Paderewski's Troubles With Pios.

From the London Standard
 The swine fever regulations of various continental countries have occasioned much travelling on the part of four fine pedigree pigs. recently purchased near Colchester for the famous pianist Pade- rewski for his farm in Switzerland. The agent who purchased the pigs intrusted them to a continental forwarding office for despatch to Switzerland. The latter sent them via Harwich to Antwerp and thence to Switzerland, but when the pigs arrived at the frontier neither the French nor the German authorities would permit them to pass, and they had perforce to be returned to Antwerp, whence. after lengthy delay and yoluminous correspond- ence with the British board of agricul- ture. they were brought back by steamer to London. They were tlfen transhppsd by lighter to the steamer Syria for Bou- logne. From that port they were for warded by direct rail to Switzerland, and at last news has been received of their safe arrival The pigs are valuable anl- mais, intended for breeding purposes.

Pointed Paragraphs.

From the Chicago Daily News.
 Some lawyers who fail at their practice imagine 1t is up to them to preach.
 Unless a man has plenty of sand he sell dom leaves footprints on the sands of time.
 Few men can do two things at once, but any girl can chew gum and talk simultaneously.
 Some married women are so weak they even allow their husbands to keep part O. their salary.
 And the man who trusts in the Lord never has occasion to cancel his member ship in a "don't worry" club.
 Before beginning to wait for a dead mans shoes it might be well to induce some easy mark to board you while you wait.

From Harper's Weekly.
 Joseph H. Choate, during his term as ambassador at London, chanced to spend few days one summer at a very small English town. Having noticed a pleasant river that seemed to promise excellent fishing, he spoke of it to his innkeeper
 "Yes, sir" said the latter, there is very good fishing here-many persons come here for fishing. A number of literary gentlemen, too, sir"
 Indeed" remarked the ambassador. "Would you mind telling me which liter ary gentleman
 "Oh, not at all, sir We had Mir. An drew Lang here not long ago.
 And is MT. Lang good fisherman?"
 "Oh. yes, indeed sir He fishes beauti- fully"

At present the olive tree, most important factor in this industry, is not cultivated by the Japanese, and at the same time the customs levy duty on i'm . ported oil. This drawback could, of course. easily be overcome by the government al lowing a rebate to canning establishments. As far as taste and quality go. there is not much to choose between the Japa- nese product and the European.

From the London Daily Graphic
 The sardine is caught in such numbers all along the coast of Japan that hitherto tho surplus catch has been used for ma nure. Attempts are now being made to turn this fish to some more profitable use. Canning establishments have been started at various places-notably Chiba and Noyag go-with a view to ascertaining

Tollinq Women Laborers.

One thing is to be oeplored, and that is the employment of women in and about the mines as laborers. Some of these cooly women are said to walk five miles in a day in the performance of their work, and carry on their heads loads of eighty pounds half that distance. There Is a strong sentiment growing against e.ns sort of drudgery for women but l fancy 1t will be a long time before the women of India will be delivered from such toll It has not been so many years since women and cllAuren were rescued from sucn drudgery in other and more en- frightened countries.
 Here, in the capital of India, the cooly women carry bricks and mortar on their heads and climb bamboo ladders to the third and fourth stories of building as helpers to cooly masons These women sweep the streets and do all sorts of menial labor. They carry on their heads burdens seemingly large enough to bend the backs of bullocks and donkeys. Even girls of and 10 years of age carry loads on their heads weighing fifty and more pounds and trudge along under the sun s intense rays with the mercury rising to 100 degrees in the shade.

When a toddler will break into his savings bank for the sake of sub seribing to the campaign fund what is to be expected from republicans of older growth and larger means?

PUT DOWN "EoolcATloNr IDEA.

 Brother Aarieulturists.

In the early forties. on a certain town meetin day" in one of the small farming communities of the Granite state. there was more than the usual interest and excitement. Some auda- eious Phillstine had secured the inser- tion ia the warrant Of an article TO see if the town will appropriate s500 for a new schoolhouse."
 The sturdy yeomanry were out in force to fight down this proposition The sympathetic moderator didn't

BIRD TRAVELS WITH GIRAFFE
Red Billed Weaver Constant compsn-
 iono of Animal skyseraper.

The red billed weaver bird is con stant companion of the giraffe, perch ing itself upon the withers and flying along when Its host takes to flight, and immediately alighting again on its back it the first opportunity. The only means of defense or offense by the giraffe Is by means of its hoofs and the blows it can deliver by kick. ing are of tremendous power. The old males during the breeding season fight in this manner a good deal, and the female employs the same means in defending her young against car niyorous animals.
 Giraffes are very swift Of foot. and IL requires q very fleet horse 10 run them down. Experienced hunters, however charge them at full speed, and by this means are often able to run into them, and if the giraffes are fat they will soon become blown. When running, the tail is twisted in . corkscrew fashion over the back and the hind legs al each step are thrown on the outside of the forelegs, giving . very gretesqHe stfaddlihg appear. ance. The giraffe is mute. but he has . very keen sense of hearing and Of smell

At all times and to all people am willing to testify to the merits of Cuucura.

Then it broke out on my limbs then went to surgeon whose treat ment did me no good, but rather az gravated the disease l then told him I would go and see a physician in Erie. The reply was that I could go anywhere. but a case of eczema like mine could not be cured: that l was too old ts0). l went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. l had read of the Cuticura Remedies. and so l sent for the Cuti. cura Soap. Ointment and Resolvent, and continued taking the Resolyent until had taken six bottles, stopping it 10 take the Pills. I was now get. ting better. I took two baths day and al night I left the lather of the Soap dry on. l used the Ointment with great effect after washing iI warm water. to stop the itching at once.

Scheme Worked Out Badly.

Congressman Sulzer represents a iensely populated district on the East side of New York city. It occurred to him some months ago that though there are no gardens in his district some of his constituents might grow plants in boxes placed on window sills or fire escapes. so he sent an as- sortment of seed to the inmate of model tenement house owned by one of his friends The latter met him few days ago and said: See here, Sulzer. want you 10 cut out that seed business. It's the limit,' Why what's the matter?' asked the aston ished Sulzer, and he explained why he had sent the seeds. "Oh. you meant well. all right, returned the friend seornfully. but when I visited the place the other day found that about ten families were raising cabbage, GU cumbers and tomatoes in the bath tubs"
