Tom Craig' Wonderful Pig.
Our friend, Jacob Staff, sends ns the
following, and assures us that it is a gen
nine article:
"The owners of fox dogs in Ilarrison
county have all been telling about their
line dogs and their achievements; but
Captain Tom Craig no,w comes to the
front with a story of a pig that discounts
all the doK yarns that the fox dog own
ers have been spinning. Captain Craig,
being accosted with this scribe's usual
salutation 'tell me something' said: 'I
have a fox dog that I want to tell you
about. He is of the "root-hog-or-die"
species, and is about 3 months old, and
was a present to my little boy from m
neighbor, Henry Stevens. He is a com
mon looking speckled pig, and has been
raised a pet with the puppies. He eats
and sleeps with them, and when 1 go
hunting he goes too, and will stay out
with us three hours at a time.
" 'It would amuse you to see him cir
cling to come in and head the dogs when
they get to far ahead of him. Of course
he cannot keep up with them when they
are running fast. The other night we
were out hunting and the pig got be
hind, but he cut in and 60on caught us,
and was with us at the tree. I would
have paid a good price for a picture of
the scene at this tree. The dogs laid
down, one of them drawing a bed of
leaves around him. The pig went and
laid down with him, putting his head on
the dog s forefeet, which were crossed. ' "

One of the main reasons why a bride

she thinks he knows everything. Some

A Preparation for the Bath.
Those who are troubled with offensive
perspiration would do well when talking
a bath to use a preparation made a3 fol
lows: Take of soap powder and powdered
borax each one-half ounce; essence of
bergamot, six drams; oil of lemon and
oil of neroli, of each two drams; oil of
rosemary, t'nirty drops; attar of roses,
five drops.
Or, if this is too expensive, the drug
gist can use the soap and borax and sub
etitute cheaper perfumes. The oils should
be well rubbed with these bases in
mortar and put into a bottle, which
should be kept corked and in a cool place.
One-half to one tablespoonful may be
added to an ordinary bathtub full of
water. This will be sufficient for clean
liness; at the same time it will prove an
admirable deodorizer. Boston Herald.
Spiders Perseverance Not Appreciated.
Ever since the story of Robert Bruce
and the spider that insect has been pro
verbially held up to view as an example
of pertinacious skill. An attempt to
establish instinct as a guide to reason is,
however, a fallacy. The setting hen is
an example of instinct, not maternal
constancy. This perseverance of spiders
may have been an encouragement to
.Robert Bruce, but it is often a discour
agement in engineering work. In sink
ing plumb lines down shafts for middle
healings in tunneling in order to obtain
an alignment for the tunnel, the accuracy
of the work is often seriously impaired
by spiders attaching their webs to the
lines and drawing them toward the
walls, often with sufficient tension to in
troduce material errors in the position of
the plumb bobs. Cor. Engineering.

