The Behavior of Crowds.

The japanese papers are discussing
the comparative characteristics OF
British and Japanese crowds. The oc.
casion was furnished by the recent
festivities which have occurred in
Japan, more especially with the EN-.
peror of Japans visit to Kobe and
the opening of the Osaka Exhibition.
The Kobe Chronicle Is very compli-
nentary to the Japanese, and de-
clares: Probably there IS no country
in the world where such good order,
politeness, and consideration for
others and general decorun prevails
as in Japan in this matter"
"Horseplay is generally conspicuous
by it's absence, and drunkenness is a
comparatively rare concomitant."
The Kobe Chronicle does not like
the conduct of the Japanese police in
insisting upon the uncovering Of heads
long before the Emperor's carriage
comes in sight, but it likes the quiet
behavior of the crowd.
"The almost funeral silence with
which his Majesty the Emperor OF
Japan is greeted by his subjects natu.
rally seems somewhat strange to
Westerners. But the feeling Of loyal.
ty is there just the same. In both
countries the people will travel miles
and suffer innumerable inconven-
fences to honor their sovereign. and
though diametrically opposite in ex'
preston the spirit Is identical. The
Englishman enjoys his way Of honor
ing his King best. and the Japanese
prefers his own way; of the two, the
latter Is undoubtedly the more impres.
sive, and it is probable that the West
erner has more genuine appreciation
of the quietude Of a Japanese crowd
under such conditions than has the
Japanese for the shouting, crushing,
and craning of gathering Of West.

Artichokes For Hogs.

For the benefit of those WHO are
thinking of planting artichokes for
their hogs and have had no experience,
l will give conclusions l have come to
from over twelve years experience in
raising them for my own hogs. says
an experienced raiser.
First, 1 will say they are one of the
most economical and healthiest foods
one can grow. They will produce 3OO
to 500 bushels per acre with no more
work than it takes to raise q crop or
corn, after they are planted. The hogs
can and will do the harvesting when
given the liberty Of the field.
open the gate to my artichoke FIELD
and say TO my brood saws and shoats.
Go now and feast on artichokes. and
eat all you want. rs they have cost me
one TO one and one-half cents per
bushel and are now ready for you.
Then when cholera breaks out in the
country. which is generally caused
by overfeedinS new corn, l feel no un-
casiness, as 1 know that my hogs will
never become costive or feverish when
they have artichokeS
One acre for eacn twenty head OF
shoats is about the right proportion to
raise. so there will be no waste. In
this proportion consider them worth
S25 to $40 per acre for heg feed right
where they grow. 1t is not only the
quantity of feed. but the very best OF
healthy feed. and also the assurance
l have Of my hogs doing we'll
1t requires three to four bushels 10
plant on acre; they are cut one eye to
piece and planted like potatoes. only
about one-half as close in the row. or
say one piece every two and one-half
feet. 1t is not absolutely necessary TO
have the land fenced where you want
to plant artichokes for hogs, as they
can be turned onto to them and they
can be turned back into the lot after
they get their fill of artichokes.

A project is on foot by the Massa-

Cruelty to Animals to establish in
Boston a cemetery for the burial of
pet animals and birds. 1t is estimated
that plot Of ground large enough for
the purpose can be secured for $4,000,
yielding an annual income to pay for
the caretaker, and subscriptions are
now solicited. One Massachusetts, wo-

The police were notified and both
stairways were guarded TO prevent the
mans escape. When the police arrived,

tower was found open, however, and 1t

ic member Of the house and senate Of

seat had not previously been contested.
In each case the allegations are of fraud
and intimidation at the polls, miscounts
of the ballots and allowing men to vote
who were not legal voters. One charge
is that false and misleading literature
was circulated among the voters in the
various legislative districts so that vot-
ers who would have voted the Republi-
can ticket We're misled into voting the
Democrat ticket.
This move is made to checkmate the
contests fled by the Democrats against
