Moderation.

M. de Garnerau was French magistrate
of great integrity and learning and many
fine qualities No one appreciated better
than he the beauty and value of patience,
but his naturally quick temper and irri-
table disposition sometimes betrayed him
into droll inconsistencies
M. de Flesselles, president Of the su-
perior council at Lyons at time when the
chancellor, Maupeou, was making great
changes in the government, was instructed
to suppress the parliament Of Trevoux, Of
which M. De Garnerau was president.
M. de Flesselles visited Trevoux, assem-
bled the magistrates and gave his orders.
De Garner@u replied with dignity that it
was his duty to obey his sovereign, left his
place, and followed by his associates pre-
pared to march out of the courtroom. But
unfortunately his valet opened the doors.
Instantly M. de Garnerau in passion
threw his cap and robe on the floor and
cried Here, Antoine, take those things.
They are only for the use of Wallets nowp'
At apublic meeting of the Lyons acad-
emy, of which he was a member, ho read q
paper on "Moderation." The discourse
was fine, but the effect was somewhat
marred by an incident at its commence
ment.

She was the two dozenth woman who
had crushed his hopes and it began to

He rose from his knees trembling.

In few brief moments he recovered his

His lips quivered, but he was bound to
say something.

The girl shook her head.
"I've asked two dozen women to marry

ONE OF THE TEETH,

ONE OF THE TEETH,
and sound as the day, when some mighty
flood or other convulsion of nature carried
the owner of the tooth down into depres-
sion near Center creek and buried the
huge frame under many feet of gravel,
clay and mold.
What manner of animal must this have
been which had molars like upper and
lower millstones? 1t tusks. One Of
these tusks found near ,..a big teeth meas.

Better preserved is the upper bone of the
foreleg. The first Of the joints of the back
bone, that on which the head rolled, has
been found, and SO has the last of the

mass of bones-lille the hogs foot. Coarse
hair, as long as the goats, covered it from
proboscis TO tail, and it wandered among
glaciers and was glad.
It is said that the paleontologist needs
only one small bone from which to recon
struct the whole framework of any animal.
From Carl junction there will be shipped
shortly to the scientific men at Washing
ton university several wagon loads of bones
to aid them in the restoration of a creature
which was from twenty-five to thirty feet
long. and which stood from thirteen to
eighteen feet high on it's bare toes.
Awhile ago the miners near Carl juno
tion found half digested pine cones and
needles far underground, and now they
have got the animal that fed upon such
coarse provender. In this day and genera
tiOn there are no pine trees within forty or
fifty miles of Carl Junction. The nam

as large as sections of telegraph poles. And
for that purpose he had four of these great
teeth on each side of his mouth-two upper

of small cave somewhere underneath has

proceeded tosink shaft. He went through
five feet of rich black soil. Then came
clay-a stratum eight feet thick. The
next thing was gravel, below which they
found the burying ground of the Elephas
Americanus.

Dynamite.
Cupid's sealing wax.

Very few people have correct idea
of what dynamite iS, of what 1t is
made, and the uses to which it is put.
To the French belongs the honor of
its discovery and it, first practical
use.
Nitro -glycerine is the force OF all
high explosives. Dynamite is the
name most usually given to these eN-
plosives. though other names are
sometimes used.
Dynamite is simply nitro -glycerine
mixed with various ingredients.
Nitro glycerine is made by mixing
sulphuric acid and nitric acid with
sweet glycerine, the same that is used
by the ladies to prevent chapped
hands. Mixing the acids and glycer-
inc is where the great danger lies in
the making OF nitro -gly cerine. The
mixing tank, or aSitator as it is called
by dynamite makers, is Il large steel
tank, filed inside with many coils OF
lead pipe, through which, while the
mixing is in progress, constant How
of ice water is used to keep the ten
Derature Of the mix below 81 degrees,
as above that point it would explode,
and a 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 conclusion.
The other ingredients OF making dy-
Mantle are: Nitrate OF soda, which Is
found only in Chile, 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 {!
pound to each shell or cartridge. 1t
has largely taken the place OF black
Lowder for blasting, as it is many
hundreds of times stronger and con
seuuently more economical. 1t Is
used chiefly in mining all kinds OF
ores. coal and rock, and submarine
blasting and railroad building.
Without its aid many railroads, es-
pecially those crossing the Rocky
Mountains, could not have been con
structed; without it He'll Gate in New
York Harbor could not have been
DESTROYED, and without it the miner,
at prices now paid tor mining ores
could not earn his bread.
DYNAMITE will not explode from
any ordinary fall or jar; it will burn
without explosion, and freeze at
forty-two degrees, ten degrees above
ordinary freezing point. The bomb
of the anarchist is made OF metal or
glass and filed with pure nitro-gly-
cerine arranged so rs TO explode by
severe contact with any hard object.
These bombs are, of course, never
made by reputable dynamite
| factory.
Five or six millions Of dollars are
invested in the manufacture OF dy.
Mantle in the United States, and It's
use il constantly on the increase.
The fumes OF nitro glycerine produce
intense headache, which can be cured
by taking very small dose OF it in
| ternally.

