Exploded by Carelessness.

An accident illustrating how care
less, even to the verge of recklessness,
some persons become in the handling
of dangerous explosives, happened at
the Kennedy mine, Monday night.
An Italian miner, named Domenic
Vellia was the unfortunate victim of
his own thoughtlessness. He had
been employed in drilling. Just
before quitting time, he picked up a
dynamite cap and started to pick at
it with the point of his candlestIck.
The result was, it exploded in his
hand, taking off three fingers of his
left hand. and badly injuring both
eyes. Ii is considered doubtful if he
ever RECEIVERS his sight. He was taken
to Stockton Tuesday morning for
treatment in one of the hospitals in
that CITY.

destinies of newspaper, is mourning
the loss of two subscribers. No. l
wrote asking how to raise his twins
safely, while the other wanted to
know how he might rid his orchard of
grasshoppers. The answers went for
ward by mail, but by accident the
editor put them into the wrong en-
velopes, so the man with the twins
received the answer:
Cover them carefully with straw
and set fire to it, and then the little
pests, after jumping in the flames for
few minutes, will be speedily
settled"
And the man with the grasshoppers
was told to 'give castor oil and rub
their gums with bone. "-Exchange.
