He Packed His Own Hogs.

Some years since there arrived in
Cincinnati a man from the interior of
the state, who had a drove of hogs to
dispose OF. The packers of pork were
then, as they are now, disposed to buy
as cheap as possible, and it was alleged
that they had entered into combina-
ton to keep down the price of the live
article. The stranger visited one estab-
lishment after another, but failed to get
an offer that suited him. At length he
concluded to have the hogs packed on
his own account-that is, to tarn them
over to packing establishment, to
pack at his charge and sell for his &C
count. The bargain was made, and he
returned home. Some three months
after, be was met by friend who had
heard ofthe transaction. "Yeu packed
your own hogs this year, didn't your"
asked the friend. Eyes" 'D1d YOU
save anything?" continued the inquirer.
ooh! yes. I saved something, I saved
my life, but lost my hogs. "-Boston

On our Most Distant Frontiers.

AS in our busiest and most populous -ities of the
seaboard and interior, Rostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is re-eminently popular. Wherever civilza-
ton plants it's foot this continent, thither the
great tonic finds its way. Nor is this sur
prising, for it is the medicine of all others bes,
adapted to the wants of the Western emigrant
be he miner or agriculturist. 1t is an 1ncompar-
able remedy for the diseases to which he is most
subject, ana which are liable to be brought on by
customed air and diet, and miasmatic atmosphere
and water. Among these are disorders of the
stomach and bowels rheumatic ailments, and
malarous fevers, for all Of which Hostetters Bit
tiers is certain specific. A course of the Bitters
before departing for the new field of labor, or on
arriving, will have the effect OF preventing the
evils for which it is such signal remedy.

A New Explosive.
Galignani's Messenger, March

The staff of the Austrian Artillery

Zamky on material which is said to
possess far greater explosive power than
any other substance hitherto discover

that it could be completely dissolved in

Interesting Facts Concerning LocOmO.
tiyeS.

A locomotive, travelling at the ordi.
nary rate Of thirty miles an hour, per-
forms forty-four feet per second, and
at seventy miles an hour 1O5 feet per
second. Two objects near a traveller, a
yard apart, pass his eye in the thirty
fifth part of second. When two trains
having this speed pass each other the
relative velocity will be seventy yards
per second; and if one of the trains
were seventy yards long it would flash
by in a single second. To accomplish
this, supposing the Griving-wheels to
be seven feet in diameter, the piston
must change its direction in the cylin-
der ten times in a second. But there
are two cylinders, and the mechanism
is so regulated that the discharges of
steam per second, ARE at equal intervals,
and these twenty exhausts divide sec
ond into twenty equal parts, each puff
having the twentieth of second be-
tween it and that which proceeds and
follows it. The ear, like the eye, is
limited in the rapidity CT its sensations;
and, sensitive as that organ is, it is not
capable of distinguishing sounds which
succeed each other at intervals of the
twentieth part of second.

Uncle Ben, after she had gone.
She did as he babe her.

"He's growing pretty heavy" said

When" said Uncle Ben, in wofully
weak voice, "did you tell Plunger a
lie?"
"Plunger would not hate me if I told
him one le," said Poor Tangles.
Uncle Ben gave a faint moan.
"Don't die, Mr.. Ben," said Tangles
"they are coming; hear them"
Then there was a rushing, and she
heard them say Mr.. Ben must be kick
ed when the horse struggled to get up,
but it could be planned so it would not
hurt him seriously.
After all must he be hurt. when she
had sat there SO long, oh, so very long
to save him!
They lifted her from her terrible seat;
she heard Plunger struggle, and re-
membered no more.
"Where is Tangles ?" said Uncle Ben,
as he lay very pale upon the bed. No
body knew. They went back to the lit
tie wood, and there, in a tiny heap, lay
poor Tangles just where she had fallen
when she heard the great horse strug
gle.
They brought her in and placed hel
tenderly on the bed, where Uncle Ben
could see her.
When she first opened her eyes, she
had forgotten what had happened, and
as she saw Uncle Ben her old dislike
came back. Then came the memory
of the last hour. and she covered hel
face and cried:
ooh, l thought Plunger would xii
himw
q should have lost my brains if il
had not been for you," said Uncle Ben
Then you don't hate me?" said
Tangles with sigh.
q feel on very good terms with you,
said Uncle Ben; land if you ever told
Plunger a wrong story, although he
hates lies, | feel sure he will forgive
YOU"
Tangles looked troubled.
"And no gentleman would allow his
horse to be more generous or forgivine
than himself" said Miss Gilbert" so you
see, Tangles, everything is all right"
This is happy summer for Tangles
and Uncle Ben and Miss Gilbert say she
shall always have happy ones.

