Nitro Glycerine can Killed an old
Tramp and Started big Fire In the
Woods.

Woods.
MAENrNeToN, Aprill25-About /
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the people
here were startled by two terrific ex-
blossoms that shook buildings, ratified
crockery on dinner tables and in
closets and broke a number of win
dow panes. It was thought at first
that there had been boiler explosion
near by, but Investigation disclosed
the fact that the trouble was four
miles from the city in locality
known as Flat Run.
It seems that out there near nitro
glycerne magazine there was an old
discarded oil well derrick around the
base OF which were a number OF emp
ty nitro glycerine cans. The nearest
neighbors to the dangerous spot heard
some one pounding at the old rig
during the forenoon and just before
the first explosion the noises were
again heard. 1t is now believed that
a tramp was fixing up a hut, and
there was enough of the explosive in
the empty cans to be affected by the
jar.
Right after the first explosion the
magazine i.iiiled with the nitro glyce-
rine went into the air. Fl. II. Cum
ningham's large tract OF woodland was
set on fire and the flames spread rapid
" in the direction OF the few dwell
ings scattered about, some distance
away. At last accounts large force
OF men were fighting the fire.
The oil derrick and everything else
in the vicinity of the explosions were
blown to atoms, and whoever was
there and caused the trouble has left
no trace behind

Society Girls Overworked Trying to
 Become Accom- p1ished.
 To learn as many of the fashionable accomplishments as possible appears to be the ambition of the girl of the period and her mamma. It is too often the case that considerations of physi- cal health are entirely overlooked and that the fashionable girl finds herself worn out and old in appearance and disposition before she has reached the age of g. The Ladies' Home Journal characterizes this folly properly when it says: ''There are parents who, not content with the studies which their daughters have to grapple with at school, load them down with few spe- cial studies in the finer arts. l have in mind now several young girls be- tween the precarious ages of 12 and 17. who, after they return from school, have an extra dose of painting, music or languages. But my daughter must know something of these things Is the protest of the fond mother. She must be able to hold her own with other girls of her set Of course, the girl at this tender age, with such a mental load. soon goes to pieces. She becomes anaemic, listless and nervous, and then the mother wonders why! To build her up everything under the sun is tried except a lessening of mental work and the unnatural strain upon the nervous system. The girl develops into what? A bundle of nerves incased in the most fragile frame, her physical vitality sapped almost to the last dreg. And in this condition she enters the mar riage state! And yet we wonder why there are so few women absolutely free from organic troubles. Is 1t so inexpli cable"

Fares to the Nor.h Pole.

It costs about $25.OO0 to fit out for a seasons voyage to the Arctic such a vessel as that for the Peary expedition, which sailed in July, or that for the Baldwin expedition, which also sailed that month. The fare for the round trip, if any passengers are taken, is usually $500. Members of the crew of an Arctic ship are paid about a fifth more than on ordinary voyages. The captain will receive about $125 a month, the mates and engineers per haps $50 to $75, and the seamen $35 a month. These wages, it is always stip- ulated beforehand, must be paid promptly and regularly to the mems families in Newfoundland or Nova Scotia. There are usually ten to twenty men in the crew.-New York Post.

l4air preparations and danruff cures, as a rule, are sticky or irritating af- fairs that do no earthly good. Hair, when not diseased, grows naturally luxuriantly. Dandruff is the cause of nine-tenths of all hair trouble, and dandruff is caused by a germ. The only way to cure danruff is to kill the germ; and, so far, the only hair pre- paration that will positively destroy the germ is Newbro's Herpicide-abso- lutely harmless, free from grease, sedi- ment, dye matter or dangerous drugs. It allays itching instantly; makes hair glossy and soft as silk. Destroy the cause, you remove the effect -dand- ruff.

 Mr. Hunters Statement

MT. Hunters Statement
 Hon. o. L. Clark, now serving his second term as mayor of Chico, told the Examiner representative that he considered Mir. Hunters recovery nothing short of miraculous. Mayor Clark said he believed the cause of suffering humanity could be helped by any publicity given the remedy which restored John Hunters health.
 The Rev. ". G. White, pastor of the Chico Presbyterian Church, of which MT. Hunter is member, sad: The: recovery of Mr. Hunter seems very remarkable and his present con- dition is the wonder of his friends"
 Mir A. H. Crew, cashier of the Bank of Chico, w2s willing to corrOborate MT. Hunters sworn statement. 'I had never expected to see him recover any of his lost faculties, much less to see him able to walk, see and work, as he now is,' concluded Mir. Crew.
 lhe postmaster of Onico. Mir. w. w. Wilson, said: T was at MT. Hunters house and saw his pitiable condition with my own eyes. I have also seen him today, walking the streets and practically well.

