american stove. Exported.

American stoves, which are the
best in the world for their utility,
style and finish, are exported to
many parts of the world. Those ex-
ported are mostly cooking stoves
and ranges. The greatest numbers
are sent to the various Spanish
American countries, but they are
sent in considerable numbers to
Australia and also to South Africa.
Some stoves are sent to the United
Kingdom, outside of England, and
to Germany and to Russia and Tur-
key and occasionally to China and
Japan.
There is now some foreign de-
mand for American gas and gasoline
stoves, and an increased demand is
expected.-New York Sum-

A Warning to Bathers.

The oft repeated warning to surf
bathers, and particularly to those
who dive, to protect their ears from
the water by cotton plugs, etc.. is
not generally needed, to judge by
the damage often traced to its neg
lect. They who have lost the mem
brana need to be especially careful
and to give up diving. The tym-
panum is readily protected by the
cotton plugs firmly introduced, but
in diving even then the air in the
nasal fossm, accessory sinuses end
naso-pharynx is compressed and
partially escapes by the eustachian
tubes, and in consequence the water
enters so far and high in the nasal
foss@ as to painfully irritate the
pituitary membrane and leads to
protracted congestion. = Laryngo-

Dust Baths.

ALI animals have a natural tenden-
cy to cleanliness. The hog, the cor1-
mon type Of filth, is not by any
means as dirty as we would suppose
if given an opportunity to be clean,
and in this he needs only as much
assistance from man as a horse de-
mands. The result will prove his
natural tendency to cleanliness. The
hen has aversion to bathing in wa
ter. Her substitute is tho dust bath,
which answers the same purpose
for cleaning her feathers. A dust
bath is very essential to the health
of all fowls. In winter, when the
outside ground is frozen hard. a
substitute should be provided in the
shape of box filled with dry sand
mixed with coal ashes or road dust.
Watch your hens on bright, sunny
day in winter and see how they en-.
JOY this bath. They pick the dust
into their feathers, roll first on one
side, then on the other and seem to
sift the dry dirt into every part OF
their feathered coat It cleanses
them and frees them from their
mortal enemy, the lice. One would
suppose that hen lice were very
clean themselves, since they have
such dread Of dirt, and it is true
they cannot exist where dirt or dust
abounds. The dust bath is therefore
very necessary for the health and
happiness of your fowls. 1t should
be placed where the sun can shine
into it. This makes it attractive,
and your hens will soon avail they-
selves of it.-Country Gentleman.

Throwing Rice and Slippers.

In The Ladies Home Journal Ed.
ward w. Box notes the abuse of the
pretty custom of casting small
parcel of rice or a dainty slipper
after departing bride and groom,
an unspoken godspeed. "The dainty
slipper, he also says, "has been
transformed into the old shoe Of
doubtful origin and thrown with
force and accuracy, causing no end
of discomfort, and this is what two
pretty customs have degenerated
into. They have been vulgarized.
and therefore the sooner they pass
into disuse the better. The send.
ment of the customs has been lost.
Rice and shoes are no longer omens
of good luck. The modern thrower
of them has transformed them into
missiles with which to annoy and
mortify the bride and groom. The
better class of people have already
begun to substitute ashower of rose
petals, and this new and far more
beautiful idea is rapidly being fol-
lowed. We might have preserved
the old customs, but we have not.
aenceforth promiscuous rice throw
ing and the casting of old ehoes at
weddings will be left to the Doors
of our modern society, into whose
hands these acts have fallen and
who seem happiest when they can
convert the graceful customs OF
olden times into practical jokes"

Exhaustion of Rails.

Some years ago, before railroad
building had reached it's present
scientific basis, train on the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy road,
which was running at what was at
that time very high rate of speed,
met with a most unusual accident.
1t was an intensely hot day in Au-
gust. Those who are acquainted
with that country are willing to ad-
NIT that the degree of heat some
times experienced in that region is
little short of the boiling pitch. The
rails were heated, and as the heavy
train passed over them they seemed
to almost give way under the
weight. Suddenly the engineer saw
the track ahead of him rise from
the roadbed, swing out of line, then
slowly settle down on the level
prairie in an almost perfect curve.
The ties and rails we're not discon-
nected, but seemed merely to have
lifted Themselves up to fall in a
more comfortable position. The
train was stopped, and after thor
ough examination it was deemed
safe enough for the train to pass
over, which it did, moving very
slowly and cautiously. Experts WIS.,
tied the place as soon as possible
and declared that the incident was
due to the expansion of the rails.
Their ends touched, and, there be-
ing no room for lengthwise extern
sion, they had no choice but to lift
themselves and form a curve. 1t is
probable that the jarrjng of the
train assisted in this matter, the vi
brations possibly starting the side
wise movement. At all events it
was a most peculiar and interesting
incident.-New York Ledger.

