1t was at about 80 this morning when
the fearful explosion occurred. The full
complement Of employees was at work In
the room. Suddenly and without warning
dsafening explosion took place.
In an instant the air was filed with
shrieks and agonizing cries. Forty feet OF
the side of the building were blown out
and hurled In pieces some distance away.
The air was flied with flying debris and
fragments of human bodies were scattered
in sickening manner.
Every employe in the mammoth plant,
as well as residents in that section, were
only too familiar with this sort of thing
and operations were instantly susr cnded.
Enormous crowds flocked to the scene.
The explosion occurred in that depart
ment which is known as the loading
room. Employed in this room were $50
hands, about 100 of whom were girls and
women.
e Nearly all of the female hands are en-
ployed on what are known as the loading
machines. These machines are so con-
structed as to require three operators.
The receptacle holding the powder has a
capacity of one pound of the explosive and
as fast as the powder is exhausted pow der
boy replenishes the supply.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
1T WILL PROBABLY NOT BE HELD
NOW BEFORE OCTOBER.
Rev..Charles II. Brent ls the Leading Candidate
For the Coadjutor Blshoprlc.

Hon. John II. Stiness, secretary OF the
standing committee of the Episcopal do
cese of Rhode Island, says that In all
probability 1t will be October before
another convention will be In session for
the election of bishop coadjutor.
In the meantime, the principal topic of
conversation among Episcopalians, es-
pecially In the smallers out of town
parishes, Is relative to the election and It's
probable result.
There will be numerous candidates when
the time comes but as yet nothing has
been done in the way of canvassing.
The one thing that may be anticipated
with certainty Is that the bishop coad-
tutor will come from outside of the dio-
cese.

Woman,s Debt to Society.

Woman stands as the sacred guardian
of future homes and our nations pros
perity, and to her must we look for
true reforms. To her standard must
society come. Let her be sure to place
it high and keep it pure, and make il
apply impartially to all people. Let her
keep out those whom she knows fall
short of her standard, and never con-
done in the stronger sex what she con-
dennis in the weaker. Let her think
not to elevate society by hiding or con-
Goning the evils which surround her
on every side, but only by shutting out
those whom she has found it impossi-
BILE to raise to her standard. Then flu
ture generations will arise who will
bless her for their heritage, instead Of
.cursing her for their misery.-Dwight
L. Moody, in Ladies' Home Journal.

The wife of well-to-do Vermont
farmer called the attention of her hus-
band to newspaper article describing
q wedding, where the groom had COM
pensated the minister Tor his services
In farm produce. "How ridiculous!"
commented the good lady.
Her husband smiled "It isn't the
ordinary thing" he remarked, "but
then people who live in glass houses
mustn't throw stones"
What do you mean, jonas Farmer?"
asked his wife, sharply.
"Well," returned Jonas, "when mar
ried you paid the minister two pigs
and he gave me 35 cents change" And
laugh, to the great discomfort of his
wife.
1--WE lived with you 80 years and
never heard that before" she said, ''and
should like to know what you mean
by it. / believe you're saying that just
to hector me-"
"No, M'ri," answered her spouse,
"Fll tell you how it happened"
"You know 1 had been running tho
farm for father before we were mar
ried, and Parson Steadman, who mar
ried us, had just come to town. He
wanted couple of pigs and came over
to our place to get them. 1 was gone,
but the hired man sold them to him by
weight, and they amounted to just
S10.35.
"Parson Steadman told the man that
he hadn't the money by him, but would
be over again in a few days and would
settle, and the hired man told him that
would be all right.
swell, when we were married gave
the parson brand-new ten-dollar bill,
one that I had got clean from the bank
for that purpose.
"Next morning bright and early over
came the parson to our place. He asked
the hired man if I was at home, and
when / came out he was pretty much
surprised to see that l was the same
man that he had married the night
before. He turned kind of red and
looked little queer, and said he had
come over to settle for those two pigs,
and he took from his pocket that very
ten-dollar bill thatI gave him the night
before and 35 cents besides and handed
them to me.
81 burst out laughing, and he looked
kind of sober for minute, then he
burst out laughing, too.
"'If I had recognized you as the man
had owed for the pigs when you were
at my house last night he said, Il could
have handed you the 35 cents and we
should have been square,
$50, you see, M'ri, that while wewent
through the form of passing money
back and forth you were practically
bought for two pigs, minus IS cents."-

