Standing near a hog yard one dav hist summer, I noticed a fine porker wallowing in a filthy mud hole grunting away as I supposed with contentment— when suddenly the ears of my understanding were opened and this is the substance of the animal's soliloquy : “Yes, here I ant wallowing in the filth because no clean place is provided.

a., j/a x, , AHVJVI. People cml up their snouts (noses they cull ’em) ami talk about hogs being’ such misty ereatures, ami plenty of them have decided Unit we are not fit for food (wish they’d all come to the same conclusion). I don’t mind being eaten, but the injustice is what riles me. Here we are shut up in this hot, barren yard without water, and there is no creature more sensitive to oeat and cold. Nature demands that we have a cool, wet place in the summer to wallow in, but no one ever thinks of scooping out a hollow in the earth and sup. plying it with clean water; no, we must take a nasty foul place like this and return to it day alter day. But it is enough better than we get in the winter; then we are all huddled into the dirtiest little pen where we have to lie in a pile to keep from freezing. People think we are only hogs, I suppose, but I wish they knew how much we need clean quarters and fresh straw beds. Now I don t think we are as dirty as other animals that nobody thinks of calling filthy. If I had my way I would be clean. And then there is all this howl about triehinse. Who is to blame, I wonder ? One thing Ido know, we don't hatch the creature, whatever it is, ourselves, and if people took care of us wo would not have it. Bats and mice, they say, are alive with them, and so long as they build our pens so that they can come in and eat up our corn, we are bound to Cut .. trichinae, and when people eat ns, they get it —serves ’em right too. Then if a sick hog or cow or anything of the kind dies they feed us the diseased meat. ‘Anything is good enough for a hog they say, and it makes me smile, knowing that we are being fatted for their table. We are naturally hearty eaters, and our susceptibility to cold makes us glad to eat anything to keep up heat in winter. And then our drinks, oh me . The wash of everything and milk all spring from a sick cow. They said the milk wasn’t fit for anything but the hogs; don’t see why they mightn’t as well drink it as to give it to us and then eat us, only in one case they would have the blame themselves, in the other they can put it on—the hog. How often I have watched the people caring for their horses and thought of the difference in their treatment and ours. Their house is cleaned and aired every day, they have the cleanest water to drink, and the cleanest straw to lie on, and besides they are combed oil, curried I think they call it, and sometimes washed. Now if a hog had half such a chance as that he might be somebody too. Well, well— 1” and then his swineship buried his nose in the mire and I heal'd no more. —Prairie Farmer.

A NATIONAL EVENT. The holding of the World’s Lair in a city scarcely fifty years old will be a remarkable event, but whether it will really benefi ibis nation sis much as the discovery of the Restorative Nervine by Dr. Franklin Miles is doubtful. This is just what the American people need to cure their excessive nervousness, neuralgia, nervous debility, dullness, confushion of mind, etc' It acts like a charm.

REMARKABLE FACTSHeart, disease is usually supposed to be ncurable, but when properly treated a large proportion of cases can be cured Thus Mrs. Elmira Hatch, of Elkhart, Ind-, and Mary L. Baker, of Ovid. Mich., were cured after suffering 20 years. S. C. LiuburSer, druggist at San Jose, 111., says that Dr. Miles’New Heart Cure, which cured the former, “worked wonders for his wife.” Levi Logan, of Buchanan Mich., who had heart disease for 30 years, says 'wo bottles made him “feel like a new man.” Dr. Miles’ New Heart.

It seems that Dr. Pillsbury, of the United States service, was married about three years ago to a lovely you g Los Angeles lady, but was almost immediately ordered to j in the Asiatic sq ladron, bis bride remaining here. Ftom one emergency or another he was kept abroad until a few weeks ago. During his absence his wife prepared a sip-prise for her husband by- studying medicine. Unfortunately, however, she entered a homeopathic college, her husband being of the allopathic pelsuasion. She had just received a diploma when her hi sba ul returned, but they had hardly < xcliangeu afiect innate greetings when a messenger came rushing iu to say that a man had just fallen out of a third story window around the block and for whom a physician was required at once. The husband made baste to obtain his instru- ntr, but when he reached the scene >f the accident he was astoni.-hed at beholding his wife engaged in feeling the patient’s pulse. “What does this mean?” exclaimed the surprised practitioner. I forgot to tell yon, darline-.” ex-

- v j’oi, muring, explained his wile. “lon see, I am a ’ i regularly qualified homeopathic physician.” “Homeopathic ?” sneered the husband, getting very red in the face. ’ “Yes, pet,” said the doctress, sweetlv. “This dosing people with bucketfuls of slops is getting out of date, precious.” 1 “And so you have actually been roped in by that gang of pilule-peddling pi- ■ rates?” “Don’t be rude my dear,” replied the female specialist. “You can’t expect to keep up with the march of science in China. Just stand back and let me save the patient.” “Save fiddlesticks,” snapped the allo path. “Go home woman, and cease trilling With human life, or perhaps you had better scrape lint while I resuscitate the subject.” “Why don't you two quit fighting and go to work?” said the victim’s wife, who had just concluded she wouldn’t look well in black. “ When this female person withdraws, ” said Dr. P., stiffly, “I shall proceed in the regular way. ” “I will not be answerable for the consequences until this old fogy is removed,” snapped his wife. You re a quack I” roared the male M. D. “You’re a butcher!” screamed the female one. And in this way thev went on until somebody- announced that the man was dead. And now the judge says that if he 1 refuses their divoice petition he’s afraid they’ll begin praeting on each other and he thinks 11^ ’ ’ ■ ( ; San Francisco Chronicle. MISSING LINKS.
