Church Kisses.

A lively row is in progress at Burns, 8
little town about twenty miles from Buff

raising scheme introduced at Church
social held in the lutheran Church par
sIors. The Church is heavily in debt
and the ladies advertised social in the
Church to raise money to pay the
preacher and buy some coal.
The men of the congregation had all
been seen and informed that the women
had big surprise for them. The men
we're out in full force and fairly packed
the rooms. Across one end of the room
was curtain. For an hour the guests
ichattsd after the old fashioned social
STYLE
Then the curtain was suddenly with
drawn. There in row stood six of the
prettiest women in the congregation,
blnshing and smiling, each bearing upon
her bosom a placard on which we're the
words:
"You may kiss me for 25 cents" 1t
was fifteen minutes before the device be.
gan to work, but when it did the silver
quarters fairly showered into the aprons
Of the young ladies' circle. Old and
young eagerly rushed to the front to ex.
change coins for kisses. The show only
lasted short time, when the curtain was
again drawn. Then the storm burst.
The women we're jealous of their hus-
bands and q dozen or more family fights
were started at once. Soon it was an
nounced that the women would pose
again in short time. Then the angry
women tore down the curtains and blew
out all the lights. A scramble for the
door followed, and for over two hours
the Church members gossipped and
fought on the sidewalks. They finally
dispersed and factional Church fight is
the result. No services were held at the

Seven Men Blown to Pieces.

W1LKEsBAREg, PENN, April IA
frightful explosion of powder completely
demolished the mills of the Moosic Pow
der Company at II O'Clock this morning.
The first explosion was in the drying
mill, and fraction of second later the
storage house blew up. The shocks were
felt over radius of forty miles and thou
sands of people in the surrounding
towns rushed out of doors, thinking an
earthquake had taken place. Both shocks
were distinctly heard here, twenty miles
away.
The mills were blown to the smallest
atoms, and there were no fragments
found larger than foot long. Seven men
were instantly killed and two fatally in
jured. Several bodies were found two
hundred feet from the site of the mill.
The loss is about $4,000. Eighteen years
ago these mills were demolished as COM
pletely as to-day and several men were
killed.

Swan for their Lives,

CRAwFoRDsv1LLE, IND, April s.
Three strong-limbed boys near Waveland
in this county, passed through a trying
ordsal on Sunday. Their names are Hi
ram Rustin and Harry and Thomas Rice.
the latter two being brothers. James NJ.
Rice, father of tho last two mentioned,
owns three fish ponds covering several
acres.
The deluge of Sunday, when the rain
fell in ropes from the clouds, flooded the
ponds and threatened their destruction
which would mean the loss Of several
thousand pounds Of choice bass, picker
ell, and perch. The boys started to cut
through the banks to provide an escape
for the rapidly rising backwater that was
already flowing over the dam. Suddenly
above the roar of the storm they heard
a crash that would have made older men
than they quail. Looking up they be-
held the foaming bank of water, perhaps
ten feet high, rushing toward them. The
river had burst through the waste gates
and its volume of backwater was reaching
out for them.
All escape was cut off. The pond was
in front and the river behind. Tho next
instant the flood rolled over them. But
they were strong and all three good
swimmers. They arose to the surface and
found themselves being carried along
with the speed of a horse on the crest OF
the wild river. The current was thick
with floating debris, logs, tree tops and
fences rushing on in the mad race. They
battled with the current, perhaps as no
three boys ever did before, Keeping near
each other and lending one another as
slstance and encouragement.
On tore tie flood down the valley tear
ing up trees and fences, while the dread
full downpour that never ceased, and the
lightning followed by peal on peal of
thunder claps, was enough to frighten
stouter hearts into sinking beneath the
bIood-chilling stream. But the boys
were brave and never once lost courage.
They struck out with their legs and arms
as best they could, handicapped by their
heavy clothing, and gradually swan to
the outer edge Of the stream until they
had been carried FIVE miles below, when,
by catching in some trees growing on .he
bank they were able to draw themselves
from the current. Ali were. badly cut
and bruised from contact with barbed
wire fencing and logs in the stream, bat
they at once started to retrace their way
homeward, where they arrived without
further trouble.-Indiamapohs Journol.

Language Among Dogs.

