The bravery of bold Dan Lawler is
exciting the wonder of the Democratic
press. He publicly stated, after his
nomination. the following glowing
sentiments: II shall be no mans
man, and wear no mans collar" II
the nominee of any other party in
Minnesota should make such a
statement it would be considered
bombast, but coming fr,m.a Demo.

remarkable declaration. The fact
that such a declaration Is necessary
or important reveaiss the usual bass
ridden character Of Minnesots

Lawler was Doran's candidate, and
that the "anti's" couldn't even gel
any one to contest the fight with him
shows whether the veteran boss has
lost any Of his power in the party.

HOUSEHOLD l.

Keep flowers fresh by putting a pinch
of soda in the water.
Boil the clothes line, and it will not
"kink" as a new rope is apt to do.
Keep a small box filled with lime in
your pantry and cellar; it will keep the
air dry and pure.
Soda is the best thing for cleaning
tinware, apply with a damp cloth and
rub well. then wipe dry.
Prick potatoes before baking so that
the air can escape; this will prevent
their bursting in the oven.
For ore throat beat the white of an
egg stiff with all the sugar it will hold
and the juice of one lemon.
When baking cakes set a dish of
water in the oven with them and they
will not be in any danger from scorch-
ing.
Grease spots that have burnt and be-
come hard on the stove may be re-
moved by a few drops of kerosene oil
on the cloth before rubbing them.
To clean a stove zinc or zinc-lined
bath-tub, mix ammonia and whiting to
a smooth paste, apply it to the zinc
and let it dry. Then rub it off until
no dust remains.
A teaspoonful of alum will make
clear four gallons of muddy water.
Boiling the water is necessary to re-
move diseased germs when a farm
pump or town reservoir has a bad
name.
When scaling fish, hold them under
water in a pan; then the scales will not
fly in your face, but will fall to the
bottom, and when the water is poured
from them are ready to turn into the
slop pail or compost heap.

HUNG 1T UP.

An awkward young countryman
from Vermont some years ago entered
a Boston warehouse and asked for en-
ployment. He could do any kind of
"chores" he said and boosted of his
great strength.
"Stout are you," said one of the
clerks. "I1l give you ten dollars if
you will carry that bag of salt twice
across the store and never lay it down.
The Vermonter stood for a moment
thoughtfully cycling the bag, and shoul
dered it easily enough, walked up to a
rope with a hook to the end which hung
through a scuttle and hung the bag on
a hook.
Mister" said he CT guess I'll
trouble you for that air ten. I didn't
lay it down. hung it up"
The clerk rather unwilling joined in
the laugh which followed, and handed
over the ten dollars.
"That's better than chopping logs"

posted the money in his Wallet

A REVERY.

Ali siCns where summer 8 smiles have been,
what mt mories CROWN, when evening cometh
While from the hearth's first cheerful blaze
The agonizing dreams of joys all gone
Recall the scenes of Other days,
All then the signs for days that are no more
When thus we sadly sit and muse
Doth we'll and surge like waves upon the shore,
And, wrapped mid vanished seen :, we lose
Ourselves mid May castles in the air,
And bring the old familiar faces.
Once more, around the hearth, all gathered
In their old-time accustomed place.
'Tfs then that smiles that have been long, long
sleeping
Within the sill, nee of the past,
Again. o'e f. ces bright, We tain see creeping
Like sunrise light DER morning cast,
But through long winter nights-the embers
dying
We feel more keenly what we've had,
And then the vanished visions leave US signing,
Alasl so lonely and so sad.
For then the love that gone hae fed n1eed,
And hart, rebelliOus feelings steal
Athwart the soul and 'refC of all we need
To cheer the gloom, we cease to feel

OF what may come or what is passing on,

CONCERNING
Millions of Dollars Invested in It's Man
~ufacture in the United States.

Millions of Dollars Invested in It's Man
ufacture in the United States.
Very few people have a 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 dis
covery and its practical use.
Nitroglycerin 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 nitroglycerin
mixed with various ingredients. Nitro
glycerin is made by mixing sulphuric
and nitric acid with sweet glycerin,
the same that is used by the ladies to
prevent chapped hands. Mixing the
acids and glycerin is where the great
danger lies in the making of nitro
~glycerin. The mixing tank, Or agita-
tor, as it is called by dynamite makers,
is a large steel tank, filled inside with
many coils of lead pipe, through which,
while the mixing is in progress, a con
slant flow of ice water is maintained.
This flow of ice water is used to keep
the temperature of the mix below IS
degrees, as above that point it would
explode, and a hole in the ground
would mark where the factory had
been. The nitroglycerin is stored In
large earthenware tanks, which are
usually sunk in the ground to guard
against blows or severe conclusion.
The other ingredients for making
dynamite are, nitrate of soda (Which
is found only in Chilli, carbonate of
magnesia and wood pulp.
Dynamite is put in paper shells
usually II inches in diameter and 8
inches in length, and weighs about
one half pound to each shell or cart
ridge. Il has largely taken the place
of black powder for blasting, as it is
many hundreds of times stronger, and
consequently more economical. It is
used chiefly in mining all kinds of ores,
coal and rock, and sub marine blasting
and railroad building. Without its
aid many railroads, especially those
crossing the Rocky Mountains, could
not have been constructed; without it
| He'll Gate, in New York harbOr, could
not have been destroyed, and 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. 1t will burn with
out explosion and freezes at AZ degrees,
10 degrees above ordinary freezing
point. The bomb is made of metal
or glass and filed with pure nitro
glycerin arranged SO as to explode by
severe. contact with any hard object.
These bombs are of course never made
~ a reputable dynamite factory.
Five or six millions of dollars are In
vested in the manufacture OF dynamite
in the United States, and its use is con-
stantly on the increase. The fumes OF
nitroglycerin produce intense head
ache, which can be cured by taking a
very small dose of it internally. DE