fired by any shock, and only goes off
with difficulty and imperfectly when ig-
nited. Further experiments showed,
however, that with it q new compound
could be formed admirably adapted to
all military purposes. This is prepared
by simply adding a little camphor to
the gelatine. The proportions are
per cent. Of the former to SO per cent.
Of the latter, which consists Of 90 per
cent. of nitro-glycerine and 10 per cent.
of fulmi-cotton. The gelatinous mass
is elastic, transparent, of a pale-yellow
color, and can be cut with a knife.
When set on fire in the open air il burns
like dynamite or dry compressed gun
cotton. 1t only takes fire at a very high
temperature, and the action of the
camphor is very evident in that respect,
for the ordinary gelatine, by itself, ex-
plodes at 200 degrees centigrade 1892
degrees Fahrenheit), while the heat re-
quired to produce that effect after the
addition of the camphor cannot be
tested by any Of the apparatus usually
applied to that purpose. The new com
position cannot be fired by blow, even
from projectile; it shows no signs of
alteration even after having been left
in running water for forty-eight hours.
When soliditied by cold it forms mass
resembling sugar candy, and is then
more sensitive to mechanical action,
but as soon as it is thawed it resumes
all its original properties. When ex-
ploded, however, it produces less smoke
than dynamite Or gun cotton, with a
clearer and more sonorous report, and
has far greater force than either. The
principal objection to its adoption was
the difficulty of igniting it, but that has
been overcome. When cotton fiber is
subjected to the action of sulphuric
acid, a white pulverulent substance is
obtained, which has received the name
of hydro-cellulose, and is easy soluble
in nitric acid, when it becomes nitro
hydrocellulose. This com pound, mix,
ed In the proportion Of 40 per cent.
with 60 per cent. Of nitro-glycerine
forms the most powerful means of ig-
milton ever hitherto discovered. By
properly constructed firing cartridges
of that substance the explosive gelatine
becomes as manageable as ordinary
powder, with less danger and far great
er expansive force.

A Whales STRENGTH.

The tremendous power of the whale
when enraged is illustrated by the tale
of collision with one that resulted in
the loss of the ship Essex, of Nantucket.
In November, 1920, this ship was among
the whales and three boats were lower
ed. Ayoung whale was taken. Shortly
after another of great size, supposed to
have been the dam of the one just killed,
came against the ship with such violence
as to tear away part of the false keel.
1t then remained some time alongside,
endeavoring to grip the ship in its jaws.
but, failing to make any impression,
swan off about a quarter of mile,
when, suddenly turning about, it came
with tremendous velocity toward the
Essex. The conclusion not only stopped
the vessels way, but actually forced
her astern. Every man on deck was
knocked down; the bows were COM
pletely stove in, In a few minutes the
vessel filed and went on her beam ends.
The word slang had very low origin.
1t was derived from the Norman slengge,
or slang, Or insulting words; and this,
when connected with the Latin word
lingus (tongue), signifed the bad Ian
guage attributed to gypsies. It then
became synonymous with every word
used In a thiefs vocabulary.

tember l4th last, aged 76 years and
some days. Il 81 :
Mr.. Loudenslager was born in Penn
sylvania moved into sshistneiSAb
hood about forty-five years ago, and
lived here ever since as a farmer, and
was prosperous. He retired from bu-
siness for several years, and lived at
the Center in comfortable circumstan-
ces. He suffered considerable in the
few last years of his life with rheuma-
tism and other diseases peculiar to old
age; but he bore them, all with quiz
ct, christian resignation. He had a
habit of taking daily round through
the village for years, when weather
and health permitted, and would visit
the shops and stores for a pleasant chat
with some of the neighbors, and every
one was glad to see Daddy" Lou
denslager, as he was Familiarity called.
He left three children-Jacob, living
in Michigan; John, in Brimfield, and
Mrs. David Kistef, In -Sufiield-all in
comfortable circumstances. He was
married to his second wife, and left
her sufficient means to spend the re-
mainder of her life in comfort. The
history of his life and death deserves
to be written by some one better ac-
quainted with the facts than