LAWRENCE, KAN, April 13.-Proba.
bly, the most convincing and remarkable
evidences that animals can talk TO each
other was witnessed near here few days
ago on the farm of William Seymore.
Seymore has two dogs which IRE accus'
toned to remain in the barns and have
become firm friends with the horses. To
such an extent has this friendship pro-
gresued that when any of the horses or
either of the dogs have been away from
home for any time Immediately on their
return they rush together and rub noses
and give other evidences of delight at
meeting.
The dogs and horses go to the pasture
together and return home at evening in
company. This remarkable and close
friendship has been noted by many and
much commented upon, but the climax
was reached when one of the dogs came
rushing from small piece of timber
about half mile from the barn. He
ran hurriedly up to the other dogs and
whined and barked in a queer manner
and then ran to the house.
The second dog at once jumped to his
feet and started off on run to the woods
as fast an he could go. The first dog
hunted around the place until be found
Mr.. seymore, and then by barks and
strange antics attracted his attention and
started back toward the timber.
Mr.. seymore paid little attention to
him until be wss told what occurred in
the BARN, where the two dogs apparently
held conversation, and then be followed
to the woods. The dog went straight
into the woods, and there Mr.. Seymore
found that ore of his horses had fallen
down in q small water course which Was
so narrow and steep that It vas impossi-
Bile for the animal to rise.
The horse was lying perfectly still,
while the second dog was sitting by its
head licking its face. and showing by it's
attentions that he intended to comfort
the horse all that it was in its power.
The fact that the horse was lying in an
out of the way place, with>the additional
fact that the second dog did not hesitate,
but went directly TO where it had fallen,
was plain evidence of the fact that the
first dog had told the story and given
directions for finding the. horse that was
in trouble.

Down q Funnel it Went.

The other day a young man sauntered
into saloon on Whitehall street, and
asked for glass Of beer. The barkeepcr,
a German, recognizing in the stranger a
fellow countryman, set out glass of the
required beverage for his r fection. TAX.
ing the glass in his hand, the stranger
walked to the end of the bar, opened his
coat and proceeded to pour the beer Into
q funnel.
"Mein Got in Himmel," shouted the
astonished bartender. "Phat you do
with dot beer?"
"I am drinking it," replied the
stranger, calmly emptying the last, drop
into the funnel, and placing the glass on
the counter.
The barkeeper was paraIyzed, and
nothing short of full explanation fully
reassured him. 1t developed that the
stranger had some time ago swallowed
some carbolic acid by mistake, which had
caused structure of the throat. He is
unable to swallow even liquids and his
only means of taking food OF drink is
through a tube which runs into his
stomach. Through this be drinks and
eats, first chewing his food and then pass
ing it through: the tube into his stomach.
His case was such rare one that the
bar keeper took him to see some of the
doctors of the city. He is in good health,
and does not seen to suffer much from
his strange afBiction, converting readily.
though unable to swallow anything at
all. The tube through which he takes
his food is removed when NOT in use, and
when he is ungry he places It in posi-
ton, and through it eats what he wants.

Roads In France.

The excellence Of French roads is we'll
known. The United States Consul at
Bordeaux describes how they are made.
The materials are brought from the near.
eat quarries and placed at either side of
the route surveyed. In order that the
full amount contracted for may be de-
Hvered, the stone must be heaped in an.
gulsr piles of prismatic shape and fixed
dimensions. These heaps, placed at
given distance from one another, are
afterward visited by an official inspector,
and must in all instances fit exactly be-
meath skeleton frame carried by him.
The material is usually marble, flint,
stone or. gravel, and whatever is used
must be of the best quality and cleanssd
from all foreign substances. The stone
must be broken so that each piece may
pass through ring two and half inches
in diameter. 1t is then spread evenly
over the road, the interstices being care
fully filed in with smaller pieces, 80 that
the whole is smooth and free from abrupt
eminences and depressions. A steam
roller then crushes and further evens the
whole, after which superficial layer Of
clay and earth completes the work.
Roads are classed as national roads,
which are the main arteries of the system
connecting most distant parts of the
country, and are constructed and main
tained by the government; department
roads, which connect different points of
che same department or of two adjoining
departments, and are CONSTRUCTED and
maintained by the department; high
ways and public roads, which are the
property of the commune through which
they run, but are practice made and re.
paired by the department from taxes lev
led on the commune, supplemented by a
department subsidy; cross roads, which
are maintained by sums derived from the
ordinary revenues of the commune. occa'
sionally supplemented by additional tax
alton; and country roads, which are
kept in order by the commune, except
they are injured by unusual traffic, when
an indemnify may be claimed by the
communal administration. For the pur.
pose Of maintaining the common roads
the inhabitants living in the district are
obliged to work three days in each year,
or pay an amount equivalent to the com.
peusation of o laborer for three days.
The Consul at Havre says that French
pavements increase in excellence with
age. In France, he says, all roads have
perpetual attention. If from weight,
rain, or other causes, hollow, rut or
sink is formed, it is repaired at once.
Where the space to be repaired is of lin;
tied area, the rolling of the new coating
is left to the vide tires of the heavy
carts, but in the case Of extended areas a
steam roller is brought into use. Every
carrying and market cart in France is q
road maker instead of rut maker, for it
has tires usually from four inches to six
inches in width.-Scientifc american
