Hatred Of Pigs.

a recent traveller in SOmali-
land gives the following curious
incident showing the MOhamme.
dan hatred for pigs: eve shot
two wart hogs, one particularly
big boar. Alan wished TO keep
the tusks, but, of course none of
the SOmalis would touch the un.
clean animal. AT last a bride OF
two rupees induced the Midgan
woman to chop the tusks out with
Ratchet Even then she would
not touch them and with the help
of two sticks. which she used like
pair of tongs, put them on a
camel. Then there was a long dis
pute about the Ratchet. No one
would touch it; it had been defiled.
OF course this was pure affecta-
ton and playing to the gallery on
the ayah's part. At home with
her native tribe she would have
gorged all the pigs she could get.
But it hattered the SOmalis and
we marched off, the ayah holding
the hatchet at arms length as if
it were going to bite her"

institution that has evidently
come to. stay, and The writer has
seen one instance, that seems to
HOnriSh aPace, of a regular seal
shore school, all the pupils sitting
around the teacher on the sands.
In most cases a mother who has
arrived at seaside place for the
summer months has not hitherto
found il convenient or expedient
to send her young people to reg
ular school, for to do so would be
to deprive them of their full share
of sun, fresh air. and sea breeze.
But at FOlkestOne and certain
other places qualified teachers hit
upon the happy idea of taking pu
4 pills by the week, and agreeing to
instruct these in the open air to
such an extent as would at least
keep up the knowledge already
gained by their pupils. Such a
course relieves the mother in more
senses than one, and it does not
destroy the holiday sense in the
child.
In most cases teacher and pm,

morning. and then they troop of
TO some quiet spOt-genprally Il
different one every day-where
they, in the main, engage in the
most pleasurable kind of lessons
such as reading aloud, holding

Similarity to Water Caused Amusing
lacident In the Senate.

Incident In the Senate.
A forner member ofcongress from
Connecticut related to me very
amusing incident he witnessed on
his first visit to congress in 1850, says
a writer in the Denver Republican.
He had a position in the lobby, just
over the scat of Mr. Webster, who
was to make his great speech on the
compromise question, but before he
began his speech page put upon his
desk pitcher and a tumblcr, from
which he refreshed himself several
times in the course Of the long speech
he made and at its conclusion Isaac
J.. Walker, democratic senator from
Wisconsin, arose to reply, and and as
his seat was next TO Mr.. Webster he
reached over, and pouring out a glass
OF water, as he supposed, drank it
and in few moments such splut-
tering and gasping as followed dis
closed the fact that the Massachu-
seits senator had been inspired in his
greatest effort by Byron's source Of
inspiration-gin! The shouts Of
laughter which followed, in which
Mr.. Webster joined most heartily,
and the confusion and loss OF breath
entailed on Mr.. Walker, caused him
10 WELD the floor to some one else.
Silas Wright was another of those
statesmen who needed stimulant

which Foot to Fit First q Problem
for the Clerk.

for the Clerk.
"The question of which foot to
fit first is an important one to US, /"
said the shoe salesman, as he
tugged to get small pair of Ok
fords on large foot, according to
the New Orleans Times-Demo.
crat. cit may seem strange to
YOU, but it is rarely that we do
not experience some trouble in
fitting one foot while the other is
easily covered. A popular belief
obtains that the left foot of every
person is the hardest to fit, and
consequently, many shoe clerks al
ways try a shoe on that foot first.
Ii is not true, however, according
to my observation, that there is
any infiexible rule as to which
foot to try first. 1t is true, never
theless, that in majority of
eases il you succeed in fitting the
left foot YOU will have no trouble
with the right. My practice is to
try both feet before pronounce
a pair of shoes a perfect fit. Then
| am sure of avoiding any mistake
growing out of peculiarities of
foot formation. No two people
have feet formed exactly alike,
and the shoe salesman who thinks
so and is governed accordingly,
will meet up with many com
plants. For some time pom
dered over the problem of fitting
shoes to feet, and especially as
to why the left foot should be
considered the standard by which
to be governed. The only ration
al theory l have ever been able to
evolve is very simple one when
you come to consider it. Nine
out of ten people you meet are
right-handed, as we say. About
one person in ten, or perhaps the
per cent. is even less than that,
uses his left hand. If YOU will
observe person who uses the
right hand when he or she is
standing and talking, they invari.
ably rest their weight on the left
foot. And vice versa, left hand.
ed person will rest his or her
weight on the right foot. The re-
suit is that with right handed peO-
pie the left foot is probably a
fraction larger than the right
foot, and the shoe clerk must in.
cyitably find this to be a fact
sooner or later. That, in my Opin-
ion, IL the explanation of the
common belief that the left foot
IS the standard to go by in the fit
ing of shoes. But as l have al
'eady said, there is no rule that
is absolutely safe to follow, and
my plan is always To fit both feet |
