}& The New York Evening Post, the
foremost organ of combined plutocracy.
says that the output of new trusts and
bonds last year was upward of $1,000
100000; that for the first two months
of 1899 the output was 81 ,106,3O0,ooo
that the indications are that the total
output for this year will be six times
as great as it was last year-upward
of $4,000, 600, 900. The Post further
mere cites as a typical illustration Of
the rapid growth of the monopoly and
the rapid decline of individual enter

incapable party deadheads. In five
years, from 1882 to 1887, under the

printing cost $555,149.s4, while in five
years from 1892 to 1897, with govern

was not remarkable and he passed on,
On the third morning. seeing the

Years and years ago, more years
than you can count. perhaps. the dogs
were all wild. like their cousins, the
wolves. and had 10 beat out hole
In the grass or the snow before they
could lie down. And the dogs have
done the same way ever since. They
had to keep their Hoses clean. too. so
they could smell the rabbits and other
animals they ate. long Ways OF. so
they never let their noses touch the
ground, going to sleep with their noses
resting on their paws. And they have
done that ever since.
The eat Is always washing herself
and Is known to be the cleanest of all
the animals. Well, away back long

little animals she waited patiently for

The Term a Misnomer Now, For
Squirrels Furnish the Hnir.
The cameps hair brush used by art
lists has nothing of bactria in It. There
was q time when real camers hair was
used for this purpose. The ship OF
the desert, however, has long been SUI
perseded by the comedy squirrel. Not
only is squirrels hair very much less
costly, but 1t 10 better, softer, more
pliable and more durable. At the pres
ent day 1t is doubtful IL you could find
a bushel of camel's hair In all the
brush factories in the land. However,
there is no cause for fear that the
graceful little squirrel will be extermi-
mated. 1t Is the European squirrel that
furnishes the Jlair for the brushes, the
covering of the American squirrel be-
ing too furry and soft for the purpose.
1t is somewhat the same way with
the coarser brushes. The bristles most
priced come from Russia and Indin,
and the wild hogs Of Germany furnish
their quota. The great American hog
runs to fat and puts forth practically
no bristles In the countries above
mentioned the collecting of bristles is
quite an important industry among the
peasantry Of certain districts. In com
paratively few cases are they strip
ped from the dead body of the hog.
The usual method Is to discover the
haunts of the animals and to gather
the bristles from the trees against
which they rub themselyes.-New

Can you explain a curious thing

There is another little cat
Who sits behind a frame,
And looks SO very much like me
You'd think we We're the same.
l try to make her play with me,
Yet when | new and call,
Though see her new in answer,
She makes no sound at all,
And to the dullest kitten
It's plain enough to see
That either am mocking her,
Or she is mocking me.
1t makes no difference what | play,
She seems to know the game
For every time | look around
| see her do the same.
And yet no matter though l creep
On tiptoe lest she hear, a
Or quickly dash behind the frame,
She's sure to disappear.

A Novel Burglar Alarm.

OF Richtield Spa, New York, which
seems to promise efficiency without be-
Ing In the least obtrusive. 1t takes the
form of an elastic mating, which can
be placed beneath carpet or door-mat
without attracting any more notice
than the thick felt or paper which Is
usually placed in such situations. Its
construction is such that pressure in
any part viii bring metallic connec-
tons into contact, and bell will there

1t is certain that pieces OF this mating
placed beneath the carpet near win
