I ' Tho two moat Important and moot Intimately associated products of Ini (liana aro corn and hogs. A French Btatlstlclan with n nowly sharpened pencil and sufflclont lolsuro once fig ured out that tho product of a slnglo bow with only sis young at a time will amount In ten generations to about 6,500,000. Of course, he left hog chol era and other diseases out of the cal culation. Tho Chinese claim to havo bred and domesticated the hog 4,000 yoars before the Christian era. Tho ancient Egyptians knew the hog, and, this animal Is depicted on their monu ments. Tho use of tho meat of tho' hog was prohibited by tho Jews, as It was considered that In hot countries It produced skin diseases, says Indi anapolis News. Tho Mosloms under Mohammedan law aro also prohibited from using pork. Tho hog was un-i known In America until Introduced from Europo by tho enrly navigators. In tho South American forests aro great droves of wild hogs, tho doscend-1 ants of hogs brought over by tho Spaniards. When it is taken Into ac-i count that tho ordinary femalo swlno ' will produce twice every year, and usually eight to twelvo at a birth, ono cannot help but wonder that tho mar ket prico should bo as great as It Is, A portable hammer for use In drill ing holes In concrete, brick or stono 1 or for removing scales, paint or rust from tubes or plates, has recently been devised which uses a magnetic clutch to obtain tho striking action. The ap-1 paratus consists of a hollow sleeve 1 about which Is tho magnet winding; ' the ends of the sleovo form tho poles of tho mugnot. A loose plunger oper-' ates within tho sleeve. The center of tho sleeves is largely cut away and ( the plunger normally occupies a posi tion spanning this center opening. By means of a motor the sleove is . reciprocated, thoroby throwing tho plunger back and forth by means of the magnetic coupling of the two. If tho news that comes from Manila be true, then a cure for leprosy has been discovered and another of tho dread terrors of humankind has been vanquished. It Is reported that 23 pa tients from a neighboring leper col ony have been subjected to final ex pert examination at Manila and (lis- charged as wholly free from tho dis ease. They had been treated by a new method in which chaulmoogra oil Is the essential factor. Dr. J. O. Lunn, , resident physician of St. Paul's hos-' pital, Manila, also reports the success ful use of an arsenical compound In tho treatment of sprue, an oriental complaint common in the Philippines. It is stated that tho value of muni tlons shipments from the United States now averages above a million dollars a day. Towns havo grown up like mushrooms under the Impetus of the new Industry and may perhaps as Quickly decline when the demand for Its products comes to an end. Eight months ago, says tho New York Eve ning Post, City Point, Va., was a corn field. Now it is a, place of 27,000 In habitants. Tho problems of housing and schooling are pressing ones under conditions of such rapid rlso and such uncertainty as to tho future. Tho effect of tho war on English university llfo has been almost over whelming. Oxford this year has an. undergraduate body of 600 instead of B.000. Finances are moBt difficult and1, a. number of professorships are to be' abandoned. A university correspond ent says Oxford is being slowly Btarved In men and money. The most Important matter for any! community to attend to Is tho cduca-, tlon of tho coming generation, physi cally, morally and mentally, for on this question the whole futuro of tho' community depends. And safe and' sanitary schoolhouses aro certainly not the least Important detail of the whole. Taking castor oil successfully is ai Blmple matter of mental attitude. Just) think that It Is not nauseating, that it is going down and will stay down,' open your mouth and swallow thej dose then smack your lips and smile.) It haB been judicially decided thatj 11 hole in tho ground has no com-' mbrclal value which tho law must rec ognize.
