Sows are not kept for the purpase of Merely entire- feed. Their business is to farrow pegs and to nurse them to a point where they can be fed for market.

The illness of the Pope recalls to the London Globe a story which went the rounds at the time of the illness of Leo XIII. Every day at a certain hour a pigeon, :titer the manner of Noah's dove, used to come to the study of the pontiff, who, • no matter what the business in hand was, would go to the bird and feed it. On the day that the Pope was seiz- ed with his fatal illness the pigeon crane as usual, but found the window, closed. The bird flapped its wing againstthe pane and then struck the glass with its beak. - The Pope heard it and ordered the window to be opened and his came- rier to feed it. The bird would not eat, but perched itself on the dyitig pontiff's couth, and theer demonstrated its de- light at seeing its old friend and prptee- tor,—New York Tribune, Send for free smote to Dept. 11, 14, Ilational Drug & Chen:tidal Co..

VITUS DANCE Cured Throudh the Use of Dr, Williams! Pink Pills, Chorea, or as it is more generally known, St. Vitus dance, is a sease that usually attaelts the young children, though older perions may be afflicted with it. Its most common symptoins are a twitching of the muscles of the face and limbs. As the disease progresses this twitching take e the form of qualm% In which the jerking motion may be con- fined to the head, or all the limbs may be affected, - The patient is frequently unable to bold anything in the hands or to walk- steadily, and in severe cases even the speech Is affected. The disease Is due to debility of the Ilona; and is Al- ways eured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pais, whith enrich the blood, tone and strengthen the nerves and thus restore the sufferer to good health. The follow- ing is a striking Instance of wbat Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will do in this trou- ble. Mrs. Charles Phipps, Pelee Island, Ont., says: "At the age cif fourteen my eldest daughter,' Edith, beeame much run down, and the trouble developed in- to St. Vitus' dance. First ,her left arm became affected, then the left leg and entire left side. She grew so bed that she Actually could not holcl anything in her hand, and could ooly go about with a sliding, jerking motion. Notwithstand- ing that we were giving her medicine, she seemed to be growing worse, and finally -her speech became much affect- ed. We beetune so much alarmed about her that finally her father got a supply of Dr. Williams" Pink Pills, and we be- gan giving her these. In the course of a few weeks she was much better, and be- fore all the pins were gone she was agaia enjoying pried health. This was in 1908, and as she has not had a symp- tom of the trouble since I feel justified in saying the cure is permanent."

Wagner and Liszt Among those Who Felt the Sting of His Tongue, Although Rossini seIdoin went to the opera, he .could mu resist the tempts: Min of hearing one of Wagner's works, says a writer in Musical Opinion. It was "Taunhauser." Afterward, *hen asked to give his opinion of the opera, he said: "It is too important and too elabor- ate a work to be judged after a single hearing, but I Shall not give it a sec- ond," Somebody once handed him a score of one of Wagner's latest Musks dramas and presentely remarked that he was holding it upside down, "Well," said Rosslni, "I have already read it Lite other way and am trying this as 1 real- ty can make nothing of it." Rossini had scant patience with anew. teur composers. One such once =OM- pa.niect the manuscript of his latest com- position with a Stilton cheese, of which he knew Rossini to be fond. He hoped, of ,course, to have a letter praising his work. A, letter came; but all it said was, "Thanks! I like the cheese very InIgince Poniatowski, the composer of the popular "Yeoman's Wedding song," had written two operas and wanted very much to have Rossini's opinion as to which of the two he should ehoose for production in public. Rossini fought shy of the matter for a long time, but PoniatowskPs importunity at last pre- vailed. Highly elated he eccompanied Rossini home, Rossini settled himself in his easy chair with his feet on another and placed a huge bandana handkerchief over Ids eyes. Poniatowski sat down to the piano and worked away lustily for an hour. When almost exhausted and, bathed in perspiration, he was about to begin on the second opera, Rossini awoke front a doze into which he had fallen and touched Wm lightly on the shoulder so as to arrest his progress, "Now, my good friend, I can advise you," he said sleepily; "have the other opera performed." A kindred joke was tried on Liszt, who had just played one of his so -caned symphonic poems to Rossini. "I prefer the other," said Rossini, enigmatically. Liszt naturally asked, which "other." "Thechews in HatYdn's 'Creation,'" was the withering reply. On one occasion a gentleman called upon him to enlist his aid in procuring for him an engagement at the opera. He was a drummer, and had taken the pre- caution to bring his installment. Ros- sini said he would neer him play, and it was agreed that he should show off in the .overture "Semiramitle," Now, the very first bar of the overture contains a tremolo for the drum, and when this had been performed the player remark- ed, "Now I have a Nest of 78 bars; these, of course, I will skip." This was too good a thaw% to be lost. "Oh, no," said the composer, "by all means count the 78 bars; I particular - )y want to hear those." "RossinPs whimsicality extended even to his birthday. Ifaving been born on February 20, in leap year, he had, of hOurse, .a birthday only once in four years, and when he was 72 he facetiously invited his Mende to celebrate his eigh- teenth birthday.
