Too Risky.

In boring for oil, when the drill
reaches the depth where it allows gas
to escape, every precaution is taken
against igniting it. lest there should
be a destructive explosion. This nee
essary precaution gives point to the
following story. told by a writer in
the Pittsburg News.
Il can deal with men, growled a
grizzled oil-driller, but a woman car
Guido the best Of US!
THE other day / brought in a well
down In Virginny. right close to the
kitchen door of a little farmhouse
Just as we were getting to the tick
lish point, where smoking wasn't al
lowed within forty rods. out comes the
farmers wife. and goes to building q
big fire in a Dutch oven.
"Mebby / didn't kick, but she Just
showed me a batch Of dough, an said
II she didn't bake it 'twould spoil. II
l wanted the fire out l had got to pay
for the dough. Ten dollars, too.
She Just dared me to touch that
Dutch oven. an I didn't touch 1t,
either. / Just gave her the ten.
"Mebby we didn't get that fire out
quick. II the we'll had broken loose
1t would have blown me an the whole
farmhouse out of sight!

ings with a woman. They're too

1T takes an apprentice a full yea!
drive a NALL said an expert carpen-
ter. When once he has realized this
it is only a matter of a few minutes
to learn how it should be done. The
commonest mistake is the belief that
a hard blow with the hammer is more
effective than several little taps, and
the learner is inclined to admire the
mar who drives a nail all the way IN
with but one blow. This is where he
is wrong; four or five blows are much
better than one. The reason is that
one hard blow inevitably makes the
nail rebound, eve so slightly, it is
true, but enough to make it hold less
firmly than it would if driven in grad
ually. The nail may be driven almost
all the way with n blow, but sew
eral lighter taps are necessary to fin
ish the job.
Another thing continued the old
carpenter, "the beginner generally
tries to drive his nails as ~perpendicu-
larly az possible. This is another er-
ror, for a nail driven Il little diagon-
ally holds the parts together mu.h
more firmly than one driven perDen-
dicularly. And in driving a nail dag
onally it is even more necessary TO
proceed with gentle taps, for hard
blows inevitably disp1ace the surfaces
that are to be held together"

Left Cloi.ter In Vain.

Miss Elsie Swanson, OF st. Louis, re.
nounced her aspiration to become a
nun because she believed her duty was
to search for her father. whom she
had not seen for eleven years. She
found him a few days ago in the coun.
ty jail at Joplin. a few minutes after
he was convicted of burglary and lar.
ceny and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary.
Swanson did not recognize his
daughter, but she picked him from a
crowd OF prisoners in the main cell
room. Father and daughter wept in
each other's arms. She will now try
to obtain a parole for him, and as he
was convicted solely on his own ad-
mission of guilt it is possible her plea
OF clemency will be granted.
Miss Swanson, who is 81 years old,
Is the ward of the Rev. G.. c. Stahl-
mann who took her from the custody
Of her father when she was 10 years
old, Swanson having been declared un-
fit to care for her. She was educated
in a convent.

RUss1A's MANY SALT LAKES.

Deposits Easily Worked.
The production of salt is n Of the
rapidly developing industries Of Rus
STA. Salt lagoons and lakes are dis
tributed over most parts Of the empire
and principally In the region Of the
| Black and the Caspian Seas. In these
lagoons during the dry and warm sea-
son the natural evaporation is so great
that from the oversaturated brine
great quantities of crystals OF salt are
precipitated. These salt lagoons.
marshes or lakes give annually as
have been known to yield 100000
| tons when seasons have been particu-
larly dry and warm.
Such work Isl done principally in the
provinces of Taurida, Kherson and
| Astrakhan. The Basekunchak lake, 10.
Gated within the last-named province,
gives in favorable seasons enormous
quantities. sometimes nearly 40O,O 900
tons. The bottom of this lake con-
sists Of thick layers Of salt. and the
visible supply has been computed at
nearly 100000 tons.
Another lake. the Elton, contains a
larger reserve Of solid salt along it's
bottom measuring forty square miles.
Beginning not far from the Sea Of
Azov, embracing all the north and
east of the Caspian sea and extend
ing to the asst and northeast of this
is a vast territory, larger in area than
France, in which every lake and stand
Ing pool Of water is brackish or salt
and only running water Is fresh.
Hundreds Of these lakes could be
profitably worked for salt if required.
Many Of the lakes contain besides
common salt various other compounds
imbedded in the brine or imbedded in
the sediments of their bottoms. These
compounds are valuable in h~ydropathy.

The largest gray wolf ever seen IL
this parish was killed by Owen Weems
about three miles south Of here. This
wolf. has been terrorizing the inhabit

fact that he has killed hundreds OF
sheep and hogs. A. NJ. Edwards lost
many valuable hogs, until finally or.
ganized parties would sit up at night
In an effort to kill the animal. Mr.
Edwards offered a standing reward OF
500 to the person who killed the wolf.
Mr.. Howse, who lives in the same
neighborhood, lost several head OF
hogs and sheep by the nightly visits
OF the gray fellow. and he congratu-

The wolf was on exhibition in a bill

attention. An admission Of 10 cents
wal charged to view the corpse, 10
per cent of the fund realized to go for
school purposes.
Mr.. Howse, upon hearing that the
wolf had been killed. brought his en-.
tire family to town to take a look at
the animal which had caused his fam
lily so much alarm during the last two
years. The wolf appears to be about
IL years OF age, with teeth decayed.
and has the appearance of a great dog.
His head Is peculiarly shaped, not like
the wolves of the northwest, but has a
large fiat head. The animal weighed
80 pounds and stood about 3b feet
high.
Weems saw the animal while out
hunting, and at first thought 1t was a
