We have often heard that there is
poetry in prose, and the following from
the Detroit Post seems to be a striking
example: GARNER has little lamb ;
its fleece fairfield too low and every
where the farmer goes that wool is
sure to 90. 1t followed him to Wash
ingtoD, into the caucus school, which
made Carlisle and Morrison say: This
is pretty COOL The speaker sagely
shook his head, and wisely gazad
about, and to his free trade pupil said F.:
Turn that strange creature outn But
when that frightful lamb baa-ed, and
round its eyeballs turned, that free
trade caucus, badly scared, Immediate
ly adjourned. And now they fear this
awful lamb, which territies them so
intends to sound its fearful baa again
at Chicago"

why "a Kerosene Lamp Bursts

Girls, as well as boys, need to un
derstand about kerosene explosions.
a great many fatal accidents happen
from trying to pour a little kerosene
Oh the.tire to make it kindle better,
also by pouring oil into a lamp while
it is lighted. Most persons suppose
that it is the kerosene itself which eX
plodes. and that if they are very care
full to keep the oil itself from being
touched 10y the fire or the light there
will he no danger. But this is not so.
If a can or a lamp is left about half
full of kerosene oil the oil will dry up
that is. 'evaporate' IA little and will
form, by mingling with the air iii the
upper part, very explosive gas. You
cannot see this gas any more than You
can see air. But if it is disturbed and
driven out, and blaze reaches it, there
will be Il terrible explosion, although
the blaze did not touch the oil. There
are several other liquids used in houses
and work shops which will produce an
explosive vapor in this way. Benzine
is one burning fluid is another; and
naphtha, alcohol, ether, chloroform
may do the same thing.
In New York workshop lately,
there was IA can of benZine or gasoline
on the floor. \ boy sixteen years old
lighted cigarette and threw the burn
ing match on the floor close to the can.
He did not dream there was any dan
ger, because the liquid was corked up
in the can. But there was great eX-
plosion and he was badly hurt. This
seems very mysterious. The proba-
bility is that the can had been stand
ing there a good while and good deal
Of vapor had formed, some of which
had leaked ont around the stopper and
was hanging in il sort of invisible
cloud over aud around the can; and
this cloud, when the match struck it,
exploded.
suppose a girl tries to fill kerosen,
lamp without first blowing it ont. O1
course the lamp is nearly empty OF she
would not care to fill it. This empty
space is filled with cloud of explosive
vapor arising from the oil III the lamp
When she pushes the nozzle of the can
into the lamp at the top, and begin,
to pour, the oil, running into the lamp
fills the empty space and pushes the
cloud of explosive vapor up: the vapol
is obliged to pour out over the edges
of the lamp, ut the top, into the room
outside. OF course it strikes against
the blazing wick which the girl is hold
ing down 10y one side. The blaze o
the wick sets the invisible cloud %
vapor a-tirc. and there is an explosion
which iguitcs the oil and scattcrs il
over her clothes and over the furnitur,
of the room. This is the way in whicl
Il Kerosene lamp bursts. The same
thing may happen when a girl pour.

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing TO the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulOus swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
riole itching of the skin, with burning and
da-ting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of amy
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELASD's direc-
ton. was supplied with AvER's SARsAPA-
RLLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used
