Managing a Pig. . -.very farmer's boy who has ever attempted to lead or drive, coax or force, a hog, knows the meaning of the proverb, "As obstinate as a pig." That Irishman has become famous who so thoroughly understood porcine nature as to drive his pig to Dublin by pretending that he was going to Cork. If there is one thing in which the hog is more stubborn than in another, it is in the matter of locomotion. If he is wanted to move, he stands still, and a push forward causes him to retreat double the distance of his involuntary advance. He is stiff-necked in doing the very opposite of what he is coaxed to do. A pig just taken out of the stye was surrounded by three Scotchmen, who were trying their best to get it into a roomier place, sixty yards distant, that it might be killed. The pig would not budge an inch towards the open door of the slaucrhter-Den. Then the Sotchmen became angry. One laid hold of the pig's ears, the other seized a foreleg, and both pulled, while the third man twisted the tail. The pig squealed and gained several inches sky ward. The man at the tail, maddened at the pig's stubbornness, belabored it with a stout stick. "What in the world are you doing with the pig?" shouted a stranger, coming up. '-What are we.doing with the pig, is it? It is nothing we are doing with it, but we've been trying to get this perverse daughter of an ujjly father into yonder shed. And we are likely to be beaten." "Leave her to me," said the stranger, "and I'll put her in, unaided." "There's not a man in Lochaber can do it," growled one of the pig fighters. "Perhaps not," replied the stranger, smiling. "I am not a Lochaber man, but a Lesiune man, and I think I can manage the pig, if you will let me I try." "Try away; let us see what you can do!" "Keep away, then!" said the stranger, slipping up behind the pig; and catching her by the hind legs, he lifted her up as though she were a wheelbarrow. The pig, resting on her forefeet with her snout close to the ground, remained quiet. The stranger, giving her a slight push, and trundling her backwards and forwards once or twice, to see if he had command of the ani mal barrow, steered her right into the ; shed, and at its furthest corner let * the hog go. A clergyman who had seen the stranger's triumphant wheeling, studied out the philosophy of the feat. When caught up by the hind legs, the weight of the animal was thrown almost wholly upon the fore-feet. The slightest impulse moved it forward, as it had no "purchase" by which to stand still, or to move backward. Its quietness was partly due to the brute's astonishment, and to a sense of If a nf f 11? 4 _ iu unci iien?icaaut:33. uuu parny 10 the weight of the viscera thrown forward into the thorax, interfering with the use of the vocal organs. As soon, however, as it was let go, the hog yelled lustily. Schools and Press of Mexico. It is a lamentable fact that but a 1 small portion of the Mexican people are | able to read and write. The total i number of illiterate persons is not deQ-1 nitely known, there being no accurate , census returns to which references can be made. The most reliable estimate! that can be arrived at places the num- j ber at 7,000,000, or fully two-thirds of j the entire population. It is safe to say that of all the daily i papers publisbe.l in the City of Mexico no one of them has a circulation of 500 copies outside of the city of publication, while it is more than probable that the combined outside circulation of all the dailies will not exceed that number. I have been in a Mexican city of 12,000 inhabitants, where not a single copy of a daily newspaper was subscribed for by the entire native population, and where not fifty newspapers of any kind were received at the post-office, except those addressed to residents and visitors of foreign birth.?Indianapolis Times. What Makes Complexion. A pigment under the epidermis makes the complexion. The colored person has a black marment. th* hrn- I nette a light brown pigment, and the blonde a still lighter pigment. When there is no pigment in the skin, an Albino is the result, with pink eyes, white hair, and white skin. When there is an excess of pigment, freckles, moles and birth-marks appear. Freckles are not alone due to the action of the sun. Some people have them in abundance on the parts of the body not exposed to the sun. The hairs are hollow lubes, and have a supply of pigment sent into them which determine the color of the hair The pigment comes from the blood. White hair may bo from absence of pigment or from the presence of air in the