EXPLODED BY A BASE BALL
A Dynamite Cap in Eddie Towards
Pocket Will Cause His Death.

very peculiar and sad accident occurred
Wednesday in Brownsville, Me. Some of the
young men and boys had gathered on the play
ground in the center OF the village and were
engaged in ball game. 1t had progressed for
several innings, when Edgar s. Howard, four
teen years old, went in to bat. Almost the first
ball sent to him was wildly pitched, and the
players and crowd were shocked when they
saw it strike him in the stomach. An ex-
plosion followed in an instant which en-.
yeloped him in cloud of smoke.
The boy had been near some railroad
construction work which is in progress and had
been given a dynamite cap. When he went to
play ball he put the cap in his pocket and for
got all about it. The ball had struck fairly
upon the pocket, causing the cap to burst with
terrible effect. The whole aeshy portion of the
lads right arm was blown away, but his other
injuries were even more severe, for the death.

Grating the flesh in a frightful manner None
OF the spectators expected to see the little fell
low taken up alive, but it was found that death
had not instantly resulted. He was cal ried to
the house Of his father, wealthy citizen, and
was breathing at last accounts, but was not ex-
pected to survive long.

Hidden Treasure in Allahabad.

from the ST. James Gazette.
The Allahabad papers received by the incom-
Ing mail describe a curious search for treasure
believed to be buriedi in the Afford park in that
town 1t seems that some years before the
mutiny the then prime minister of the king Of
Delhi resigned his appointment and brought
his family and worldly possessions to Alfalfa
bad, where he built large house and an under
ground chamber to keep his jewels and treas
ure. This latter is said to have included a lakh
OF gold mohurs, Of the kind now valued at
tweSty-elght rupees each. Shortly before the
mutiny he died, and during the disturbance his
family He'd, covering up the chamber as best
they could. When order was restored line of
barracks was constructed by order Of Lord
Canning on the site of the village in which the
ex~premiers house was built, and the existence
OF the underground chamber was forgotten by
all except some relatives, who on trying to reach
II on one occasion were SO stung by hornets
which they had disturbed that il was taken as a
sign that il was Gods will that the treasure
should be reserved for a future generation. In
course OF time the barracks were also demol-
ished and the present park laid out. Recently
the existence OF the treasure was brought to
the attention of Capt. Hamilton an old resident
OF Allahabad, who had helped TO prepare the
site for the barracks. He obtained as much in
formation as could be got from the existing

and tney soon came upon some masonry; but
unfortunately young cobra was unearthed inst
then, and the men refused to work any more

cobras, and that IL was act Of sacrilege to dig

From the New York Sun.
young law student in big downtown law
office, who. after persistent effort. had at last
secured an appointment as notary public, cele-
brated the victory two months ago by giving
dinner to his intimate friends. He said with
glowing confidence that the appointment in
sured him a bonanza in the way of fees that
would defray much Of the expense of the prose-
cution of his legal studies. He forthwith spent
$40 in getting an elaborate frame for his GER
tlficate of appointment and hung it up in his

having an ornate stamp die made and prepared
to hail with becoming dignity the advent Of

monotonously for days on the Office chair in
front OF new S35 desk that he had bought
upon which to place papers to receive the
stamp. One OF his friends hailed him as he was
coming up William street yesterday with dis

''How's the new Office go?"
GOSH! exclaimed the new-fedged notary
with sorrowful emphasis, ''this notary business

The Value of the Scissors.

From the Buffalo Courier
In the last number of Harper's Bazaar Thomas
Wentsorth Higginson has a thoughtful and
entertaining paper ON Writing for syndicates +"
The best bit OF advice in the paper is the fol-
lowing: The way to obtain a wide hearing is
not to print in the periodicals which have the
largest subscription list, but to say something
50 timely and so effective that every periodical
in the land shall be obliged to COPY it.
Not the pen alone, not types alone. but
the scissors rule mankind Probably
the sentence you plan expressly for i'm
mortality will never get there; but to find some
of-hand phrase of which YOU at the time
thought nothing-to find this echoing from
corner to corner of every country newspaper,
until 1t Is sent back to you IN marked copy Of
the Alaskan RecordeT-this Is to secure hear
ing such as no mere syndicate can give The
remark about the scissors may cause thought
less people to smile, but there is in il world
Of truth. Fortunate, indeed, is the newspaper
or other publication that has pair of intelli-
gent, versatile and otherwise well-eouipped
scissors.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat

than the market requires. Col William Duncan
OF South Carolina has therefore made a sug-

number Of Carolina newspapers and melon
growers-this is the manufacture Of sirup from
the melon. Col. Duncan insists that the Melon
can be more easily and more generally raised
than the sugar cane, and as it grows above
ground 1t Is more conveniently cultivated than
the sugar beet. He has experimental in the
manufacture Of sirup from melons, and finds
IT excellent, more like preserves than the cane

with every one who tries it. He has made the
slrup and sold it and found no difficulty in get
