HEEDED...A BOOK Of RULES.

The proprietor of an apartment house
IN New York has found it advisable to
formulate rules of etiquette for his ten
ants Some of these rules read as fol-
lows:
Don't feel that you are forced to re-
ceive other tenants in your apartment
house as social equals just because
they pay the same remit as you do.
Don't feel obliged to call on Mrs A.
because your children and hers play
together. That doesn't make the par
ents acquainted

Red Hogs Increasing.

Did you ever stop to think how
rapidly these red hogs have come into
prominence? asked Tom Mahony the
other day referring to a very prime lot
of Duroc-J Jerseys. This started a train
of "Reminiscences with the scribe who has
walked the planks of the hog house al
most daily for the last thirteen years.
1t has hardly been given thought, but
1t is a fact that scarcely more than ten
years ago a load of red hogs we're re-
garded as curiosity and old traders
would walk from one of the yards to
the other TO see a load Of Durocs. With
in that comparatively short space of
time the pure reds and cross breds have
come into such prominence that they
are almost as prominent as the black
haired breeds, or dn fact, there are
more of them than there are OF the
once popular Chester Whites. Many
buyers and slaughterers do not like
the red hogs, claiming that they are
coarse grained but the fact that they
are prolific and hardy has quickly
brought them into popularity with
producers in many sections and cross
ed with the Berkshires or Poland
Chinas they make a very useful grade
of hogs.

Some prefer Individual houses, but all
want individuality.
| There is a certain similarity in their
method of handling the SOW. All dir
ectly or indirectly, advise exercise 50
as to insure good condition and healthy

| of the need of light feeding after far
rowing until the SOW is ait her natural
| element again.
| Cleanliness is not to be overlooked
| in the care of the SOW. Some as the
reader will have noted, advise that the
quarters of the sow and litter be clean
| ed twice a. day and fresh bedding placed
| therein. Obviously this is vastly more
than the great per cent of sows and lit
ters get. We venture that some get
one and more none. AT the same time
there is another point that must be con
sidered from the standpoint of bedding
and general management The wild
SOW, that is readily disturbed at the
first noise cannot be treated in the same
manner as the one accustomed to being
handled and having the attendant ap-
proach the litter. Cleanliness is inpor
tant but we are not sure but what
tameness comes first, for without the
latter there must always be some dam
ger to the pigs whenever an attendant
approaches the sow for any purpose
whatever.
English and American Mutton.
In England it is the custom OF the
mutton eaters to give preference to
meat from fat heavy lambs, conslmn-

FINALS produce more toot'hsome meat
that is possible with the hight animals,
and they do not seem to object over
there to the Inevitable waste of fat in
connection with cuts from heavy carr
casses. That class of meat is only
bought regularly in England by the
fairly well-to-do people and those who
correspond to our working class are
we'll satisfied to buy the inferior pieces
including heads, neck pieces and offaL
The reason the light weight sheep and

want to buy as many pieces to tn

on good authority that the supplies OF

mARylANo,s IlLITeRACy BILL.

"A Maryland elections bill which
awaits the governors signature to be-
come law, provides the removal from
the ballot of the name OF the party by
which the candidates TO be voted for
have been nominated Hereafter in
twelve of the Maryland counties the
panty names Will not appear upon the
0fficial ballot but lists will be conspic-
uously posted in every booth contain
ing the names of the candidates OF each
political party with designation of the
several offices for which they are can
dadates, so that voters may thereby be
aided in selecting the candidates for
whom they wish to vote.
These counties have large negro pop
ulations and high percentage OF ILL.,
terate and non-tax paying voters. The
bill is intended to give relief from the
place power in the hands Of the whites
who can read at least well enough to
distinguish the candidates of their own
party.
It is probable that under similar cir
cumstances there are few states that
would not approve the bill. The table
OF illiteracy appears to give it justi-
fication. In Calvert county. out of q
$50 registered voters over 1.400, or more
than one-half. can neither read nor
write. In Charles county out of 300
voters about 1850, or nearly one-half
county out of 400 voters about 1900
or nearly half. are illitefate In Prince
Georges the iliiterate vote is over o.
200 out of 7,26. In Anne Arundel 1t is
2,400 out OF 5000. In Worcester and
Somerset more than q third of the reg
istered vote is illiterate, and in Talbot
and Caroline it is about one-fourth. In
Howard the illiterate vote is about 500
out OF 1000. or 90 per cent.
The aaw of course. aims at the dis
REIMBURSEMENT of the negro republican
vote and is based upon democratic de-
sire to control Maryland absolutely.
Still it Is hard for northern republicans
to find fault with its provisions against
an illiterate and venal vote so long as
1t is justly administered to white and
black alike The rub lies in the condi-
tion.

