Special to the Rrconn-rNrnx

LONDON, May ia terrific explosion
of gas occurred to-day in the hold of the
British steamer Tancarville, which is un-
dergoing repairs in the drydock at New
port. Five men were killed and thirteen
injured. The steamer was badly dam
aged.
The Tancarville is tank steamer en-
gagged in carrying oil from American
ports.
The force of the explosion was so great
that the foredeck was torn from its fasten-
lngs and blown of. AS the steamer was
out OF water there was no pressure on the
hull to counterbalance the tremendous
outward strain eXerted by the explosion,
and 1t is reported that some plates on the
bottom of the Tancarville were blown
out.
The woodwork of the forward portion
OF the steamer caught fire, but the flames
We're soon eXtinguiShed.
LATER.-A later dispatch from New
port says that the loss of life caused by
the explosion on the steamer Tancarvilie
Is larger than at first stated. The dis
patch says that eight were killed and
twenty-five others injured. There were
over one hundred men and bows en-
ployed in and around the vessel when
the explosion occurred
Large pieces of timber and iron from
the steamer were blown with terrific force
through the air, and some were hurled
against the workshops situated fifty Yards
away, causing much damage TO them.

method by which Sicilians at New

be regarded as binding in any civilized
community. The writer instances tho
way in which American Consuls abroad
i'll the trOublous times of IS4S in Europe
converted Italians, Polish and Hungarian
refugees into American citizens in order
to protect them. He predicts that the
United States will yet be obliged to change

At the conclusion of the usual pro-

WINTER ON THE FARM.
Which Land is the Besto


When all of the battles are lost and won
The last word spoken the argument DONE
Which, which is the best land under the sun?
The question is pondered by you and me,
AS gayIy we're sailing this summer sea,
But as to the answer we disagree
20, the very best land" says the German, sis
mine!'
And his heart beats quick, and his moist eyes
shine
AS he fondly sings, "Die Yacht am Rhein."
But the Frenchman ieers at the Germans praise,
" lille q tribute to France you hear him raise
In the tervent strains Of the "Marseillalse."
At the Frenchman's Boosting the Scotchman
cries
"What land so bonny beneath the skies
AS the la nd where the great Sir Walter lies?
Then MuscOvite voice is heard declare:
''Were my fellow creatures but wise and fair.
They'd dote. to a man, on the Russian bear
The Irishman answers, with scornful smile:
$50 over the universe, mile by mile,
And you'll find no land ike the Emerald Isle
The Englishman comments, in accents bland:
I'm thinking there's only one civilized land,
And Britains its name, you must Understand"
The Yankee rising with deep emotion,
EXclams: I'm firmly set in the notion
My Eag les the gem of land or ocean"
So after the battles are lost an q won,
/ he last word spoken, the argument done,
Which, which is the best land under the sun?
The question is pondered by you and me,
As gAyly were sailing this summer sea,
And, on second thinking, we all agree!
We are not divided saving in name;
In essence each choice is really the same:

Farm Work in Winter.

Wherever good sleighing prevails ad-
vantage should be taken to get as much
team work done as possible. On the
road, and still more in drawing loads
over fields, a team will do more work,
and do it more easily, on the snow than
at any other time. The amount Of load
on level road makes little difference to
q good team. AS much as can be piled
on the sled is drawn as if it were a light
load. In drawing out manure to field
the sled is more convenient for loading
a snoW-covered field makes as good a
roadway as can be desired. There is
still another advantage in doing as
much work as possible in winter. 1t
gives employment to the poor in the
neighborhood, and enables farmer to
command a better supply of help the
following summer.
