THE OMNIVOROUS COW. Collection of Indigestible Objects j Taken From the Bovine Stum- j ach. - - I llartford Couranl. Most people are probably of the opin ion that the goat and ostrich rank high est as omnivorous animals. The for mer's alleged diet of tin cans, and the latter's of nails, are subjects of common information, lt is not so generally known, however, that a cow takes often very curious things into her stomach. The United States department of agri culture has given space in its exhibit In the government building to a col lection of various objects which have been taken from the stomachs of varioua cattle. All these cattle have been killed for beef at the Chicago stock yards. The JOS TIcKEY & CO. JOSEPH McKEY & COMPANY Ooods Ordered by Out-of=Tow„ Customers During This Sale itust Be Accompanied With Cash, and Will Receive Special Attention. BOSTON 9 most amazing of these objects is the iron tooth of a huge western hay-rake, such as is drawn by two horses upon the. Western prairies. The iron tooth is curved and is four feet eight inches long by about a quarter of an inch thick. It was taken from the stomach of a Texas steer, which was to all external appearances in the best of health when killed. From the stomach, of another Texas steer was taken an iron bolt thir teen and a half inches long by five eighths of an Inch thick. What kind of an appetite steers had who consumed ai tides like the above must be left to the reader's imagination. Of the truth of the finding of these objects inside the animals in question there seems to be no doubt. The objects are on exhibi ion, accompanied by tne names of the men who loan them. : • In a rather small cow were found objects as follows: One Masonic em blem, oue dime, one copper cent, two THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE, TUESDAY MORNiNG, SEPTE^IJiER 19, 1803. watch rings, one Auger ring and a uum- I of stones. In another cow's stomach j were found one silver dollar, one silver j watch chain, one brass hairpin, a door j knob and seven nails or pieces of nails. I From a single Texas steer were taken j nineteen pounds of stones. These l stones varied in size from three inches j to a quarter or an inch in diameter. One of the most curious features of i this remarkable collection is a lot of twenty-three hair balls. These were all 1 found in the stomach of a Texas cow f which was butchered at the stock yards ! here only a short time ago. . When she j was killed the animal was in good j 1 health but small. She weighed, when ! dressed for beef, 330 pounds. These hair balls are each a perfectly solid half- J circular mass. The largest one is five inches in diameter, and the smallest ■ about one and one-half inches. Tne 1 balls are formed by the cow licking itself. The hair comes off aud adheres to Sacrifice Sale-Men's Suits, All McKey & Co.'s stock of $35 Brokaw Suits at $20 All McKey. tt Co.

Doubtful Pedigree of a So- Called Frank Hals Painting. Experts seem to be dangerous ad visers, whether they tell you to buy or criticise what you have bought. In one case they may saddle you with a bad bargain; in the other they make you discontented with a good one, says the London Spectator. • The action of "Lawrie vs.' Wert-, heimer" is an example of the latter kind. On July is last Messrs. Lawrie i bought a certain Picture as an un doubted work of Frank. Hals. For eleven days they believed it to be gen- ' vine, and were proportionately blessed TO BOWLBY&CO. iin so believing. Had they only trusted ; their own judgment or the vendor's a little more, they would have continued in this happy state of mind. - Unfortu nately,it came to their ears that another picture not unlike this one had been the subject of much discussion in Paris.and that this picture and the one they had bought agreed in one particular. Neither of. them had tho painter's initials. He was accustomed to put "F. II." to all his work, and here the "F.H" was wanting. More than this, it seems that the critics who had condemned the I'aris picture made equally short work of the English picture. Frank Hals wrote his signature in one way, and the un known artist whose work Messrs. Lawrie had purchased wrote his in quite an other way.- What with the- testimony of the experts and what with corrobora- \ tive evidences of the signature, Messrs. Lawrie came to the conclusion that they had better be off their, bargain if ' the/ could. Mr. Wertheimer, however, BOWLBY & CO. ' THE STORE IS FUli OF THEM! Sacrifice Sale-Boys' Suits.

Every step in its history could j be traced as far back as the seventeenth [ century, when it was in the collection ot Sir Lake Schamb. Thence it passed into the possession of Lord Byron, and was sold with the rest of his pictures at Christie's in 1702. The purchaser was Lord Braybrooke, ana it remained at Audley End for more than a century, and was bought from thence by Mr. Herthelmer. It is thus clear tbat It it be wrongly ascribed the error must be of very old date. . , ..... Sir Luke Schamb was a contemporary of rank Hals, and may have easily bought the picture direct trom him". bull, this is only a conjecture, and Sir Luke Schamb may have been deceived and may have bought as the work of t-rank Hals what was really the work i of somebody; else. Against this, how- i ever, must ue set the improbability that THERE is about $75,000 worth of the best merchandise that can be sold, and only two weeks to do it in. Old customers of • The p Boston, knowing the McKey prices, can judge of the extent of the reduction, while the * new ones can judge by the plain markings. . a picture by any other artist would have beeu fathered by Fraulc Hals at a time when he was not famous. A Frank Hals now is of great value, Mr. Wert heimer gave Lord Braybrooke £'3.000 for this one; but in Sir Luke Schamb's time I rank Hals was by no means a name to conjure with, for this same picture was sold in 10S7for£43. .