OVEREATlNG.
Americans Eat Food That Is Too
Nutritious.

nutritious.
1t has been computed by some one
fond of mathematical calculations that
if the food which is consumed in Great
Britain not only in excess of need, but
to the actual harm of the eaters, could
be saved and sent to India it would
more than supply the wants of the
starving thousands in that country.
This computation is, of course, little
more than a guess, but it serves to
emphasize the fact that many, perhaps
the majority of mankind above the
ranks of the very poor, sin against
themselves daily by overeating.
An English hygienist of repute says
that large proportion of the ill which
ntflict men past the middle life are due
TO errors in diet, chiefly in the direction
of excess in quantity. He even goes so
far as to make the deliberate assertion
that more mischief in the shape of less.
ened resisting powers, actual disease
and shortened life comes to the inhab-
itants of northern Europe from their
habits of eating than from their abuse
of alcoholic liquors.
And what is said of Englishmen APP
plies with equal fierce to Americans.
We not only eat too much and too often,
but we eat food that is too nutritious
In proportion to it's bulk; in other
words, we eat too much meat.
Not only are govt and rheumatism
favored, or, as some eminent authori-
ties contend, solely caused by too much
meat, but even certain tumors are
thought 10y many to be FASTENED in
their growth by the same means.
For the majority of city jewellers,
especially brain-workers, three meals
a day are too many; two are all sutii-
cient for most people, and many are
better off with meat only once in the "a
hours. The other meals should be
slight, consisting of bread, butter,
cheese, milk, green vegetables and
fruit.
There is an unfounded prejudice
against nuts, which are regarded as in
digestible, but that is because they are
eaten at the wrong time, both fruit and
nuts are excellent foods, but they
should be taken at the beginning of
breakfast or luncheon, instead of at the
end of the meal.-Youth's Companion.

Sfmple Salad.

Small potatoes, not suitable to cook
for ordinary use, should be laid aside
and used for salads. Boil them, and
while warm peel and slice thin; chop
some parsley and an onion and add to
the sliced potatoes; sprinkle with salt
and pepper and pour over two or three
dessertspoonfuls of oil or melted but
ter and moisten the whole with vinegar.
Sliced beet and cucumber can be added
to the salad before the oil and vinegar
nre mixed with the potatoes. - Good
Housekeeping.

Point I'm Preserving Fruit.

A very good authority on fruit pre-
serving considers that the plan followed
by many housekeepers, of using small
proportion of sugar, and in consequence
boiling the preserve longer, is a fallacy,
as the more sugar used the greater the
bulk of preserve obtained, less being
wasted in long boiling and evaporation,
while the flavor of the fruit is more re-
tanned. A quick fire should be used,
and, of course, the preserve continual
ly stirred, the skum being taken off as it
rises. To judge if the preserve has
boiled long enough drop little into
glass of cold water. IL it does not
spread or mix, it is done enough. Or
another way is to drop little on plate.
If it does not run on the plate, it is suf-
ficiently boiled and should at once be
poured.-Boston Budget.

OLDEST OF BRITISH FAMILIES.
Some OF Them Date Back to the
Tenth Century.

