are Obliged to visit all the nitro-gly-
cerine safes in the oil region, examine
and place value on their contents.
There are thirty OF these magazines
connected with the estate in the Brad
ford field alone. These magazines each
contain from 1000 to 10000 pounds Of
the explosive. While the appraisers
were cautiously creeping about in one
of them which contained 1900 pounds
driver of Roberts nitro-glycerins
wagon came tearing up to the safe with
his team at the usual break neck rate.
He had been out torpedoing wells. He
had seven twenty pound cans left.
These he brought into the magazine
carrying two under each arm, one in
each hand and rolling the other along
on the floor of the safe with his foot.
The six cans he tumbled on the floor -
If they were sticks of wood. The ap-
praisers lost no time in getting out oi
that magazine.
When nitro -glycerine wagon is mel

the way its driver sees fit to ask.
The carrying of this explosive in any
but the wagons arranged for its trans
portation is forbidden by law, but it il
not an uncommon thing to see some
daredevil driver iolting over the rough
roads with cans of it knocking about in
the bottom of an ordinary wagon. Car.
rying nitro-glycerine through towns is
punishable by heavy fines; but as it re-
quires rather bold officer to chase .
man who is carrying with him material
that may explode at any moment, il il
not an exceedingly rare sight to see
drivers on their way to wells taking .
short and easier cut through towns and
villages with their stock of nitro -glycer-
inc. A driver was some time ago dis
covered passing through one Of the
Bradford suburbs with load of nitro
glycerine. The residents protested, and
an officer halted the man to arrest him.
The driver took one of his cans, raised
it above his head, and informed the
crowd that if any one attempted to IN
terfere with him he would throw the
can against rock by the toEdside not
three feet away. The mar vas . moon

crowd believed that he would like moth

Medicinal Qualities OF Buttermilk.

For summer beverage there can be
nothing :lore healthy and strengthen
ing than buttermilk. 1t is excellent
for weak or delicate stomachs, and far
better as a dinner drink than coffee,
tea or water, and, unlike them, does not
retard, but rather aids digestion.
A celebrated physician once said that
if every one knew the value of buttermilk
as drink, it would be more freely par
taken Of by persons who drink so eI-
cessively of other beverages; and further
compared its effects upon the system TO
the cleaning out of cook stove that
has been clogged up with ashes that
have sifted through, filling up every
crevice and crack, saying that the human
system is like the stove, and collects
and gathers refuse matter that can In
no way be exterminated from the sys-
tenn SO effectually as by drinking but
termilk. 1t is also specific remedy
for indigestion, soothes and quiets the
nerves, and is very somnolent to those
who are troubled with slesplessness.
There is something strange in tho
fact that persons who are fond Of but
termilk never tire of singing its
praises, while those who are not fond
of it never weary of wondering how
some people can drink it. So far as is
possible, people should overcome their
aversion to it, and learn to drink it
for health's sake. One gentleman of
our acquaintance is 30 extremely fond
of it that We knew him one time to
drink about three glasses, then set his
glass down with thud, exelaiming
earnestly, as he smacked his lips:
"That's food and raiment both" I"
While another buttermilk enthusiast
made the statement once that where
the liver has become lifeless from
torpidity and inaction, and is too
dead to perform its functions,
buttermilk will cause q new one TO
grow in. Whatever exaggerated state
ments may have been made concern
ing buttermilk, its medical properties
cannot be overrated, and it should be
more freely used by all who can get
it. Every one who values good health
should drink buttermilk every day in
warm weather, and let tea, coffee and
water alone.
For the benefit of those who are not
already aware of it. I may add, that
in the churning the first process of di-
gestion is gone through, making it
one of the easiest and quickest of all
things to digest.
1t makes gastric Juice and contains
properties that readily assimilate with
it, with little or no wear upon the di-
gestive organs.

WHOLE NUMBER, SIG
Portuguese Shepherds.