Yourself.

If you wish to be miserable, you
must think about yourself, about
what you want, what you like. what
respect people ought to pay you,
and then to you nothing will be
pure You will spoil everything
you touch, you will make sin and
misery for yourself out of every
thing which God sends you and you
will be as wretched as you choose.

Refused the King.

Henry VIII had six wives. The
most extraordinary ambition was
displayed by the fair sex in general
to obtain the dangerous distinction
of being his queen. One instance
alone is quoted of his meeting with
a refusal, and that was on the part
of witty Duchess of Milan, who re-
piled to his offer "that she unfortu
nately had but one head and could
not afford to lose it. -

To Restore the Perfume.

It is claimed that the perfume of
flowers disappears as soon as the
starch in the petals is exhausted,
and it may, it is said, be restored by
placing the flower in a solution of
sugar, when tho formation of starch
and tho emission of fragrance will
be at once resumed.

der led to the attic, the entrance to
which was closed by a trapdoor in
the floor. Though Dolly had lifted
this door almost daily she failed to
do so now, and sank back upon the
ladder feigning exhaustion.
'The trap is too heavy for me, "
she said. IT cannot raise it. -
With an oath the man pulled her
down from the ladder, and placing
his shoulder against the trap raised
it, mounted to the attic, and held
the door for her to follow. But Like
fash Dolly had sprung through
the door of the lumber room and
had turned the keys in the great
double locks, which, placed there as
a safeguard against assault from
without, now served to secure a
prisoner within.
In vain did Billings, on discover
ing the trick, hurl himself against
the, door with the most frightful i'm
precautions. The oaken barrier resist
ed his utmost effort, and the win
dows were barred with iron. With
no weapon or aid from without es-
cape was impossible.
Shutting her ears to the mans
howls of rage, Dolly fed down the
stairs, and out into the road. But
she had not run a dozen yards be-
fore she heard a shrill whistle, and
the voice of Billings calling from
the window above:
"Cashel! Cashell Stop the girl I!
I'm locked in! Bring her back and
make quick work of her.
At the call second ruffian sprang
out of the bushes few yards be-

SIX MEN BLOWN TO ATOMS /.
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION IN A MIS-
SOURI, POWDER MILL.
Every Man In the Building Killed
Fragments of Bodies Found Half
Mile Away.

st. Louis, Nov. pa special to the
Republic from Quincy, Ills, says: The
powder mill at Lamotte, Mo, situated
eighty miles south of here, on the r.
line, and half mile from Ashburn,
blew uo at 7:55 a. m, killing SIX nen
and wounding several others,
The explosion took place in the pack
ing house, and was so terrific as 10 be
heard and felt a distance of twenty
five miles. Telephone reports from
Pittsfield, New Canon, Bayless, " IL
chester, Undertook and all over Pike
county, Ills. are 20 the effect that the
explosion was plainly felt in those
places. Until the truth was known,
the inhabitants thought it was an
earthquake. At New Canton windows
were broken, and everywhere buildings
were shaken.
The exact cause of the explosion will
never be known, as all the men in the
packing house at the time were blown
to atoms. Something like 10000 pounds
of powder was usually kept in the
packing house, which was a frar2e
structure.
During the day men were engaged
with buckets gathering up such bits OF
flesh and bones as they could ind a
piece Of spinal column was found half
mile from the scene of the explosion.
Those who were injured were employed
in another building. They were struck
by flying debris, but none of tham :r''e
fatally injured. There is always some
loose powder on the floor of the mack
ing room, and it is supposed that some
thing was dropped upon it that caussd
it to explode.

BOOM AT HAVANA.
Business Is Improving, But Vice and
Crime Increase.

