It Is oommoniy supposed to ha a scaven­ ger, like the puddle dpek. It takes rand baths. So do men. There Is much virtue In mad. The hog bathes In pools of it to coat his skin against the attacks of insects; man dips his festered hide in to improve his cir­ culation and draw oat his goat and rheumatism. I have seen men, known men today, with skins thicker than the hide of the rhinoceros. The hog Is omnivorous--so is man. The hog is carnivorous by choice--so is man. The hog is herbivorous, granivorous, gramnlvorous and phytivorou* by edu­ cation--so is man. These reflections are induced by the indignities offered a useful The hog was the cleanest of beasts un­ til man built a sty and imprisoned him In filth, fattened him on filth, killed him in filth, and ate him In filth. No animal, wild or domestic, Is so clean about his bed as the hog. It wants pare, sweet, fresh straw every time. The hog has brains. It haq been known to excel the pointer in scent­ ing quail. An authentic instance is mentioned by Blngley in Memoirs of British Quadrupeds of a keen-scented sow that would stand at blrda which the dogs had missel. Who ever heard of an educated ox or sheep! Yet we have had on our stage educated hogs that could spell and play cards, count and tell the time. The hog caused the biggest mutiny ever known in the history of the world, and was responsible for aea bf ing blown from the muzzles of can­ non. When Great Britain shipped cartridges to India for the native troops she reckoned without her heat, for the ammunition was greased with lard, which so offended the religious scruples of the sepoys that they aroae as one man in rebellion. The Ameri­ can hog nearly caused war between Germany and the United States, and only the diplomacy of Whltelaw Held obtained for the animal admission into France. Moses and Mohammed were opposed to the hog because, whjle it divides the hoof and is cloven-footed, yet it chews not the cud. The camel is not eaten for opposite reasons--it chews the eud but is not cloven-footed. The hare is also unclean, because while it chews the cud it divides not the hoof. All civilized nations have passed and re­ passed laws governing what a man shall eat and how much It shall cost him, but the only sumptuary measure that ever stood the test of time is the law of Moses concerning the hog. It has been on the statute book for 3,- 880 years. ' . • T. Gcodwyn. Bs-Congressman A. T.

Catarrh in its various forms is rapid ly becoming* a national curse. An un­ doubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during- the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues and are making" pub­ lic utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is catarrh. Public men of all parties recognize in Peruna a national catarrh remedy of unequaled merit.

PROTECTED INSURANCE POTENTATES CARRY IMMENSE SUMS IN POLICIES ON THEIR LIVES. The late Duke of Edinburgh's life was insured for £300,000 and that huge sum willliave to come put of the coffers of. the insurance societies. Scarcely a single English insurance company was without some interest in Prince Alfred's life, but the critical State of his* royal highness' health dur­ ing the past four years had given the companies ample warning that the day of reckoning was approaching. They will not in consequence be heavily hit by the duke's sudden death, even though the sum is of considerable magnitude, for most of the firms had secured themselves with guarantee societies. Royalties bare ever been extensive insurers. Many of them while they enjoy practically unlimited incomes during their lives, are unable to be­ queath anything except to their -eldest sonB. Insurance gives them the op­ portunity of making some provision fef their younger sons and daughters. King Humbert of Italy was do ex­ ception to the rule among the royal houses, and his tragic death will make a heavy call upon some of the insur­ ance societies, who will pay ouf con­ siderable sums to Queen Margherita. London underwriters are appreciably affected by his death. Queen Victoria has been a small gold mine to insurance companies, owing to her majesty's long life. Not only did the queen insure her own life, but hundreds of leases in the city ex­ pire with the queen, and the holders, in consequence, have all Insured her majesty's life. The Prince of Wales is similarty insured for large sums, but there are not many policies on Kaiser Wilhelm. Tha FramlMBt •aatoNi Why flo all writers and talke beauty conspire to neglect the most prominent feature? We hear a great deal about eyes, complexion, lips, hair, expression, even ears, but very rarely anything at all about noses. The hero­ ine may have the most glorious orbs in the world, but who would look at her if she hadn't a nose? Whereas, if she had a good nose, what an amount of sympathy she would command if she had the misfortune to be blind as well. The fact is that a person without a nose is simply disgusting. When Gas- pard de Tavannes said to Queen Cath ertne de Medicls that at a word from her he would eat off Diane de Poitiers' nose, he knew what he was about The favorite's reign would not outlive this reduction of her charms. Therefore.let there be no more injustice to noses. Their prominence should h» nlsed. Doatn't Work Both Wan. t. In Norway a girl must have a certif­ icate that she can cook before she can be married.

What is more remarkable, he succeeds in keeping within this limit--and both he and Mrs. Talcott profess to be more than satisfied with tfck amount of food they allow themselves. These figures are six times as impressive as the Chi­ cago University economists, who have recently provoked wide discussion by declaring that a man and his wife can subsist at a cost of $300 a year. The $l-a-week expense limit is more startling in view of the age of the re­ markable experimentalists.

The following account of the origin of the, familiar expression, "Gone up Salt river," was gleaned from this fertile field during a recent visit, writes Eunice Morgan of Mehlville, Mo., to the St. Louis Star. Many years ago, before the war, in fact, a politician and office-seeker liv­ ing in Pike county, through which Salt liver finds its way to the Mississippi, was a candidate for the legislature. Being defeated at the election, he moved into Rails, the next county up the river, where he again tried his for­ tune at the polls; was again defeated and again moved up the river. In Monroe county he was a third time defeated, but still undaunted, he canvassed Shelby county in his next attempt, with as little success as he had achieved lower down the stream. From Shelby county he moved to Ma- eon, with the same result When any one made inquiries as to bis where­ abouts, he was said to have "gap* «p Salt river. " and active.
