“I can’t tell you, yon have asked tob
tnuch,”enid a bookstore man yesterday,
when 1 asked him what kind of books
and magazines were roost read. It was
in truth, » queer question to ask, but (
wanted a little idea about the matter,
and decided to wait and see for myself.
I took a corner, and pretended to kjT
studying a German edition of Puck,
while I took mental notes of the pur
chasers and purchases.
»*«
I had just gotten comfortably settled
when in came a student of the Univer
sity, be bought a base ball guide and a
Forum. Possibly you think the two
books do not go together, will they do,
and you will And that the muscular, ac
tive hoys over on the campus take just
as much interest in reading as do the
pale fellows who have Byrnnic features
and dyspepsia. The next purchaser
was a girl, about seventeen years old,
I suppose. She was more than pretty,
she was beautiful, with dark innocent
eyes that seemed but the sign of a sweet
and pure nature, she glanced timidly
around and asked for her book, in a
voice so low 1 could hardly hear it, I
was shocked, and changed my ideas in-
stautei, about (hose innocent eyes.
***
Why? Well the one word she pro
nounced so softly was "Helene?” the
title of one of Emile Zala’s wickedest,
most charming and most powerful
novels. Of course you know nothing
of Zala’s works save by hearsay; if you
do not, you have missed a sensation.
He has an unfortunate way of making
sin repulsive, and calling a - spade a
spade; Hint is something that society
has outgrown. Smollett and Sterne
were, and are, considered great novel
ist*, but they lived long ago and are for
given many things that are out of place
now Not that sin is leu rampant than
it was, oh no. but nowadays it must be
dressed up in soft and pretty phrases
and called an indiscretion.
.*•
It is queer what funny things we see
and hear in a literary way, how people
throw up their bauds in amazement
when Zola’s name is mentioned and go
into extaciee over Ouida; it is inconsist
ency of the most glaring sort. Bead
Zola and you grow tired of the awful,
blackening sin he depicts; you want to
go out into the world and talk to good
and pure people. Bead Ouida; that ter
ribly sickening fellow, whom you de
tested so in L’Assomoir, begins to look
a little better, though he has the same
characteristics, when you put the book
down it is probably with a sign and a
smile, and the thought that sin is not
such a bad thing after all. Which is
the book that iujures most?
*** ,
To return, my beauty took Helene
and went away with it, I suppose she
enjoyed it last night, when everyone in
the house, save herself,had gone to bed.
Then came a long atring of purchasers,
The Century. Scribners, the Cosmopol
itan, and a host of magazines were
bought, as were a few solider books,
but1 noticed the absence of inquiries
for the works of greet authors. Thack
eray, Dickens, Hawthorne, Soott and
others of the kind. They seemed to
have been forgotten and lost sight of.
James and Howels sold well, and some
Russian novels also passed over the

Pies* Teeth.
A pig’s age may be known by its teeth,
as well as the age of other animals. Its
mode of dentition is us follows: It is
born with four front teeth: one month
afterward it gets four more, one in each
side of the first pair in each jaw. At
8 months it has four more, which is all
the front temporary teeth it’ has. At 9
months the four ontside teeth drop out,
and are replaced by permanent incisors.

The following pertinent advice is given
in Farm Jouriial, authority for the fore
going:
Plant ont a big lot of early sweet corn
to'feed the pigs this summer. Look out
for the seed now. Where the most is
said and done for pigs there the pigs pay
the best. The more you think of your
pigs the more they will think of you.
Begin now to feed the brood sow, so she
will not be crazy when the little pigs are
born. Give her plenty of bran and suc
culent food. Let her have a ran ont of
doors.
Don’t make a practice of breeding
young and miniature sows if you want
strong and healthy pigs. Don’t feed
breeding sows corn, and so make them

that James and Howells were in thei

appear.; at 4 they begin to lift the lips; at
5 they ant seen ontside the lips; at 6 they
project from the month, and after that
they grow longer. After 2 years the
sow’s front teeth have a black ring aronnd
the base of them, and as the age increases
the color of the teeth deepens and they
become worn. As pigs, however, are
rarely kept over two years, this test
gauge is not often required. Of recent
years, since pigs have been bred so as to
mature more rapidly, the teeth may in
dicate, as with sheep and cattle, more
age than the animals really have. A well
bred pig may have all its permanent
front teeth at 18 months, and this more
rapid dentition has sometimes led to dis
putes as to the pig’s age.—Mark Lane

