The Dangers Of Gasoline.

The Michigan State Board of
Health, in circular just published,
gives the following succinct rules for
the use and care OF gasoline. Every
person employing or keeping gaso-
line should keep constantly in mind
the following facts and cautions re-
speeding its use:
|. Gasoline is an extremely dan
gerous, explosive substance. 2. 1t
should be kept in cool, we'll venti-
lated place, if possible out OF doors,
or III an outbuilding, never in a
kitchen, closet, or cellar. 8. A ves-
sci containing gasoline, unless tight
ly closed, should never be brought
within ten feet of lamp, stove, CRATE
flame, or fire Of any sort. The small
fame of match or even spark il
sufficient to explode the gas wher
present in sufficient quantity. 4
The vapor Of gasoline may be car
ried by draught or current OF air
and thus be brought in contact witt
fire at considerable distance, even
greater than that mentioned in the
preceding paragraph, consequently
gasoline should never be opened OF
poured from one vessel to another il
a current of air, unless the curren
is from the room ont of doors. 5
The danger in connection with thu
use of gasoline stoves is not so mucl
ia the stoves themselves as in hav-
ing the gasoline about, yet. by con-
tinued use, the valves of stove be-
come worn, so that leaks may occur
and thus stove may become
source OF great danger. 6. IT al
overflow of gasoline occurs from be
ing turned on too freely. from leak

What Flowers Will Grow in the
Shadep

What Flowers VIII Grow In the
Shadep
The question, "What flowers will
grow in the shade?" is put to me
every spring, says the editor of the
Horticultural Times, by scores of city
people whose little garden, which
they wish to devote to flowers, is 60
walled up by neighboring houses
that the direct rays of the sun never.
touch it. But few plants will devel-
OPP their flowers there, and none will
do it so well as if it were lighted up
by sunshine part of the day. Fu--
chsias, pansies, forget.me nots, vic :
let's, lobelias, lily Of the valley, hol-
lyhocks, phloxes, and other herbace-
GUS plants whose native habitat is
shady wood, will do best, but even
these anguish if denied all direct
sunlight. The best effect in such
situations is produced by ornamental
leaved plants, the beauty OF which is
not dependent upon their flowers.
Among these may be ranked the gold
and silver variegated leaved geran-
iums, achyranthes, alternantheras,
begonlas, caladiums, cen:aureas
coleuses, etc., which, if planted so as
to bring the various shades in con-
trast, produce a pleasing effect,
which continues during the entire
summer months, and is not surpassed
by any display Of flowers. The cul-
tivators of flowers in rooms should
understand the necessity of sunlight
to plants that are to flower, and en-
deavor to get these as close as pos.
sible to a window having an eastern
orssouthern aspect. The higher the
Temperature, the more plants suffer
from want of light. Many plants
might remain semi-dormant in a tenn
perature of forty degrees-in eel
lar, fer examp!e-away from direct
Eight, for months, without material
injury; while if the cellar contained
furnace keeping temperature OF
seventy degrees, they would all die;
such would particularly be the case
with plants of a half hardy nature,
such as monthly roses, carnations,
fuchsias, geraniums, etc. In our
greenhouse culture of flowers, direct
sunlight is an all important consid-
GRAFTON, and spell of sunless wealth
er in midwinter is often loss to us
OF hundreds Of pounds, by prevent
ing the development of flowers.
Hence We use every means at COM
mand to dispose the plants to secure
the greatest amount OF light. The
facilitating effects of want Of direct
light on plants are we'll illustrated
by taking vigorous plant in full
light of our greenhouse benches, and
placing it under the bench. 1t the
temperature is high-say seventy de-
grees-in forty-eight hours the sickly
signs showing want Of light will be
apparent to an experienced eye, in a
week its condition would be such as |
to indicate sickness to most common
observer, and in a month it would,
most likely, he dead.

SEEKING A DIVORCE.