tubes. Tho " Street Cars " of Hong Kong. The next interesting thing to the "sampan" is the "jinrika-sha" onshore. Thie :s the principal mode of conveyance for persons, 'vliey are merely man carriages?as the name signifies in the native tongue?upon two wheels. Their capacity is for two persons generally, but some will only seat one comfortably. Like the "satn-pan" upon water, they are the principal thing to be seen upon shore. A large sized baby-carriage with two wheels ami a pait of shafts would come nearer to a resemblance than anything I can think of in our land. It is | something astonishing to witness the en- j durance of these "rika-sha'' men. as they i trot for miles about the city and through- ) out the country without a rest or slack- j eniug of pace. Their excellent training ; and constant muscular exercise are exhib- j ited in the well-developed muscles of the : leg and arm which are exposed. The fare for each passenger is ten cents per hour, under ordinary circumstances, with a few differences for various occasions, all of which is regulated by a tariff fixed by the authorities. Thus, you see, it is cheaper and more convenient than our streetcars. The danger question is obviated, the facilities for stopping and starting, with i many other attendant advantages, are ob- ' viously better than any system we have. | For transportation of people it has the j advantage, but for things it is quite differ- ' eat. Something for the l)undj. Tlio dandies of Venice in its golden days piqued themselves on the elegance | of their visiting cards. At one time they j carried a picture of the Rialto; at an- i other the fashionable pattern.was a sketch I of some of the statues round the Vallcat | Padua; but the more modish icsthetie were not contented with cards that were cast off by the hundreds for everyone, but designed their own cards, bestowing much labor and ingenuity on the work, or thev eniploved some distinguished urtist to furnish them with a design. Even Canova did not refuse to put his ! genius to this service for his friend Ca- j pello; and one of the most beautiful of these Venetian visiting cards is that drawn and printed in London for Alviee Pisasi by Henry Treshani, the English printer. He Cannot Help It. You will find a hundred reasons given I for falling in love, or being in love, and rarely the right reason?which is commonly because a man cannot help it. lie 1 is in love bccausc a mysterious force in 1 nature has touched him. The woman \ may be unbcuutiful, heartless, selfish, , cruel, untrue, coarse, frivolous, empty, but if the mngic of nature?something of ! mis JllllglC, i SUSpCCl, llllll 1'UCK HSL'll Oil || the eyes of Titania?touches him, he sees !, not one of these things in their true j aspect. Yes, the Titanias that have fallen j in love with serpents, thinking them ; ' doves, are ninny?and all because of a | | diabolism, or mystic fury in nature that j delights in bringing incongruous ele- j ments together. j , How To l'lease Others. 1! The way to make yourself pleasing to j j others is to show them those small courte- j sies in which there is no parade, whose : voice is too still to tease, and which maui- 1 fest themselves by tender and affectionate j looks, and little acts of attention and kindness, giving others the preference in j | every little enjoyment, at the table, in the , 1 field, walking, sitting, and standing. 1 Imaginary Wants. 1 A great number of our wants are special * wants of the imagination; we want them simply because we think that we want i them; they give us no enjoyment when < we obtain them; the want of them is only known by a disagreeable feeling that ] we are without them. j K- ? i Truth. i The adversity that has no God snaps like the bruised reed in the blast, but the f adversity that confides in God clings like the ivy around the oak. j 3 Tlic Worlds Champion. ;; Mr. Edward llanlau, the great oars- ' man, and until his receut contest with Beach in Australia, the champion of the j world, may certainly be looked upon as an authority in ever}-thing affecting nth- } letic sports. Before leaving Australia for this country, he wrote u letter in which ;; he stated he had used St. Jacobs Oil with ! I the most beneficial results. He found it a reliable remedy for muscular pains in c the arms and limbs, and from his per- 1 j sonal experience took great pleasure in 1 recommending it. No stronger proof of ! ( the truth of what is claimed for St. | Jacob's Oil could be furnished than this, 1 and it will undoubtedly carry great weight < with all thoughtful and intelligent people.

