In any other Of all the detestable phrases that ever were invented the very worst to me mind is "Pig -killing Time." Winter time has its attractions, holiday time ie joyous, and Christ- mas time ie n delight i but with these is associated that horror of horrors, pig -killing time. To city ears the phrnse may have the force of novelty, Oh, ye who dwell on city streets in comfortable homes time than pig killing time this episode would have bad a olteoriug influence. By•and'byu we name to a bit of really good road, where we.had a delightful gallop,; which terminated at the top of a little hill where a woman wan banging out clothes, The way she switched them on the lino seemed to say, "l's a queer thing that some women inn have a ln;cl• time ridingover the couutry, where cold boiled ham and eaueagee while others havto stay at home and potted head are not unknown, and bond over the woebboartl." I pause a lnv�!tnt with uplifted fork, wanted to atop and say to her, "Alas. I dear madam, I am not the gay and careless creature that I seem. Outwardly I have nothing to bother me, but within I am haunted by a terrible fear that if I go lo the barn for apples to -night there will bo an awful enacted something lying prone and rigid not far away." Turning homeward, there leas no sign of humanity visible beyond these mot in farm waggon;, until a group of men at a barn door near 'the road attracted my attention. They seemed mach interested in their work. Were they about to build a cow eked or chicken house ? Near them was a barrel of steaming water and upou a rough table lay— never mind what ! I etrudc Fanny so sharp a cut with the whip that I felt compelled afterwards to apolo- gise to her. But elle forgave me. Because—because—in that awful barnyard just behind us they were kiilieg pigs. Bur, THIBTLETnaALTE. and think off what you escape by not living in in region that is alt soared and blotted with years upon years of terrible pig -killing times. There is something dreadful about a pig, Physiologists say that its deportment of the interior lis vary similar to our own, and certain cannibals are in the habit of catling those missionaries who have departed this life with more sudden- ness tern can be attributed to naval eatists, "long pig." here are, of Bourse, striking pole of difference. It is easier for a pig to bo prepared to die than it is tor a ,Dan, but that does not make the clay of his death any the less deplor- able to the present writer. It is useless to try to get a reprieve for the victim. Preparations are begun the night before by compelling him to go without his supper. lie feels insulted end resentful, and grumbles over his deprivation until bedtime. Next morning the ooudemned prise one,. gets up with an unusually Rood Appetite for breakfast. Ho little dreams that, in all future brealrfaste that include him in then' arrangement he will take a com- paratively passive part. The front of the *kitchen stove is occupied by a boiler of water. and the back by steaming kettlee. The cat and dog aro walking nhont with en air of pleased anticipation. Oh, if pigs would only die in peace, and not fill -the air with profitless squealing 1 It is suggested to me that I go for a ride on horseback. Fanny, tho mare, who is brought to the door, says to me as plainly as a horse can say, "Nice idea to go for a ride he way the rends aro 1" But there is nu understanding between Fanny and myself that she is to say' what she pleases and do as I please. Wo pink our way along by the fences, enjoying the bright warm weather. "It is December with the heart of May." But the woods are ae dreary as a deserted house, and there is nothing to rid my mind of n vision of butcher knives. Ali, here comes an old neighbor. I will stop and talk with him, and thus cleanse my memory of pig -killing time. • "Good morning, Isabel. Your folks mean to kill today.?" • 'Waal dobtwi Enonrs about Cats. Doge, Donkeys and Pegs. TEE CAT. A eat is a domestic animal what likes to be near a fire. When cats get vexed, they oast their banks like the hump of a camel, and their tette swell out like a foxep, and they scratch with the splinters in their feet. Cate are different to dons. A ° dog wage its tail when it is pleased, 'a cat wags it when it is angry, that is the reason they don't get 00. 'They hunt mice, birds, beetles and other game. They do not sleep at night like any other sensible animal, but prowl about on bade -yard walls, reeking horrid noises, and spitting and scratching one another. It was 'one of these animals what led pa to throw a whole 'chamber service noway one •still— clear— dark moonlight alight, There wasetillness all around after that. hats are very fond of grannies, aunties and such like. They 'cultivate whiskers, but not, moustached. A cat is the only ani• !mal what has nine livee THE Pio. The pig is a animal whati speaks 'with a grunt, and is fond of wallow - tug iu the mire. Pigs do not wear hair on their backs like other ani- mate, but bristles. Blade puddings end other things what we see on the stalls on a market day come from the pig: So does sausage, but not German sausage. When they talk about pigs in the Bible they call them - mine; Bible pigs' were fed on husks, but Bnglish pige are fed on porridge and other' refuse. A pig when it is dead ie galled bacon, and is then 'cured.Fried bacon is a common grticlo of food for break- fast, The fat what comes from fried bacon is good for children. TEE DONKEY. A donkey is a animal what has four lege. It has also longer Bare than tbia horse or any other animal. The tail of a donkey is generall ,all meat, Bair does not grow the eon. They are very stupid animals,,// that is the reason our sohoolmaetors call us little donkeys sometimes. A don. i key is very often like a woman— when it says it won't go, it won't, and they :are very bard done to. Some good, kind people are called donkeys, and that is how Jerusalem donkeys were made, but the greatest quantity come from sea -gide places, where they earn their own living like any other man. Donkeys feed' on commove, and other planes where there if no food, and Unto they are termed oommou' donkeys, A don• key what is not a donkey, es galled tt etas. THE cow. A cow is a animal what ban four legs, Cowo are m ids of different colors --blush, white, yellow and crashed strawberry color, Tho milk what wo get in a mormug comae from the cow.

And ono is a Berkshire black." "Not Berkshire blaok—just Berk. shire." "Well its black anyway. Oh, Mr. Blank, bow ie your wife today ?" "Welt, ebe ain't so well a9 com- mon ;Jibe's been - getting real .thin' since we gave up using pork. Ever since 1was sick a year ago the doe. tor forbid me using pork and tobacco; and 1 tell you it's tough." "It rnuet be;" 1 said, eympeth-, etioally, though I am not addicted to -pork and tobacco myself, "Yon know I think it's all fool- ishness. You take a bit of smoked ham, well smoked and well fried, and there's nothing nicer.-- Why,'a pig's a clean animal, He ain't like a 'chicken. A chicken will eat things that a pig won't touch." Fanny started off rather suddenly then, and I said goodbye, Tho subject of my thoughts was not changed, though its melancholy. was lifted by the antics performed a few miles further on by a pair of little pigs, which ;a father and son wore trying to drive through n gate. Such bright, nimble, knowing, ob- stinate little fellows at they wore I And such a chase as they gave their pursuers:!

A innn known as "Fat" tried to cut his throat, but a friend of Ford caught'his-nrm just as the knife had cut' tlirough his Dollar. Two or three years ago the Rus- sian Government established credit banks for the purpoee of assisting. the owners of large estates who hap - paned to be • pressed for-- money.
