Stories of Places.

In any Servian village there is only
one swineherd, and he leads all the
pigs of the community. In the morn!
ing he goes through the streets blowing
his horn and the pigs come out of their
own accord and fall in behind him and
follow him TO the pasture. At night
he brings them home and they disperse
to their sites in the same orderly way
as they pass the houses to which they
belong. They require no attention and
no singing out.
Australia has adopted the system Of
drying milk. The milk is dried be-
tween steam rollers and sold as a
powder from which nothing but water
has been extra cted and to which moth

milk. A leading medical officer is re-
ported to have said that the adoption
of dried milk at some of the asylums
for consumptive patients and in gen.
eral hospitals has proved q success.
This winter the Norwegians have
varied the excitement of ski running

the body is apt to outrun the feet. The

LINCOLN'S WIT.
That and Eidicule Were His Weapons OF
Offense and Defense.

Wit and ridicule were LincOln's
weapons of offense and defense, and
he probably laughed more jury cases
out of court than any other man who
practiced at the bar.
Il once heard Mr.. Lincoln defend a
man in Bloomington against charge
of passing counterfeit money" Vice.
President Stevenson told the writer,
There was a pretty clear case against
the accused, but when the chief wit
ness for the people took the stand lie
stated that his name was ]. Parker
Green, and Lincoln reverted to this the
moment he rose TO cross-eXamine
why J. Parker Green? What did the
j. stand for? John? Well, why didn't
the witness call himself John p.
Green? That was his name, wasn't it?
Well, what was the reason lie didn't
wish to be known by his right name?
Did j. Parker Green have anything to
conceal, and if not, why did j. Parker
Green part his name in that wayF
And so on. OF course the whole eX-
animation was farcical." Mr.. Steven
son continued, but there was some.
thing irresistibly funny in the varying
tones and infections of Mr.. Lincoln's
voice as he rang the changes upon the
mans name; and at the recess the very
boys in the street took it up as slogan
and shouted j. Parker Greenn all
over the town. Moreover, there was
something in Lincoln's way of inton'
ing his questions which made me sus-
picious of the witness, and to this day
/ have never been able to rid my mind
of the absurd impression that there
was something not quite right about j.
Parker Green. 1t was all nonsense,
Of course; but the jury must have been
affected as l was, for Green was dis
credited and the defendant went free"

SHORT LIVED DOCTORS.
The Habits of the Physician That Cause
His Eventual Ending.

The diseases which claim the most
victims among physicians relatively I'd
all males are gOut and diabetes, and
there is high relative mortality Erom
diseases of the nervous system and
kidneys.
From the nature of his habits the
physician is not subject to accidents,
and, though he is brought into contact
with infection to greater extent
than other men, his preventive means
are successful and his mortality from
infection is very low. Freedom from
prolonged muscular strains and high
blood tension apparently saves him
from arteriosclerosis, but suicide claims
many, and so do the drug habits ac-
quired by the nervously exhausted. II
has been said that three-fourths of
French morphine users are physicians.
The cause of the physicians early
death is evidently the excessive ner.
vous expenditure, insufficient rest and
defective nutrition, inseparable from
his calling, with its broken and re-
sricted sleep, irregular hours OF work,
rest and meals, the worry when lives
depend upon his judgment and the lack
of a day Of complete relaxation in
each week. The physician who sees
his patients every day in the week.

Case of Sad disappointment.

The phone in the office of down.
town establishment devoted to dry
goods and various articles of feminine
apparel rang sharply and the head
bookkeeper responded. The voice he
heard was feminine voice. 1t was
somewhat indignant and it began con-
versation without preliminaries.
"Those bones you sent up are Alto
gether too large" said the voice. Il
told you l wanted small bones. This is
my little dogs birthday, and wanted
to give her some nice, dainty little
bones as a special treat. And here
you have sent up some great enormous
things, only fit for st. Bernard. My
poor Flossie, with her dainty little
teeth. never could manage them in the

kind that come in corsets. ts."-Providen

The Town Kicker.

This bit of philosophy is being passed
around by the country papers: The
,kickers on the farm are not as hard
to get along with as the kickers in the
towns. On the farm there is the kick
ing COW and our long-eared friend, the
mule, while in town there is the old
mossbaek, who wants all the privileges
of municipal living without paying for
them, and blocks so far as he can ev-
cry municipal improvement. The cow
may be sold for beef and the mule
traded for shotgun, but nothing but
a funeral will get rid of the town
kicker.-Kansas City Star.

BRAVE LOVE,

He'd nothing but his violin,
I'd nothing but my song;
But we were wed when skies were blue
And summer days were long;
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared to woo and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberries,
Or slept among the hay;
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out to hear us play
The rare old songs, the dear old tunes
We could not starve for long
While my man had his violin
And l my sweet love-song.
The world has aye gone well with us,
Old man, since we were one;
Our homeless wandering down the lanes
1t long ago was done.
But those who wait Tor gold or gear,
For house or for kline
I'LL youths sweet spring grows brown and
sere
And love and beauty pine
Will never know the Joy of hearts
That met without a fear
When you had but your violin
And l song-my dear.
