At Brazcka, in Bosnia, an old supersti-
tion has come to life again which resembles
the fables of Jewish ritual murders In
Bosnia the people have believed at all
times that a bridge could not be firm and
lasting unless human being was walled
up in it. Thus there is a legend connected
with the handsome Roman bridge at Mos
tar which says that the fine arch across the
Narenta could not be finished until the
architect walled up in it bridal pair
Now that solid bridge is being built
across the Save at Brazcka this supersti-
ton is revived. 1t is rumored everywhere
that gypsies are stealing children to sell
them to the contractors, who wall one up
In each pillar. A few days ago there was
a regular pursuit of some unlucky gypsies,
Of whom it had been said that they were
raiding for children.-London Daily News.

"I think that perhaps the most cheerful
man l ever knew" said Colonel Calliper,
twas my friend Stephen Gililim of Stork-
ville Center VT. He always took cheer
full view of things, and he had n sense Of
humor that ofttimcs enabled him TO cx-
tract fun from situations in which others
found only gloom. Indeed his sense Of
hu1nor was rather keener than one would
desire, for sometimes 1t sprung things on
him most unexpectedly. IL went skir
mishing on its own account and reached
humorous conclusions with great sudden
ness before Stephen had caught up When
his mind came along his sense of humor
would jump out with some idea so funny
that Stephen would have to laugh in spite
of himself.
'Of course this was defect in Stephen S
composition, and he knew it. You might
have thought that as he grew older in
crcasing years and cares would tame him
somewhat and blunt his sense of humor,
but they didn't. His years increased, to be
surc-he couldn't help that-but his cares
did not, for he wouldn t let 'cm. His sense
of humor was as abounding as ever. 1t
would greet him sometimes with smile
which seemed to say: What! We grow
oldS Welll' And then they'd both laugh
as they walked along together.
stephens sense of humor cost him
some friends and made him some trouble.
1t made him laugh sometimes at most in
opportune moments. He was himself as
much disturbed by this as anybody, but
not for long. for he was SO buoyant that
nothing could keep him down. He pass
ed through life n sturdy, prosperous man,
whose perfect enjoyment was marrcd only
by an excess of happiness. New York

Ingenious Brushmaking Machine.

Hitherto the process in brushmaking Of
punching the bristles and drawing them
into the holes has been performed by hand.
A machine of peculiar ingenuity has just
been invented for this purpose, the bristles
being contained in hopper, where they
rest horizontally at right angles on the top
of disk, which by means of treadle is
caused to partially rotate, first in one di-
rection and then in the other. The disk
has a notch formed in its periphery, and as
the notch passes under the bristles some of
them enter into the notch; before the disk
returns, plate Joined to the disk is moved
and closes the mouth Of the notch, thedisk
then comes back and carries away the tuft
Of bristle retained in the notch to a position
from which it can readily be taken by the
fingers Of the operative.
The whole arrangement is that of a peck
er or gripper and can be regulated accord
ing to the quantity of the material re-
quired to fill the hole, the operative passing
the wire through the hole by means Of a
special needle fitted to a clamp which is
held In the right hand, the loop being au-
tomatically formed Into this loop the op-
orator passes the tuft of bristles, pulls the
wire and thus draws the bristles into the
hole.-New York Sun.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Change.


 Chicago, Sept. Notwithstanding that our wheat market closed yesterday at prae- tteally unchanged prices from the day De fore. Liyerpool advices came forward thus thls morning with an advance. This startled the trade not a little but the bearish interest offered determined resistence to any re- sponse, and even succeeded in forcing temporary decline. But under the leader ship of one or two heavy operators the bulls assume an aggressive attitude ana event ualy changed the course From that time until the close rising values were in order very little opposition being eneountered, the market closing with net gan od l9ae ,,.e, TOT ments from both coasts during the week, 3l5l, 900 bushels. December wheat opened from 611a to 61l4e, sold between CO.'S and 63l.c closing at 63c 1%c higher than yes- terday. Cash wheat was strong and 1l2q2c higher.
 Corn-The strength which prevailed in wheat through almost the entire session was of such 8 pronounced order that It was not possible for corn to escape its ex- hiirating effect. It Is true the business was wanting, but the tone was firm and prices advanced a little. Had either the outside or local trade attempted to bull the market there is no doubt but that the assistance furnished by wheat would have overcome the bearsh conditions for time. May corn closing al 2ess429atc, 1s4l4c higher than yes- terday Cash corn was firm ana 14@12c per bushel- higher.
 Oats-The short session was not conducive to activity in oats There seems to be no interest whatever in the market and the trade was of the usual immature Klnu tOudy The strength of wheat extended aid to prices which held firm. May oats closed 1c higher than yesterday. Cash oats were firm and 14c per bushel higher.
 Provisons>The produce market was on the decline, save for few moments at the start. It was somewhat surprising that this should be in the face of the strength Of wheat an advance in live hogs. It was be- leved the packers were engaged in forcing out some long stuff and that explanation was probably the key to the situation. Last week report of receipts and shipments or hogs at Chicago showed an unusually large number remaining here, which fact was not construed in a. favorable light. At the close October pork was 5c lower than yesterday. October lard 7i2c lower and October ribs unchanged.
 The domestic markets were quiet and easier
 The leading futures ranged as follows:
