Talk n'out dynamite, I can loll you a Rtory of what nitro glycerine once did in our State. It wan out near Prairie du Cliien, where they were Masting on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul road. The contractor had Heveral kegs of the atutf in an under ground place. One day a workman lefi place open; hy and by a hog came along, found a keg open, and, aa glyc. erinn is as awect almost aa honey, the animal filled himself. He cam out liy nn'l by and noon wandnnd into a stable winch contained about fcrty hows 'longing to the contractor. The hog got fooling around among the hnrW hind Ii'jjh, when one of them drew off and gave Mr. Hon a uood one. The concussion started the business, and not a vestige was ever discovered of the hog or of a single horse or the stable. . And when the stable ones stood tin ro was a hole in tho earth fifty feet deep and 200 feet in circumference. Fact, gentlemen! Madison Democrat, Speaking of the kini s of nut bear ing trees which can be grown with profit the Farmer and Dairyman st.ys: "The importance of cultivating nut bearing trees in this part of the north west will not depend so much on what can lie made in growing nuts for the domestic market as in the future com mercial value of the wood furnished by the trees. Especially will this ap ply to the walnut and hickories enum erated. With some of the seasoned hard woods selling in this market for from $."50 to $l" ) per thousand, it would see.ii as if there, is a dunce for those having energy and pitience to grow large groves of hwdwood trees, such as liirkory, walifut, eta, to reap a a rich future reward, or leave one to their children comin after.

Girls as well as hoys need to under stand about kerosonn explosions, A great many fatal accidents happen from trying to pour oil into a lamp while it is lighted. Most persor.a suppose that it is the kerosene itself that explodes, and if they are very careful to keep the oil from Iteing touched by the fire there will he no explosion. But that is not so. If a can or a 'amp is left aliout half full of kerosene oil, the oil will dry up, that is "evaporate" a littlo, and will form, by mingling in. the air in the upper pirt of the can, a very explosive gas. You cannot see this gas any more than you can air. Hut if it is disturbed and driven out, and blaze reaches it, there will bo a terrible ex plosion, although the blaze did not touch the oil. There are several other liquids used in houses and workshops which will product) an explosive vapor in this way. lnzine is ono, burning fluid is another, and naphtha, alcohol, ether and chloroform may do the same thing. In a New York shop lately there was a can of benzine or gasoline on the floor. A boy sixteen years old lighted a cigarette and threw tho burn ing match on tho noor near tho can. lie did not dream that there was any danger, because the liquid was' locked up in the can. Jiut there was a great explosion and ho was badly hurt. This seems very mysterious. The probabili ty is that the can had lieen standing there a good while and a good deal of vapor had formed, some of which had leaked out around tho stopper and was hanging in a rort of invisible cloud over and around the can, and the cloud, when tho match struck it, exploded. Suppose a girl tries to (ill a kerosene lamp without first extinguishing the blaze. Of course the lamp is nearly empty or she would not care to fill it, This empty space is tilled with a cloud of explosivo vapor arising from the oil in tlo lamp. When she pushes the nozzle of tho can into the lamp at the top, and iM'gins to pour, the oil, run ning into the lamp, tills the empty spaces and pushes the cloud ot explo sive vapor, and the vapor is obliged to pour over the edges of the lamp into the room outside. Of oourse it strikes against the blazing wick which the girl is holding down by tho side. .The blaze of tho wick sets the invisible cloud of vapor on tire, and there is an explosion which ignites (he oil and scat ters over her clothes and over tho fur niture ef the room. This is thn way in which a kerosene lamp hursts. This same thing may happen when a girl pours the oil over the Hre in the range or -tove, if there is a cloud of explosive vapor in the upper part of the can, or if the stove is hot enough to vaporize quickly some of tho oil as it falls. There is no safety except in thn rule: "Never pour oil on a lighted fire or into a lighted lamp." I ho ird a story the other day says a dramatio writer, about an actor who lost his wife. Ho appeared to be very much overcome with the event, and at thn funeral he took on terribly, weeping and moaning and beating his breast in anguish. A friend of his who was present at the ceremony did not sco the actor again until two weeks later. Said thn 'friend: "You hav my deepest commiseration. I was present at the funeral of your wife and you seemed