REVIEWS
 FROM Our Exchanges
ENDANGERING THE CROWDS.
(Hartford Post

(Hartford Post.)
 A great deal of criticism is made of the impertinent manner in whicE autorn obilists forged their machines through the crowds watching the elections returns Tuesday night. There was in many instances little regard for the manner in which the lives and limbs of people in the street were jeopardized The only interest 7eemed to be to get the machine through the crowd at any cost. The arrogant footing of the autom obile horn and the steady pushing of the ~nachine through crowds at congested Joints were enough to stir up the re- sentiment of the most tolerant. That serious accident did not happen is more good fortune than anything else. Quite naturally it was desfra ble for automobilists to see the returns, but it was far more Important that they keep their machines away from the zone of the bulletin boards. That was precaution that was extremely necessary.

We Import Them From All Over the
World and Also Export Them.
An item that seemed odd In the mani
fest OF a steamer lately arrived from
japanese and Chinese ports was this
in the list of her cargo from Tientsin
Fifty-6ve cases of horse tails.
AS matter of fact. horse tails OF
the hair thereof are n common article
of importation into this country from
China and from pretty much every
other country on earth. The American
market gets large quantities of them
from China, but more from Russia,
and horse tails are imported here from
every other European country and
from South America, from Australia,
from all round the world. On the 9th.
er hand. there are more or less Ameri-
can horse tails exported.
From various causes the supply OF
horse tails, like that of anything else,
may in one country and another vary
from year to year, and there may be
years when the worlds supply is short
and years when it is plentiful, with
corresponding changes in the range of
prices. Horse tails have sold as low
as 20 cents pound, and they have sold
for as much as 50. If stocks are scarce
and high in London and ample at low
er prices here New York importers ship
horse tails to London. In the contrary
circumstances London importers might
ship horse tails here.
Horsetail hairs are sorted for length
and colors, and they are used either
alone or mixed with other fibers in the
manufacture of various sorts of brush
es and mixed with other materials in
the manufacture of haircloth. - New

A VERSE FOR THE BEGGAR.
Victor Huso's Response to the Old
Blind Soldiers Appeal.

A Frenchman, writing recently upon
"The Mendicants of Paris" recalls a
pretty anecdote Of Victor Hugo and a
blind beggar. The beggar was an old
soldier, very feeble and quite sight
less, who was led every day by his
little granddaughter to a certain street
corner, where he waited patiently for
such scanty arms as the hurrying pub
lie might drop into a small box that
hung from his neck.
One day group of gentlemen halted
near him, chatting, and he heard the
name by which they called the one
who fingered longest. Reaching for
ward as he, too, was about to go. he
caught him by the coat.
"What do you want my good MANI"
asked the gentleman. 81 have already
given you = SOUS"
Eyes, monsieur, and have thanked
you," replied the veteran. ut is some
thing else that l want"
"What is it?'
Oversees"
"You shall have Them" said the gen
tleman, and he kept his word. The
next day the blind soldier bore on his
breast a placard with stanza to
which was appended the name of Vic
tor Hugo, and the aims in the box
were quintupled. The lines may be
thus translated:
Like Belisarius and like Homer blind.
Led by young child on his pathway
dim,
The hand that aids his need, plying and
kind

The First Quarantine.

From all accounts the custom of
quarantine originated in Venice some
where about the beginning OF the
twelfth century. All merchants and
others coming from the eastern cOun-
tries were obliged to remain in the
house of st. Lazarus for a period of
forty days before they were admitted
into the city. Taking the idea from
Venice. other European cities, espe-
cially port towns, instituted quaran-
tine during seasons of plague, and well
down into modern times most nations
adopted the system, applying it when
II was deemed necessary.
