rhey Are Used Almost Exclusively by
Makers OF Fine Brushes.
In d well-known establishment on
an East side street, diverted TO paints
and artists materials OF every con-
ceivable description, there hangs on
the wall remarkable collection OF
paint brushes, large and small, so
tastofully and artistically arranged
within a gilded frame that one readily
receives the impression, at little dis
tance, that it is q curiously wrought
piece OF needlework. The frame in.
closing this grouping OF what would
be considered individually as exceed
ingly commonplace implements OF art
or trade is about eight feet long by
four feet in width. There are over
three hundred brushes in this collec-
tion OF different kinds and all are
manufactured by the firm in question.
1.-THE subject Of paint and artists
brushes is a very interesting one"
said one OF the members OF the firm in
response TO an inquiry as to the de-
tails Of their manufacture, "and tho
many processes the bristles or hairs
60 through forming the brushes are
peculiar"
Practically mono OF the finer
brushes, whether they be large or
small, are made from domestic bris-
ties. Nearly all the bristles come
from Germany or Russia, the Russian
being the more preferable, as the hogs
from which they arc taken run
wild in Northern Russia and ST.
beria, and arc larger aud sitter
than those OF the domestic animal.
Several attempts have been made TO
utilize the bristles from native hogs,
but without success. It is tho uni
versal law Of nature, among the lower
animals at least, that careful breeding
tends TO shorten the growth Of the
hair or bristles. have seen bristles
from the Russian wild boar measure
nearly foot long, and OF great
strength. These bristles are used for
paint, varnish, kalsomine and white
wash brushes and others OF the
coarsest description.
"But here is one of the smallest
size,n he continued, and took from a
case delicate and tiny brush about
the size OF a needle. This is used in
the finest class OF art work and, to-
gether with brushes Of slightly
coarser nature, is made from the hair
OF the sable, camel or badger.
"The brlstles always come TO us in
bulk and are first thoroughly cleaned.
After the cleansing process has been
finished they are carefully dried and
sorted, size for size. and are trimmed
TO the required length. They are then
attached to the handles and are ready
for immediate use. It takes from one
TO three days, according to the quality
OF the brush, 10 put it into perfect
shape. Y Mail and Express.

Peculiar and FatnI Eruption of volcano
In Japan.


In japan.
SAN FRANcIsco, Cal, Aug. lathe
steamer City OF Sydney, which arrived last
evening fsom Hong Kong and Yokohama,
brings through Japanese journals par-
ticulars OF the volcanic eruptlons OF
Bandal San, July 10. The details of the
catastrophe came In somewhat disjointed
form and the Choina Symbun dis
patched special reporter TO the
scene. According 20 the account the
villages around Bandai San heard strange
rumbling sounds and felt shocks Of earth
quakes from the 18th. These phenomenon
continued intcrmittently for two days and
nights but not being attended by any se-
rious result no great disquietude was felt.
On the morning Of July 10, about eight
O'Clock, the smaller Bandal San trembied
and roarc1 violently. Almost immedate-
ly afterward ashes began TO fall; the
sky suddenly grew dark, and the
rumbling sounds continued, accom-
panied by violent earthquake and
Hare Of dazzling flame. Then the crest
Of the small Bandal San appeared to lift
bodily upward and then to fall again with
a tremendous noise. Then followed show
ers Of red mud, mingled with large stones,
spreading havoc around Such indeed was
the nature Of nearly all the matter crupted
red mud without small stones, hut ac-
companied occasionally by heavy rocks.
Above the mud fell few inches OF ashes.
In the five villages OF Iwase, Yoson, Wa
kamiya, Misato and Hibara the greater
part OF the houses were buried 10 n
depth OF from seven TO twenty feet.
The state Of the bodies recov-
cred is terrible. Some are literally cut to
pieces, others are parboilcd so that II is
, scarcely possible TO distinguish between
men and women, and few corpses were
found suspended in the branches Of trees,
which had caught them rs they fell Up
TO the 18th the number OF bodies recovered
was 476. Il is believed that sixty zone arc
still entombed. Tho wounded number
forty-one. Eighty-seven houses were de-
stroycd.
The inhabitants OF lnawashiro and ad-
jacent villages fed TO Wakamatsea and
other places when the eruption occurred.
The report Of the local official of Waka-
matsea says the inhabitants OF lnawashro
and adjacent districts escaped with their
furniture. The wounded are receiving
treatment at the schoolhouse in Inawash-
iro. Their condition is shocking. Some
have fractured skulls and others broken
limbs, and the faces Of n few are battered
so as TO be unrecognizable. There are
about thousand people in need OF help.

