Cause Of lamp Explosions.

/ There are many causes for the explo
sion OF kerosene lamps, aud knowledge
OF them may IN some instances prevent
accidents. Its not the oil that ex piod, :,
/ but the vapor or gas that is generated
from the oil. The vapor when confined,
or under pressure il as explosive and
dangerous a. gun powder. The ignition
OF this gas may occur as follows:
l. 4 lamp may be standing on Ia
be or mantel, and slight puff Of air from
the open window or door may cause an
expression.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from table or mantel and instantly ex-
ploIed.
3. A lamp is taken out into the entry
where there. is draft, or out of doors,
AMI an explosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp is taken up flight of
stairs, or is raised quickly to place it on
the mantel, resulting in an explosion. In
these cases the mischief is done by the
air movement-either by suddenly check
ing the draft or forcing air down the
chimney against the flame.
5. Blowing down the chimney to ex-
tinguish the light is frequent cause OF
explosion.
6. Lamp explosions have been cause
By using a chimney broken off ut the top,
or one that has piece broken out, where
by the draft is variable and the flame I'M
steady.
Z. Sometimes thoughtless person puts
a small wick into a large burner, thus
leaving considerable space along the
edges of the wick. An old burner, with
its air draft clogged up, which rightfulIy
should be thrown away, is sometimes con
tinued in use, and the final result is an
explosion.

SEARCH FOR WIVES. -Where do men
usually discover the women who alter
ward become their wives ? is the question
we have occasionally heard discussed,
and the result it invariably comes to IS
worth mentioning to our young lady
readers. Chance has much to do in the
affair; but then there are important gov
erping circumstances. 1t is certain that
few men Isake aselection from bathrooms,
or any other place Of public gayety; and
nearly as few are influenced BY Qkat may
be called showing off in the streets, or
anv sllurement of dress. Our conviction
is that ninety nine hundredths of all the
fnery with which tie Tomen decorate or
load their persons go for nothing IS FAR
a. husband catching is concerned.
Where aud how, then do men lind their
wives? In the quiet homes of their pa
| rents or guardians--at the treslde where
the domestic graces and feelings are alone
demonstrated. These are charms which
most surely attract the high as well as
the humble Against these all the hnery
and airs in the world sink into 10 signlfl-
canoe.

No Time for ANYTHING.

The great difficulty in this country is
that we have no time for anything. The
very walk Of an American shows that he
is in a hurry. An Englishman buttons
his coat and gloves and goes to work as
deliberately as he goes to church, An
American business man flies after the
car, struggling with his coat sleeves as
he runs, plpnges in headforemost, and
plunges out at the other end without re-
gard to his neck. Chief among our ac-
cidents stand those which occur because
people jump upon flying trains or depart
ing steamboats,. To wait ten minutes is
something not to be thought Of. Dinner
is not eaten it is swallowed whole and
when one comes to the dessert he finds
that the fruit was harvested before it was
ripe. Everything is hurried through,
from the building Of house to the curing
Of a ham. The women who work on
sewing machines stop before they come
to the end of seam. The dress maker
sends home your dress with basting
threads in it, and no loop to hang it by.
There is none of the slow, cure complete
ness of the Old World about the thing,
and eyen fortunes are made in a hurry
and lost in the same way. If any man we
know is getting rich by slow and patient
process Of saving, be sure that he was not
| born on this continent.-Busines Advo-

The E'imber supply.

