TAKES STRAY CUR TO FARM.
Bill Saunders, of keytesvilIe, Mo-,
Finds Friend on the Streets
of Chicago.

He said he was from Keytesville,
jeans, the trousers of which looked as
if they had been made for grain sacks
and then turned into the more useful
article of apparel by ripping open
the ends and running seam down
the front and rear. His hat was of
the SLOUGH variety and fell SO far
down over his eyes that he was COM
PEELED frequently to give it an up
ward toss so he could see. His shoes
were heavy and struck the pavement
with the heavy click produced by hard
sole-leather. In one hand he carried
an old-fashioned carpet-bag. Gath
cred up in the other arm and held
comfortably was a strengthening
brown cur, a cross between bulldog
and pointer.
The man was bound for the Dear
born street station when policeman
stopped him with a query regarding
the future life of the dog. The coun-
tryman responded promptly that the
animal met the requirements of his
farm and he thought the citizens of
Chicago would not miss one lone dog
that seemed homeless The officer
said he guessed that was about right
and Bill Saunders continued his way
rejoicing in the fact that he was TAX
ing home more than he had brought
to the city, if his purse was lighter.

THE QUEENS IRISH GUARDS.
1T VIII Not Be the First Regi-
ment of the Kind Organized
in Great Britain.

The new regiment Of foot guards,
which Queen Victoria has orderedto be
formed. will not be the first of Irish
nationality, says the New York Sun.
Two years after his rest Grafton to the
throne Charles II. formed a corps of
household troops which he called Our
Regiment of Guards in the Kingdom Of
Ireland. This corps, had it survived,
would have ranked as the Fourth regi-
ment of foot guards. 1t was originally
raised in England and does not seem
at first to have been composed of Irish
men, but in the days of James IL. it be-
came much too Irish to remain in the
British service. Tyrconnell caShiered
the Protestants in its ranks and filled
their places with Roman Catholics, so
that in the revolution the regiment
gave it's adhesion to James IL. and
fought for him against William III. at
the Boyne and at Aughrim. After the
capitulation of Limerick what re-
manned of it went into the French serv-
ice, and in the wars in Flanders carried
on by William III. and Marlborough it
more than once fought against British
troops. At Malplaquet it crossed
bayonets with the regiment which
alone of the Irish corps raised by the
Stuarts had passed over to King Will
liam, and, formerly numbered the
Eighteenth regiment of the line, is
now known as the Royal Irish.

Successful Experiment with Kite
and Search Light, at BayOnne,
New Jersey.

A system of night signaling with
flags held up by kites and lighted by
suspended search-ight was tried
some time ago at Bayonne, n j.,
says Electricity.
The searchlight was of about 100
candle power, and was suspended
within few feet of the flags. The
light was sent up at a quarter to
seven o'clock, hung two feet below the
flags, each of which was two feet
square. Both light and flags were
supported by one nine-loot and one
seven-foot kite. The flags were fas-
tened to the kite cable by perpendicu-
lar stats. To light the flags the
search-light was rigidly braced on
the kite cable in such a position that
it pointed straight skyward. AS the
kites carried the cable upward, the
glare of the fiery pencil passed be-
meath the flying kites and upward into
space. The rapid futtering of the
flags caused the effect of a stream
of blue. white and red fire, extending
10 or y feet beyond the search-light
reflector.
This invention will probably not
only be used in signaling in time of
war, but will produce effects of great
beauty in night carnivals.

THE "TRUE" NEGRO.
The Type from Guinea Is the Most
Distinctly Characterized of All
the Blacks.

Coming to the diversities of the stock
among the pure Africans, we may first
note the type which, in the rough judg
ment of the public, is the real or Guinea
negro. That he is so taken is doubt
less because he is the most distinctly
characterized of all black people, says
Prof. n. S. Shaler, in Popular Science
Monthly. The men of this well-known
group are generally burly fellows,
attaining at a relatively early age a
massive trunk and strong thighs; they
have thick necks and small though
variedly shaped heads. The bridge
of the nose is low. and the jaws pro-
truding. The face, though distinctly
of low type, very often has very
charming Expression in which the
human look is blended with a remnant
of the ancient animal who had not yet
come to the careful stage of life. The
women Of this group are well made,
but commonly less so than the men.
In general form the two sexes of the
group are much alike, feature which
also indicates an essentially low sta
ton. These people of the Guinea type
form perhaps one-half of the southern
NEGROES

BRASS RINGS ARE JEWELRY.
The Circumstances Under Which
Uncle Sans Revenue Officers
So Decide.