Costly Cannonading.

The likelihood seems TO be that
rapid fire guns will before long prac-
tically supersede the great cannon oi
the old style, which have grown 10 be
30 gigantic as TO be unwieldy. Then
they are much cheaper also. y 10
ton gun costs 5000. Its average
life is only ninety-fve shots, which
means that it is no good after il has
fred that number OF projectiles. On
this basis Of reckoning, each shot
costs about 800, without counting
the powder and projectile, which
cost $50 more. Sixteen hundred and
fifty dollars a pop Is good deal TO
nav Ii is true that when a missile
from such a weapon hits anything
the latter is likely TO he seriously az
fected. One experimental shot with
1l0-ron gun sent the proJectlie
through twenty inches Of solid steel,
eight inches of wrought iron, twenty
feet Of solid oak, five feet OF granite,
eleven feet OF concrete and four feet
brick back Of all the rest. The strik-
ing energy OF the conical bullet
amounted to "a, 800 foot-tons, which
was equivalent TO the power necessary
to lift five giant ships OF the size OF
the steamer City Of New York one
foot out OF water. 1t will be remem-
bered that the famous Jubilee shot, "
fred from a gun on the occasion OF
the Queens jubilee, fell at distance
OF thirteen miles, attaining at the
highest part of its trajectory an
elevation of four miles.

Women Past Forty.

why should a woman at the age OF
forty be, in any sense OF the word
pdsse ;" asked Mrs. Terhune the other
day at the Monona Lake Assembly.
And then she answered the question
in paper that WAS full ofthe simplest
vet the saddest and most pathetic SEN
tences that one is likely 10 hear for
many day.
Mrs. Terhune pointed out that after
the age of forty the mental forces of
woman are at their best, and yet the
sunset Of her life j. darkened. Take
the average case. \ woman of twenty
marries. She is handsome, intelligent
and educated. She has read, she has
bathed little in the sea Of thought
and looks with wonderment upon Its
billows. She has ever dreamed OF
VOYAGES ont there where stately ships
of splendid minds are grasping all the
winds that blow and are pushing Tor
the port OF progress And then she
turns 10 her duties OF wife. Al first
she follows her reading and tries to
keep up with the times, but il keeps
her buster now than il did. Then the
children come and she is so hurried.
Her work is unending and so exacting.
She finishes one task only 10 find that
il has brought her TO the threshold OF
IA hundred new ones. She thinks
sometimes Of the culture she is losing,
but she has no time. Here are duties
that will not be waved aside. She Is
q good mother, and her children shall
not be neglected.
She loses her touch with the women
whose cares are lighter. She forgets
much that she once knew well. She
bends every energy that the children
may have advantages. She would feel
that she had done selfish, an unpar-
donable thing il she sat down TO read
or to study when there were tasks de
manded Of her by her husband or her
children.
Presently she sees the boys and girls
have discovered that mother does not
know. How quickly children come to
that They compare her with some
one. and she suffers. Without mean
ing it or knowing II she loses interest
in the things that interest them. She
never would have thought that she
could do that TO avoid it II the very
thing for which she sacrificed herself.
She has made duty her slave so long
that duty is her master. She cannot
escape from the treadmill she has
builded. She goes her weary way I'LL
the day is done, aud even in sleep she
dreams OF toiling. All her associates
drift further and further from her.
Her circle narrows until she stands In
the centre-alone. There Is not n
throb from her brain that is answered
by thought from the world, and she
knows it.
Has she done best2 Would IL have
been selfishness for her 10 neglect the
children little in unconscious infancy
to keep pace with them better in acute
maturity? Does she not quicker lose
hold OF them, lose guidance OF them
when they can outrun her--outthink