Business Is Improving, But Vice and
Crime Increase.
Havana (via Key West, Fla.), Nov.
23.-The last few days have seen a re
vival of activity in every quarter.
Things appear to take on more definite
forms in every branch of military occu-
patton. Here at Havana wharves are
being built and railway connections
made. The camps chosen have actually
begun to be constructed. Government
boats and supplies are arriving, and the
first installment of United States troops
is expected on Friday. At the custom
house the archives are being packed
hurriedly, preparatory to turning over
the building to the American authori-
ties The best energies of the Spanish
now seem bent on an Immediate evac-
uation of the island.
All this has a good effect on the gen.
eral tone of commercial and social life
in the city, which looks to the imme-
date future for relief from a long sea-
son Of doubt and stagnation. With the
advent of cooler weather the health of
the general public has improved. No
new cases of yellow fever among for
eignerS have been recorded, and the
situation can be said to be Visibly bet
ter.
There are, however, two discordant
notes, the increase Of crime and the
continuance of official corruption. The
newly constituted police force, known
as Rif1eres ALTERNATIVES, armed with
machetes and rifles, is totally made
quate to cope with the criminal classes,
whose ranks are daily swollen by the
return of deported prisoners from the
penal colonies. The Rif1eres make a
very poor substitute for the disbanded
Orden Republic. The alarming increase
in vice and crime renders it unsafe to
walk the streets unarmed or unpro-
tected after nightfall. The police re-
ports show scores Of ''hold-ups," muir
ders, burglaries and highway robberies,
which never get into the local papers,
thanks to the watchful censor.
Corruption, bribery and wholesale
stealing in the military and civil ad-
ministration continue unchecked. AS
already cabled, the mayor of Havana,
on his own responsibility, without the
sanction of the city council and board
OF. aldermen, increased the city budget
for the salaries of municipal officers
and employees from 1000 to $54, 000
The board of aldermen, at the last ses-
sion, resolved not to confirm the may
or's action, thus compelling him to pay
the difference out of his own pocket.
Street cars and omnibuses have paid
no taxes for several years. Although
strictly forbidden by law, more than
1000 wooden houses exist within the
city limits. Such cases Of bribery. cor
ruption and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. could be
multiplied indefinitely Nothing is done
to check them.
Gambling houses, which, after the
signing of the protocol, the Spanish au-
thorities made a great show of sup
pressing. now flourish unmolested. At
this late day everybody admits the use
lessness of attempting to infuse moral
ity into the Spanish administration

OCCUPATION OF CUBA.
Brigade of the Second Corps Ordered
to the Island.

Washington, Nov 23-The war Ge-
partment today issued the first of the
general orders looking to the occu patti IN
of the central and western provinces of
Cuba by the United States troops. The
order contemplates the early beginning
of the movement. as the Spanish troops
are expected to have progressed with
the evacuation early in December. The
order is dated Nov. %, and is as fol-
lows:
Commanding General, Second Army
Corps, Augusta, Ga.-With the approval
of the secretary of war. the First hri-
gade, Third division, of your corps will
proceed, fully equipped for field service,
and take station in Cuba, as follows:
Headquarters and one regiment of in
fantry at Pinar del Rio; one regiment
of infantry at Mariel, and one regiment
of infantry at Guanajay. The troops
will embark at Savannah, and the
movements will be so regulated that no
regiment will reach Savannah more
than twenty-four hours prior to sail
ing.
1.-THE regiment for Mariel should land
at that point. The other two should
land at Havana and proceed to desti-
nation by rail. 1t is not necessary that
the entire brigade leave at the same
cession as transports can be provided.
The evacuation of Pinar del Rio by the
Spanish will be completed by Dec. 3,
and the troops above designated should
reach destination by Dec. l, or earlier
The brigade will take as lnuch of its
wagon transportation as is possible,
and camp and garrison equipage, in
GLIDING tent floors.
The quartermaster's department will
provide the necessary transportation
and thirty days forage Tor animals;
the subsistence department will make
provision for thirty days suitable. ra-
lions, an dthe medical department pro

Gently arrived at that place from Camp
Meade, Pennsylvania.
Mariel is the seaport of Pinar del Rio
province on the north side. 1t lies
about thirty miles west of Havana,
and, lying inland fifteen miles, is Guam
ajay, the nearest point to the railroad
line running from Havana to the city
of Pinar del Rio, the capital of the
province of the same name, which is
about 120 miles west of Havana, and
is to be the headquarters Of the Amer
lean army of occupation in the prov
