THIS PIG STOPPED AT HOME,
Br A, Den.
I have already told the young 'readers of
this paper of the Pig than wail: to snaaet,
the nouble aha got ut and ema out of, It
eo happened theOld Pepe Peg said he wee
tired of going to market at the very time
that mamma pig said 013e was p tired of
stopping at home. So they changed pieces
anti the fat old,mah Pig niinaect the house
while madam went dowu teem.
The Fat Pig (we might; as well call him
ehat, as he was as big as any two of the
oilers), the fat pig I eay took a look arounn
hi a pen and put his nose high in the air and
snilled the weether, ".1 will have a quiet
day'," he mid tohimself, and then he went
over to the gate 0 see if he could stroll, into
the garden. He got under the gate and
Imade a big push and then it seemed as if
the whole world fell on top of him. But M
was only the gate off its hingcs and on to
his back, Ana after running around the
grounds two or three times he shook it off
in a bed of flowers, "1 never knew a gate
to stiok like that," he said; "gates ought
to keep to their poets better," BO he sat and
looked laztly at the gate for a quarter of an
hour and then felt better,
"1 must see where the folks: are," he
thought, and so he made his way
into the kitchen, geeing a couple of
hot baked apples on the way. To cool off
he drank out of a long bottle and it was
sour, and then out of a :Mort one and it was
hot, hotter thanithe apples. This took hia
breath away and be stepped over into the
dining -room and danced around till all the
eilver on the sideboard rattledeigain. "There
is no one in the whole house," said he, as he
entered the next room—a great big room
with lots of pretty things in it. Just then
however he saw he was mistaken—for as he
walked woos the floor he saw a big ugly
pig conneg etreight to meet him. He held
up his wee for war and the other pig did.
the same. '‘,That's an ugly customer,'" fiaid
he, "and I don't know if 1 could thrash
him." He made a jump torward but the
ugly pig did the same and they were within
an inch of each other, with glaring eyes and
bristles like a clothes brush standing out
ou their backs, The fat pig flapped hie
right ear andithe ugly pig did jut the same
with his left; our pig winked and the other
winked, and then they both walked away.
The funny part of it was when the fat
pig . got over to the other side of the

"This is too bad," said he, " theee people

with a chuckle, and a man turning into a

So the fat pig found a sheet of paper under

The Pig -Headed Ilan.
It was a solemn, sclemn map,
Who sat him in his :study
He was not fair to look upon
He won't even ruddy;
His clothes were very neat and clean
His boots were never muddy.
His word dispelled all things in doubt
His look is irowned down chatter
To any one who dared dissent
He proved that didn't matter:
.And every time the baby cried
Got madder than a hatter.
He was so right he couldten live
For man to wrong is wedded
And ache changed outright at last
Into a thing he dreaded:
Altho' his booy kept its shape
His head it got pig-headed.
" I don't think that is fair to us," said
the fat pig; and he made a rush at the
Ithing and topped it and a lot of other
things over on the floor, and then made
his way out into a snug little room
with a comfortable looking sofa in it.
"That," said he "looks softer than
my bed, and after the the fatigues of morn-
ing I think I will take a rest." So he laid
himself snugly out and drew a, tidy over hie
back and put his nose in the cushion and
was half asleep in two minutes.
Just then he heard footstepsund several
"Oh my's," and a couple of " near me's,"
and "I'm so tired," and a fat old lady came
waddling in. "Some one has been through
this house," said the Fat Person. "I find the
manoh holder all broken, the mirror quite
dirty, the vinegar and mustard epilled on the
dining room floor; and bless me if there is
not mud every where on the carpet." So
she proceeded to take off her things and sat
down on the Isola, unloosing her bonnet al d
ticking her shawl pin about two inches into
he Fat Pig.

Blacking Boots.
"Did it ever occur to you, said a chem-
ist, "what a remarkable and unique pro-
cess the blacking of a boot is? You see, we
smear the boot with a preparation of bone-
black which is entirely devoid of luster;
and then, by the friction of a, dry brush,
make it shine like the /Inn. The key to
the mystery lies in the fa,ot that diamond is
nothing but crystallized carbon. The black-
ing is little lees than carbon paste, and
the friction of a hair -brush, being one of the
roost efficient methods of generating elec-
tricity, has the effect of crystallizing the
carbon of the blacking. As soon as this is
done, the boot is covered with millions of
infinitely small diamonds, and, of course.

would. The bootblacks are engaged all day
in turning blacking into diamonds.
They got so near to the gbjeoe of their ex-
pedition, however, that they were enabled,

magnitude of the cataract.
This estimate agrees with the description

ate is endorsed by a half breed named

cisco (Aranzele, but there are few who care
to make up for it as a well-known judge in
an interior county did. The other day a
man was brought before him charged with
obtaining goods to the amount of 2.15 on
false pretenses. The distriot attorney
finding that conviction was impossible in
spite of the evident truth of the charge
lotted the judge to dismiss the man with a
reprimand. The judge in a voice that
could be heard it block away said :
" You are discharged through a techni-
cality in the law, but you are the worst
confidence operator and swindler that ever
disturbed the serenity of our peaceful town.
Now you get right out of town, and the
sooner you shake the dust of your tovneoff

The voice was so loud and the judge's
manner so threateningthat the prisoner
turned and asked the judge for proteolon,
as he feared the remarks of the csurt might
incite the populace violence against him.
"Protection 1" and he got off the bench,
seized theprisoner by the back of the neck,
and kicked him out of the court-romn,

Suitable Travelling Costumes.
"01 course, I always like to be considered
well dressed, but I am far more particular
what I wear when I am on a one day's out-
ing than when I travel for n more extended
period," recently observed a well-known
society lady to a "Mail and Express" re-
porter. "There is nothing in the way of
eostumeti that o clearly marks the welhbred
lady as her attire on such an occasion. Only
plain, sober colors are suitable for meouroions,
and they should be made with no trimmings.

