Use Of DANGEROUS Chemicals.

cleS of chemical manufacture are be-
coming so largely employed for va
riety of useful purposes now that some
restrictions as to their sale. convey
ance and storage are imperative. Thou
sands of gallons of liquid carbonic
acid gas in steel cylinders under high
compression may now be seen eve"y
day being conveyed in carts from place
to place, and similarly other gases are
stored under pressure in tubes" as,
for instance, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrous
oxide and so on. all of which may ex-
pose the public to danger Solid bricks

ried from port to port as part of
ships cargo, ana very serious acci-
dents have occasionally arisen from
the intermixture of various chemicals
on board ship by the damaging effect
of a rough passage upon the packages.
Still another chemical substance of
comparatively recent discovery is car

coming moist gives off the exceedingly
infiammable gas, acetylenc. which.

SAVED FROM INSANITY.
Hoods Sarsaparilla Proved to Be tho
Right Kind of Medicine.

The horrors which accompany a shat
tered rervous system are known only to
those who suffer. No one else can COM
prehend them. Weak nerves, insufficient
ly nouriShed owing to impure blood, lead
to nervous prostration and insanity.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies and enriches
the blood, strengthens the nerves and re-
stores physical. mental, nervous and di-
gestive strength. just read this letter:

An apt and witty retort was that
made to the colonel of a regiment on
one occasion by an old Quaker aunt. to
whom he was complaining.
He was an unpopular officer, filled
with a sense of his own Importance,
and most overbearing in his manner tc
his inferior officers, who disliked him
heartily in return, and in consequence
shirked their duties whenever oppor-
tunity offered.
II have most unsatisfactory set of
men under me-" complained the young
man, standing before the little Quaker
lady in a pOmpOus attitude. Il am
practically forced to do all the work
which should be done by them a great
part of the time. l am my own major,
my own lieutenant, my own ensign, my
own sergeant"
He stopped and frowned down upon
his listener.
:'And thee is thine own trumpeter,
also. William, fear" said the old lady,
with twinkle in her eye.

MISSED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

l miss you, dear, in the springtime when
the willows blossom whitley,
When The sloe boughs bloom and baur-

sing.
When over the sky of azure the white
fringed clouds pass lightly,
When viOlets wake in the woodlands,
Gnd the corn blades freshly spring.
But l miss you. too, in summer when the
waves break on the shingle.
When the Ianguid lilies perfume is
waited upon the breeze.
When creamy, and pink. and fragrant the
roses nod in the dingie.
When the kingcups turn the meadows
TO giistening and golden seas.
And l miss You more in autumn when IN
rustling cornEelds yellow
Reapers sing their lays of giadness,
when the plovers loudly call.
When the woods are gold emblazoned, and
the apple orchards mellow.
And the bramble red and purple where

But most of all miss You when the snow
flakes white are flying.
When the days are dark and dreary. and
the nights are long Snd drear;
When through leafleSs forest branches

Then it is l think | miss you, oh. the

Two Bad Habits.

Taking strong coffee to cure a head
ache is like taking whisky to cure the
Shakiness which is one Of the effects Of
whisky. 1t seems to do it, but the re-
suit is deceptive. The cure becomes
new cause and you are worse off than
before. Better stop coffee altogether
and use Grain-O, the new foOd-drink.
Whereas coffee is not Il food at all. but
only a nerve-fOOling toxic stimulant,
Grain-O is a preparation of pure grains.
palatable, nutritious and absolutely
harmless. 1t is thoroughly satisfying,
four times cheaper than coffee, accept
able to the most sensitive stomach and
free from the constituents which make
coffee damaging beverage. Drinkers
of Grain-O are never kept awake Of
nights-nOt by that anyway. Ask your
grocer for a 15c. or 25c. package.

The Screw.

