To keep flowers looking well the wa

should be carefully adjusted with rela-
tion to each other SO no two tall speci-
mems should appear together. A little
sunlight may do no harm, but cut flow-
ers exposed to the full rays of a power
full sun wilt at once, and a pretty ar
rangement is soon spoiled. Early morn
ing is the proper time to pick flowers.
They should be Immediately sprayed
with rubber sprinkler, which, by the
way, is invaluable TO one who is gather

flowers carelessly-a handful of them

Look Toward the Light.

In sickroom there was little rose
bush in a pot in the window. There
was only one rose on the bush, and its
face was turned full toward the light.
This fact was noticed and spoken of,
when one said that the rose would look
no other way save toward the light.
Experiments had been made with It; it
had been turned away from the window,
it's face toward the gloom Of the interior,
but in little time it would resume its
old position. With wonderful persist
ence it refused to keep its face toward
the darkness and insisted on ever look
ing toward the light. The rose has its
lesson for as.
We should never allow ourselves to
face toward hfe's gloom. We should
never sit down in the shadows of any
sorrow and let the night darken over MS
into the gloom Of despair. We should
turn our faces away toward the light
and quicken every energy for braver
duty and truer, holier service. Grief
should always make us better and give
as new skill and power; ii should make
our hearts softer, our spirits kindlier,
our touch more gentle; it should teach
rs its holy lessons, and we should learn
them, and then go on with sorrows sa-
cred ordination upon us to new love and
better service.-Selected

A Strange Incident In the Closing Scenes os

II can recall strange incident that

said member Of the New York con-
gressional delegation to q Post reporter
1T happened in Long Island, in the
Queens county Jail, and, to say the least.
Is tinged with q strangeness. Patrick
Casey, Long Island City policeman,
was an inmate OF the Jail. under tina
sentence of death for the deliberate
murder Of his superior officer, Sergeant
Cumiskey. The representative in con-
gress from he First congressional dis
trict of New York, James w. Covert,
was Casey's counsel and succeeded in
having his sentence commuted to inn
prisonment for life. On the day Casey
was sentenced to death pure white

alighted on his shoulder.
"The dove refused to be removed, &C
companied Casey back to his cell and
became his constant companion. AT the
same time Charles Rugg, the notorious
negro murderer, was also an inmate of
the Jail. awaiting trial for the murder
Of Mrs. Lydia Maybe and her daughter.
just previous to the day set for his trial
Rugg escaped from the Jail, but two
days later was captured and returned to
the Jail The day of his capture was the
day set for Casey's removal to Sing

was being taken from the Jail and while
in the sheriff's Office being prepared for
his journey Rugg was led in by his

why the Pcpuiist Party is Not Party Of
s Reform.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Aug. 15.--E. J. Hol-
den formerly president Of the Citizens
alliance, and author Of several works on
the financial question, has new work
IN press here, advance sheets Of which
were seen by an Associated Press re-
porter. In it he denounces the attitude
q the Populist party towards reform,
claiming that it can accomplish no good
because it is not organized and because
it, creed is defective, and which he says
must be rejected by intelligent voters;
that the attitude Of the party leaders il
such as to subject them to suspicion.
he severely criticizes the Omaha plat
form as principally consisting OF de-
rnands that are impossible of being
complied with, and that complied with
would only result in making q
bad state Of AfFairs Worse.
He claims that the nom partisan
Farmers Alliance movement was be.
trayed at the Cincinnati convention
intola partisan clique Of hunters after
Office, and this, in spite of the protests
CT Polk, Powderly, Beaumont and other
true reformers. He declares that itheiI
steps must all be retraced and the work
OF Independent organizations all gone
over again, and the effort must be made
TO hold the balance of power as indie
| pendent voters instead of Populists. II
this Ii done he declares that either o.
both of the older parties will cease an
tagonizing what is good in the reform
movement, and that by holding thu
balance of power the alliance can elect
such men of either party as are pledged
to reform movements.

BLASTING GELATIN.
One Of the Most Important Explosives, and
How It 1s Made.

One Of the Most Important Explosives, and
How It Is Made.
BY far the most important as well as
the latest form Of dynamites or solidi-
fed nitroglycerin are those designated
not too happily as blasting gelatins. =
Many persons imagine, quite naturally,
that these consist Of some form OF gela-
tin, isinglass or glue, converted by
chemical means into powerful explo-
sive. But blasting gelatin contains
no particle whatever of gelatin, prop
erly SO called, the term being applied to q
mixture Of nitroglycerin and nitrocel-
lulose. Ii is prepared at Ardeer, in Ayr
shire. N. B., by heating nitroglycerin
in "jacketed" pans to between 40 de-
grees and water at 60 degrees Gao
degrees F.--a certain proportion Of dry
gun cotton of the soluble" kind. A
current Of hot water at go degrees c.
lao degrees +. circulating between
the outer and inner pans keeps the con-
tents Of the latter at the required tenn
perature, and the mixing is effected by
mechanical stirrers.
Any rise of temperature above 40 de-
grees Glib degrees F.--is quickly
checked by turning into the outer
Jacket" stream of cold water in place
of the hot for time. In the course of
about an hour the nitrocotton is dis
solved in the nitroglycerin. the two
bodies uniting to form more or less
stiff homogeneous jelly. Il may indeed
be compared to the Photographic colo
dion, thickened by evaporation, the gun
cotton having been dissolved not in the
usual alcohol ether mixture, but in nj
troglycerin. When composed of 93 per
cent of the latter, with Z per cent cot
ton. we get most powerful explosive
Mr.. q. Macroberts, the manager at
Ardeer, observes upon this point:
OF all the nitroglycerin explosives
blasting gelatin is the strongest. III the
energy of dynamite be represented by
100, that Of blasting gelatin will be $50.
Nitrogelatin itself shows less energy
than blasting gelatin. Nineteenth
