The Shirt Weist.

There is a law of compensation, and it
will be fulfilled some day, to the man who
hates the sight of woman in shirt waist,
if the thing that is always promising comes
to pass at last, and her skirt and shirt
waist actually part company. 1t is true
that shirt waists are not particularly pretty
except on pretty girls but there is really
no sense in their making every woman q
scarecrow. Here is an invariable rule for
adjusting n shirt waist suit, and neatness
will be the actual result Draw the waist
down in front to comfortable tightness
and pin to the corset with belt pin.
Draw it down the same way in the back
and fasten at the belt line to the corset
string with tiny safety pin. Put on the
skirt, having band that is a tight fit. No
other band ought to be put on dress. Put
the band under the skirt and pull the
waist down evenly all around, then lift
the band in the back a little, and with q
long belt pin fasten to the corset string
and the waist as well. Stick a belt through
the skirt and waist on each side, then put
on your belt and be happy, because you
will not lose your skirt. Washington Star.

CHILDREN OF THE PAST.

low They Compared With the Progressive
Youngsters of Today.
Children were trained to show some
thing like oriental Difference to their par
ents. They acquiesced contentedly as
matters of course in tho homely fare and
the rigorous discipline. In the stricter
households they stood up in the parental
presence till they had fosnal permission to
be seated. They punctiliously addressed
the house father as sir and their mother as
madam. There was no lack of love, but
certainly there was no coddling. Vener-
able ladies who have in some way I1ade
their mark have been falling into the fash
ion of writing autobiographies. Perhaps
on the principle of forsan ct haec olim,
ETC., they all linger fondly on their child
hood and girlhood, giving many curious
and suggestive details. Their wardrobes
nt the best were wonderfully limited. A
single frock for great occasions sufficed for
their simple wants. They wore cotton
stuffs in the depth of winter and were in
dulged with little in tho way Of warm un-
derclothing.
They dressed in flreless garrets and dis
pensed with washing if they could not
break the frozen water in the pitchers. We
have spoken OF tho single gala dress, and
with regard to that there is a story told by
Miss Sinclair in her Holiday House, "
which shows how little attention was paid
to juvenile coquetry. A pervcrse child, en-
gagged to go to an afternoon parry, slips into
astream, soaking that only dress. Her hopes
of pleasure were high, SO the disappoint-
ment was severe. But, little as she de-
served it, she escapes retributive Justice,
and good genius comes to the rescue in q
managing woman who dries and irons the
drenchcd garment Our contemporary
story tellers are sensational enough, but no
one of them would hazard an episode SO
extravagant. 1t is unimaginable that any
tiny woman of the dav would submit her
self in such attire to disparaging criticism.
Mortified vanity would turn the gayety to
gall, and sorrow in solitude would be a
thousand times preferable. Re-
view.

THE PUBLIC DEBT
Twelve Million Dollars Increase for the nonth
Of August

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The monthly
statement of the public debt i\>ued from
the treasury department shows that at
the close of business yesterday the public
debt less cash in treasury was 1918. .497 1856,
which is an increase for the month of s12.-
342, ,6S4, which is accounted for by the loss
of nearly exactly that amount of cash on
hand due to the excess of expenditures over
receipts.
The debt is recapitulated as follows:
Interest bearing debt. sS47, 1854, 26O; debt on
which interest has ceased since maturity,
ST. 622. $50; debt bearing no interest, sS72.
S56,476 This amount, however, does not
include $563, 456, 237 in certificates and treas
ury notes outstanding and Offset by an
equal amount Of cash in the treasury The
cash In the treasury is classified as follows:
Gold. $139, S25.2OO; silver $513,647, 100; paper,
SIT, ,923, 56S; bonds, disbursing officers bal
ances, etc, $17,992,276, making a total of
$S49, 3SS.746 against which there arc demand
liabilities amounting to s604 S02. .342, which
leaves $243. .346, 400 in cash in the treasury.
The interest bearing debt of the govern
ment is shown by the statement to have
been s1,1s2, 050 on March /, 1896; $s44 1O6, :
220 on March 1. 1890; $685., ,0SO 26O on March /,

A Girls Girl Friend.

"Have friend, but guard your friend
ship and your friend as you would crys-
tai vase" Once the crystal vase is broken
all the careful mending in the world can
never make it as it was, and once there has
come in your friendship the words that
Jared, the actions that were unkind and
the looks that see to cut like knife, the
friendship, like the beautiful vase, can
never be as it was. And what is girl
without girl friend? She stands alone
Men think that she must differ from other
women, and that there must be something
about her less sweet and less feminine than
that which pervades her sisters. I am q
believer in the girl friend. Any girl can,
with very little trouble, gain the admira-
tion of a man, but it takes something finer,
something better and something more
charming to attract u woman and to make
and keep her friend. In all the history
of the world there Is nothing so fine as the
friendship Of women.-Ruth Ashmore in

