PIGS,' AND MORE PIGS. £, c Wreck Send* the Police Flying Squadron on Run to Rescue—Pigs. CLEVELAND, O.—“There's been a terrible wreck and there must Da B hundred dead and dyinK." "There's a riot and they’re murdering women and children." “The beasts from Brookside zoo are out." “For heaven’s sake, come quick. My garage is haunted.” These and a score more similarly startling and conflicting messages sent police headquarter’s flying squadron all but flying to Lorain uve. near W. 45th st. “Men, have your guns ready," said gergt. Matt Farrell, as the Police ma chine ricocheted from the crest of the high level bridge and dropped into W. 25th st, still going a mile a minute. Just about two minutes later, by the (dock, the police car skidded to a stop at the Ixiraln ave. bridge where the Nickel Plate railroad comes up through the cut from the valley. “What th’—," the sergeant began. “Darned near hit a pig,” said the driver. ■What the sergeant would have said next was cut off by the appearance of three or four middle-aged citizens running. The moment they stood out in the glare of the arc light by the bridge and then they plunged down the steep bank toward the railroad “All out, men,’’ said the sergeant “And steady." Down the bank and along the tracks ran the policemen, and is they ran they began to hear screams and groans and squeals in the distance. For blocks around the people were running, around shouting frantically. And then, at a bend in the track, the flying squadron men came on the cause of all the excitement. Two freight cars derailed in the cut and turned over. And pigs! Pigs everywhere! Pigs clambering up hill and down dale, pursued by men and boys. Pigc sticking their snouts in at front porches and sending women into attics in fear. There were some pigs lying beside the railroad tracks, having been turned into sausage and bacon without the formality of an abbatoir service. Railroad men. police and citizens engaged in the good old fashioned sport of chasing u pig in an alley [ for more than two hours. Pigs were dragged out of back yard gardens and swill cans and garages and carried back by main force to the railroad, where they were put in spare cars. The flying squadron found it had plenty of work not only in aiding in th" V*«*f {•-
tain persons who seemed not adverse to domestic ating some of the animals { one way or another. Even when the hunt had ended officially there was lurking fear some of the animals might still be at liberty. “Pork chops for breakfast," some- ! one suggested to one of the flying squadron when they returned to the ! station. “Not if I starve," he retorted.
GIRLS DON’T LIE. They Only Fib, Canon Declares, In Discussing Juvenile Crime. LONDON—The feminine of ’’liar” is “fibber." That’s why women make belter liars than men. It sounds paradoxical, but Canon Peter Green says it is so. He was addressing the Liverpool police court on juvenile crime. “A criminal boy," he said, “Is silly. A criminal girl Is worse. There Is nothing to equal a girl who has got off the right track. Bad boys tell lies which can be spotted, but girls lie connectedly, circumstantially, and in a most interesting and probable manner, which takes infinite knowledge and wisdom to discover. The crimes of boy offenders convince me that their offenses are the outcome not of badness, but silliness and imbecility.’’ > Canon Green ascribes this difference between boy perverters and girls of the same ilk to the gentler criticism meted out to the frail sex. "If a boy at school is found out in a deception he is proclaimed a liar, and boys are trained from early days to despise liars. The term is deemed too harsh for feminine offenders, and the most they are ever found out In is a ‘fib.’ Girls will continue to fib light-heartedly, with never a blush when they are found out. This becomes a habit. And girls flb so efficiently that before long they are convinced of the truth of their own untruths and will add to a story with limitless imagination, never once garbling the yarn until it reaches a perfectly plausible and possible finish."
POLYGAMY DYING OUT.
Filipino Wives Benefited by Associ ating With Christian Girls. MANILA. P. I.—Girls of prominent 1 families in the outlying provinces are gradually eliminating plural marri ages among their own people, through the advantages obtained by assooiati ing with Christian girls.

