Gave Her Life For a Child's.

Ellen McGaugh of Newark, N. J.,
recently saved the life of her little cou-
Sin, Mamie McGinnis, at the cost of
her own. Miss McGaugh was talking to
some friends on the street, while the
child played near. The little one re-
peatedly ran into the street, but no one
minded her until suddenly Miss Nc
Gaugh rushed from the group toward
the middle of the street. A trolley car
was speeding along, and directly in front
of it was the little girl The child
seemed lost, but the plucky young wo-
man sprang in front of the car and
pushed the child from the track, She
then tried to run back, but it was too
late. The car, at reduced speed. struck
her and threw her forward along the
track. When she was lifted from the
street, she had been fatally injured,
and she died before the hospital was
tsached. Paterson Standard.

WINDOWS SHATTERED.
A Bomb Went OFF In the Cellar OF Q
Natick Lodging House.


NATIcK, Mass, Aug. 29.-Excitement
prevails here over an unsuccessful attempt
made early yesterday morning TO dow
some 30 Armenians and Swedes into
eternity.
About o'clock the occupants OF tne
boarding house of Hiram P. Ring on. Eos
kett court and the surrounding houses
were awakened by a loud explosion anu
the crashing of breaking glass.
No further disturbance was heard, ana
the wonder as to what caused the explo-
sion prevented many from returning 10
their slumbers before dawn.
AS soon as the smoke and noise had
passed away, an investigation was maze.
In the cellar was found piece OF gas pipe,
three feet long and quite thick, which had
been loaded with an explosive and used as
a bomb.
Every pane of glass in the cellar WIN
dows had been blown to pieces, while the
stone foundation was cracked In several
places. Either it was the intention OF the
person who placed it there to only scare
the occupants, or they knew little about
making bombs, for the powder used was
not sufficient to do much damage.
Landlord Ring attributes the explosion
to revenge on the part of strikers, as MS
dodgers are all non-union men, The
strikers, however, disclaim all knowledge
of the affair

German Tobacconist's Joke.

The following fraud upon an insur-
ance company, which we find in The
Deutsche Tabak-Zeitung, is certainly
just little too good to be true. A cum
ming fellow, who wanted to smoke the
best cigars at the cheapest possible cost,
bought 1000 cigars of the highest quail
ity and corresponding price and imme-
diately insured the whole stock. When
he had smoked the last of them, he de-
manded 750 marks from the insurance
company ON the ground that the whole
of his insured stock, 10 boxes of cigars,
had been consumed by .irel The Solo
monte court decided in favor of the
plaintiff. The company then brought
an action Of conspiracy against the
smoker, accusing him Of having inten-
tionally put fire to his own cigars and
deliberately destroyed his property.
Hereupon the same wise court con-
demned the insured smoker to three
months imprisonment Westminster

HOW SLATE Is MINED.
The Wonderful Skill of the workmen Who
Cut 1t Up.

The Wonderful Skill of the Workmen Who
Cut 1t Up.
The manner in which slate is mined
and cut up for purposes to which it is
applied is process that is known to
only few people in this country, it's
principal sources being in upper New
England and eastern Pennsylvania. 1t
is not taken out of shafts, but it is quar-
ried out of big holes in the earth. Some
time ago, when the writer was at Ban
gor, Pa, he was invited to go down
into one of these quarries, about 200
feet deep and overland on a rope, but
he declined the invitation, as 1 think
most inexperienced persons would do.
The slate is blasted out in huge blocks
and is hoisted out by steam and turned
over to the men who know how to re-
duce it to the proper size. Huge blocks
of it are taken in hand by these work
men, who cut notch into one end Of
each piece Then they take a chisel and
mallet, and they are so skillful in di-
recting their blows that they can split
the blocks Of slate in almost any way
they please. If you watch the slab on
which one of them is working, you will
see a little hair line running through it,
and presently the block will fall apart
on either side of this mark. The work
men will make this line go straight
through the middle, or to either corner
just as he likes. l do not know just how
he does it, but he invariably accom-
plishes what he sets out to do
The smaller pieces thus produced are
taken in hand by another set of men,
who split them up into sheets of the
proper thickness for roofing slate. This
they do with long bladed instrument
about the shape of putty knife, but
many times larger, and if you saw
them do it you would marvel how they
got the sheets only one inch thick and
split it 80 times. The usual number of
divisions is 16. These sheets are taken
and cut into squares by machinery.
Wherever there are slate quarries you
will find great many Welshmen, for
the best skaters come from Wales. Boys
follow the trade of their fathers, and
there are whole families and settlements
who know no other means of earning a
living. New York Advertiser.

Women BicYclists.

The death of the lady cyclist from
syncope after bicycle ride is of course
the text for many fraternal warnings
and advice to lady bicyclists to give up
the enjoyment of an exercise in which
1t is feared they may indulge to excess.
They are, of course, told by some that BIZ
cycling is unladylike, if not unwoman-
~, and that women do not know how
to practice the careful restraint in such
matters to which men are accustomed.
They may very we'll afford, however to
treat all this sage advice as at least su-
perfuous. So far from being unsuited
for women, bicycling is an exercise in
which they may indulge with perfect
security and generally with much adj
vantage We are persuaded that they
are as little prone to excess in athletics
as are the generality of men, and within
reasonable bounds we should like to see
cycling as generally practiced by wom-
en- as by men, and it would be greatly
to the advantage of many cycling clubs
and cycling resorts shat the ladylike
element should be more largely intro
duced. British Medical Journal.

The Loon as a Dodger.

There is no denying that all the looms
ever Matched up to date have been
''artful dodgers" in superlative degree.
The question is often raised whether
they are quick enough to dodge bullet
once had guide who drew distinc-
ton quite too fine, as | thought. He
claimed that loon could see the flash of
a percussion cap at the breech of muz-
zle loading piece and could dodge, but
admitted that, with the rifle loaded like
all modern ones, at the breech, no loon
could escape a shot rightly aimed. For
my part, do not believe the interval of
time between the fire at the two ends of
the barrel to be measurable by eyes of
birds or men or anything short of a
chronograph.
As to the question, however, it is
possible to reason with tolerable conf
dence. We know the speed of a rife
bullet. Call it /, 400 feet second I'm
agine your loon at that distance or
nearer. Then reflect how slowly bird s
head must move to use up more than a
second in dropping few inches under
water. Gravity alone would carry it
farther than that 1t is easy to believe
that if the wary bird happens to be look
ing toward the hunter the rifle flash
suggests danger. A half second would
give ample time to dodge provided the
action began promptly. 1t is safe to say
that it takes looms weight in lead to
kill him, and we may call it settled
that, if loon does not dodge bullet,
at least the lead goes down in the same
hole in the water. Boston Transcript.