MAXWELL HANGED.


Aftcr Three Years Delay tho Sentence OF
Death Is Carried Into Emect--IAndgiai ai
Also Hanged.
ST.. LOUIS, Aug 10.--1Iugh M. Brooks
alias Walter II. Lennox Maxwell, was ex-
ecutcd in the jail yard this morning few
minutes before nine O'Clock for the murder
Of Charles Arthur Proller in April, tsS5.
At the same time Henry Landgraf was
hanged for the murder Of Annie Tesch in
March, 1895.
At $500 sheriff Harrington, accompanied
by a deputy entered the yard and the sheriff
entered Maxwell's cell, where he and Land
graf had boon placed together, aud an
nounced that tho inal moment had ar
rived.
Maxwell paled aud pulled his fingers
nervously. His was tho first death war
rant read, and he stood up aud heard his
doom calmly though he was plainly grow
ing weaker all the time.
As Maxwell passed through the inner
yard he walked firmly but slowly. There
was wonderful change from the appa-
rontly unconcsrned man pulling a cigarette
and the one en- route TO his death. His
face looked pinched and drawn, Of an ashy
hue, and his eyes were swollen.
He glanced about him pitoously, his lips
twitching, and his appearance was calcu
lated TO awaken even the pity of those
who were convinced he ought to die.

the condition OF corn, from 93 per cent.
last month 10 9j.j. Rains have been gem
orally seasonable, though in excess in
some districts and deficient In others. In
Kansas, the Carolinas, Delaware and New
York the condition is reduced by local
droughts. in the Southwest, where
droughts sometimes occur at this season,
there has been an improvement, and a
large crop is already assured. In the corn
surplus States, high condition prevails,
with some advance over the figures last
month. The percentages Of the States Of
the central valleys are; Kentucky, es;
Ohio. 0s; Indiana, 90; Illinois, 90; Iowa,

A CUTTING THRUST.
now Senator Toombs Was Once silenced
by n Clever Woman.

by ~ NANNeN Wohhhs
Mr.. Laurence Oliphant, in his "Epi-
SCI in a Life OF Adventure, -" describes
visit which he made 20 the United
States as secretary TO Lord Elgin, in
1854. The company arrived in Wash
ington at a time of great political ex-
citement, the celebrated Nebraska bill,
for the extention of slavery, being just
then before Congress.
After a hurried meal we went TO the
capitol to see the vote taken. The
bill was passed amid great enthusiasm,
hundred guns being fired in celebra-
tion OF an event which, by those en-
dowed with foresight. could not be
called auspicious. 1 remember meet
ing a certain Senator Toombs few
nights afterwards, at q large dinner
given by one Of the most prominent
members OF Congress in Lord Elgin's
honor. 1t was u grand banquet, at
which all the guests were men, with
the exception OF the wife OF our host.
He himself belonged TO the Repub-
Ican, or, as II was then more gener-
ally called, the Whig party. Notwith-
standing the divergence OF political
opinion among those present. the
merits of the all-absorbing measure
were being discussed freely.
Senator TOombs, violent Demo-
crat, was large, pompous man, with
a tendency, not uncommon among
American politicians, 20 "orate" rather
than TO converse in society. He wait
ed for a pause in the discussion, and
then, addressing Lord Elgin in stelto-
riaR tones, remarked, Gpropos OF the
engrossing topic:
"Yes. my lord, we are about 10 re-
lume the torch Of liberty upon the
altar OF slavery"
Upon which our hostess, with win
ming smile, and in the most silvery ac-
cents imaginable, said:
"Oh, am so glad to hear you say
that again, Senator; for / told my
husband you had made use OF exactly
the same expression TO me yesterday,
and he said you would never have
talked such nonsense TO any body but
a woman!"
The shout OF laughter which greeted
this sally abashed even the worthy
Senator, which was the more gratiiy-
ing 10 those present, as TO do so was
an achievement not easily accom-
plished. YoutFs Companion.
