‘ 11 V / / n—Ma ass THE AiKl RECORDER. Keen Hr.«nted Ittoodhounds. This connty, several months ago, pur chased a pack of young bloodhoutuht to be used iu tracking escaping criminals. The dogs were placed in charge of Pat Bergen, a fanner living near here, for training. They were quick to learn, being of unusual intelligence, and have developed a sagacity that is probably not equaled by any other pack in the south. A test of their scenting powers was given a few days ago in the presence of the board of county commissioners The dogs were fastened in their kennels and a man was started off from Mr. Bergen’s bouse. He skirted the fence, and’’reach ing the railroad track climbed upon a freight car, walked along the roof of that and other cars attached, coming* to the ground again at a distance of 200 yards. lie then took two long planks and walked along them, carrying each of them alternately and walking on the other, so that for a distance of 800 yards his feet nor hands never touched the ground. He then continued his course, carefully covering up his tracks in the dusty roadway by means of a stick for a distance of half a mile. He continued his coiAse for two more miles, using Tarious devices to destroy the trail, and finally took refuge in a tree. About three hours after the man had reached the tree the dogs were brought out As soon as they had caught the scent they started off on a run, finding their first difficulty at the railroad cars. They began to circle around in widening circles until the scent was picked up again at the point where the man had left the cars. The animals had bat little difficulty in following the trail from there to the tree, where they came to a standstill, bellowing savagely when they discovered the object of their search.— San Antonio Cor. Philadelphia Times. A Counting Chimpanzee. The zoological gardens have sustained a serious bereavement in the death of Sally, the black faced chimpanzee from the west coast of Gaboon, who for eight years has entertained many thou sands of folk of all ages and of both sexes at the popular gardens in Regent’s park. The intelligent [^Sally has been the sub ject of comment among men of science, »f sages and philosophers, and possibly theologians. Perhaps the most remark able of her feats was that of counting. Sally, in the presence of a crowded room, when called upon, say for bits of straw in her cage, would give you the exact number you named up to ten. and the keeper has found her, when alone count in this way up to ttfenty'Tf one the public askedTor five, six or nine , or whatever quantity up to ten. jjuld pick each deliberately up. any mistake, put one by one in South until all were got together [hen give them into your hand, asked for a “buttonhole,” she would i a straw, break off part of the stalk pnt the ear into the buttonhole of [keeper’s coat. She knew right from would use a spoon and sip with it 'until vHe cup was empty She was 4 years V.VJ when first brought to this country, and was therefore 12 years of age when she died.—London Tit-Bits One Man's Lons Another’s Gain. "Whenever there is a tire you can be sure that while it may bring loss to some one it brings gain to others,” said J. Hairy Sutterlie, of a big importing honse, as he stood in his office nnder the big Brooklyn bridge. "There was that warehouse fire down near Wall street, where so much chemi cals were burned. Nearly, if not quite all, of the shellac iu bulk now in this country, except fifty bales we had here, was destroyed. That meant that we con trolled the market the second day after the fire. The price jumped over 100 per cent, and is still climbing. It was about twenty-two cents a pound the day be fore the tire. We have fifty hales, with about 225 pounds to the bale. Shellac comes from Calcutta, India, and before any more can come we shall probably be Bold out. So you see that fire meant gain to us if loss to some other dealer.”—New York World. What the Dude Wears. Perhaps you haven’t heard that the entirely correct and unexceptionable dude at present has the flower for his buttonhole cut with a long stem, which must be permitted to stick out care lessly from under the lapel of the coat. Jt seems a trifle, but of course it is just such matters of no apparent moment that distinguish the really, truly well dressed man from the mere imitator. The latter is always somewhat behind the mode and never up with it. For in stance, jnst now he keeps on wearing a sash instead of a leather belt, which is the proper caper. By next season he will have caught on. and by that time the swill will have adopted further touches.—Interview in Washington Star. UprUIng Against the Winchester Rifle. Owing to the numerous murders which have been committed in Effingham county, steps outside of law have been taken to preserve the peace. At a public meeting of citizens held at Guitou, Ga. the following resolution was adopted: Any person hereafter visiting this town armed with a repeating rifle shall be waited upon by a standing commit tee and required to show good cause for carrying such rifle, it being the unani mous opinion of the meeting that one armed with a Winchester is prima facie in quest of gore.—(Jor. New Orleans Times-1 )em oerat. The LongPMt Coal Train. A train of 225 loaded four wheel coal rs passed over the Lehigh Valley rail- ul a few days ago. It was the longest d heaviest train ever carried over any id in this country, and that means in e world. Naturally this train suggests jomparison with the trains of Conesto- teams which sixty years ago toiled tween eastern Pennsylvania and Pitts- irg. The teamster of that period never. his wildest conceptions, imagined ch an event as the one related above. Scranton (Pa.)