FIRES CAUSED BY NAILS.

 Firms That Handle Cotton.

Firms That Handle Cotton.
 Speaking of insurance matters, '" said a listener. 'I suppose the plain, old fashioned nail has caused more fires in the big establishments where machinery is used in many and con- plicated ways than any other little thing in existence. The only thing needed is for it to come in contact with some other hard material with suffi- c;ent force to cause a spark and heat generation. Nails have really produced a heavy per cent of the cotton fires of the country. During recent years, on account of steps taken by the owners and conductors of the larger cotton and byproduct plants at the instance of in- surance men, the nail has not been such a prolific producer of fires.
 "A way has been found, for instance, in cotton gins, cotton mills and in plants where cottonseed are put through manufacturing processes, of extracting nails and other weighty and finty substances that may find ledg- ment in these infiammable products. Gravity is the natural force used. Nails and rocks and materials of this kind are heavier than cotton and its by products. and they have tendency to force their way to the bottom of the heap. By allowing these products to pass over rolling belt arrangement these heavier materials filter toward the bottom and are finally extracted. so that when the cotton or the cotton seed passes through the grind In the various manufacturing processes there Is but little danger from fire so far as these things are concerned."-New Or leans Times Democrat

Beware of Ointments for .Catarrh
 that Contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable phy- sicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you car possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J, Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, O., contains no mer- cury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Old spiders. which have neither web nor the materials to make one, often hunt about to find out the webs of oth- CT spiders, younger and weaker than themselves, with whom they venture battle. The invader generally succeeds, and the younger spider is driven out to make a new web, and the old spider re- mains ln possession until a stronger spider invades the web and drives 1t out. When thus dispossessed, the spi- der seldom ventures another attack, but tries to subsist upon the few insects that may fall accidentally into its clutches and eventually dies of hunger.

Progression of the Medicine Bottle
 Have you ever noticed how import

These, exhibitions wore, so on the young wOman's nerves and so wrecked her appetite that she went to day, but there her neighbor at the table opposite calmly pulled from his pocket bottle of pellets and counting out a half dozen of these swallowed them one by one without more ado. She at once changed her seat, and avoided the unappetizing sight; but she declares, and she Is probably right, that Ameri- cans take more medicines than any other of the worlds nations, and that they are absolutely indifferent as to where they take it. Such a condition arises from complete indifference to other peoples comfort. and the remark able thing about it is that it Is toler- ated by the patient onlo )l1ers.

ROOSEVELT AND WOOD.

Changes Which Five. Years Have
 Wrought in Their Lives.
 Previous to his departure for Cuba, Gov. Gen. Wood had long interview with President Roosevelt. Not all their conversation was official, but on the contrary there Is authority for saying that the two distinguished men had a little heart-to-heart talk regarding the changes which five years have wrought in their careers. Five years ago Presi- dent Roosevelt was out of business, both as civil service commissioner and AS member of the police board of New York.
 Leonard Wood was then only an as- slstant surgeon in the regular army with the rank of captain, The advent of the Mckinley administration work ed wonders for both men. pr. Wood was selected as the Presidents physi- clan, and this gave him a prominence he might not have secured after years of faithful service in an obscure posi- ton. Theodore Roosevelt, after con- siderable of a campaign, was appoint ed Assistant Secretary of the Navy. When the war broke out Roosevelt himself conceived the idea of organ izing Rough Rider regiment, but chose Wood as the colonel instead of taking the place himself.
 To-day Wood Is brigadier general in the regular army and governor general of Cuba. He is so young that In the ordinary course he Is destined to be- come lieutenant general in command of the army of the United States. His former lieutenant colonel is now Presi- ident. of the United States, and 1t was perfectly natural that the two men should put in little time In more or less solemn admiration of the swift ness with which Providence works at times.

Binst, who presides over q chemical laboratory at the Pasteur institute, having no such faith, obtained some ice from the glaciers Of Mount Blanc itself and placed it under his pitiless microscope.
