cow ADOPTS LITTER OF PIGS

An unusual instance of foster-mo-
thering was brought to light recently
on a farm owned by G. Anderson, near
Elkton, Md, where a COW was found
to be raising litter of young pigs. A
calf had been taken away from the
COW, and Mr.. Anderson expected to
get large quantities of milk. But he
was surprised to find that her output
was below the average, and he could
not understand why she had so little
milk.
A close watch kept on her revealed
the fact that she had somehow got
ten three pigs from a SOW whose
mother instinct had waned, and was
allowing the young porkers all the
privileges of her departed calf. The
pigs and their COW mother seemed to
be getting on well.

the former United States minister to
Brussels, has designed one of her
evening gowns from an old Venetian
engraving. The main fabric is of deep
and Venetian brocade, spangled in ir.
descent crescents, moans and fantas-
tic figures. The net forms half dra.
perry back and front, and is caught
by a girdle of baroque jewels with
wide clasps and dangling chains The

to the elbow and ending in cascades of
chains and jewels like those of the
girdle. Or her head she wears a BAN

THE TALE OF A BIG FEED

There are still some mighty eaters
left. Not long ago a Berlin market
porter undertook, for a wager, to put
away at one sitting six mutton chops,
twelve eggs, a goose, duck, six lbs
of potatoes, and twenty-five pounds Of
hay. Difficulties were anticipated
with the last course, and large sums
were laid against the accomplishment
of the feat The ingenious porter
solved the difficulty by calling for a
cigarette after he had finished the
duck. He then set light to the hay,
pounded the ashes up with potatoes,
and swallowed the lot. After a heat
ed discussion the referee declared him
the winner.

An unusual incident took place in
a London, Eng, court recently, when
a middle-aged man, Thomas Coy, who
was without arms or legs, was charged
with publicly exposing his deformi-
ties for the purpose of obtaining aims.
Coy had exhibited himself in a little
box in front Of piano organ. On the
organ was a printed statement to the
effect that Coy was an Englishman,
born without limbs, and that his ap-
peal to the public was his only means
of obtaining a livelihood. The man
told the magistrate that he was a to-
tai abstainer, and had been secretary
of a Good Templars' lodge. He wrote
with his mouth. In pleading guilty
Coy asked how he was to get living

FAMOUS HAMPTON COURT OAK

Special care is taken by the Eng
lish authorizes to preserve the ia
nous oak tree in Hampton Court
park. This oak, it is said, is about
one thousand years old. Its trunk is
about As feet wide, and, being hollow,
can afford standing room for a dozen
people. The tree has had several
narrow escapes from destruction. For
instance, some while ago, a quantity
Of dried grass and paper was placed
inside the trunk and set alight.
