Dyed Food and clothing.

While the use of coal tar chemicals
in our food is being gradually sup
pressed, th,sy are playing a more con-
spicuous role in the manufacture of
our apparel. 1t was toward the end
of the last decade that the Germans
began to make the artificial indigo
which has almost driven the natural
product from the market. more re-
cent discovery is that of red indigo
made by Prof. Friedlander in Vienna.
Chemically, this new substance is al
most identical with blue indigo; the
flrm that manufactures it has given
1t the name of theoindigorot (theion
being the Greek name for sulphur, one
of the ingredients). The most inter-
esting fact relating to It is that 1t has
been found to be identical with the
Tyrian purple of the ancients, which,
according to Pliny, the Phoenicians
made out of sea shell. This was so
expensive that it cost 5000. in modern
money to color one kilogram of wool.
To-day, the garments once monopo-
lized by Roman emperors are worn by
Austrian cavalrymen, and the German
army is preparing to make use of
theiondigorot in order to deepen the
color of certain uniforms. Women,
also, are already benefiting by the re-
discoverr of "Tyrian purple" The
red indigo is made in various shades
from deep pomegranate to the most
delicate colors to garments of diverse
material, including even calico.

New Works Sewers.
If the sewers of New York city were
placed end to end in straight line
they would reach from there to Pixies

The canine was picked up by the

is said that when the catcher's wagon
drove near to where he was standing
he ran to the whistle OF one OF the

cage was opened to him and another
whistle caused him to jump into the
wagon unassisted.

there was an air of refinement about
the brute which, despite his shaggy

gentle and as playful as n kitten and
when shown any kindness by the
pound men he would stand on his hind

II is interesting. and instructive as

its development six months ago are

Piled itself to the arts of pydcr in a

equally as great.
Just ROW Japan is working actively
to extend Its merchant marine, with
the evident purpose of making Its Hag
supreme in Oriental waters. In re-
cent report Consul General Rodgers OF
Shanghai. tells what has been done in
this direction. The Nippon Yusen
kaisha Japanese Steamship Com.
pany) acquired the splendid water
front formerly owned by the Pacific
Mall Steamship Company for frac-
ton Of its real value, and Is now doing
a tremendous business between the
Chinese city and Japanese ports. 1t is
semi-ofiicially announced that every
port touched by Pacific waters will
soon be reached by regular Japanese
steamship lines.
Meanwhile the ship-building compa-
nies of Japan are building new vessels

craft. and In every way preparing to
adapt everything they have afloat to

Old Cities Were Noisy.

Modern cities are not as noisy as
those of other days. For example, in
London. in the time OF King George
H.. the streets were still cobbled and
the pack horses OF Elizabethan mem.
ory had been replaced by heavy carts
and wagons. Barrels OF beer and
heavy cases were dragged about on
drays Of iron without wheels and to
add to the tumult heavy signs in i'm.
mense frames of ironwork hung out in
front OF shops and houses. and creaked
interminably. Street cries never
ceased for moment all day. All the
smaller necessaries, such as pins,
thread. string. Ink, straps, fish, milk,
cakes. bread. drugs. herbs. matches.
were hawlsed in the streets.

A Horse. Hands and Feet.

The horse never puts his heel on the
ground. nor even the ball OF his foot.
He stands up on the very tips Of his
toes. and this Is. in part. the reason
why he can trot so fast. Dobbins
heels are half way up his hind legs
and what we call his knees are really
his wrists. The part corresponding TO
the upper arm is short and Is so en-
bedded In the muscles OF the shoulder
that the elbow comes next the body.
but the horse has only one digit to
each limb. and the wrist bones, are
comparatively small. The so-called
ankle. then. is the knuckle. where the
digit Joins the hand or the foot. and
the foot is only n single thick
finger or toe. with great nail for a
hoof. The lower half Of the horses
foreleg is really n gigantic hand. with
only the middle finger and piece out
of the middle of the palm. while the
corresponding part of his hind leg Is a
big single toed foot.-St. Nicholas.
