Required It.

Judge ,saunderson, who is pract;c,nr

George AIDE, the humorist, relates Sue
AIDE was peculiar character. in his
younger years" says the Judge He made
my office sort of loating place during
the little time he spent in loafng. He was
employed on a farm owned by banker.
One day he walked into the Office and said
to me:

thing funny was coming from AIDE.
Well he replied. he doesn't ask
man to do days work in ten hours-he
gives him 49,
As boy we didn't suppose that AIDE
would amount to much,' continued the
Judge, though his drollery was always
amusing"

is A VERY TRYING ORDEAL
Why Men Get So Tired When Being
Fittedsby the Tailor for
New Clothes.

did you ever watch a man having a
suit of clothes tried on?" asked down
town tailor a few days ago of one Of
his customers, who was standing pa
tiently as every crease in the newly
made coat was being analysed in order
that it might be smootned out in the
finishing.
"No?' continued the man with the
tape measure, according to the Wash
ington Star. We'll, you will never un-
derstand what it is to have tailor-made
clothes tried on until you make point
of watching some one else. You can't
understand by going through the oper-
alton yourself. Are you aware that
you have been gaping like man work
inc into the small hours and longing
for his bed? You didn't know what
made you SO sleepy? Now, I'll tell you
it's the measuring that does it. It's
nothing peculiar to you. Why it is /
don't know, but man who can stand
the strain of hours of physical exercise,
or who can sit at his desk engaged in
the most trying mental work all day
long without showing fatigue, will go
all to pieces in Is minutes under the
hands of his tailor.
Il usually give a strong man Is min
utes. to get played out. At the end of
that time he begins to cape and he
stretches as much as he can without
throwing the tailor entirely away from
him. Then his fatigue grows rapidly.
Many man has fallen down before he
was aware how entirely exhausted he
has been under the ordeal of posing for
the tailor. Not long ago one of my GUS
toners, weighing over 800 pounds, and
man reputed to have extraordinary
strength, fell fiat on the floor and near
~ crushed me in going down. l tell
you, you have to watch a man after he
has been standing in this way for lis
minutes.
The worst Of it is men do not under
stand how soon they become khausted
standing erect without moviiE. Usual
ly when they begin to cape they try to
hide their fatigue. They don't under
stand how it is. They fight against it.
But it's no use Why is it they give out
standing quietly when they could walk
five miles without feeling tired?
I put that question to my physician
some time ago and he pulled down one
of his books on anatomy for me to
look at. He opened it at page on
which the muscular system was shown.
He pointed out the muscles that are
used in walking and in all classes OF
exercise. He showed how the back is |
rested bysa change of position. Then
he pointed out the muscles that are |
brought into play in the act of stand
ing erect. They are never used except |
by those whose duties require such |
standing for long periods of time. The
orderly develops them as he stands at |
an officers door. The clerk behind the |
counter learns to use them. The or
binary man at reception also finds |
what it is to stand erect and to use these |
to a certain extent, and he |
often wonders what it is that made him
go tired. But the height of develop
ment is only had in posing for the tailor.
The next time you have to stand for
your measure or to have clothing tried I
on, don't think it is unusual when you
find that you are ready to drop down
when the ordeal is over"

FEED FOR PIGS.
Improved Methods of Feeding
and good Food.

