Alexis Piron, native of Dion, Is
perhaps most notorious for his epitaph,
Here lies Pron, who was nothing
not even an academician." One night
he was asked at party if he could
tell the difference between woman
and a mirror. "a woman" he replied,
talks without rejecting; mirror re-
fleets without talking" Upon this a
lady asked, Can you now, M. Piron,
tell me the difference between man
and q mirror" And as Piron remain
ed silent she went on, "a mirror is al
ways polished, while a man sometimes
is not"

Neat Ways to Kill IA Hog.

A merciful way to kill hog is to
strike it in the head with suitable i'm
plement, producing stupor, then in
stantly use the sticking knife. This
causes instant death. A neat, unob-
jectionable method is to drop the open
side of a suitable long, narrow box
down over the animal and then turn
box and animal upside down, when the
knife can do its work and the box be
righted again that the hog can bleed
out properly.-Exchange.

Good Hreeding.

A mans own good breeding is the
best security against other peoples i'll

dignity that is respected by the most

timid. No man ever said pert thing
to the Duke of Marlborough. No man
ever said a civil one to Sir Robert Wal

CLOVER ROOT BORER.

Destructive to Various CIOvers and

BY +. M. WEBSTER.
In America the clover root borer has
SO far been especially destructive to
red clover, yet with the recently in
creasing interest in the growing Of al
falfa in the northern states it may be
expected to become destructive to that
crop also. Besides, it is known to at
tack mammoth clover and alsike. The
fact that it also Injuries the garden pea
will be very suggestive to growers OF
peas for canneries, and indicates the
undesirability of sowing peas early in
the season on ground that has recently
