FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer.

It Is learned that number of new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some OF the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result Of this research has been
the finding of x essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, blank
verse relation Of WelIknoWn legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer Of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
Of effort.

oDoR OF CHEESE AIDS sLEUTH
Stolen Limbureer In Possession Of
an Alleged Burglar Leads to
His Arrest.

Danbury, Conn.-Stolen limburger
cheese put the police on the scent of
burglar the other day and as re-
suit Hans Hermann, twenty-five, was
locked up at police headquarters
charged with having burglarized two
clothing stores and delicatessen
store of money and articles worth
$500.
After the burglaries were reported
to the police in the morning, Detec-
tive Barker was assigned to the cases.
He found the muddy imprint of shoe
on piece of white cloth under a
window through which the night
prowler had entered one of the cloth
ing stores and he took measurements
of this. The detective, however, found
his best clue in the delicatessen store
where he learned the loot had in
Guided several pounds of Imburger
cheese. The sleuth was soon on the
trail Of several persons known to
have fondness for imburger cheese,
but failed to secure evidence to CON
meet any Of them with the burglaries
Late in the afternoon the detective
learned a man was eating some
odorous cheese in the railroad yards
Barker fastened there and found
Hermann enjoying a luncheon of
li1nburger cheese and crackers. The
youth insisted he bought the cheese,
but he was arrested. When searched
a large chunk of limburger cheese
was found In his pocket
Hermann, the police say, later ad-
mitted he robbed the delicatessen
store, but denied he made the other
entries. ~

The possibilities of the hog is mat
ter almost entirely in the hands OF
the feeder
Red clover In bloom is not good for
hogs, but when young it makes fine
pasture.
The growing pig requires protein
and not much corn. 1t is all right
to give a little corn, but too much is
harmful.
bear In mind that one with heavy
bones is more to be desired than one
OF slight build.
Neither rape nor clover alone will
do for growing, fattening hogs. They
must have some grain twice day
for best results.
To make fall pigs do well, they must
be provided with warm stepping quar-
tiers at night, and filled with sunshine
during the day.
Don't select heavy, lazy SOW for a
breeder. She should be mild in dis
position, but possessed of sufficient en-
ergy to take exercise.
The practical remedy for little pigs
that are liable to be troubled with
thumps is to provide them plenty of
exercise and large range.
The pure bred hog will mature and
come into money more quickly than a
scrub, and bring more money for the
same weight, at thar.
The farmer who marketed his corn
in the hog yard, and who is now mar
keting the hogs, can look any man IN
the face and tell him to go to any old
place.
One acre of alfalfa will furnish more
forage for hogs than two acres of clo-
yer, as it grows faster and keeps on
growing as fast as the hogs eat 1t
down.
Pigs will live and grow on rape
without supplement of grain, but a
small addition of the latter is profit
able. Dry sows will, however, do well
on rape alone.
Never feed more than hogs will eat
up freely. Many farmers do not prac-
tice this, but keep 81 quantity of I'M
eaten food lying about the lot at all
times.

Silence In Church.

It would seem quite natural to OBJ
serve silence from ordinary converse
ton In church, as we are gathered
there for worship of him before whom
all flesh Is silent. Yet there are many
churches where the talking needs a
rebuke. To go into church before
the service and hear buzz of CONVEX
sation going on is both distressing
and disturbing to those who wish to
pass their time In prayer and quiet
ness. 1t is equally out of place to
see and hear the greetings and ordi-
nary flow of talk that goes on directly
the service is over. If once a congre-
cation could taste the Joy OF silence,
say for a month, they would never
wish to go back to the fashion of con-
versation. We have so little time In
which to realize the presence of God
that 1t is dreadful to deprive ourselves
or others of the comfort and help. He
to whom we build our churches said
that they were to be houses of prayer.
places, wherefore Of quiet, for we can
not pray well in the midst of the dis
traction caused by greetings and con
versation. Sometimes we fancy the
clergyman might more frequently call
attention to this, although we can
quite understand his dislike to be find
ing fault with his people. After all
1t is not finding fault, but rather the
