In the manufacture and sale OF musical IN

all kinds, and the large buildings when a
few years ago amply sufCed for their pur-
roses are now taxed to the utmost TO ac-
commodate their working army of three
hundred skilled mechanics The business
done by them In brass band supplies alone
is enormous, and covers tho entire United
States, from Bangor to Tia Juana, ana
from Whatcom to De Funiak springs
Their succes IS has been won by years OF
earnest work. combined with careful atten-
ton to the needs of the musical public and
as result the American made guitar,
banjo, mandolin, or any other instrument
is preferred " the best judges to the finest
work of foreign MANUFACTURES.
1t is a real pleasure to an American
Journalist to record such an achievement,
because, while we are justly proud OF our
great stock yards. our colossal elevators
and our immense shipping interests, 1t IS
something more to know that our people
have not neglected the more elevated fields,
but stand prominently forward in them

The First SOup.

The eXiles who took refuge in Lon.

luton met the poverty and the hard
ships of their lot with much courage.
They never begged and it was often
difficult 10 induce them to accept the

The women did not accept the par
TALLY worn and soiled clothing Of
wealthy and charitably inclined la
dies, as most women of their condi-
ton would be glad to do, but man
aged with the cheapest materials to
dress neatly and tastefully.
Their necessities developed an in
ventive spirit. The records of the
London patent Office at the beginning
of the eighteenth century have on
every page such names as Blondeau
Dupin, Cardonel. Gastineau, Leblond,
and Courant. How ingenious they
were in utilizing the most unpromiS-
ing of materials is shown by their in
vention Of a now famous dish.
When the London butchers slaugh-
tered their beef they were accustomed
to throw away the tails with the ref
use. The French women had the
bright idea of buying them, since
they could get them for next to moth

thus they gave to England the pop
ular oX-tail soup, which loyal English
men now consider an essentially ma
tional diSh.-Iouth'S Companion.

ST. Louis, Mo-, July 26.-Furious at

in the river and forced on by the flood
of sewage and water thrown upon the
recent Waters Pierce oil fire, the gas
in the great Mill Creek sewer, gener
ated by the escaping stock and heated
by the intense summer sun, exploded
about ) o'clock this afternoon, wreck
ing fully one-half of the sewer, the
largest of the city's drainage system,
and causing a known loss of two lives,
iniuring three others, with possibly
other fatalities to be revealed by the
plosion occurred immediately under the
wholesale liquor house of Carl +.
Fuchs, 1914 South Fourth Street, which
stood directly over the sewer, and was
followed al instant later by an up
heaval 100 feet further east, across
Third Street, the latter explosion com
pletely wrecklng the Iron Mountain
Railroad southern yards and extending
nearly 900 feet to the very edge of the
river. At Fuchs liquor house the gas
lifted up the basement and first floors
of the building and escaping, let the
wreckage fall back to the bottom of
the Shiny stream, leaving the second
and third floors badly shaken, but
still in position. Scarcely had the eX-
plosion occurred than the police,
fire and ambulance departments
were summoned to the scene and
body to be taken from the wreckage of

keeper, who was stone dead and badly
mangled by the explosion. Search for
Fuchs, who was known to be in the
store, was then pursued, but SO far no
trace of the remains had been found.
1t is, however, considered certain that
the body is either in the wreckase at
that point or has fioated down and
lodged against the debris, falling into
the sewer at the place of the second up
neaval. The wounded, so far rs known,
are: Mrs. Trimble, who was injured by
flying debris: her little son, who was
with her, and Charles Humpe, who
was standing in the front part of the
wrecked building, and was, with the
the front, blown far out into Fourth
Street. None of the injured suffered
seriously. The force of the ex-

Legal Light and Power

1t is little amusing to note the
curious questions which arise CON
corning electricity. Recently the
Edison Company of st. Etienne,
France, was summoned before a
tribunal of commerce by one of
its customers, and declined to submit
to the jurisdiction of the court, on
the ground that the supply of cleo
triCity from central station did not
constitute commercial act. and as
serted that the company only sold a
product which it gathered from ma
ture and which was, in legal phraS,,
a res mullins. The Tribunal of Com
merce insisted upon trying the case,
and was upheld by a superior court.
SO that from this time on, in France
at least. electricity must be deemed
manufactured article, though no
body, not even inventors like Edi-
son, Bell. Brush, or scientific investi-
gators like Tesla, Thomson or
Hertz, yet know what it is. We
have at least taken one step forward,
and now know what legal" cleo
tricity is in France: it is "a manu-
featured article"

Soap.

a philosopher has remarked that
the enlightenment of people can be
measured by their consumption Of
soap. A traveller in the Suudan says
that "a cake of soap is the only thing
a negro will not steal and eat sec
Ond time" The word has a number
of meanings. It's significance as a
prediction infiuencer of votes is
well understood. Many theatrical
celebrities, as well as some who have
become conspicuous in the pulpit, see
tit to emphasize their nOtoriety by
vouching for the superlative merits
of some brand Of soap. The daily
use of the article is one of the things
which distinguish the civilized man
from the beast. In this age of free
water and cheap soap no human being
is to be excused for filth of person.
The young Jewess who called to her
mother and asked whether she should
wash for high neck or a low neck
dress" was probably imbuod with the
provcrbial economy of her race. a
country girl who evidently favored
cleanliness of person said she
washed her face every week,
aud oftener if it needed it," This,
of course, is little better than
no washing. There is nothing on
this mysterious orb which is so dis
gustingly offensive to intelligent be-
ings as personal naStineSs. There
can be no excuse for not keeping
clean. Soap, water benzine, sponges,
brushes, and towels are plenty, and
cleanliness is next to godlinesS.
Whatever else you do keep clean in
person and apparel if you hope to
deserve anything but the disgust of
those you unavoidably meet. 1t is a
maxim in all enlightened circles that
untidineSs and uncleanliness in dress
and person will damn any man or
woman guilty of such violations of
decency. Hence soap is a great fac
tor in human affairs and absolutely
essential to all who hope to be Chris
tians or even reputable people.
