E. Wise, vetinary surgeon, has at his office, put up in a glass jar in achohol, the body of a dead pig which is attracting much attention. The animal was found Monday on the Peak farm.

Those caring to see it can do so by calling at the office of Dr. Wise—Hartford City News. An affidavit alleging that he procured money under false pretenses was filed in the court of Mayor John . Mock this afternoon, against George Edward Hawkins, an insurance agent who was in Bluffton Monday, selling “cheap" insurance, and who is said to have vicitmized forty or fifty Bluffton men. He sold policies, or offered policies at the rate of $1 premium per thousand for one year, and the supported insurance looked so good that the fellow- did a land office business for a time.—Bluffton News. “Most devasing of all weapons are the new Skoda shells of the allies which are 17 inches in diameter and weight 2.800 pounds. The Skoda howitzer shoots at a high angle and its shell penetrates twenty feet into soft earth before exploding two seconds after striking. These howitzers do not resemble the Krupp mortars of the same calibre to which they are said to be superior in every way. “When a Skoda shell hits it means death to everything within a radius of 150 yards and even farther off. The mere pres-; sure of its. gas rips open the bomb, proof shelters and catches those who escape the metal fragments. This ga.-i. enters the body cavities and tears flesh asunder, sometimes stripping the m«n of their clothing. Os course the men" in the immediate neighborhood of the explosion are anuibiliated. "So fierce is the beat of the explosion of the shell that it melts rifle! barrels as if they had been struck by lightning.” (

TWO BEARS IN EVERY FAMILY “Bear and Forbear” Mean* Peace Not Only In the Home, but In the Neighborhood. An old saying has it that there should be kept in every family two bears—“bear and forbear.” Forbearance will often save friendships strained almost to breaking. It means peace in the family and between neighbors. It smooths one’s way through the hard places in life. When the angry or Impatient words come rushing to the tongue, forbear. When an irritating thing is said or done and your impulse Is to resentment or retaliation, forbear. To bear an affront in silence or to turn it off as though none were Intended has prevented many a quarrel. Os course there is another proverb that says there Is a point where forbearance ceases to b» a virtue. And as in most proverbs there is truth in this, tool It means that habitually putting up with every affront, knowing no* point at which to resent attacks, is simply to invite insult and injury. There is a time when resentment has its place, but there is never a time sot revenge. , Forbearance is the better motto. There is less danger of our being too meek than too quick to take up the quarrel.—Milwaukee Journal. ORANGES TO PUT OUT FIRE ingenious Man Uses Juice of Golden Fruit to Extinguish Blaze In * California. Orange juice as a fire extinguisher was successfully used at Fillmore, Cal., by Will Wileman. While crossing the Bardsdale bridge with a load of oranges, Wileman noticed smoke issuing from a crack on one of the approaches—of the bridge—a fire probably caused by a lighted cigar or cigarette carelessly thrown away. He jumped from his wagon and discovered a blaze slowly eating its way upward from the planking. With the help of several passers-by he hastily spread several armfuls of oranges from his wagon over the crack and started stamping on them, causing the juice from the golden fruit to penetrate through the crack to the fire, extinguishing it. Naval Cutting Tools. Extraordinary results have been obtained by the bureau of ordnance of the navy department with cutting tools produced by a novel process. Instead of making the tool from highcost tool steel, containing the carbon and other elements in its entire mass, these tools are made of soft steel, easily shaped into the proper form, and then treated by the so-called “infusion" process, the carbon and other elements being placed in contact with the metal in the form of a special powder and subjected to a heat treatment which causes the soft steel to become hardened to such' a depth as to convert it into cutting material even superior to the far more costly tool steel. Milling cutters made by the infusion process cut deeper, faster and farther than tools made of the best carbon tool steel, and fully as well as cutters made from modern high-speed tool steel of far higher cost. The infusion process appears superior to any hardening process hitherto in use at the naval gun factory. Bacteria in Meat. In recent issues of the American Journal of Public Health there is described a new method of determining the bacteria content of meat. The meat is ground in a mortar with sterile sand and normal salt solution to obtain an emulsion for inoculation into the culture media, and the report described the application of this method to the determination of the bacterial content of a number of samples of market hamburger steak. The result showed that the standard of 1,009,000 bacteria a gram sometimes advocated as a maximum limit for the salable product is much too low, as nearly all the samples examined would be condemned on this basis, though showing no taint or other evidences of putrefaction. The authors propose a limit of 10,000,000 bacteria a gram, though even on this basis the market samples of hamburger steak would still be condemned. Easy to See Parable. Life insurance companies estimate that there are from 30,000 to 40,000 people in this country, beneficiaries of policies, who have made no claim for the money that belongs to them and whose whereabouts is unknown to the companies. Every effort is made to find the heirs of policyholders who die, but often the attempt is futile. Wealth running into the millions awaits the appearance of claimants who can make good their title, but, either through ignorance or indifference, no rightful hand is reached to take it. In which is a parable, for life is full of treasures that may be had for the mere opening qf the eyes to see or the expanding of the heart to accommodate, and yet thousands live and die without them. —Exchange. Largest Rose 19 Inches. R, S. Hardie Baugh, a rose enthusiast of Ontario, Cal., is displaying a bloom of the William Shean variety which measures six inches in diameter and nearly nineteen inches in circumference. The rose is perfectly formed and fragrant. Mr. Baugh declares that a fertilizer of rotted potato parings was responsible for the mammoth blossom. In color it is of a delicate ghadg of ftinlfc. z

TH-E.WEAK POINTS Our Experts have made a thorough study of the weak points in binders and the Walter A. Wood binder has profited thereby to such an extent that it is absolutely the lightest running and strongest machine on the market. Not only have they remedied these defects, but have added several improvements, such as an absolutely dependable knotter, perfect sheaf separator and easy adjuster to meet all conditions of grain. It would require a book to tell of the many other good points so we extend to you a cordial invitation to inspect one of these machines and see for yourself the economy and labor it will save you.
