consented. but unfortunately the man
to whose lot 1t fell to write the letter
had forgotten the candidates name.
Nothing daunted. he wrote TO one OF
the seminary professors:
"Please send us that fioweret, stream

moonbeam young man again. We've
forgotten his name. but we've no doubt
you'll recognize him"
I'VE do" wrote the professor. And
the desired candidate was sent and
subsequently was called to the parish.

THE BoMBMAKER.
He Makes an Apparently Harmless
Letter a Deadly Machine.

So expert are bombmakers nowadays
that an apparently harmless letter may
kill any person who tries to open 1t. A
Piece of cardboard is cut TO size
which. when folded over, will fit into
an ordinary envelope. The four cor
ners of this are slit into narrow strips.
illuminate of mercury is spread over
three of the Sits, and the sheet is folded
and fastened together. Projecting from
each side OF the folded sheet is little
metal strip. or detonator. glued to the
cardboard In such a manner that the
envelope cannot be opened without
striking one of them. Upon meeting
this slight resistance the hand moving
the paper cutter instinctlvely pushes
harder. and the result is an explosion
that either kills or mains.
The easiest bomb to construct Is set
In operation by simply turning IT up
side down. 1t is usually a good sized
cracker box, lined with paper iAl half
filled with a mixture OF clli.--.ate of
potassium and ordinary sugar. Into
this bottle of powerful acid is In
troduced. The remainder OF the space
in the box is filed with scraps Of metal.
Then the lid Is soldered on.
All that is then necessary Is to place
the box upside down at the spot in
which 1t is to explode, The acid eats
quickly through the cork of the bottle
and comes in contact with the chlorate
OF potassium. AS result of the chem
seal combination which takes place
there is a terrific explosion.-Ch Chicago
News.

The EsPousAL.

Ancient cerenIoay Of the Mutual
Promise of Marriage.
The first part of the matrimonial of
nee was snciently termed the espousal,
which took place some time prior to
the actual celebration or marriage.
These esponsals consisted In a mutual
promise Of marriage. which was made
by the man and woman before the
bishop or preStyter and several wit
nRssss.
After them ahe articles Of agreement
OF marriage. called tabulOe matrimo-
males, which are mentioned by Angus
tine. were signed by beth persons. Aft
er this the man delivered to the wom-
an the ring and other giftH, an action
which was termed subarThatlon. In
the latter ages the eSpOuSals have al
ways been performed at the same time
as the Office a matrImony in all the
churches abroad. and It has long been
customary for me ring to be delivered
70 the woman after the centract has
been made. wliieh has always been in
the actual Office 81 matrimopy.
The ring Is special token of spous-
age. In some OF The old manuals for
the use or foreign cathedrais before
the minister proceeds 10 the marriage
he Is directed TO ask the womnn's
dowry-viz. the tokens of sponsage-
and by these tokens OF spousaxe are
to be understood rings or money or
some other things to be given e the
woman by the man, which giving is
called wedding or covenantlng. espe-
cially when it Is done by the giving of
a ring.-New York Tribune.

equally well accomplished by an equal
force of policemen"

France has occupied Casa Blanca
IN order to restore order, but she will
remain there and gradually draw more

Britain has done with Egypt and Japan
with Korea"

UNCLE SAM KEEPING
TAB ON POWDER TRUST

Washington, Aug. 9.-It was stated
at the department of justice today that
an amended bill had been filed by
the government In the powder trust"
case at Wilmington, alleging that since
the preparation of the governments
petition, on or about July 81, last, the
L, l. Dupont de Nemours Powder COM
pany, OF Delaware. transferred a large
part OF It's unsold finished products
and raw materials and things neces-
Jary to the operation OF It's business
to the f. I. Dupont de Nemours Pow
der company Of New Jersey.
The reason for this, the amended bill
says, was the discovery in the record
er's office at Wilmington OF papers in
dicating such a transfer by one of the
three operating companies to the hold
ing company In the alleged powder
trust.
1t Is stated that these papers dis
appeared, but the amendment was per-
sisted in. because 1t would have the
effect of requiring something to ba
said in the answers OF the defendants
as to the supposed transfer.
After the amendment and petition
had been sent to Delaware for filing,
the bill continues. the papers reap
peared In the recorders office and
show that such a transfer was act
ually made July n. three days before
the petition In the cas- was filed. In
the meantime the recorder Is declared