Improved hogs call s(loudly) for inn
| proved methods of feeding and for
best feeds. The cost Of such feeds will
| vary widely with farm conditions, but
| the pigs must be fed. Young pigs of
four to six weeks should have ground
feed or green feed given three times
each day. Later we can drop to two
feeds as supplements to the mothers
care and food supply. What shall we
feed?
The average farmer at this season
has only corn and grass for hogs. This
| is fairly good for hogs but we can not
| feed these SO well to pigs. Many feel
they are actually banlSrupting them
selves when forced to feed sound corn
to little pigs" They are, in meas
ure, right. It rarely pays. 1t fails to
pay because nothing else but mothers
milk is fed with the corn. A better
plan is to use shorts. bran, barley,
crushed oats or cotton seed meal with
the corn chops. Cotton seed meal?"
did we say cotton seed meal?" Yes,
feed cotton seed meal to the pigs, as
directed, and nothing but good will
come Of it. Feed little blood meal
to the young things-not more than
two teaspoonfuls per day to pig three
weeks old.
Which are the cheaper of these
things? When barley or wheat are on
the farm. feed these in preference to
buying. High priced?" Yes, but the
pigs are to be good ones and high
priced. Don't raise any other kind
even If you are forced to kill and
sell the pork yourself. Feed to three
week pigs crushed or ground wheat
and barley. They will not eat much.
When able to eat freely give them
these grains whole and scatter them
SO that the little fellows will chew
the grain. In case we need to buy,
current prices will have much to do
with the selection of the grain. When
prices are as follows we would suggest
the several rations noted below for
pigs four to twelve weeks old. Corn
80 cents per bushel, shelled oats 40
cents, wheat $1,20, bran $1.05, shorts
s1l5 per 100 pounds
Feed, Mixture No. Corn, 5 pounds;
wheat, 3 pounds; cotton seed meal, 2
pounds. Total, 10 pounds.
Mixture No. Corn, z pounds;
wheat bran, pounds. Total. 10
pounds.
Mixture No. 3-Corn, 8 pounds;
shorts, 2 pounds. Total 10 pounds.
Corn is quite cheap in above list
for feeding pigs when compared with
other grains, provided we DO not feed
It So freely as to be hurtfnl or take
the place of more strengthening
feed. The last ration given is, there
fore. the cheapest at9prices taken, be-
ca,se it admits Of the free use Of
corn and involves the use OF but lit
lie Of the higher priced stuffs from
which we select companion feeds for
tbe corn. We can arrange other ra-
tions equally as good from these same
feeds but probably the prices chosen

FIRE CAP ORDER VOID.
No Intention of Violating Charter,
Says Commissioner.

Fire Commissioner Hayes and Chief Croker issued
statements yesterday replying TO the criticism OF
the department for its method Of getting new mats

criticisms based on an order issued by thie1
Croker some time ago, and reported in The Tribune
directing the officers and men of the department 10

F1tzgibbon of No 90 Greene-st 1t said that
such an order as this violation of Section 1913
of the City Charter.
In this statement Commissioner Hayes said that
there had never been any intention of violating even
in technical way any laws regulating the depart
ment. He continued:

vacation and my attention was called to the order
relating the purchase OF the new style Of hats
for the members OF the uniformed force or ths

SCHOOL Il DEATH TRAP.
SO Parents Declare Se1ccr Floods

Parents Of the children who attend Public School
No "a. al Benson and 18th ayes. Bensonhurst. are
up in against the unsantary conditions which
they say prevail in and about the building A large
swamp directly across from the school and a broken
sewer which connects with the school. they allcge
endanger the lives of the pupils the school, and
maintain that they will send their children to
the school until proper sanitary regulations are
compiled with.
The truant officers have taken notice OF the
threats Of the parents of the children and
they intend 10 enforce the law all hazards, and
that If they find any of the children attending
the school they will be punished the law provides
for. This has caused the TO be appealed to the
Board of Health. and it is probable that some
action will be taken between now and Monday
when the school opens.
Tho trouble has originated from the faulty con-
dition of the 1S-nch cast iron sewer in 25th-ave.
with which the school is connected Frequently the
present time the is choked up with mass of
debris and although repeated complaints have been
made to the department action has been taken.
John Murphy, the Democratic leader OF the dis
trict, has taken UP the subject, and declares that
he will let any of his three children attend
school while the prevailing unsanitary conditions
exist. He said:
They can arrest them and send them to jail IL
they want to, but they shall not that school
Why. the conditions are something awful there and
a disgrace any community. No sewers and a

the lines. and unless action is taken be-
