early days, He prospected d every mountain range between the E ue Ridge mountain and the Sierra Ne vadas, and often struck 1t rich, and could not keep his money.
 The name of PegleR" was given him because Of the loss of one of bis legs and the substitution of a com mon peg for leg. Smith when quite "a young man was shot in the leg in Arizona by Apaches, and left near Apache pass to die. But he had no notion of giving up the ghost. His wound was a very serious one, and would have resulted in his death had he not been a man of great nerve. There was no doctor where he fell nor within hundreds of miles, and the leg began to mortify. Young Smith was however equal to the occasion and sat down under the shade of an oak tree near Dos Cabezas and with his pocket knife deliberately cut his leg off, whittled it uff as man would stick, but the heroic operation saved his life, as the leg healed up and he was ever after called "Pegleg."

che Battle Creek sanitarium had occa-
Fact. for Pork sion to remove
portion Of the lip
of a patient which
presented small cancerous growth.
An examination If the growth was
later made by the pathologist Of the
institution, in accordance with the
usual custom. On glancing through
the microscope at the specimen-slides
which had been prepared, he was not
little surprised to find, in addition
to the ordinary cancerous structure
which he expected to see, hundreds Of
nne specimens of the pork parasite,
trichinae spiralfs. 1t is not to be sup
posed, says Good Health, the organ Of
that institution, that the trichinae
were the cause of the cancer, for they
were without doubt present not only
in the lip, but in all parts Of the body,
at least in the muscular tissues. On
inquiry into the patients history. dis
tinct evidence was found that he had
once been afflicted with trichinosis.
During the attack he had suffered
pans in the muscles. but had supposed
the pain to be due to muscular rheu-
matism. More than 25 years ago DR..
Janeway. of the Bellevue hospital
medical college, asserted that the post
mortem examinations made at that
institution showed trchinae present
IN one case out of every II, which
would be approximately six per cent
Irlchinosis has greatly increased since
that time. The writer feels quite safe
IN claiming that at present in pork
eating districts fully ten per cent.
OF the inhabitants are carrying about
with them constantly millions of the
hving trichinae snugly coiled up in
their muscles. Government examina-
tions made at Chicago stock Yards
show that at least two per cent. Of
all the hogs killed there are infected
with trichinae. There are many more
men who eat hogs than hogs that eat
men, and the longer life of man and
hence the greater number of oppor-
tunities for infection are circum-
stances which naturally lead to a
greater frequency of this disease in
men than in hogs-a fact which is no
particular credit to human intelli-
gence.

Timely Word of Caution.

In feeding skimmilk great care
must be exercised. The most common
mistake made in feeding separator
skimmilk is to feed too much of it. A
young calf from week to two weeks
old should not have over one to one
and half gallons day, and larger
calves two gallons day. The skim
milk should be warm and sweet. We
add to the skimmilk a mixture of bran
and ground oats in equal parts by
weight. Put it into the milk for young
calves and as soon as they will take it
dry, give meal to calves in separate
box in dry form. We also give them
some nice clover hay and keep the
calves as dry and comfortable as pos
sible.-Prof. II. II. Dean, Ontario Agri.
cultural College.

The Ideal Hog Defined. +.

The prettiest hog is the one that is
the most profitable; the one that
makes the most pounds of pork from
a hundred pounds of dry matter; the
one that makes the largest contribu'
tion to the family necessities and to
the interest on the mortgage. If a
breeder departs from this ideal, he
makes a mistake, for sooner or later
the common-sense farmer will de.
mand q common-sense hog without

years ago by Col. w. II. Jackson, who,
in his childhood, played around It's
massive trunk, and in later years grew
to love it almost as he would his own

The great America, habit Of promis-

cuOuS eXpectoratlon has AT last come
r.,. -. a.. in conflict with a
minion of the law.
The clash ended
disastrously for the blue-coa ted guard
ian 9: civic manners. His head was
brokea, two of his ribs were frac-
tured and his body was bruised and
disfigured by numerous kicks. The
American splitter fell fJriously upon
him for attempting to interfere with
the most precious prerogative Of
free citizen in free republic. All
this happened in the streets of the
city of st. Paul. A police patrolman
attempted to enforce the ordinance
prohibiting splitting on the sidewalk.
Five young men were engaged in flood
ing the sidewalk with copious expec-
torations. Of course they knew moth
ing of the ordinance, and resented the
invasion of what they deemed their
personal rights with all the muscular
strength at their command. All of
which shows, observes the Chicago
Record Herald, the folly of attempting
to improve mems manners by city
ordinances. Legislation never yet
made gentleman out Of bour.
When the lawmakers invade the do
minion of personal decorum, they are
treading upon uncertain ground. The
only way an anticipating ordinance
can be justified is as measure of pub
lie health, to prevent the dissemina
ton of disease microbes in the sputa.
Such legislation has been enforced in
Boston, and the orders of the board of
health Of Chicago against eXpectorat-
ing in the street cars and places of
public assemblage have had a deter
rent effect. But the vile habit of cx-
pectorating in public places seems TO
go on unchecked.
