Dangers of the Paint Brush

A word OF wa rning concerning the dam
gers of the paint brush. a common
practice among water-color artists is to
put the brush in the mouth, in order that
they may with the tongue get fine point
and it is argued that this method must be
often resorted to in delicate painting.
Moreover, artists frequently contract the
habit of holding several brushes in the
hand not actually engaged in painting. so
as to have them in readiness when re-
quired, and IL often happens that the
brushes, from not having been properly
cleaned, contain a certain mount oil
dried paint on the handles Now, it is
| well known that " are not all constitut'
ed alike, fer some persons can do with i'm
punity what others could not venture
upon without fear of serious conse
quences This is the case with regard to
the handling of paint brushes, for al
though in the majority of instances no i'll
effects may arise, still there are some
people, and especially girls. with such
delicate and absorbent skins, that the in
furious effects of the dried paint on the
brush is conveyed to the system by tht
mere process of handling, and blood
poisoning of more or less severe charac
ter is the result. 1t would be well, there
fore, not only to avoid placing the brusl
in the mouth, unless thoroughly cleanset
in clear water, but also to take care tha
all paint is removed from the handles O
the brushes before putting them ava.
after use. By carefully adopting thi
practice and by occasional y sucking
lemon while engaged In the studio, n
bad effects are likely to happen, and wha
has hitherto been considered pleasan
occupation will not prove injurious 1
health as it has done on one or two OF
casions recently.

The Campaign In Maine.

SOUTH PARIS, Me August 26-Mr.
Blaine spoke here this evening to a
large assem- blage. His address was in
great part repetition of the arguments
which he has elaborated in his two pre-
vious speeches in the campaign. In
touch ing upon the Prohibition question
Mr.. Blaine said 1T was ridiculous to
suppose that tbs Democratic party
would make any genuine effort to pro-
mote the cause of temperance. He de-
clared that the Prohibitionists were in
consistent in opposing the Republican
party. They would be obliged to ac
knowledge that 10 was under Republi.
can ad,ninist, alton that Maine had out.
stripped by a quarter of q century all
her sister States on the temperance
q question, aud. from being one of the
poorest, had grown to be among the
most prosperous States in the Union. -
The Republican party had never failed
to support prohibition.

Mr.. BIaine's Campaign

South PARIS, Me-, Aug 90 AT
neither of the places at which Mr.. Blaine
and General Gibson have spoken this
week has there been better or more ap-
preciative audience than greeted him here
this afternoon. The crowd numbered
about 1000 people, many of whom were
ladies, and although the day was extreme
ly warm and the audience was exposed to
the direct rays. of the sun, none exhibit
ed restlessness, but listened with the
close st attention to what Mr.. Blaine said
regarding temperance and the advantage
| of Protec i've tariff. Among the GRO ~d
were large number of Gree nbackers and
Knights of Labor and not few Demo
Gratis. ex-governor Perham presided
over the meeting and in his Introductory
remarks he congratulated the audience
on the opportunity they were about tt
enjoy OF hearing some of the best speakers
| in this country. 81 am glad to intro
| duce to you as the first speaker this AFTER
noon," said he, ''a man whose speeches
attract more attention than those OF any
| other man in this country
| The presence of Governor Perham as
the presiding officer natura ly recalled tc
Mr.. Blaine's mind when he was speaking
of the progress the temperance movement
has made in this country, the fact thai
when the ex-governor was speaker OF the
Maine House of Representatives some OF
the most important of the present pro
| hibitory laws were enacted, AS ibis is in
Mr.. Dingley's representative district the
! mention of that gentleman's name natur
ally aroused applause. What Mr.. Blaine
said about the benefits the working
people and the industries OF the country
had derived from the Protective tarit
also had a special significance on accoun
of the proximity OF localities where cer
tain labor troubles have existed durinl
the past year or two.

Infanticide or Accident?

An investigation was begun by Deputy
Coroner Ashbridge on Wednesday, in the
case of William Francis Dandy, weeks
old, 241 Siegel street, Philadelphia,
which the police of the Second District re
ported rs an infantici6e. Mary Toland.
II years, testified that she was the mother
of the child, and that John Dandy, ~
years, 531 Washington Av. nue., was the
father. She put the baby in bed between
10 and IL O'Clock on Monday night.
Four other persons occupied the same
bed, her child being near the front. The
woman awoke shortly after midnight and
found her infant dead. The body
was warm and there was blood on the
mouth.
Dandy was called, but his counsel ad
yised him not to testify, as he might
criminate himself.
Coroner's Physician Formal testified
that he had made post examina
ton Of the body and found that deati
had been caused by sutiocation due tc
violence. There were fingernail marks OF
the back OF the child's neck.
At this poiIt the case was continued
for further investigation the mai

nesday afternoon, and the entire party
pitched out and considerably hurt. The
horse was torA loose from the carriage,
and ran down the road some distance
before it was caught. 1t is surprising
that the whole party sss not killed
outright, as the carriage was carried
some distance by the locomotive. The
accident was owing to two trains hay
ing lust passed and the third one was
waiting on the sideing for its right to

Powd s,Iy's Chicago Enemies.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Grand Lecturer
Carleton, of the Knights of Labor, in an
interview to day said; /" We hold that
an Anarchist is opposed to law, and one
of our prime principles is the unfolding
of all law and the looking toward law re-
form for all perman ent reform In labor
abuses. On that ground we believe we
have good reason for expellipg known
Anarchists from our assembl ,es. They
can be kept out by the black ball, and
hold can be thrown out for holding views
subversive of the good of the order"
"That means, then," asked the report.
er, "that you reins ated the assemblies
Nos. 1907 and 2S09 on promises by them
to try the known Anarchists within their
own bodies and to expel them?"
"The way to clean the order of the worst
form of socialism is to weed them out as
you would garden"
Among the Socialists of the city restor a.
tion was looked upon as decided victory
for the cause. They held that Socialism
would soon permeate the order every
where as the natural doctrine of the
Iworkingmen. But, further than that,
they threaten Mr.. Powderly. They de
nounce him for giving away the secrets
of the order, for writing for magazines
and papers as the head Of the knights o.
Labor, and lastly, for denouncing social
ism and anarchy, which, they claim, dt
| not disqualiiy for membership in tht
Knights.
"It we can not defeat Powderly for re
election" said member OF No. 1907,
and it is just possible that we can not,
then the only thing that remains for US tt
do is to impeach him. We could Charge
him with giving away tine secrets of the
order, and with denouncing through the
public press members in good standing
He is continually parading, in the public
prints, sturies which should never b'
I, seen outside of an assembly room.
The statements expressed in the above
paragraph are pretty universal among tn
Chicago nblies, but it is not believed
that they obtain elsewhere.
