TO REVIVE GOOD BREEDING.

Thomas Nelson Page writes In the
April Century "On the Decay OF Man
ners"-manners which are the hall
mark OF "that life of quality, the foun-
dation Of which is good breeding, the
native air Of which is refinement, and
the membership Of which are all gen-
tlefolk the world over He brings out
these points:
civilization and the proof of its per-
lection, is delicacy."
Whatsoever the form may be, and
there are many forms in which good
breeding may present itself-as many
indeed, as are the incidents of social
intercourse-whateve tends to put at
ease the person one meets is good
manners, and whatever tends to the
opposite il rudeness."
'Whoever takes advantage of an
other we know cannot be gentle

Of good breeding, as the last, is kind

1.-THE express train and the crush

vantages, but they are not conducive
to good manners"
ITO revive ancient good breeding
and bring back the old-time manners,

yards this uncouth type of the tribe
Of swine Is now selling on par with
his aristocratic brethren, the fine
haired, corn-fed hogs Of Kansas, Mis-.
souri, and other states. Its particular
virtues consist in the light hams and

tablish their log cabin homes in the
shady recesses of the Ozarks. The
backwOodsmen knew and appreciated
the merits Of the razorback because
they were kin, In sense. Both were
pioneers in the wilderness, preferring
the freedom OF the wilds to the dull
monotony Of domesticity in town or
village, and both, confident in their

the backwoodsmen have crossed the
prairies ever westward IN their can
vas-covered wagons as human settle
ments sprang up around them, seeking
always the solitude and independence
of the wildernesses in which the razor
back has roamed, from the deep for
ests of Missouri and Arkansas to the
salt marshes of Louisiana and the
other gulf states. Always the back
woodsman has enjoyed the pleasures
Of hog-killing times, usually about
Christmas. He scOrned the thought OF
utilizing the razorback as an article OF
commerce. He killed only to supply
the wants of his family, eating the
perishable parts and hanging the hams
and sides in his primitive smokehouse
to serve the needs of the future.
{ Nov those pioneer days with their
pleasant customs and simple lives
are gone, since the scouts Of the
packing houses have learned that the
mast-fed razorback, which has never
gnown the taste of grain bast Aves'
and grows long and lanky on nuts,
roots and other delicacies Of natures
store, Is superior to the heavy, grain
fed hog in furnishing delicious hams
and juicy sides. The tribe of razor
backs has diminished materially In
recent years and soon the places that
know him now will know him no
more forever. Like the pioneer back
woodsman and his prairie schooner,
the razorback has fallen a prey to
the march of modern civilization, his
days are numbered and his fleet-footed
race will soon be extinct save in the
memories of those whose heads have
blossomed for the grave"
