Thus the famous Xovoe Yreuiva lately had its man of straw sent to prison for four months; the lirst piece of work ho had done for some years, although he had been on salary all tho time. \ new theory why men of Caucasian st(>: !. need change of a;r is advanced by Or. Louis llobinson. His idea is that as tho progenitors of the fndoCormauic peoples wore nomads, a change of location at intervals is "craved by a deep seated hereditary instinct." To prove his theory he taltcs up the cae of wild animals in tneuageries au 1 shows how much better ;s the con iitiou of those in traveling shows than that of the iiuforliumto beasts in permanent zoological gardens. Tho same thin?: is seeu in reservation Indiaus. Tho.o who have freedom to range over huge territory will bo in good physical trim, while those confined to tho sa ne location fail rapidly. Among civilized people it often happens that a man wdl yam who exchanges good air for bad air, simply because his system craved change. Dr. Robinson holds thai the notnnudic ago of the world was tar longer than scientists have est.nmt >d, ami that the e'.Iect of centuries o: wanderiug life can never be eradicated from eiwiized men. It is an ingenious theory, whiMi can he cn'.orecd by * large amount of proof. Harper's Weekly relates that 13. W.

Mr. Mar ten's picture was published in the various papers is "flu Louisiana Water Tank," and he now seems to be in universal demand in consequence. One of tho largest anil best known mineral springs companies in this country, which claims to have supplied the water used at the Cliic.i.ro Convention, tins writtou to Mr. Marsten to secure a certificate from him that the roasou whv ho drank tho-o eighteen glasses >f wtiter credited to him was because he found it the best dnnkiug water ho had ever used.

A BRAKEJIAN'S STORY It was so qUt'et outside that when the Ion;: freight train won hi come to a stands;ill with an abrupt, awkward Jerk we cotihl almost hear the big. drifting tlakes as they fell. Not a breath of air was stirring and the big, round nioon littered down through the snowstorm with a white, sofieneii light that revealed near by objects in a strange, ghostly sort of a way. The soft-coal tire that spluttered tit fully in th?> old-fashioned cast iron upright stove lacked cheer enough to break the sp?ll nf the outside air. Without knowing precisely why. we sat mostly in silence or mot ored an occasional monosyllabic observation as to how soon we might reach Jersey City. We were four hours behind time and somewhere back of tts we knew was the West Shore express, likewise behind time and endeavoring to make up something of its lost run. Sitting in the little red caboose in the rear of the big freight train, rumbling along through a blind fog of snow with a dying express at our heels gave an uncanny sensation that I. for one. diil not relish in the least. The drummer who had boarded the train at New burg sat morosely on a pile of grips, which afforded him a softer seat than the hard, wooden benches strung along the sides of the ear. A couple of shippers anxiously discussed the prospects for getting their stock to market without having them half frozen to death. At the entrance of Joe, the brakeman. however, the glum little party seemed to thaw at once. He swung down off the roof of the last box car and in through the door in a cheery, wholesome sort of fashion that wanned us at once. "Joe," said one of the shippers, "be we going to reach Jersey City afore Christinas?" "Isn't this good enough for you to live In? ilow'd you like to be out )..... I-1.... . . I IJ wi HI us iv/-ii.fi nt; " 'Taint no snap, that's a fact," the shipper assented, j "No, you hot it. ain't." said .loo, doI clsively. "Hut this ain't a pateh'.ni; to i what it is sometimes." Sotiu tiling itt lite manner in witloh .loo carefully lill?*<I liis eoi? pipe, took a hit of s'i"!; t'roin t!i Iloor, poked it Into tite l'iiv and lit his pipe slowly ami thoughtfully, indicated that a story was eotaiii;;. "Strange," said .I?.e at last, with a ruminant look into the tire and a loua. steady pull at Ids pipe, "snmeh ?w tonight reminds met of the day afore Christinas two years a so. That was when we brought Johnny Haines home. Guess you must 'a known Johnny," lie i added, turning ti> the shipper. "Nope. Hoard of liim. <Io oil, Joe. What was the story'?" "Not lnueli of n one." Joe replied doprcratingly. "Just a linikeinan's yarn. only It's a little out of the common ' run. Tlie lirst day I rvor saw Johnny | Haines 1 thought lie was ahout the j hand somes! lad 1 ever s ! eyes mi. He eatne up on No. i? mi li??r lirst trip.

He tried to keep out of Bill's way, but when 'Bill' said he was afraid, Johnny turned and walked squarely up to hhn and said quietly: 'You take that baek.' I never knew Just how It was done, tuit 'Bill' made some sort of a feint, and the next moment the big, hulking lubber was lying on the ground. 'Bill' didn't seem to know what lilt him. But he went nt Johnny with such a savage look that a lad without geuuluo pluck would have turned feather. But wheu 'Itlli' lay sprawling on the grfnind a second time we found out that Johnny was a acicntltic boxer. There was an ugly gleam in 'Bill's' eye when he got up, and as lie got close up to Johnny all of a sudden he nourished a big jaekknifo he always earried. llow he got It out of his poeket I never could tell. He made a lunge, but Johnny dodged clev- i erly and the knife Just grazed his face. I Hi. w?a on mil' onlotr.iM ....... i. ? ... ?... in i itlUll II UllVt'5 t?? toll it, choking the life out of him.

I think afterward 'Bill* * eanse to think as much of him as the ' rest of us. "I'p the road not very far from A I- ? batty there is a pretty little farm that ' runs down to the river, and right at ? tlie corner of it was a water tank. It ' happened that on this farm there was t a dark eyed little girl who was the * idol of all the boys along the road. ? She wouldn't tlirt with us, but she ? used often to come down to the water t tank and get little packages which the engineer, who was a friend of the t family, used to bring down front Al- * bany. Site was plump and peachy, t with dark eyebrows and long lashes, t and under them the prettiest pair of 1 eyes I ever saw. There wasn't one of 1 us win) wouldn't have married her t quick if she'd hail us. But she was t sort o' reserved and shy and noue of 1 us had nerve enough to make love to I her. All except Johnny. All the girls > smiled on Johnny and he smiled on < them.

To woo was to win with r Johnny, and regular as his train pass- > i?d the farm Jenny?that was the little dame's name?was always there to t meet him. We used to eh a ft Johnny 1 a good deal over the matter, but we 1 eouldn't get miieh out of hint. Some- 1 how, through the engineer or some- I body, though, we found out that John- i ny was aroint to marry the girl if he ^ eould get his father to consent. lie couldn't very well marry on the sal- i ary he was Rotting as a raw brakeman. v "Things ran along through, the sum- t liter and Into the fall, and we noticed t that Johnny had {tot very quiet and T reserved like, and was evidently broodlug over something. At last we foil nil :i out that Johnny had been promised a r raise, and that along about the lioli- t days he was to he made a passenger v. brakematt. and then h" was doing to 1 get married. Tlcre wasn't otio of us i that wasn't glad of it. or who envied i him his good luck. The fall stretched way into the winter, I remember, ami 1 u?y, wasn't ii beautiful wgather! You'll I stand np on top of a ear. and as the \ train wound along the river sh >re mile 1 after mile, just drinking in the air 1 and view, limiting is a hard life, with 1 lots of danger and pretty siltn pay. Hut those days we'd forget all about the hardships and everything else. Johnny was on the same train with : me and happy as a lark, thinking how i l> would marry and go up to Albany t to inc. i used t<> notiee, though, that i every mice i:i ; while liis brow would I cloud u;>, as ir he was thinking of 1 something that iiurt lilin. 1 "Such we:, her couldn't last, though. 1 and v. h t: the end cauic. it came with 1 a squall. The thermometer dropped < forty degree.-, ami a cold, driving rain that ha I set in in the afternoon turned toward night into a drifting, blinding snow. We had a big train that night. 1 a.til with the snow and the sleet and the cold it gave us no end of trouble. 1 Site parted three or four times going < not more than twenty miles, and it was cold, dangerous work clipping along ti'o top setting I)rakes or getting down to te/.ke eounlings.

