SANITARY HAIR-BRUsIu

The ordinary hair brush is so diff
cult to clean that it is often neglected
until it becomes sort of paradise for
disease germs, and finally reaches the
stage where it must be cleaned or
thrown away. In the illustration is
shown brush recently designed by
Robert J. Montgomery, of Illinois,
which should recommend itself on
sight for cleanliness and ease with
which the parts may be separated for
washing. The bristles are attached to
a skeleton or open-work frame, which
is hinged at the outer end of the back,
the handle being provided with a
spring catch to hold the frame while
in use. The interior of the back is
concave in shape, better to receive the
siftings which fall through the frame
from the bristles. In the ordinary
brush the dirt always accumulates at

According to the London Vanity
Fair,a celebrated surgeon met a young,
officer in Piccadilly the other day, and
greeted him with surprise: "Well,
am pleased to see you! am sur.
prised! Do you know have q Por-
ton Of your brain in a jar at homer
"Ah, WELL" laughed the other, II can
easily spare that; have got berth

Replying to his opponents remark
that 1.-THE Beers are unwashed and
Semi-barbarous." Professor Joseph
Johnson, in recent public debate in
Philadelphia regarding the South At
rican war, retorted, solemnly: 1T is
true that the Beers are not cleanly OF
person, but the English have driven
them first from Cape Colony, and
then from Natal, to the desolate up
lands beyond the Vaal where there is
no water; and how, therefore, can
you expect them to wash?"
Some days ago swarm of bees en-
tered roadside letter-box near Null
lingar, in Ireland. A number of let
tiers were in the box, and the post
master-general offered reward of
two shillings (fifty cents) to any per-
son dislodging the bees. This tempt
ing offer resulted in the sending of a
singing letter from the owner of the
swarm, who threatened, If the bees
were injured, to take legal proceed
ings against Lord Lond onderry, as his
offer to remove the intruders was
rendered fruitless by the refusal of
the postot1ce authorities to allow the
door of the letter-box to be opened.
It is said that not long ago Rear
Admiral Robley Evans entered fash
ionable house of worship in New
York and took a seat far forward.
He was well but not very expensively
dressed. Soon after the admiral had
seated himself, man and his wife
entered. He looked uneasy, and pull
ing out his card wrote on it: do you
know I pay fifteen hundred dollars a
year for this pew" Not to be out
done in courtesy, Admiral Evans took
one of his own cards, and above his
name, which necessarily gave his
naval rank, wrote in reply: well,

rrBHER AND GUrTA-PERCHA.

Mr.. Berkhout, formerly forester in
tbe Dutch East Indies, recently gave
some facts not generally known con-
corning these two products, which are
often confused. The quality of elias
Iticity distinguishes india-rubber from
gutta -percha. The latter is derived
from one plant only, while india-rub-
her is produced from more than 60
plants. Three-fourths of the gutta-
percha Of commerce comes from STU
matra and Borneo. Of the total an
nual production Of india-rubber, esti-
mated at about 100000 pounds,
nearly two-thirds comes from the
Amazon Valley. about one-third from
Central Africa, and one-twentieth from
Asia. The total production of gutta-
percha is about one-twentieth as great
as that of india-rubber The gutta-
Dercha tree is cultivated with difficulty,
Ind the natives of the countries where
It grows cut it down to get its valu-
hble sap.

Some Of the naval cadets who are
aboard the Alabama, and are having
their first real cruise off the Atlantic
coast, recently got a lesson in
promptness that they will not soon
forget. They went ashore with the
captain, and were told that the boat
would return at certain time. Five
minutes before that time they ap-
peared at the head of the long pier,
sauntering slowly toward where the
captain stood waiting for them. Ex-
actly on the dot of the appointed time
he gave the order to shove off, and
the boat started, leaving five aston
ished cadets on the pier not forty feet
away. When they had got pull boat
and rowed out to the ship, three
miles or more, they were told by the
captain that it was not polite to keep
their superior officers waiting, or to
approach him as if they were going

The Air From the Lungs.

Much has been said about a poison
ots alkaloid in air from the lungs.
After careful investigation, Herr E.
Formanek finds that no poisonous SUBJ
stance exists in the breath of a healthy
man or animal, but that the expired
air may contain traces of ammonia in
cases of dental carries or pulmonary
complaints. It is this ammonia-not a
special alkaloid of terrifying virulence
that has been collected from expired
air.

of an investigation of records extend

Heavy Cut in SUGAR.

New York, Oct. 3.--A drastic cut in
sugar prices was announced Tuesday
by the American Sugar Refining COM
pany. Its action was Immediately fol-
lowed by the National Sugar Refining
Comany, and 1t was stated that all the
sugar refiners will have to follow suit.
The reduction announced amounts to
fifteen points. and brings the price for
standard granulated down to ass cents
a pound. The cut affects all classes of
sugar from the grannlated to the col
ored and soft sugars.
Sugar brokers stated last night that
the cut had been expected by the trade.
All the big refiners in this city an
nounced a short time ago that the price
guarantees which We're usually ex-
tended to customers would expire Oct.
i. and this announcement was generally
Interpreted to mean that cuts would be
made from time to time. with occasional
advances according to the conditions of
the trade.
There were many sugar brokers Who
stated after the cut had been announced
that the condition OF the sugar trade
was very much the same as the copper
situation. The refiners are carrying
practically all the surplus supplies of
the country and the wholesale grocers
and sugar brokers are destitute of all
grades. This state OF affairs was
brought about by the falling off in de-
mand as "a result of a poor canning sea-
son.
