Antiauated Salaries.

Columbus" said an antiquary Of
Chicago, ''got a salary OF 1920 a year,
less than a dollar a day. His captains
got $50 a year apiece. His crew got
s2.25 a month. To equip the expedi-
tion that discovered America, cost
$500. The total Of discovering
America was o., 200.
Lawyers nowadays, especially cor
poration lawyers, think nothing Of
earning a million a year. In the reign
OF Edward " a baronet entered in
his journal, or dairy:
paid to Roger Flypott, learned in
the law, for his counsel, 3 shillings,
with 4 pence for his dlnner.r
Ministers often make to-day 500
900 or $4,000 a year. The late DR..
Talmage made $4,000. Yet John
Knox only got s22Oa year, or "a a week,
and that was a dollor morea week than
the Scottish Judges got"
Small salaries, those, concluded
the antiquary; ''but we must remem.
Der that in that epoch there were no
trusts to initiate prices, and a dollor
went a long way. In fact,a Christmas
dinner for a family Of six would have
cost, in John KINKS time-for the
turkey, 10 cents, cranberry sauce, 2
cents potatoes, / cent; turnips,l cent;
celery, cent; plum pudding, 2 cents;
total, II cents, OIL less than 3 cents a
head"

ROgs for Small Farmers.

There is one advantage about pigs
that makes them emphatically the
stock for the poor man or the small
farmers, and that is the very quick
returns which they afford by the
rapidity with which they increase and
come TO maturity. A good brood SOW
given good treatment, so as to be kept
in a good thrifty condition will farrow
two good litters Of pigs a year that
will run from seven to eight pigs In
each litter, and IL proper feed and care
is given these may be ready for market
by the time they are eight or nine
months old at the farthest. No other
stock kept on the farm will make so
good a return in so short a time. Sheep
will come nearest to it, but in the
same length Of time a pig will make
double the weight of a lamb. Another
advantage with pigs is that they are
marketable from the time they are
farrowed until they are fattened for
market. A SOW with a litter Of pigs,
and growing pigs three, four or five
months old, will sell at full market
prices; so that the farmers is not
obliged to feed them to maturity to
get a little money out OF them. With
a little management pigs may be fat
tened to sell in the spring and au-
tumn, when 1t is possible to secure the
best gain at the lowest cost; and
when it is considered that they utilize
much on the farm that would other
wise go to waste, it is only in ex-
ceptional cases that at least a few
cannot be kept on the farm with pro-
fit. -Exchange.

a starting site in st. Louis has been
left In hands Of the Business Mems
