as the use of dynamite. It costs from
10 to Il cents per pound by the box, and
il should be goi in sticks of three-quarter-
inch in diameter, weighing about twelve
ounces each. He may use only a part of
stick or two or more, as needed, by the
size of stump or stores, but which can
only be told by a little practice on the
particular lot. 1t is not as dangerous as
common black powder, as il viii not ex-
plode by contact with fire, and can only
be set off by caps or exploders made for
the purpose In purchasing he should pc
sure TO see that il has no free nitro
glycerine; in other words, that any of the
sticks are not leaking, for this is the eX-
p,oslve principle, and when it shows free
II Is very dangerous, as a sudden stamp
of the foot might explode it. What the
effect of the dynamite will be on any
particular lot of stones or stumps no one
can tell. 1t viii be necessary to do a lit
tie experimenting, and only use just
enough when blasting stumps, as the
larger the charge the more it will be torn
When one is thrown out entire, If too
large to be easily handled, it can be easi-
~ split by boring a hole into it on the
side he desires il to split and inserting
from a quarter to a full stick. To use the
dynamite on Stumps, dig down on one
side SO a hole can be made with an iron
bar under the main part close to the tap
root If it has one, and close up so the
dynamite will be in close contact with the
stump. Take a stick of dynamite and I'M
do one end, with a lead pencil or small
round stick make a hole down in the dyna-
mite an inch or more deep. Now take a
piece of fuse of suitable length so you can
get to a safe distance while burning; slip
cap or eXplOder onto the fresh cut end
of the fuse far enough so that the pow
der in cut end shall rest on the fulminth at
the bottom and crimp the sides down on
the fuse 50 as to hold it firm, then push
the cap down into the hole made in dyna-
mite and pack it firmly about the fuse and
replace the paper and it is well to tie il
with a string. To make everything sure
smear all about the end and over the fuse
with the wagon grease or taloW, so as TO
make it water tight. 1 recommend this be-
cause 1t is better to use water in the hole
when blasting with dynamite, it will give
so much better execution.
You can use any portion of a "stick" or
any number Of them as necessary and
when more than one is used be sure to
| have them in contact and one cap will set
them all off. The same directions will APP
ply for blasting stones. Get the charges
under the stone, or as near so as possible
and in all cases with stumps or stones be
sure that the dynamite is in close contact
with the thing to be moved. Pack it UP
then with sticks, stones or dirt, anything,
and when all is completed, pour in enough
water to fill the space or hole, but OF
course the fuse must be waterproof OF
coated with grease and the end be kept
out of the water: when all is ready fire
the fuse and git go to a safe distance
and see the stump get out as quickly and
easily as the smallest. L have seen them
cavorting over the tops of the highest
trees like a flying Dutcnman. It's just
fun.

Wall street.

wall street.
New York, July 23.-Ultimately the war
VIII prove a powerful stimulus to the
whole country. 1t has buried old political
ISSUES which were paralyzing trade and
industry, and developing in our people a
spirit of confidence and aggressiveness
which viii inevitably be reflected IN the
business affairs of the nation. The polii-
cal situation is more satisfactory than for
many years past New questions are be-
fore US, the solution of which will broaden
and strengthen the whole country from
the Atlantic 10 the Pacific. In The finan-
cial situation there is also reason for con-
fidence. Money is plentiful and promises
to continue so. Gold must come from Eu-
rope in settlement of the extraordinary
trade balance, and our supplies are likely
to be materially increased by shipments
from the Klondike. Il is quite likely also
that the banks VIII increase their circula-
ton to a considerable extent when they
have acquired a supply of the new bonds,
the placing of which as a popular loan
was a gratifying and significant example
of the confidence of the people in the gov
eminent The moral effect Of this method
was excellent, and worth It's cost to the
government, which could readily have
syndicated the whole issue at more
prontaDle price.
There have been some reasons for I'M
easiuess as to the possibility of some form
of intervention being attempted by Euro
pean governments. AS time goes on, those
misgivings seem to lose their seriousness.
There has been evidence enough of Spain
having done her utmost to enlist the help
of the other Powers but, so far, every
one Of the leading European governments
has persstenty adhered to an attitude
of strict neutrality. 1t had almost been
taken for granted that we should find
trouble in our occupation of the Philip
pines. At that point however. the last
fears of a hitch from some form OF Ger
man interposition have been set at rest
by entirely satisfactory assurances from
that government: and, so far as may be
inferred from diplomatic outgivings, there
is not likely To be any challenge 20 such
a settlement of that sensitive question as
may seem best to our government.
Viewing the war situation as a whole
then, it presents no discouraging aspects
for this country bU IL is suggestive OF
possibilities that peace may be unnecessar-
lily postponed. The Spanish government
would, of course, be only TOO glad to con-
slider terms of settlement; but it is prob
ably quite safe to assume that Sagasta
burst not accept the conditions upon which
the United States must insist-the abso-
lutte surrender of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. There is the great OBJ
stacle TO peace; and it remains to be seen
how It will be surmounted
