 Method of Firing Shots.

The advantages of the electric methot Sver tho fuse method of shot firing for sinking purposes are now generally ad' mitted. As an instance, case may be taken where 20 shots have to be fired at a distance of 500 yards from the sur face. Each fuse has to be lighted sepa
 rately by means of Q redhot iron or by candles when the shots are lighted. and the shot lighter has then to ascend the shaft by means of the winding engines First he gets into tho trunk and then signals to the engineman. If the signal toils or if the engineman does not un- ierstand or if the engines, being short of steam. cannot raise the trunk of tho bottom, the shot lighter has no escape from serious injury or death. There is no fear of this when the electric shot firing method is used. as the shots cal be fired on the surface or in the dyna
 mo room if preferred. Then, again, the fuse method cannot do as much work as tho electric method for the same number of shots. as each shot is fired separately. owing to their being of diff ferent lengths and other causes, and con sequently less amount of energy is brought into force on the rock. In the electric method. as all the shots arc fired at the samu instant. tho collective force Is utilized and greater shattering effect is brought tu bear on the rock. With electricity also there is less risk of ex' plosion of gases. In regard to the rela' tive cost of the two systems 1t may be said that electric firing is little more expensive than that by fuse, but it does about twice as much work. The actual cost of electric low tension detonators Is $52. 50 per 1000, while that of det' onators and fuses for corresponding number of shots would be s5o.So.

The nour of LIneoln,s shooting.

A highly interesting story is told to account for the fact that almost every wooden clock in America has it's hands painted to indicate the hour of IS min utes past s. It is related that most such watchmakors' signs were originally made by one man. who was at first in the habit of painting tho hands to indi
 cate any old or young hour that struch bis fancy when he came to that part ot the job. But when President Lincoln was assassinated he conceived the idea Of commemoratiug the event by record
 ing the hour and minute thereof upor all bis wooden timepieces, a custom ever since perpetuated There is some- thing striking and dramatic about this notion of time standing still forever after an event of such tragic signiti- canoe. There is no doubt about the fact that nearly all the wooden clocks do in' dicate tho hour of IS minutes past s. You can see that for yourself. But if the clockmaker thought ho was thereby re
 cording tho hour of the assassination bis intelligence was as wooden as his wares, for President Lincoln was shot uot at IS minutes past s. but at about 10 minutes past lO.-New York Post

One of the many strange sights oD che plains of southern Africa is party of wal,sing ostriches. Their queer an eics havo been described thus:
 "Whcn .here are number of thvin. they will start of in the morning and after running a few hundred yards will stop, and with raised wings will whirl rapidly round till they are stupefed or perhaps break a leg The males pose also before fighting and to make their court. They kneol on their ankles, opening their wings and balancing themselves alternately forward and backward or to one side or the other, while the neck is stretched on level with the back and the head strikes the sides. now on the right, now on the left, while the feathers are bristling The bird appears at this time SO absorb ed in it's occupation as to forget all that is going on around him and can be ap- preached and caught.

Muniuies.

In estimating the value of mummy It's medicinal qualities are no longer appraised. and thus the problem is cas- Ter of solution. Its value must have been greater when it formed regular part of the materla medlca. Until pretty late in the eighteenth century mummics entered Into great variety of drugs, balms and othcr medica' ments.
 As the genuine mummy was then ex' pensive. recipes were given by many ancient writers for converting human 1csh into mummy. Usually only cer- tain portions of the body were used, and these were beaten. dried, macerat' ed and spiced out of all likeness to their natural condition; hence beaten to a mummy"
 Numerous allusions are made to the practice In ancient literature. and in an old play. Bird In Cage" are the d. rections, Make mummy of my flesh and sell me to the apothecarles."

LIEhtning's Assaults.

One of the best evidences of the value of lightning rods up to date has boon afforded by the Washington monSment It is capped by a small four sided pyra- mid of aluminium, which metal, SO cheap today, was very costly at the ;imo of the building of the greatest obelisk that tho world has ever known This aluminium tip is connected with the ground by four copper rods which sS ..,owp deeE into t.s.ss carth. On April 5, 1885, i've immense bolts 1T electrioi' ,y were seen to flash betweentpe lponp- ment and thundercloud oyerhangins tn tho course of 20 minutes. In other words, the monument was struck fierco' ly five times, but it suffered no damage whatever
 On June l5 of the same year moro tremendous assault was made upon the monument from the heavens, and the result was fracture of one of the top most stones. The crack still remains to show what nature can do in tho way of an electrical shock. but the slightness os the damage is evidence of mGns power to protect himself from such at tacks. The obelisk is ideally located for attracting electrical assaults from the skies. and yet, while many times hit, 1t has suffered only once. and that time tc q tritling extent. Boston Transcript.

They Punished Each Other.

In Anderson county, last Thurs
day, two Negroes were caught in
the act of robhing farmer, and
rather than go to Jail they offered
to accept any punishment the
farmer might inflict. The men
were taken into a field and strips
ped to the waist. There is no
whipping post law in South Caro-
lima, but this did not interfere
with the plans for the lashing.
10 each man was given buggy
trace, and they fought each other
until the blood began to flow. A
big crowd gathered to watch the
duel of whipping. A neighbor
OF the man who had been robbed
acted as referee and ho made the
Negroes break clean when thew
clinched. Under the rules the
contest had to continue until one
Negro had given the other 100
lasbeS. Foul tips were not count
ed. The Negroes were in bad
shape when the fight ceased and
they went off to bed. No arrests
were made.

boys who had worn the blue saw
approaching a countryman on
horseback.
"Here comes 'Rube,'' said

fun out of him."
"Hey, old man." called the
Grand Army member. "Haven't
seen you since '61.'

clad occupants, quietly said:
