wood melted away faster than was warrant
ed by the mildness Of the weather, charged
a fine looking stick with few ounces of
POWDER and left it on top Of the pile. The

"Wednesday forenoon, m explosion was
heard in house near by and kitchen win
dow was spared no panes. On going to the
spot, sight might have been seen. The
stove had joined peace conference, ket-
tie of pork and cabbage shot up through the
roof like an arrow. A dish Of apples stew
ing on the stove, gave the ceiling the APP
pearance Of amap of Calfornia. A cat that
was sleeping under the stove, went through
the broken window, as though she was after
the devil or = doctor. The cat has not been
heard from since but smell Of burnt hair
pervades that house very thoroughly. A
Aat-iron was hoisted into pan Of dough, a
chair lost three legs, the wood-box looks
sick, while the roof of the house resembles a
bursted apple dumpling."

Some years since, Baron Liebig, after
many experiments, discovered a plan for
making an 'extract Of meat" by VIII CHI its
bulk, nourishment for nourishment, was
reduced one thirtieth. His plan was tried
on the continent, and At length taken up BY
. German settler in Uruguay, and factory
established at Frey Bentos. This establish
ment, which is to be greatly extended, ex-
ports about 1000 pounds Of the preparation
every year, which can be purchased for 1G
cents per pound. One pound will make soup
for 1873 men, and we are told on excellent
authority that it is now being used in seye-
raj English hospitals, with the best results.
The soup though not always nice, great care
being required in its manufacture, is vastly
superior in nourishng qualities to the best
beef tea. and from its comparative ceenp-
ness, will probably supersede it.
