Bristles-

Bristles are only obtained from hogs,
and, strange as it may seem, the United
States, which is the largest hog produc-
ing country, is very small bristls pro-
ducer. The statement Is made in the
Pharmaceutical Era that for all bristles
used by practical workmen in painting,
decorating, whitewashing, vanishing,
where satisfactory results are required,
we are obliged to 60 to other countries
for our supply. American bristles are
short, crooked, and only used for the
cheapest kinds of brushes, very largely
in household brushes of low price, and
small brushes where finished, attractive
results are not required. They are short
because the hogs are killed young, be-
fore the bristles have time to grow
Longer. pork being the article sought by
the growers, and bristles only IN insig-
nificsnt by product. They are gathered in
this country at the various large packing
establishments by contractors who buy
the privilege of having men grab what
bristles they can % the hogs pass along
in being cleaned after killing A stated
amount is paid per hog. The hair from
the ridge Of the animals back, being the
best, is secured first. and saved for
brush-maker's use. The side hair Is
kept separate and used to mix in cheap
grades Of curlcd hair for upholsterers.
Nearly all American bristles are gray,
which makes them sell for less than they

A Valuable Secret.

number of others, at work on house
which was being erected close by, who
always appeared to be in merry humor,
and who had kind and cheerful smile
for every one he met. Let the day be
ever so cold, gloomy, or sunless, the
happy smile danced like sunbeam on
his cheerful countenance. Meeting him
one day, Franklin requested to know the
secret of his constant, happy flow OF
spirits.

And Franklin adds

HUEs OF THE EARTH.
The Color of Mars Believed to BE Due
to Its Red Vegetation.

The wonderful difference between the
same landscape in winter and in summer
is phenomenon familiar to all dwellers
in the temperate zones. The two great
elements Of changes are the presence OF
snow in winter and of leaves and grass
in summer. If we could look at our
globe from the moon, says a writer in
Youths Companion, the variation in its
aspect due to seasonal changes would
perhaps be even more striking than il
appears to those upon its surface.
In fact, we sometimes lose sight of the
very important part which vegetation
plays in giving color to what might be
countenance of the planet.
II is not the higher forms of plants
that always produce the greatest effect
in this way. Some of the most striking
scenes upon earth owe their characteristic
features to MOSES and hchens. The
famous "crimson cliffs" of Greenland,
which extend for miles northward from
Cape York, derive their splendid color
from the growth of red lichen which
covers their faces.
The cliffs rise between LOO and o.
900 feet straight from the waters edge,
and being composed of gray granite
their aspect would be entirely different
from what it is but for the presence OF
the lichen.
Coming to less magnificent, but not
less beautiful scenery, the rocky pass,
called the Golden Gate, IN the Yellow
stone National Park, owes its rich color
and its name to the yellow lichen cover
ing its lofty walls, and the indescribable
hues of the great hot spring terraces
arise mainly from the presence of minute
plants fourishing in the water that over.
flows them.
Considered as q whole, the vegetation
of planet may give it q characteristic
aspect 40 viewed from space. Many have
thought that the red color of Mars may
be due to the existence of red instead OF
green vegetation there.

DR.. Smith is very short and compactly,

PLENTY OF GOLD.

Something About the Various Mining

The gold-mining outlook for Colorado
is particularly bright at this time. The
recent discoveries at Balfour and Goose
Creek give great promise of following
In the wake of Cripple Creek. The old
districts will largely exceed their last
years product, and, besides, q great
deal of development work IL being dore
in them that will more largely add TO
the production of 1894. The hereto
fore recognized limits or confines OF
prospected sections have been over
stepped and new finds made beyond such
boundaries. Even Gilpin County has
widencd her mineral belt, and now boasts
OF her Pine Creek district, and is striving
to take Yankee Hill under her wing.
Clear Creek County prides herself on
the latter place, but also has such other
good gold camps as Empire, Dumont
and Mcclellan Mountain.
Boulder County points to Ward and
challenges the world to beat it in quality
OF ore produced. Besides Ward, Copper
Rock Is STRIPPING" that will bear
keeping an eye on. Sunset, Magnolia,
Sugar Loaf and Left Hand are all excel
lent camps that contribute to the glory
of Boulder, not to mention the ''infant'
Bloomerville that is scarcely out of
swaddling clothes.
Park County has list of gold camps
whose fame is known the world over.
Alma, Fairplay, Tarryall, Silver Heels,
Democrat, Mount and Buffalo Sloughs or
Balfour each suggest millions.
Ell Paso County has her Cripple
Creek.
La Plata County, in the southwestern
part of the State, has the La Plata
Mountains, which are full of gold and
have attracted such bonanza kings as
Marcus DAILY and +. l.. Jones. The
gold belt extends to Mancos, and be-
yond has been opened on both sides of
the range.
Hinsdalc County has its Golden
Fleece, Black Wonder and many other
good mines.
Lake County has its gold belt near
Leadville, and boasts of the best paying
gold mine in the State in the Little John
ME.
Creede's silver mines are turning to
gold, if accounts are trustworthy; never
theless she has gold district of great
promise in the Bear Creek country.
Summit County is noted for gold mug
gets and fine specimens taken from her
rich placers and mines.
Eagle County is we'll known. because
of her famous Holy Cross district, with
its lesser satellites.
Gunnison has fine gold belt near
Pitkin, and is nursing big boom for
her Goose Creek ountry.
San Miguel is in the procession with
Tulluride and Ophir, both largely out
putting the yellow metal.
Routt County, in the northwestern
part of the State, has fine placers in the
vicinity of Hahn's Peak and Elkhead.
Next season these placers will more
than double the placer gold output OF
the State.

BIDS FOR THE BONDS.

The Range Thought Not Likely to Go

Letters and dispatches offering to take
the proposed new Government bonds began
to pour in upon secretary Carlisle early
Thursday morning Many of the dis
patches simply notified the Secretary
that offers had been forwarded by

cursory examin alton, and he does not pro-
pose to consider them or make them public
until the bidding closes He thinks that
an announcement OF the prices offered
would be unfair to the bidders who have
already submitted their offers and might
afford q guide to the range Of prices
to future bidders The range is not
great and is not likely to go much above a
2H per cent rate. This would make the price
of the bonds about 122. 1t is not supposed
that many bidders IL any. will go much
higher. because money can always be
placed at ga per cent. and the ~ per
cent bonds which were continued by Sec
rotary Foster at 2 per cent, in 1901 are now
at discount because of the low rate.
