lesson for Pig RaIsers.

Efficiency in pig raising was shown
in Louisiana, where two men selected
litter mates eight weeks old. At the
end of the fattening season one pig
weighed 500 pounds, the other ouly
81. The expenses were respectively,
$15.54 and SIS; and the one sold for
S5S, III, other for So. This means
weight in the proportion of / to 8;
expenses, 81 to 1; selling price, 7.25
to 1. Thus, scientific raising can
eliminate the notorious "razorback'
hog.

Effiqies Thought to Bring Luck.

The scarab of the land of the Pyra-
mids is the expression of the hope OF
resurrection and the desire to live
long. AS the beetle was supposed to
be always born anew, so the carrying
of the beetle or it's image came into
the customs of the ancients. The war
riors of an elder day hung the images
of gods about their necks, and many
of the brooches and pins of the old
fighters were the effigies of Iuck-bring-

FIRST BALLOON WITH RUDDER.

The first Siderable balloon, the fore
runner of the once-dreaded Zeppelin,
was tried in Berlin Sc years ago, but,
like many Of its descendants, it suf-
fered an accident and was disabled
in the second experiment, says the
New York Evening World. Helm
holtz was Ehe first to suggest, in
1872, that balloons might be steered,
if moving slowly.
The principle on which balloons
are based was first formulated by Al
bert Of Saxony, an Augustine Monk,
in the fourteenth century. In 1888
Joseph and Stephen Montgolder of
France made a successful ascent in a
fire balloon, and a few months later,
in the same year, two Frenchmen
made the first ascent in a hydrogen
balloon at Paris.
