The train had just left Easton, and thc conduc tor was making his first round, when hs observed a small white dog, with a bushy tail and black eyes, sitting coz ily on the seat beside a young lady so handsome that it made bis heart roll over like a lopsided pumpkin. But duty was duty, and he remarked in his mo3t deprecatory manner: "I'm very sorry, madam, but it's against the rules to have dogs in the passenger cars." "Oh, my, is that so?'" And she turned up two lovely brown eyes at him beseechingly. "What in the world will I do ? I can't throw him away. He is a Christmas present for my aunt.'' "By no means, miss. We'll put him in a baggage car, and he'll be just as happy as a robin in spring." "What ! Put my nice white dog in a nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage car?" "I'm awfully sorry, miss, I assure you, but the rules of this company are as inflexible as the laws of the Modes and them other fellows, you know. He shall have my overcoat to lie on. and the brakeman shall give him grub and water every time he opens his mouth." "I just think it's awful mean, so I do, and I know somebody will steal it, so they will !" And she showed a half notion to cry that nearly broke the conductor's heart, but he was firm and sang out to the brakeman, who was playing a solo on the stove : "Here, Andy, take this dog over into the baggage car and tell 'em to take just thc best kind of care of him." The young lady pouted, but the brakeman reached over and picked the canine up as tenderly as though it wa3 a 2-weeks' old baby, but as he did so a strange expression came over his face, like a wave of cramp colic, and he said hastily to the conductor: "Here, you just hold him a minute till I put this poker away." And he trotted out at the car door and held ou to the brake wheel, shaking like a man in the ague. Thc conductor no sooner had his hands on the dog than he looked for a hole to fall through. "Why, wh-why. this is a worsted dog !" " "Yes, sir," said the little miss de murely. "Didn't you know that ?" "No ; I'm most awful sorry to say I didn't know that." And he laid the Christmas dog down in the owner's lap and walked out on the platform, where he stood half an hour in the cold, trying to think a hymn tune to suit the worst sold man cn the Lehigh Yal'! ey. _ Holographs. . A straw stack is a very unfavorable place for a hog. To prevent hog cholera the essen tials are good food, pure water, and clean, dry quarters. It will pay to cook the small pota toes before feeding them to the hogs; the hogs will thrive better, and the potatoes go farther. The sows will have more pigs and do better if kept thin. About two weeks before farrow, give plenty of milk-pro duoiag food, and feed them well while suckling. Mother sows require more than twice as much food as other hogs when the pigs are three weeks old, and if they do not have it, both the sows and pigs will suffer. While there must be caution at first, the rule is to feed the brood sows liberally. Cleanliness in feeding will increase thc use of our pork and pork products in both our home and foreign markets where quality counts against mere quantity of fat and mud flavored meat. Neither does it take an epicure to de tect the difference. There is more than one reason why we should strive to procure a large percentage of lean in our pork; per haps the most important is that we may increase the consumption of our pork, while one almost as important is that it enables us to increase the vig or and stamina of our herds. Hogs should possibly not have ac cess to ponds or wallows, for these af ford most favorable conditions for the development of disease germs. The drinking water should bc from deep wells. The same rule as with human beings; and the food should be clean and fed in clean vessels or upon clean floors. There is a positive need in feeding the hogs something more bulky and less concentrated than corn, if the feeder expects to keep them in healthy condition for any gree.t length of time. There is nothing better or cheaper than pumpkins to feed with corn, and when thus fed, they will fatten faster than when fed upon corn'only. That swine should be allowed to slack their thirst from pools of stag nant water, is so opposed to common sense that it is a wonder it did not long ago become an abhorrent cus tom. Though not fully appreciated, half the cases of hog cholera would be avoided were our herds supplied with pure water from the pump or the brook. Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin Ex periment Station, finds that cabbages have a great deal of value-more than potatoes or turnips-as a swine feed, especially in the early part of the fat tening period. The cabbage is large ly used in England for feeding both hogs and sheep. It ia found to be an excellent addition to a grain ration, as it aids digestion and prevents "cloying" when grain is being fed heavily. Why He Was Late. An eight-year-old. San Rafael boy was being lectured on obedience last evening, says the San Francisco Post. "I told you that you could play with the Wilson boys till 5 o'clock," said his mother. "Here it is 7 and you are just home. Why didn't you come when I told you?" "I did. mamma." "Don't tell me a falshood. Why didn't you conic home a y o'clock?" "I started home at ">." "Then you stopped to play on thc way." "Xo, mamma; sure, I didn't." "Do you expect mc to believe that it took you two hours to walk half a mile? I think I shall have to punish you for telling me falsehoods." "Honestly, I started home at 3 o'clock and came straight home." The mother led the boy into the kitchen and took down a whip. Ile turned pale and tears welled up into his eyes. "Now, sir. will you tell me the truth?" "Yes es, mamma: Charlie Wilson gave inc a mud turtle-ami I was afraid -to carry it --sol ledit home."

