The Circus Kitchen.

At five minutes past a shout from
the crowd indicates the approach Of the
three huge cook wagons, each weighing
90 tons and drawn BY six horses. From
the first of them rise three chimneys,
ont OF. which black smoke Is pouring.
This wagon carries the l6 foot cooking
range, where fires were started the mo-
ment the wagon was unloaded from the
train. Already, while rolling toward the
circus grounds, the ten cooks have beer
making active preparations for the break
fast which must be served within two
hours to 700 hungry people.
When the three wagons have drawn
up on the site Of the still unraised cook
tent, three butchers with heavy cleavers

Robert Collyer's Father.

And now about my father, writes the
Rev. Robert Collyer, D. D., in The La
dies Home Journal I think still he
was as good smith as I have ever
known, a man who would forge no lie
in iron or steel, with soft, steadfast
brown eyes, strong and sinewy arms to
labor and never sick a day can re-
member, always ct his work until he
fell dead that day with the hammer in
his hand. kBlacksmiths, I think, are usu-
ally silent men, The old Beechers were,
as have heard, who were Of this craft,
silent men who left the pent up speech tc
their sons and grandsons. This was my

AN uNLuckY SPARK.
The Greatest Explosion Of 0unpowder the
world Has Ever Known.

The Greatest Explosion o. 0unpowder the
world Has Ever Known.
The greatest explosion Of gunpowder
the world has ever known took place at
the Du Points works ON the 9TH Of Octo-
Der. 1890. With their usual cautious
policy the Du Points have never stated
just how great quantity OF powder ex-
ploded at this time, but it is certain
that three magazines and three mills in
the upper yard were blown up, one after
another, and safe estimate will put
the quantity Of powder exploded at $50
tons. In this explosion IL men and l
woman were instantly killed, while 90
men and women were injured, some
fatally.
The explosion occurred little after 8
o'clock in the afternoon. It began in the
magazine for hexagonal powder, the
kind used in large guns, and the most
dangerous, being made not in grains,
but in reddish, six sided cakes about an
inch and a half in diameter, and an inch
thick, with small hole running through
the center. These cakes look like moth
ing so much as the nuts on wagon
wheel At the time Of the explosion
cakes Of powder were being packed into
large wooden boxes lined with tin, each
box being about 8 feet square The tin
Innings projected above the tops of the
boxes about two inches, and when box
was packed were folded down over a tin
cover fitted closely upon the cakes OF
powder. It was the duty Of one Of the
workmen, William Green, to solder
these tin edges down upon the tin cover,
hot iron being used for this purpose.
On the day in question what he had
| feared came to pass. A fellow work
man, William McGarvey, was bringing
him the hot irons from charcoal brazier
about % yards distant. Green stood at
the door Of the open magazine, and all
| around him were uncovered boxes filled
with the hexagonal powder ready to be
sealed and slowed away. There were
also dozens of boxes that had beer
sealed. Just what happened will never
be known, for neither Green nor Nc
Garvey was left to tell the story. But
the probability is one Of the soldering
irons was little too hot, and by touch
ing particle of dirt on the tin cover
produced the deadly spark. Cleveland

altogether-and it steals in with the very

Not Quite Right.

No man is hero to his valet, and
perhaps no poet to his baker. He lives
in Putney, and almost every day he
walks few miles to Wimbledon and
goes to cakeshop there, where he buys
cakes to give to a little group Of poor
children, who have learned to look for
ward to this frequent treat. Some one
who knew the poet by sight said to the
shopkeeper, "Do you know who this
gentleman who buys SO many cakes of
you is?'