On the hillside under the cork tree,
we see o child tending her flock and
spinning with distaff and spindle. Such
. sight is very common; little girls
have much to do with the domestic ami
mails; they run fearlessly between the
long horns Of the great, tawny oxen,
and guide them in the way they
should go with shower Of blows on
their long-Sufering ioreheads and muz-
xles. They milk the goats and herd
the swine. and grow 1.-the and strong OF
limb and nut-brown OF face in the warm
sun. The herdsmen and shepherdesses
beguile their lonely watch with the
peculiar antiphonL songs Of the coun-
Try, which often display remarkable wit
in repartee on the part Of the improvis-
stores, - we'll as . ready talent for
rhyming. These songs are composed
- wsll in Spain as in Portugal. One
shepherd challenges another to tour
namsnt in verse, and begins by singing
stanxa which Il to serve as keynote
for the whole production, as well in the
kind Of measure to be used as in tune.
In one of these lyrical ballads, which,
so far as know, has never crept into
print, q man begins song half in ban
ter half in earnest:
It Il. better TO love dog than to love . We
man,
For for piece of gold woman will leave you
But the affection OF 8 dog is endless."
A woman, who perhaps has had some
experience Of the improvidenoe as we'll
as Of the voracity Of mankind, replies,
in ready caricature of the other:
at IL better 10 feed dog than to feed man,
For With apiece Of meat dog will leave you
In peace,
But the hunger Of . man will last forever"
And the keen, sharp-shooting is kept
up through long range of topics, the
ball tossed back and forward from one
skillful composer to another, and when
improvisation fails traditional badinage
is remembered and sung with equal
gusto. -Hdrper's Magazine.

"But who is hei" said Mr.. MAjilton,

He2e Is something from the London
Sanitary Record which ought to be re-
membered by people who are engaged
in the work Of renovating their dwell
ings. 1t is not improbable that many
cases Of mysterious illness, and even Of
death, may be attributable to the cause
indicated or something similar. Danger
often Turks under very simple DISCUSSES;
Many people have noticed the dis
agreeable odor proceeding from the size
and paste Of paper-hanging pervading
an apartment for some time after the
paper has been newly hung. N. vallin,
in the Rsvue d Hygiene, reports an in
intesting case which has induced him
to make some inquiries in this matter.
A lady who from time to time came to
town to supervise the decoration Of her
house was three times successively
seized with violent sickness and head
ache after sleeping in newly papered
room. M. Vsllin WAS struck
with the putrefactive odor which
pervaded the atmosphere, and
after examining into the matter,
came to the conclusion that it pro-
oeeded from the wall. 1t was found
that horrible putrefactive odor pro.
ceeded from the size-pot, with which
the psper-hsnger in the next room was
continuing to hang the wall paper, a, d
that this size was in state of putrefac-
tive change. On making further in
quiries, various other cases have come
under his notice in which illness has
pslpably been produced by the use, by
paper-hangers, of size and paste under
going or speedily entering on septic
change; and it is extremely desirable
that this should be borne in mind, and,
if necessary, little oil of cloves, sali-
cyl;o acid, or some other antiseptic
kSent should be added to the material
which they use for this purpose, or, at
any rate, care should be taken to avoid
these disagreeable consequences Of
carelessness which are only too COM
mon.

Some OBSTACLES Our Tacoma friends
thought when Capt. Gilkey secured a cargo
of wheat here to load his ship, the Dakota,
at that place that they were just sturally
going to keep il up and that the major por-
ton OF our wheat would be shipped IN fu-
ture to their port Their bright visions are
not vet To he realized, as will be Seen by thu
following from the Seattle PoiIni"H9ebrei' :
The bark Sonoma, row at Tacoma, loaded
with railroad material, viii not load giain
As has been reported. As soon as her cargo
Is discharged, she vi be towcd To Port
Blakely and undergo extensive repairs, after
which she will probably take a load of lum-
Der to some foreign port. An eiiort was
made TO charter hey for grain, but some OBJ
stae,e presented itself, and tine scheme tel
through.
The above from the Portland Standard
may comfort the Portland (Iandportl mer-
chants, but the STATESMAN can inform them
that the bark Sonona is not adapted for
grain carrying as Is evident from its own
statement that she has to undergo extensive
repairs. 1t may be news To MIR. Nollner's
orphan but he is informed that none but
trst-class ships are employed in the grain
carrying business, and not lumber drOush-

says: We are Informed, and will state right
here that our information is such that it Is
hardly possible to he mistaken, that certain
parties at points below Dayton, especially ut
Waitsburg and Walla Walla, are doing all
i'll their power to spread the report that the
smallpox is creating great havoc among our
people. Even going So far as to state that
there are not Well people enough to care for
the sick Persons bound for this place from
below, have been approached at these places
and warned against coming here, and IN
formed that the town is quarantined, no one
allowed to enter or depart therefron. Som
men have been heard to say that it was
rough on Dayton, but du his for their bus