THE READING EAST SIDE. From the fifteen eest-slde branch- •• of the New York Public Library below One Hundred and Twentythird street during the recent month ® T ® r 187,000 books were taken to homes for reading. From the nice west-side branches corresponding more than 86,000 volumes were taken. This is an average of over 12.000 volumes for each branch In the first instance and of less than 10,000 In tbs second. Two branches In East Broadway circulated respectively 10,690 books | snd 18.500. The Rlvlngton street station met calls for 16,823 books. From the East Eight street library went cut 15,912 volumes, from East Tenth atredt 17,087, from East Sev-enty-ninth street 18.164 books, from West One Hundredth street. These figures suggest a new view of neighborhoods often considered sa crowded and tumultuous. They reveal the reading east side. Among the mo^t popular library books not Action taken were isben's plays Mark Twain’s ’’Christian Science" and Bolton Hall’s "Thres Acres and Liberty." Toe taste In fiction ran to mystery and adventure. Among the young folks' stories most In demand was Louisa M. Alcott's wholesome and enduring ’’Little Women. There was a brisk request for Ralph Henry Barbour’s baseball story for boys. “The Crimson Sweater. It would be difficult to trace a eoclal menace from these literary
clues.
A BARRAROm RUGGKSTIOV. Dr. Andrew Christian, advocates the putting to death of all deformed end defective Infants. This Is not an altogether new subject, but It Is the first time the theory has been advanced by a Christian, either in name or faith. It is a barbarous proposition. An observer once said the most marked difference between civilization and barbarism Is the tender care the former gives to the weak members of society and his observation stands without contradiction. The duty of protecting the weak Is ennobling. The duty of the doctors i» to mitigate suffering and, when possible to make the weak strong, not to destroy them. The proposition to destroy the hopelessly 111 and the deformed Is advanced at lirogular Intervals, but it gains no following because the majority of mankind has never been willing to accredit to any human agent omniscient wisdom. It is better to leave some things to nature rather than to dogmatic doctors.

Interesting Situation Conceived by an Inventive Dramatist. In a very serious drama a prisoner was obliged to read aloud a letter which the Jailer brought to him. To save himself the trouble of commiting It to memory the actor had been accustomed to have the actual letter handed to him. One evening the jailer thought It would be a good Joke to hand the prisoner a blank sheet of paper. The prisoner, starting to read It, was for a moment thrown off his balance, but, recovering himself, said, with the most serene calmness: “Jailer!" “Yes?” “I am obliged to make an avowal to you. Brought up by parents of low estate, I do not know how to read. I beg that you will have ute goodness to acquaint me with the contents of the letter." The snarer was snared, but his wtt saved him. After nervously fumbling at the letter, the jailer saict: "Willingly, but 1 must go and look for my spectacles” Naturally he brought hack with the spectacles the Pennine letter.

They still Meet Yearly In Switzerland on a Sin.day. Tho open air parliament Is an old custom which still survives In some of the Swiss cantons Appenzell has two such bodies, one In the Roman Catholic part of the canton, the other In the Protestant end. Both meet on the last Sunday In April. The President Is escorted into the open square facing the Rathaus or town hall. In front of the platform where he takes his place the burghers stand bareheaded They take an oath to vote "for the good of the land and the avoidance of evil." The members of the cuntonal government are elected b> a show of hands. Then follow discussions about roads and various new regulations. The proceedings are orderly and dignified, not unworthy the setting of the picture, which is made by tho encircling mountains The Glarner parliament mdbta annually on the first Sunday In May. Canton Glarus, too, has had Its religious wars. But In this district the two religions did not separate as In other places, it was agieed by contract in 1623 that each denomination should have a separate government, but with a common open air parliament. Perhaps in no tov> u in tho world, says the Review of Reviews, do Protestants and Catholics get on so well together as in little Glarus. There Is but one church, belonging to both Protestant and Catholic parishes, and services are held for both every Sunday morning, one after th" other. At 10 o’clock on the morning of the first Sunday In May a detachment of smart infantry nnd a brass band accompany the President and the members of his government from the Town Hall to the mediaeval square by tho srhoolhou o Here tho President, Chief Justice and two secret u i s take their til: v on tho platform which the vUiaqc'rs have erected in the centre of a hu e circle marked bv Hers cf b mch' ,.

WHERE MAN FAILS. The feminine disregard for manmade laws Intended for their regulation has never been more striking!}’ emphasized than at the little town of Mellette. South Dakota, where the common council, responding to the complaint of husbands that their wives were devoting too much time lo bridge whist, passed a stringent ordinance against the game. This ordinance, which the councllmen seemed to Imagine could he enforced imposed a fine of from $25 to $100 ami several days’ Imprisonment upon any woman found guilty of playing bridge whist. The women of Mellette held an indignation meeting which fully Justified its name, pusced resolutions denouncing their wouldbe oppressors and made such a demonstration that the town marshal. a timid bachelor, resigned his office. Now bridge whist parties are more popular than ever and the obnoxious ordinance Is admittedly a dead letter.

‘They aro coarse grained and full of holes by reason of tho swift currents which affect their shape and quality. ^ few sponges are grown off the con't of Florida, but owing to the Gulf Stream, which Is particularly swift at this point, they are of very little value commercially.