They were going to try a colorea man for stealing a quantity of raw cotton, and when the hour arrived 1 wcut up to the Court House to hear the case. Thc prisoner was a man about 40 years of agc, and had elected to plead hi.? own cafe. The prosecu tion proved that the bag of cotton was found in his cabin, and the property was fully identified as belonging to the owuer of a compress. The prisoner asked no questions, but said he wanted to make a statement and rest his case "wid dc Lawd." After awhile he was given an opportunity to speak and he said : "I war' gwinc by that compress at 'leben o'clock at night, when a voice called out to me : 'Hold on, dar, Abraham Jones ! Yo' was a pore man, au' you jest take 'long dis-bag o' cot ton to buy yo' sum shoes fur cole weather.' Hen de bag fell at my feet an' I dun took it home." "Did yo' recognize thc voice?" asked the Judge. "No, sah ; but I reckon it was an angel who spoke." "Then why did you hide thc bag when you got home ?" "Well, sah, jest as I got frew de gate anodder voice tole nie dat I'd better hide de cotton fur a few days." "Did you recognize that voice ?" "No, sah , but I dun reckon it was a voice from Heabcn." "And that's your defense, is it?" "Yes, sah. Ize willin' to rest dis case in de Lawd's hands. De Lawd knows I nebber stole dat cotton." "Hadn't you better have a lawyer ?" suggested the Judge. "No, Sah. Ize bin gwine ter church fur dc lastfo'ty y'rs, an' I'm rcstin' dis case right in de bairds of de Lawd." "I shall have to give you four months in jail, Abraham." "Huh ! What fur?" "Stealing that cotton." The prisoner received his sentence without a word, seeming to have ex pected it, and was taken away. Two weeks later I met him on the streets of Selma, 50 miles away and said to him: "Why, I thought you were in jail for four months over at Florence !" "Yaas; I was," he replied. "I remember that you put your case in the hands of thc Lawd." "Yaas. sah; an' I cuni out all right." "But you got four months." "So I did, sah, but arter garvin1 fur nine kays de Lawd showed me how to dig outer jail an' yere I am an' dey won't git mc again !"-.!/. Quad, in St. Louis Republic. "Murder Will Out." The solemn text, "Be sure your sin will find you out," had a strange, al most ludicrous, illustration in Pitts burg a short time ago. The house of Police Surgeon R. L. Taylor was entered by a burglar. The doctor, however, frightened him away. He caught but a glimpse of thc man and could only tell that he was a negro. Searching the premises, he found that thc thief had taken nothing away, but in ransacking thc kitchen for thc sil verware he bad found a piece of pumpkin pie and. taken a bite of it, leaving a clear impression of his teeth. Dr. Taylor made a plaster cast of the tooth prints. The next day a negro was arrested on suspicion, and his teeth corresponded exactly with the mold. When he was confronted with this evidence he made no defense. The burglar who robbed the Canal Bank in New Orleans many years ago was identified by thc fact that he must have been a tall man, or he could not have reached the stolen notes and coin from where he stood; also that he must have had a loose tack in his shoe, which left an irregular print. The town was searched for a tall man with a loose tack. One day such a man was seen by a detective pulling the tack out with his knife in a hotel. He was instantly charged with the crime, and " acknowledged his guilt. The simple records of fact surpass any plot which Conan Doyle or anyone else can imagine. Not Ashamed. Some years ago walking along the shaded streets of a prosperous New England city, I saw a little incident which has always remained as vivid in my mind as on the day I witnessed it. A group of boys, averaging about a dozen years of agc, were gathered at the foot of one of the great elms, when a lady passel, and in response to her greeting one of the lads raised his capfrom hishead and answered, "Good evening." Thc lady had hardly turned the cor ner before a storm of ridicule broke from the little group. Apparently thc courtesy of lifting the hat was not familiar in the town, and the boys seemed to think thc opportunity of airing their wit at their companion too tempting to be let pass. The lit tle fellow was a year or two younger than a majority of the others, and it was not surprising that thc jests and laughter brought tho blood to his cheeks. But I shall never forgot the ring of manliness in his voice as he cried: "Well, *ou can say what you like, I'm not ashamed of hoing a gen tleman."