A Strange Explosion.

A celebrated doctor in Reims, wht1
visiting a patient and listening to his
troubles, put his hand in his pocket
and mechanically rubbed together some
pastils which were there. Suddenly a
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 ont and that his
under linen was much sccrched. 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 t. cen
formed. This had ignited, with the re-
suit that the chlorate of potash pastii
had been instantly decomposed.

For Those Who Read.

In one of Mr. Mabie's literary talks
lie submitted the six following admo-
uitions for those who read:
Do not read at random. Select your
books in advance.
Read intelligently and with foresight.
Make Il 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 Il 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.