Though Uncle Sam has just decided
that brass finger rings constitute
'jewelry,' the old fellow, of course,
doesn't expect that all of his coun-
trymen will accept this classification
for all purposes, says the New York
Press. He meant to say only that
when these articles are imported they
are to be assessed for duty as jewelry
and not as toys. These rings are COM
posed of brass, in imita ton of gold,
and are set with various forms of
colored glass in imitation of precious
stones. They are of sizes suitable to
be worn by children and also by
'some ADULTS The importers con-
tended that they were intended to be
sold chiefly by confectioners and
others in prize packages and that
they were designed for the use and
amusement of children as toys But
the board of general appraisers in
New York has decided that they be-
long to the class of articles common
~ known as jewelry. The same de-
cision applies to necklaces of glass
beads, to brass chains intended for
watch guards or neck chains and to
hairpins of gilded metal, set with
colored glass. Therefore, as jewelry
these articles must pay a duty of 60
per cent. adj valorem. instead of a
lower duty as toys.

FIRE IN MANS VEST POCKET.
mbinatfOn of Potash LOZenges
and Safety Matches Starts
Blaze.

An English family doctor tells this
story: Il was hastily summoned one
morning to the offices of well-known
city merchant. He had been quietly
writing at his desk, when to his amaze
ment and alarm he found his waist
coat blazing furiously. Although he
dashed it off in an instant he had been
burned severely, and when [ arrived
and had treated his injuries we were
both of US much puzzled to find a cause
for the sudden outburst. But investi-
cation showed that he was in the habit
of carrying loosely in his watch pocket
two or three of the tiny potash lozenges
which SO many people find useful for a
sore throat. Among these he had
thoughtlessly thrust a box of safety
matches, the covering of which forms
with potash a chemical combination
which the slightest friction will set
into blaze.
Unfortunately, too, his gold watch
was protected by one of the common
cases of transparent celluloid, which is
nothing but form of highly explosive
guncotton, so that in fact he had in
nocently formed in his waistcoat peck
ct one of the most dangerous and pow
erful powder magazines known to sci
ence."

Chinese Honor to anAmeriean.

The United States legation at Picking,
China, has sent to the Essex institute of
Massachusetts an attested copy of the
Imperial edict making a Gemigod of
Gen. Frederick Townsend Ward, of
Salem, who was killed in the service OF
China. Gen. Ward was the creator of
he Chinese army, afterward command
ed by "Chinese" Gordon. The docu-
ment referred to is authenticated with
The seals of the Chinese and American
governments and is believed to be the
only copy in the original Chinese to
De found in this country, as the state

The day Queen Victoria entered Dub

visitors was so great that it was i'm

PHOTOGRAPHIC ON MARBLE.
Process, Recently Perfected, Which
Is Said 10 Give Fine
Results.

The following process for making
Photographic impressions upon marble
has recently appeared and is said to
give very fine results, says the Scien-
tific American. The surface of the
marble is we'll smoothed but not pol
ished. Upon this is spread layer of
the following mixture: Benzine, 500
grammes; turpentine, 500 grammes;
bitumen, so 9rammes; beeswax,
grammes. This layer is allowed to
dry, and the gelatine surface of the
Photographic plate is then applied and
an exposure of 20 minutes made by
sunlight. After removing the plate,
wash with gasoline, which takes off
that part Of the Yarnish which has not
been acted upon by the light, and the
image gradually appears. The action
of the gasoline is stepped at the desired
point by washing in a stream of wa
ter. The surface thus prepared is
plunged into an alcoholic solution of
Prussian blue. eosine red. etc. When
the color has penetrated by capillary
action. the layer of varnish is taken off
and the surface of the marble finely
polished. In this way a permanent
image of fine color and great depth is
obtained.
