Subscription Laws.

Few readers or publishers of papers
fully and clearly understand the law
governing subscriptions The decisions
of the United States court on this sub
ject are
|. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their their
subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
fishers may continue TO send them un-
Ill all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the post
office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. If subscribers moye to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to their former
address, they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
office, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of
intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish TO
continue taking it; otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it, and the
subscriber will be responsible until an
express notice, with payment of all ar
rearages, is sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest anyone
for fraud who takes paper and refuses
to pay for it. Under this law, the man
who allows his subscription to run
along for some time unpaid and then
orders it discontinued or orders the
postmaster to mark it refused and have
a postal card sent notifying the pub
Usher, leaves himself liable to arrest
and fine the same as for theft.-Ex.

BRlSTLES FROM HOGS.
Brushmakers Prefer the Foreign Product
to the American.

to the American.
Bristles are only obtained from hogs,
and strange as it may seem, the United
States, which is the largest hog-pro-
ducing country, is a very small bristle
producer. The statement is made in the
Pharmaceutical Era that for all bris-
ties used by practical workmen in
painting, decorating, whitewashing,
vanishing, where satisfactory results
are desired and all beneficial toilet
brushes, we are obliged to go TO other
countries TO obtain our supply. Amer
lean bristles are short, crooked and
only used for the cheapest kind of
brushes very largely in house,
hold brushes of low prices, and in
small brushes, when finished attract
i've results are not required. They are
short, because the hogs are killed
young, before the bristles have time
TO grow large, pork being the article
sought by the growers, and bristles
only an insignificant product. They
are gathered in this country at the
various large packing establishment Is
by contractors who buy the privilege
of having men grab what bristle they
can as 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-makers' use. The side hair is
kept separate and used to mix in cheap
grades of curled hair for upholsterers.
Nearly all American bristles are gray,
which makes them sell for less than
they would if white.
