al rhE sET Of TAg Sun.

At the set of the sun,
When our work is done,
With all its tangled web;
When the clouds drift low,
And the stream runs slow,
And life is at its ebb,
As we near the goal,
When the golden bowl
Shall be broken at it's founti
With what sweetest thought
Shall the hour be fraught,
What precious most shall we count!
Not the flame of the sword,
Nor the wealth we have stored
In perishable things of earth
Not the way we have trod
With the intellect broad,
Though that were of precious worth.
Nor the gain we achieved
Through the hearts we have grieved,
And left unhelped by the way.
Nor the laurel of fame,
When, for worldly acclaim,
We toiled in the heat and the fray.
All, no! it's not these
Will give our hearts ease,
When life sinks low in the west;
But the passing sweet thought
OF the good we have wrought,
The saddened lives we have blest.
And the love we have won,
And the love reckoning on
From His islands far and dim;
Love out of the light,
Shining into the night,
The night which leadeth to Him.
From Boston Transcript.

RovaI pOwry for Maids Of Honor.

A tradition attached to maids Of
honor is that they invariably marry
well. Their position at court brings
them in contact with highly eligible
parties, and an old custom dating back
for centuries ordains their royal mis-
tress to provide dowry of $1,000
on their wedding day.-P. T. o.

The steam turbine. in its most
effective form, consists of long
series of rings of moving blades, be-
tween which are rings of fixed blades.
which serve as guides to deliver the
steam with the proper direction and
velocity against the moving blades.
The latter are mounted on revolv-
ing drum, which is put in rapid ro-
tation by the force of the steam. AS
the steam passes through the turbine
it falls in pressure by long series
of steps, each small. SO that all Of
its energy may be utilized.

FATTENING HOGS.

A variety of food is more economical
than all corn for hogs. The proper
way to use corn as a hog feed is to
finish off with it, thereby hardening
the fat. To really fatten hog he
should be fed in such a manner, pre-
vious to being penned, as to force
growth. First build up the frame Tor
the reception of the meat that may
be laid upon it and to do SO feed such
food as will not only forward growth
but keep the animal in condition that
will entail but little expense when
the time arrives for getting him fat
10 do this in the most economical
manner, pumpkins, beets, carrots, win
ter squash and parsnips, together with
finely cut clover hay may be fed with
good results. It will not do, however,
TO feed such substances in a wasteful
manner
A caldron or steamer should be
used for cooking a large quantity OF
root vegetables and warm feed
should be given early in the morning,
the mass first thickened with one part
OF bran and two parts of ground oats.
At noon feed composed solely of
chopped roots, fed raw, but not too
cod, will be sufficient. At night they
SHOULD receive slop, slightly warm,
corn with little bran to somewhat
thieken the slop Such food will not
only keep the hogs in good health, but
will be the cheapest diet at this sea-
son that can be allowed, as it will
rapidly push them forward while the
weather is not severe The hogs will
become very fat and need not be fed
corn in large quantities only for two
weeks before being slaughtered.
1t should not be overlooked that the
sweetest and tenderest meat is always
produced when the process of fatten-
lowed, but little exercise need be al
lowed the hogs. Exercise always hard
ems the muscles and the hog is no
exception to the rule; consequently
the more exercise taken, the tougher
the meat While it may, no doubt, be
duN iSdulc W pcIHII VI SUiuS OAOlSiSO,
for the sake of keeping the animal in
health, yet the hogs that quietly eat
their food and take their rest will
always fatten readily. Nor should
hogs be surfeited with food. They
should be so fed as to receive it at
regular hours and in such quantity
that they will eat it up clean, but no
more. 1t does not pay to keep hogs
late into the winter. They should be
slaughtered as soon as steady cold
weather is assured, for the food is
partially wasted during the winter
months in providing heat. When the
cold season sets in let them be quick.

A Clever Company.

Angeles Comedians are play.
ing to large and appreciative
crowds at the opera house this
week. Their plays are new,
clean and full of interest and
the performers are capable, re-
fined gentleman aud ladies' of
uuusual talent. The specalties
are alone worth the price of al,
mission. Miss Cecil Liugell, the
child vocalist, Is perhaps the
most clever singer of her age
now on the stage and is about
as bewitching a little specimen
of humanity as Paris people
ever saw. The illustrated songs
by Miss Florence Genelli and
the specalties by the famous
Thebus Brothers and the Lin
CELL Sisters, when added to tue
splendid aggregation of talent
in the plays, make about as
complete and enjoyable a pro-
gram as the most e4acting could
demand. Mr.. j S. Angel, the
proprietor. has just cause for
his pride in his company, and

CHEWS HIS Leg
WELL-KN0WN THIRD WARD
MAN THE VICTIM.
Attacked in Street, Motzenbecker Saves
Woman-Hill Section Get
ting Uneasy.

Simon Motzenbecker, father OF DR..
Peter F. M~otzenbecker, and DIR. Will
lam j.. Motzenbecker, and one of the
best-known citizens of the Third Ward,
who was bitten by a dog, is today nurs-
ing an ugly wound on the fleshy part OF
the left leg. The residents of the Hill"
section are up in arms as a result OF
the dog nuisance. Usually when pc
destrians are attacked their first action
is to go to the nearest police station
and ask to have the dog killed. They
are informed that this cannot be done,
and when they visit the Criminal
Courts they are advised to go to the
District Courts and bring suit. In
the majority of cases the victims are
not In a position to follow the advice
of the court, and have to foot the doc
tors bills and stand other expenses.
and at the same time be at a loss, per-
haps, of their earnings for weeks.
One of the most recent cases a
that of Miss Anna Denton, of South
Seventh street, who was badly bitten
on both legs by a neighbours bull ter
rier, and who has been under a physi-
clans care for the past several weeks.
while / understand that the only re-
| dress people have when bitten by a dog
is to bring civil action against them,
said a prominent citizen today, "a law
should be passed that would afford the
public better protection.
II understand that the Humane Society
is supposed to care for all stray dogs,
but while they receive a substantial sum
from the city and large donations from
other sources. they by no means do theii
work right, and this is proven by the
many who are bitten day after day. Tt
my knowledge there have been at leas'
a dozen people bitten by dogs during thu
past several weeks in our city.
at was told to me that unless a dos
is mad the Humane Society, instead o.
killing It after it has bitten anyone, offer
1t for sale. especially II 1t is a valuable
one"
When seen today at his home. 10 Quit
man street, Mr.. Motzenbecker said tina
last night he left his house, and afte
stopping al a store nearby. walked owe
Monmouth street 10 Spruce street, an
enst to Quitman street, and when h
was passing a house on the northeast cor
ner a big dog rushed down the stoop an
grabbed him by the left leg. The do
was about to attack a negress when drive
off by Mr.. Motzenbecker. who went I
st, B~arnabas's Hospital, and there IN
physicians Immediately cared for tn
wound. 1t is not believed to be sertou'
but is causing the victim. who Is we
on In years, much pain.
