Terrific Explosion Occurs in Lancashire,

LONDON, Dec. IA report has Just
reached here to the effect that there has
been a terrible explosion at Blackburn,
near Preston, Lancashire. Three stores
are said to have been wrecked. Many
people are reported killed and a large
number injured. The Crown hotel and
two shops in Victoria street were
wrecked. Many persons are buried in
the ruins. The wrecked buildings are
on fire. Additional details received at
$50 p. m. from Blackburn say that
the Crown hotel and the two shops
on Victoria street collapsed i'm
mediately after the explosion, the
cause of which is unknown. AS the
dispatch referred to was sent the Crown
hotel was in flames and from it's ruins
the most heartrending cries were issu-
ing. The entire building has tumbled
in upon those unlucky enough to be in
the building and a most serious loss of
life is expected. According to report
at least thirty people are buried in the
ruins of the hotel, while over dozen
are said to have met death in the ruins
of the two stores. as.a 81 .... 49, --

AN ENTIRE DINNER LESSON.
The Appetizing Bill of Fare Presented on
 a Recent Occasion,

The Appetizing Bill of Fare Presented on
 Recent Occasion.
 A woman in London has class of one hundred cooks, and she gives what she calls 'an entire dinner lesson." While the lesson is in progress the swell women come in and look on. The menu on a recent oc- casion began with a hors d'oeuvre, anchois la Colmar, which looked very tempting, the little fish being curled around upon croutons of fried bread, garnished with crayfish cream and white and yolk of egg. The consomme a la Leopold was certainly the prettiest soup ever saw, says writer in the New York World, with little circles of red, yellow and white floating in its clearness. These were made of eggs and cream and stamped-out French gherl1in. Next came fllets of salmon la commodore, a delicious looking dish, garnished with crayfsh, button mush- rooms and shredded gherkins. The hot cntree was ''petits poulets 8 Ia St. Gcorge," and the cold, ''mauviettes la Sotterville," both of very elaborate and detailed preparation. The relieve was fowl with Bechamel sauce, accom- panied by tomatoes stuffed with puree of potato seasoned with Parmesan cheese. The sorbet, favored with Liquid Sunshine rum, was served in ice-water cups of white crystalized glass, the daintiest little glasses you can imagine, especially when filled with the pink sorbet. After this came a brace of woodcocl, and then a lobster salad wonderfully garpished and served with Mayonnaise sauce. A delicious looking vegetable entree was made of asparagus and articholze bottoms. The two sweets were creams served with chocolate custard and banana sauce, and ''petites caisses a la Sultan," com posed of whipped cream, oranges and pistachio garnished with sort of sub- | limized toffee. The savory ''huitres a la bonne bouche" would make capital supper-dish. The oysters are served on | thin rounds of fried bread, allowed to l grow cold, then mashed with puree made of chicken, anchovy, oysters and crayflsh cream. On each round is placed q slender slice of lemon and then m oyster.

A GEORGIA SERPENT.
He Dug His Way Under Q Dam and
 Stopped the Miu.

He Dug His Way Under Dam and
 stopped the Min.
 The region hereabout, says an Ath- ems (Ga.) correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has long been noted as the abiding place of monster speci- mems of the snake tribe and many won derful stories are told of serpents of marvellous size and prowess, denizens of the swamps and brakes of this and adjoining counties. One of the best is that related by old man Hank Hol- combe of how a big snake stopped mill in his county several years ago.
 The mill was located on a small stream and the dam was made of blanks, mud and small stones, all thrown together. This furnished a bountiful supply of water. On the mud sill" of the dam was a bed of snakes, which began its existence with that of the structure. Large snakes were seen thereabout all during the spring and summer and many were killed. People were not overanxious to go by that way, but no one ever dreamed of what was afterward learned to be the state of affairs in that partic- ular snake bed.
 One night in the month of August the miller closed down his mill as usual, taking his usual care to see that the flood-gates were all right. Imagine. if you can, his surprise the next morning when he awoke to find all the water gone out of the pond. It had been drained as completely as if section of the dam had been cut away, and yet the dam seemed to be all right. His first thought was that some malicious per son had opened the fiood-gates, but the gates were found to be closed tight.
 At length, on closer examination, n large hole about the diameter of an ordinary powder keg was discovered directly under the base of the dam. It was evidently through that freshly made opening that the pond had been drained. But how to account for the hole was what puzzled the good miller and his neighbors, who had been at- tractcd by the unwonted occurrence. No one could conjecture how it came there, and they were about to give 1t up as an unsolvable mystery when a clew was discovered.
 Some one in the party went below the dam and saw blood on the rocks. The blood was seen to form an almost con- tiEuous stream along the rocky banks of the stream and the party followed this trail. Finally it led into Q thick wood and up to the base of a large oak tree which had a crevice at its roots about the size of a flour barrel. A l crowbar was brought and punched into the hole. The man who was using the | crowbar at length stuck it into some thing that held it fast. By the united l efforts of two men it was drawn out, when to their horror they discovered that it was imbedded in huge stump l tail moccasin. The snake was drawn out and dispatched. It was measured 1 and found to be three feet and nine inches in circumference at the largest part and twelve feet and six inches long.
 The huge serpent had worked its way through the dam, thereby draining the pond and stopping the mill for a whole day.

CHAPTER VI.