The small size of the screw" says
a noted shipbuilder, sis not due, as you
might think, to the perception of any
inventor of its great effect as compared
to a larger one. When / first engaged
in the machinery business, screws for
steamers We're made as large as poss;i-
Bile, it being the theory that the greater
the diameter. the higher the speed. A
vessel was sent to sea with q screw so
large that it was deemed best to cast
each blade in two parts and then weld
them together. During storm all
three blades of the propeller broke at
the welding, reducing the diameter by
more than two-thirds. To the surprise
of the captain, the vessel shot forward
at speed such as had never been at
tanned before. Engineers then expert
mented with small propellers. and mt
once discovered that they were much
more effective than large ones"

For more than a century the breed
ing of canaries has been thriving in
dustry in parts of Germany. In 1850
the German dealers began to ship the
birds to New York, and then to South
America and Australia. The profits
are small, but the industry is a god

wooden cages. 1t is estimated that
about two hundred and fifty thousand
canary birds are raised every year in
Germany The most important market
is the United States, which takes
about one hundred thousand birds per
annum. When the birds are shipped
TO this country they are always accom-
panied by all attendant. On the re-
turn voyage these attendants take
American birds to Europe.

An Englishman was showing his
friend, an American, through the
houses of Parliament, in London, the
meanwhile commenting in somewhat
arrogant tone upon what he pleased to
term the superiority of the English
public buildings and parks.

lightful spot! Why, you have nothing
in your country to compare with it. es-
pecially in that great New York City;
then again. every gentleman here owns
an estate. aud. let me assure you. sir,
such estates are no small bits of prop
ert.-."
This went on for considerable time,
until the American growing tired. said:
"But, Lord de T., you have Travelled in
our country, have you not?'
'Oh, yes, my dear sir; right across
it,
"Well, thel,, you should have an idea
of it's size"

"Well, then, you see, we didn't want
anything in the line of parks in New
York, with, of course, the exception of

we wanted Il park. and so we decided
to use the United States as Il park for
New York City"

Washing Blankets.

Blankets which have been used an win.
ter, no matter how white they may look,
are never clean, and should not be put
away for the summer without being wash
ed. Many housekeepers satisfy themselves
by Shaking and airing their blankets, rath-
er than risk spelling them in washing.
But this is an error, for if the work Is
properly done no shrinking will take place,
and the softness and color may be retain
ed for years. The most necessary thing
in washing blankets is TO have plenty of
soft water and good soap. Inferior soap
is the real cause of the damage done wool
en- goods in washing.
When ready TO begin the work shake
the blankets free of dust, fill a tub nearly
full of soft hot water. Dissolve a third
of a cake of Ivory soap in it. Put in one
blanket at time. Dip up and down and
wash gently, with the hands. Never rub
soap on the blankets, or wash them on
the washboard. After the blankets are
clean rinse them il warm water until free
of suds. Add little bluing TO the last
water. Shake and sponge them. and hang
ON the line until dry; then take down, fold
md pack in a box and set away in cool
room. Blankets thus washed will retain
their original freshness. rs well as wear
three times as long as if put away soiled
year after year.

RemarkahIe Recovery.

Thomas Wiley, student attending
the Ohio Wesleyan Institute, was acci-
dentally shot through the abdomen two
weeks ago. There were eleven perfora-
tions, eight of which were in the intes-
tines and three in the peritOneum. The
openings were carefully sewed up.
Thirteen days after the shooting the
young man was up and walked. This
is the only case in Ohio where patient
suffering from like injuries ever lived.

Punished for Yawnine.

An English paper tells story Of the
late Count Gleichen when he was an
ambassador in London. At a dinner
party it was his hard luck to have to
conduct to table lady Of taciturn
and unresponsive nature. To all his
polite nothings she answered never a
word. Nothing daunted, he continued
to ply her with small talk, till at last
she slowly turned her head toward
him and deliberately yawned. The
count was equal to the occasion "Ah,'
madam" he said, loudly, Il also have
gold in my teeth"

impossible. These wells are as round
and perfect as if bored by an augur.
Another peculiar phenomenon is the
myriads Of mosquitoes that gather
about these wells during the warm
summer months 1t was claimed, some
years ago, that curious musical sounds
issued from these wells at midnight,
but upon close eXamina ton scientists
found that these musical disturbances
were caused by millions of mosquitoes.
The fact of these natural wells are
vouched for by any of the citizens Of
Massillon and surrounding country.

good one Of the hanging rock, showing
the wells on the bluff to the right.
