MILLIONS IN PAINTING.
The HertfOrd-N Wallace Collection Is
Worth &7,oOO,00O.

Dhe celebrated HertfoId-Wallace col
lection of pictures bequeathed to thu
British nation by Lady Wallace is est.
mated to be worth ST 100000. Her mag
nanimity, says the Boston Transcript
is all the more noteworthy because she
was struck off the queens visiting lis,
many years ago.
Sir Richard Wallace died on July 20
1890, leaving behind him the most ia
nous art collection of any EngliShman
The whole of Sir Richards great wealth
and the peerless collection of picture.
(Which includes 10 examples of Nelson
Ter and Is of GreuAe) were given to his
wife for her own free disposition. Prior
to his death, however, he expressed his
wishes to his wife that after her death
his superb collection of works of arr
should go to England's national gallery
and that his wish in this respect should
be carried out she arranged several
years ago.
The magnificent Hartford collection
comprised when it passed into Sir Rich
ard Wallace's hands splendid assert
ment of paintings, porcelains, bronzes,
decorative furniture, jewelry and other
works of art. His own purchases dur
ing the past 30 years included many of
the choicest examples of old japanese
art, which he was one of the first to
bring to the attention of European
connoisseurs: of the masters of the
Italian renaissance, notably the produc-
tons in silver of 8envenuto Cellini and
his immediate followers and of modern
French painters.

So strong is the influence welded by
conscience, and so frequently does it
cause the wrong-doer to atone for his
sin, that for the past SIS years the con-
science fund has been officially recog-
nized as one of the regular sources of
revenue for the United States govern
ment, writes Clifford Howard IN
Ladies' Home Journal. During this
time the consciences of the American
sources at the rate of about $500
month. or total sum up to the present
year of something over $500. OO0-the
amounts of the individual contribu-
lions varying from few cents to sever
al thousand dollars. The smallest con-
tribution ever made to the conscience
fund was received in May, 1896, and
consisted of q two-cent stamp, which
was inclosed in the following letter of
explanations: 4 once sent a letter in

curious coincidence the largest sum
ever contributed, reached the treasury
department about the same time that
the stamp was received. This was bill

CHINESE PREVENTIVE OF RABIES


Eating the Liver of the Dog Recon-
mended as a Cure for the Bite.
A French missionary in China wit
messed recently how two of his carriers
were bitten by q rabid dog and was very
much worried about it, says Modern
Medicine. Several Chinese who hap
pened to be there told him that his
worry was absolutely uncalled for, since
they had an undoubtedly safe proven
tive against the poison of rabid dog
taking effect, and to prove the assertion
five Cinnamon who had been bitten in
March of last year by n mad dog We're
presented to the missionary. He found
that Cinnamon eat of the raw liver OF
IL mad dog after being bitten, and if
they partake of this within n given time
after the accident, il is said they will nor
be subject to hydrophobia. tits curious
that Plinius in his natural history rec

if bitten, as raw as possible, and they
who could not swallow the liver raw
should have 1t cooked and drink the
broth therefrom. It is not positively
known whether this remedy is etlica-

She came to America when girl, and

scraped potatoes three times during the
voyage on the sailing packet that
brought her to this country. WheI.

went to live in Medford. Before the
war her husband moved to East Orring

lives. Though they were poor and had
much hard work, the yeast was never
allowed to die out or get stale. The

A DOG THAT CAN TEST METALS.
silver TIP Knows Good Money from
Bad, Every Time.

Bud, Every Time.
No bank teller in Iowa has truer
instinct for real, genuine cart-wheel
silver dollars than has Rock Rapids
dog called Silver Tip, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. Silver Tip is tan-colored
and weighs about ten pounds. All his
two years of life he has been the prop
eTty of Landlord Barber, of the Lyon
hotel, at Rock Rapids, but it is only
within the last year that his power of
immediate insight into the nature of
metals has become known to his owner.
The way Tip manifests his powers,
as his owner puts it, is as follows: If
one takes pile of coins the size of an
American dOllar-Say a trade dollar n
Mexican dollar, five-franc piece and
some counterfeit dollars-and puts on1
genuine dollar piece in the center Of
the pile, Tip will rummage around
snatch the good coin and proceed to
take care of it in approved dog fashion
to an accompaniment of growls and
bites. Or if one rolls a coin along TIL
floor Tip can tel every time whether
it is good stuff to he chased
Tip never makes mistake, and there
isn't bit of doubt about his powers.
He has been tested by Chicago bust
ness men and by committees of Iowa
scientists. He gets no human help in
his work. The good coin is not marked
in any peculiar way for his benefit
nor is it scented. Anyone can use hi
own coin in the experiment. Nor docs
Tips powers depend on signs from his
master. The latter leaves the room
itv in the least.
Mr. BARRIER has refused all offers for
the purchase of Tip.
