A HOGS MOUTH.

The Way 1t Enables the Animal to
Eat Hickory Nuts.
. "People often wonder how it is that
hog can get all the kernel out of 4
hickory nut, or any other kind Of nut
for that matter, without swallowing
any Of the SHE'LL" said q man from the
country, but as matter Of fact there
is nothing mysterious about the proc
ess. Mind you. hogs don't swallow any
of these harder substances. They get
rid of them, and then it is just as easy
for them to get rid of the shell Of nut
as it is for q man or a squirrel. You
might think because a hog crushes
the nut into small fragments that he
would necessarily swallow good por-
ton of the hull. But he doesn't do any
such thing.
1T is a conceded fact among men
who know anything about the subject
that the horse Is the most perfectly con-
structed animal in the world, consider
ing the purposes for which the horse is
used and it's method and habits In life.
But l want to put in good word for
the hog when it comes to the thing Of
cracking and eating nuts without get
ting any Of the harder substances into
the stomach. The horse has very fine
teeth. The back teeth particularly are
finely constructed with q view Of ena-
bling the horse to crush its food we'll
before passing it into the stomach.
These heavy grinders, heavily set In
the horses jaw, are looked upon as
marvels. So they are.
"But what's the matter with the
teeth Of the hog? What's the matter
with that marvellous process by which
they separate the kernel Of the nut
from the hull? It has occurred to me
that this Is no small achievement, and
nature Is at least entitled to some sort
Of tribute for her skill In making this
result possible. In the first place the
hogs tongue is more sensitive than
would be supposed, and it can easily
detect the harder from the softer sub
stances. BY some sort Of process the
hog Is able to work the bits Of hickO-
" nut hull over to the sides Of its
mouth, the tongue being used for the
purpose, and here they are thrown out
at the corners. Probably you have no
ticed that the corners of hogs mouth
are somewhat different from the cor
ners Of the mouths of other animals
The lines of the mouth do not end 30
pointedly, and hence it is much easier
thing for the hog to work the harder
substances which he does not care to
swallow out through these little open
ings."-New Orleans Times-Democrat

Time In JaDaR.

The japanese divide the twenty-four
hours into twelve periods, Of which six
belong to the night and six to the day,
their day beginning at sunrise and end
ing at sunset
Whether the day or night be long OF
short, there are always six periods In
each. To attain this the characters or
numerals on the scale are adjustable.
Two Of them are set, one to agree
with the sunrise, the other with sunset,
and the four characters between them
divide the space into equal portions.
Thus when the period Of daylight is
longer than the night the day hours
will be proportionately longer than
those at night.
Another popularity in their scale Is
that they use only six characters. those
from four to nine, and these read back
ward.-London Express.

Catarrb Of the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded; when
food is taken into it that fails to digest, ii
decays and iufiames the mucous mem
brane, exposing the nerves, and causes
the glands to secret mucin, instead OF the
natural juices of digestion. This is called
catarrh of the stomach. For years l sui.
fered with catarrh of the stomach, caused
by indigestion. Doctors and medicines
failed to benefit me until l used kodol
dyspepsia cure.--J. R. Rhea, Coppell, Tex

To be Moved to Lexington Jail.

From the Columbia correspondence to
the Sunday News we clip the following:
Counsel for James H. Tillman stated to-
night that he would be transferred to the
Lexington Jail on Monday. There is no
special reason for this, it is stated, except
that the prisoner wants a change. The
afidavits and other papers in connection
with the change of venue proceedings
were shipped to Lexington to-day by ex-
press. Senator Tillman was here to-day
and called upon James H. Tillman."

Bjornson was once asked by friend
upon what occasion in his life he had
taken the greatest pleasure in know
ing that he was a poet. ut was when
a delegation from the Right came to
my house in Christiania." he answered,
"and smashed all the windows. Be-
cause when they had thus attacked me
and were starting for home again they
felt that they ought to sing something,
and 80 they began to sing, Yes, we
love this land of ours. They couldn't
do anything else. They had to sing the

The Carat.

We talk Of q diamond being 80 many
carats in weight. The carat was origi-
nally the seed Of the Abyssinian carat
flower. These seeds are very equal In
size and so were at one time used In
weighing gold and precious stones.
Today the carat as applied to gold
means simply the twenty-fourth part
of the weight Of any piece Of gold or
alloy Of gold.