at PinOle
TWELVE MEN WERE KILLED
And the California Powder Works
Utterly Demolished
A $4,000 Plant Erected for saisty's Sake
Lasted Just Three Days-The Owners
VIII Rebuild
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
PINOLE, Cal, Sept. 1.-At 1903 p. m
| today a terrible explosion occurred at
| the California powder works. The new
| nitro glycerine house and the mixing
house were blown to atoms. Eight Chi
nese and four white men were killed.
Following are the killed:
w. w. Crater, foreman of the packing
house.
]. McNulty, foreman Of the mixing
house.
John Fritz, car driver.
M. G. Moitoza, car driver.
Crater had just left his department to
go over to the mixing house to give an
order for powder and probably reached
the door of the mixing house just as the
explosion took place. His body was
found about $50 feet distant in a ravine,
while the bodies of McNulty and the
eight Cinnamon wer>E,own to atoms.
The bodies of Fritz and Moitoza We're
found above the mixing house near the
carload of nitro they were handling.
The horse they were driving was killed.
The new nitro glycerine plant was used
last Saturday for the first time since its
completion. This plant was erected at
cost of over 1000 and had refriger-
ator plant in connectino with Tito cool
the nitro glycerine. 1t was thought un-
der this process it would lessen the dan
ger of an explosion great deal over the
old process. The glycerine house and
the mixing house were about quarter
of mile apart and the oil was sent from
the glycerine house to the mixing house
in wooden trough. The cause of the
explosion is unknown but it is positive
ly stated that the mixing house eXplod-
ed first and the trough leading to the
glycerine house acted in the manner of
a fust and started the glycerine house.
There was ten minutes time between the
two explosions and the fir0 gave the
men in the glycerine house warning and
they had time to escape. About fifteen
hundred pounds of dynamite was ex-
ploded in all. The explosion was SINH
lar to the one a year ago last May. All
the buildings of the works are more or
less shattered. The total destruction of
property will amount to $4,000 or $50, 900.
The rubbish of the glycerine house i'm
mediately took fire and the fire spread
in an easterly direction. All available
men were put to work to stay it's pro-
gress but it spread to Rodeo, distance
of two miles. While):he fire was burn
ing several small explosions took place,
being caused by pieces of wodd soaked
with nitro glycerine which had been
blown around. The fire engine from
Port Costa had to be called into service
to check the fire. Several of the en-
ployes in other parts of the works mar
rowly escaped serious injury. Harry
Furness was badly cut about the head
and hands. He was in the carpenter
shop when the explosion took place and
and the roof fell in on him. Work will
be Immediately commenced to rebuild
the plant.

THE LEADVILLE STRIKE
Gloom Caused by the Stopping of Miners
Pumps

LEADVILLE, Sept. 1.-The stoppage of
the Penrose and Bon air pumps and the fear
that other pumps will be shut down fills
the people with gloom. A prominent mine
superintendent said today that it will re-
quire three or four months to repair the
damage done the flooded mines since last
Saturday. At this rate it is impossible
to estimate the damage from any lengthy
suspension of pumping. The conditions
here are such that water infiicts serious
damage more rapidly than in many other
mining districts. The strikers profess to
view the situation as being more favorable
to them and claim to have information to
the effect that the compact between the
managers is broken irretrievably and that
some mines will resume work within a
week, conceding the demands Of the union
A meeting of business men held tonight to
petition the union to declare the strike off
but did not decide upon definite action.

To Wet Fry.

To wet fry is to immerse in hot fat, and
this method it is of which cooks arc so
much afraid, which constitutes real fry
ing. The FIRST necessity for it is to have
plenty of f.t--sufficient that is, to cover
the food all over, so that the heat shall be
conveyed to every part alike, above and be-
low. Nor need it be supposed that to use
a quantity of fat thus is e1travagant. 1t
is, on the contrary, economical, as the fat
can be used again and again. The small
quantity Of fat that is melted in frying
pan gets burned and is always thrown out,
whereas fat properly cared for need never
be thrown out. 1t is strained free from
any little pieces Of bread or batter that
may have got into it; is washed when dirty,
and can be constantly rcnweed little
pieces Of fat being melted or drained into
it, thus keeping UP its bulk and also its
quality. 1t is never allowed to burn, be-
cause it is never left on tho hot plate a
moment after it has done its work.-Wom.

GUNPOWOER IN EARLY DAYS.
Possibly It Was Used In Warfare Refol
the Beginning of History.

the beginning OF History
People outside of military life who have
no connection with the making of gun
powder know 1t only as coarse black
powder, like black sand, which will fash
off with loud report if shut up in q case
Of any kind and set on fire.
1t is a very queer mixture, made up Of
three simple and we'll known substances,
no one of which will explode, although two
will burn. Nobody knows when or how
1t was discovered for as far back into the
dark ages MS records or tradition will car
ry us we find that gunpowder, though not
used for guns, was known. 1t was, no
doubt, looked upon with awe and fear by
the ancients on account of its flame, its
noise and its rending force, but their lin
little use for it.
Possibly it was used in warfare long be-
fore the beginning of history, but the first
man in historical times to form an idea Of
the terrible destruction which this awful,
bursting, fiery substance might produce
was an English monk named Roger Bacon.
Monks, in his day, were the chemists,
scholars and writer's Of the world, and this
Roger Bacon travelled and studied much
and made continual experiments in his
laboratory to prove for himself and to de-
velop what he learned from others. He
probably saw gunpowder among the Moors
in Spain and tried for himself its explosive
effect Then he wrote of its composition in
the year 1867, and in his writing suggest
ed that it could be used in engines of war
to deal death and destruction to armies Of
men.
Soon after Roger Bacon's time his sug-
gestions were taken up, and guns were con-
structed first by binding iron bars together
with hoops to form tube, then by casting
q tube out Of brass, with one end closed.
Stones suitable Of size were selected as
shot, and the powder had to be carried
around in chests or barrels and shoveled
into tho muzzles Of the guns, the stones
being rolled in after it. In spite Of these
drawbacks very large guns were built for
there was one used by Mohamlned II
against the Greeks at the siege of Constan-
tinople in 1853 which threw a stone weigh
ing 600 pounds a distance Of one mile.-
