HERE AND THERE.

There is an immense increase In
grape culture in South Carolina,
State which has some of the largest
and best vineyards in the South.
"A gentleman at Gadsden, Ala, has
this season cleared over 5000 on
Strawberries produced ON fifty acres Of
ground.
Major Hord says that Middle and
West Tennessee have the best fruit
crop that has been known for ten
years. The yield in East Tennessee IL
comp aratively light on account Of late
frosts.
1t has been suggested that the
most economical mode of using butter
milk is to give it to the young pigs and
also the laying hens, as it promotes
growth of body and assists in the pro-
duction eff eggs.
Crystal Springs, Miss, has become
really famous fruit and vegetable
growing section. Recently eleven car
loads of Strawberries and eight of peas
were shipped from there to Northern
markets, where good prices are paid
for such early products.
The wheat crop all over Tennes-
see is much finer than it was expected
wherever heard from. In several
counties the crop, it is thought, will
average twenty bushels to the acre,
large crops running as high as thirty
and thirty-fve bushels to the acre.

Exposed For Week to Terrible Privations,
a Man Dies After Rescue.
BRECKENRIDGE, Col, Aug. 90 o. Lee
left this city August 10 for Silver Pass
over Argentine Pass. He reached the top
of the range about dark and missed the
road at very dangerous place, and by
following an abandoned trail undertook to
cross broken bridge. Missing his foot
ing he was precipitated to the bottom Of
the gully, distance of . feet. An arm
was broken and both legs were broken in
two places. In this condition the traveller
remained on the mountain for q
period of six days and six nights without
food or drink, exposed to the severe storms
which have prevailed during the entire
month. On the sixth day traveller hap
pening to cross the range found the man
conscious, but unable to speak, as his
tongue was so swollen as not to permit ar
ticulation. After giving the sufferer q
drink of water the rescuer went for as.
sistance distance of fifteen miles and on
his return found the man still alive, but
unconscious. Hc was borne to carriage
and placed upon a comfortable cushion
and the painful journey to medical aid be-
gan, but before they had gone five miles
the man died.

EXPLOSIVE COAI-OuST.
Suggestions in Explanation of the AIajorit,
of Coiliery Explosions.

Suggestions in Explanation OF the Majority
ofCoiiiery Explosions.
Prof. Arnold Lupton, in q lecture
| delivered under the auspices of the
coal mining department Of Yorkshire
colliery, at Leeds. England, said that
in the case of colliery explosions it
had been taken for granted that fire.
damp or marsh gas was the cause, and
the eyes OF inquirers had been closed
TO every other cause. French mining
/ engineers appeared to have been the
first to suggest coal dust as q cause of
explosions, but in 1876. Mr.. William
Galloway, then her Majesty 5 Inspector
OF Coal Mines, sent paper to the
Royal Society, in which he gave the
| evidence OF experiments and investiga-
lions, TO prove that coal dust was the
prime agent of destruction in colliery
explosions. This paper he followed
up with others. Other mining en-
gineers then took up the inquiry; the
Royal Accident Commission, Prot.
Abel, the Prussian Fire-Damp Com
mission, and others, made expert
ments: but to Mr.. Galloway belonged
the chief credit of the discovery that
coal dust is the main agent in colliery
explosions. The experiments and in
vestigations proved that very fine coal
dust stirred up with air was -ex-
plosive, and also that coal dust
not SO fine was explosive in an
atmosphere containing only one per
cent. of gas, percentage TOO
small to be detected by the ordinary
methods. He then, with the aid of
numerous diagrams, described a num-
Der OF colliery explosions in various
coal fields in Glamorganshire, Derby
shire, Yorkshire, Durham and Scot
land. He said that with the knowl-
edge now gained it was easy to UNDER
stand disasters that were incompre-
hensible on the assumption that fire.
damp was the cause. The Parks
explosion in 1866 was probably coal
dust explosion, SO was the Queen Pit,
Haydock and many others. Some of
these pits he had himself explored
few hours after the explosion. At
Seaham Colliery the force of the ex-
plosion of coal dust was probably
equal to the explosion of $4,000 pounds
OF gunpOwder. He then proceeded to
describe the cause OF coal dust, and
the means of laying the dust by high
pressure water jets and other means;
and in conclusion states that several
results were now plain: O That
coal dust was as dangerous as fire.
damp or loose gunpowder; (2) that
the coal dust could be laid easily,
cheaply and with economic effects. and
that as a result of this not only would
the death rate from colliery explosions
be reduced by So per cent, but the
health and comfort of the miners
would be improved.-CoAieyy Eegi-

GOING INTO MOURNING.
Outward Trappings of Woe Which, Can Be
Treated witt. Caustic Ridicule.


There are certain aspects of Chris
tian burial which have grown so dis
cordant with our more intelligent
forms of social life that they have be-
come even ludicrous, and can, there
fore, be most wholesomely treated
with the caustic OF ridicule. The most
conspicuous Of these is covered and
described by the comprehensive name
of mourning" l have heard bril-
liant society belle sorrowing bitterly
over the fact that, just as her most
impressive costumes were prepared
for a seasons campaign. the demise of
a distant relative made it necessary
for her to .'go into mourning'-a fact
which had but the one compromising
circumstance, that ''black was becOm-
ing TO her."
In all the large cities stores may be
found where the lnortuary expert can
determine to Il shade the style of dress
that constitutes ''full mourning" and
where the length of a vail is solemnly
regarded as expressive of what Mr..
Mould termed ..filial affection" There
is mourning jewelry," mourning
visiting cards. mourning station

his loyalty to these ''modes and shows
of grief to the extent of having the
blue ribbons that adorned his night
gown soleInnly replaced with black!
But the CHASTITY humor reaches its
climax in the contemplation of .'half-
mourning" or ''second mourning"
This symboiizes sorrow vanishing
through the min;stration of the MILL
ner and the mantua maker! 1t is an
Interesting but certainly not an eiify-
ing sight to see Il blooming young
