AN OLD TIME EXPLOSION.

lts Curious Phases Told by a Seven
 teonth Century Scribe. T
 An old chronicler tells a curious sto- ry of an explosion which occurred in London Jan. 4. 1649. A ship chandler, 1t seems, about T of the clock at night. being busy in his shop about barreling up of gunpowder, 1t took fire and in the twinkllng of an eye blew up not only that, but all the houses thereabout to the number of fifty or sixty. The number of persons destroy ed by this blow could never be known, for the next house but one was the Rose tavern, a house never (at that time of nightl. but full of company. 1. And in three or four days, after dig ging. they continually found heads. arms, legs. etc." The most interesting part of the account comes further on: . . ''In the digging they found the mis. tress of the house of the Rose tavern sitting in her bar and one of the draw CTS standing by the bars side, with a pot in his hand; only stifed by dust and smoke. their bodies being preservl ed whole by means of great timbers falling across one upon another. tilmtT
 There was also found upon the up- per: leads of Barking church a young child lyinG in cradle as newly laid in bed. neither child, nor cradle having the least sign of fire or other hurt. It was never known whose child it was, so that one of the parish kept 1t for memorial. for in the year 1868 Saw the child. grown to be then a proper Fn01f7on % ..sf4tEtt- f7.ii ..'r ]! .

Sweden Aids Its Athletes.

Sweden is the only country in which the practice of athletics among adults is state aided. The Swedish National Union of Athletes has since its foun- dation received an annual subsidy of 10000 crowns ($5,4OO from the gov ernment. The union bestows gold, sil- yer and bronze badges on all who at tain a certain standard in athletics. In order to encourage the continuance of training in later life these badges are bestowed according to age as we'll as proficiency. The gold badge can be secured only by men over thirty-two who can swim POO meters, take long jump of five meters, put the weight sixteen meters and run ten kilOmeters in fifty minutes. This performance has to be repeated annually in order to retain the badge.

A NAVAL REBUKE.
Two AdmiraIs, a Captain and Fo'
 In Manila Bay.

Two AdnairaIa, a Captain and a Fool
 In Manila Bay.
 When Dewey's fleet was at Manila the late Admiral Chichester was then a captain. On one occasion Admiral DIedrichs. the German, sent out the Irene on an unrevealed errand and without the customary notification to the commander of the blOckading fleet.
 Admiral Dewey had suffered. he thought, sufficiently from that sort of thing, and so the admiral sent vessel across the Irene's bows and notified her captain that she would not be per mitted to depart without a statement as to her destination.
 It was not Admiral Dfedrichs' mis- sion to quarrel with both the Amer1- can and the English fleets on this critical occasion, so he sought to find out Captain Chichester's purpose In case of a collision. Going on board Chichesters ship. he angrily exclaim- ed. Did you see what Dewey did to my shIpT''
 Yes" replied Chichester.
 What would you have done if 1t had been an English shipT'
 "well," said Chichester, convenient ly assuming that the Irene's captain had sailed without orders from Die drichs, ''Td have put my captain in arrest, and then I'd have gone on board the Olympia and apologized to Admiral Dewey for having such a fool in command of onA of my Rhf1s "- Harper's Weekly.

ATTACKS OF. HICCUPS.
H Persistent They May Carry With
 Them Grave Warning.

Hiccup is the SpaSmOdic contraction of the diaphragm. It may be d symp- tom of the most trivial importance that yields to the simplest kind of treat ment or of serious and intractable affection that persists for long time and even produces death by exhaustion. No one may hope to be entirely free from hiccup; in its simple form it is extremely frequent, but upon the whole it is more common with children than with adults. > - >-~
 Sometimes the attack comes on with follow a sudden chill. such as that caused by stepping from 8 warm bed to cold room; it may accompany a violent fit of crying, or it may be due to the distension of the stomach by food or gas. Severe fright or nervous shock has also been known to lead to intractable attacks of hiccups.
 A feeble infant with whom hiccup comes to be of daily occurrence often falls into state of extreme exhans ton. In such case great care should be. taken to ward off or put an early stop to the attack.
 Where there is any serious disorder of the abdominal organs, persistent hiccup is disquieting symptom. and when 1t occurs as. an accompaniment of kidney disease it is almost always of grave significance.
 In simple cases very slight measures are sufficient to put an end to the attack. Anything that causes feel ing of suffocation will generally effect cure, because that feeling naturally results in a forced contraction of the diaphragm. One old fashioned remedy is the slow slipping of glass of water; another is the drawing and holding of deep breaths at regular intervals.
 In the case of small babies, a mere change of position will sometimes stop. an attack. When the hiccup does not yield promptly to simple measures. careful search should be made for the cause. In the case of infants or small children, this is usually connected with the diet.-Youth's Companion.

