Brushniakers.

An uptown grocer was hanging a
bunch of corn scrubbing brushes on a
hook as a young man was passing.
Cleanliness is next to godliness. -
the young man said.
''Yes. Your piety is rather lone
some, isn't it?'
The young man was interested.
elbow much do the brushes sell for?''
he asked.
"Ten cents.''
"How much do they costP''
"Who?"
"You."
"Eighty-fve cents dozen"
How much do they cost the
maker?"
las near six cents as you can figure
it. The wooden back costs one cent;
the work of securing the wisps to the
back, one cent; the corn two cents; the
wire, the finishing, and so on amount to
one cent and eleven-twelfths. -
chow fast does the brushmakef &C
cumulate wealth at one cent brush for
wiring the wisps to the backs?"
Not very rapidly. The lightning
man, sober and steady, can make
twelve dozen brushes in a day of ten
hours. He is the exceptionally fast
man. He ties ten thousand knots to do
it. Ordinary men make from eight to
ten dozen. Live on thatp Well, the
wife can make four dozen, and the chill
dren can help. 1t is indoor work, and
not what is called hard work. They
work at home. Plenty of people in
New York are worse off than the brush
makers. IN Y. Sun.

Robbing aa Express Company.

ST. LOUIS, March 3.-Prentiss Til
Ter, money clerk of the Pacific Ex-
press Company here, disappeared at
about three o'clock yesterday after
noon, taking with him one or two
valises full of money packages, the
total amount being nearly $4,000.
1t is the custom of the company to
keep the money clerk and day
Waterman on duty in the office on
Sundays, the doors being secured by
chain locks ard no one being adj
mitted except messengers, who arrive
on morning trains and haye money
packages to deliver. Yesterday af-
ternoon Tiller was on duty and the
watchman remained in the back
room attending to the door, the front
door being locked. About two
O'Clock the watchman went out to
lunch, leaving three messengers sit
ting by the stove. While he was
gone Tiller went out and returned
with a stranger, who, the messengers
thought was new clerk or messen-
ger. Tiller and the stranger went
into the front office, and were
thought no more of. An hour later
Tiller came into the back office and
remarked to the watchman, who had
returned, that he believed he would
go out and get some luncheon. He
then re-entered the front office and
was not seen again. Half an hour
afterward the watchman went into
the front ofiice to get something and
was surprised to find the front door
unlocked and Tiller absent. He
spoke of it to the messengers, who
were sitting by the stove, in the
rear, and they told him of the stran-
ger. This alarmed the watchman
and he summoned the superintend-
ent, who soon discovered that about
a bushel Of money packages were
missing.
Tiller, who is believed to have had
either one or two accomplices, is
about twenty-five years old, and was
formerly with the American Ex-
press Company at Louisville, KY.
No clew has been obtained as to his
whereabouts. The company has of
fered a reward of 81, 900 for the ar
rest of the man with the moEey.

Cattle Disease.

ERIE, March 9.-A terrible cattle
disease has broke out in the eastern
part of this country. The disease
which has confined itself so far, to
our neighborhood, has the form Of
carbuncular anthracite blood disease
end was superinduced by too much
food. While the general condition
of the animals remained good, they
were affected with a distressing
swelling and bloating.
At the Joints there were large gath
erings, which were very sensitive.
The result so far has been fatal, as
the hoofs came off, taking them at
the first Joints, and therefore the
animals had to be killed. Upon
advice of the best authorities the
disease has been met with a mode
of treatment which it is believed
will be successful. The treatment
consists OF purgative of sulphate Of
soda and molassss, after the purga-
tive the dose is repeated daily in
small quantities. The swollen
parts are also bathed with hot water
several times daily to encourage
circulation, after which the parts
are bathed with equal parts of tine
ture of rodine and soap liniment.
A solution of water seventy five
parts, glycerine twenty five parts,
and carbolic acid two parts,
is applied to the feet. The stable
floors are disinfected with solution
of a pound of vitriel to twelve gal
Ions of water.

Miminutive Desperadoes.

OIL CITY, March "a band of
would-be cowboys, whose members
do not average 10 years of age, has
been broken up in Franklin by the
spanking process, literally admins
by tered parental hands. The bows
had fixed their plans in a manner that
would have done credit to the worst
desperate of the west. They held
their meetings, matured their plans,
and few days ago had everything
in readiness for their departure.
Their captain, familliarly called
"Deadwood Jim," gave the final
command. In order to have no
cause to return he said each mem
Der of the band must poison his
mother. He promised to produce
the poison and have it on hand
the next day, when it would be di-
vided.
All the boys were to poison their
mothers in the evening, and morn
ing was to find them far away. No
doubt they would have carried out
their diabolieal plot but for one
small, seven-year-old youngster, who
was afraid his mother would suffer
too much. The captain. TO satisfy
him, agreed to apply the poison on
the servant girl first, and, if she died
easily, then the mother must follow.
The servant girl happened to over
hear the agreement and informed
the boys parents. The result was
that each particular member of the
gang was interviewed with a strap
in the wood -shed.
