A Strange Explosion.

A celebrated doctor in Reims, while
visiting a patient and listening to his
troubles, put his hand in his pocket
and mechanically rubbed together some
pastils which were there. Suddenly q
slight explosion took place, and at the
same time the doctor experienced a
sharp pain in his hand. Upon exami-
nation he found that the bottom of his
pocket was burned out and that his
under linen was much scorched, while
one of his fingers was also injured.
He remembered that he had carried
in his pocket for some days two pastilS
containing chlorate of potash and one
pastil containing chlorate Of sugar.
The last named was broken into little
pieces, while of the potash pastils one
was intact, but no trace could be found
Of the other. 1t seems that the doctor
had rubbed the chlorate of potash pas
til against the chlorate Of sugar pastil
and that at the point of contact small
quantity of explosive powder had been
formed. This had ignited, with the re-
suit that the chlorate of potash pastil
had been instantly decomposed.

For Those who Read.

In one of Mr.. Mabie's literary talks
he submitted the six following admo-
nitions for those who read:
Do not read at random. Select your
books in advance.
Read intelligently and with foresight.
Make a scheme for the season, not too
large to be worked out.
Read books that interest you. Fol-
low the line of your taste unless your
taste is wholly unframed. If it is,
read good books in different fields I'M
til you find out what you care for most.
Have a book always within reach
and make the most of your spare min
utes.
Read only good books and put your
mind on them. To get the best out of
books you must be able to remember
them.
Do not make task of reading. Read
for enjoyment.

BADGER STATE A LOSER
FROM 100000 TO 100000
According to Different Estimates Grand
Army Relic; Destroyed Little
or No Insurance.

Madison, Wis, Feb. Ex-Governor
LaFollette has issued q supplementary
statement in which he figures the loss
on the capitol building fire at $780,
600, based on reports Of several ex
perts. Other estimates on the loss
range from 100000 to $1,000,0O0. One
of the most serious losses by the fire
was the destruction Of the Grand Army
room, together with all Of the records
Of the department Of Wisconsin and
of Lucius Fairschild post, of this city;
"Old Abe" the famous war eagle, ana
all of the records, mementoes and rel
les of the civil and Spanish-American
wars. Not a shred was saved from
the room excepting the battle flags.
Governor LaFollette says: From
general appearance l should say that
the north and south extensions of the
building, which were built in the early
sos, are not damaged much and can be
replaced easily The wings from the
main portion Of the building to the
extensions at the extreme ends are
much damaged, but only part of one
of the walls probably will have to be
rebuilt. Practically nothing remains
of the north portion of the building
except the outer walls, the walls sup
porting the dome, and the tile floor in
the first story"
The governor says he believes the
records are safe as the vaults appear
to be intact. There was little insur-
ance on the building, as the state was
changing to a system of state insur-
ance Of state property. Mayor Rose,
of Milwaukee, has offered the use OF
the Milwaukee city hall for temporary
quarters of the state government, and
a movement has been started for the
removal Of the capital of the state to
Milwaukee. The flames started from
defective wiring for electric lights.
Help was sent to the fire department
from Milwaukee, but nothing could
save the building after the fame got
start

Neutrality of Foods Shipped to BelliGer-

Washington, March 1.-The state de-
partment has received a copy through
the Russian embassy Of the imperial
decree fixing cOntraband of war of the
present struggle. Relative to the dec
laration that rice and foodStuffs are
contraband it is said at the state de-
partment that the destination of such
goods must determine their character.
If they are intended for either army
they are cOntraband and subject to
seizure.
If they are intended for the use Of
civilians. except in the case of be
sieged towns, then they must not be
seized. or if seized they must be paid
for. That is the doctrine laid down
by the United States government in
the Transyaal war, and it will be up
held during the present war.