In few wears tiie above will be a Sc
rous question in which Mississippi, by
reason Of her immense terests OF pine
and her supplies of other valueatae tim
bers; is especially interested. We leafE
from Northwestern paper which makes
aspecialitY of timber matters, that the
steady ensiaughts upon the pine forests OF
Minnesota. Wisconsin and Iowa, by
which they have received many millions
OF dollars, will soon limit, if not virtually
destroy, the supply of timber in that re.
gIon. The demands of industry and
population, require large annual IN
crease of the supply, WHICH must lnevita-
Oily become exhausted.
When this is consumated, the timber
resources of the South, including Mlssls
sppl, will increase in Importance. The
Value of the piney woods of our State
vii be immediately enhanced by opera
To-! ton Of the Law of supply and demand.
There will be NO estimating the value OF
her pine forests, to say nothing OF hel
walnut, oak, hickory, ash, and last but
not least, her cypress, the value OF when,
bic.
With the imperious demand which
must inevitably spring up for these tim
bcrs, WI raise the question of accesslblli
" to market but where there Is vii
there is gay, and the latter will bl
provided sooa after it is ascertained that
the necessity aetaSlly exists. In some o
the interior counties of South Mississippi
her pine forests, in consequence OF then
remoteness from railroads and RayIgaolt
streams, will be of no avail until meaEI
OF transportation are provided. NC

Never EiOpe.

Young people who are thwarted in
love, however good they may be, are not
apt to be very discreet. At such times,
when the young people are almost devoid
of discretion, the "old folks" should ex-
hibit an abundance of it. They should,
of course, be firm, but not harsh. They
should remember their own youthful ex-
per4ence, in order that they may apply
their matured judgment to the real facts
of the case, and act wisely and justly.
The young people should also try to act
from reason, and not imagine themselves
to be the worst uesd lovers that were ever
known. They are simply experiencing
the common lot Of lovers. In any event,
they should never elope, nor get married
secretly, nor do anything which would
cast q cloud over their domestic life,
They should respect their parents feel
ings, and try to conciliate them. For
bearaIce and patience on their part will
will often accomplish wonders and the
exhibition of any amount on toFbeaFanct
and patience is not too great price Il
pay for the blessings of parents upon th'
marriage of young couple just settling
| out in life.

BALTIMORE, March 22.-The case OF
Harriet A. Cuiley, colored, against the
Baltimore d Ohio Railroad Company.
which has been on trial four days in the
United States District Court, Judge
Giles, was concluded this morning, and
under instructions from the Court. the
jury rendered a verdict for the defend
ant. This action, with seventeen others,
was brought against the Company un-
der the Civil Rights Acts of Congress Of
March lst, 1873, which imposes a pen
atty OF 500 on any person who should
deny equal accommodation to any citi.
zen, regardless of previous condition, in
hotels, theaters, and public conveyance.
The plaintiff, colored citizen Of Mary
land, claimed to have been denied ac-
commodations on the Company's train,
in June 1876, aud was compelled, as she
alleged, to occupy comp lrtment car
which was inferior; simply because of
her race or color. The Company denied
this, and proved that eoIored people have
the same rights on all their trains as
whites. The Court, however, heard ar
gument on the constitutionallty OF the
Act under the 18th amendment to the
Constitution, and held: First-That the
Slaughter-house cases, Is Wallace, had
determined that the privileges belonging
to the citizens Of the United States as
such were different from privileges be-
longing to citizens of the State as such,
and that only the former were under
Congressional protection; that this opn-
ion had been subsequently affirmed by
the United States Supreme Court.
Second--That the right to ride in rail
road ears for purposes of local travel,
was not a privilege of citizens of the
United States as such, but was a privi-
lege belonging to a person by virtue of
his State citizenship and therefore upon
the denial Of such privilege the citizen
must look for redress to the State tribu
mails that it was not within the power Of
Congress to infct a penalty for the de-
nial of such a privilege. The Act there
fore, was unconstitutional. This opinion
aecords with that of Judge Emmons,
United States Circuit Judge for the
Sixth Curcuit, and Judge Sawyer, OF
California, and other Federal Judges.

Woodford (Ky.) Sun: In 1916, Mr..

was born to the wife of Jack Frost, of

comrade. At about the same time also
there was born to the wife of Mr.. Hol-

and she was named after Mrs. Darneal.
Last Wednesday, Swift Darneal Frost
