NEW YORK'S
LOST CHILDREN

The number of children lost in the
course of a year varies considerably,
says peassaaA,ss aMLasggazine for October.
The largest rumber of children eve.
sheltered at the central office in the
course of a year was in 1892, the year
of the Columbian celebrations. when,
during twelve months, more than
5000 children we're under Mrs. Trav-
ers' care.
Fully two-thirds more children are
lost during the summer than during
the winter. and at the time o. the
italian feast Of st. Rocco, celebrated
in June. the press Of parents waiting

is 80 great that, according to the Of
ficer who tends the door, "you have

THIS PIG Gotta BATH

Portland. Ocl. 2-The phrase
"dirtv as a pig is fest losing pop
ularity, at least among visitors at
the Lewis and Clark exposition who
hqve seen the way pigs are cleaned
and cared for at the stock show now
in progress on the government PENN
sula.
A dav or Two ago a curious crowd
watched the operat1n of washing a
pig. and found the sight novel and in
teresting. The pig which was the
object of such solicilude was a
monster buat.: s'il4iieh y 4}oah.ad like the
pictures on auction bills, and weighed
more than 900 pounds. TmWashiHg
act was performed by a IL man
who used a scrubbing brush and some
washing powder. The boar was con-
fined in a crate just large enough
to hold him. and it was fortunate that
this was the case, for he did not take
to the scrubbing in a kindly spirit.
As the young mar spread washing
powder on the beasts broad back, and
then made q lather with the brush.
the great animal snorted in disgust,
and stirred %nervously In his narrow
cage.
Doesn't he like brSg washed?" a
young girl who had been watching
tfo operation asked anxiously.
"No. na'am. you see he's q mig"
the washerman answered CURLY.
"He's got to stand II. though, for
we've been feeding him for a long
wt',o SO ,tat he could win a prize"
The cattle at the exposition also
we're groomed with great care. and
nearly all of them had their horns
polished. This operation was ac.
complished by the use first Of sand
paper and then Of a cloth. until every
horn shone like the handle Of a cane.
