GASOLINE EXPLOSION.

Damaged by Fire.

Damaged by Fire.
There vas lively fire in the house of
H. F. Lasky, No. Jog Pierce street, LAT
night, about $50 o'clock, and for a few
minutes the people about the burning
house were very much excited. because of
a rumoT that a child had been burned to
death. This rumor was soon disposed of,
however. by the occupants of the house.
A gasoline explosion caused the fire and
the flames spread rapidly through the
house. SO that by the time the fire depart
ment arrived considerable Roadway had
been gained and the total destruction of
the building was threatened. The firemen
worked hard, but did not succeed in ex-
ungulshing the flames until the dwelling
had been almost completely Quilted
1t was plair to be seer that the explos-
ion had occurred in the back room on the
second floor, and so great was its force
that the wall was partly wrecked. A local
alarm was first sent in which was follow
ed soon after. by q regular alarm.
The damage to the building, which is
owned by DR.. Hazen, is estimated at $500
but this loss will fall on an insurance COM
pany. Mr.. Lasky's furniture was not in
sured. but 500. it is thought, viii cover his
loss.

AN UNCoUNTABLE PRODUCT.-No-
body knows how many billions OF
wooden toothpicks are made and used
in this country every year. The ag-
gregate is so enormous as to be prac-
tically incalculable. And to the total
of the domestic product must be added
the imported toothpicks.
While the output of this industry is
so vast, American ingenuity has i'm
proved automatic machinery until it
requires the employment of compara-
lively few persons. Ninety-five per
cent. of all the toothpicks manufac-
tured in the United States are made
from white birch timber in Franklin
county, Me-, and yet scarcely more
than hundred persons are employed
in that state. Outside of the state OF
Maine, the principal factories are in
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and
western New York. Some maple and
poplar are used in the manufacture of
American toothpicks, but white birch
is the standard timber in all the facto.

THE FIRST STEAM WHIsTLE.-The
first kind of whistle that steam was
applied to was an adaptation of the
common toy whistle. 1t did not work
we'll, and was devoid of any leading
capability for ear-piercing noise. The
cup whistle was invented by one Will
lam Stephens, workman in the Dow
lais Iron works, in Wales about 60
years ago. Mr.. Stephens seemed to
have no idea what noise his invention
was destined to make in the world, for
it was not patented, nor was its worth
proclaimed beyond the borders Of the
Welsh hills. A workman belonging to
Sharp & Roberts, engineers and ma
chine builders, of Manchester, Eng,
having gone to Wales to do some
work, was struck with the novelty Of
the cup whistle, and made rough
sketch of it, which he carried to Man
chester. Mr.. Sharp, who was very
sagacious mechanic, and afterwards
did the principal business of introduc
ing the Giffard injector, saw that the
steam whistle might be useful on rail-
ways, which were then in their infancy
so he commenced making it.-Ameri'

A ONE MAN SAW DEvICE.-To
make saving with crosscut saw easier
and more speedy for one man alone,
without removing the handles, take
flexible pole about inch in diameter
and about IA inches longer than the
saw, split the ends a little, then by
bending the pole slip the ends on the
saw against the handles. This bow
keeps the saw steady AID you can han
die it like buck saw. fix my saw
thus and it is splendid device. The
other end does not flop about as it does
without. tie string around the ends
of the pole, about 8 inches back from
ends to keep it from splitting too far

sympathy from his companions. But
if he should insist on exhibiting the
wounded member for days and weeks
as a plea for special consideration, he
would become a laughing stock. What
is true among boys is also true among
older people. The spontaneous and
instructive passion which is almost
universally felt for those that fall into
trouble, suffer a sensible shrinkage and
abatement if too large or too steady a
draft be made upon it. 1t is the height
of folly for any man to be always
assailing the public ear with the tale
of his woes. Whoever is guilty of
this practice soon falls into general
contempt. That is perfectly sound
and healthy human instinct which re-
quires us to keep our troubles, for the
most part, to ourselves. 1t is possible
for US to tire even our best friends by
a selfish garrulity concerning our per
sonal misfortunes. Other folks have
their own burdens. Why should we
require them to carry ours alsof-

A good cement for mending cracked
stove lids can be made by mixing equa
parts of wood ashes and salt with just
enough water to form paste. Use

A cooking teacher says that the
whites of eggs can be beaten most
quickly if pinch of cream of tartar

Grease spots can be removed from
carpets by first covering with powder