It rotds: : V(AkMNiii * : , This Bridge ik Deemed Unsafe! : : All. Persons are Warned that : : they Cross at their Peril! : * It does indeed 6eoin a perilous proceodin/; to cross that bridge. The street cars hav? long ago boon withdrawn from it, ami it has been left to pedestrians and to such vehicle* and animals as are taken by their owners across tho risky passage. It-- curves are very peculiar; and it has a shackling ami shambling appearance, as if it was trying to mtik? up its mind whether to fall to pieces now. or to wait till tho completion of the new structure which is to take it* placa A policeman on duty recently remarked to one of our correspondents who risked his life in walking across this venerable bridge, "'Taint no more dangerous now thai* it has boon for a good while." What the, matter with tho bridge is, that it is "weak in the back." just os a great many woary and worn-out people are. It has boeu doing duty so long without refreshment or bracing up, that it feels as if it were about to die. It has a discouraged look, as if sorry its time for dissolution has not yet coma. Well, as every bo: I j' knows, tho work on the now bridge is progressing briskly, and before a great while the old one "must go." To build a new bridge to take the place ot? an ?ld unv u Wilis WIIU'II mo DUII'Irrs ailll engineers perfectly understand. To repuir the worn-out hninuu system when it is "weak in tho back" and debilitated and dilapidated, is n work repining a different kind of skill, and different ways of pro -ceding. Among the Hindoos, when people become so "weak in the back"' tliat they seeni likely to be of 110 further use, their relations take them to the bunks of tho river Uaugos, stuff their mouths with mud, and let them dia. We can (lo hotter in this country. Wo rest ore such people by a well-known and very popular something which is put into their mouths for tho purposo of renewing their wasted strength and of bringing them to new health and vigor. It does iis work, too, and their lives are prolonged for further usefulness. Among many of tho .Nashville peoplo on whom our correspondent called, in gathering information as to the building up of the weary imu Liiu luur^ iil^ ill illOM.' wil'J WITB JUIiering from the weakness produced by overwork. was Mr. H.

"I Wjib troubled with indigestion, dysjiepsia and genpral debility. 1 was not e.victlv laid a^id; fr)in work, for I dragged myself lo my duty with a constant feeling of weariness and of good-for-notliinguess. I was also greatly vexed with costiveness, much of which prol?ably arose from my sedentary i aiiits. Vou want to know how 1 got well. 1 answer that Ualf a dozen bottles of Brown's lion Hitters ilid the work for me. A year ago last sum iner. when 1 was very much run down, and tho lieat of the weather had contributed lti share toward reducing mo, I began talcing this tonic, which was recommended by rnj sis'er, who lives in Fluvanna county, Vir ijinin. She and several other relations had used it with remarkably good elle -t. Th< street on me proved quite as good an it had been on them. It built up my system, grail ually. but. surely. It j>\ve me such strength us 1 had not for a long time enjoyed. It removed the costivenoss and made the functions of the digestive organs natural and regular. "I was so well pleased with what Brown's Iron Hitters did for n:e that I tried it on my little daughter, who had for some time been poorly, ller system needed building up. She tiad lost flesh and strength, and was much run down. On taking the medicine she soon began to gain. It did for her all I could expect. "I have spoken of this Hitters to many friends, and I bo Have it has done them good. It is a very superior tonic." Perhaps it may 1h> delightful to some people to feel languid and forlorn and "weak in tlia back," uiul to be generally ana ^<articuarly in prospect of tumbling to pieces, like the old bridge which is "dtttmeu untafe." Hut to bring the system up from that condition of languor, to tone the stomach, to help ihe liver, to banish headache, and to give trength, health and vigor, there i9 no tonia so safo, so eHicient, so delightful as Brown's Iron Hitters. The immense popularity ol this remedy is not only in Nashville but all aver the country; in fact we might say tho world. Mrs. A. J. Gordon, Hillsboro, N. C., says: [ fully accord to Brown's Iron Bitters all merit claimed for it; ?specially recommend it for neuralgia. Two aoses cured me of * severe case when other remedies failed.
