BlOOdhOund's Keen Scent.

4 remarkable exhibition Of the
kccnness of scent Of the bloodhound
was given at the little town of Bron-
son, in Allen county. the other day.
The town recently appropriated 500
out of the city treasury for the pur-
chase of one of these animals, the
purpose being the detection and cap
turc of thieves who were operating in
the neighborhood, and test of the
hound was considered desirable. At
noon three men started out on foot
and walk ed four miles into the country.
Then they mounted horses, and by a
circuitous route returned to the town.
Six hours later the hound was permit
ted to smell glove which had been
worn by one of the men, and the next
instant with deep howl he caught up
the trail and followed it on the run.
At one point the men had walked for
30 yards on a fence, and when the
hound came to this point he carried
his nose along the rail with hardly
any reduction of speed. Coming to
the place where the men had mounted
he took up the trail of the horses and
followed it into town, where, in a
crowd of moro than 100 men, he pick
ed out the one whose glove had been
given him smcll.-Kumsas City joW,

Hammers.

Hammers are represented on the
monuments Of Egypt, twenty centuries
before our era. They greatly rcsem-
bled the hammer now in use, save that
there were no claws on the back for
the extraction Of nails. The first ham,
mer was undoubtedly a stone held in
the hand. Claw hammers we're in
vented some time during the middle
ages. Illuminated manuscripts Of the
eleventh century represent carpenters
with claw hammers. Hammers are of
all size from the dainty instruments
used by the jeweler, which weigh less
than half an ounce, to the gigantic
ffty-ton hammer of shipbuilding estab-
lishmcnts, some of which weigh as
much as fifty tons and having falling
force of from 80 to 100. Every trade
has it's own hammer and it's own way
of using it.

For What he is Worth.

A traveller in Tennessee, noticing a
large number of people following a
wagon, rode up to an old fellow, who
sat on the fence, and asked the cause
of such large procession.
"W'y, they are takin' Sam Bates
out ter the graveyard. "
"Hc must have been very popular
man.
"Wall, I should reckon he was.
"Held high position, [ suppose. y
"Stood at the top.
'What was his business ?"
"Chopped cod wood fur living,
I believe.
"What do people in this section
pay so much attention to wood chop
pcrs ?"
"Look yarc, my friend, Sam was the
handiest man with fiddle there wuz
in this neighborhood, He could jest
nachully make fiddle cluck like a
hen. l don't know how it is whar
you come frum, but in this here COM

"MOuntain Dew

Outside of the ''moonshiner' and a
few particularly wel!-informed revenue
officers there are few people who know
how the real mountain dew" with
it's genuine taxless flavor, is made.
The process is simple, and varies from
the regular distillery methods by just
so much as the facilities of the "moon-
sinner differ from those of the law
keeping distiller.
The moonshiner sends his corn to
the mill to have it ground. Itis con-
verted into meal, the same as is used
to make corn bread. This meal is put
in tub or barrel Of boiling water.
1t stays until cool enough not to burn
the hands when they are put in it. It
is stirred up well and then put in the
still. The still is then filled with
cold water. After that the malt is
added. Malt is made by putting corn
in water and letting it soak two or
three days, or until it sprouts. The
malt is ground the same as the corn
was, and to every bushcl of corn are
added sixteen single hanofuls of malt.
The malt and the cold water are added
at the same time. Then the brew
stands until it sours, which requires
several days. In that time it begins
to "work'' or ferment. A crust, OF
cap, as it is called by the moonshin,
ers, of bran forms on the top of the
water. This cap is blush in color.
It is not disturbed at all.
In short time this cap settles to
the bottom, where it came from. The
weight of the solidi6ed mass of bran
or husks causes it to sink. The Ere is
then started under the still, and it is
only matter of two or three hours
until about two gallons of whiskey
have been distilled. The moonshinel
then has two gallons Of "dew," which
he can sell for from 81 to S5, as the
needs Of the purchaser may justify
and he has consumed six days and q
bushel of corn in making it. About
thirty gallons of water are used tc
brew one bushcl of corn.-Ncw Torh

Learned When a Boy.

Once, while visiting an insane asy-
lum in the East, | asked the supcrin
tcndent if he would allow me to see a
certain Methodist minister. | had
known the minister in my home as one
of the best and trucst of men, who, by
overwork, physical and mental, had
wrecked himself, ard become 4 raving
maniac. The superintendent of the
asylum said ''lou will not want to
see him but I said, yes and he
took me to the ward of the asylum
known as "bcdlam ward. Unlocking
the door of one of the cells VIC enter
cd. The inmate was locked up in the
"Straight-jacket,' to prevent him
from injuring himself.
As we entered the room the most
terrible, the most vile, the most vul-
gar oaths which I ever heard in my
life, came from his lips. | touched
the superintendent, and told him |
did not wish to stay longer. Going
down the corridor, | turned to the
superintendent and said to him :
"What can this mean ? When I knew
that man he was one Of the grandest
Christians-true, noble and good in
every respect and now"to hear such
vile language coming from him sur
priscs me.
The superintendent said: "He
learned to swear when a boy. The
impressions made on his brain at that
period of his life when the brain most
readily received impressions, now rea-
son is dethroned, become the govern
ing ones. In this asylum we can tell
almost uniformly what have been the
habits, the customs and abuses of in
sane people when they were children.
The brain at such times receives i'm
pressions readily; the impressions are
permanent; and if they have INDUCED
in vile practices, or used terrible Ian
guage, the dethroned of reason and
Intelligent conscience will give the
early impressions and habits control
of the mind.
Not only are these impressions per-
mancnt, but as we grow older-al-
though We may in measure disabuse
our minds of the belief in them-they
are cvcr-present to bless or to curse US
to very great extent.

