Results of Dynamite.

The Bellevue Ohio Local Necs gives
the following account of the recent explo-
sion of dynamite in that place, of which a
brief mention was made by telegraph:
This Friday morning shock was felt
over the town that brought every one TO
their doors with frightened faces and for a
time it was thought we had been visited
by an earthquake. After few minutes
when the first excitement had abated,
everyone who knew that there was large
amount of nitro-glycerine at the old stone
quarry at Mt Pleasant, looked in that
direction. A reporter was Immediately
dispatched to Mt Pleasant to gain the
partl culars. On arriving there horrible
sight met his gaze all over the road and
hanging in the trees were shreds of human
flesh and bones, while large hole was dug
into the ground by the force of the explo-
sion. 1t seems, as near as can be learned,
that Mr.. Pinkney, of Toledo, natural
gas man, in company with Harry johnson,
an employee of Jacob Baughman, went to
the old quarry to get lot of nitro-glycer-
inc, which was to be used in shooting the
gas well. Mr.. Pinkney thought the stuff
was frozen, consequently harmless, and it
is supposed dug down to get it, when the
whole amount of 100 quarts, or 1873 pounds
exploded, blowing him and Mr.. johnson
to atoms The shock was so severe that
the windows in all the houses in that vi
cinity were blown out, and the whole
neighborhood looks as though it had been
visited by tornado.
At this writing, as we go to press, men
are picking up the remains of the unfor-
tunate men in baskets and preparing them
for burial. 1t is impossible to distinguish
either of the men as no piece larger than
a couple of pounds weight has been found.

MANIPULATIoN OF CoFFEEs.-The mu-
nicipal laboratory of Paris has been
engaged in examining the fraudulent
manipulation of cofiees, the fraud consist
ing in the manipulation of the green her
ries and the moistening of the dried.
During drying by heat, coffees lose from
II to 10 per cent. of their weight, accord
ing to their kind and age To compensate
this loss the dealers often endeavor to re-
place the water, but this is only practical
BILE by the condensation of steam in the
mass. Twenty per cent. of Sater may thus
be added without the coffee appearing
moist, but instead of being hard and crisp
between the teeth, the berries are tough
and elastic. Coffee which has been roasted
and then moistened, loses part of its water
on exposure to the air, and to prevent the
loss the grains are often coated with
giycerine, palm oil or even vasellne. The
densities of such coffees are higher than
those of normal roasted specimens-Boston
Budget.

The Gentleman and the Tiger,

As young officer doing duty with a
Madras cavalry regiment, Sir Edward
Bradford was keen sportsman. One dav.
when tiger shooting, he missed his mark"
and soon found himself in tigers clutches.
1t was an anxious moment, few of his
friends being at hand. As a sportsman of
experience, Sir Edward knew well that his
best course was to lie quietly and sham
death. The tiger surveyed his prey, looked
around, and, thinking all was safe, set
steadily to work to make its meal Taking
the young officers hand in his mouth. it
was steadily disposed of, and the arm was
eaten to the elbow before Sir Edwards
companions came up and released him.
The cool resolution OF the man in feigning
death had been the means of saving what
has since proved to be most valuable
life; for, as Sir Edward SAYS when telling
the story, had he moved or uttered even a
groap, the tiger would have put an end to
his existence before going on with his re-
past. OF course, the shattered arm had to
be removed from the shoulder. 1t NAV be
imagined what the suffering was which the
victim endured while lying, quite consci-

