On the state dining table. beside this

candelabra, each holding ten candles. They
seem fitted to keep the lake company, but
they came into the White House at a much
later date. and were purchased by Mrs.
Hayes. There are several mementos of
the exquisite taste of Mrs. Grant about
the White House. On the old mahogany
sideboard on the south side of the state
dining room is beautiful bronze. In the
red parlor are a gilt pitcher and bowl
bro ught from Birmingham, England, by
Mrs. Grant, and the candlesticks Of French
gill were also her purchase. They always
stand on the mantel. In the blue par
lor is a handsome gilt clock, which Mrs
Grant brought from Paris. On each side
of the clock are vases, which she pur-
chased at the game time.

low stable cannot he so ventilated
as to give pure air and an even tenn
perature; there is is not room enough
for free circulation. The ventilation
chutes commonly used are about one
foot square inside. In these the fric-
ton is so great and they are so liable
to be obstructed by spiders webs. etc.
that but poor current is created. In
stead of being twelve inches they
should be not less than three feet As
the area of these chutes is as the
squares Of their sides, the one has nine
times tile area of the other, with ONLY
three times the side surface for fric
ton, and the danger of obstruction is
reduced to the minimum. But the
cupoln or projection above the build
ing IS the most important part of nil
ventilators. As m almost general
rule, this is built with Slated sides
like the shutters TO blind. The build
ers have only thought of keeping the
rain out by so arranging that the water
would run TO the outside. and never
for n moment thought that twice as
much air would he forced in ON the
windward side rs could escape on the
lee side. Any one who has such top
to his barn or stable must have noticed
every time it rains or SHOWS. with anv
wind, even moderate one. that the
Hoor under the cupola has pile of
snow or is wet This shows TINT in
stead OF taking air out of the stable or
barn 1T IS forcing it in, and if he will
stand under the ventilator when the
wind Is blowing he will find strong
downward draught. The cowl used on
hop kilns works well on small build-
ings, but it is too small for large
stables, and costs too much money if
made large enough for large barns or
stables.
ON one other point much discussion
has taken place Shall the vcntilat.

theoretically just right to have the
trunk go TO the floor. practically

done. If this device he put ON its ton
the least breeze will, 10y flowing around

draught in the chute and will take nil

The Maddox" Scare.

The. ''mad-dog scare" is exaggerated,
says Outing. Rabies and the posi-
hiiity of human being contracting it
are worthy of serious consideration,
yet genuine cases of it are very rare.
The so-called mad dogs" shot in the
streets of our cities during the heated
term were, in very few cases, if any,
suffering from rabies. This terrible
disease does not suddenly develop, as
do the common fits which may be pro-
duced by varying causes. Rabies
takes time to reach the dangerous
stage, and few dogs, if properly cared
for, could develop it without their
owners knowing that something seri-
GUS was the trouble. Horses kill
many more people than dogs are re-
sponsible for, yet we do not contem-
plate the extinction of the equine race
LII the crumpled horn source of the
family milk supply happened to toss
the son and heir over the barn, should
we advocate that the entire tribe of
Bos be destroyed?
The real difficulty about the dogs is
not so much their fnult as the fault of
their owners. People who do not
know how to take care of and control
n dog should have no right to own
one. A dog should never be kept
where the owner cannot be certain
that the animal will do no serious
damage, will be properly fed, exer-
cised, and kept in general good condi-
ton. Savage dogs and wandering ours
should be destroyed

business Nirissitnhes

The annals of commerce are not en-
orely without spice of romance.
There Is little retributive Justice that
savors of the novelists art in the way
the spetle- - sometimes spelled in
business relations. In an article en-
titled Made in Japan, the Pail Mall
Gazette shows how nations have en-
croached upon one another's business,
and reaped for time a rich harvest,
only to see the same tactics employed
by rival people, and be forced to
stand aside while the trade slipped
from their hands into the keeping of
another nation.
In old times the Dutch, by import
ing English clay, made good profit
out oil limitations of Chinese porcelain,
and presently the Dutch product be-
came world known AS Delft ware.
But the Dutchman was no more Sc
cure In his profitable trade than had
been his predecessor, the Chinaman.
The English potters took to copying
the Dutch pattern, and sold their pot
terry much cheaper, and the north of
England became headquarters for the
Delft China.
AGAIN, however, the spoiler has been
spoiled. OF late the Japanese have
made themselves masters of the art OF
reproducing the patterns best liked in
England and have begun to encroach
on the domain long monopolized by
the English potter. The Japanese
product is finer and stronger, and
above all cheaper than the best Eng
lish ware, and Japan is providing the
markets with goods which were orig.
inally Chinese monopoly.

