The Camci's Food.

a camel, like horse, must be filled
with food. 1t is useless to expect either
of these animals TO live Oh highly con-
centrated food alone. For one or two
or three days they will be no worse If
they get little grain without hay or
straw or grass, but they pine away after
that unless they have quantity as well
as quality. The camel in India is quite
comfortable with booza, that is to say.

its under side sharp fllnts set at an
angle in the wood and drawn by bull
locks. OF course the camel thrives best
on jungle feeding, especially leaves and
succulent branches of tress. They also
thrive on stalks of maize or sorghum OF
doura or mlllet.

he goes sick. And on march his
habits-to say nothing Of the noisome
stencil of the creature-are thus very
aggravating. The camels which went
up from Korti to Gakdul filed them
selves there at the tank made by the
guards, and two days latter drank
again, but not with such avldity. The
following day and the morning of tha
start they would not drink. The pro-
verb about taking horse to the water
must have originated about a camel.

Unknown Hungarian miner of Mount

# the Black Diamond mine, near the

whether they will come TO the surface
If the earth alive.
The men were engaged IN mining
coal about ten O'Clock this morning,
working in breasts or chambers, pitch
ing at 60 degrees. The cracking of
timber in the gangway told them that
1 rush and fall Of coal was abont to
occur, and, to escape. the miners
dashed down into the narrow tunnel.
Nearshelski and Rucush were ten feet
in advance of the rest, when suddenly
mass OF coal and rock dropped in
front of them. choking up the entrance
into the main gallery. AS they turned
ibout TO escape the falling stuff an
other mass Of rock and timber stopped
their retreat, completely isOlatiDg the
men from their comrades.
An alarm spread through the mine,
and the work of rescue commenced
Immediately. AT 4 O'Clock this after
noon the laborers heard faint sounds of
voices. Eagerly pushing their work,
two hours later the rescuing miners
were enabled to hold conversation
with Rucush, who informed them of
his own and companions safety. A
bunch Of rsgeed-top rock is hanging
directly over the mems heads, and may

FOOD Fee THOUGHT.

How cunningly nature hides every
wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity
under roses and violets and morning
dew.
Self, trained in the best way and
developed In the noblest parts, is ever
giving itself out for the welfare Of
others.
After trying for more than forty
years to have my own way, 1 have
finally come to the conclusion to split
the difference.
L. The affections, like the conscience,
are rather to he led than driven; and 1t
is to be feared that they who marry
where they do not love will love where
they do not marry.
Political honors are easy when rich
man can buy them.
Aflllction is a school OF virtue; it
corrects levity and interrupts the con-
1dence of SHINING,
1t is doing some service to humanity
to amuse innocently; and they know
very little of society who think we can
bear to be always employed either In
duties or meditationS without any
relaxation.
Those things are generally best re-
membered which ought most to be for
gotten. Not seldom the surest remedy
of the evil consists in forgetting it.
Never build after you are five and
forty, have five years. income in hand
before you lay brick, and always
calculate the expense double the esti-
mate.

AUCKLAND. March 14.-Advlces
Just received from Samoa show that
there was no bass for the sensational
rumor OF the sinking Of the United
States man-of-war Nipsic by the Ger
man corvette Olga. Far from this, the
German officials on the island have en-
tlreiy given up their aggressive policy.
The proclamation OF martial law has
been publicly withdrawn. and the Ger.
mans have abandoned all claim to
the right Of searching incoming
vessels for contIabands of war. Both
these steps have met with the hearty
approval of all foreign residents at
Apia and have had quieting effect.
Unusual tranquility prevails through
out the island. Mataafa, however, has
a force of troops estimated to be 5000

about 700 men. The men-of-war, both
German and American, still remain at

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.

FIVE MEN KILLED AND ELEVEN
INJURED. ONE FATALLY.
PITTsBURG, March 14.-A battery
Of boilers at The West Point Boiler
Works of r. Monroe & Sons. on the
corner Of Twenty.third and Smallman
streets, exploded shortly after IL
o'clock this afternoon, completely
wrecking the plant and burying a
number of men in the ruins. -Four
have been taken out dead and three
badly injured, and there are still u
number i'll the ruins. A dozen Others
were quite seriously injured. Some of
them it is thought fatally.
The explosion occurred just after the
noon whistle had sounded, and many
Of the workmen had left the works to
get their dinners. The conclusion
sheok buildings for several squares.
In a few minutes a large crowd had
gathered about the wreck, and the
scene was most agonizing. Wives,
mothers and children ran wildly about,
wringing their hands and crying,
eagerly searching tor their loved ones.
The first body removed was that OF tho
engineer, Limbaugh. He was almost
unrecognlzab,e. Allenbache's remains
were next taken out, and In few mIn-
utes the mangled body of Clark was
found. Remheimer, Corner and an
unknown were next removed.
The work Of rescue is going on Wig
orously, but at IL O'Clock no more
bodies had been recovered. Four are
believed to be still buried beneath the
debris and it is feared that more were
caught in the wreck. The cause of the
explosion has not been learned. The
building was large one-story brick
structure and was formerly occupied by
William Smith 81 Sons, pipa manufac-
turers. The plant was valuable one
and will prove complete loss. Moth
ing remains but mass of brick, NOR
tar and timbers. The conclusion shat

three blocks.
AT 2 o'clock the body of James
Carton, helper, aged % years, and
unmarried was taken out, making five
dead removed from the ruins.
The boilers were inspected six
months ago, and were thought to be in
nrst-class condition. The real cause
OF the explosion Will probably be never
known, as the engineer was killed
outright. and no one else has been
found who was In the engine room at
the time the disaster took place.
The work of rescue was concluded
late this afternoon, but no more bodies
were found. All the employees have
been accounted for. OF the 80 work.
men five were killed and eleven in-
iured, number of them quite seri,

the only one in dangerous condition.
He will probably die.

injured is as follows:
