DYNAMITE FlENps.
nsxscans Have discovered That ths
Explosive Is a Dream Producer.

ne<icans Have discovered That ~
Explosive Is Dream Producer. 5
An American business man Of
Monterey who was on a visit few
days ago to mining camp situated
near the city was surprised and mys-
titled to hear one Mexican miner
say to his companion as they came
from the depths of mine:
Come over to the cantina to-
night and take some dynamite with
me-"
The American superintendent ex-
planned the invitation:
"That was not an invitation tn
take drink of some new brand of
liquor, as might be supposed" he
said. "Those two Mexicans are dy-
Mantle fiends. They actually eat
dynamite and get drunk on the dan
Gerous substance"
1t is fact that many of the Mex-
lean miners of the peon class are
dynamite eaters. 1t is a vice that
Is rapidly spreading to all Of the
mining camps in Mexico. J. G..
Ford, prominent American mining
man of the Guadalupe y Calvo dis
trlct, said concerning this new
habit:
SUsers Of dynamite soon learn
that it is a powerful stimulant and
that the effects of intoxication are
pleasing while they last beyond the
most excruciating phantasies of an
opium dream. Dynamite is manu-
featured for the purpose of smash
ing things, and tiny bit of it cours-
ing through the veins smashes the
whole end of care and blows dullness
into atoms.
''The 'dynamiteur' usually is very
dainty and exact in his method of
going about the introduction of q
high explosive into his system. The
preferred way to do this is to cut
off small piece Of SIS per cent
'dyna,' about the size of a pea. This
is dissolved in a small glass of mes
cal or tequile, and the draft is quaff.
ed down with gusto that comes
from pleasant anticipations. The
performer Of this trick then rolls in
his blanket and stretches himself
at length in the cool shade. It is
said that very soon his nerves begin
to tingle, and stranger dreams come
to him than the weird visions in
duced by hasheesh.
''The amount of dynamite con-
sumed at an ordinary camp by those
addicted to taking it into their sys-
TENS in the way above described is
SO large that it appreciably affects
the quantity of that explosive re-
quired to carry on the regular work.
There is a large and increasing num-
Der of people addicted to vice that
only the most imaginative of per-
sons could have invented. It may not
be assuming too much to state that
eventually dynamite will be dis
pensed at saloons as much as are to-
bacco and alcoholic drinks and the
'dynamiteur' will be as distinct a
class as the absintheur or ordinary
boozer." = Monterey (Mexico) Let
ter in Denver News.

Care of the Cat.

A little powdered sulphur made
into paste with lard or unsalted
butter and smeared upon the front
paws now and then is an excellent
thing to keep cat in good condl-
ton, but care should be taken that
there is no exposure to cold or wet
until after the effects Of the medl-
cine have passed off. Raw meat
should not be given save in cases
where food is refused and it is nee
essary to build up the system. Then
it should be given in small quanti-
ties and be perfectly fresh and ~
from fit.

Misplaced Sympathy.

A French judge visiting England
was riding in a London tram car
when the conductor asked for his
fare. The judge offered a sixpence
and when he received fourpence
change gave the conductor two
pence, saying:
ssHere, my man, get yourself .
glass Of beer.
A clergyman, sitting opposite, In
terposed:
AExcuse me, sir, but is it wise to
encourage drinking? I have nos
touched a glass of beer tor years.

A Hen or a HeaqLe!

A certain celebrity found himself
at a city banquet next to a portly
alderman.
sMy grandfather knew Napo-
leon," said the latter to the dlstln-
guished guest. SThe emperor gave
him lovely snuffbox. There IS a
hen on the lid"
ssDear mep' replied the celebrity:
s1t is probably an eagle, not hem
mo, it is a hen, persisted the
alderman, producing the box from
his pocket and proudly displaying
the initial "N' of the emperors
name in brilliants on the lid.-Lon-

this was always done. To remove this
defect q California man mas invented
a rug fastener which should prove val
liable. 1t is made in two parts, both
stamped from resilient metal in the

out and holes near the cut-outs. The
upper part is sewed near the corner Of
the rug, while the lower part is nailed
to the floor in a place corresponding
to the corner of the rug when the lat

lower part is depressed so as to clamp
the heads of the nails, the edges of
both parts being turned down slightly