The Proceedings Hastened by Street
 Encounter in Syracuse.
 SYRACUSE, N. Y., Jan. 6.-Papers were nrved yesterday upon Eugene Mccarthy, of this city, in behalf of his wife, who seeks a divorce for principal cause. This course on the part of Mrs. Mccarthy was undoubt- edly hastened by encounter which her husband had on Christmas eve with young man of this city, who thrashed him for an alleged insult to a lady of their mutual ac- quaintance. MT. Mccarthy, who is a nephew of the late Senator Dennis Mccarthy, and son of State Charity Commissioner Robert Mccarthy, is about 30 years of age, and his position in society in Syracuse is not disputed. His wife is one of the most beautiful women in the city, and was mar ried at her home in Montclair, N. J., about five years ago. She is an heiress in her own right, and, it is said, paid for her husbands interest in the firm of Robert Mccarthy & Son, wholesale dealers in hardware. The prosecution of the suit will develope start ling sensation,

 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 6-John E. Clark, prominent young grocer, was severely cowhided in his store Wednesday night by Mrs. Annie Talliaferro, of New York. Clark's wife is a sister of Mrs. Tallia- ferro's, husband According to Mrs. Tallia- ferro's story, Clark visited them in New York, and. during her husbands absence, insulted her. and she ordered him out of the house.
 He afterward inveigled her husband into houses of ill repute, and finally persuaded him to desert her, giving him employment in this city. Mrs. Talliaferro followed her husband to Jacksonville, only to find that he had left the city. After her arrival she en- deavored to get employment in order to sus- tain herself and child. She succeeded, but Clark did not cease his persecution. He wrote letter to her employer and attempted to blacken her character.
 "He continued his endeavor to injare me, n said Mrs. Talliaferro, ''until patience ceased to be a virtue, and having no other means of redress went to his store and told him I had come to demand satisfaction. He made a sneering reply, and I drew the cowhide and laid it across his face and shoulders until he took to his heela" Mrs. Talliaferro is 10 years old, and very handsome

UNDER TONS, OF IRON.
Two Men Killed and Four Fatally In' jured by the Breaking of 8 Viaduct.

Two Men Killed and Four Fatally In.
 jured by the Breaking of viaduct.
 CLEVELAND, Jan. 6.-Shortly before o'clock yesterday afternoon the new central viaduct over Central Way gave way and fell to the ground, over sixty feet below, with terrible crash. The huge sleeper which is used on top of the viaduct went down with the wreck, burying fourteen workmen beneath the debris. The accident came without seconds warning. Suddenly the two spars over Central Way fell as if sawed off from the structure.
 Two men were crushed to death instantly, and while their mutilated bodies could be seen they could not be taken from the ruins by reason of the vast weight piled on them. One of the spars was 150 feet and the other 30 feet in length.
 Assistance was at once on hand and the work of recovering the dead and wounded began. H. c. Burton and another man named Hardy were taken out dead. while R. D. Hamlin, Charles Ord, John Borden and Alexander Emanelson were dangerously injured. Hardy, the first man taken from the wreck, was an awful sight. He was pinned beneath a mass of broken beams and iron, and when lifted up his head, severed from the body, rolled into the gutter.
 The wounded were all taken to Huron Street hospital, where an examination of their wounds was made. |. is feared that all are fatally hurt Several men were at work below the bridge, but all escaped.
 The cause of the accident is thus explained: The 'traveler" is a huge engine-like affair that runs along the top of the structure, and by it the iron work is carried out in advance on the cantilever plan. Just in front of the ''traveler'' is smaller car. which holds water for the engine in the 'traveler," and is also used by workmen as tool box. The accident resulted from an oversight in per- mitting the water carrier to run too far out on the end of the wooden trestle work, which is erected in advance of the iron work. The carr fer ran over the end of the trestle, and plunged down, carrying the wooden sup ports, and these in turn crashed against the ye5 insecure iron work, carrying down with it the next two spans.

Suppressing Christianity in Turkey.

BOSTON, Jan. 6.-Intelligence received at the rooms of the American board here shows that the Turkish government is revising its school laws, with the aim of suppressing American and other foreign schools The new law provides that no foreigner can open a school without a special frman given by the sultan himself, and such documents he is very slow to give. The law forbids any Ottoman subject from attending such a school, and he shall have taken a course of religious training in his own schools, while foreign schools are to abstain entirely from religious instructions Tho schools now ex- isting are to be suppressed unless they con- form to these regulations within six months. As a large amount of capital is invested in educational institutions in Turkey, our min ister has protested against this law, and urges other embassies to in him.
