The Hog and the Garden.

A hog one day entered a gentle
mans garden, Rooted up his Lawn and
finally made a Comfortable Wallow of
the Basin Of the Fountain.
Appearing on his veranda, the Gen.
tleman was Infuriated by the specta.
Gle of Filthy Destruction presented to
his view, and Shouted Loudly to the
Hog.
"Hush," urged the Beast from his
Wallow in the Basin Of the Fountain
IF you Raise Row you will Attract
the Attention Of the Neighbors-and
surely you don't want them to see into
what Foul State the premises Of
man of your Wealth and Position have
fallen. Keep quiet, my Agitated
Friend, and Say Nothing about it."
But the enraged gentleman fell upor
the Hog and drove him forth with
blows, and then set to work to Restore
his Premises to the former decent con
dition.

Kamr Banking.

The Kaf1irs have a remarkably sim

out to trade they select one of theii
number as their banker, and put al
their money in his bag. When an ar

are in this combine the price Is taker

several times and then paid to the
seller. After which all the bank de
positors cry out to the banker, in the
presence of two witnesses selected
"You owe me so much" This is theT

A Ne edle Cure For Pain.

"Women have abandoned the nee
die" says a French doctor in recent
article, but it is employed nowadays
to relieve them of pain instead Of to
kill time and eyesight. The originator
of this treatment is a surgeon in the
British army in India. This simple
but successful treatment for lumbago
and neuralgia has been long in prac-
tice by the Hindus. 1t consists OF
lifting a fold of the skin at the point
where the pain is most intense and
running it through with needle which
is left in the flesh for from three to
twenty minutes. The treatment is
said to afford relief in every case and
in many instances leaving entirely.
The pain seldom returns within ten or
twelve hours"

Didn't Teach Him That Trick.

"That's VERY knowing animal O.
yours" said a Cockney gentleman to
the keeper Of an elephant.
"Very," was the cool rejoinder.
"He performs strange tricks and
hantics, does he?" inquired the Cock
ney, eyeing the animal through his
glass.
"Surprisin'w retorted the keeper.
"We've learned him to put money in
that box you see up there. Try him
with half crown"
The Cockney handed the elephant
half a crown, and, sure enough, he
took it in bis trunk and placed it in
box high up out Of reach.
"Well, that is very hextraordinary-
hastonishing, truly" said the green
one, opening his eyes. "Now, let's
see him take it out and 'and 1t back"
1--WE never learned him that trick" !"
retorted the keeper, and then turned
away to stir up the monkeys and
punch the hyenas.-Tit-Bits.

Cameo Pins.

After having suffered from oblivion
for a long time the old-fashioned ca
meo brooch is enjoying a revival In
popularity. They are more curious
than pretty, to tell the truth, unless
now and then you come upon model
Of true classical beauty. These are
now brought out from the limbo Of
old fashioned ornaments, and are used
to hold down the belt and hold up the
skirt in the middle Of ones waist in
the back, The cameo pins are not
used directly under the chin because
they are singularly unbecoming to
most people.

DEATH.

To Hvo 70 die,
To see the great unknown.
] wonder if when we are dead
Well know who's right, who's wrong
The end of life
Is wrapped in darkest night;
Will the effulgent sun arise
On an eternal morn!
We all must die,
But shall we live again?
Does death but mean eternal sleep,
Or will we wake at dawn
And if we wake
Will all our hopes be true?
Have we beheld immortal truth
With only human eyes?
Nv ears have caught,
When all was still as death,
A song BY fairest angels sung
1t might have been a dream.

had elbow puffs Of the muslin, and

One night last week there appeared
at the depot for the night train east a
tall, we'll knit man with a light com.
plection and red mustache, apparently
thirty.fve or forty years Of age, dressed
in the garb of a farmer. He spoke
very good English and there was little
about him to attract attention except
four motherless children. The Oldest
was little girl not more than ten years
old and the youngest was small babe
in his arms, On the train he was shown
considerable attention by kindhearted
strangers, and some motherly old
women helped him get the children
settled. After a little he talked in a
stoical, matter of fact way about his mis-.
fortunes and his children, He said he
had come from Kingman that day,
That the mother of the children had a
stroke of paralysis, her mind was af'
fected and 1t became necessary to send
her to the asylum. He was taking the
girls to Alabama to find them a home.
The boys he thought he could raise him
self. His name was Leshten and he
has been farming in the south part Of
this county or edge of Kingman. There
are a number Of stories going round to
the effect that years ago he was a prom
inent official in the German army. That
his father was wealthy and in high
standing, At length reverses came and

A most curious case, showing how
The separate systems Of the govern
Victim a, Jud. ment may take on
confusing hape,
''"' "''"r' has just come to
light in Indiana, A man who has for
10 years been confined in jail, at the
expense Of the nation, has, during all
these years, been in receipt, or intend
ed receipt, OF II considerable sum OF
money from this same nation. II Is
because the man fought in the great
civil war that the complication was
made possible, explains the New York
Herald. At least, his services In bat
tie were responsible, In part, for the
situation. 1t once occurred to the man
that after having fought the good fight
for freedom and mihcation, II might
be the graceful thing for the country
to recognize his worth by money con-
sideration, 80 he put In an application
for pension. 1t was allowed, and the
mans name was written on the book
of fame, after which he was entitled
TO dollars, Shortly following this
period, another man passed ON to the
great beyond, under circumstances
which the coroner's jury considered
called for the trying Of somebody on u
capital punishment charge, 1t so hap
pened that the pensioner was the per-
son fixed upon as the active agent as
sisting in the earthly exit of the de-
ceased. Although the pensloner stout
| ly maintained his innocence, the proof
was 40 strong as TO lead the jury to a
verdict of guilty, and the committing
Judge to Il sentence of life imprison-
ment, This was in the year 1850, and
for 10 years the pensioner worked out
his destiny behind the bars. AT the
conclusion Of this time, the man who
had committed the murder took to his
last bed, and it occurred to him to
make confession. So the pensioner Is
free now. But he still has troubles.
There are some thousands Of dollarsin
pension money which the wardens
have failed to turn over TO him, and he
is obliged to sue for their recovery.
Besides, there are the wasted 10 years,
because Of the implicit judicial faith
in the infallibility of eirclmstantial
evidence.

was visitor in the city last Saturday,
