Alas for maiden, alas for jndge, for the old designer and the wheat field drudge. Lord pity them both, and pity us all, for Maud didn't own the wheat at all.

To the Editor FLORENCE TRIBUNE.

DEAR SIR: For the benefit of the Florence Enterprise and its readers, and in answer to its mention of my defeat as candidate for the Legisla- ture, will say, that the nomination was at nay disposition, and had I aspired to the honor would have been selected by handsome majority, the IT votes cast for me were in every particular complimentary. I hope it may ever be my good fortune in all future gatherings, in which I may participate, to be associated with such loyal, true, patriotic and liberty loving citizens, such as composed the Demo cratic Convention on the 10th inst, at Florence, Final county, Arizona.
 Very Respectfully Yours,

HIGH EXPLOSIVES,
Dynamite is Looked Upon as Being

Dynamite is Looked Upon as Being
the Safest and Deadliest.
From the Philadelphia Times
At the present time, when the considera-
tion of effective englres brings so
prominently before the world the dynamite
gun, of which much Is expected by the
officers of the Vesuvius and Nictheroy, the
two dynamite cruiser, of the United States
navy, it might not be amiss to consider the
general subject Of dynamite and other high
explosives and tell something of their ap-
pearance and proportions. Taking first the
best known, let consider the properties
OF dynamite.
Dynamite, or giant powder, the invention
of Alfred Nobel of Sweden, can be made
into cakes, or 1t may be converted into a
sticky paste called explosive gum," or en-
veloped in cases of paper, pasteboard or
n etal to form cartridges. 1t Is desiccated
mixture of three liquid ingredients-nitric
acid, sulphuric acid and glycerin-combined
with sawdust or come similar substance
the compound constituting a mass resem-
bling damp graham flour or pale cocoa To
some 1t appears like coarse brown sugar
Explosive gum Is of pure nitroglyc srin
and gun cotton more highly charged with
nitrate.
The pulverized form prevents the trans
mission of ordinary shocks except under
pressure in a confined space. The PRESSURE
Of the inert mineral constituents serves
likewise to absorb heat, and consequently a
high temperature cannot be readily fmpart-
ed to the whole, but when impaired this
temperature effects q great expansion of
the gases and increased effectiveness Of ex-
plosion.
Ignited in the open air, dynamite burns
quietly, with nitrous fumes. Exploded, usu-
ally by means Of a Illuminating fuse or cap,
1t gives off carbonic acid, nitrogen and hy-
drogen, with little or no smoke, leaving
only a white ash. Under favorable &C ondi-
| tions the effectiveness of dynamite is al
ways at least equal and frequently superior
| to that of nftroglycerin, for the latter Is
| liable to scatter unexploded drops by rsa-
| son Of the maximum rapidity Of its igni-
| ton.
Dynamite is now recognized as the safest
| of all high explosives. 1t Is not affected by
| a prolonged temperature of 100 degrees CEN
| tigrade, nor is 1t as dangerous as nitro
| glycerin when 1t solidifes at degrees CEN
| tigrade. Neither light electricity nor ordi-
| nary shocks, contrary to the popular fall
| lacy. cause 1t to deconpose or explode. The
principal dangers connected with its use
| are those arising from the strong fulminat-
| Ing powders used in the percussion fuses to
/ explode 1t. 1t is also possible that II dyna-
| mite is carslessly made 1t INDY contain an
! excess of nitroglycerin, which, overcoming
| the capillary force of the mineral particles,
may collect in drops and settle from the
| mass. becoming a source of serious acci-
| dents. Moreover, 1t may be that freezing or
| thawing after freezing has q tendency to
| segregate the oil.

CARE OF THE FEET.
A Few Suggestions for the Great
Army of Volunteers.


From the Cleveland Leader
a good many soldier boys who are fitting
themselves for experiences in Cuba have
been induced by their well-meaning but
ignorant friends to purchase lot of refin-
ed sulphur for wear in their boots, by way
of preventive against yellow fever.
Good clean wheat flour would be quite
as effective as far warding off the yei-
low jack goes and would do very much
less harm in the boots of an infantryman.
Any woman knows, or ought to know, that
the best part of a warriors strength lies
in his feet. Long, rapid marches have won
almost as many battles as steady courage
and good craftsmanship; therefore it be-
hooves sweethearts and wives to frown on
the sulphur superstition, and before send
ing their countrys defenders TO the front,
take some of the following precautions:
Just suggest to your brave, good man TO
buy his boots close in the heel and broad
in the toe. If his feet are in a state of
tender irritation, as the feet of city dwell
ers are apt to become just at the advent of
spring, persuade him to let You poutice
the particularly sensitive spots for a couple
of nights in succession.
little fiaXseed meal into which boiling
water and a bit of sweet cream is stirred
makes the proper poultice. 1t must be tied
onto the foot while quite warm and kept
there ali night. The way it draws inffam-
nation out of tender, Redeemed joints is a
wonder. This is the proper treatment for
soft corns and bunions. but not for hard
corns until after they have been skillfully
cut. Then If any soreness is left a pou!-
tice will quiet the pain in short order
