that, while it is impossible to emphasize too
strongly the need Of harmony in the Bepu0-

Its attainment. IF anybody thinks harmony

Killed by IN Explosion.

A terrible accident occurred at King
ston, small village near Wilkesbarre,
Pa, OH Tuesday last. A little factory
called the Excelsior Squib Works, which
was engaged in the manufacture of squibs
for the use of miners, employing eight boys
and girls, was blown to pieces, killing six
and badly burning the ether two children.
The excitement ut the scene of the acct
dent was intense. The bodies lay in all
directions and the debris was scattered far
and near. Willing hands aided the little
sufferers. The bodies were all horribly
blackened and disfigured. Little Mamie
Norris suffered the most terrible agony.
The torn flesh hung in shreds and her
clothes were stripped and burned from
her body. She begged piteously to be
thrown into the creek near by, to relieve
her of her sufferings. The others also pre-
sented 4 sickehing appearance and por-
tons Of their flesh was burned to crisp.
The sufferers were removed to their homes
as quickly as possible and medical aid was
summoned. The scenes in their homes
were very touching. In some instances
the parents of the unfortunate children
tainted over the forms Of those who only
few minutes before left them in good
spirits for their places Of employment.
The explosion was caused by spark from
a stove dropping into all open keg of pow

Three pairs of three-year-old ostriches
were shipped from New York on Friday
as the stock for an ostrich farm at Sylvan
Lake, Orange County, Florida. They
started on board the steamer Western
Texas, of the Mallory line. The birds
shipped weighed from $50 to 200 pounds
each, and stood about seven feet high
without any stockings. They are natives
of Nubia, in Upper Africa, and were cap
turcG while young by the agents of Chas.
Reiche & Brother, of New York and Ho-
bOken, who are part proprietors of the
projected ostrich farm. 1t took eight
months to transport safely the birds from
Nubia. They reached here on September
2, and for the past six weeks have been
reveling in diet of fine quality of hay
and delicious mash of bran, oats and
cracked corn, in the wilds Of the Reiches'
wild animal farm at HOboken. No:with-
standing their cordial reception and
princely treatment, they were q discour-
aged and dsheartened set Of birds when
they set out on their voyage to the sunny
South. Their plumage was very much
rumpled and broken, and they seemed to
pine for one square meal Of the sands Of
the desert. The attendants assert that
the broken plumage was due to the acct
dents and incidents of their long voyage
rather than yearning for sand US a
steady diet and the exhibition of deplOr-
able bad taste in the rejection Of Hoboken
tomatO-csns and broken glassware as =
substitute.
Mr.. Charlton Jones will be the guardian
of the flock on their arrival in Florida.
He has set apart one hundred acres Of his
five hundred-acre farm for the purpose Of
this experiment in farming. The land
forms peninsula extending into the lake
which gives the town its name. This has
been inclosed to keep out alligators and
other enemies of the ostrich race. A pen
has been provided as home for the
strangers, and they will be treated to
more of the hay and mash diet until they
shall become well enough acquainted
with their new quarters to be able to shift
for themselves. Their first crop of feath-
crs will be due next year, after they have
moulted their present wholly unmarked
able coat and got to work ut the feather
business in earnest. A year later, or
when five years old, they are expected to
be able to furnish two crops annually,
and begin the raising Of families. The
result of this experiment will be watched
with much interest by scientific and busi-
ness men, us its success would open up
new and remunerative field for enterpris-
ing business men.

The salt mountain Of Nevba in the
island of San Domingo, is remarkable
natural curiosity. 1t is solid mass eff
crystalline salt nearly four miles long. 1t
is near the town Salina, about fifteen
miles from the south coast of the island.
The natives have mined salt from it for
their own use for hundreds of years. At
one point there is palisade of pure white
salt rising almost perpendicular to a
height of 60 feet, affording vertical area
of about 5000 square feet of salt without
a seam or crevice, and rs solid as block
of marble. The salt can be seen cropping
out in spurs from the mountain, and ut
places where the rains have washed away
the everything soil. The mountain is esti-
mated to contain 1927 200, 900 cubic feet,
or SO, 337 900 tons of salt. The salt is eX-
ceedingly pure, containing only per cent
of foreign matter. 1t can be cut out in
huge blocks as hard and as clear as crys-
tai. Type can be read through solid
foot of some Of these specimens. The
mountain, geolOgists say, was once a
plain at the bottom Of the sea, anG as the
island rose from the ocean, this plain
formed the bottom of 4 shallow lagoon,
where the salt was deposited. The noun
tain has been purchased by New York
company with a view of developing it.
They will build railway to the noun
tain, and they expect shortly to begin the
importation of the salt into this country.
They expect to sell it at $6.05 ton, about
half the present cost of salt of the same
quality. Mining Record.

He Wanted the Earth 10 Yaw..

Orders have been issued from the head
quarters Of the Northern Pacific Railroad
to the effect that all employees on trains
and at stations over the line must appear
in uniform. A tailor is now going over
the road taking measurements Of the en-
ployees for their new suits, who, in order
to expedite matters, sends the following
dispatch to all agents: ''Take off every
thing but your pantaloons and shirt and
be on the platform when the train arrives,
to be measured for uniform" Arriving
at one Of the new stations he jumped from
the train, tape-line in hand, and shouted
for the agent. In response to his call
handsome young lady stepped forward,
accompanied by burly si1-footer, who
announced that the lady was the agent
and he was brother, and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION Of his despatch. The tailor ex-
planned as best he could.-Butte Miner.

A HINT TO FRUIT GRowERs.-Major Jed
Hotchkiss, of Staunton, writes as follows
to the Richmond State: 81 think our Vir-
GINA fruit growers should be apprised Of
the fact that the apple crop of nearly all
parts of the country is this year failure,
while, as a rule, they have an abundance.
There are no apples worth mentioning In
New England, New York, anG in most
parts Of the West, especially in the Sec
tons that generally furnish most Of the
market supplies. Our people ought to
carefully gather, by hand picking, and
store all their apples, assured that they
will be in demand and bring good prices.
And further, they ought to plant more
fruit trees Of all kinds suited to our climate.
Nothing will pay better, and it helps to
diversity our industries.
RULES IN PRUNISG.-In prize essay on
the philosophy of pruning, IF. White,
OF Boone county, No., gives the following
rules In pruning:
First-Always leave an inch of wood
beyond the terminal bud, and let the cut
be on the opposite side from the bud.
Second-Always cut upward and in a
sloping direction.
Third-Prune so as 10 make but few
wounds, and cut the surface as smooth as
possible.
Fourth-Tn cutting out an old branch
prune even to the stem, that the wounds
may heal over quickly.
Fifth-Prunc so as to obtain the guam
tity Of fruit desired from the smallest
number Of shoots.
Sixth-Nevcr prune when the vines are
frozen.
Seveuth-Never prune during the
months of March, April or May, as prun-
ing then will cause bleeding and an I'M
necessary flow Of sap.
Eighth-Let the general autumnal
pruning take place about the LIST of Octo-
Der, as soon as the gathering Of the fruit
will permit.
