A Mexican Phflanthropist.

Pedro Alvarado. Of the State Of Chi.
huahua, Mexico, the owner of very
profitable mining properties. proposes
to distribute $10OOO.0OO among the
Mexican poor. He has also offered to
pay OF the Mexican government debt
This offer has been declined on the part
Of the government In the fear that ID
was not altogether inspired by a patri-
otto desire to relieve the Mexican tax.
payers.
Alvarado seems to be pushing ahead
Of Andrew Carnegie In the practical
application Of his own philosophy by
taking good care that he will not die
rich. He could hardly have hit upon
scheme Of more widespread benef-
cence than the payment Of the public
debt Of his country. This project ought
to be brought to the attention of Mrs
Russell Sage. who seems to be finding
great difficulty In 20 disposing OF her
vast fortune as to do the greatest
amount Of good.-Phlladelphla Record

H01F.boIl0s
We are frequently asked what causes
hair-balls. These concretions are pro-
duced by the animals licking them
selves or other animals. As a result
Of this habit the hairs swallowed are
carried around by the contractions Of
the stomach and gradually assume the
form Of small pellet or ball. These
increase In size as fresh quantities Of
hair are introduced into the stomach,
which become adherent to the surface
of the hair-ball. These hair-balls are
found most frequently in the reticulum
or second stomach, although sometimes
In the rumen. In calves, hair-balls are
generally found in the fourth stomach.
There are no certain symptoms BY
which we can determine the presence
Of hair-balls, and therefore no treat
ment can be recommended for such
cases. The walls of the reticulum have
in some cases been found transfixed
with nails or pieces Of wire. and yet
the animals during life had not shown
any symptoms OF indigestion. but had
died from maladies not involving the
second stomach.-St Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

Big Demand for Pork,

The demand for pork this year has
astOnished even the most sanguine
friends of the hog. Both fresh and
cured meats have been taken In large
volume right along at prices which
were SO high that they were expected
to check consumption. There are three
reasons why this condition has existed
and still exists. First Is the prosper
ity Of the South, large consumer Of
cured meats. The Southern trade was
never larger than 1t Is to-day. Next
Is the growing foreign trade. which
like our own. seems to proceed regard.
less Of prices. And, finally, the people
of this country have learned to eat
bacon. Its consumption Is unprece-
dented in our history. and is still grow
ing. There has been no shortage In
numbers Of hogs, but a vastly Increased
demand. This is why prophecies based
on hog supplies have failed and are
likely to fail In the Naturalization
