by the city- board of' health toward
stamping >out the recent scourge,
that through the neglect of the
health officers in tho surrounding
townships smallpox was repeatedly
brought into the city and that no
effort.was made on the part of the
rural health officers- to assist the'
local board in stamping out the disease. Therefore the colitfcil believes that' the burden of expense
should fall'Uipon all alike.

There is a difference, it seems, be-
:tweeji the American.Jbride and the
bride of other countries. The American woman adapts herself to
changed circumstances more readily
than any foreigner can do. As the
wife of the farmer or the capitalist,
she acquires rapidly the manners of
her station. Such is the view taken
by a writer on the subject of brides
in the "February Cosmopolitant
whose article is Illustrated with a
dozen fine photographs of lovely
woman in her wedding dress.
Hog raising hao been greatly stimulated in the past year or two by the high
prices -whioh have prevailed. Farmers
who raise-' good ■ hogs find that, year in
and year out it pays better than anything
else thoy produce, and that feed converted into swine flesh, ffs a" rule, is a
good' investment. The tide of priceB
rises and falls with the demand and the
price, of corn, but is governed by the de<-
tDiifld more than anything else. At the
present time the outlook for the hog
grower is better than for some time. The
supply in' the hog raising belt is hordly
up to the standard, the crop having been
severely deciminated by cholera in some
localities, Again the stocks of provisions on hand are the largest they have
been in years, aad the foreign outlet was
never better. All these' things should
operate to bring • about a good qcalo of
prices [or.soine time to come. There haB
been a decrease OE 1,-175,000 hogs packed
since Nov. 1, nnd this in itself is qnite
oafficient to insure a good demand later
on. Hogs are 30@40 cents higher than a
year ago, while cattle are $1 to $2 lower.
Beef is never a direot substitute for pork,
because, pound tor pound, it does not go
as far. S6me are of „tlio opinion that
hogB are too much oiit of line with other
'thing* and will have to come down. This
is true in a measure, but not 'until the
supply overtakes the detan»d,