of the box are covered smoothly with
ribbon, and the word decoration may be

Good Machine and Poor Workmen.
It does not pay to fit tip a shop with
poor machinery if yon want good work,
nor do you want to put bad workmen in
charge of your expensive tools. You are
doing things by halves, introducing a
bull into your china shop, and playing
with fire in a manner that is certain to
result in burned fingers. Good machines
will never do good work in the hands of
poor mechanics, and although a good
workman will often do wonders with
the poorest of tools, the combination is
not economical, and is usually unsatis
factory to employer and employed. Good
tools operated by competent mechanics
last longest, do the best work, produce
in every way the most satisfactory re
sults, and are always cheapest in the
long run. Safety Valve.
The inquiry among French authors as
to the relative value of the real and
ideal in fiction called forth the following
from a lady: "In order to charm and at
tract me a novel should be sentimental,
impassioned, graceful, elegant, full of il
lusions and not the simple photograph
of my ordinary existence, which weighs
me down on account of its vulgarity and
commonplace, which follows me every
where, which 1 know too well and which
I would like to forget."
Pretty Design, Easily Worked
tire in Result.
Roman embroidery, or cut work, for
the ends of bureau scarfs and cushion
covers, is now seen everywhere. In
this the design is outlined in a close
buttonhole with bright-colored silk, the
connecting tnreaas put m last witn a
small wheel work or knot in the center
cross, to secure them. Cushions of
every conceivable, shape can be had in
the stores, in white muslin covers, for
chair backs, head rests, and sofa cush
ions. A very pretty design is a round
sofa cushion covered with golden-brown
China silk. The center of the cushion
is first covered plainly, and a puffing
round the edge is put on afterwards.
The embroidered overmat or cover, is
of ecru jean, worked with ffolden-
brown silk. Two of these circles are
needed; the under one is left plain ex
cept for the scallop on the edge, and
the eyele.ts. After the buttonhole out
line and cross threads are put in, press
the work and cut the material away
under the threads, so as to show the
silk beneath. Lace the back and front
pieces together with a brown silk or
gilt cord. In a square cushion, a good
effect . is made by puffing the silk
through the center, and lacing across;
the embroidered corners, being triangu
lar, re sewed in with the sides.
in tne nat aouoie cusnions, used on
chair backs joined across the top by a
lacing through gilt rings, the front
cushion has a cover of linen or silk bolt
ing cloth, with Roman embroidery.
The scallep is along the sides and lower
edge, and little silk tassels are sewed to
each point across the bottom. Ladies'

Antiquity of the Domesticated Dorse.
The horse was probably first domes
ticated on the plains of Central Asia.
This must have .been at a very remote
period, for on the sculptured monuments
of ancient Assyria we find highbred,
carefully caparisoned steeds given in ad
mirable outline, showing how familiar
and how favorite an object the horse
must have been to the Assyrians. The
mane is long and flowing or curled or in
tassels. Three horses abreast drew the
chariot in which were three warriors.
Saddle horses led by grooms or bearing
horsemen are delineated, sometimes in
the thick of battle.
The horse was doubtless introduced
into Egypt as late as the time of Hyksos,
and sculptured representations of it are
often conventional types peculiar to later
Egyptian art. Instead of the life and
energy displayed by the Assyrian horse,
there is a rather weak attempt to repre
sent life and energy and the effect pro
duced is mechanical. Probably the horse
of the Delta did not compare in beauty
or speed with the Assyrian horse. Ber
jeau says he was more like the Dutch
horse of our day. Caroline K. Sherman

The Bnt Fc Treatment.
The best and most satisfactory treat
ment of the face is a daily bath, tepid
water with white castile soap, followed
by the use of cocoanut oil, and lastly a
copious rinsing in cold rain water. This,
with gentle friction, gives a pink and
white glow to the face and a good tone
to the skin, especially if followed up
diligently. A moderate use of the tine-'
ture of benzoin upon the face at night,
if carefully removed in- the morning
with soap and water, is softening and
refining to the skin. A careful diet and
plenty of vigorous exercise are aids to
a good complexion.

De Got the Seat.
A nice young man got into a tram car
a few evenings ago, and saw to his de
light the only vacant 6eat was by the side
of a young lady acquaintance. He made
for that seat with joyous strides, and her
eyes answered his with delighted looks.
But just as he got there an elderly party
walked up and dropped into the coveted
6eat. The young man approached more
6lowly and accosted the young lady.
"How is your brotherr" he asked; ia
he able to get out?"
"Oh, yes!" she answered.
"Will he be very badly marked?" he
continued, and the old gentleman grew
suddenly interested.
'Oh, no! she said, "with the excep
tion of a few marks on his forehead."
'Were you not afraid of taking It?"
the young man continued, while the old
gentleman broke ut in a cold perspira
tion.
"Not at all," she replied; "I had been
vaccinated, you know."
The Beat was vacated instantly, the
two innocent young hearts beat as half
a dozen, and the prattle of "nice talk"
strewed that part of the car, while an
old gentleman scowled upon them from
the distant corner. -London Tit-Bits.
