Urandfather Llckililnai Conveys Soma Facts About tho Urntm "I would Ilka," said Grandfather Lick-shingle, as he entered the World office and looked around cautiously, "to lay before your agricultural editor some facts of interest regarding the razorbacked hog, I usr-d to farm down ia Vlr Elnltt, arid also in North Carolina, and ave been more or loss IntlWotoly awtf-elated with razbr-baokod hogs: The razor-bank is so-called bocause it is razor-backed. You cun't mako any thing else out of him. It would have boon a misnomer to have called tilth inly thtrig else, ejtcejlty podsi.Wyi sort rff dguii; ruzOr-backs have peculiarities peculiar to themselves. You can't fatten one of them any more than you can fatten a At the same time they Will eat any thing ihat Joes! nfid Eqlioai for more. Wbeh squealing tor something to sustain life a razorbacked hog can be heard across three counties.

They regard their own offsprings as a great delicacy, although I don't see why they should, and they will also go further to eat a colored buby thaA a brocodile; You ban't kill a razoK backed hog by liny ordinary means. Unless be is run Over by an express tfalii he will live lo be a couple ot hundred years old, "The statetnn nudS ly the Commissioner of Agriculture at a recent Cabinet meeting, that a North Carolina man had Invented a fence that would turn a razor-backed hog was premature. There is no fence that will, turn animal he wants lo go through It, and he generally does. Barbed wire is a positive delight to him. His skin is so tough that it simply affords him a pleasant ticklish sensation, and be will go a great distance to find one of these fences to amuse himself with.

"You can't drive a razor-backed hog any more than you can drive a hyena. The only way to get him from one spot to another is to hold out to him the bow of promise in the shay of an ear of corn. For an ear of corn he will swim the English channel. If you haven't an ear of corn handy an old tin can with an ear ot corn or a tomato pictured on the label will do just as welL The Intel lect of the razor-back Is not what yoS would call brilliant, and its hot difficult to cheat him this Way. His Intelligence is of such a low order that he Will eat the tin can for the sake of thl picture and enjoy it just as much as if it was tho real thing.

"There is no vital spot to a razorbacked hog that a bullet can find. I have shot at them in a fit of anger, hundreds of times, and the bullet slides from them like wator from a duck's back. "A drove ot a dozen of them once took the town of Clarksvllle, and ate and destroyed every thing in the place. As for the Clarks, they took to the woods, and were glad of the-chance. The razor-backs got to rooting on the railroad that runs through Clarksville for some grain along the track, and they rooted up the ties and rails for a quarter of a mile and wrecked an express train.

They tore down the City Hall and post-offlce to got at the picture of a fat woman, some sleok-looking acrobats and the wild children of Borneo that a circus had pasted up. The speed and endurance of a razor-back is something that will pretty soon be attracting the attention of turf men. I have seen them jump over a stake and ridered fence that was fourteen feet high standing They can walk on the top of a board fence, and can catch birds like a cat Three or four of them will tear up more ground in a given time than a plowing match. Turn them loose on the granite pavements of New York, and it you give them a night at it they will rip up Broadway from the Battery to Central Park, and do it worse H.W.

A MARTYR TO FAITH. It Was Only a Bog-, Mot He Was Much Better Than His Master. "I have never let any of my dogs retrieve birds since an experience I bad with a cruel sportsman over on the Delaware river one day last fall," said a Scranton bird-shooter the other day. "The man owned a splendid pointer that knew a good deal more about some things than his master did, and we were both shooting quails over him along the banks of the river. He was harsh with the dog, and the poor creature was often competed to do what he knew to be senseless things, just because he felt certain that he would be licked like the mischief if he didn't obey.

Each side of the river was frozen over out to the main channel, where there was a strip about a foot wide that wasn't covered with ice. One ot the quail that I shot started to fly across the river, and dropped dead on the thin ioe within a few inches of the open channel. My companion ordered the pointer to go and get it and the obedient dog dashed out upon the ice until it got within a couple of yards or so of the dead bird, when he halted, tor the ioe had begun to crack under him. Then he looked back at his master and wagged his tell, and his actions told us as plain as wor is that he know it would be dangerous for him to proceed any further. I begged the man to call the dog back and let the minks have the quail, but be wouldn't listen to me.

Again he ordered the dog to fetch the quail in, and again the dog made an to reach it but the ice cracked and he turned about whined piteously, and in every way that he knew how begged his master to call him back. But the heartless man was determined to make the dog do as he said, and he yelled savagely at the pointer to get the dead bird. Then the dog sprang forward and seized the quail. The ice gave way under him. the current was swift and out of sight tne poor tnmg went witn tne bird In bis mouth.

That was the last the cruel man ewer saw of bis obedient dog. He hunted down the river for a long distance, but It was useless, for the dog had perished under the ice while faithfully performing his duty. The man was sorry then, of course, and, indeed, tbe poor dog's death taught bim a lesson he never forgot" Cor. N. Y.

slders Needed Reforms. There are tew men in this country better qualified to discuss the jury system thari judge Koah DaVlSi His experience on the bench arid at the bar BUS been wider' than" that of most jurists, and be-sidoi lie hSs Hiaid i closl Study of otlr system and its needs. conclusion that this eminent law yer comes to Is that our jury system needs a complete overhauling. In fact Judge Davis goes so far as to say that we should amend the Constitution and rccoftstrtMJt the whole system. "The jtiry systeiii fifi It now stands is entirely Unsatisfactory," said Jfldge Ds-vis.

