ART IN THE SHAVING MUG.
The False Economics of Trying to
Use One Article in Too Many ways.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Out in one of Clevelands eastern sub
urbs lives an ancient dame of Pennsyi-
yania Dutch persuasion. In addition to
this she is an acknowledged master of the
art of housekeeping, and the evidences of
her neatness are worth going miles on a
suburban car to inspect.
Some .irne ago she determined to paint
the woodwork in her kitchen. She didn
want a man missing around, and so she
determined to WELD the brush herself. She
went so far as to purchase quart can OF
ready-mixed paint of light blue tint. This
she took home and laid aside TO await a
favorable opportunity. When the opportu-
city finally came one cool June afternoon
she had no brush. But time was precious,
the nearest brush store was a long distance
away, and necessity is the mother of expe-
dents.
She went upstairs and came back with
her husbands lather brush.
Then the can was cut open and she spread
on the blue mixture in a great hurry. The
brush from the shaving mug didn't hold
much at a time, but with frequent dipping
1t worked fairly well. But when 1t came
to portions OF the job where she had to
reach high she presently found that almost
as much paint ran down her hand and wrist
and arm as went on the wall. But finally
the job was completed
In hurried way she washed out the
brush and replaced 1t. and then set about
preparing the evening meal. Her liege lord
returned from his daily toll presently, but

SOUTHERN RLOODHOUNDS.
Some Remarkable Instances of Thef

Some Remarkable Instances of Their
Sagacity.
Columbia Is. c. Cores st. Louis Globe Democrat.
1t was recently reported that Governor
Tyler of Virginia was entertained on
visit to a convict camp by a man hunt with
bloodhounds, the man being given an hours
start and plenty Of time to climb a tree.
Such exhibitions are quite common on the
South Carolina state farms, where blood
hounds are kept. The same kind Of ami
mails are kept by the sheriffs of many
counties In this state. and they always do
well on such show occasions, but have
never been known to run down criminal!
Il very much doubt" said an old slave
owner. whether there Is a genuine blood
hound in the south or one with the nose
Of the old runaway slave catcher In the
country. Any breed of dogs that run by
scent can be trained from puppies to run
hounds take to this quite naturally and If
crossed with half or quarter fox terrier
they become vicious and persistent in the
chase But these are not bloodhounds nor
should those now owned by the state or
counties in South Carolina be so classed
THE bloodhound In his perfection of
nose and his ferocity was the product of
the institution of slavery. The finest
beasts. tawny or black with white points
and so fierce that when not in service they
were chained and only tneir master could
feed or touch them. If they escaped they
chased the first person they saw and their
desire was to eat his flesh.
Many Of the dogs were imported to the
south by the men who made their living
catching runaway slaves. They were
crossed on the deer hound and the product
was a good man hunter-ferce enough. but
not SO dangerous as the Cuban. Several
packs of such dogs were owned in this state
and their presence in a county kept many

sought the shelter Of the forest where. I'M

for years. paying weekly or monthly visits
to the negro settlements.

not run a man IL the trail Is over three
hours old. IL 1t goes In water or Is crossed
by other trails. The slave catcher's
hounds bred for their cold nose for more
than a century could carry trail thirty

used to be given for the name of this spe-
cies of dog was that IL drop Of blood fell
on the track he would never leave II. They
were like wolves in that they hunted for
meat and were eager to devour man run
to n tree or cornered. There are many au-
tkenticated stories showing the remarkable
qualities of scent and sagacity. 1t was
practically impossible to battle an old dog
and when his nose was once put by his
master in the foot prints of a man the par
ticular scent of that person was the only
one he would entertain In his nostrils, and
that track he would pick out Of hundred.

MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCE.
An Opening That Might He Filled to
Advantage.

Tomatoes and cant.eloGpes are gradually
becoming popular in Europe. In a report
to the State Department this subject,
Vice Consul General Hanauer at Frank
fort. Germany, says:
English statistics show that of late there
has been a large and rapidly growing i'm
portation of tomatoes, the Canary Islands
furnishing the supply. which importation
amounted to 1888 tons during the first
half Of this year. The wholesale price Of
this quantity about 81 Goa. 600 Toma-
toes We're but a short time ago an article
of luxury in Great Britain only used for
the pampered palates CT the rich: but now
they have become common dish on the
tables of the working classes. In Germany
fresh tomatoes sold a. high prices Vj
to IA cents a pound according to season. ;;
they are chiefly used to flavor meats, not
stewed. Only the best hotels and the
wealthy buy fresh tomatoes. which are
supplied to Germany mainly by southern
France. Canned tomato pulp is to be found
at the grocers of large German cities, of
fered at lower price, comparatively. than
the fresh fruit.
'Cantaloupes are great delicacy-even
more SO than the pneappIe-in German
cities. They sell at to Il marks go cents
to $50, apiece, Weighing three to ten
pounds Some of these are brought from
Spain: others raised in German hot
houses. Considering that tomatoes have
been sold as low as SIS ton in Delaware
and New Jersey and that fine cantaloupes
can be bought in Philadelphia at l to 3
cents apiece, the question arises, Why don't
we export fresh vegetables To Europe? The

What a Sigh Means.

Signing Is but another name for oxygen
starvation. The cause of signing Is most
frequently worry. An interval OF several
seconds often follows moments of mental
disquietude during which time the chest
walls remain rigid until the imperious de-
mand is made for oxygen, thus causing
the deep Inhalation. 1t is the expiration
following the inspiration that Is properly
termed the sigh, and this sigh Is simply
an effort of the organism to obtain the
necessary supply of oxygen. The remedy
Is to cease worrying. One may be anxious,
but there Is no rational reason for worry
ing. little philosophy will Danish worry
at once Worry will do no good: 1t will
rob one of pleasures when blessings do
come. as one will not be in a condition to
enjoy them.

"LENGTH OF RESIDENCE"
How conscientious EnumeratOrs Fill
ed Out Their Returns.

Many humorous features were developed
in the taking of the census of 1900, not the
least Of which grew out of msunder-
standing by enumerators of the questions
they were to answer One Of these ques-
tons was indicated by the remark
length of residence which was expected
to show how long the people living in var-
Gus localities at the time of the census
had been there. When the reports came
in it was found that many of these queries
were answered in figures in this way:
20xl0 1ox30, &c. The enumerators had
gone around with a foot rule and had
measured the length of residences of the
people they counted. This is what is called
consistent error" that is, it occurs from
the beginning To the end of the reports Of
certain enumerators.
