IndiEestion In Hoga.

Hogs, especially on succulent food,
are subject to indigestion, caused by
overlooking the stomach and conse-
quent fermentation of the food mass.
The popular correction for this is the
mixture of salt, lime and charcoal,
with or without wood ashes or with
wood ashes substituted for the lime.
1t is a good absorbent, deodorizer and
antiputrefactive. Every hog raiser
should keep an abundance Of 1t where
the hogs can take 1t at will.

very small, SO diminutive that they are
called mosquito bees. They gather guam

the forests on the Amazon, took two
quarts from one of the nests. In Jamaica.
where some of these amiable bees are also
found, they are called ''angelitos," name
given them by the original Spanish set

Some Australian dwarf bees-also IAN

because they are not sharp enough to

Connecticut Mythology.

Once upon a time-to be more pre-
else, In the latter part of the eighteenth
century-thre lived worthy Connect
cut divine named the Rev. Samuel
Peters. Peters was picturesque per-
sonage in his way, but his fame rests
entirely upon the fact that he wrote a
book This is one of the most mar
velous works ever issued from the
press.
1t was Mr.. Peters, for example, who
first discovered and made known to
the world that the founder of Yale
college was a Rev. Thomas Peters.

the "cuba" evidently the ancestors of
the jabberwock) roamed wild in the
Connecticut forests, and it is also from
Mr.. Peters that we first learn of the
famous incursion of the Windham
frogs.
But it was in the early jurisprudence
Of Connecticut that this expatriate
made his most interesting discoveries.
He informed his English readers-and
most of them believe the story de-
voutly to this day-that the citizens
of the state were forbidden by law
to make mince pies, to play on any in
strument of music except the drum,
trumpet or jewsharp. and that every
male must have his hat cut round, "ac-
cording to cap" the model preferably

Some old snuff takers still employ a
small horn spoon to convey the pungent
particles to their nostrils. At banquet
in Edinburgh not many years ago the at
tention of the chairman was drawn to a
gentleman of the ancient school who had
a remarkable snuffbox with one of these
spoons. The box was handed round and
much admired, and several members of
the company put the spoon to its primi-
tive use with a pleasant sense of keeping
up old customs. Presently the owner
challenged them to guess what the spoon
was made of. Vainly they tried fish and
fowl, the tusk of the elephant, the horn
of the mountain goat and were not a lit
tie startled when the old gentleman told
them, with a pleasant smile, that the
spoon was made from the wristbone of a
notorious murderer who had been hanged
about forty years before.

THE QUEER CHlNAMAN.

His left hand is the place of honor.
He carries pig instead of driving him.
He whitens instead of blackens his
shoes.
His favorite present to parent is a

He keeps out of step in walking with
others.
He shakes his own hands instead of his
friends.
He puts on his hat in salutation when
we take it off.
He prefers a wooden rather than a
feather pillow.
He rides with his heels instead of his
toes in the stirrups.
He deems it polite to ask a casual call
er's age and income.
His long nails are not a sign of dirti-
ness, but responsibility.
His visiting card is eight and some
times thirty inches long.
He often throws away the fruit of the
melon and eats the seeds.
His merits often bring title not to
himself, but to his ancestors.
His women folk are often seen in trou-

He feels it unmannerly to look supe-

How she bore herself on her journey
along the via dolorosa of the revolution,
which led from. the Conciergerie to the
Place de la Guillotin, the world knows.
No recorded pilgrim of the long train that
Jared that way In those heroic days
showed a sublimer Indifference to its ter
rors. A spectator who saw her as she
passed the Pont Neuf wrote of her as
standing erect and calm in the tumbril,
her eyes shining, her color fresh and bril-
liant, with a smile on her lips as she tried
to cheer her companion, an old man over
come by the fear of approaching death.
At the foot of the scaffold she asked for
pen and paper to write the strange
thoughts that were rising in her. When
the executioner grasped her arm to assist
her in mounting the steps, she drew back
and begged that her companion might be
allowed to precede her. The custom of
the guillotine allowed ner, as a woman,
the privilege of dying first, but she wish
ed to spare the infrm old man a scene
that would augment his fears. Samson
objected.

smile. you cannot deny lady her last
request"
Her wish was granted.-Editor of Her

.Take care Of the pennies and the pounds

Take care of what you eat, when you
eat, and how you eat, and your stomach
will take care of its self. But who takes

Folding Beds.

All purchasers of folding beds do not
buy them solely for the sake of saving
room. According to manufacturer
some people with ample house room al
command buy them. for one reason. sc
that the rooms in which they are placed
can be put to other uses than as bed
rooms.
This manufacturer mentioned one
New York family in whose house are
eleven fine folding beds. Any room in
the house designed for and equipped as
a sleeping room could easily be trans
formed from bedroom to one that had
no appearance of sleeping apartment
whatever.
There are produced nowadays folding
beds of one kind and another that are
sold at low prices. but the most costly
of the finer folding beds may easily be
pretty dear affairs.
The manufacturer told of one elab-
orately designed and finished folding
bed that cost $1,000. the cost of the
carving alone having been $3OO.-New

hands has conceived the idea of hunting
through the works of all the well known
English novelists for the purpose of gath
ering all the adjectives with which to

his labor is that kisses can be as follows:
Cold, warm, icy. burning, chilly, cool, low

full, passionate, aromatic with tears be-
dewed, long, soft hasty, Intoxicating. dis
sembling, delicious, pious. tender. beguil-

Doctors, Vacations.

''What a contrast the legal profession

days" said a well known New York
physician the other day. A medical man
rarely, until he has attained the highest
position, thinks of taking a clear two
months and the greater number regard
themselves as exceptionally fortunate il
they get clear three weeks, whereas
lawyers and judges take their three
months at a stretch, and as much as an
other month more at odd times.

has been trying in vain for five years to
see a theater. Another told me lately
that he had not been out of New York

for myself, since | took my degree thirty
years ago l don't think I've had a years

"Take that boy of mine for a sample.
After bunch Of experiences with others
l hired this one and tried to tame him by
taking an interest in him. His mother is
a poor woman. One evening when it was
raining l sent him home in Il cab. He
had told me it was his mothers birthday,

1.-TWO hours later the cabby came back
and said the boy had stopped on the way

him in to take drink. Then the boy
tried to bride the cabby to drive him to a
theater, and when the cabby refused the
boy cursed him and banged, his feet
against the doors of the cab.

Enemies of the Fishes,

Hatchers of trout and other fish fine
that the fnny tribe has more enemies
than they ever supposed before they came
into position to know. Mink and weasel:
will enter pond and, using their claws
as gaff hooks, pull numbers of the fry out
of water. Hawks, kingfshers and herons
are always on the watch, to say nothing
of tame ducks and geese.
A fayorite method of killing the former
sort of marauders is to line the ponds
with tin. Then a mink or weasel getting
into the water will find it impossible tc
climb out and may be shot or speared as
desired.
Hawks and kingishers have a way OF
alighting on some convenient perch near
the pond. The fish hatcher makes a
perch for them by erecting a pole with a
groove in the top, cut so that steel trap
will just fit into It. When the next bird
alights, it is caught and killed.
