The Churchill Romance.

The story of Mary Churchill is by no
means as painful as many persons seem
to think it. 1t is true that the girl ran
away from home, and by concealing
herself for weeks made her parents and
friends suffer unspeakable anxiety.
There are, however, certain features of
the a which are extremely cheering
when looked at IA the proper way, and
there is reason to hope that Miss
Churchill's example will be productive
of great good. :
It appears that the girl ran away be-
cause she was required to practice on
tho piano four hours daily. This was
more than she could bear, although the
neighbors seem to have lived through it.
Hitherto the sufferings of people who
live within hearing Of a piano have mo-
nopolized public sympathy, and no
thought has been given to the unhappy
girls whose wearied fingers furnish an
guish to the neighborhood, Indeed, it
has generally been assumed that prac-
ticing on the piano is an evidence of the
heartlessness of the performer, and girls
have thus been unfairly credited with
IN inhuman love Of torture. Miss
Churchill was doubtless regarded by
those living within sound Of her piano
as q cruel and selfish girl, whereas the
truth is that she was herself a victim.
Of her own free will she would never
have touched the piano, and it was her
mother-who is of course stone deaf
who compelled her to spend four hours
a day at the instrument. 1t is even pos
sible that Miss Churchill suffered acutely
from the consciousness Of the four daily.
hours of misery that she involuntarily
inflicted upon the residents of her
s'block." At any rate she ran away
from her piano, and where is the man
who can condemn her?
Other girls who wilfully, or because
they can not help it, practice four hours
daily on the piano, should read the &C
count Of the ''ovation''&hi Miss
Churchill received on returning home
after her now famous absence. She was
treated as a heroine by all except the
deaf residents of st. Louis, and her
father pledged himself that she should
never again be forced to .'practice."
| Why should not all girls who long for
fame and are anxious to become hero
ines run away from their pianos.
There is another incident of the
Churchill rOmanc which is OF much in
terest to thoughtful persons. Miss
| Churchill seems to have had a wild de-
sire to wash and iron clothing. This is
a curious survival of a feminine
instinct which at one time was universal
but which at the present time is prac-
tically unknown. A girl who prefers
the kitchen to the drawing-room, and
would rather wash and iron than prac-
tice on the piano, is as unusual as she
is admirable. May we not hope that in
this respect Miss Churchill's example
will bear precious fruit? If other girls,
anxious to see their portraits in the il
Illustrated papers, have not the courage
to run away kcM home, let them insist
upon washing and ironing the family
linen. They will earn favor at one
and reap rich harvests of husbands in
the early future.-N. Y. Times.

Among the Florida Indians are q

than any other member of the tribe can
r%ecollect, and the aged pair refuse to

that it must have been a hundred years

able to go about alone.-M. Y. Times.

Dynamite is one of the many
products or combination of nitro.
glycerine, and is about thirteen
times as powerful as gunpowder.
The discovery of this potent and
dangerous explosive was made in
1916, by Ascagne Sobrero, then q
pupil in the laboratory Of Pelouze,
the eminent French chemist, who
devoted twenty years of his life to
the investigation of the chemistry
of oils and fats.
Dynamite was patented in the
United States May 26, 1865, the
patent being granted to Alfred
Nobel, of Hamburg, Germany, u.s.
signor to John Baudmaun, Of San
Francisco. 1t consists of a COM
bination Of nitro.glycerine with a
substance of great absorbent pow
er, such, for instance, as fuller's
earth or rotten stone. By this
composition the explosivenoss Of
n
the uitro-glycerine is controlled,
as it were, and the compound is
capable Of outstanding all the
ORDINARY dangers Of transporter
ton, while at the same time its
Explosive power is not lesseDed,
The process Of manufacture is
very simple. You take a certain
proportion of nitric and sulphurit
acid, and mix them with certain
othcr proportions Of glycerine
which is the escense of fat, te
make the nitroglycerine. Tt
make dynamite you need only tt
mix nitro-glycorine with some ab
sorbent material--fuller's earth i;
the best-to have dynamite.
