Bristles and Brushes.

Over 100000 capital is invested in
Boston in the manufacture of bristle
brushes. The raw material used in q
year will amount to about $500, 900,
and the value of the manufactured
product in the came time is not far
from $500,000. There are six regular
bristle brush manufactures in the city.
besides several "attic" factories. Proba-
kind in Boston is the one at No. 900
Commercial street, which employs
about sixty hands, and keeps some
5000 or $4,000 worth of unmanu-
featured stock on hand all the time.
One reason for keeping so much raw
material in stock is the fact that there
are no dealers in the article of bristles
in the city. New York is the great
center of the trade for this country. It
does all the importing, and the larger
part Of the work of preparing the
American product for market. The
best bristles are imported, and come
mainly from Russia and Germany, a
few fine ones coming from France.
The Russian and German bristles are
coarser, longer, heavier and straighter
than the American article. They will
range in length from three to six and
even seven inches, and are worth at
New York from so cents to 81 per
pound, the short and dark colored, or
gray, being the lowest in price, and the
long and white the highest.
American bristles come mostly from
the Western States, although they are
obtained from the large abattoirs in all
parts of the country. There are large
concerns in New York City that buy ur
the bristles from the slaughter houses,
paying some years to cents per hog
for the season, and in others as high as
8 to 10 cents. The present price is
from 5 to 6 cents per hog. These
bristles are boiled, washed, dried
Strengthened, laid one way. assorted
into different lengths and colors, and
tied up in bundles about four inches in
diameter for market. Only small
part of the raw material can be utilized
for bristles. These hairs come from
the back of the head and along the
spine. The "fur" which grows on the
sides of the animal is too short and
curly, and it Is sod to mattress facto-
ries TO be made into the nice "South
American horse hair" mattresses which
are adver tised to be sold cheap. This
"wool," as it is called, is worth only 4
to 8 cents per pound, after it is bag
gled. The bristles, which vary in
length from q to inches, are
done up IN bundles, the different
sizes varying from each other by n
quarter of an inch. The prices vary
from 20 cents to $3.50 per pound, sc-
cording to length and Wilderness. The
difference between two sizes OF the
same quality is about l5 or 20 CENTS

The differentiation of development
asserts itself even in devouring oranges.
In the region Of the Rio Amazonas it is
one way, and in the region of the Rio
Query it is another. Here the eater
begins by transfxing with fork the
vegetable globe in the neighborhood
of the south pole. Then with q sharp
case-knife (which is not q cheese-knife,
as might be inferred by the etymolo-
gist) he makes through the rind cir
cular cut which may be ikened to the
antartic circle. Next he slices off the
whole of the arctic zone. Then, cut
ting from north to south, he slices off
the rind in meridians from one polar
circle to the other. The rind thus
having been removed, and the lus-
cious sphere being still transfxcd and
held in his left hand before him, the
eater, with the knife in the right, slices
off the tropical regions and puts the
pieces in his mouth on the fiat side or
pierced with the point of. the cutting
instrument. In which operation sixth
of the substance of the fruit is wasted
in removing the rind, and another
sixth in G; sting away the core; but

Whites and Blacks in the South.

In his new book Judge Tourgee
shows, by a series of tabulated statis-
tics, drawn from the census by decades
down to 1890, that the colored race is
increasing at greater ratio than the
white race in the South; that it already
numbers one to every two of the white
population, taking all the States to-
gether; that in eight of these States 1t
averages "a per cent. less than one to
one; that in three of the States it aver
ages 81 per cent. more than one TO
one; while by the increased migration
Of whites, added to the greater repro
ductive powers of the blacks, the dis
parity increases at even more rapid
rates.

Rejoicing in London
London esblegram.1

The first news of the shooting Of Rosa
was bulletined in this city at midnight. 1t
caused the widest excitement among the
people on the streets and around the popu-
lar resorts at that hour. Men gathered in
groups ut corners to exchange comments
upon the affair, and the general impression
was that OF satisfaction. Persons who had
learned Of the shooting stopped even those
who were strangers to them to ask if they
had heard the news. There were frequent
hand shakings of congratulation, and even
hurmhs, and men rushed TO the bars in the
hotels shouting out the good news and laud-
ing as heroine the assailant of the much
despised dynamiter.

ONE of the differences between the
system commonly followed of shipping
cattle alive ana that of shipping dressed
beef to market is thus shown by the
Northwest: "The beeves are driven
from neighboring ranges to the slaugh-
tering establishments on the line of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, and their
carcasses, when packed in the re-
frigerator- cars, are in the best possible
condition to serve as healthful food.
