Having had experience in several
tires, the writer of the following ar-
tide bus learued many things that

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

THE BERKSHIRES.
I'onalJursd by Professor Hcfrnan th*
Moat Profitable of Ail Bread*.
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

cording to a report issued by the de
