for the game, for
the bowl is passed from one to the 9TH

strawberry is captured. When that
moment finally arrives, all OF the
guests have reached ripe stage OF
hilarity. This Is the game az It Is

How He Obtained Quiet.

sheets were distributed by the ushers
lust previous TO his address. He was
feeling very tired, and speaking was n
great exertion; so. fearing the noise
that would result should the audience
rustic them. he resolved to get rid OF
them. He called out, "Will everybody
who has a hymn sheet hold II up"
The sheets were held up all over the
hall. Mr. Moody shouted, Now shake

Twelve thousand fimsy sheets Of pa
Der were shaken vigorously. They
made an indescribably musical sound.
There Is nothing TO compare IL with.
One can only say it was a vast rustic.
That will do" called Mr. Moody at
the top OF his voice. The sound ceased.
"All right" said Mr.. Moody. Now sit
on those hymn sheets" The audience

hution against interruption. Mr.. Moo

DRY FOOD FOR HOGS.

A hogs time is worth nothing, so let
him earn his living by the sweat Of his
Jaw. Some will argue that hogs will
put on more fat with the same food il
they can eat with the least exertion and
then lie down. But how about diges-
ton? They will drink it down and often
be compelled to drink more water than
they need in order to get the necessary
solids. Then, again, It will pass through
them undigested, and will be quite los:
In this direction. OF course, you need
not put so much water In, but just
dsmpen it. But by this way they will
swallow it down in large mouthfuls, snt
the digestion is no better. Let them eal
il dry and they will chew 1t and mix II
with saliva, and then it is ready TO dt
the most good.