''Nothing but a compl6te and radical overhauling will have the1 desired effect." "WSttt iS trie cause ot the present discredited condition of tbe jtiry system?" the judge was asked. "It arises from various causes," was the reply. "In tho first place it is now too easy for men to escape performing jury duty. There are too many loop holes for escape. Men of business who have a certain amount of Influence can escape performing jury duty upon a variety of pretexts.

Nowi as a. rule, those very men who are so anxious to escape performing what is their duty are Men who would make the very best sort of jurors. As they escape the service that they should perform, the judges in our courts are compelled to fall back upon an inferior sort ot men, and to accept the best sort of material at band for jurors. You can readily see that this in itself is sufficient to lower the status of our modern juries." "You would not then, extend the rule of exemption from jury duty as has been suggested?" "I nfost decidedly would not tin fact, I would take exactly the opposite course. I would make It more limited than it now Is.

I would make It so that no citizen could escape serving on juries ex cept for the most valid of reasons. would have laws passed that would be so drawn that every man should be com pelled to perform his duty or incur severe punishment Under such circum stances we should get the very best kind ot jurors, and should not have to take any sort of talesmen who might be found." "What do you think of the proposition to exempt foreigners to a large extent from jury duty?" "I think the proposition is a bad one, There is no reason at all why foreigners should be exempted if they can speak and understand English. All that is needed is that the juror shall be sufficiently intelligent to understand the ev idence given In any case. So far as the law is concerned he has nothing to do with that Tbe judge will instruct him on that No, I see no reason whatever for exempting foreign-born citizens who can Understand English." "What other reform would you suggest in the jury system?" "There is one very radical reform and change that I think should be made. It would require a constitutional amend ment to bring it about but to my mind it ought to be done.

I would have the number ot jurors in civil cases reduced from twelve to six. There is no reason whatever why six good men can not re turn as true a verdict as twelve, and then it would be much easier to select the smaller body. In criminal cases the same is true, but in these cases the number may be arranged by consent ot the parties interested. It would, as I say, be necessary to change tbe Constitution in order to bring about this reform in the jury system, but In my opinion it wonld be worthy of a triaL "This is a subject worthy of careful study," continued Judge Davis. "No one who has business in our courts now can fail to see tbe necessity for reforms, and radical reforms, too, in the whole system of obtaining jurymen.

There Is an absurd prejudice in some quarters against changing this institution, but this ought to be swept away. The sys tem, as it is, is wholly unsatisfactory. Under it the most competent to act as jurors seldom do so, and under It men wbo are in a sense incompetent are continually serving. This ought to all be changed, and if the public will but interest itself in tbe matter through its representatives, reforms would soon fol low. N.

MARRIED BY PROXY. A Wedding Celebrated Willie ill Bridegroom Was MaP Mlti). Away. Senor Ulplaho Obando was, until recently, Consul of the United States of Colombia at San Francisco. We, the Senor and myself, lived at the same hotel and, by mutual agreement we each instructed the biher in the language! enStoms and manners of our respective countries.

I grew to be quite fond of the Senor, he was so generous and simple and eager to learn our ways. His consular duties consisted mainly in drawing his salary, which he did every month with clodk-like regularity. The Senor was married I learned and the picture of his wife, which he always carried about him, was that of a charm-in senora of the regulation Spanish type of beauty. Bogota was the home of this loving pair, Mme. Obando being the niece of the President of the Republic.

One day the Senor said to me, in his broken English: "I must go home to my wife. I can no longer bear this separation. Besides, my father has been married to her about long enough." His father, I thought "What on earth do you mean?" I asked. "When were you married, Senor?" "About six months ago," he replied. I knew he had been in San Francisco a year, so I said: "Oh, I see, your ife did not like San Francisco, so she returned home." "She has never been here." "And yet you say you were married to her six months since?" "Certainly; I gave a power of attorney to my father, who married Inez in my stead." "Now, see here, Obando," I remarked.

"I am afraid you're making fun of me. This idea of your wife being your stepmother at the same time, and your father's wife being his daughter-in-law oh, no, it won't do." The Senor, however, was in earnest and then I learned one of the peculiar customs in vogue in the South American ropublic. As a matter of policy or convenience it had been necessary that Senor Obando should marry his affianced, and therefore the necessary instructions were wired to Panama, convoyed thence down the Magdalena river to the port, and by muleback to the capital. In the same manner the news of the ceremony was conveyed back to San Francisco, and Senor Obando was a duly married man. Marriages of this sort are by no means infrequent among Spaniah-Amerisan people.

The "proxies" are generally male relatives of either prospective bride or groom. An intimate friend, in fact may perform the office, though in the latter case it sometimes happens that the friend betrays his trust, and the fond, absent husband returns home to find himself divorced. These marriages are perfectly legal and are recognized by the Church. They are somewhat like "binding slips" in insurance, the "policies" being delivered afterward. Upon the return of the husband, though, he must be married publicly.

In case he dies before seeing his "proxy" wife, then his "vicarious" widow inhorits his property, the same as if she had been married in the regular fashion. i Senor Obando returned to Bogota, and the last time I heard from him he was occupying a high official position and living happily with his wife, to whom he had been "regularly" married.
