A Negro Brute.

Clarence Benn, seventeen-year-o old col
ored boy, was arrested last night by De-
tective Sutton, of the First precinct, for
committing criminal assault upon Mamie
Stevens, an eight-year-old girl, also col
ored. Clarence is rather epulsive-looking
boy who ran away from his parents in Phil
adelphia two years ago, and since that
time has been living with the Stevens girls
mother, in Slater's alley, between L and F
and Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. He
has been employed as waterboy mt the
Lafayette Square Theater. The boy con-
fesses his guilt and is being held awaiting
the result OF the girls injuries.

Last week Jake Mil dug a sheep
out of a snow drift that mad been
buried eve since the storm; just
1wentv-eight days, and not a morsel
of food had it touched during that
time. MIR. Mill says the sheep was
still alive and when he carried it to
a little knoll and put it down on the
ground, the animal at once went to
nibbling the sage brush and is now
doing well. This is no fake for Mr..
Mill is not that kind of a man to
prevaricate over a matter of this
kind. When it comes to roughing
the sheep seems to have no superior.

Iron Foundations.

A new way Of constructing a solid
foundation for tall building has been
tried with success in Berlin. 1t was
necessary to find solid base sufficiently
strong to carry building weighing
more than 10000 tons. The plot Of
ground upon which the building was to
stand was adjoined on both sides by high
buildings, which rendered unsafe the
digging to any depth for foundation.
The only way out of the difficulty was
the sinking Of caisson in the center of
the plot, upon the cemented top Of which
hollow form of cement was built. Into
this form molten iron was poured, fill
ing up the space, and upon this cast iron
foundation plate the understructure of
the building now rests, while the side
walls are supported by cantalever struc-
ture. The full weight of the load upon
the cast iron foundation is estimated at
more than 20, 600 tons. New Ideas.

Game Killed In Montana by Sportsmen

II have known two self called sports

deer, story the ranchmen at whose
home they put up corroborated That

knew man to go and make winter
camp and kill over 100 deer, which he
hung up. He tried to sell them where
they hung, but failed. He went east
somewhere, where he lived, and I've

to have killed 100, but I counted $50

There were deer carcasses all about the
camp.
Il could name more than 90 Of such

deer and left them where they fell. On

Canada's Forest Wealth.

The forests of Canada have supplied
more or less the wants of Europe for
centuries. From the earliest days Of its
occupation by the French the forest
wealth of the country washed by the st.
Lawrence engaged the attention of the
government of France, who saw there
IN vast resources available for its
naval yards. 1t drew from these for
ests large numbers of masts and spars
and issued stringent regulations for the
preservation of the standing oak. When
the country was first ceded to Great
Britain, but little attention was paid at
first to its vast timber supply, owing to
the fact that almost the whole of the
Baltic trade was carried on in British
bottoms, and that the timber of north
ern Europe provided an unfailing and
convenient return freight for the ship
ping thus engaged. When, however, the
troubles of the Napoleonic era com.
menced, and especially when the con-
tinental blockade was enforced, the tim

the United States l never noticed that

CLOTHING AN ARMY.
4 Costs Great Britain Over s6,000,000 10
Dress Its Soldiers.

4 Costs Great Britain Over sG,000,000 "a
Dress Its Soldiers.
It costs the British government 20,
ESQ, 600 annually for clothing furnished
It's army all over the world. Each OF
the foreign possessions. however, has to
nav back to certain extent the amount
which the uniforms of the troops sta
toned or sent there has cost, and this
entails no end of complicated bookkeep-
ing.
India, for instance, pays for the cloth
ing of its own troops, and also for the
uniforms of the men which England
sends there. The latter item is about
1915, 900 annually. On the other hand,
when regiment comes home from In
dia, that country has to be paid back
the full value of the clothes they wear.
The government sells old and worm
out articles to the secondhand dealers,
who, by the way, usually accumulate
fortunes in short time. The value OF
castoff clothes 50 disposed OF is about
$140, 900 yearly. The scraps remaining
after the uniforms have been cut out
also bring matter Of $50, 900 annual
~. In all the authorities receive back
about 81, 800, 900, thus reducing the to-
tai cost of clothing the army to less than
$5, 900, 900 year.
The best quality Of everything is used
in the manufacture of uniforms. In
fact, it is said they are too good for du
rable wear. A huge factory in Pimlico,
London, makes large share OF the fur
nishings, but vast quantities of foot and
head gear are bought ready made. Boots
and leggings, for example, cost 81, 1867
600 and headdresses $3.50, 900.
The thousands of miles of flannel,
linen, calico, cloth, velvet, etc., the |
millions of buttons, the tons of cotton |
wool, the billions of yards of sewing
cotton, that are made into smart tunics,
tidy trousers and warm shirts cost 3d.
425, 600. The wages paid for making
these up are over So, 900 week. Some
of the salaries paid for this branch are
excellent for England. The inspector of
clothing receives SO, 900 and his assist
ants $3.50 apiece, and so on down the
long list.
But all this vast expense is probably
much less than the annual outlay that
France or Germany makes for keeping
its soldiers smart in appearance in times
OF peace. In Germany, for example, ev-
cry man in the army is said to have
four complete suits of military clothing.
