appeal in American courts just now,

divorce case has followed quick upon

About What to Eat.

If asked what would place of high
est Importance in family diet l would
answer without hesitation abundance of
fruit. The apple is far more invaluable
than we have yet estimated. It should
be eaten before meals, and not after.
Not member of my family, myself in
cluded, but eats one, two or more before
breakfast SO long as they are obtainable,
and as many before dinner--about half
an hour before the meal. AS soon as the
fruit is begun we stop all study or work,
and spend the half hour in sport or
walking or conversation.
After meals we rest in the same man
ner for one hour. No child is allowed
to study during this time. Nothing is
lost, for the head is thus kept out of
conflict with the stomach. Cereals, next
to fruit, are of prime importance. 7
recommend highly such preparations as
parched farinose-any food where the
cooking is done before the grinding.
Goha and granules are of this sort. As
for meat, it must be at each ones option.

A Lightning Calculator.

Professor Truman Henry Stafford, Of

markable lightning calculators now liv-

his power and wished to test it said to
him one day: 81 have little problem
for you, Professor Stafford. Twas born
Aug. 10, 1852, at 8 o'clock in the after

my age in seconds?" The great man
frowned, bent his head, and began to
walk rapidly up and down, twisting his
mustache and clasping and unclasping
his hands in his nervous way. After a
moment or so he returned the answer,
which was somewhere in the billions.
The gentleman produced paper con-
tanning the problem worked out, and
said, with superior smile, "Well, pro.
fessor, I'll give you credit for great ge-
MUS, but you're several thousand out"
The professor stretched out his hand for
the paper, and running over the calcu-
lation, said contemptuously: "Humph

Fraudulent Jewels.

Since solutions Of aniline dyes possess
the property Of imparting to genuine
jewels as well as glass paste deep,
rich color if left long enough immersed
in them, and since they possess also the
property of imparting precisely the char
acteristic color Of genuine jewel, the
swindler has it not only in his power to
dye cut glass paste, but also inferior cut

soonest ruby red shade, while bleu de
Paris initiates absolutely that of the
sapphire, and aniline green that of the
emerald.
Such a fraud, however, can be made
still more complicated by using genuine
off colored rubies, sapphires or emeralds
and dyeing them with the correspond
ingly aIiline dyes, thereby raising their
value tenfold. 1t is exceedingly diff
cult to recognize this fraud, because the
color of such we'll corroded jewel can
no longer be washed off, even with hot
water. Only the bleaching power of
sunlight might after time assist in re-
vealing the swindle.-Jewelers' Circu-

THE AGE OF PAPER.
The Time Is Coming When Paper VIII
BE the Only Useful Thing.

DC inc Oniy bsetui 1htuEs
The world has seen its iron age and its
brazen age, but this is the age of paper.
We are making so many things of paper
that it will soon be true that without
paper there is nothing made. We live
in paper houses. wear paper clothing,
and sit on paper cushions in paper cars
rolling on paper wheels. If we lived in
Bergen, Norway, we could go on Sun
days to paper church.
We do paper business over paper
counters, buying paper goods, paying for
them with paper money, and deal in
paper stocks on paper margins. We row
races in paper boats for paper prizes.
We go to paper theaters where paper
actors play to paper audiences.
As the age develops the coming man
will become more deeply enmsshed in
the paper net. He will awake in the
morning and creep from under the pa
per clothing of his paper bed and put
on his paper dressing gown and his pa
per slippers. He will walk over paper
carpets, down paper stairs, and seating
himself in paper chair will real the
paper news in the morning paper. A
paper bell will call MIN to his breakfast,
cooked in paper oven, served on paper
dishes, laid on a paper cloth on paper
table. He will wipe his lips with pa
per napkin, and having put on his paper
shoes, paper hat and paper coat, and
then taking his paper stick (he has the
choice of two descriptions already, he
will walk on paper pavement or ride
in paper carriage to his paper Office.
He will organize paper enterprises ana
make paper profits.
He will sail the ocean on paper steam
ships and navigate the air in paper bal
looms. He will smoke paper cigar or
paper tobacco in a paper pipe, lighted
with paper match. He will write
with a paper pencil, whittle paper sticks
with paper knife, go fishing with q
paper fishing rod, a paper line and a
paper hook, and put his catch in paper
basket. He will 60 shooting with "a

CONCERNING DYNAMITE.
Millions of Dollars Invested in Its Man
ufacture in the United States.

ufacture in the United States.
Very few people have correct idea
Of what dynamite is, of what 1t is made
and the uses to which 1t is put. To the
French belongs the honor of its discov-
cry 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 large steel tank, filed 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
s5 degs., as above that point 1t
would explode, and 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 mag
nesia and wood pulp.
Dynamite Isl put in paper shells usually
a inches in diameter and s inches in
length, and weighs about one-half pound
to each shell or cartridge. II has largely
taken the place of black powder for
blasting, as it is many hundreds of times
stronger, and consequently more eco
nomical. 1t is used chiefly in mining all
kinds of ores, coal and rock, and sub
marine blasting and railroad building.
Without its aid many railroads, espe-
cially those crossing the Rocky noun
tains, could not have been constructed;
without it He'll Gate, in New York har-
Dor, 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. II will burn with
out explosion and freezes at AZ degs., 10
degs. above ordinary freezing point.
The bomb is made of metal or glass and
filed with pure nitroglycerin arranged
so 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 the United States, and its use is con-
stantly on the increase. The fumes of
nitroglycerin produce intense headache,
which can be cured by taking very
small dose of 1t internally.-Detroit Free
Press.

BLAINE A STRAIGHTFORWARD MAN

Who Means What He Says and Always
Sticks to His Word.
NEW YORK, June 6-The Tribune will
say editorially tomorrow;
Mr.. Blaine was quoted In the dispatches
Of the press agencies as saying on Saturday
afternoon that his resignation had not
been caused or influenced by questions
arising from the National Convention
of this week. The interview as
whole has since been repudiated,
statement is true. Mr.. Blaine, though often
credited with mysterious plans and adroit
wire-pulling, is, in fact one OF the slncerest
and most straightforward of men. He
said four years ago that he was not q candi-
date for the Presidency, and could not
take the nomination a struggle might bring
him. At that moment he was absolutely
sure of the nomin alton, and, as we think,
of the election. But he meant exactly what
he said, he stuck to it, and even sent an
appeal by cable to his friends, in the midst
of the convention, to stop the successful
struggle for him on which they had already
entered.
This time he said exactly the same thing.
To many friends within the past fortnight
he has repeated that he does not wish the
nomination and could not be a candidate
for it. We see no warrant for the offensive as
sumption that he has not meant what he said
now, just as he was proved to mean what he
said in his withdrawal in 1885, which the
whole world now recognizes as the greatest
and most extraordinary act of magnanimous
selt-renunciation ever displayed by an
American statesman.
Undoubtedly, spontaneous and unani-
nous nomination, either as the result Of an
original demand, or as the escape from q
deadlock would compromise acceptance as
it would that of any other American citizen
of the Republican faith, and as it would
have compelled his own acceptance in
1885, But that is a contingency which the
situation at Minneapolis scarcely seems to
it is not contingency which this Bayard Of
American statesmen himself contemplates.
