the owner of a pig four weeks old which
is certainly a freak. The pig is the
proud possessor of eighteen toes, hay

each on the hind pedal extremeties.
The animal is apparently in good health,

The Scientific American gives the
recipe, which the whole world ought to
know: At the first indications dphther-
ia in the throat of child, make the
room close, take tin cup and put into
it quantity of tar and turpentine,
equal parts. Then hold the cup over a
fire, so as to fill the room with fumes.
The little patient, on inhaling the fumes
will cough up and spit out all the mem
braneous matter and the dphtheria will
pass out. The fumes of the tar and tur-
pentine loosens the matter in the throat
and thus affords the relief that has
bafIied the skill of physicians.

The Planet Uranus.

If Uranus, which is star Of about
the sixth magnitude, were a planet
like those little ones called asteroids,
which are being discovered by the doz-
en- every year, it could not have much
claim upon popular attention, but
Uranus is really a gigantic world, more
than sixty times as large as ours. Its
vast distance, about 1,700,000,00O miles
from the earth, is what causes it to-
look so small Uranus has four moons,
which reyolve backward in their orbits
that is so say, they reyolve from east
to west around Uranus, while Uranus
goes, like all the other planets, from
west to east around the sun 1t is be-
heved that Uranus rotates backward
on it's axis also. Moreover, the axis of
that great, strange globe lies in such
a direction that in the course of it's
year. which is equal to eighty-four of
our yQars, the sun shines almost per-
pendicularly first upon one pole and
then upon the other. Measured by
our time standard, there are forty
years of constant daylight followed by
forty years of unbroken night, around
the poles of Uranus. And the sun rises
in the west and sets in the east there
But the sun looks very small when
viewed from Uranus-one four
hundredth as large as it appears to us.
Still it sheds upon that planet 1900
times as much light as the full moon
sends to the earth, so that daylight
upon Uranus, while faint compared
with the blaze Of a terrestrial MONDAY
is nevertheless a very respectable kind
of illumination.

Suddenly an idea struck me; the

one or two beside them; mine were
not nearly so, deep What did this
point to? The maker of them had been
/ heavily laden. There could be no
doubt Of it, the villain had taken off
his own shoes and put on those of the
arrested man; then he had carried him
across the garden and thrown him
through the window unconscious, pour
ing a glass of the drugged wine down
his throat; then he had robbed the
dead man and departed.
Search as l might / could find no
more traces and the matter became
more pulling The burglar seemed
either to have flown away or to be still
in the house
When reached my lodging and
thought the matter over there was
only one possible conclusion. The
murderer must still be in the village,
and some Of the stolen property must
be still hidden in the house or grounds.
About ten l cautiously crept into
the garden and scaled tree which
stood in direct line with the old
MAJ bedroom.
Presently l saw the light in one of
the bottom rooms go out and soon af-
ter the old man himself came up to
bed. First he very carefully drew the
window curtains together, which shut
me out from view.

climb up the creeper which covered
the house, and was as thick as a mans
wrist in some places.
My heart beat violently as l neared
his window, the stem of the creeper
was getting timer and one false step
might ruin all, but l reached it at
last, and by bending under the win
dow, had fine view. The first thing
that surprised me was that he had not
begun to undress; but a greater was in
store, for after walking across the
lOOIH anu locking the door ne touched
a board in the wall-which was of

vealing a small, secret chamber It

No Turkevs in paradise

The man who originated the saying,
AS poor as Jobs turkey" was badly
off both in his Biblical lore and his
ORTHODOXY, says the American Farm
er. The word turkey is not mentioned
in the Bible, because that bird was
unknown either in Asia or Europe at
the time of these writings and for
many centuries thereafter. Job, of
course, never owned a turkey and
when Satan conspired to destroy his
fiocks, there was no loss in this line
as there were none here. The tur-
key is a native of North America and
was never heard of until this country
began to be settled by Europeans. The
proverb above quoted originated in
fiction, Judge Halliburton, author of
Sam Slick, being responsible for it.
According to the veracious Sam
Slick" Jobs turkey was so poor that
it had only one feather in it's tail and
was obliged to lean against a fence
to gobble The phrase caught on and
has been used ever since, many people
imagining that Job really owned the
poverty stricken gObbler.

Britain Drinks Less Beer.

Official figures show decline in the
consumption Of beer and spirits in
Great Britain; but the consumption is
still large. Mr.. Lloyd-George, a mem
Der of the British cabinet, says that
about 60 percent Of the poverty in the
United Kingdom is traceable to drink,
and the poverty is of enormous dimen-
sions. The announcement that the
Government proposes to introduce a
measure to check the drink evil prob
ably foreshadows a great struggle in
Parliament, as such legislation, how
ever worthy Of success, always meets
with bitter opposition.
