= Some time ago we ha6 an account
Of the explosion of barrel of -four,
which had been packed while damp. A
minee pie, surcharged with steam, and
with no vent in the crust, exploded in
Shekopee, MINI, recently, fatally scald-
ing the young child. What will go off,
next?
Parton in his lecture on Vulgar Peo-
pie" relates this anecdote; Thomas Mast
had $1,000 or $4,000 year when pepper
ing the ring. He was offered 100000
in cash if he would ego to Europe for
his health and stay there for three years"
Another said, /" Is there any sum of mon
ey that will induce you to let up on the
ring ?" There is not money enough in

youth who had witnessed a Chinese Jug
gler's trick of running a sword down his
throat and then drawing it out, attempt
ed to perform the same trick with a fork.
As the f~rk went down it slipped out of
his hand, and all attempts of his fright
ened companions to extract it were vain.
He was carried to the hospital, where he
still lies, and eats and drinks with the
fork in mis- stomach! The case has excit-
ed such extraordinary interest that po-
lice were stationed at the hospital to keep
the crowds away.

A few days ago an eagle descended up
on the head of little Swede boy, about
10 years old, who lives near the head of
the Wild Cat, and undertook to carry
him off. He fastened his talons in the
boys cap, but the youngster, instead of
rising into mid air, caught the eagle, and
after long and severe struggle, succeed
in killing him. He measured eight feet
from tip to tip. When the lad reached
