information was taken hence by
one of the fifteen men torn to
shreds and blown to atoms by
the conclusion. People in the
powder manufacturing business
calculate on their establishments
being partially or wholly wreck
ed by explosions once every
eighteen months. The men who
work about these places are the
most reckless daredevils in any
legitimate business. They take
desperate chances and get big
pay. Their only obituary is a
bad picture in the papers and
line telling that the cross marks

In St. Louis one time powder

2,ooo,o 900 people and a republic

100000 have an indistinct idea

We propose to talk abou
lamps this week. Coal oil lamp'
of every conceivable sort anc
description.
We will start at the entrance
of your house. Does your hal
have hanging lamp, or laml
of any kind to brighten 1t W
evenings and make it agreeabl,
for your guests and tamily2 Gu
hall lamps are beautifully made
the incest kind have B & +
burners improved. One of on
hanging lamps ought to suit you
even if you are very fastidious
If your hall is large one yol
need a chandelier with two o
more lights. We have some yer,
unique designs and late styles
with Bradley & Hubbard iounts
they are in enameled brass ant
hammered iron. All sorts 0
pretty globes and shades go witt
the hall lamps and chandeliers.
When you reach the parlor o
drawing room you must have
lamp there. For large room
one of the chandeliers is neede'
and tor one smaller a tasty an,
neat hanging lamp. Our bar
quet and stand lamps are ais
very attractive. These stand
are trimmed in brass, nickle
plated and hammered iron, ar

China, and have detachabl
founts and with the improve,
B & H burner. Speaking of thi
NEW burner-in Lighting tn
lamp you simply push up par
of the burner, raising Gimme
without smearing the polishe'
; glass with your moist finger:
and should the lamp blow on
you are not obliged to wait unit
n is cool to prevent burnin,
, your fingers. OF course if yo1
have a piano you must have
lamp to 60 with it. Either tn

; of or a regular piano lamp, is tn
thing. The piano lamp is

extension rod is very easil
raised and lowered. To go wit

shades you ever saw. The color

lamps when finished with one O
these shades one of the most a,
tractive features of room.
For the dining room we hav
the banquet lamp and you ca
use some of the same designs a

lamps and chandeliers.