Origin of the Steam Whistle.

1t is told that the locomotive whis-
tie was invented because of the de-
struction of a load Of eggs. When loco
motives were first built the country
roads were for the most part crossed
at grade and the engine driver had no
way of giving warning of his approach
except by blowing a tin horn. The
horn, it may be imagined, was far from
being sufficient warning. One day in
the year 1888 farmer Of Thornton
was crossing the railroad track on one
of the country roads with great load
of eggs and butter. Just as he came
out upon the track a train approached.
The engine man blew his horn Justify,
but the farmer did not hear it. Eighty
dozen of eggs and fifty pounds of but
ter were smashed into an indistin-
guishable, unpleasant mass and
mingled with the kindling wood to
which the wagon was reduced. The
railroad company had to pay the farm
er the value of his wagon. 1t was con-
sidered a very serious matter and
straightway director of the company,
Ashlen Baxter by name, went to
Alton Grange, where George Stephen
son lived, to see if he could not invent
something that would give warning
more likely to be heard. Stephenson
went to work and the next day had a
contrivance which, when attached to
the engine boiler and the steam turn
ed on, gave out a shrill: discordant
sound. The railroad directors, great
ly delighted, ordered similar contriv-
ances attached to all the locomotives,
and from that day to this the voice of
the locomotive whistle has never been
silent. From Iron.

She Started Him.

There was look about the woman s
eye which indicated that she had ask
ed her husband for the last time to do
what she wanted. It was not an an
9ly look; it was merely an expression
which showed that ordinary means had
failed and she must try fnessc. Her
husband, who was sitting on the step,
looked over the top of his paper as
she passed him to 60 to the front gate.
"I'm going after that loaf Of bread
you spoke of in few moments now, -
he said, apologetically.
"I'm not going to make any more
requests" she answered. But he did
not hear her. His face was again
buried in his newspaper.
Presently she came rushing up the
walk and exclaimed:
"One of the neighbors saw patrol
wagon 60 up the street at gallop and
turn the corner toward the grocery.
There must have been fight or some
thing
Without a word he had grabbed his
hat in an instant and was going down
the street at rate which made two
carriages turn out for fear of a collis-
ion. As his wife gazed after him she
saw him going around the corner so
fast that the centrifugal force threw
him over on one side.
In five or ten minutes he came back.
He handed her bundle and reached
for his paper, saying:
Here's that bread. AS long as |
was so near the grocery | thought l
would get it and stop your fretting
about it. But l didn't see any dis
5urbance. "
"Are you talking about the patrol
wagon and the crowd?" she inquired,
innocently.
"Of course I am -
"Why, that happened day before
yesterday. But I'm ever so glad you
got the bread, dear. = Washington

Drowned in q Tub.

Beautifuflittle Lena Alberta Kind,
the 16-months old daughter of NJ. and
Mrs. Artie Kind, was picture Of
health when she arose yesterday
morning. Her soft golden hair hut-
tered in the breeze, as, clad in her
neat little pinafore, she toddled out
into the yard about II o'clock to play.
Little did her devoted mother, who
fondly watched her childish glee as
she passed out through the door,
dream that at that very moment the
angel of Death was lowering near the
loved little one. BUT such was the
case; in short Is minutes the little
eyes we're forever closed upon the
world the life of the lovely little
flower had fed.
Soon after the little Lena had gone
out her mother asked some one where
she was. She could not be found.
She had disappeared. The mother
and others about the house at once
instituted search, going out into the
street and all over the neighborhood.
Finally they returned to the yard and
going to the rear, where an ordinary
tub was sitting, the mother was horri-
fed to find her little ones body. The
tub had been used for washing some
clothes and some dirty water had been
left therein, to a depth of not more
than six inches. The child had gone
to the tub, and, while bending over
the side had lost her balance, falling
headfrst into the dirty water When
the child was removed from the tub,
there was no sign of life. The little
body was cold and still. In great
haste DR.. Knowlton was summoned
and he was quickly on the scene. A
hasty examination convinced him that
the child was dead, but he did every
thing known in his efforts to bring
her back to life all the same. No
efforts were of any avail. The mother
was almost prostrated by the death of
the child -CUlmJu State.