STEEL RAILS A MARVEL.

The Strain. the Pull. the Pounding and
 Grinding They Endure
 Have you an idea oi the St'pIn to which a steel rail IS Subjptted tOdayT Let us consider one for Il mnmpnt in the time of it's grt.itrSt torture and see. The Cannon Ball express iS cOm- ing. It k drawn by two engines. The largest weighs 1O0 tons Seventy seven tons of the weight are crrried on the six driving wheels. which means almost thirteen tous to a wheel. Thirteen tons of weight upon each wheell That means thirteen tons of weight Impinging for a flying instant upon a rail surface perhaps no more than an inch square and then moving forward all the time. a succession of WhirIing blows from a thirteen ton hammer
 If the train ls going thirty miles an hour m imaginary square inch has but one ve-hundred-and-twent eighth part of q second in which to receive the blow, wince under 1t. dis tribute the terrible force of 1t through its elastic elements to the surrounding mass of the rail. brace itself to help distribute stresses that are being set | up on adjacent surfaces and ZIgZag- | ging back and forth In all sorts of ways through the content of the rail and then almost instantly lift it's de voted head to receive the blow of the next driving wheel If the train is eoinR sixty miles an hour instead of thirty this all has to be received. m,A oA NT1 fnr hundred-and- -fifty-sixt part of a sec ond
 And yet this isn't all that Is happen ing to the nerves of the rail. This Is only taking account of the compress sion strains There Is another set of strains. for these big driving wheels are pulling the train They have caught hold of the rails just as your hands grip the rope In a tug-of-war. and they take a fresh hold every frac- ton of a second The tendency Is to pull the top or head of the rail. to pull 1t all to pieces It Is the business of the rail to stick together. head and web and nange. in every single and separate molecule with all the tenactty of which steel Is capable
 But we have stated only one-half the tension strain. This strain Is revers- ing all The time. for while the huge drivers Rrr pulling one part of the rail toward them they are pushing HH-%aaer part away from them This pincKlhg Hs'" sDurnlng. hauling and Kicking. tension anu impression 20 on continuously Complete reVe--InR from compression to tension or back again takes place with every half turn of a driving wheel and at frightfully apid rnte The marvel Is that the rail Is not ground to powder.-Metro- politan Magazine.

this a record breaker, insofar as
religious demonstration III the city
of Nashville was concerned.
The special committee to make the
plans and arrangements for these
four days institute work, with the
demonstration on Sunday afternoon,
consists of Revs. Henry Allen Boyd,
N. H. Plus, and J. Davenport Bushel
The Union, Sunday added the officers
to this committee.
The plans as reported by the COM
mittee were, that the forty-two Bap-
fist Sunday-schools of Nashville were
to cooperate to the following ex-
tent:
First: One Superintendent from
each of the AZ Sunday-schools is
to influence at least four of his
teachers to attend the Institute.
Second: Each teacher Is to in
fluence at least five pupils to attend
while each church is to furnish an
average of so members.
The committee shows by these cal
culations that it is reasonable to ex-
pect minimum attendance Of S,13O,
at the four days institute, and 5000
at the afternoon meeting.
Much enthusiasm was shown, when
the report was read and exp aimed
by Henry Allen Boyd, who reported
for the committee, and who stated
that it was leading up to Nashville's
preparations for the coming Sunday
