The Useful Pig. Thrift is not generally supposed to be among the qualities of the negro. A writer in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, however, tells a story of a colored woman who should be an ex ample to her race. She was an ex tremely black African, and was being examined at a conference at Tuslce gee. "Do tho people in your com munity own homes?" came tho query from Mr. Booker Washington. "I thinks they's fixing to own 'em, sah." "But do they own them?' "A heap of times you can't just tell,, sah. But they's holding 'em down." "Do you own your home?" "Yes, sah, I do," proudly. "And I can toll you jest how I got it. I swapped a puppy-dog for it." "Tell us about it." "Well, it was tills way. When I started, I didn't have anything at all but Jest a llttlo yaller puppy-dog. "1 took tho dog over to my brother-in-law's. He had eight llttlo bits of pigs, oh, Jest so little; an' I swapped the puppy with him for one of tho pigs. "It was soch a llttlo pig that It didn't look like It would live, but I nursed It good, and I prayed- to the Lord to make that Utile pig come for'ard to do me good, and tho pig lived and grew, "The first year I turned hor out, and when sho came back in the fall she brought me seven llttlo pigs with hor. 1 "That was my start. I've never had to buy any meat since. This winter I'vo killed three hogs, and I've got another at home now ready to kill. "I've got forty acres of land now, all paid for, and a house, and it all come from that one little puppy." "Do you hear that," exclaimed Mr. Washington, "you men? Somo of youd better go back home and swap vour does for piss!" A CURIOUS CHIMNEY. One in Wales Two Miles High With a Brook Running Through It. Who ever heard of a chlmnoy two mljes high with a brook running through it? Yet such a chimney exists in connection with the copper works at Cwmavon, near Aboravon, in Glamorganshire, South Wales. This is how it came to be built: About sixty years ago the copper Bmoke from these works was the plague of the neighboring country side. It settled upon and destroyed the grass for twenty miles around, while the sulphur and arsenic in the fumes affected the hoofs of cattle, causing gangerlne. The owners of the works tried all sorts of devices to remedy the trouble, but In vain. Finally Robert Brenton, who was afterward a successful railway en gineer In India, solved the prob lem. The copper works are at tho foot of a steep hill. Mr. Brenton con structed a flue, or chimney, running continuously from the base to about a hundred feet above the summit, following the natural slope of the ground. The brick which lined It nnd of which It was largely con structed was burned close by. A small spring gushing out near the summit of the hill was turned Into the chimney and allowed to flow through almost Its entire length to' condense the smoke. Once a year it is swept out and about a ton of precipitated copper obtained. its top can bo seen for between forty nnd fifty miles. London Answers. Seedless Apple. One of the scientific wonders of the Klickitat fruit district. Washing ton, Is a seedless apple tree owned by Arthur C. Chapman, of Goldendalo. This tree, in Chapman's yard, has borne fruit for ten years. A striking peculiarity about the tree is that oo blossoms nppcar as on other trees. The apples are green, measuring two nnd one-half inches in clrcumfer cnrci. and at any time are not choice eating, but are at their best during the months of February and March. Tho only other trees of the kind known to exist are In a small "town In Missouri. Seattle Post-Intelllgenc-r. First Oil Well. In the year 1 859 E. L. Drake, of Tltusvlllc, Pa., drove the first oil well. Like other pionects, he was regarded as a dreamer or a fool, and people laughed at tho idea of tapping a sub terranean oil lake. It was only by pretending that he was in search of a bed of salt that he was able to get drillers to work for him. When the borer had reached a depth of about seventy feet, Drake found his antici pations realized, and he was the pos sessor of an oil, well which, with tho aid of a hand pump, yielded him twenty-five barrels a day.