A farmer of the olden time in Washing
ton county, who had good many dollars
and was much attached to them. had also
lively, freckle-iaced nephew, as agile as
squirrel and as sharp as the old man him
self. The old gentleman's barn became in
tested with rats, and he told the boy that
he would give him 30 cents piece for all
the rats he would catch, alive, and show to
him. After two or three days little Ben
jamin came to old Benjamin and asked him
to step out into the barn. He did so, and
was conducted to big disused molasses
barrel that stood in the middle of the floor.
and asked him to look into it. And there
on the bottom was a wriggling mass of rats
three or four deep, struggling vainly to get
out of the barrel. My gerry !" exclaimed
the old gentleman. "Where'd you get all
these rats| Caught 'em here in the barn,
gran'sir." How many be they ?'
Eighty. That's Just $40, gran'sir."
Forty dollarsl Why, amt goin to pay
you all that money" " Amt you? Didn't
you agree to, gran'sir ?' Well. YES 4; but
| had no idea when did that you'd catch
such tarnation lot" " Over it goes then"
said the boy. Waiting to give the old
gentleman a chance to retract, which he
failed to improve, he upset the barrel, and
the rats poured out around the old mans
feet. With howl of terror he climbed
up on hay NOW, and the rats resumed
possession of the barn.-Leuciston (llIe.)

care for the stock is an evident cause of
loss to the farmer. Yet, how common suck
neglect is, all over the country. This stock
costs cash and labor, to buy, to raise, to
feed, and yet he who makes these expen-
ditures cheats himself of due return by
small neglects and careless inattention.
Such men have no right to say that farm
ing does not pay, for they do not give it a
fair chance
Similar losses occur in the preparation
and sale of farm products, and in sundry
other ways very obvious to the attentive
observer. 1t may be said by gainsayers
that if everybody concerned should reform
from all these evils, the production of our
farms would fall proportionately, and no
one would be bettered. | do not believe
this, because | do not believe that univer-
sal abundance can be a cause OF poverty
to any. But we can put that discussion
aside, because such a general Improvement
is not at all imminent, and therefore the
profit of il in individual cases Is in no way
hazarded. | believe that farming as now
pursued averages more than a fair living
TO all who are engaged in it, and there is
plenty of room for, and an EASY opening
into a kind of farming which is bound to be
satisfactorily profitable to any man COM
petent and resolutely purposed to make
that his business, and pursue It in thor
oughly business-like manner.

ORIGIN OF ENTHUSIASTICALLY early
barbarous times every savage was his
own law-giver, judge, soldier and po-
liceman, and had to watch over his own
safety, in default of other protection.
When two friends or acquaintance, or
two strangers desiring to be friends or ac-
quaintances, CHANGED to meet, each offered
to the other the right hand, the hand
alike of offense and defense, and the hand
that yields the sword, the dagger, the
club, the tomahawk or other weapon OF
war. Each did this to show that the hand
was empty, and that neither war nor
treachery was intended. A man cannot
well stab another while he is engaged in
shaking hands with him, unless he IS a
double-dyed traitor and villain and strives
to aim eowardly blow with the left while
giving the right and pretending to be on
good terms with him.-Erchdnqe

He traces subtle memories
Of passion, love and care.
The joys and griefs of childhood's years.
I he plots and schemes of age,
Impatient trown. sweet lovers tears,
Impress their marks on page
The flrrowed line, the wrinkle deep.

lnScribers steel, not even sleep
Its industry abates.

Like figured web of lace,
His busy chisel flies in dreams,
And scores the wax-like face
OF eraver's style leaves horrid scar,
lndent on brow and lip,
Where passion Inarred his touch so fine,
And caused his tool to sip.
But there are lines of God-like thought,
And nobler caste than these,
In which the sculptor gladly wrought.

SHE FED AND CLOTHED GENTUs.@Sev-

while dining with some literary people in
New York, called on his wife to help him
remember the name of certain wonderful
mountain view in Switzerland. "Switzer-
land !" she exclaimed, q remember moth
ing about it, except that there was but one
inn there where you could get chop fit to

afterward by bis friends for the poet who
was linked for life to so coarse and dull a
nature. They did not know that the
homely little woman, by her constant
drudgery and tender care, fed and clothed
this sensitive genius, and stood between
him and the rough world, giving him
quiet and leisure in which to sing his song.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
sbled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes in
evitable. In many instances the inherent
strength of the body suffices to enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many,
however, have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
other cases a little aid to the weakened
lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms of cough,
cold or any trouble of the throat or lungs,