Some of Them Date BACK to the
Tenth Century.
AS result of recent investigations it
has been shown that the foundation of
the families of about a dozen of the 400
barons of the British house of lords
dates back to 1400, the earliest being
1864. The oldest family in the British
isles is the Mars family of Scotland,
1893.
The Campbells of Argyll began in
100, Talleyrand dates from 1109, Bis
marck from 1870, the Grosvenor family,
the dukes of Westminster, 1866; the
Austrian house of Hapsburg goes back
to 952 and the house of Bourbon to S64.
The descendants Of Mahommed, born
$40, are all registered carefully and
authoritatively in book kept in Mecca
by the chief of the family. Little or no
doubt exists of the absolute anthem
ITCHY of the long line of Mahommed's
descendants.
In China there are many old families;
also among the Hebrews. But" says
an authority, "when 1t comes to pedi-
grees, there is one gentleman to whom
the world must take Off his hat, not as
facile princeps or primus inter pares,
but as the great and only nonesuch.
This is the mikado of Japan" His place
has been filled by members of his fam
lily for more than $500 years. The pres
ent mikado is the one hundred and
twenty-second of the line. The first
one was contemporary with Nebuchad-
nezzar, GOO years before Christ. OF the
seven great religions enumerated by
Max Muller as possessing Bibles, the
mikado family is older than five.
Since all of us have the consolation of
knowing that we are descended from
the first family, it makes no difference
if some Of the early records are lost, ex-
cept so far as they relate to recent prop
erty titles.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

THE LONG, HARD Hi.
rhey were standing in the sunlight

They were standing In the sunlight
OF the summer time Of life:
She was still without husband,
He was waiting for a wife.
And her cheeks were rich and rosy,
And her lips were luscious red,
30 he pressed her dimpled fingers
AS he looked at her and said,
As they stood there in the heather
Where the road had crossed the rill:
May we not fare together
Up this long, hard hill?
Now her hand began to tremble
And her eyes were full of tears
AS she trained them on the road that
Wound away among the years;
But she had no voice to answer
Him; she could not understand,
For the future lay before her
Like q far-off fairy land.
There was sunlight on the heather,
There was music in the rill,
As they went away together
Up the long, hard hill.
Oftentimes thu way was sunny.
Other times twas full of lures,
But the love that had come to them
Was the true love that endures.
Though the bonny brow Is wrinkled,
Though the raven lock be gray,
Yet the road might have been rougher
Had she gone the other way.
Now the frost Is on the heather
And the snow Is on the rill,
And they're coasting down the short side
OF the long, hard hill.

WOMAN AND HOME.
WEDDING INVITATIONS.
The Correct Form of the Day I'm
Fashionable Circles.

rAsnhOnuDIe CircIes.
Wedding invitations have greatly
changed in the past few months. The
fashionable wedding invitation is no
longer printed on the sheet of note
paper which folds to fit Il square en-
velope, the sheet now used for that
purpose being Gh inches long and 5A
wide, thereby requiring an oblong en-
velope. The paper has smooth, dull
finish, like parchment, instead of the
former glazed surface. The script on
the new invitations is about the same
size as that on the old ones, and the
words and lines are brought rather
nearer together, so that the wording
occupies the center of the sheet, with
wide margins about it, while some peo-
pie even use what is termed the para
graph form, in which the words run
straight along, instead of being ar
ranged in lines of varying lengths, and
the result is quite good.
The wording of wedding invitation,
by the way, does not always receive the
attention which it should For a
church wedding the parents of the
bride request the "honor of your pres
ence," whereas for home wedding
the pleasure of your company" is
asked. Then, again, for home we'd
ding, the name of the guest is often
inserted, such as Mr.. and Mrs. William
Tompkins request the pleasure of
- company at the marriage
of their daughter. OF course, as this
latter form more closely resembles u
personal invitation, it is more of n
compliment to the guest. At very
stylish wedding recently the parents
of the bride simply requested the "hon-
or of your presence at the marriage of
their daughter at Grace church." her
name being omitted entirely, though
the calling cards of both bride and
groom were inclosed.
The invitation to the wedding break
fast or reception is about the same as
those of last year, save that the cards
are a trifle more oblong. The wedding
announcement is printed on the same
kind of note paper as the wedding in
vitation, the simple card no longer be-
ing considered good form, though IL 1t
is used it should be oblong and about
81 inches wide, and az inches from
top to bottom.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.
