Flowing with Dynamite.

Sub-soil blowing with dynamite is
one Of the new methods in the south,
and it is said to be equal to the process
Of trenching used by market gardeners
to loosen the earth to a depth of two or
three feet and allow the absorption of a
good deal of water for sustaining vege-
tation during a drought The inventor
drills holes two or three feet deep and
Eve feet apart. making sixteen hundred
to the acre In each he puts an ex-
plosive, and, after tamping, discharges
it. the whole nunb Der being connected
with wire leading to a battery In a
recent experiment the explosive used
was one-fourth of a small sized dyna-
mite cartridge, with about an ounce of
Judson powder The surface of the
ground appeared to be lifted two or
three feet, a few small clods being
thrown up to the height of house It
was broken to the depth of thirty inch
es at the points of the explosion and
sidewise for part of the distance be-
tween the holes.

ANY DOG IN a PINCH.

How an Express Messenger Replaced q
Lost Charge.
A handsome spaniel. which bore the
marks OF choice breeding, was tucked
away among the mass Of express mat
ter in an Am. r;,..:1 Express Company's
car which was att led to Central
Hudson train few IL ,.:?in-s ago. says
the Rochester Democrat. The dog was
on his way from Toronto to lew York,
and was intended as a present to gen.
tleman in the metropolis. A silver col
lar encircled his neck The dog was a
bright, intelligent fellow and had been
made a general pet by the express mes
sengers along the line.
When the train reached this city the
messenger in charge of the car united
the spaniel to allow him to eat his
breakfast. Several Of the station en-
ployes were admiring the dog as he was
devouring a piece of steak from the
restaurant, when suddenly the animal
bounded over a pile of packages. out
through the open door, and was gone
before the surprised messenger could
realize what had happened.
The dog was properly billed, and Wis
ions of an immediate discharge from
service fitted through the messengers
brain should he fail to hand over the
dog in New York. A search was USE
less, as the train was to leave within
five minutes, and the spaniel was rev.
cling in liberty among the plebeian
ours in the street.
Suddenly an inspiration struck the
messenger. and running out to the hack
stand in front of the station he looked
quickly up and down the street. A for
lorn-looking cur, with his tail between
his legs. was in the act of purloining a
meal from an adjacent garbage barrel.
He gave a quick yelp as the messenger
grabbed him up, and two minutes later
was crouching in a corner of the ex-
press car with the company's tag
adjoining his NANCY hide.
The outcome of the story is still I'M
known. but it is likely that the New
York man considers himself the
victim of practical joke on the part
of his Toronto friend.

Washington society, like every other

lady who has said several good things
Of an inappropriate kind and gets the
credit at the clubs and dinner parties of
having said ten Zines as many, says the
Boston Herald The Mrs. Malaprop of
Washington is one of the new-rich who
have revolutionized the architecture and
the society Of Washington.
The smart" society people go to
their beautiful house. eat their delicious
terrapin, drink their perfect champagne
and get off witty remarks about them
II possible quoting them or pretending
to, SO as to make them ridiculous-au
of which, reed not say, is considered
quite good etiquette. even if it is not
good manners.
Well, Mrs Malaprop has climbed up
on her husbands bank account through
the usual ways into society" and
while she gets along very well occa-
sionally lapses a little in conversation,
the lapses being carefully recorded by
her dear new friends.

you / have been hearing you spoken
of SO much as the pretty Miss Legation,

which of you is the pretty one and
which is the clever one"
Again to famous army officer and
his wife, who were telling how much
they had enjoyed her dinner party, she
cheerily said: ~ thought you would
like to meet some nice people"
Being presented to plainly dressed
woman whose name she did not catch
she said in the course of conversation
that Washington was a delightful city

one Of the richest of the old residents,
whose fine house on Lafayette square
is almost historical, and who had the
tact and kindness not to set her right.
Perhaps Mrs. Malaprop's most famous
speech is of as late date as last spring,
just before she went abroad. Coming
down to meet a morning caller in her
wrapper Mrs Malaprop said, sweetly:
You really must excuse me for coming
down in my nom de plume. but I have