An Unlucky Pistol.

The other night / heard distin-
guished Scottish preseason relate n
curious coincide nee which might add
another to tine many subtle, :nsclcble
questions relative to the speculative
regions of the unknown in nature, ami
mate and inanimate. He stated that
one day a woman was brought to his
surgery, having been shot in the head
with bullet from a pistol. She had
been In an auction room. While the
auctioneer was exhibiting and selling
the pistol, it went off and shot the wo-
man. He was unaware it had been
loaded. The bullet was not found.
The woman died. The auctioneer was
tried for manslaughter, but was acquit-
ted, the jury finding that the cause of
death was accidental.
About ten years thereafter another
woman was brought to the surgery of
the preseason one day. She had been
shot in the bresst with n bullet from
a pistol. The woman and her husband
bad intended to emigrate. Tho hus-
band had bought pistol to defend
himself from the attacks of robbers or
savsges in foreign land. While ex-
aiming the pistol in his house it went
of, shooting his wife, who was sitting
opposite. The bullet was found. the
woman recovered. The husband was
tried for reckless use of firearm ms, but
was acquitted. After the trial the Grim
inal officer who, singularly enough,
had charge of both cases-presented
the pistol to the professor. 1t was the
same weapon that had caused both ac-
cidents. He stated that the criminal
authorities had returned the pistol on
the first occasion to the party to W HON
1T belonged. After the second accident
1T was deemed advisable to put tho
weapon in safe keeping. Ultimately
the professor handed over the pistol
as unique but dangerous relic to n
Scottish museum. 1t bears histori-
cal inscription.

"A FircprOof Tree.

"A government report from Colum-
bia contains a description of tree,
known as the chaparro, which is said
to possess the quality of being fire
proof. IL grows on the vast plains of
Columbia and the north of South
America, called cavannas, extensive
districts which are parched with heat
except during the rainy season. 1t
has long been the custom to clear the
ground for the new vegetation which
springs up SO luxuriantly on these
plains after the rainy season, by means
OF tre-and such fires, miles in extent,
kindled by the herdsmen, destroy
everything in the shape of vegetation
except the chaparro tree, which sur
wives to afford n welcome shade in nm
almost treeless region.
1t is small tree, seldom growing to
more than twenty feet in height, with
girth of about three feet, and it owes
Its protection from fire to the nature
of its hard, thick bark. The bark lies
on the trunk in loose layers, which do
not readily conduct heat to the more
delicate parts of the structure. 1t is
general idea among the natives that
this tree grows only where gold is
abundant in the soil below That it
is common in auriferous districts is
indisputable, but there is no ground
for supposing that it does not grow
elsewhere.

OF the cases, a man who was riding in
an omnibus had one of his eyes pierced

next to him, her head being thrown
against his face by sudden jolt of the
vehicle; and in the other girl was

Austria's Imperial Pawn Shop.

Austria has an imperial pawn shop.
1t was established in vienna in 1907.
when there was great distress among
the poor In the southern part of the
empire. 1t was designed as way to
secure the starving some means of i'm
mediate relief, and by putting the rate
OF interest as low as possible and the
valuations as high as possible and en-
bodying in the system every advantage
that could be given to those who
sought to make loans, it was found TO
be so effective that it soon gained the
imperial sanction, and it was not long
untll It's managers were made public
oiilcials under the direction of the min
lister OF the interior. This is substan
ually the status of the institution at
tnls time. The rates are so low that

and chattels of the poor could not pos

1898 total of eight hundred sixty.six
thousand and fifteen articles were
pledged, and of these eight hundred

markable redemption as compared with

shop. The unredeemed pledges were

pledge the balance was sent to the nc