Hay for Horses.
Professor Henry is credited with say
ing thAt ten pounds of hay is sufficient
for a horse liberally fed on grain. As a
rale horses consume ranch more hay
than is best for them or profitable for the
owner. The practice of filling a hay chute
or deep manger with a large amount of
hay and allowing the animal to eat at

perience ascertain the real needs of the
animal, and keep him to that
A Gruesome Spectacle, Truly.
What a spectacle that must have been

and people to do homage to the enthron

hands. We, of this day, rather do hom
age as our fancy dictates, and it would
hardly tend to such a step. Beauty,
valor and fame receive oufl encomiums,
fame most deservedly so for being the
recognition of merit. For this reason

Westmoreland’s Calisay a Tonic is de

brood sow ran with sboats or other store
hogs, and at least pni each sow by her
self, in the place where she is to have
her litter, a week or ten days before she
is to farrow. It will pay yon well after
weaning to feed the little pigs three

more than they will eat np clean. Give
them a few oats to eat between meals.
See how much pork product can he

Hon to Grow Bis Corn Crop*.
An Indiana farmer, writing in The
Farmers’ Review, tells how he has
gained his prize crops. He says: .
The acre of corn with which I com
peted for a premium in 1839, and oti
which I had drilled 500 pounds of phos
phate, was planted three feet and two
feet alternately in width, with one stalk
every twelve inches in the row, and
yieldScr me 115 bushels. The same acre
was planted again last year with rows six
feet and three feet alternately, with
stalks twelve inches in row, and yielded
100 bushels of corn of a far superior qual
ity to the year before. - No fertilizer was
used tins time and the season was not
quite bo good as the year before.
I concluded, therefore, that I made a
mistake in planting my corn too close to
gether. Two one-foorth acre plats Were
selected in which I have not been able to
detect any difference in quality of soil,
one plat planted as above, six feet and
three feet, and the other all the rows
three feet in width. The grains were
dropped in each case twelve inches in the
row, cultivation the same. Resole: The
first named produced twenty-two bnsht
els good com. The second, with one-'
third mure corn planted, produced six
teen bushels good corn and eight bushels
light chaffy corn, equal in feeding value
to eighteen bnshels good corn.
I do not believe we can have any iron
clad rale to plant by. Some ground will
stand closer planting than other. I also
believe com can stand closer planting in
Michigan or Wisconsin than it can in
southern Indiana or Kentucky.
He Thought He Knew Everybody.
Talking about swagger, too much of
this commodity has lately brought to
grief a certain member of a well known
third rate London clnb. This gentle
man is one who, so far from admitting
that any member of the upper ten could
by any accident be unknown to him, is
always ready to boast of close and inti
mate friendship with every one happen
ing to have either rank or position. His
failing is notorious; and three humorists
determined to give him a lesson. Ac
cordingly, in the clnb billiard room, one
of their number, Mr. C , casually said
“Are yon going to Lady L——’s to
night?"
No,” replied the victim. “Her lady
ship will never forgive me; bnt thh fact
is, I am fagged out,' and good paople are
scarce.”
Quite right. Til make year apologies.’
said Mr. C——.
Aghast at this unlooked for propod
tion, bnt unable now to retreat from the
position he bad taken up, the only re
joinder of Mr. J was a feeble:
“Thanks: I wish you would.”
Half an hour later, jnst as the trio
were abont to leave the clnb, unhappy
Mr. J drew Mr. C aside, and
after some beating about the bush was
at last obliged to confess that he did not
know Lady L , and begged Mr. C
not to mention his name to her.
“All right,” said his triumphant tor
mentor, “I won’t; you may dependupOD
that, for I don’t happen to know her my
self.”—London Tit-Bits.