The Commercial-Appeal of last

the first vice president in American
history to be nominated as his own

This is ambiguous, somewhat. II

would be renominated for vice.

If the Commercial Appeal means
to say that Roosevelt is the first

early days OF the republic, before
the people were divided into pc

stances in which a vice-president
became president. The first nomi'
nation for president ever made by

Van Buren,, who was vice-president
under Andrew jackson. This Con

was in 1886. Van Buren, was

Fought the World.

Gassenove G. Lee, of Washing.
ton, who is said to be a recognized
authority on Civil War statistics.
has recently prepared a table that
will prove very interesting to the
people of the South particularly.
The South furnished 100000
soldiers for the Confederate armies,
and 3I6,424 waite soldiers to the
Federal armies. Tuere were 1885,
OH negroes in The Northern armies
aud most Of these also came from
the south. There, then, were
half a million antagonists at home
to he contended with, and it looks
as if the whole world were drawn
from to suppress the 600, 900 sol
diers of the South.
The North got 10000 soldiers
from Germany and IA, 200 from
Ireland. She secured s. $500 Rrit-
ish Americans, 74,700 of other
nationalities. If to all this we add
the 1s6,0l7 negroes, we have a
total of 680,9l7. Thus the foreign
crs and negroes outnumbered by
$4,000 men the strength OF the
Southern army.
The North, in order to conquer
the South had TO enlist the &c.,
424 Sontberners, 1884, 900 foreign
ers, and 1S6,017 negroes. making
q total of 998,G13. Thus, the out
side assistance received by the
North was 66 per cent, greater
than the entire strength OF the
Southern Confederacy.
In addition to this, the country
outside of the Southern States con-
tributed 1,779,69l soldiers. 1t
took 2,78S,3 04 soldiers gathered

The J%apan-RuSsian War.

Perhaps no war between foreign
nations could interest the people
of the United States as does the
war now being waged between
Russia and Japan. The sympathy
of almost the entire people of our
country is strongly in favor of the
Japanese. There is almost no
friendly sentiment for Russia and
what little there is of this feeling
that exists arises from religious
predjudices. Our people have little
knowledge of either nation for very
few of them have travelled in either
country and there has not been any
intimate connection between either
Of them and our nation. We have
not learned much Of the people of
either country, their habits, Gus
toms and peculiarities, from actual
observation and it may be said
that we do not know anything
about them.
That a strong sympathy exists
for the Japanese, in it's unequal
struggle, amongst our people, in
all parts of the country, is undeni-
able. Why it exists is not easy to
tell. 1t, perhaps, arises from the
disposition of our people to take
the part of the under dog in the
fight or to back up the small boy
when he is imposed upon by the
overgrown bully.
This war has been on now for
nearly a year. 1t has been waged
with varying degrees of success
on either side. The accounts that
we receive are generally favorable
to the japanese. According to the
press dispatches they have given
the Russians several severe drub-
bings. From this source of infor-
nation the little Japs have done
some wonderful fighting and in all
the battles that. have been fought
they have been victorious. This
applies to both the land and naval
battles. If these reports are to be
believed the war ought now to be
rapidly drawing to a close. The
Russians have lost all their vessels
and the bulk Of their army, and,
according to these accounts, ought
now to be suing for peace.
The truth is that the outside
world hears but little that is au-
thentic about this war. Both sides
have proven themselves to be good
fighters. The scores are about even
between them. Both sides are Sc
cretive and the officials of eacn
army are very cautious about what
they give ont.
We do not think that our COM
merce will be ~disarranged to any
extent by either the progress or
the outcome of the war. Japan will
maintain its autonomy and our
commercial relations with it will
not be greatly disturbed. The price
of cotton has not been and will
not be affected, let the war end as
it may. SO our people may rest
easy, and all who feel much inter-
est in the war may rest assured
that when they read the glaring
head lines in the city dailies they
are inhaling a good deal of wind.
