It Is nec ensary for tbe rancher to get his mark id tbe p!g- As this, owing to tbe ror.rbncss cf tbe country and tbe wlld-ih-sr of tbe sows. Is no small tnsk. It Is jrt neiT.'.iv- tle custom for all tbe bog owners in a given section to turn out to.-ibc-r with their dogs and prac tically "round tip" tbe range. ;niarcd with one of these "bog L;:nts" a cattle "round up" is a quiet and commonplace affair. On the morn rig appointed tbe dogs are turned loose and started out on a bog trail, and the r.ieu ride after them Just as on a wolf chase. As the pigs cannot hold out very long one of them is soon caught, md bis squesln bring Iack tbe rest cf the bunch to bis aid."As soon as tbe p!g is free tbe sows form a circle r. round the pigs, from which they now cu-.l then dash out at their tormentors r.ml all tbe v.bile grunting like tbe rat tling of a hundred old wagons. Hy tbe time the uproar has reached its full beight the hunters ride up and hiss tbe dogs on to M-ize tbe sows. When one Is caught, two men go to tbe assistance f the dug. one with a club to U-at off tbe other bogs, tbe other with a bit of rope to tie the one seized. When all f them have thus been put out of the r.ay of fighting, the pigs are aught and marked. Then the sow are given their lllterty. and the dogs Ftart out on a uew trail. When It hap pens that tbere are bogs belonging to several different men. tbe pigs are sim ply divided. While the work of "marking" Is more liLe spi rt than labor It Is not le9 ex citing than that of getting the bogs ready for market, for as it is laipossl Me to drive th.m any distance even to the corrals at the ranches it Is neces sary simply to butcher tbem out In the bin. So along !a the early part of the vintrr. after tbe new mast has fallen and tbe bogs are as fat as tbey will jret, tbe ranchers load their wagons with salt. grub, kettles and lard cans, take their dogs and Winchesters and strike out fur the bills. - They make camp near some spring or water bole and then begin the work of "killing." which Includes The rendering of tbe bird and salting of the meat. It is like a great bunt. Whenever a wagon lucd of lard and meat has Ix-eu put up it is taken to the nearest ranch and left there until the "killing" season Is over; then It Is loaded again and freighted to the nearest railroad point, v here ft is sold at the market price.

It Is variously known as a celba or a silk cotton tree, but the people of the low Islands of the West Indies call It the hurrlcati tree; for no matter bow hard the wind blows It cannot disturb the mighty, buttressed trunk of the ce'.ba.

No cloths are needed, no cooking, uo stirring aud spreading on cloth just a soak'.ug In hot water. And the nicest part Is the total absence of the mess inevitable In making flaxseed meal poultices, al though there Is. too. a great economy of time and trouble. It Is sometimes ad vlsnhle to put a piece of oiled musliu over the sheet to help retain the heat and moisture. When the poultice begins to get cold, take it off, wring out the water and soak it ngain in hot water, and so on indefinitely. The surgeon has used the -:ii!!e sheet of pulp wood for two days" poulticing, in the hands of an Ignorant man at that, his instruct iom to hi :ii lielng "to soak the plaster iu hot water whenever It got cold anil put It on ngain." By the way. every physl clan who has had the annoyance and trouble of being compelled to leave the all important matter of poulticing to an Ignorant person will appreciate a way that will allow no loophole for mistakes and failures. Philadelphia IleconL Cnrlonn Ulatorleal Doenmeat. The charter ia which the church was first granted tithes in England is a curious historical documenL A literal translation follows: "I.

Earls mid all iersons of distinction lu my dominions, have, for the health of my soul, the good of my people, and the prosperity of my kiugdom. taen the honourable resolution of granting the tenth part of the lauds throughout my whole kingdom to the Church and Ministers of religion, to lie enjoyed by them, with ail the privilege of a free tenure, and discharged from all the in ciimbraiicc incident to lay-f;i'S.

Dated at Wilton. Ann. bum. 84. at the Feast of Easier." Geolojtlral Time. An Ingenious theory for the estima tion of llie time of the various geo logical periods has Ihh-u proouiidMl by an engineer whose work on western railroads takes him Into primitive country. He says that in oue great de pression In Wyoming the trees have liccu recording the rate of erosion cf the slopes for a lion t 300 years so accu rately that l!:e data to lie obtained by I direful study of them will lie a fae fjr of extreme l:uiortance In enabling scientists to convert geological time into years. While he has not yet had time to collect those data properly, be makes the rough .deductioa that. Rtv cording to their records the pliocene and pleistocene periods would repre rent about l.r.iKi.iKKi years, aud that, on this basis, the cenizoic time would be alsiut -l.iMiO.otHI year.. This would nuan that all gi-ological time from the beginuing of the Cambrian ejHxli would be Ol.O-'IO.OOO years. Ilia Owo. Ostend (reading a liook of oems Pa. when v.-as tlie romantic age?
