An E.eh.nr. of Compliments.

In London art circles a story is be-
Ing told about famous French paint
or and an equally famous French ply
sdcian, says Tid-Bits. The painter is
. great lover OF dogs, and the other
day his favorite St. Bernard became
sick and speedily grew so weak that
his master determined to save his life
at any cost, sent for the famous physi-
clan, feeling confident that he could
cure him. When the physician arrived
and learned what was wanted OF him
he seemed at first literally petrified at
the thought that any one could have
the audacity to ask him to prescribe
for q dog, but he quickly recovered his
oomposure and examined the animal
~ carefully as though he were a hu-
man patient. Then he prescribed a
medicine, and. taking his hat. was
about to go away. when the painter
approached and politely asked him
what his fee was. The physician re-
piled blandly that he did not care tc
charge anything for such trifiine
service. but as the painter insisted he
said quietly: well, II you are deter
mined to remunerate me. I will tel
you how you can easily do me favor

%PIN.MAKING INDUSTRY.

One by one the secrets of the census
of 1900 are being unveiled. Many in.
.teresting statistics are now seeing thu
light of day, especially in trades and
industries which have hitherto receiv-
ed but little attention. A recent bulle,
tin gives some very interesting facts
with reference to the ~pin-making in.
dustry-an industry which Is small in
one way but immense in another. Nc
less than nine-billions of these useful
little articles were manufactured and
used during the year 1900. which
means an average of 1870 pins to every
man, woman and child in the nation
The censu agent found forty three
factories employing 1850 people. or
the manufactured product GA per cent
came from Connecticut. and the re-
mainder was divided over the rest of
the country. The chief mystery, how
ever, will continue to be what becomes
of these nine billions of pins that are
manufactured year in and year out in
this country. ,.-,
