A Gladstone Story.

In Lord Rosamore's "Things |
Can Tell" he gives this story at the
expense of Mr.. Gladstone and the
home rule agitation: "The subject
of home rule always reminds me of
the day when old Gladstone sat
down and Mrs. Gladstone made a
speech on the hustings. Said she,
addressing the throng: My friends,
| found it very hard to convince my
dear husband about the claims of
Ireland for home rule, but one day
when he came into the breakfast
room he remarked to me: "My dear
wife, you've overpersuaded me about
that downtrodden country. You
have at last converted me in favor
of home rule" | got up from my
chair, put my arms round his neck
and gave him a loving wifely kiss
She paused to see what effect her
words had produced, and ar ire
pressible Irishman called out, And
it sarved the ovid beggar parfectly
right"

TRUFFLE HUNTING PIGS.
Theirs 10 q Luxurious but Q Sad and
Disappointed Life.

Disappointed Life.
The most luxurious pig in all the
world is, as it painfully happens,
the most unhappy, the most dissat-
isfed, the most deceived. Her splen-
did lot in life is to hunt for the de-
~licious truffle, which, alas, she is
never allowed to devour.
Her full name is La TRUE, and
she inhabits the pleasant sunny land
round Perigueux and Sorges, in
France. She is the trufle hunting
pig par excellence and belongs to a
very special breed, which is as much
looked after as a thoroughbred
racer. There is as much difference
between her and an ordinary pig as
there is between a motorcar and a
steam roller.
Sometimes as much as fl00 is
paid for a trufies pig, the animals
special value being that through
long and careful inbreeding it is
born with an instinct for trufles-
not merely an instructive love, but
a marvellous instinct, which leads it
infallibly to discover where they are
hidden away in the earth.
This is the tragedy of the trufles
pigs luxurious life. ...u
From youth upward she is fed on
the daintiest morsels. Nothing is
given that might spoil her fine taste.
La TRUE is born with this fine
taste, which belongs to her breed
and which has been carefully foster
ed for years. When she has grown
up a little she is led forth one fine
morning at the end of a slack rope
on a great trufle hunting expedi-
ton. The man who leads her has
no more exact knowledge as to
where the truf1es are actually hid
den in the earth than a purblind
owl.
But La TRUE can scent one, so
fine is her instinct, if it be hidden
nearly two feet under the surface.
Down goes her head with its pc
culiarly long, well bred snout, and
she is roofing at the brown earth
with all the energy she possesses.
As has been said, this instinct is
infallible. A dozen inches or more
down the pig finds the trufie she
has nosed. Forth shoots her snout,
her mouth is just opening to re-
ceive its just reward, when-she is
hauled back with a sudden painful
and not-to-be-denied jerk, and a
sharp pointed stick prods her away
from the delicious morsel.
And the business has only just
started when gathered. Women
peasants with long experience scrub
them ~delicately with hot water and
n~ailbrushes, and others peel them
just as carefully and gently, much
IN the manner in which potatoes are
scraped, for as they come from the
earth they look like black fungi and
run about the size of potatoes.
The district of Perigueux and
Sorges supplies the whole world
with trufHes. They are finer here
than anywhere else. Like mush-
rooms, they need a period of warmth
and rain in order to insure a good
season, which extends through Dc,
tober, November, December and
January.-London Mirror.

pinches.
One thing in MaisePs favor, he is
alive to every opportunity. His OppO-
nents must be on the alert every mo-
ment to prevent him getting a little
extra distance on the paths. Yester-
day he dashed from first to second
when Chase made a poor return to
CicOtte after the latter had tried to
trap the Yank off first. Many players
would not have been able to seize
the chance. Maisel also has the adj
vantage of breaking into the big
league late in the season, when he
will be given every opportunity to
make good. This was what made
Bush the great player he is. He came
to Detroit at time when the Tigers
were faIteTing, and by his nerve and
dash carried them through to a pen
nant. A yOUngster has much easier
time breaking in in the fall than in
the spring. In the fOrepart of the
season there are so many recruits
that there is not enough time to give
him full attention.

The value of the pinch hit was
never more clearly shown than yes

contrary, the SOx smOte at the right
