The action of dynamite in e

The action of dynamite in ex-
ploding is very simple. 1t has no
preference at all as to the direction in
which its force shall be exerted. Its
explosive power depends. as in the case
of all other explosives. on the sudden
formation of large volume of gas
eous body, whose immediate recon-
densatinn causes the air to rush in
violently to fill up the vacuum formed.

"A Pittsburgh chiropodist says ladies'
are bothered with corns on their toes
Just as well as gentlemen. but they bear
the pain more heroically. 1t is a mis-
take, however. to suppose that tight
boots and shoes always cause corns. If
that were so a lady's foot would be
covered with these excrescences. 1t is
the loose shoe which rubs against the
protuberances that brings on corns.
Some ladies do not get boots that fit
their feet exactly, and the result is the
same as for gentlemen. They do not,
however, shrek and yell as the male
sex. Years ago lady would not think
of consulting chiropodist. Now,
however. they seek relief from them
just as the sterner portion of humanity.

No Double Pensions Allowed.

The following Is from the assoc lated
press dispatches: Commissioner of
Pensions Black has decided that a
mother cannot be allowed a pension as
a dependent mother and pension
from her deceased husband for the
same period of time He says; up
on careful consideration of the laws
relating to the subject, | am of the
opinion that when two claims become
united in person, making only one
beneficiary, that that person cannot be
allowed, either directly or indirectly,
the benefit of two pensions for the
same period of time. Such allowance
would be contrary to the provisions of
the statute, which declares the pension
laws shall not be construed so as to
allow more than one pension in the
same time TO the same person.

WASHINGTON correspondents correct
the common impression that the salary
of the President is only $4,000 year.
The items are given which add $75,.
600 to the nominal salary, About one
hall of this $4,000 goes to pay the
clerks, secretaries and other subori-
mates, including the servants Of the
White House. Then under a separate
heading there is $4,000 for repairs,
$4,000 for stables, etc, $4,000 for the
green house, $4,000 for fuel and
sundry items, which make up the sum
mentioned. Nearly all of this $75,-
600 is devoted to expenses incidental
to a large private establishment. Not
more than $4,000 a year of the whole
Is used in payment of civil official
salaries, such as clerks, stenographers,
secretaries and messengers, whose
time is nominally devoted to public
business.

Nearsightedness In Childre N.

The Heath and Home, a journal
published at Washington City devoted
to domestic medicine, makes the fol-
lowing remarks upon the nearsighted-
ness in children: Encourage the
pupil to look off the book frequently
to change the focus OF sight by regard
ing some distant object. 1t is not
enough to look around vaguely; the
eye must be directed to something
which must be clearly seen, like a
picture or motto upon the wall, or
bit of decoration. The greatest dam
age to the eye of students is the pro.
tracled effort to focus the printed page.
1t was simply harbarous, the way we
used TO be wbacked in school when
we looked of the book. 1t is easy TO
the teacher to know the difference
between he resting OF the eye and the
idle gazing around that cannot be
allowed. We regard this rule as the
most important and the disregarding
of ii the most prolific of trouble

imum in 1853, when the sum of $65, 900,

An African Fashion.

Nearly every woman in East Africa
wears the "pelele." When she is a
little girl hole is pierced through the
middle OF the upper lip, and INTO this
is pressed a wooden bin to prevent the
puuctute from closing up. After a
time this is changed for larger pin,
and so ON until the hole is large enough
to admit ring. In proportion AS the
pelele is made gradually larger, so the
lip enlarges and comes to look like a
snout. An average specimen measures
one and one-fourlh inches in diameter
aud almost an inch in length. When
she becomes widow fashion compels
her to take out her pelele, the lips fall
and the great round hole shows the
teeth and jaw quite plainly, giving her
q hldeous appearance.
