81 have a dead sure case against my
milkman," said 4 prominent railroad
official a day or $50 ago. He waters
his milk and 1 have, or rather my wife
has, caught him dead to rights The
other day when we got our usua, Guam
tity of milk my wife was going to pour
some from the can into glass. She
heard something nit the glass with 9
kind of dull thud and could see some
thing dark in the bottom of the glass.
Pouring it carefully out into another
vessel, what do you suppose she found?
A live crawfish, by Jove. A big, lusty
fellow, who seemed just as happy and
contented as though he were working
on an embryo crevasse in a levce. Now,
do you mean to tell me that my milk
man did not pour water into the milk?
He put a great deal in it, too. The fact
probably is that he dipped big bucket
full of water up and put it in the milk.
His crawfishship got in the can that
way."-N. o. Times-Democrat.

BRlSTLES FROM ABROAD.
Hog Not Capable OF Fur
nishing the supply Needed Here.

American Hog Not Capable OF Fur
nishinG the supply Needed Here.
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 bris-
ties is now even smaller than it for
merly was. Hogs are fattened and
killed young in this country. and with
the constant and widespread improve
ment of the breeds here the hogs have
run less to bristles. Some extensive
packers collect bristles, but the Ameri-
can supply is probably less than one
per cent. of the consumption. The
longest American bristles are about
~ 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 OtileF
animals do, and there are men who
gather the bristles of wild hogs, know
ing their haunts and where the bristles
are to be found Other bristles are col
lected in the usual manner when the
hogs are killed. The bristles are sub
iected to various processes of curing
and preparation before they become
commercial bristles and ready for the
market.
Imported bristles range from 31a to
71a inches in length. Various vegetable
fbers are now used extensively in the
manufacture of cheaper brushes, but
for many uses bristles are indispens'
able and their importation continues

Arctic Game.

The rabbit supply is now reinforced
by hundreds of thousands of frozen rab-
bits from Australia, and the price of
home-bred rabbits has fallen in conse-
quence. In spite of the murderous de
struction of sub-arctic game, the re-
gions from which it comes are so huge
and the facilities for catching it, for
freezing it and transporting it by
sledge so great, that we may expect the
supply to be larger each year rather
than less. 1t seems incredible, but it is
true, that Russian game can be brought
from st. Petersburg to Lead

rate per ton than Surrey fowls
can be brought from Horsham to Lon

tap another enormous game area, and
the supply from the two eXtremes-the

uninhabited forests of the sub-arctic
continent-will continue to stock our
markets. Frozen pheasants and other

The alcohol habit, which has become
so prevalent in civilized countries, and
which has blghted almost every nation
Of savage or primitive people that has
been brought in contact with civiliZa-
ton, is by no means the only poison
habit against which the medical pro-
fession should earnestly raise its voice.

producing an artificial felicity is quick
Iy seized upon and made the means of
new poison habit. This is not the
effect of natural and physiological
craving in the human constitution, but
of an unnatural and artificial appetite
which is in large part, the result of
the artificial conditions of life which
prevail among civilized people.
Through habit and heredity, the use of
one ueryc-ticllling or obtunding drug
creates a demand for another, and so
the evil grows.
A recent number of the MedicO, a
French periodical, gives an account of
q new form of intoXication which is
becoming fashionable among the ladies'
of Paris This new mode of dissipation
consists i'm the inhalation of the fumes
of uaphtha. The intoXication produced
by this drug is similar to that induced

A MONGREL AIR MOTOR.
Ihe New COmpressed Air Car Has
Reached Warrington.

The new air motor that is to be run over
the lexington railroad arrived yesterday,
and was at once put on a trial run. 1t
was not an unqualified success. 1t was
first charged at the power house in Eek
ington and then taken up the road to the
north, where there is little or no habita-
ton, and the doings of the car could be
practically free from all observation. The
car, 1t is stated. ran well enough for a
distance and then stranded on the hill that
leads to the Catholic University gate. IL
refused to make the trip to Brookland,
and had to be towed back to the power
house by one of the trolley cars.
This new motor Is described by one who
has seen IL to be sort of compromise be-
tween the Hoadley motor, such as has been
in use here for the past three months and
the Hardie motor. which has been undergo
ing tests in New York. 1t carries twenty
eight bottles of air cylinders instead of
thirty-six, the number forming the equip
ment of the Hoadley. 1t has some differ
ences in mechanism, and has in place OF the
fire pot to heat the air as 1t is used a stor-
age boiler filled with super-heated water.
This is one of the distinctive features OF
the Hardie car
The new motor is accommodated by a
jBroadway car body.
