of them recently It was one of a lot of seven which were placed in i board pen the bottom board of which had been removed Mr McDonald knew that they had seven pigs He happened to observe the pigs through the crack of a fence as they stood at a trough He counted eight pairs of front feet all in a row r y9riJ ri Vjir V ill r i A Vi - rf19 m nox a id thought couldnt count lie looked over ine fence and counted seven pigs lie walked back a few steps and sat down on a log Presently he found himself counting the pairs of feet through the crack and remarkable as it may seem and even downright puzzling to him as it was there were eight pairs of feet Xearing the fence that there might be no mistake he carefully counted the pairs of feet and there were eight lie climbed upon the fence counted the pigs and there were seven A chill of superstition seized him and he got somewhat stampeded and began a homeward retreat in wild dis order But in his demoralized condition he met Mr Oldham and related to him his trouble The two returned and counted the pairs of feet through the fence There wore eight They looked over the fence and counted seven pigs Then they resolved unanimously ta catch

It is a well nnderstqod fact that people are taller in the morn ing than at tiight Of course the dil ference is extremely trifling but all the same a difference exists It seems that during the night the joints and muscles straighten out and stretch during the day the frame settles to gether and the muscles contract The experimenter has rigged a set of pul leys and weights which he attaches by easy fitting bands to his ankles and also under his arms One set of weights hangs over the foot of the bed the other from the head lie claims to have increased his stature three inches with in a few years The process he de clares to be not specially conducive to comfort and restfulness but greatly de siring to grow taller he has not al lowed the discomfort attending it to in terfere Granting that this is true and certainly it has a scientific basis peo ple may grow taller according to their fancy It might be that if children were properly looked after and framed in in order to remove the weight from their joints that they might be brought up to almost any stature Iviciht to Catch SohIs The dilhculty witli Great Britain in regard to the Behriug Sea arises out of the claim of the United

practically free to Uussia Great Britain and this country but in 1S0 the North American Com mercial Company obtained from thq United States a charter conferring up on it the right to the seal fisheries in Behring Sea and the islands and naturally sought to exclude British and Canadian lishers The result has been the lengthy diplomatic controversy be tween the two countries the difficulty
