A COLLECTION of Powder-Horns.

Who ever heard of collecting powder
horns? This peculiar fad was originated
and developed by gentleman who, as
may be supposed, still has q monopoly of
il. His name is Professor Rutus Grider,
and he teaches drawing i'll the public
schools of Canajoharie. All of his leisure
time and spare money are devoted to this
pursuit.
Ordinary, everyday powder do
not excite his attention, however. His
collection is limited to those of historical
interest, chiefly in connection with the
war OF the revolution. Usually such
horns are held as relics in families; but if
he cannot secure the original Professor
Grider will travel any distance to make a
sketch OF it. Up to date be has secured
sketches of $50 specimens.
1t might be imagined that one powder
horn was pretty much like another, but
this is very tar from being the case, par
ticularly where historical horns are con-
cerned. In old times these articles were
much priced for any associations they
might have, aud much care was fre-
quently bestowed in beautiying them.
Many of them were elaborately carved
with different sorts Of devices, including
representations of battle scenes, patriotic
EN- blems, and even portraits OF conspicu-
GUS perSOnageS.
In each of his $50 sketches Professor
Grider not only gives a picture OF the
powder-horn, with its carvings and in
scription. but adds an appropriate design
in water colors. For example, the like
ness of q horn used at Ticonderoga is ac-
companied by a little painting OF Ticon-
derogs as it looks to-day. Some of the
inscriptions referred to are very odd in
deed--quaint bits OF doggerel verse, etc.
In short, the collection possesses no
small interest from the historical point of
view.
A short time ago Professor Grider
loaned the collection to the National Mu-
scum. In some way thirty OF the pict-
ures were mislaid. In fact. it was be-
lieved that they were lost, and the owner
well-nigh distracted. Happily, however.
they turned up day or two ago, and it
is probable that by this time the Professor
has been made happy again by the news
of their recovery. Washington Evening

Canine Labor in Belgium.

In this country the dog is really, in nine
cases out of ten, the master OF the man.
In Belgium, however, his status is very
different. one of the first things that inI-
press the stranger in Brussels Is the i'm
laense number ofdogs employed in draw
ing barrows and small carts about the
streets In the Capital alone over 10000
dogs are so engaged. and the number of
draught dogs in the whole country is
probably not less than 50.U00 Genera
tions OF seryitude have maoc the Belgian
dog race apart. For his size he is said

any animal, four times his own weight

half a hundred weight. this means that
something like D. 600 tons are daily dragged
about by canine labor in Belgium.

DIS nfeotIon After scorlet Fever

Experiments by DR.. William Gibson of
Campbeltown. Scotland. III disinfecting
scarlet fever patients so as to free them
from contagion before the process of des-
'quamation is completed. have resulted
successfully, according to the Phiadel-
phia Ledger. His method was to give a
succession of three or four comfortably
warm baths, sometimes daily, at other
times on alternate days, using freely car
bollc acid soap, and washing the patient
thoroughly from top to toe. After each
bath. except the last. the patient was put
back to the bed on which he had lain
with the disease. After the last bath he
was taken into a clean room, dressed
with clothes free from infection and then
allowed to mingle with the rest of the
family. In most cases the body was
anointed daily with olive oil mixed with
some disinfectant. Patients with such
complications as otitis or ulcerated or
suppurating throat were not subjected to
the process. No complications followed
the cleansing process in any case, but
convalescence seemed to be rather hast
ened than retarded.

lts topeka Correspondents Discusses the
Proposed New Commission.
A special to the Kansas City Journal
from Topeka regarding the application
of business men for new board of po-
lice commissioners says:
Last night and today a delegation of
citizens from Wichita have been in con-
sultation with Governor Morrill, over
the prohibition row which is so bitterly
in progress in their city.
The gentlemen comprising the dele
cation were: J. H. Black, r. H. Roys,
DR.. Z. 3. Allen, @. VI. Dickson, r. e.
Vermillion and l.. W. Clamp. They an
nounced themselves as representing
the conservative business element of
Wichita, who were neither allied with
the prohiDitionists on the one side nor
the resubmiSSionists on the other. They
represented that Wichita was torn into
factions which were ba ttling with bit
terneSs Of hostile nations. 1t was no
longer a question of the enforcement Of
a law. but a personal war between riv-
al elements which placed the peaceand
material prosperity of the city in seri-
Gus jeopardy. They earnestly assured
the governor that errors had been COM
mitted on both sides and that the law
could not be enforced with the radical
element of either side in positions of
power, They asked for a new deal in
which the conservative element should
be recognized and presented as their
candidates for police commissioners the
following: General W. S. Corbett, j. 2.
Allen and Charles A. Walker
The first two are Republicans and the
latter IS Democrat In suppore of
their candidacy the delegates handed
Governor Morrill, a petition signed by
1000 citizens of Wichita, among whom
they asserted were 500 church members
and seven ministers of the gospel.
To appoint this board of police com
Governor Morril must first
remove the three men now holding the
places at the demand of the radical
temperance element. When they were
appointed three months ago it was al
legged that new board was required
because the old board was not enforc-
ing the prOhibitory law The governor
was assured that the new board would
enforce the law from start to finish, and
the delegation here today called his at
tenton to the fact that the board had
not succeeded in doing so with nearly
the success of the board which they re-
placed.
Governor Morril gave the delegation
no answer. He has taken the matter
under adyisement, and will not decide
until he has thoroughly Investigated
the representa- tons made
To reporter for the Journal this af-
ternoon Governor Morril said he was
very much perplexed over the Wichita
situation. No convictions of violators
Of the prohibitory law Were being made
and yet he had placed the entire ma
chinery in the hands of the Temperance
element. 1t might be possible that a
board made up Of steady-headed bust
ness men would succeed better but he
had appointed just such board in the
first place and the temperance men had
levolted. What was best to do he had
not yet decided.