I looked up and through the snow uud the dark I recognized the landmark, und knew we were Hearing the water tank, where Johnny's girl lived. Just at that moment the train gave a frightful Jerk and I saw the euglue go reuriug in air, and about a hundred feet ahead I saw a lantern swing wildly in the air and go down. 1 went flat on the ear and hung there for dear life. We stopped in ten or twenty yards and 1 swung off the ear like mad. '(Jreat llod.' I thought, 'if that was Johnny!' "Siiiiiiifhlni/ i... ih*" iri'i icili ii?' had gene under tlio wheels, atul when 1 ernwled ahead a few ears there 1 found hltn, lying all white and still. He was too much stunned to say a word. We picked him up and started to carry him to the house where Jenny lived. I saw that the wheels had cone over both legs over one near the thigh and the other below the knee. My, but he was a game lad, for all the torture of carrying him up the hill wouldn't wring a word from him. We knocked at the door and said one of the boys had got hurt- -that the engine ttad Jumped the track. A white little race came to the door and looked at is a moment, and then as soon as she saw me and my face Jenny shrieked >ut, "It's Johnny!' Hut she didn't faint or cry. nor say another word. We just carried him in aud put liini 011 he bed and she took charge of him. Jne of the hoys rode over to get a lector, but when he came he saw at nice that it was no use. It was only 1 question of how long Johnny could survive the shock, lie lay there very juietly, and tinaily when the doctor's examination was finished, he said: "Is here any show, old man7" "I couldn't reply, but he knew as I urned my head away what the answer was. Johnny was quiet for a 1 lioiiHMir, iiiKi men pulling Jenny's baud ,vith Ills own weakly, lie said in a msky voice: 'Little giri, I want to go tome.' And that lie insisted an all the est of the night. We didn't think hat he'd he alive l>y morning, lint he vas, and we decided to put hint on >oard the morning express.

I used to grind corn and other grains for the pigs, but years of experience havo taught me that the most I got out of it was hard work, writes John M. Jamison in the Country Gentleman. The trouble with the farmor in this mutter lies in the fact that he gets an idea into his head and works in that line without nny data to show whotber ho is correct or not; his experiments are one-sided and in tho direction of his prejudices. If ho thinks ground feed is the thing, ho feeds it; but ho does not feed anothor lot on whole grain by way of comparison, thut ho may know which is best. Careful experiments have been made in this di n-v.iuu >>_y lucu wuo wurK oniy 10 kuow tlio l'acts in the case. So far the summed-up cvuleuco is ugainst grind iug corn lor pigs. Pig feeders who feed meal lose sight of ono vory important fttet. When a pig eats meal, whether wet or dry, ho Joes it hastily. If wot tho moisture far, uounected with it cannot tuko th<*^ [)laco of saliva as u digestive agent. If Jry it is eaten too quickly lor tho meal to become thoroughly saturated with the saliva. When a pig is fed wholo joru in the proper manner his mouth is tilled with saliva in anticipation of Lhe enjoyable morsel when ho comes to it, and as ho grinds tho corn you an notice the saliva escaping from his month. All tho corn that lie grinds is thoroughly dampened with saliva before it is swallowed. When meal is Tod, whother as slop or dry, it is almost impossible to prevont some waste. When corn is fed wholo all cun bo iaveil, for a properly fod pig will father tho Inst grain, lint if meal is vorked out of tho trough it is in tho nam lost, or if slop is thrown out it u also lost. If a pig does not got out of wholo lorn all tlicro is in it, it is because of loino mistake 011 tho part of tho feeder, ind is not tho fault of the grain.

Tho only animal of tho hog kind bat I should think of grinding corn or would be aged sows that have worn >ut their teeth by yoars of grain grinding, and I doubt if they would my the miller and labor bill. In heso hard times it is well for tho pig eeder to give thcso things some bought. If tho pig will not pay for helling the corn and taking it to the ail), why pay tho miller toll for ;rindiug?
