PETER THE WILD BOY,
tie WAS Caught In Tree in a German
Forest in 1928 and Taken
to England.

Peter, the Wild Boy, who was
brought to England, was found in
1925, in the woods of Hamelin. 2s
miles from Hanover, walking on his
hands and feet, climbing up trees
like squirrel, and feeding upon
grass and moss of trees.
Being presented to the king while
at dinner, his majesty made him
taste of all the dishes that were
served up at the table, and. in order
to bring him by degrees to human
diet, commanded that he should have
such provisions as he might like
best. He was at that time Judged
to be about u or 13 years old.
Afterward he made his escape into
the same woods, but was again
caught on tree, which was obliged
to be first sawed down.
He was brought to England in
April, 1926, and again introduced into
the presence of his majesty and
many of the nobility. He could not
speak, and scarce seemed to have any
idea of things.
However, it was observed that he
took most notice of his majesty, and
of the princess, giving him her glove,
which he tried to put on his own
hand, and seemed much pleased, as
he was with gold watch which was
held to tick at his ear.
At first he appeared uneasy to
wear any clothes, and he could not
be brought to lie upon a bed, but
sat in a corner of the room; whence
it is conjectured that he used to sleep
on tree for security against wild
beasts. However, he walked upright,
and even sat for his picture.

don.

The stranger in any city half a hum
dred years old, if he knew anything
of the city's history, would learp
from many of the signs that the sec
ond and third generations had sue
ceeded to the business of father and
grandfather. 1t is especially true of
New York. The New York Times men
tions some peculiar signs, and re-
lates the following, which we take
to be true, although we do not vouch
for it:
A Londoner, who had strolled about
the streets of the city with New
Yorker who called his attention to
some of the signs of sons, agreed
that in this respect New York was
very like London, but in neither city
was there any such sign as he saw
in one of the old English towns few
lis. The sign reads:
JOHN LITTLEJOHN'S SONS AND LIT
| TIE LITTLE L1TTLEJOHN, DOO-
LITTLE LITTLEJOHN AND
JOHN LITTLE).
According to the Londoner, the first
Littlejohn and Little were partners.
the former gave his first son his
partner family name, and Little gave
his boy his partners Christian name.
Littlejohn's second son was named,
for his mothers family, Doolittle.
The three sons succeeded to their ia
thers' business, hence the sign is en-
tirely correct, and the Londoner was
right in saying that the successors
had no ilsention of being funny"
when they had their sign written as
it appears.

st. Jacobs Oil for Chest-Colds, BrOn-
chitis, Group and PIeurisy.

An outward application for bronchial diff
fculties is many times far more effective
than syrups, cough mixtures, cod liver oil,
&C., simply because it penetrates through
to the direct cause, which is, as rule, an
accumulation of matter or growth tightly
adhering to the bronchial tubes.
st. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those
wonderful penetrating powers, enables it
to loosen these adhesions and to induce free
expectoration. Cases have been known
where expectations have been examined
after st. Jacobs Oil has been applied, and
the exact formation was clearly shown,
where the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All irrita-
ton of the delicate mucous membrane of
the bronchae is quickly removed by the
healing and soothing properties of st. ia
cobs Oil. In cases of Group and whoop-
ing cough in children st. Jacobs Oil will be
found superior to any other remedy.
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the
world. 1t is clean to use-not at all greasy
or oily, as its name might imply. For rheu-
matism, govt, sciatica, neuralgia, cramp,
pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis,
soreness, stiffness, bruises, toothache, head
ache, backache, feetache, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the shoulders,
pains in the limbs, and all bodily aches and
pains it has no equal. 1t acts like magic.
Safe, sure, and never failing.

NAMING THE FARMS.
su1ting from the establishments
of Rural Delivery.

Letter boxes now appear at the
gateways of farms throughout many
districts in Illinois, along the coun-
try mail routes recently established
by the government, and one of the
first results of the innovation is de-
cidedly interesting.
No sooner had the mail boxes ap-
peared than the farmers began to
take a deeper interest in the gates
and the general style of entrances to
their homes. The boxes were new,
looked fresh, and seemed to give a
dignity to the gateposts that they
never possessed before. The con-
trast, in the great majority of cases.
was pleasing, particularly to the
womenfolk and the younger men,
and most of the farmers set about
making improvements which would
bring the surroundings up to the
standard of the letter box.
This was one step in the right di-
rection. Then it was natural that the
mail carrier sometimes made mis-
takes, because there was neither
name nor number to guide him in the
delivery of letters, newspapers or
packages. Some of the farmers
nailed up rude shingles" bearing the
names of the occupants of the house
at the upper end of the lane. Other
farmers ordered neatly painted signs
bearing the name of the head of the
house.
Now it appears from letter adj
dressed to the Milledgeville Free
Press, progress has taken a more de-
cided step along this line. The farm
ers in the vicinity are christening
their places and displaying the names
chosen in handsomely painted signs
on the gateposts. 81 have concluded
to name my place Midway Farm, +"
says the writer of the letter referred
to. mot because it is sporty or
tough, but because it is located Just
half way between Milledgeville and
Chadwick, also half way between
Lanark and Coleta.'' Z
Perhaps we are at last upon the
threshold of the time, so long looked
forward to in the United States, when
country life will take upon itself the
habiliments that adorn,it in the older
lands. Perhaps the mail box and the
farm name are but the precursors of
other improvements, in the agricul-
tural regions, which VIII give the
United States cour try homes with
beautiful surroundings.-Ch Chicago In

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

"Any old thing" will not do in these
days-the package must be neat, clean
and attractive.
If you wish to transplant trees this
fall it will be best to wait till the leaves
have fallen.
The raspberry and blackberry
bushes should have the old wood cut
out before being laid down for the
winter.
The freight, carriage and package on
poorly packed fruit, or that which is
of poor quality, cost as much as in
the case of we'll packed fruit and that
of good quality. The proceeds are
more on the latter, hence the profit is
greater.
When caring for the vegetables do
not forget the house plants that may
need reporting or that must be taken
from out-of-doors to a warmer place
If the good wife or daughter sees to
this you see that she has a "lift" on
the heavy part, getting the soil ready
and carrying the plants in.-Farmers'

How to Cure a BaIky Horse.

When a horse balks, no matter how
badly he sulks or how ugly he is, do
not beat him, do not throw sand in his
ears; don't use a rope on his front
legs, or even burn straw under him.
Quietly go and pat him on the head
a moment;- take a hammer, or even
pick up a stone in the street; tell the
driver to sit still, take the reins and
hold them quietly while you lift up
either front foot. Give each nail
light tap, and a good smart tap on the
frog; drop his foot quickly, and then
chirpto him to go. In 90 eases out of
100 the horse viii go right along about
his business, but the driver must keep
his lines taut and not pull or jerk him
back. = John Hafnes, in Farm and
