Pigs That Have Acquired Degree

A young friend or my acquaintance

Ct trained pigs which are believed to
be the most intelligent animals OF the
KIND in the slate. He yokes them up
aud drives them the same as steers,
says writer ia the Associated sun
Gay Magazines.
Charles +. Holder. who through his
POWER over all kinds of animals has
attracted the notice OF psychologists
from many institutions, declares that
the hog has Intelligence fully equal to
that Of any other animal. except man,

About 1915 London man created
sensation by driving a four-in-han OF

FIELD OF IsANDHLWANA.
Where the Zulus Under Cetewayo
Wiped Out British Force-Proof
That Struggle Was Fierce.

The Zulus of to-day, 1t seems, are
as alert and cunning as their prede-
cessors, who, under Cetewayo,
wrought such terrible havoc. Every
European on the spot knows the his
tory of those bloody lays, and of
lsandhlwana In particular. If any
thing could teach the necessity for
vigilant scouting, that would. While
the late Lord Chelmsford was splitting
up his forces, the enemy, $4,000
strong, lay low to charge down upon
Isandhlwana in his absence. He re-
turned to the camp to find every man
butchered. The whole force left, over
800, had been slain, while the victors
had made a haul of 102 wagons, |, 400
oxen, two seven-poundlr guns, 400
rounds of shot and shell. 800 rifles,
100000 rounds of ball cartridges.
$4,000 worth of commissariat sup
plies, and certain regimental colors.
The bravest were heartsick when
they went to bury the victims of
Isandhlwana. For I'VE months the
bodies lay unburied. though gallant
men volunteered again and again in
the meantime to undertake the work.
Carbon birds had accomplished their
foul work, and merciful nature with a
green carpet of verdure had done her
best to obliterate the awful relics or
the tragic day. But the burial party
were able to discover 500 bodies and
identify may. Money and checks,
portraits anu letters, jeWelry and
souvenirs it-ared tho hillside. Every
where were evidene Il Of the ferocity
of the struggle. t. Zulus are said

black men and white sd in the
savage embrace in which they had
died. One Zulu was found with his
head driven by British bayonet a
foot into the ground; a Briton with
his dead antagonist beneath him, and
an assegai in his back to tel how he
had died after mastering the foe in
front.

APPAREL AND THE MAN.
Truth That Shakespeare Knew Where
of He Spoke Is Cen Every Day
in Business World.

Among the most valuable assets the
worker in almost any field can have
are the razor, the shoe brush and the
tooth powder. These are possessions
within the reach OF anyone. To have
them and use them Is powerful help
toward success. To neglect them is
one Of the surest means Of meeting
failure.
There is no man, no matter how
careless he may be of his own per-
sonal appearance, that would not
rather talk business to a man who
Ii cleanly shayen, whose shoes are
sh1ned, whose teeth are white, and
whose linen is In good condition,
than to q man who is careless about
his appearance. Employers know that
the careful salesman usually sells the
most goods. They know, too, that
Shakespeare was right when he said
that the apparel doth oft proclaim the
man. They reason that unless man
has respect for him self he does not
much mind whether others have re-
spect for him or not And O man who
cannot inspire respect in those with
whom he does business Ia not half so
valuable as the man who can.
First impressions often are the
strongest Impressions. A well
zroomed man wins his way where the
stability clad man is refused hear

rule upon attention to the little de.

Cleanliness is not only next to god
Illness, but it also is ne. to success.
Any man who has been in business
for any length of time can point out
fellow workers who would have sue