Bread for Horses.
Horse bread is commonly made in Sweden,
says Notea and Queries. 11 is also often made
and used in Tyrol and in certlin parts of
Switzerland— Engadine for instance. Your
driver stops at a roadside inn, and before he
buys anything for himself buys for leis horde

:lire yulecake. The strong, quiet
steady horse—or mare very likely—knows
well what this means ; looks on with eager
eyes as the driver slices the cake; munolies
aim after slice with keen enjoyment ; and
finally, perhaps, lays his lips upon his palm,
to etiggest the possibility of another loaf.
Some drivers, indeed, themselves desirous of
it meal, are content to crumble the bread
into a trough; and in that case the horse will
not only eat all the larger piece, but will
with teeth and tongue take up every morel
and 'crumb that arms tho bottom of the
trough. Suoh are his views as to the merita
of oaten bread.

The falls are on the Grand or Petchikapou
River which flows into Hamilton Inlet.
They are thirty miles above Lake Wamini-
kapou, a body of water which is itself forty
miles long, and situated 150 miles inland
from the mouth of the river. Prof Hind
gives this lake as only 100 miles from the
mouth of the river, so that the expedition of
Messrs. Helms and Daff has brought to
light the fact that the best works hereto-
fore published upon this terra incognita,
contrun anything but reliable data. They
agree, however, with Professor Hinu that
the elevation of the immense tableland
which forms the interior of Labrador is
about 2240 feet. On this height of land are
a succession of great lakes joined by broad,
placid streams, and when these reach the
edge of the tableland they commence their
wild career to the tea, The Moisie and the
Coldwater Rivers deseend by successive falls
but towards the soutbeast the descent from
the elevated tableland is quite sudden. This
is particularly true ot the Grand River,
which has a ctrop of over 2000 feet in the
thirtymiles eommenoing with the falls and
ending at Lake Wammikapou. There is a
slight rapid below the falls, but none near
the lake, and everything goes to show- that
the height of the grand falls is very little if
anything short of 2000feet.
They are ny a great deal the highest falls
in existence that are composed of any great
volume of water. There are mere moun-
tain torrents that fall from a greater height,

One dayWanhaotldhewMominadnedcaHrryerion:
a heavy
basket entered the station at T. Approach-
ing the clerk, she addressed him thus—
Fan will I get a train to Aberdeen ?"
"Didn't I tell you already, in about an
hour ?" replied the clerk very sharply, at
the same time slamming the window of the
tioket-box in the face of the old woman.
Nothing daunted, after a few minutes she,
for the third time, approached the ticket -
box. When the window.- was drawn up,
she repeated her question, making sure at
the same time than the clerk would not treat
her as on the last occasion, by inserting her
basket in the aperture.
The clerk, now irritated by her persist-
ence, answered in a more dignified manner
than ever; upon which the old woman, eye-
ing hints steadily, said, 4' Div' ye ken fa ye
mus' me o' ?"
"No," said the oferk,clrawing himself up
to his full height and pulling his mustache
vigorowny, expecting no doubt to hear that
he bore a striking resemblance to thePrinee
of Wales, or some other great man. ,
" Weel," said the old lady, "ye jist pit

Irving as Macbeth wears no beard, but
only a slight, very red mustache. Miss Terry
has long plaits- a equally red hair, falling for-
ward over the shoulders and reaching almost ,
to the ground. The curtain rises on the dark

the supernatural note of the play is at onoe
struck by the sudden apparition of the three
witches in a blood -red °mud at the back of
the stage. From theitoe on Irving produces.

Irving divides the last two acts of the play

Pr -fessor Wiggins says that if the tailless
comet Encke "should become another satel-

sand that it will, though le erosses our planete
about as frequently as that of Mars—the
waters of our means would rise to and
remain permanently at the height of twenty
feet." This comet Enokei however, seems to
have an affinity for Mars and the professor
writea on this point: " Mars,
sure the people
of Mars have only one genuine object of
dread, the comet we call Backe." We have
had no advices lately from our Mara subscrib-
ers, and no complaints of any irregularity io
the 'delivery of their papers, so thee Enoke fa

Sir Morell Mackenzie has been lecturing in
Edinburgh on vocal development. lie held
that singing was a development subsequent
to the use of articulate speech, without
which, indeed, singing would be impossible.
He thought it more desirable that singers.
*should learia to speak than that speakers •
should learn to sing. Years of training for
singers were recommended. Sir Morell
thought that the singer who wished to keep
himself in .good voice should rise early, be-
fore eight m the morning, and should har-
den hie constitution by a vigorous outdoor
life. 11may be observed that this eminent
medical Authority did not enjoin praotice
before eight in the morning, for he probably
knew that the singer's neighbors would have
something to say on tharpoint.

to wait so loug for the arrival of the "body"
that he at length complained 10 the man-
ager of the Northern railway, who informed
him that, the coffin had been detained ali