Opcn>tonc during these years had matrria!ly expanded. It tapped down very prrtti!y on either side of the soft ly brVrlrd hill, and spread north and south along its level spine. Many of the homes were quite prctrntious, mixed with neat cottages. and laced from end to end with flowers. soft naples and evcrgrcens. Blotchcs there were of bad buildings, and faults that decay alone knows how to soften and make somewhat pleasant to the eye; but Openstone in the main was clean and broad of street, and to the alert American eye not unSightly. Looked at from the distance it seemed not un- like some huge white flower, frccklcd with brown and strcaked with green, that newly bloSSomcd on the prairie's edge. To the eye long fed upon the messy softencd outlines of the Old, the town perhaps were product to light ly leave beside the way, but at+he end of all that might be said about it in drri>ion or defense. the fact would yet remain that Openstone was fair to those who built it, and an amazing evidence of energy and ZeSt It. per haps, and thousands more that situpOn the lap of this great West, could not be matched in all the worlds life for pleasant homes, when measured by its length of years. Like magic product it had burst the soil in one swift night and lowered, and even at its towering seemed more beautiful to many than its older sisters, sitting among the far-off hills the sun had crossed to kiss it. But, after all, the souls real windows are in the heart, and those who wrought in Opcnstone and loved its breezy newncss might through affection ovcrrate it, and in the end repent them that they were not silent. For doubtless it was much as other villages-a mart in some sort of little spitcs and pucrile ends, of many l not unholy hopes and humane deeds. Indeed, five thousand lives could hard ly follow on the heels of separate pur- pos,s within one murmuring hive and never clash together in its paths. Much wholesome, well-conditioned blood there was in Opcnstone. and in the main the machinery of its body worked with smoothncss and dispatch; yet there were veins of evil blood and spots diseased that brought convulsions in the end. Quite hidden were these poi soncd places at tho first, and in truth were never over patent to the careless eye; but left unpruncd they grew and sappcd and shook the region bitterly.
 The heart of Openstone consisted of a spacious square, and at the heart of that a courthouse webbed about with naples and leafy park. To north and south and east and west, the streets ran out with rows of shade trees to the fields, save at the western quarter where they broke against the river, but leaped over at two points by bridges and wound away among the trees and farm Stcads, won with speeches. labor from l the wood.
 Beside the river stretched the mur- muring mills, flanked by the dam, that backed its still and polished waters half Il league to northward among the pluns and willows. and everywhere was thrift and seeming plenty. Joel Whitney owned the largest mill upon

An Unknown Pensioner.

For nearly eighty years, says an Eng fish paper, the house of commons has been accustomed to vote ten pounds sterling year to a person who appears in the estimates as the Daughter of a Toulonese Emigrant." What her name is and why her fathers emigration es- tablished claim on the British taxpay- CT are questions frequently asked in the house of commons, but never an swered. The general, vague impress sion is that the unknown father of this anonymous daughter emigrated at the time that Napoleon was a captain in the French artillery and began to dis tinguish himself at Toulon, and that is nearly one hundred years ago. The treasury recently discovered that the lady is dead and this year, for the first time within the memory of living man, this sum of ten pounds will not be asked for in committee of supply.

 Joel turned his large person about apon his revolving stool and looked at the boy in astonishment Then he ierked a sort of laughing chuck: "Why, what's the matter? Don't I furnish you enough to eat? Think you could earn more, eh2'
 "No. sir: that is not it," said the boy, looking down. Il only want 10 pay you for your kindness, sir."'
 "Pshaw!" burst out Joel; "kecp to school, boy. Better not let Harry get ahead of you," and he turned to his desk. After waiting a moment he looked around. The boy was standing there. Well, you re not going to give it up, eh?"
 Il would rather not. sir"
 Joel looked at him curiously a mo- mcnt. and with another chuck deeper down in his great neck he murmured: its got the sand! true chip; eX- little longer with a misty sort of stare he aroused himself. ''Come in when you come from school this afternoon, he said; "I'll think it over"
 When John Earling entered that afternoon he had all his schoOl-books in package under his arm. Joel noticed this and laughed: "Well, ~punk." he said, ''you'rc bound to do it. ch?"
 Il want to, sir" said the boy with q smile.
 Well, I've concluded to compro- mise with you," said Joel, with twink ling eyes. You keep on with your school until you're fifteen, then you can work in the store. How will that suit you?'
 Tn boy turned little and stood be- side the window looking Obliquely into the street. but evidently seeing nothing. Joel sat with his back against his desk and watched the boy with a quizzical look. Gould pay you by working five ycars?" said the lad without turn ing his eyes.
 ''Pay me for what?"
 ''For what you have dOno for me, sir
 ..Pshaw! I have done no moro for you than l should, boy. If you ever go to work for me l shall pay you the same as any one else" But this to John EarlinG did not seem to cancel his obligation in any sense, for without seeming 10 notice it

 "YeS. l do. sir, and shall pay it, "Wcn, well, when you are fifteen you can go to work. We will fix it some way" and Joel turned to his desk. After the lad had gone he turned his head and watched him pass up the street; not ambling like many boys of like years, or running little way and stopping to loitcr like others, but with a clear and rcsolute step. When he passed out of sight Joel gave a little nod and murmurcd again: 'fcs, it's sand" and at the end of the page he was writing. when he laid the blottcr on the wet ink and dropped his huge fist upon it, he said again: ''lt's sand!"
