schools that there must be a place fol
such things. The best thing that can be
done under such circumstances is to
drive a number Of nails and hooks
around the walls of the house to hang
satchels upon; and to get their books

great annoyance of the teacher and the
distraction of the other pupils.
8. A great many parents seem to think
that the teacher ought to do good work
without their cooperation, further than
sending their children to school and fur
nfshiDg them with suct books and sta
tionery as may be necessary. They do
not trouble their minds to learn anything
about the progress of their children, OF
even to give them word of encourage.
ment As to visiting the school they act
az if they thought it would be unpardon.
able sin to do such a thing. Again,
there are other parents who severely
criticise the teachers methods before
their children if those methods are not in
accord with their preconceived notion Of
what school methods should be. 1t ia
needless to add that much effort of the
teacher in instructing the children OF
such parents will be lost We will close
this article by recapitulating:
l. Employ real live, energetic, pro-
grsssive teacher.
2. Build good school house and fur
nish it with proper furniture and appa-
ratus.
8. Give the teacher your heartiest sym.
pathy, encouragement and cooperation.
Use your authority to help enforce that
of the teacher. Take the pains to let the
teacher know that in all her work you
appreciate her efforts.

failure, when all faith was weakened and

sonable to suppose that had Mr.. Field

perhaps not at all. Providence seems
to raise up men for great works when
the world needs them and Cyrus Field

nations nearer together. Now that he

comfort or sympathy. BE had it from

vain are all things here below when
Providence lays his hand upon our do
mestic happiness, when the peace of
home is broken, when the husband or
wife or the child goes astray and brings
a shadow over declining years. Mr..
Field died o. a broken heart. His

Concerning Dynamite.

Very few people have correct idea OF
what dynamite is, of what it is made, and
the uses to which it is put. To the
French belongs the honor of its discov-
cry and its practical use.
Nitro glyceriue is the force of all high
explosives. Dynamite is the name most
usually given to these explosives, though
other names are sometimes used.
Dynamite is simply nitro-glycerine
mixed with various Ingredients. Nitro.
glycerine is made by mixing sulphuric
and nitric acid with sweet glycerine, the
same that is used by the ladies to prevent
chapped hands. Mixing the acids and
glycerine is where the great danger lies
in the making of nitro glycerine. The
mixing tank, or agitator, as it is called
by dynamite makers, is large steel
tank, filled inside with many coils of lead
pipe, through which, while the mixing
is in progress, constant flow of ice wa
ter is maintained. This flow of ice
water is used to keep the temperature of
the mix below S5', as above that point it
would explode, and hole in the ground
would mark where the factory had been.
The nitro glycerine is stored in large
earthenware tanks, which are usually
sunk in the ground to guard against
blows or severe concession.
The other ingredients for making
dynamite are: Nitrate of soda, which is
found only in Chilli, carbonate of magne.
sia and wood pulp.
Dynamite is put In paper shells usu-
ally II inches in diameter and 8 inches
in length, and weighs about one.half
pound to each shell or cartridge. Tt has
largely taken the place of black powder
for blasting, as it is many hundreds of
times stronger, and consequently more
economical. 1t is used chiefly in mining
all kinds Of ores, coal and rock, and sub.
marine. Without its aid many railroads,
especially those crossing the Rocky
Mountains, could not have been con-
structed; without it. He'll Gate in New
York harbor could not have been de-
stroyed, apd without it the miner, at
prices now paid for mining ores, could
not earn his bread.
Dynamite will not explode from any
ordinary fall or jar; it will burn without
explosion, and freezes at 420, 10' above
ordinary freezing point. The bomb of
Anarchist is made of metal or glass aud
filled with pure nitro glycerine arranged
80 as to explode by severe contact with
any hard object. These bombs are, of
course, never made by reputable dyna.
mite factory.
Five or six millions of dollars are in
vested in the manufacture of dynamite in
United States, and its use is constantly
on the increase. The fumes of nitro.
glycerine produce intense headaches,
which can be cured by taking very
small Jose of it internally.-Detroit Free

on two lunatics. One of them bo-

GoT EVEN WITH HIM.-In the
early days of the civil war the
Maine volunteer regiments were
quartered at Augusta several weeks
after their organization to be drill
ed and trained before going to the
front, Gays the Youths Compan-
ion.
Many of the soldiers were young
men from the country, in whose
pockets the bounty money
burned as long as it lasted, to the
great advantage of Augusta store
and stablekeepers.
Two soldiers came into q livery
stable one morning and asked the
proprietor how much he would
charge for team to go to Water
Vile.
"Six dollars" was the reply.
Tho bargain was closed and the
soldier drove off. Towards night
they returned, and one OF them
stepped into the Office and tender
dered the proprietor Sc.

bill ia S12."
GLOW is that?"
"Why, you asked me how much
for a team to take you to Water

The two friends, after a little
conference, paid the swindler the
$12 and went away without word.
About a week later a soldier
again appeared at the stable office
and inquired; GLOW much for a
team to Waterville?"
"Six dollars" replied tho pro-
prietor, not recognizing the man
upon whom he had played so mean
a trick the week before.
The soldier took the team and
started of. About O'Clock in the
afternoon he appeared on foot, and
walking into the Office said.

WATCHING FOR A LEGACY.
Wise Scheme of Man Who Dreaded
BEING RuriRd Alive

Out in a meadow near Fenton sits a
man watching red flag that waves over
a freshly-moulded grave. The man
and the flag have been there since the
grave received its dead, six days ago
at least, says the St. Louis Chronicle,
the watcher or substitute has been
there, and he intends sitting there
eight days more; and well he may, for
on his vigil depends legacy worth
SIS, 900.
The grave contains the remains of
Wilhelm Kreutzer, a German farmer,
Well-knOWn about Fenton. The watch
er is his son Henry.
The elder Kreutzer died on Washing
toms birthday, after years of illness. OF
late years he showed great fear of be-
ing buried alive, and on several occa-
sions during his life he begged piteous-
ly that they be sure that he was dead
before they buried him.
Alter the old man died his will was
read to his wife and only son. After
providing FOR his wife the will read:
'To my only child, Henry, leave my
farm on the Meramec River, the stock,
implements, grain and everything upon
it, on the following condition: Before
burying my body he shall employ a
doctor to make searching examination
as to whether | am really dead. My
body shall then be buried IN the
meadow, at the southeastern corner of
my farm. A small hole shall be made
through the tops of the rough box and
the coffin. A metal tube shall be III
serted into the coffin and shall extend
to the top of the ground. Through this
tube string shall be passed, the lower
end of which shall be wound about my
hand. The other end of the string is TO
be tied to the top of small red feg
which shall be SO erected, that when
the string is pulled from within the
coffin the flag will lall to the ground
|. my son Henry shah watch the flag
for fourteen days, leaving only from 10
O'Clock at night to 4 O'Clock in the
