Hog Cholera,
The Greatest drawback to the hog
Indufitry which breeders In this coun
try have to contend with Is what Is
known as "hog cholera" and "swine
plague."
Hog cholera Is a highly contagious
disease and unless checked Is liable
to carry off a groat number of hogs in
a very short time.
Mr. A. P. Williams, of Uurnetts
Creek, Ind., tells of an experience
which he had with somo hogs that
had the cholera. "Five years ago,"
says Mr. Williams, "I was in tho em
ploy of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafay
ette, Ind., as his barn foreman. Some
fine hogs that I was feeding took tho
cholera. I gave them Sloan's Lini
ment and did not lose a hog. Some
were- so bad they would not drink
sweet milk and I was compelled to
drench them. I have tried It at every
opportunity since and always find It

OLD SURGEON
Pound Coffee Caused Hands to
Tremble.
The Burgeon's duties require clear
Judgment and a Bteady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir
reparable damage to tho patient.
When he found that coffeo drinking
caused liis hands to tremble, an Ills,
surgeon conscientiously gave It up and
this is his story.
"For years I was a coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled bo I
could hardly write, and Insomnia tor
tured me at night.
"Besides, how could I safely per
form operations with unsteady hands,
UBing knives and instruments of pre
cision? When I saw plainly tho bad
effects of coffeo, I decided to stop it,
nnd three years ago I prepared some
PoBtum, of which I had received a
sample.
"The first cupful surprised mo. It
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
timo I gavo somo Postum to a friend
who was in a Bimilar condition to
mine, from tho ubo of coffee.
"A few doyB after, I mot him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de
claring he would never return to cof
fee but stick to Postum. Wo then or
dered a full supply and within a short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling, as well as insomnia, disap
peared, blood circulation became nor
ma, no dizziness nor heat Hashes.
"My friend became a Postum en
thusiast, his whole family using It ex
clusively. "It would be tho fault of the one
who brewed the Postum, If It did not
taste good when served.
"Tho best food may bo spoiled if
not properly made. Postum should be
boiled according to directions on tho
pkg. Then It is all right, anyone can
rely on It. It ought to becomo tho
national drink." "There's a Reason."

WHY ROSCOE CONKLING QUIT.
'Attack on Hla Home and Family
Caused Him to Resign.
In tho lobby or the New Wlllard 1
found an elderly gentleman who had
been a friend of Hoscoe Conkllng. Ho
said:
"It does not seem like Washington
to mo without Roscoe Conkllng. I
miss that imperious form stalking
above tho avenues. Never," ho con
tinued, "can I forget the day that Ros
coe Conkllng resigned. There was
great, excitement over President Gar
field's appointment of tho Now York
collector of the port, and that was
the last straw that, decided Conkllng
to act. His feud with Ulalno was then
at its hvlght, and as Roscoe Conk
ling sat that morning in his accus
tomed place, It was noticed that his
face was paler than usual as ho
pointed out a newspaper paragraph.
" 'I can bear It all until It comes to
that,' ho said. 'When they attack my
home and my wife that 1b tho end of
public llfo ror me.' When the sacred
ness of my family lire Is trailed In
tho dust, that Is too much I am
going home, never to return here.'
"Tears glistened in his eyes as he
pushed back the half from his fore
head and said: 'Now I am going home
to earn monoy in my profession and
pay the debts that have accumulated
while I have been trying to help
friends.'
"He retired from public life, and it
was a great satisfaction to him that he
paid $40,000 of accumulated debts
within one year; no lawyer at that
time could command a higher fee than
Roscoe Conkllng." Joe Mitchell Chap,

Strong Passion for Gold.
Don Marino Torlonia, of the ducal

smiling, "show you what a tremendous
miser Arpagnio was. As he lay dy
ing In his cold, dark, bare palace of
stone on the Corso his one thought
was that, since he was too ill to eat,
a full lire a day was being saved on
the food bill. The doctor was an
nounced. The doctor, after feeling
Arpagnio's pulse, looked grave.
" 'Well,' said the miser, 'how much
longer have 1 to live?'
" 'Only half an hour,' was tho reply.
"Arpagnio's eyes Hashed lire.
" 'You 'scoundrel!' he cried. 'Why
do you let things run on to the last
minute like this? Do you want to
ruin mo? Send for the barber at
once.'
"The barber arrived post haste.
'"You charge.' said Arpagnio, '20
ceutcsimi for shaving?'
" 'Yes, signor.
" 'And for shaving a corpse five
lire?'
" 'Yes.'
"Arpagnio glanced at the clock.
Seven of the 150 minutes left him still
remained.
" 'Then shave me quickly,' he
gasped.
"As the operation finished Arpagnio
died. But. with his last breath, smil

Church Suppresses Melodrama.
The Russian church has intervened
to suppress a melodrama played to
crowds of the poor In St. Petersburg

precepts of the Johannltes, who ex

make confession to Father John, who
will gather together In Cronstadt 144,

you return to the sphinx you wonder
at it more, you adore more strangely
its repose, you steep yourself more
intimately in the aloof peace that
seems to emanate from It as light
emanates from the sun, And as you
look on it at last perhaps you under

LOST TEMPER WAS COSTLY.
Poet Banker Threw Awayand Bought
Back His Own Property.
Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet
banker, had a high temper and was
exceedingly sensitive. One day, exas
perated by tho crass stupidity of a
servant, he threw a book at his head.
Tho boy ducked and the book sailed
out of the window. After It hurried
tho menial, but ho was too late; a
passerby had picked it up and walked
off with it. Stedman began to wonder
what book he had thrown away, and
to hlB horror discovered that It was
a quaint and rare little volume for
which he had paid $50. His chagrin
was Intense, as tho work was almost
unique and the prospects of replacing
it were remote.
Some time afterward, when brows
ing In a second-hand book shop, our
splenetic poet banker perceived to his
great delight a copy of the very book
ho had lost. Ho asked the price. "It's
very rare," replied the dealer, "but as
you are an old customer I'll let you
have it for $40; nobody else could
havo it for less than $G0." Stedman
gladly paid the $40, got home with his
treasure as soon as possible, and sat
down to gloat over it. A card dropped
out of the leaves. It was his own.
Further examination showed that he
had bought back his property. It
cured him of casting books at serv
ants' heads. New York Press.
