more than the efforts of the Toledo Golf Club to
undermine it. The movement started by the players

The FloE@la "razorback" is the hog
indigenous to this climate and soil. He
is usually large of limb and fleet of
foot, being the only known porker that
can outrun a darby. He has a tail of
Wondrous length, which, while he is in
active motion, he twists into the tight
est corkscrew, but with which while
quietly feeding he raps his leathery
sides much in the same manner that
the docile COW uses her tail.
He is self supporting. He earns his
own living and thrives equally we'll in
the highWoods, in the flatwoods, in the
hummocks and in the marshes. He
subsists upon anything he can find
above the earth or underneath it's sur
face. He has a clear, farseeing eve
and is very sensitive of hearing. Ma
ture has equipped him with a snout al
most as long as the beak of the wild
pelican of Borneo, with which he can
penetrate the earth many inches in
quest of worms, snakes and insects.
lie is the most intelligent of all the
hogs and is likewise the most coura-

After Rudyard Kipling had spent
day or two in Buffalo in the eighties
he thus described it: Buffalo Is a
large village Of quarter of a million
inhabitants situated on the seashore,
which is falsely called Lake Erie. Once
clear Of the main business streets you
launch upon miles and miles of as
phalted roads running between cot
tages and cut stone residences Of those
who have money and peace. When you
have seen the outside of few hundred
thousand Of these homes and the In
side of few score, you begin to
understand why the American does not
take a deep interest in what they call
politics and why he Is so vaguely and
generally proud Of the country that en-
ables him to be so comfortable. How
can the owner Of dainty chalet, with
smoked oak furniture, imitation Vene-
tlan tapestry curtains, hot and cold
water laid en- bed Of geraniums and
holyhocks, baby crawling down the
veranda and self acting, twirly
Whirly hose gently kissing over the
grass in the balmy dusk of an August
eVenlng-how can such a man despair
OF the republic"

The Home OF The Goat.

AT recent celebration down in the
First Ward," says "The Philadelphia
Record" "a number of Italian school
children who had very musical voices
sang the 'Star Spangled Banner As
many of them knew but little OF English
the teacher who had undertaken their
drilling carefully explained TO Jhlm the
meaning of each line. In the refrain they
rather baked over the line Long may it
wave The word wave puzzled them, as
they seemed to associate wave with
water. But the teacher, flag in hand,
demonst ated to them that wave meant
to float IN the air. Float seemed to
them a much better word, and when the
chorus was again tried it went this way,
much to the patient teacher disgust:

They Like Fat Girls In Tunis.

A Tunsian girl has no chance of mar
rage unless she tips the scale at 200
pounds, and to that end she commences
to fatten when she is Is years old. She
takes aperients and eats great deal
of sweet stuff and leads sedentary
life to hasten the process. Up to 10 she
is very handsome, but at 20 what an
immense, unwieldy mass Of fat she be-
comes! She waddles, or, rather, undu-
lates, along the street, Her costume is
very picturesque, especially if she be
of the richer class. They are clothed
In fine silks of respondent hues of a
bright red, yellow or green and wear d
sort of conical shaped headdress, from
which depends loose white drapery.
Turkish trousers and dainty slippers,
the heel Of which barely reaches the
middle Of the foot, complete the cos
tune.