to bo terribly broken up. In fact, 1 don't think I ever saw a man who seemed to suffer so." "Oh, that was nothing," responded the actor brightening up at this tribute to his genius; "you ought to have seen me ut the grave. I raised hell there. A British sailor at the battle of thn Nile, at the moment when the officer of the watch said to him, "Do you make out the flagship on the port or starboard bow, Bill?" was struck by a bullet in the head. For fifteen months tho sailor remained insensible, but not dead, with a ball in his head which could not be extracted. In the fullness of time he was taken to the Greenwich Mospittl, and trephined when the foreign body was removed frori the niiihborhood of his brain, J when he said, "Just off the aUrboard, j tow." Kcmorlri of Shi I oh Batllrflcld. . Two men were sitting in front of steam coil in ono of the hotels. They were of the generation of this last war. The ono was an ex-judge. His declin ing days have boon pleasant to him, for tho people of his associations hive rewarded him with all that his ambi tion craved. He was a soldier at Shi loh and belonged to the legion that wore the blue. His companion, -I took him to be such had Imen on the other side at the same battle. Both men had drifted along together in life until they seemed to have reached the last corner, where they stood com paring notes preparatory to the march from one world to another. They be gan discussing the paper by Cen. Gen. Grant and the ono by Johnston. From their manner you never would have suspected that they were talking' about a battle; that thoy had ever seen a battle. They looked each other in the eye and the light came into their faces, and they made diagnms in tho dust on the marble floor, and in the pa! ics of their hands, and on their pan. tuloons. A man who had boon sitting near by moved his chair up so noise lessly that his approach had not been noticed, and he had done it so respect fully that he could not have been con sidered an intruder, anyway. He sat listening to the story of Shiloh, his chin in his hand and the deepest thought on his face. The old Federal had pushed up the sleeve of his coat and pointed to a soar . on his arm, and then thn Confederate pushed back the gray hair from his own head and pointed to a saber put that was almost grown over. The stranger put down an empty sleeve where it would show, and the Federal and thn Confederate "took him into camp," and then there were three tell ing the story of Shiloh, the stranger making another diagram in the dust of the floor, which seemed to conflict with the first one made. In the talk that followed the first two had forgotten to ask which side ho was on, and the stranger neglected to say. But the point of interest to me was that three men who had been there in that mad conflict should come together so many years after and tell the story so dispas sionately that the identity of one of them was lost. Chicago Herald. The fllrli llow Thty Suffer. Girls are of few days and full of mischief, and whoeyur is deceived thereby ii not wiso. When the fair . girl chewoth Iter gum with greater, haste and stampelh her foot do thou look out. She cometh forth in the evening in low neck and short sleeves; but in the morning she lieth in bed while her mother hustleth, When the sleigh'joll tinkleth she standeth at the window and yeameth for a beau, and when he cometh tho doeth up his purse. He wrappeth the buffalo robe about her and huggeth hfr much and stayeth out beyond his time, and the livery man addeth four good dollars to his bill. In the evening he hieth him self away to her fathor's mansion. He goeth in and sitteth by the tire, and ere he leaveth he poppeth the question, and she jumpoth at the chanco. When the cock croweth ho tuketh his departure, and when he remembreth the smallnsss of his salary he kioketh himself and compareth himself to an ass; yea, verily. He getteth his license and goeth forth on the morning of his wedding duy, and employeth a godly man to do the job, and when the sun setteth he tindeth himself a married man. Selah! The robin nesteth again and he clotheth himself in sackcloth and ashes and runneth swiftly unto the gates and knocketh, and telleth the doctor that the wife of his bosom trav aileth much, and rusheth back again. The old woman prophesieth a loy and he jumpeth up and down and crackoih his heels together with joy; the doctor speaketh words of wisdom and caution Hh him not to ratify be fore the returns are alt in. The night wearing wearily on and the young muii wsxeth impatient, but the old lady speaketh words of cheer and prophesi eth yet again, and he Indotli his time and awaiteth his mward. A cry suiit' eth his ear and the drum thereof and he bitelh his lip and kicketh him seif Hijsin as the old woman p keth her head in the dcur and Lriiigeth tid.ugt of two more girls. ( i i i I'
