They Mixed the Girls.
m the .Scoford Enterprise.

From the tSeoford Enterprise.
On large farm nearly in sight of the
quiet little town of fredericksburg, Md,
resides blooming young girl of twenty
two summers, also her cousin, two years
her senior. Both of them have beaus,
whom their stern old father and uncle
docs not approve of. The lover No. l
aud lis sweetheart, unbeknown to the
other parties, had made all their arrange
ments to steal off in the still OF the night
and get married. This was also the plan
of the contracting parties No. 2. The
ladder was hidden back OF the garden
for the purpose of scaling the walls az
the proper time. In the bewitching hours
of the night lover No. placed the ladder
to the window of girl Ne. 2. The night
was dark just at that time. She made
her exit out of the window and into the
arms of her supposed knight, and was
hurried off to the carriage near by. Not
word was spoken. The carriage was
gained and the la: h applied to the horses.
When they arrived at the house of the
preacher, who was waiting to tie the
knot, the gallant knight then discovered
that he had got the wrong girl. OF course
there were some salts and inward cuss
words, and the tug of war came-how to
get the weeping girl back undiscovered
Lover No. 2 met with an accident by

some other substance that takes up the
glycerine and makes a porous, spongy
mass.
Nitro glycerine was discovered by Sal
vero, an Italian chemist, in 1915. Dyna-
mite is prepared by simply kneading with
the naked hands % per cent. of infusoral
earth and - per cent. OF nitro glycerine
until the mixture assumes putty con-
Before mixing, the infusorial earth is
calcined i'll a furnace in order to burn out
all organic matter. and it is also sifted
to free it of large grains. While still
moist it is squeezed into cartridges. which
are prepared of parchment paper and the
firing is done by illuminate of silver ii
copper capsules provided with patent
exploders.
Nitro glycerine is made Of nitric acid
one part and sulphuric acid two parts, TO
which is added ordinary slycerine, aud
the mixture is well washed with pure
water. Tile infusion is composed of small
microscopic silicious shells, which have
lost their living creatures. The cellular
parts receive the nitro glyoeriuo ard hold
it by capillary attraction, both inside and
out. The earth is gerry light. Water
is expslled from it by means of "a furn-
ace, and then, in the form Of powder,
it is mixed with nitro glyceiire. Nitro
glycerine has sweet, aromatic, pnGg-
cut taste, and the peculiar property o!
causing a violent headache when paced
in small quantity on the tongue or
wrist. 1t freezes at 40 degrees F&hren

mass, which must be melted by the APP
plication of water at temperature of
about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

OF THE STUFF THAT STARTLES.
What Dynamite Is and How 1t is Made, With
Other Points About the Explosive.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Few people know what dynamite u.s.
though the word is in common use. 1t
is giant gunpowdsr; that is, an explo-
sive material, varying in strength and
safety of handling according to the per-
centage Of nitro lycerine it contains.
Nitro glycerine, whence it derives it's
strength, is composed of ordinary glycer-
inc and nitric acid compounded together
in certain proportions and at a certain
temperature. Nitro-g lJcerine, though
not the strongest explosive known, being
exceeded in power by nitrogen and other
products of chemistry, is thus far the
most terrible explosive manufactured to
any extent. Nitro-s lycerinc by itself is
not safe to handle, hence dynamite is
preferred. 1t is extensively made and
consumed in the United States, under
the various names of Giant, Hercules,
Jupiter and Atlas powders, all of which
contain anywhere from thirty to eighty
per cent. Of nitro glycerine, the balance
of the compound being made up of rotten
stone, non-explosive earth, sawdust, char
coal, plaster of Paris, black powder or

DOG MEAT AS MEDICINE.
A Man who Ate Fifteen Dogs and was Cured
of Bright's Disease.

The use of dog meat to cure Bright's
disease has come into notice by the &C.
count of the restoration of the health of
Samuel McGregor, farmer of St. Clair
county, Illinois, who, after spending
nearly all he was worth upon physicians
and patent medicines, was pronounced
incurable, but now is as healthy man
as walks. He traces his present vitality
to feeding upon the flesh of dogs, accord
ing to the advice of an old German wo-
man who learned of his hopeless condi-
ton. She insisted that he should COM
mence feeding on canine flesh and she
would guarantee his complete recovery,
or she would die in his stead. The idea
of eating dog meat was most nauseating
to McGregor, but, like drowning man
graspiug at straw, he resolved to diet
on dog flesh as last resort. He had be-
come so fond of dog meat that he could
hardly give up eating it, but the Juror
that had been produced in the locality
among the people who were missing their
dogs and the threats made against the
party who was taking them, warned him
that he must call hault. In all he ate
fifteen dogs.
Mr.. McGregor is firm in his faith that
he cured his terrible disease solely by
eating dog meat.

A chilling remembrance of all his

cried, in keenest disappointment

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has SEINE affection of the kidneys or
neghboring organs. At times symptoms
of indigestion are present, as tiatulency, I'M
easiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm, is a
common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the applica-
ton of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected, alb
sorbing the Tumors, aliaying the intense
itching, and affecting a permanent cure.
