SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

Scrupulously Avoid the Use of Saw.Dust
to Collect OIL Drippings.
Among the results brought to light by
recent investiga tions Of the sources OF
spontaneous combustion, is the fact that
saw-dust should never be used in oil
shops or warehouses, to collect dr:ppings
or leakages from casks. Dry vegetable
or animal oil is found to inevitably
take fire when saturating cotton waste,
at $50 deg. Fahrenheit. and spontane.
Gus combustion occurs moro quickly
when the cotton is soaked with it's own
weight of oil. The addition of 40 per cent
of mineral oil--density .S9O--of great Wis
costly, and emitting no inflamma bic va
pors, even in contact with an ignited
body at any point below 33s deg
Fahrenheit, is sufficient to prevent
spon taneous combustion, and the addi-
tion of 20 per cent of the same mineral
oil doubled the time necessary to pro-
duce spontaneous combustion. Danger
is involved in patent dryers" from
leakage into sawdust, etc., oily waste
of any kind, or waste cloths of silk or
cotton, saturated with oil, varnish or
turpentine; also linseed oil cask drip
pings into q sponge, glycerine or oil
of any kind leaking into sawdust, and
oily turnings mixed with sawdust;
rust from gun barrels kept some
time under water, scraped and put in
parcel in pocket; bituminous coal in
large heaps of pit coal, fastened by
wet, and especially when pyrites are
present in the coal-the larger the heaps
the greater the liability. Oil on flour.
or water on flour, is productive of
spontaneous combustion. In fact all Or
ganic structures, being largely COM
posed of carbon and hydrogen, are
steadily excited, because of the affinity
of the hydrogen for oxygen, both of
which are in an allatropic state (that is
in state unusually ready to combine). i.

that brings carbohydrate in connec-

John Slate had pointer dog which
he called Bob He was well-bred
dog and liked to hunt, but not in the
regulation manner, preferring to scour
the woods on his own account leaving
the hunter to do the same.
No amount of whipping avalled to
keep him in; therefore, as help to the
hunter he was not success.
One day, John, with several other
hunters, went out cunning for grouse.
Four men and two dogs made up the
party, Bob" being one of them.
AS soon as he got the word TO hunt
'em up" he started like flash, and for
half an hour they saw no more Of
Bob"
At last John discovered him standing
on dead point and Immediately
yelled to his comrades to Come up;

The whole calvacade moved slowly
forward, ready to empty their rifles into
the first thing that flew through the air.
They gradually closed around the dog,
which was now pointing at some object
apparently not six feet away, and which
utterly refused to move another inch.

He moved slowly and cautiously in

chagrin and rage, JOHN turned around

THE PARDONlNG POWER.

Why It Should Never lse Exercised With
out Careful Dellberation.
"A man in the Massachusetts, State
prison, aftor serving fifteen years of a
thirty years. sentence, was recently par
doned out by the Governor.
1t all reports were true, he was an ex-
emplary prisoner, gentlemanly, indus
trious, quiet and well-behaved. His
conversation with visitors was so intel
ligent, and evinced such high concep-
tions of morality and manhood, that
they went away with the idea firmly i'm
planted that the man was suffering un-
place for such good and pure man.
Philanthropic women were moved to
compassion by the spectacle of this
noble man suffering felon's doom, and
at once began to circulate petition beg
ging the Governor to pardon him. Infiu-
entail clergymen exerted themselves in
his behalf, eulogizing his virtues and
expressing their firm belief in his full
reformation. At length the Governor
was prevailed upon to pardon him.
This embodiment of all the virtues
was once again turned loose into So
ciety, which had so loudly clamored for
his mpanionship.
In two months after his pardon, he
decoyed his own brother to a distant
town in New Hampshire, sent bullet
through his heart, cut off his head and
arms, and buried his body in the woods.
This is the kind of saint the pardoned
prisoner Isaac Sawtel]e turned out to be-.
His case illustrates the ease with
which shrewd prisoners can work upon
the feelings of impassionate women
and philanthropic but hardly level
headed men. 1t is easy for criminal
to be good when there is no opportunity
for him to be vicious, and when q SIM
ulated virtue may obtain him a pardon.
Thousands of signatures could be oh
tained on petition for the pardon of
the most hardened criminal, If the peti,
ton were presented by an experienced
and persuasive solicitor.
For these reasons the pard0ning pow
er should never be exercised until after
the most careful deliberation and inves-
tigation. Many. 2 criminal in the last
stages of consumption has deve, 1ped an
amazing vitality, and lived to a good old
age after being pardoned out of prison.
Criminals are alepts in deception. For
this reason the most deliberate care
should be exercised in granting pardons s.

EARLY last month the Primitive Moth,
odist Chapel at leighton Buzzard, Bed

the fire breaking out one night after q
harvest festival, and only the front
and two side walls were loft standing.
Before the oonflagration occurred a
marriage had been arranged to take
place at the chapel between young
man and young woman resident in
the town.
In spite of the disastrous event that
had happened, the wedding party as.
sembled on the spot at the appointed
hour, and, space inside the doorway
having been cleared, the ceremony was;
celebrated amid the ruins. The regis

A romantic wedding occurred at Mauch
Chunk, in Pennsylvania, on August "a.
There is switchback railway on a
large scale in that romantic spot, and
the wife of the owner had invited some
friends to share a moonlight ride over
the novel road. The party was about
starting on the homeward journey down
the mountain side, when two gentlemen
and lady approached the owner and
asked permission to return with them.
Said one of the gentlemen, pointing tc
the lady:
'This is my prospective bride. About
ten years ago we agreed that when we
were married we would have the knot
tied on the SWITCH back. We had a lovers
quarrel and l went to San Francisco.
About year ago we began correspond
ing again, and on Sunday night We de.
termined to carry out our intention. We
wanted to wait until tomorrow, but
what's the matter with our having it
done by moonlight"
Permission given, the moonlight party
thronged about the happy pair. Then
all boarded the car, and the prospective
bridegroom shouted:
''Now, let her go!''
While the car was going at the rate OF
a mile in thirty seconds, and was max
ing it's circuitous dash along the edge Of
the precipice, the moon looked down
and smiled on the fastest marriage on
record. One gentleman was maid of
honor, another was bridesmaid, and a
third gave the bride away.

the scene of a novel wedding on August
