ONE OF THE FAMILY,
Pig that Really Won the Regard Of.
Traveller.


Among the curious ideas of the Per.
slams is the belief that the presence
of pig in the stable is good for the
horses health. Doctor Wills, the an.
thor of the book entitled "In the Land
of the Lion and Sum-" writes that as
soon as he arrived at Shiraz his groom
asked permission to buy little pig
These wild pigs are strangely thin.
and as active as terrier. They are
very affectionate, and show their affec.
tion strongly to the horse or groom.
They all answer to the name of Mar.
jahn." When the horses leave the
yard they are accompanied by the pig.
which is inconsolable if left alone in
the stable, and shows his grief by
piercing squeals, and by attempting
to scratch his way out. AS long as
even one horse is in the stable piggy
is perfectly happy.
When we all camped out on account
of cholera, l marched some twenty
eight miles. Marjahn never left the
heels of my horse, and was able to
keep up when l galloped, but any
thing over half mile was too much
for him; he was not, of course, in
such high training as his wild rela-
tives, and when distressed he would
commence to squeal, and would look
up in a most appealing manner.
He remained with us in camp. never
leaving my horses, with which he was
on the best of terms. l used often
to put the horse to speed when out
for rides, and on Marjahn's beginning
to sQueal the horse would look round
to slacken his pace, and shrdl shrd
and attempt to slacken his pace, and
Marjahn, if really left behind, would
show great distress.
The pig would battle in the river and
show delight in wallOwing and SWIM
ming. AS he got bigger he used to,
charge strange dogs that chased him,
and was always more than match
for them, generally turning aggressor,
and obstinately pursuing them with
many grunts and shrieks. g.
Marjahn, when fine young boar Of
three years, was following my horse
one day as / raced him against
friend, forgetting in the excitement the
distress of the pig. Our gallop being
over, saw a black spot far away on
the plain. 1t was poor Marjahn. who
had burst blood-vessel in his attempt
to keep up with us. When we reach
ed him he was quite dead. | never
cared to keep another pig, and the
groom's grief was very great.

General Baldwin has denied that he

DON'T DROP BEHIND.
No Woman Should Lose Her Hold Upon
Progress and Growth,

No Woman Should Lose Her Hold Upon
Progress and Growth.
Oftentimes one hears woman COM
plain that she is losing her hold on
progress-that she hasn't time to read
and to keep up generally.
Why has she dropped behind? Some
women do not. Under any circum-
stances, amid any surroundings, they
develop. Take them into log cabin
In the wilderness and they return to
civilization and talk so delightfully."-
about their experiences that everyone
envies them the chance OF the wilder
ness and the joys of the log cabin. In
their success one finds n hint of the
possibility OF catching up with the
procession, and keeping up with 1t, too.
What is their secret of progress, where
other women fall out Of the line of
advance?
One woman, relates Harper's Bazaar,
who lived in the most out-of-the-
place In all Texas for some ten years,
and came back more charming than
she went, explained 1t thus: II never
let either my dress or my mind get
careless. There is great deal In
girding up ones loins. as the Bible
advises, and keeping them girded.
Once loosen everything and you dis.
solve In sloth. and lose ground before
you know It." She was determined
not to drop behind, and. having the

A woman attorney recently told a
New York professional club that in
every law case woman is either the
motive, the instrument or the victim.
The author Of this interesting theory

There is belief among certain per-
sons that children can be reared without
labor. This is not so and can never
be so. Women cannot successfully rear
families by proxy. They cannot turn
over their children to nurses, governes.
ses and school teachers. Many women
do this, however. and society here and
there gathers the dragon teeth in the
harvest of crimes against society and
moral laws. Work is the greatest moral
force In the world. Mothers who de-
sire to see their children happy, to
see them useful, to see them worthy
members of society hold fast to the doc.

1t has been said that If you would
know a man thoroughly you must ex-
anime his air-castles. The saying Is
true also Of nations. The Moors, for
instance, have always had their vision
Of reconquest of Spain. The issue of
the war between the United States and
Spain is said to have Quickened the
hope. The disposition Of the Sultan Of
Morocco to favor European inventions
Is said to be due to the desire to quail
ify his people for the recovery of the
territory lost long ago. The title-deeds
Of lands and the keys to dwellings from
which their forefathers were expelled
are cherished, as If their renewed use
were only question of time. Only an
air-castle, 1t may be, but an alluring
structure Of the Imagination.

There is no excuse for tipping in the
United States and workmen who accept
tips do injury to themselves. Pullman
car porters and some others are said
to receive small wages, as they are en-
pected to make up the remainder in
fees. 1t is reproach on any corpor-
alton, firm or individual to pay low
wages with the expectation that en-
ployes will make money from tips.
They should be absolutely prohibited.

One of the good things that has come
out of England is bunch of pictures
Of titled women. There are portraits
of Countesses, Duchesses and ladies Of
various degrees of blue-bloodedness
and all Of them are surrounded by chill
dren-their own children-and it Is
stated that motherhood is regarded as
a badge Of honor by the so-called up
per classes" of England. Under ordi-
nary circumstances these women would
not be entitled to credit. There was
time when marriage and family of
bouncing children We're matters of
course. Then came the strenuous So
cial period, and great many women
discovered that they could not care
for large families and meet their So
cial demands. Some chose the wiser
course and played the part that ma
ture had allotted to them. They reared
their children as only good mothers
can, and found great happiness in the
circles in which they We're queens by

maternity for receptions, balls, theater

Not infrequently one hears remarks
upon the growing lack of interest in
churches and in religion, and upon the
decreasing number Of men who attend
religious meetings. Two incidents,
widely separated geographically, show
how inadequate and unjust such gen.
eralizatiOn may be. The Convention for
Religious and Moral Education met
lately in Chicago. Not only in num-
bers and In the representative characte
Of the attendance did the convention
surprise even those most interested, but
also in the number of men who attend
ed and listened and took an active
part. Three thousand people We're
present when the convention opened,
and eight out ten of them were men.
Some, naturally were ministers, but
more were laymen-men engaged in
business, in teaching, in the practice of
the professions. Many of them had
come many miles to tell what was In
their hearts, and to learn more about
the spiritual and moral life. While this
convention was In session a course of
lectures was in progress in Boston. The
subject was the great religious lead
ers Of America. Men of widely differ
ing beliefs set forth the story of such
diverse personalities as Edwards,
Charming, Bushnell, Beecher, William
Penn. The time of these lectures was
at half past four, of an afternoon In
the middle Of the week. Some one
asked one of the sponsors for the course
why so unusual an hour had been chos-
en-. Because" he said, "a great many
business men expressed desire to
hear the lectures, and that time was
convenient for them"
