The city OF Santander, the late vic
tim of a dynamite explosion at its
docks, continues panic stricken, and
there has been a general exodus of it,
inhabitants since they became aware
that no less than 400 cases of dynamite
are still submerged under the waters OF
the harbor. According to the opinion
of experts the nitroglycerin in the dy-
namite is bound to explode, sooner OF
later, by reason of the infiltration of
the water. Too much praise cannot be
accorded to the divers who are now, at
the risk Of their lives, engaged in rails
ing the explosive, which is being taken
put to sea and sunk. Santander Dis

ON The FRONTIER.


Two giant minds have stamped the mental
world,
Instructors of our times and times to be;
Toiling to bring man kind to harmony,
Smoke from each study on the frontier curled.
They searched more for finality than growth
Not for the footprint but the thought of God.
They worshiped wisdom in the Christening
rod
That scars transgressors, and yet both
Felt beauty as she moves through cycles vast,
And knew the hopefulness that cheers us
here
In our promotion toward the perfect sphere:
They loved the future and esteemed the past.
Revere their lives o man, for ne'er again
Will this old world contain two lovelier men.
Edward 5. Creamer in New York Sun.

HEALTH BETTER THAN WEALTH..
And You Can't Retain the Former and Give
Exercise the Go BY.

| And You Can't Retain the Former and Give
Exercise the Go By.
DR.. A. Symons Eccles has struck the
keynote of radical improvement in the
general health of city communities
when he says that the most potent fac
tor Of present day ailments is the abey
ance into which the muscular system is
| allowed to fall by dwellers in Cities
who are daily becoming more and more
! dependent ON artificial means of loco
motion and labor saving apparatus, un
til disorders of digestion and nervous
maladies are now as common among
| tine comparatively poor as they are
among the wealthy. The rich man en-
deavOrs to overcome the mischief
wrought by his sedentary life by horse
back exercise or golf, but the poorer
man, who is unable to afford these recre
ations, neglects his muscular develop
ment and invariably tumbles into his
! train or mounts his street car rather
! than waste the time necessary for
brisk walk or half hour in the gym
naslum.
The popularity of the bicycle has
tended to counteract the disuse OF mus
cles engendered in a large proportion of
| town residents, but there are still num-
bers of persons of both sexes who re-
quire vigorous muscular exercise in Or
der to maintain health. Women are
| the victims of modern, social and COM
mercial changes almost if not quite as
much as men. The Capitalization of
many domestic industries may have i'm
proved the character of the products
thrs manufactured or of the work per-
formed, but when bread was made and
washing was done at home the female
members of many families fairly well
off, but not too richly endowed with
this worlds goods, We're profitably en-
plOyed in kneading the dough and iron
ing the linen. One of the results OF
this general disinclinatiOn to take the
amount of exercise essential to health
is the revival of a practice which is re-
corded in the earliest medical papyrus
in the British museum.
The introduction of massage may be
regarded as specific evidence of the ten
dency in these latter days to the neglect
of muscular exercise, and DIR. Eccles
holds that if it be true that the abey-
productive of diseases which can be
cured by the injection of organic l1q-
uids derived from similar source
and modern research has esta blished this
belief-much more Is it evidently true
that the failure to employ the great bulk
of muscular tissue, which is SO large
portion of the human frame, will, and
Invariably does, give rise TO disOrdered
function and altered structure in the
other organs and tissues of the body,
which are inferdependent ON the activ
ity of the muscles and each other. Men
tai and nervous oyerstrain is rarely
disassociated from muscular disuse and
fiaccidity. The burden of DR.. Eecles'
exhortatlon is: 'Eyen if you make a
little less money, take more exercise.
You will save the difference IN doctors
bills and bring more happiness not only
into your own life. but into other peo-
pies. ''-Pittsburg Dispatch,

A Terrible New Rifio

A European correspondent that
the chief surgeon of the R6uRanian
army has been making grewsome exper-
iments with the new Mannlicher rife,
with which the forces are being
equipped. He placed a number of human
bodies in rows, like soldiers on the field
of battle. At 600 meters five bodies were
placed half yard behind each other.
A single bullet went through three bod
les in succession. Upon the soft parts
of the bodies the wounds were perhaps
less serious than those inflicted by the
old fashioned rifles, the hole made by
the bullet being smaller and more even,
but on the whole the injuries are far
more terrible. The range Of the new
rifles is about 21a miles.

