EXPLOSIVE

1t has long been known that dia-
monds,~ especially the class known as
"rose diamonds" are likely to ex-
plode if subjected only to what
would seem o very ordinary degree
of heat It is now believed that the
explosions are the result of the rap
id expansion of certain volatile liq-
uids inclosed in cavities near the
center of these precious stones. A
great many diamonds, even though
cut, mounted and worn as gems of
perfection, are still in an unfinished
condition-that is, the liquid drop
from which the stone is being
formed has not as yet deposited all
of its "pure crystals of carbon"
These movable drops may occasion

FUSS.

A writer in the London Lancet,
discussing "Fuss as Il Mark OF Mod
ern Civilization" defines fuss Us q
form of %ncurosis, and says of it:
1t is not vigilance or prudence or
deliberate and considcratc judg-
ment. 1t is not even Il natural and
rational anxiety, though it may ex-
hibit itself in the guise Of any one of
these. 1t is mere business. Serving
i'll itself no useful purpose, it min
giles with and impcdcs every useful
work, dampcning energy and dis
%couraging initiative and the sense Of
responsibility in those engaged in it..
All the while it may be preaching
moderation and self control. This
neurosis is not confined to any peo-
pie or part of the civilized world,
though it would seem 70 be more
prevalent in some quarters than
elsewhere. Wherever there exists a
suitable soil in the form of an intel
lect equipped with the visual organs
of education, but without CORE
spending reflective power and self
restraint, there the morbid germ de-
velops until it may even become cpl

Mexican Justice.

An American tells this story Of
Mexican justice: Zone morning the
body of a cowboy was found in a
border town. 1t was supposed he
had crossed the Rio Grande to at
tend q dance and hirted with some
senorita and SO was shot by q Mexi-
can. AT least that was the theory,
because q bag of money amounting
TO $500, all in gold, was found on
the body, proving that the murder
had not been done for robbery. Be-
sides the coin a very costly six
shooter, silver mounted and ivory
handled, was strapped around the
deceased. The finding of the gun
was the occasion of a trial before
the local alcalde, or justice of the
peace. It was against the law to
carry weapons, and the dead man
vas fined 5000, just the sum they
found on him, for violating the
Mexican statute"

p Chinese Legend About Tea.

There is q strange Chinese legend
concerning the tea plant. According
to the story, there once lived a very
pious hermit who passed the greater
part of his time in prayer and vigils.
He was, however, unable to keep
awake as long as he wished and Of
ten found his eyes closing while he
was in the very midst of his devo-
tons. This naturally annoyed him,
and Il day in q fit of wrath against
this weakness of the flesh, which he
seemed unable to overcome, he cut
off the offending cyelids and cast
them upon the ground. But his &C
ton had been observed by a god,
who Immediately caused a tea shrub
to spring up from the spot where
the eyclids had fallen. 1t is in refer
ence to this, according to the leg
end, hat the leaves Of the tea plant
are shaped like eyelids, fringed with
lashes and possess the power Of
warding off sleep.

a Monkey and an Opera Glass.

The pet monkey of a German pro
fessor, having made his escape,
climbed into q tree and defied all at

the initiative habits of the animal,
his master hit on q curious plan to
regain his pet. He looked at the

pointing the small end at him for
some time, and then retired to a
short distance, leaving the opera
glass on the ground. The initiative
monkey descended from the tree
and, taking the opera glass, gazed
after a similar manner at his mas
ter, who seemed to the deluded ape
to be half q mile distant. The mon
key, still looking through the same
end of the opera glass, supposed his
master was several hundred yards
distant, when the latter, reaching
ont, secured the chain and led the
victim of en'optical illusion back to

THE BANDS PART.
Reasons Why 1t Would Rather Cut
Ice Than Make Music.


One winter when the First United
States cavalry was stationed in
Montana, says the Chicago News,
the bandmastcr went to the COM
mander of the post, General Culver
Grover, aud reported that the mem
bcrs Of the band had been ordered
to help cut ice.
He said, "Shcncral, they did not
enlist us to cut ice, but to make
moosic."
The commanding officer called
the adjutant and on his approach
said: MI. Adjutant, Mr.. Schmidt
wishes the band excused from ice
fatigue. lie says they enlisted to
make music"
MIR. Schmidt, bowling to the COM
handing officer, said, eyes, shcncr-
al, TO make moosic."
The commanding officer then said,
"Mr. Adjutant, the band will be ex-
cuscd from ice fatigue"
Mr.. Schmidt bowed himself out,
saying, "Thank you, shencral; thank
you, shcncrnl."
"But," continued the command
ing officer as the door closed, "AIr.
Adjutant, the band will take post on
the bluff overlooking the river and
will make music while the rest of
the command cut ice."
The weather was intensely cold,
and as a matter of course it was i'm
possible for the players to make q
sound, their breath freezing on their
instruments.
The bandmaster again hurried to
the commanding officer and said:
"Sheneral, it is impossible to make
moosic. The band would rather cut
icc."
every we'll, Mr.. Schmidt, just as
you WISH" replied the commanding
officer, and, calling the adjutant, he
said, "Alr. Adjutant, the band will
cut ice"

FORMER MAYOR CAUGHT.
DR.. 1mes, Of minneapolis, Found at
CLERGYMAN Home.

Hancock. n. H., Feb. 15.-Broken in spirit
and a physical wreck, Dr.. Albert Alonzo NJ
Ames, formerly Mayor of Minneapolis, who Is
wanted in that city indictment for at
tempted bribery, discovered to-day in the
home of local clergyman and placed under ar
by Sheriff Doane, of Manchester. So pititui
was his condition that he was not locked up
but left in charge of deputy to await the ar
rival of officers from Minneapolis. After his ar
rest, however, Ames communicated with United
States District Attorney Charles j. Hamblett. of
Nashua and obtained his services for a fight
which he says he will make against extradtion
DR.. Ames has been here for several weeks al
though his presence was not known outside Oh
the home of the Rev. G. II. Chaplin, who re-
ceived and sheltered him. Mrs Chaplin is
sister of the woman who accompanied DR.. A1nes
and Who is supposed to he his wife The knowi-
edge of this relationship probably led to his
detection.
Sheriff Doane received a communication from
the Chief of Police of Minneapolis j. w. Greger,
asking him to go to Hancock and see if Ames
had sought refuge at the home of his sster-in-
law The Sheriff came here yesterday. and
after an investigation placed Ames under ar
rest this afternoon.
DR.. Ames is wanted to answer to an fndict-
ment for attempted bribery, and also for de-
fauting his $4,000 BAIL given at the time of
his indictment.
DR.. Ames is wonderfully changed from the
description of him sent out by the Minneapolis
police after his disappearance from that city
He has grown a full beard and his hair is
almost white. 1t is said that he is siXtytwo
years old. but he looks seventy. He is
much wasted and is physically helpless.
How long the parsonage has protected the
prisoner and his wife is not known outside of the
house, and none of the family to-day were in
clined TO talk. 1t is believed, however, that
Minneapolis detectives, who followed him to Bos-
ton, were thrown off the track there, and that
he came directly to this town. Before going TO
Boston he was reported to have been in Louis
burg Ky. and West Baden, Ind, and it is
thought that he East from the latter
place.
AS soon as the Minneapolis officers who are
expected on Tuesday. arrive here the matter
of DR.. Ames's extradition Will be taken up pc
fore the Governor and Council. 1t seems that
DR. Ames has still many friends and abundant
financial resources. and that every move 10
bring him to trial in Minneapolis Will be bitterly
