Xandppe.

1t seems that the memory Of this woman,
like that Of her renowned husband, is likely to
be kept alive to the end OF time. She is said
or have possessed q very irritable temper, and
the name has become a synonym Of ''vixen, "
or "scold" 1t is more than possible, how
ever, that the Judgment passed upon her by
mankind has been too eevere. A more charita-
BILE disposition would undoubtedly have dis
covered in her many good qualities, and have
attributed her failings more to physical in
hrmities than to moral obliquty. The party
most intimately acquainted with her, and
therefore best able to form q correct opinion,
gives her credit for many domestic virtues.
1t Is now we'll known that many of the diseases
to which women are subject have a direct
tendency to render them irritable, peevish,
cross, morose, unreasonable, 30 that they
chafe and fret oN or all those little ills and an
noyances that person in health would bear
with composure. 1t is fair to infer that mot
OF the tantrums Of Xantippe were due to these
causes alone; and could Socrates as he re-
turned from the Senate, the Gymnasium, or
the Atheneum, have stopped at Pestle & Nor
tars drug store and carried home q bottle
OF DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now and
then, no doubt he might have evaded many a
"curtain lecture" allsyed many q " domestic
broil, made it muck plessanter for the chill
dren, and more enjoyable for himself, and
rescued his wife's name from the unenviable,
worldwide and eternal notoriety it has at
tanned. Thousands Of women bless the day
on which DIR. Pieroe's Favorite Prescription
was first made known to them. A single bottle
often gives delicate and suffering women more
relief than months Of treatment from their
family physician. In all those arrangements
Causing backache, dragging down sensations,
nervous and general debility, it is q sovereign
remedy. Its soothing and healing properties
render it Of the utmost value to ladies suffer-
ing from internal fever, congestion, inflamma-
ton, or liberation and its Strengthening effects
tend to correct displacements Of internal
parts, the result OF weakness Of natural sup
ports. 1t is sold by all druggists. =

Machinery Hall.

OF the fourteen acres of space the
Machinery building covers, the exhibit
ors have occupied thirteen. ALI the
space is allotted. There are eight
thousand machines in position. The
American exhibitors of machinery take
up seventy-five per cent. of the space al
lotted. Great Britain is next in import
ance In this line and is 80 much less i'm
portant than the English expected that
the British representatives here apollo
gize for their display of machinery and
acknowledge that the Yankees can beat
them on machinery. A clock company
have an immense clock here, with
twenty-si1 electric dials. Two of these
are tive feet, and twenty-four three feet
In diameter. The strong machine at the
top and front of the building runs the
whole of these dials by connection
through an electric wire, but the hands
of the main dial in front are propelled
by the machine itself.
The pyramid Of speigel eisen and the
immense sheets of Bessemer steel, in the
British section, show elaborate taste and
great perfection of art in mechanics.
The ship sections are led by John Roach.
OF New York and Chester, whose vessels
and compound engines are marvels of
skill In the models. Beautiful models of
ships also come from England. Mr..
Roach says he has q contract to build O
steamboat to ply on Long Island sound
that will cost million dollars, and will
be the finest ever built. Mr.. Hoe has
hiled his printing press section. A
Philadelphia house grinds ont envelopes
by the thousand, by mysterious and
surprising patented method. The Bel
glan mining machinery is at once power
1ul and efficient. 1t works at boring in
rock and sand like the sinking of a
twelVe-foot artesian we'll. Fire engines
and almost everything you can think of
are here In great profusion and seeming
perfection.

Fashion NOtes.

Embroidered gauze galloon is the
novelty for trimming evening and din
ner dresses. 1t is wrought in self color
or In contrast, and is in floral and Japa-
nese designs.
Light gauze wool mantles of transpa-
rent rough threaded soft wool are i'm
ported for slight extra wraps during the
summer. They come in cardinal, rose.
cream, blue, and black, and are trimmed
with wooden lace.
Among Worth's most original combi-
nations is cardinal red with blue. Thus
a Marie Louise blue silk dress for the
carriage has cardinal plaitings peeping
out from blue plaits, and facings of the
brilliant color are in blue loops and
bows.
A mantelet called the Visite is popu-
lar in Paris. This is a revival of q
scarf-mantle worn a generation AGO.
The back is straight, and the long man
tie front has elbow sleeves set in. It is
mode of India cashmere, Sicilienne. or
silk, and is trimmed with rows of plated
lace.
Morning wrappers take the form of
the long Marguerite polonaise, with the
fullness OF the skirt behind being added
low on the tournure instead Of at the
waist. This fullness is arranged in one
or two clusters of box-plaits that are
faced at the top and made to stand erect
on the heightened back of the waist.
Such wrappers are very handsome when
made OF creamy white cashmere,
trimmed with cashmere lace and gros
grain ribbon.

The Agent that Exploded,

A reporter called upon Mr.. Alfred
Rix, the attorney of the Atlantic giant
powder company, to ascertain something
regarding the nature of the powerful
agent which exploded with such terri
bic force at the Bergen tunnel in New
Jersey.
Mr.. Rix said: "We never sold the
contractor of the Bergen tunnel an
ounce of giant powder, and they had none
to use. The firm I represent and an
other in San Francisco are the only ones
in America that make dynamite, as it is
called in Europe, or giant powder, aswe
name it here"
"What was the nature of the explo-
sive used, then2"
I" It was either vulcan powder or rend
rock powder, or both; I think they used
both"
care these powders similar to dy-
namite2"
"They are somewhat similar; they

How are those powders exploded ~
By the explosion of percussion
cap within charge or cartridge of the
powder. Each cap is coated inside with
as much illuminate of mercury as is con-
tanned in twenty ordinary percussion
caps. A fuse is attached to the cap and
lgnited when it is desired to explode the
charge. Tons of the powder can be
set on fire and will burn without explod-
ing, while the explosion of one charge
by the capped fuse will set off others,
even few feet away, with which they
are totally unconnected."
"Wil an ordinary concussion explode
those blasting powders p
Not such as are properly made.
There are some sorts, however, that are
exceedingly dangerous to handle. When
the nitro glycerine is mixed with a poor
absorbent, from which, in course of
time, it leaks, there is great danger at
tending its use. Fire will set off nitro
glycerine at times; friction, or sudden
collision with any hard substance, will
also cause it to explode"
1t is claimed that the. explosion was
caused by strikers. Although no lives
were lost, vast amount of damage was
done.