Novel Insurance.

At an inquest held in England the
evidence brought to light the queer fact
that the dead mans life had been in
sured for 800 by the liquor dealer whose
bar he chiefly patronized. No secret
was made about the matter, it being
perfectly fair and above board, the liq-
uor dealer only wishing to insure him
self against the loss of business conse-
1uent on the death of valuable GUS
toner. The practice is stated to be
quite frequent. London Letter.

non't Be Mean.

1t was Bob Burdest We believe
who said sometimes wonder wpa'

goes to bed. When he turns down
the light and lies down alone, ne Is

not generous impulse, not a woro

dropped into the palm of poverty,
not the balm of 3 loving word
dropped into an aching heart, no
sunbeams of encouragement cast
upon a struggling life, no strong
right hand of fellowship reaches out
to help some fallen man to his
feet-when none of those things
come to him as the "God bless you

No wonder he sneers when he tries
to smile. How pure aud fair and
good all the rest of the world must
look tc him, and how cherries and
dreary his own path must appear.
Why, even one isolated act OF
meanness is enough to scatter crack
er crumbs in the bed OF the average
man; and what must be the feeling
of man whose whole life is given
up by mean acts? When there is
go much suffering, heartaches and
misery in the world, anyhow, why
should any one add a pound of
wickedness to the general burden?
Don't be mean. Suffer Injustice a

cULBERSON INTERVIEWED.

Hon. ~. Is. CulDeTeou,i III Oh AusSA
view in the Dallas News, speaking
of Mr.. Cleveland's financial views
said: "Mr. Cleveland is confronted
with a condition that did not exist
when he was president before-a
condition which compels him to
maintain, if possible, the parity be-
tween gold and silver. l believe
that Mr.. Cleveland would consent
to the coinage of $500, 900, 900 or
81, 900, 100000 in silver provided
congress would give him the means
to protect the people of the country
from depreciation of either of the
metals. OF course, we free silver
Democrats believe that silver would
take care of itself if it had an OPP
portu 1ity to do So"
Continuing on the sub ject of
b ,nds, among other things, he said;
"Any day the banks of New York
can deplete the gold reserve and
force the sale of bonds or force the
government obligations to dis.
count. We have $346 100000
greenbacks resting in gold reserve,
besides $3.50, 1000 Sherman notes
and 1914 100000 silver certifi Gates
which by construction of the adj
ministration have to be redeemed in
gold when demanded. We thus
present to the world the disgusting
spectacle of trying to uphold more
than 800, 900 600 paper upon
gold reserve, which does not exceed
$40, 900, 600. This condition alarms
the president, and believing that
his authority to sell bonds is not
sufficient to meet the exigencies of
the country he appeals to congress
not to increase the peril of the
situation unless congress will pro-
vide him with the means to take
care of the countrys credit"
Though made by one who does
not agree with Mr.. Cleveland in his
financial views, it is fair statement
of his true position. The issue m ay
be stated in this way MIR. Cleveland
believes to sustain silver, the silver
dollar must be exchanged for gold
at any time and to do this he must
have authority to issue interest bear.
ing bonds with which to procure the
gold with which to redeem them
and in this way maintain the parity
Of the two dollars. If he is correct
in his theory that the remonetiza-
ton of silver would not restore the
parity of the two metals, the gov
eminent had just as we'll sell its sill
yer bullion in the markets as com.
modify and issue its notes to pay,
for it can sustain its promises to
pay, when stamped on paper, with
its gold reserve just as easily as it
can protect its silver promises
to pay. The silver men be
lieve if silver were by law recog.
nizsd as one of the money metals it
would, as Mr.. Culberson says:
"Take care of itself"
One thing is certain, if the gold
men are correct and congress will
give the president the authority the
bonded interest bearing debt of the
nation would be increased when.
ever Wall street or Lombard street
desire it.
