CANNON CRACKER PROVES FATAL

Jacksonville Times Union and Citi-

accident, MILAN J. Sloane. a young
man of about 80 years, whose home is
in Pinewood. S. c.. died yesterday at
113 West Third street. The physician
gave the cause of death as traumatic
cerebral meningitis, and this was the
direct result of the explosion of a conf
mon cracker the fragments of which
struck him on the forehead and inflict-
ed severe wound, which gradually
brought about meningitis and ultimate
death. Merely for innocent amusement
Mr. Sloane volunteered to set off a
big firecraCker which happened TO be
in the house. Instead of leaving it on
the ground, however he placed it on
a fence, and when the explosion came
the force of it caught Mr.. Sloane in
the face. 1t burned a deep hole over
his right eye, and the wound was of
such an ugly nature that the doctors
treatment could do little. and finally
it affected all the cerebral mem

Use or pERsIMMoN AND DOGwooD.

Rome Tribune: The gOwth of persim-
mon trees in old. fields in the South has
been looked upon as a curse. The per-
simmon trees will spring up almost like
corn had been planted. 1t takes a lot of
digging and grubbing to keep them
down. But a valuable use has been
found for persimmon wood which is
dense in fibre heavy and capable pol
ish. This is for shuttle blocks in the
looms of cotton mills. A few days ago
solid train containing eighteen car
loads of persimmon and dogwood shut
tie blocks was shipped from the Grimes
Shuttle Block factory at Chattanooga
direct to England via Norfolk. This
factory has only been in operation ten
months, but is enjoying a big trade.
The making of these shuttle blocks will
doubtless become an important indus
try in the South. ~

suburb of New Haven. Conn, is at
tracing wide attention by his unique
methods Of drawing to his church
those who otherwise would spend their
leisure amid less elevating influences.
By many the methods of the pastor
are warmly supported; by others they
are heartily condemned. A peculiar
feature in the situation is the fact that
the opposition comes largely from
members of the church who are not
blessed with an abundance of this

commentator comes from the

what a Beaver Did.

Mr.. A. d. Bartlett. son of the late
superintendent of the London zoo, has
an interesting story of a captive Cam
adam beaver. A large willow tree in
the gardens had blown down A branch
about twelve feet long and thirty
inches in circumference was firmly
fixed in the ground in the beavers in
closure. Then the beaver was watched
to see what he would do. The beaver
soon visited the spot, and walking
around the limb. commenced to bite
off the bark and gnaw the wood about
twelve inches from the ground. He
seemed to put his whole strength into
his task, although he left off every few
minutes to rest and look upward as il
to determine which way the tree would
fall. Now and then he went to his
pond, which was about three feet from
the base of the tree. Then he would
come out again with renewed energy.
and his powerful teeth would set to
work anew upon the branch About
4 O'Clock, to the surprise of those who
saw him. he left his work and came
hastily toward the iron fence. The
cause of this sudden movement was
soon apparent. He had heard in the
distance the sound of the wheelbarrow.
which was brought daily to his pad
dock, and from which he was anxiously
expecting his supper.
The keeper, not wishing to disap-
point the beaver, although sorry to see
his task interrupted, gave him his
usual allowance of carrots and bread.
The beaver ate it and was seen swim
ming around the pool until about half
past .. Then he returned to his work.
In ten minutes the tree" fell to the
ground. Afterward the beaver cut the
log into three convenient lengths, one
OF which he used in the under part of
his house.-Youths' Companion.
