SIX HUNDRED PERSONS INJURED
LITTLE CITY OF FONTANEf, INDi. ANA TORN TO PIECES BY BLAST FROM DUPONT
 POWDER PLANT.

Fontanet, Inl.,-Fontanet was prac- tically destroyed Tuesday by the ex. plosion of the plant of the Dupont Powder Company. The dead number approximately 35. More than 600 per sons were injured, and every building in the town was wholly or partly lev eled to the ground. Where stood a thriving and busy town of 1000 peo- pie Tuesday morning, at night there was scattered wreckage. The dead and more seriously injured have been taken away. Five hundred inhabi- tants, all more or less wounded, re- main to gather their scattered house. hold goods and sleep under tents on cots, guarded by soldiers of the state. Without warning, the powder mills, seven in number, blew up at 9:15 a. m. They employed 200 men, and of these 75 were at work when the first explosion occurred in the press mill. In quick succession the glazing mill, the two coining mills and the powder magazine blew up, followed by the cap mill. In the magazine, situated sever- al hundred yards from the mills, were stored 10000 kegs of powder. The coneussion when it blew up was felt nearly 200 miles away.

Moors Will Resist Police.

Tangier, Oct.-Judging from the lat est semi-official declarations here, Sul- tan Abdel del Aziz, during his confer ences with the French minister, M. Renault, at Rabat, invited France to consider the question of establishing a protectorate over Morocco, includ- ing the immediate occupation of the entire coast. The most disQuietlng feature of the general situation, with the exception of the reported request of the sultan that the ports be occu- pied by French troops, is the practl- cal certainty that an attempt is now imminent to impose foreign military police upon the various seaports or Morocco, which, it is believed, will meet with the fierce resistance of the natives.

The Aoe of Sheen.

No one likes to be deceived or hoodwinked into buying something he feels sure is being misreprensted to him. While this is true in all cases. it is particularly so in live stock de tais. Every experienced sheep man is able to tell the ages of his sheep by their teeth, and those who intend to go into the business should know for their own protection.
 Until sheep are four years old their ages may be accurately determined by the size of their front teeth. Lambs have small straight teeth of almost equal size, with spaces between them. At from 15 to IS months of age the first pair of incisors appear in the center At from 21 to A months of age the next pair of permanent teeth appear, one on each side of the year. ling teeth. The third pair come at from 30 to 33 months and at from 3S to AZ months they have full mouth" or eight permanent front teeth.

A Definition of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien- lists and the opponents of unbelief benefited themselves or humanity at large by sowing the seeds of doubt broadcast in the world? The real sci entists do not fall in this category, for they are believers in the real sense of the word; they know too much, they have seen too many mysterious mani festations of the Divine creative pow CT. Now, those who have disposed of the Bible and all evidences of inspira- tion, have written a great many books and some of them have won what the world at large lightly calls fame. Ac- cording to the ordinary measures that are applied in such cases, they have been extremely successful, but real success means the benefit of human ity in some form or other. If no such benefits can be shown as the result of their labors, their success is not equal to that achieved by the direst poverty and the deepest ignorance. = Joel Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

HAVE CRAZE FOR FORMULA.
Smokers Follow Fashions in the Use
 of Tobacco.

Make me up a package of tobacco according to the formula used by Ed win Booth," said the man with a southern accent. That is the third man who has asked for that kind of tobacco today" said the dealer. Tt is strange that people from remote parts of the country as well as New Workers make fad of buying the same brand of tobacco that Booth smoked. And it isn't always the Booth mixture that they want. I have filed away the formulas for mixing the favorite tobacco of many famous per sons. Smokers the country over have heard of this collection of recipes and one feature of every mans trip to New York is to try a pipeful of some big mans favorite tobacco. In most cases this special mixture is so strong that the nerves of the average smoker cannot stand it. He has to give up after few pipefuls and go back to popular mixture, but he has the satisfaction of having had the ex- perience. he New York Sun.

GroWinu Early Cabbaqes.

The best time for sowing seed for the carry cabbage crop is in Septem- ber. I have always found that it is best to make two sowings, one about La middle of the month and another the last week in the month. The req son for this is that the early sown ones may, in favorable and late fall get too large and be more inclined to run to seed in the spring. But I be- iieve the main cause for the running to seed is getting the plants stunted in the fall by dry weather. If the seed are sown in rich bed and naturally moits soil, or near where water can be had in abundance and the plants are aever allowed to suffer from lack of water, I would prefer good large plants for setting.
