Having had experience in several tires, the writer of the following ar- tide bus learued many things that v uid be well for every oue to remetu- her when a house is on fire. Be sure no child or |>et animal is shut in any room. Save, first of al|, the money and valuable papers unless they are in a fireproof safe. Next in importance is the wearing apparel. The easiest Way to save it is to tie up bundles of clothes in the quilts from the beds. Empty the closets und bureau draw ers in this way. It is quickly done, und the bundles are convenient to car ry. In each bundle some breakable object, such us a clock, mirror or pic ture, may be placed and will usually escape unbroken. Empty satchels and bags are handy to gather up the silver in, and if the keys happen to be with them so much the better. If you have valuable brfc-a-brac, take a clothes hamper or basket into the parlor and pack the delicate things between the cushions that are always plentiful alsiut the house. Choice bits of cut glass or china may la? hastily packed in a basket between tablecloths and napkins. Pillows, mattresses and rugs can be thrown from the upper windows and carried away by those below, thus saving time. Books are difficult to save on account of their weight unless you are so fortunate as to have sectional bookcases, when two careful people can carry them out un ha rmed. One of the strangest problems ever submitted to the decision of the law waa that growing out of the disposi tion of the property of an Englishman, the father of twin sons. It appears that thia eccentric owned extensive tract* of land in Australia, the great part of which he stipulated in his will aiuiuid go to tbe first of the two sous to attain the age of twenty-one years. The yosuger of the sons had emi grated to Australia, while bis brother remained tn Englund, it so happening that they were in opiaislte quurters of the globe when they came of age. 'The flue point Involved in the case was this: Austral lull time is some hours in advance of Greenwich, and therefore the claim was made that tile young mau in Australia reached his majority before bis brother ut home had done likewise. Which of the two brothers was legally entitled to the property? The question Is yet unsettled und tdds fair to afford employment for the ex ercise of lawyers’ wits for many years To come.

There are hogs, big, little. red. black, white ifiul mixed, a large held to select from, says Professor R. C. Hofuiuu of tbe lowu Agricultural college, but to the thinking furmer it Is ofteu a ques tion as to which breed is the best. First one kind fit tried, then another, then perhaps an oux-ross, with tbe re sult that correct impressions regarding the final results are impossible. Tbe only correct way is to try the different breeds and crosses under like condi tions and for two or three years in su< cession. This is absolutely the only wuy to determine the best hog. My own experience of seven years with hogs bus led me to breed the Berkshire hog as tbe most profitable of all breeds. Six years ago it was my pleasure as well as profit to have in charge tlie six different breisls of hogs at the lowu Agricultural college. Here the hogs were given the same care and feed. In my observations of the dif ferent breeds 1 found that the Berk shire hog was always ready for the fee<!, good at taking care of himself with cattle and made the most of the pastures. They always looked the sleekest, and the scales showed that they were doing the best. From the college 1 went to Illinois and took charge of one of the largest I Bowl? . . . .
