PARIS PIG IN SECOND PLACE
Ncw England Annals of 1775 Shew
French Animal Can Only Be
Classed as a “Piker.”
A Paris dispatch related recently
that a pig fled from the Halles and
ran down the Rue de Rivoli, upsetting
two gendarmes. She then went to a
department store, was carried up one
escalator, down another and found
refuge in the dress-goods department
fn the basement, where she sank into
a calm slumber. This is well enough
in its way and for a European pig,
but it has too many signs of accident.
It may have amused the Parisians to
hear about this. Perhaps it may have
deepened their conviction that the
ville lumiere is the mother of novei-
ties. But if so, they sadly mistake.
The New Hampshire Gazette of Janu-
ary 6, 1775, contains the following ad-
vertisement: “A Pig Came to the
House of Mark Loud in Portsmouth
about a fortnight ago—the Owner may
have him again by applying to the
said Loud.” The conscientious Loud.
though feeling the greatest respect
and friendship for the pig that had
made him a fortnight’s visit, evidently
felt that he ought to go home. Noth-
ing is said about reward; that s left
to the delicacy of the pig’s owner and
it must have been an exceptionally in-
telligent pig, even for New England, to
have left this pleasant impression on
Mr. Loud. There is no evidence that
any dispatch was sent to the French
or English press about the incident,
flthough it is far more interesting
than that of the Paris pig that upset
the gendarmes.—J. H. S., in the Bos-
fon Transcript.
FEAST CHANGED IN MEANING
Jewish Passover Originally Agricul.
tural Festival—Now Refers ' Di-
rectly to Escape From Egypt.
The Jewish festival of Passover com:
memorates the release of the Hebrews
from Egyptian bondage. The festival
opens with a household ceremony,
called the Seder, at which a collation
is served and various religous rites
performed, including a recital of the
events of the Exodus, from a special
ritual service compiled for this occa-
sion.
Originally Passover was an agricul
tural feast. At a later period it be-
came dissociated in part from its prim-
itive nature and came to refer direct-
ly to the escape from Egypt, which in-
vested the festival with the new and
highly significant spiritual message of
liberty for all mankind.
In the synagogue the note of spring
is reflected in assigned scriptural
reading wherein the worshiper is re-
minded that the winter is over. This
is in harmony with the purpose of the
Passover, which is to recall to mind
the many miracles whieh were wrought
in behalf of the House of Jacob by the
never-slumbering guardian and keeper
of Israel. Israel is bidden, through
the annual message of Passover, to
work for the eventual triumph of hu-
manity over the tyranny of injustice
and iniquity.—Detroit News.
Sing Deeds of Light Tenders.
The hardships endured by ligt
keepers have inspired the pens of
some of our best writers. Robert
Louis Stevenson, in sketching the life
of his grandfather, Robert Stevenson.
a distinguished Scatch lighthouse en-
gineer, gives some entertaining pen
pictures of their lot.
The first lighthousekeeper in this
country, George Worthylake, at Bos
ton light, whose first year’s salary
was 50 pounds, was drowned with
his wife and daughter on November
3, 1718, and this incident was the in-
spiration for a ballad, the “Lighthouse
Tragedy,” written by Benjamin Frank-
lin, then a boy of thirteen. In his
autobiography he tells us that his
brother induced him to print and sell
copies of this ballad on the streets
of Boston, and that it “sold wonder-
fully,” the event being recent and
“having made a great noise.” No
copy of this ballad seems to have been
preserved, but the author admits it
was ‘“‘wretched stuff.”
Fig Blossoms Inside Its Own Fruit.
A peculiarity of the fig is that it
produces its fruit first and blossoms
inside the fruit, or so nearly so that
no flower is perceptible to an ordi-
nary observer.
Because of the peculiar structure of
the fig fruit the process of pollina-
tion cannot be accomplished either by
the wind or by ordinary insects. A
peculiar hymen-opterous insect is an
inhabitant of the wild figs in their
native countries and also visits the
cultivated varieties. It is to this in-
sect alone that the pollination of the
cultivated sorts is due. Smyrna fig
-culture would be an impossibility with-
out this insect.
Difficult to Comprehend.
Father was trying to explain “stand-
ard time” to little Harry, but Harry
was not sure that he understood.
“After all, it is no great matter,”
said father,
“You are now only in the fourth
grade. When you have gone to school
longer you will learn all about it.”
“Maybe so,” said Harry, with a re-
assuring smile. “The teacher says
that even lots of eighth-grade boys
and girls don’t understand longtitude
and gratitnde.”—Wayside Tales.
CONSERVATIONISTS
DECLARE PRINCIPLES.
The executive committee of the
State Conservation Council met at
State College, May 18th. Plans for
the organization of county conserva-
tion federations were adopted. This
work will be done by members of the
executive committee. A declaration
of principles covering twenty-two
points was adopted embodying what
the council stands for in regard to
hunting, fishing, stream pollution,
protection of song and insectiverous
birds, and the preservation of wild
flowers. :
The council believes in liberal ap-
propriations by the Legislature for
the purchase and protection of for-
ests from fire; for supplying forest
tree seedlings to private planters; for
developing fish hatcheries for supply-
ing our streams and for propagating
game birds and animals. It believes
that all fishermen over 16 years of
age should take out a license to fish
and that boys under 17 should not be
allowed to hunt except with a respon-
sible adult.
farmers should be protected, and that
the game laws should be codified into
one code. That license money paid by
hunters and fishermen should be used
in developing hunting and fishing or
for the purchase of forest land. That

buck deer should not be killed until
they have antlers with two or more
points to one antler. The council
takes a stand against the consoldia-
tion of the game, fish and. forestry
departments and the water supply
commission.
* These principles will be submitted
to all candidates for election for their
consideration. The council will meet
again, at Harrisburg, on October 5th.
