About Brushes.

When you use fine hairbrush you little think of the wild boar yet the best bristles used in brushes come from that animal found in Russia. The wild boar is the original from which all the different kinds of tame hog have sprung. His color is dark gray, nearly black; his snout is longer than that of the tame hog and his ears short and pointed.
 The wild boar is not found in our country. but comes from Africa. Asia and different parts of Europe. In old en times boar hunting used to be ia yorite pastirne for the nobility of France, but now the animal is consid- cred auelean and therefore very lit tie hunted. The skin of the boar is remarkably thick and strong and diff cult for any weapon to pass through Philadelphia Ledger.

THE SELfISHNESS
 OF SACRIFICE,

Do not neglect the outings, even though they may be of but a few hours or days duration. The house-mother particularly needs these temporary releases from the nerve-raCking tensions that come Of the daily routine. A journey, or visit IS not al- ways resttul, or satisfying, and from either of these one some times returns more worn than when the trip was undertaken. Il House-mothers, who are proverb- ially good to others. should learn 10 be good to themselves. Often the sacrifices upon which We pride ourselves are but forms of selhshness, for III making them We are but consulting our own inelinations and pleasures. rather than the pleasures of others. It Is our delight to deny ourselves that others may have the good times; but very often the family would have twice the pleasure, If we would allow them to enjoy little of the doing without, and thus have the pleasure of feeling that they have added to our pleasure. Many son and taught CT would gladly share their good times with mother, relieving her of the drudgery of serving, and would thereby increase the hap piness of every member of the company. Children are not sell fish by nature, but are readily taught selfshness through the unwise example of the parents. Boys and girls are not to blame, If they accept the services that are forced upon them from their babyhood, and many a girl gets an erroneous idea of mother $ tastes through never having her attention called to their exist ence. Mother does not care for nice clothes,a or Mother never cares to go anywhere are ex- pressions heard from young lips. and mothers are themselves to

SKELETON OF
 MAN FOUND.

Melville, Ark, May 27.- While out hunting a few days ago, about three miles south of Onset, on Hall Mountain, Clark Hall found the skeleton of a man. The bones were bleached and III place except all ankle bone
 One of the theories advanced IS that 1t IS the skeleton of a travelling ieweler who was III Cotter about eighteen months ago and suddenly disappeared at the same time a fine horse be- longing to Mrs. McBee did. The sheriff was put on the trail of the ieweler. who was known as Slim Jim" and after leaving Onset he caught sight of Sim riding the horse. The sheriff shot at Slim but thought lie missed him, as he slid from the back of the horse to the ground. The horse Was taken home.
 Another point that lends color to this theory is that about mile from the skeleton an old valise was found containing jewellers tools.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Jineling.

SihSiihS'
 This is a kind of blind mans buff It is played by any number of persons in an inclosed place. either reped of space or a room without furniture. One of the players, who is chosen jingler. or bellman, has his hands tied behind his back and bell fastened around his neck. while all the others are blindfolded The blind men try to catch the jingler, guided by his bell, and the jingler tries 10 deceive them in every way he can. Two blind men often seize each other, each believing the other to be the jingler. When any player succeeds in catching the jinsler the two change places.
 In England jingIing matches are popular at county fairs. If the jingler can avoid his pursuers for q given time he is the winner; otherwise the prize is given 10 the blind man who catches him.
 The size of the space or ring in which the game is played depends upon the number of players and their agility If the iingler keeps too long from being caught 1t is loo large If he is caught too soon it should be larger.
 In some parts of England a pig k placed in the ring instead Of the jingier. and the blind men are armed with whips. He who hits the pig becomes its owner. The sport is usually more amusing to the spectators than the con. testants, as they are apt to give each other sound beating before any one succeeds in hitting the pig