- Youny Peoples Weekly. Learn to be Pretty. Thc woman who is indifferent to her looks is no true woman. God 'meant woman to be attractive, to look well, to please, and. it is one of her duties to carry out the intention of her Mak er. But that dress is to do it all, and to suffice, is more than wc eau bc brought to believe. Just because wc do love to sec girls look well, as well as live to some pur pose, we would urge upon them such a course of reading and study as will confer such charms as no modiste can supply. A well-known author once wrote a very pretty essay on the power of ed uction to beautify-tha*t it absolutely chiseled the features; that he had seen many a clumsy nose and a thick pair of lips so modified by thought awakened and active sentiment as to be unrecognizable. And he put it on this ground that we so often see peo ple, homely and unattractive in youth, bloom, in middle life, into a softened Indian summer of good looks and mel low tones. Parrot and Snake. A few days ago thc attention of thc family was attracted by his excited calls for "Helen, Helen, or, Miss Helen !" followed by continuous shouts of '1 Ho, ho, ho!" Thc first was not unusual, but the last was. Au inspection of thc back porch, where thc bird's cage was hanging, found him straightened out at full length and staring intently at a small garter.snake on thc floor. The snake seemed bewildered at thc outcry and lay still with uplifted head. Content at having summoned his friends, thc bird ceased his shouts with one tri umphant "Hurrah !" A hoe speedily appeared on the scene, but thc snake had vanished, presumably to thc ground below. A little later, however, the shouts for "Helen !" again uprose, ?nd there was the intruder emerging from the dining-room. This time the hoc ended its career, amid the laugh ter aud hurrahs ol' thc delighted par rot, which evidently understood all about it.- Jacksonville (Fie) Citi&n. Thc Law of Divorce. l'hero is much apprehension concerning the laws ofmarriago and divorce, partic ularly in regard to the latter. For a di vorce to be valid outside the jurisdiction ol' tho court granting it br.th parties to the suit must appear before the court. Such a divorce, no matter where granted, is valid in every 8tate in the Union. It has boen hold valid in England hy Justice Denham as "iriternaiional law"." "Full faith and credit" must be given it under the constitution by all State courte. A "Dakota divorce" of this kind is as valid and sound as a divorce can be made. No divorce granted by any court in Christen dom can be any better. No divorce granted by tho court of any State, whether of New York or Dakota has any validity outBide the jurisdiction of the court granting it, or will be recog nized as anything more than a piece of blank paper by the courts of other States, where the dofendant is the resident of an other State and does not appear in the action. Such a decree is not recognized by the Federal Supremo Court as a "ju dicial proceeding" by which the courts of other States are bound, (109 U. S . p. 732), One State, and one alone, New Hampshire, by special statute, is an ex ception to the rule, its courtB recognizing all divorces as valid. AU attempts to belittle or vaunt divor ces granted in any particular State is wrong. No courts ? any State have any preference. Whether the divorce is valid or in valid in other States does not depend upor. the State in which it was obtained, but upon the manner-whether both par ties were before tho court in person or by an attorney. If thej were, the divorce is valid by the Federal Constitution in ev ery State, and all courts are bound by it. If on ly OL6 appeared, then it is valid only in tho State granting it and in New Hampshire. This is the fundamental law of divorce. But what constitutes appearance before tho court? Suppose one party to the suit cann ot be found? Or suppose he is with out Lie jurisdiction, and the papers can be Ber ved upon him only by publication? Suppose he refuses to respond? How far will the law presume a constructive ap pears net? Those are questions tobe determined by tbe Court in every casi of questioned divorce in which they may be raised. Pillsbury Commercial Gazette. Science of thc Ancients. Prof. Goodman says tho thing that most impressed him when visiting Pom peii was the resemblance between many of the implements of 1,800 years ago and those of to-day. On looking at the iron tools grouped together in an old factory there he could almost imagine be was gazing into a modern tool shop, except for the fact that there was a heavy coating of rust on the iron. Sickles, bill hookp, rakes, forks, axe?, spadep, blacksmith's tongs, hammer?, soldering irons, plane?, shovels, etc. are much like those used to-day, but the most marvellous instruments found are thoBo fer surgery, beautifully executed and of design exactly similar to some recently patented and reinvented. In creditable as it may appear, Pompeiians had wire ropes of perfect construction. Their bronzes reveal great skill and artistic talent. The bronze brazir and kitchener bad boilers at the side and taps tor running off the hot water. Ewors and urns have been discovered with interior tubes, and furnaces precise ly like the arrangement now in vogue in Bteam boilers. Metal safes bad substan tial locks. Many of the locks and keys are most ingenious, and some are com plex. Tho water supply of Pompeii was diacributed by means of lead pipes laid under the streets. There were many public drinking lountains, and most of the large houses were provided with fountains, many of them being of very beautiful design.