A bad easeof didn't know it was
loaded happened in Brooklyn. Thos.
Rockford wished to repair leak in his
water-pipe, and looking about the gar
ret for something that would do for a
soldering iron found what he believed
to be the proper thing. Taking it to
the kitchen he thrust It into the range
and waited In about minute there
was an explosion which demolished the
range, tore out the windows of the
kitchen, wounded several persons and
set the house on fire. The house had
previously been occupied by whaling
captain, and Investigation discovered
another ''soldering-iron' in the garnet
similar to the one Rockford had used.
It was an explosive harpoon.

that at present English farms are neither
large enough nor small enough, and
that in future good results will be de-
rived from small garden farms, and
also from large joint stock farms. 1t is
very probable that at the outset the
promoters of the above scheme will be
able to make capital terms with the
landlords, as so many farms are now

ORIGIN OF THE SISTERS OF MERCY.-ln
the year 1917, when VINCENT, the eminent
Roman Catholic Saint, was one day going up
the pulpit at Chatillon, lady who had come
to hear him preach detained him for mo-
ment with the request to make mention in his
service of poor family living about half a
league from Chatillon, where there was much
sickness and great need of help. He was
asked to recommend this family to the chari-
ty of the congregation. This he did with
such effect that several of the people set out
on leaving the church to visit the poor fam
ly and took with them bread, meat and other
things for their relief. After vespers VIM
CENT went also to visit them, and was sur
prsed to meet so many of the people coming
back. His practical eye at once perceived
that the matter had been carried to excess
The poor people received far more than they
could use. Many of the provisions would be
spoiled before they could be availed Of, and
the family for whose benefit these offerings
were intended would be as badly off as be-
fore. VINCENT began to think that system
and organization was needed. He formed q
parOchial association, which he called the
Confraternity of Charity, and out of this little
streamlet of good works at Chatillon grew q
vast organization for the benefit of the poor
