Bristles From Abroad.

Almost all the bristles used in This
country in the manufacture of brushes
are imported, and Notwithstanding the
increased production of pork in this
country the supply of American bristles
is now even smaller than it formerly
was. Hogs are fattened and killed young
in this country, and with the constant
and widespread Improvement of the
breeds here the hogs have run less to
bristles. Some extensive packers collect
bristles, but the American supply is
probably less than per cent of the con-
sumption. The longest American bris-
ties are about A y inches in length.
Imported bristles come from various
parts of Russia, but most largely from
Poland and north Germany. Some finer,
soft bristles come from France. The bulk
of the supply comes from cold countries,
where the hogs are well protected by
thick coats, and many of the bristles
are those of wild hogs. The hogs shed
their coats as many other animals do,
and there are men who gather the bris-
ties of wild hogs, knowing their haunts
and where the bristles are to be found.
Other bristles are collected in the usual
manner when the hogs are killed. The
bristles are subjected to various proc
esses of curing and preparation before
they become commercial bristles and
ready for the market.
Imported bristles range from 81 to
~ inches in length. Various vegetable
fibers are now used extensively in the
manufacture of cheaper brushes, but
for many uses bristles are indispensable
and their importation continues steady.

The Consumption of Bread.

We have been so accustomed to re-
gard bread as the staff of life, the one
essential food, that it is rather astonish-
ing to be assured, as the statisticians
are beginning to assure us, that it is
going out of use as an article of con-
sumption. Certainly the figures seem to
bear out that assurance. The shrinkage
of the worlds wheat area, taken in con-
nection with the increase of population,
the increase in grazing area, and the
enormous and varied supply of fruits
and vegetables as compared with what
used to be available, all point in the
same direction. We eat less bread and
more meat and fruit, a fact that, we
fancy, most people will verify in the
limited field of personal observation. -

A Matter of Spelling.

Tt is one of the curious facts that
many of the brightest writers spell
atrociously. That in itself goes long
way in the practical demonstration that
illiteracy does not connect itself with
the art of spelling An excellent article
that recently passed through editorship
in this Office contained the words Evil
liage," "Chineese, "prarie," "par-
alell, Failure" Portuguese" and
"loose" for ''lose" 1t was an admirable
paper of choice literary quality, and
yet had it been printed as it was writ
ten the proofreader would have been
open to summary discharge for obvious
aud hopeless incompetence.
That humble minister would have
been declared too illiterate to read proof.
Going backward one step, the copy
reader that let such manuscript pass
without alteration would also be open
to discharge. Why? For illiteracy. And
yet the literary quality of the illiterate-
ly written article was fine and evident.
People are very sensitive about their
looks and their spelling. Next in gray
ity to the charge Of being homely is the
charge of being unable to spell. That
seems to carry with it sort of proof
that bad spelling is discreditable. And
yet the people whom the charge most
hurts are those of whom it is truest. To
be able to write without being able to
spell is like being able to run without
being able to walk. Those who do it
are wonder to those who look OH

Fits or Swords.

Boxing, though better appreciated
now, was not so popular in the north
Of England and Scotland as in the
are either better hammered or less ag-
gressive, but probably because the sci
ence was less understood. Sir Walter
Scott's touching tale of the 1.-TWO Drov-
ers'' is good illustration of this diff
ference of feeling ON the subject, and as
long ago as 1890 book was written by
a highland officer with the following
curious title: "Antipugilism, or the
science of defense exemplified in short
and easy lessons, for the practice of the
broadsword and single stick, whereby
gentlemen may become proficient in the
use of the weapons, without the help Of
master, and be enabled to chastise
the insolence and temerity so frequently
met with from those fashionable gentle
men, the Johnsonians, Big Bennians and
Mendozians of the present day, work
perhaps better calculated to extirpate
this reigning and brutal folly than a
whole volume of sermons.
1t was precisely this feeling which
poor Robin dig, Sir Walters hero, ex-
pressed when his friend Harry Wake

round or two and be friends. ITO be

Begging and Religion.

Before London police justice pro-
fessional beggar told an interesting story
of his methods. He admitted haunting
the neighborhoods where religious
meetings were held, and he appealed to
women coming from these meetings
with the quotations: "The Lord loveth
a cheerful giver - "Those who give to
the poor lend to the Lord. " 1.-The birds
of the air have nests, the foxes have
holes, but, like the Son of Man, have
nowhere to lay my head" The prison
er said that he found this method very
effective, especially in the winter
months, when women wore thick gloves
and could not tell the difference be-
tween a penny and half crown.

A Hasty Introduction.

about on sea voyage that by steamer

There was another passenger-a
tourist like myself-and the captain
made several desperate efforts TO get us
acquainted, he knowing us both, but at
each attempt before he could pronounce
our names he was eitl - called on deck
or the ship gave a lur~ and the intro
duction did not take place.
But one day, when it was so rough
outside that we staid in our hunks in
the captain cabin and the wind was
blowing great guns, the skipper who
had come below for something, stopped
to say:
You two gentlemen ought to be
made acquainted. Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Brown; Mr. Brown, Mr. Smith.
THAT is the down east method of in
Producing people, and as our names
were mentioned we each turned in our
hunks to salute the other, the hunks be-
ing on exactly opposite sides of the
cabin.

flew past:

When brother in the church wants
TO marry sister, he does not make his
wish known directly TO her, but goes to
the minister and tells him his secret.
The minister, if pleased with the match,
carries the lovers message. The sister
is usually surprised. as this is supposed
TO be her first intimation of the young
mans love If the proposal is received
with favor, the negotiations are carried
on by the minister. The ceremony al
ways takes place i'll church. No in
vitations are issued, but the banns are
proclaimed from the pulpit two weeks
beforehand. During this period the
groom is permitted to visit his intended
without the intervention Of a third
party. After the wedding dinner is
always served, after which bride and
groom go to their respective homes and
remain apart for several days. The
marriages in the church are generally
happy ones, and there is no record OF
any of the members ever suing for dl-
vorce. -Philadelphi Record.

Forgeries.

This method of detecting forgeries
has been devised by Professor M. Bruy-
lauts, professor of chemistry in the Uni
versity of Louvain. The portion OF q
document which is suspected of having
been altered is first moistened, and
then, after being dried, is exposed to
the action of vapor of iodine The por-
ton thus moistened, if it has been al
tered, assumes "a violet tint, while the
other portion appears l. Iwnish yell