- Glass and Pottery Magazine. t A Preacher Defend? Suicide. The sensational sermon which the Rev. St. Croix Wright preached in New York on Sunday night, in which he defended and even advocated suicide, has met with the vigorous protest from press and pul pit his dangerous heresy deserved. And the consequences of his rash utterances might have been 'more troublesome still if any one had suicided in pursuance of his strange advice, as it was clearly point ed out that to advise or abet anyone in an effort at self-destruction wa3 a felo ny. In th 9 course of his remarkable sermon he advanced the idea that suicide kept even pace with civilization, of which it was tho highest type as well as product. "The hst survivor in Custer's rally sur roundei by savages, and with no hope of escape, was justified in killing himself to escape an inevitable death accom panied by torture. We have a right to kill ourselves or our women relatives in such a case to prevent outrage. In cases of sickness, incurable and burdensome, where the Bufferer longs for death, and the friends and relatives consent, I should advocate that a physician, with' the con sent of the State, be allowed to kill the patient under the supervision of a magis trate and other trustees or witness As we bava a right to live, so we have a right to die; that no man can take from us." Such shameful utterances as these make ua wonder how far the sensational pulpit will go.-Augusta Herald. Mr Risingcr's Shocking Death. BATE?JIJURO, Lexington County, Jan. 23.-Mr, Jacob Risinger, of the Hollow Creek ?ection, of Lexington County, went to Leesville this morning after a tombstone to put over tbe grave of his son, who was killed in a railroad accident in Alabama last year. While in the depot he heard an engine, and, in attempting to cross tho track to attend to his team, he was knocked down by the engino and instantly killed. The engino was cut loose from the freight train at this placo and waa going to Lewiedale for water, when tba accident happened. Some peo ple think tho engine was running too fast through the town of Leesville. Mr. Risinger was a hardworking farmer and was much liked by his neighbors. It is 8-?id that his body was fearfully mangled. -Special to Neus and Courier. - A law in New York giving a lien on a tombstone for the purchase money has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of that State. Tho Court in its decidion says : "The Act in question is almost without precedent in the legis lative history of the State. Jt confers upon the lieners the right to go upon the plaintiffs burying ground and dig up and remove the monument and sell it at public auction without the consent of the ownor. In removing tho monument they may desecrate the gravoa and disturb the remains. * * * Every civilized coun try regards the resting placo of tho dead as hallowed ground, and not subject to liens and to be Bold upon execution like ordiuary property. Courts of Equity have always been ready to restrain those who threaten to desecrate the graves of the dead and to protect the sentiment of natural affection which the surviving kindred and friends entertain for their departed relatives." - Advance in surgery seems to more than keep stride with the timos. Pretty Carrie Bacon, aged !?, hasjnst benn dis charged from a New York hospital, after a trying ordeal. Early in December she met with an accident which split her lip, tore her tar, knocked her entiro upper jaw back to tho palate, and scattered nine teeth. Three surgeons and a dentist sewed and mended, half-soled and up holstered bor month, replauted ber teeth, and finally disoh:.rgad the girl without a scar, just ia good as new.

Miller, a missionary in Foochow, speaks first ol the boys. One fourth of the chililron of tho world are bom to Chinese parents, and the goddess j Mother is tho most diligently worshipped, SO that thov all may bo bojs Hut ibis is a hard thing for even so great a goddess to control, and many girls are born. When the news of a birth is announced everybody asks, just as they clo in Amer ica, "Ia it a boy or a girl ?" If it is a boy all the friends of the parents call at onco to offer congratulations and presents, but if the baby is a girl they extend sympathy. The kindest remark toa', the disappointed mother ever hears under such circum stances is, "Well, a girl is worth some thing." Every city has a baby tower built on its outskirts, which is the bury ing place of infants. Not infrequently a newly born girl is drowned, left on a missionary's door-step, thrown into the street, or, before alie stops breathing, is tossed into this death house. - The following letter written by a young Irishman who lives in Kansas to his father in the Emerald Isle explains the situation in that State since the recent Populist victory: "Dear Father: I wish you would come and settle in this place, for your business is much better here than it is where you are; and, besides, I dare say you would soon get to be a colonel, a justice of the peace, a member of the Legislature, or a constable, for in this country they have mighty mean men to fill these offices." - It is going to be a crime in Kansas hereafter for a woman to ride a bicycle, if a member of tho Legislature has his way. This thinker avers that if the p rao tioe of riding bicycles by women is con tinued, the human race will be extin guished.
