Dot and Trousseau,

Dealing with the weaknesses of ac-
tors, some noted for meanness, a Paris
contemporary relates a good story of
Frederick Lemaitre, the celebrated &C.
tor, who was somewhat parsimonious.
When his daughter was about to
marry, Lemaitre agreed to provide the
"dot'' and the trousseau. DOT" it
may be observed, is the French equiv
alent for the English dover or Scot
fish f'tocher..
When the notary came to complete
the contract and was reading the
terms Lemaitre said: 1.-THE daughter Of
Frederick Lemaitre has not need of a
dot. NJ. LIE Notaire, strike out the
dot"
The prospective son-in-law was pres
ent, and he had the courage to reply:
1.-THE daughter Of Frederick Lemaitre
can easily clothe herself with the fame
Of her father. NJ. LIE Notaire, pray
strike out the rousseau"

Inn Names n Germany.

Germany probably holds the record
for out Of the way signs and fantastic
inn names. The most absurd results
are usually obtained by the name OF
some animal with a more or less nm
suitable object. The Comfortable
Chicken and the Cold Frog, both Of
them in Berlin, are certainly LETT In
the shade by the Angry Ant (Ort, In
Westphalia) and the Stiff Dog Berlin).
The Lame Louise is an inn in suburb
of Berlin, and not far from 1t is the
Thirsty Pelican. The Dirty Parlor, the
Bloody Bones, the Musical Cats, the
Fourhundredweight Man, and the
Boxers Den are all in Berlin or the
neighborhood, and the Old Straw Bag
in Leipzig. The Open Banghole is in
Stadtohen, in the Palatinate, and the

Curing 4 Snake Bite.

This Is how the Indians Of Central
America cure snake bite: They pin
the unlucky patient to the ground and
wind strong creepers above and below
the bite until they cut into the flesh.
Then they apply live coal to the
wound TO cauterize it and follow that
up by rubbing in mixture Of chewed
tobacco and crushed garlic. By this
time the victim is nearly mad with
pain and ready TO kill every body In

Old Engraved Rings.

Among the legends of Greece it is
told that the father of Pythagoras, the
famous Greek philosopher, was cele-
brated engraver of gems. and, accord
ing to classical history, both Helen of
Troy and Ulysses Of Greece wore en-
graved rings. Engraving on stones
that were partly precious was an art
at a very remote age. The British mu-
scum proudly boasts the possession Of
small square of yellow jasper bear
ing the figure of horse and the name
and titles of AmeDophis H., believed
to date back to about the year 1850
B. G. The very finest specimen of en-
graved gem now in existence is a head
Of Nero carved on first water dia-
mond by the brothers CastanI in the
year 1890 A. D. 80.

Care Of the Brood
Sow and Litter.

University Farm.
!. !. j. 4 j. j. j. j. + \ :. !. j. ]. j.

The care of the brood SOW, previous
to and at narrowing time, cannot be
given too careful attention If we ex-
pect to get the best results. The feed
which is given her several months
previous to narrowing will have much
to do with the condition of the pigs
that are narrowed.
The ration to be fed at that time
should be made up largely OF feeds
that are rich in protein, and which
make good muscle and bone-buihing
material; also feed bulky foods, such
as roots, clover hay, and plenty OF
slops. The SOW should also have plen-
ty of exercise; for this will do much
toward keeping her in a vigorous and
thrifty condition. Brood sows very
often have a, tendency to become lazy,
and will exercise very little unless
forced to do so. When such is the
case, they should be fed some distance
away from their sleeping quarters, so
as to be forced to take exercise.
Care must be taken that the brood
sows are not fed too much and be-
come too fat, as such sows never pro-
duce q strong, healthy litter of pigs.
Two or three days before narrowing,
it is we'll to reduce the amount of feed,
as at this time the feed fed will be
converted into milk and there may
be danger of cakeds sudder and milk
fever. IA s4t -
Prepare a dry bed, made up of
clean oat-straw or shredded corn
slower, in some dry place. in which to
keep the SOW during narrowing time.
Barley straw, dirty or musty bedding
of any kind should be avoided, be-
cause it is likely to make the small
pigs cough, and cause pneumonia.
Do not feed the SOW at all at far
rowing time, nor for twenty-four or
thirty-six hours afterwards. Give her
only lukewarm water, with possibly a
very small amount of meal of some
kind in it. The SOW does not care for
feed at this time; and, besides, cutting
off the feed will do much to keep back
the flow of milk and prevent milk
fever. After two or three days, grad
ually put the sow back on full feed,
and there will be little or no danger
from further trouble with milk fever
or caked. udder.,-. .-.-... ...
The young pigs should be taught to
eat as soon as possible. They should
be provided with a place in which the
brood SOW cannot get at their feed,
and given a small amount of sweet
milk and little ground oats, with
hulls renewed, or shorts in it. It is
surprising how soon small pigs will
begin to eat, and how much better
progress they make than where they
are given no opportunity to get a lit
tie food beside that of the milk from
the mother. "
This method of getting the small
pigs to ca: early will not check or re-
tard their growth at weaving time
The best time to wean young pigs, is
when they are from six to ten weeks
Old Do not take the litter away from
the sow at once. so that the old SOW
and the litter will fret about the sepa-
ration, but reduce the amount of feed
fed the SOW. This will check her flow
Of milk; and by literally feeding the
litter the weaving process can be
finished in few days without injur.

Wants Liberty of Speech.
Shelby Highlander.

Liberty of thought and speech is
one of the most precious ideals OF
modern civilization. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that attractions of this great
principle should be encountered in
our own State. The bowling down of
President Charles l.. Coon of the
State Teachers Assembly at last
weeks meeting of that body in Ra-
leigh was an outrage upon the good
name Of North Carolina. He was
telling some unpleasant truths
truths that cut to the core-and
some hit dogs" howled so loud that
the speaker could not continue his
address.
1t is true that Coon chose a rather
inopportune time in the sense that
Champ Clark was the guest and was
the next speaker, and some thought
that our States dirty linen"-edu-
cationally speaking-should not be
aired before so august a parsonage
as Speaker Clark. However, this is
no excuse for such marked illiber-
atty and discourtesy.
Coon should have been allowed to
speak-right or wrong. But more
especially, since he was pointing out
some grave evils in our educational
system that need remedying.

Whether We agree with the re-

no way to vindicate those who gave
him such unkindly greeting. AS the

the people of the South need educa-

value upon individual opinions, and
maintain too little respect for the
opinions of those who differ from
us. 1t is vital need, too.
