our proximity to Gordopsville, ''Snack city,
SO affected cur ideas 'that We failed to realize
the difference between the ''lay of a minstrel
and the layers Of eggs" We deny the soft
Impeachment" and affirm that it would be
impossible for us to fail to distinguish be-
tween the two, since the Editor of the Csts-

had a ''bird 9 eye view Of raid he made
upon the productions of the latter, at the Vir

has never gone down in our market since and
to eat them like Rockbridge Editor has
passed into proverb among the walters. Ever

The President agreed at once, and the swindle
was consummated. This is the whole story in

Sickness of Animals,

Nearly all sick animals become so by
improper eating, in the first place. Nine
cases out of ten, the digestion is wrong.
Charcoal is the most rapid and efficient
corrective. 1t will cure in majority of
cases if properly administered. An
example of its use:
The hired man came in with the in
tellgence that one of the finest cows
was very sick, and kind neighbor pro
posed the usual drugs and poisons.
The owner being Ill and unable to exam
Inc the COW, concluded that the trouble
came from overeating and ordered a tea
cup of pulverized charcoal given in
water.
1t was mixed, placed in a junk bottle,
the head held upward, and the water
with the charcoal poured downward. In
five minutes the improvement was visi-
bic, and in a few hours the animal was
IN the pasture, quietly eating grass.
Another instance of equal success oc-
Cured with a young heifer which
became badly bloated by eating green
apples after a hard wind The bloat
was so severe that the sides were almost
as hard as a barrel The old remedy.
saleratus, was tried for the purpose of
correcting the aci6ity. But the attempt
to put it down always caused coughing,
and it did little good. Half teaspoon
full of powder charcoal was next given.
In six hours all appearance of bloat had
gone and the heifer was well.

Giant Powder.

Chemistry itself is at loss to estimate
the power OF nitro glycerine, and vet
this new agent of death is twenty per
cent. stronger That our readers NAV
be able to form faint conception of the
danger of such a preparation, we Will
give brief description of the process
by which nltro-glycerine, giant and Her
cules powder are supposed to be mann
featured, and OF the extreme canton
necessary in their manufacture.
In the manufacture of nitro-glycerine
two tubes, each about a quarter of an
lnch In diameter and six inches in length.
lead INTO single tube of double their
capacity but of the same length. Nitric
acid IS introduced into one and sulphuric
acid INTO the other of these small tubes.
The large tube contains glycerine. The
two acids are then forced quite gradually
into the glycerine, and the chemical
combination thus forms an explosive of
1ncalculable power. So powerful and
dangerous is this article that not an
ounce OF it is allowed in the manufac-
tory while this little tube. six inches
long and half an inch in diameter. Is
beng filled, and this tube is kept con-
stantly swathed in ice during the pro-
cess. 10 make giant powder, this nitro
glyceT1ne Is allowed to drip upon clay
(slmllar to meerschaum) imported from
Germany. This clay is the only perfect
absorbent of nitro-g1ycerine known. AS
Hercules powder is darker, it is believed
that that explosive is manufactured bv
the same process, charcoal, an imperfect
absorbent, being used instead Of said
quality of clay. If, in the manufacture
OF nitro 6 lycerine, strong tube is kept
swathed in ice, and a quantity of the
liquid only six inches in length and half
an inch i'll diameter is allowed in the
building at the same time, no wonder
that Gen. Won Bokkelen, with his prep
aratlon twenty per cent. more powerful.
