A Remarkable Accident

A pacific coast paper records the
following remarkable accident; ''On
Saturday, the 18th inst, 25O pound
fragment of stump that was blown
out of the ground with giant powder,
near Tacoma, w. T., flew past Mr..
+. Frazier, who was Witnessing the
process from a standpoint 420 feet
away 1t struck the ground close by
him, just grazing him, yet so graet
was its force that it tore his clothes
from his body, rent his boots so that
his feet were left bare, crushing the
bones of both feet. Mr.. Frazier, who
is 60 years of age, was completely par
alyzed by the blow, and was insensible
for twenty minutes. With the excep-
ton of being partially crippled in his
feet. he will suffer no serious incon-
venience from the accident,

A Big Bakery.

A monster bakery is about to be
erected in Moscow, which, it is stated,
when in working order, will reduce
the present price of bread in that city
By something like % per cent. This
enterprise is in the hands of company
disposing of capital of 100000
roubles, raised in shares of 1000
roubles each. The cost of building
the necessary premises, together with
the requisite steam appliances for the
company. is estimated at $4,000 rou-
bles. The quantity of bread to be
baked daily is set down at $4,000
kiios. Rye as well as wheaton bread
will be baked and daily dispatched to
forty different commodious shops in
the city to be sold. The whole of this
vast mass of bread is to be baked in
five separate ovens.

What Trains Carry.

The railway reporter of The Laramie
Boomerang was in reflective mood
the other day and in default of Incl
dents threw off the following interest
ing bit of nothingness: There is
nothing more curious to the close OBJ
server than to watch the trains as they
cross the continent over the big roads
and see the curiosites in the way of
freight as well as the variety and
character of the passengers they carry.
Especially is this noticeable on the
fast freights now running, and which
pass through Laramie in the evening.
There are to be seen whole train-loads
CT oysters from Baltimore, consigned
to San Francisco firms, one of those
trains going out last night. A second
section took more oysters and several
carloads of eggs from Omaha for the
west; steam fire engine for San Fran
cisco, car after car of wagons, and
several coach-loads of emigrants.
These are but specimens of what is
carried west, and going east there are
seen trains of wire, tea, honey, and
silk. cars of fine horses and cattle,
now and then car of sea-lions, and
all such things. There is not train
goes by that does not interest one who
reads the labels on the doors as it
lies on the platform resting for its long
Journey east or west. The passenger
trains, too, have among their loads
noticeable features, and now and then
an especially distinguished party.

Pacific lines ever have an opportunity
to see. Generals, governors, senators,

DUST To DUST.

Dust to dust:
Fall and perish love and lust:
Life is one brief Autumn day;
Sin and sorrow haunt the way
To the narrow house OF clay,
Clutching at the good and just:
Dust to dust.
Dust to dust:
Still We thrive and toll and trust,
From the cradle to the grave,
Yainlv crying "Jesus, save"
Fall the coward and the brave,
Fall the fclon and the just:
Dust to dust.
Dust to dust:
Hark, hear the-wiutry gust;
Yet the roses bloom to-day,
Blushing to the kiss OF May,
While the north winds sigh and say;
''Lo, we bring the cruel FROST
Dust to dust"
Dust to dust:
Yet we live and love and trust,
Lifting burning brow and eye
To the mountain peaks on high:
From the peaks the ages cry,
Strowing ashes, rime and rust,
Dust to dustl"
Dust to dust:
What is gained when all is lostl
Gaily for day we tread
Proudly with arerted head
O'er the ashes of the dead
Blind with pride and mad with lust:
Dust to dust.
Hope and trusts
All life springs from out the dust:
All, We measure God by man,
Looking forward but span
On His wondrous, boundlcss plan;
All His ways are wise and just;
Hope and trust.
Hope and trust:
Roses spring from mortal dust:
Love is queen: Gods throne is hers
His great heart with loving force
Throbs throughout the universe;
We are His and He is just;
Hope and trust.
