Switzerland a Modern Babel.

Babel, a fact which causes much trou.
BILE in particular to the military au-
thorities. At Wallenstadt the other
day at the recruiting station there was
a guard composed of five men. The
chief was lieutenant who spoke Ger
man only, the second sergeant who
spoke Italian only, the third cor
poral who could speak French and
Spanish, the fourth private who could
speak French and German, and the
fifth private who could speak French
and Italian. When the lieutenant had
to transmit an order to the sergeant
he had to get the last named man
to interpret for him. When he want
ed to communicate with the corporal
he had to requisition the fourth man,
and so on, great delay and confusion
being thus occasioned.-London News.

What Words Can Do,

"Any one who swears," declared the
bishop of Carlisle. "manifests the beg
garliness Of his vocabulary" The Con-
cord Patriot puts it in this fashion:
people swear because they do not
know the possibilities Of plain Eng
fish or have not the skill to manipulate
it so that it will yield the amount Of
fire they want. You can do almost
anything with common words. No
matter how tame and lifeless they
look standing in stupid rows as il
they didn't know enough to come in
when it rained, they can be made to
dance like imps, to frolic like fairies,
to float angelwise on light wings. to
glow like fire spirits. They can do
things that make the ordinary bits Of
profanity look like feeble scarecrows
stiffened up with fence stake. The
cure for profanity-refOrmers and edu-
Gators please make note-is merely
wit enough to handle your words so
that swearing will seem like baby talk
In comparison"

THE ARKANSAS HOG.
It Can Outrun a Greyhound and Whip
a Wolf or Bear.

An esteemed contemporary gave
space to the following communication
from subscriber on 1.-The American
Hog"
Arkansas has a greater variety of
hogs and less pork and lard than any
state in the Union. An average hog in
Arkansas weighs about fourteen
pounds dressed with its head on and
about six pounds and half with its
head off. 1t can Outrun a greyhound,
Jump rail fence, climb like parrot
and live on grass roots and rabbit
tracks. 1t hasn't much tail or bristle,
but plenty of gall. 1t will lick a wolf
or bear in fair fight. 1t is called
razorback because it is shaped like a
sunfish. In hunting a raZOrback 1t
Is always shot at sideways, for there
Is not a ghost of show to hit it
otherwise, any more than to shoot at
q split shingle. 1t can drink milk out
Of quart jar on account Of it's long,
thin head. This type Of razorback is
known as the stone hog because its
head Is SO heavy and its nose so long
that 1t balances up behind. The owner
Of this type Of hogs usually ties stone
to its tail to keep 1t from overbalanc-
