EXPLOSIVES.
Dangereui Substances That Art r.
Almost Constant U.
' Among the many things lu almost
constant use are some that ure more 01
lees dangerous from their explosive
properties, properties often entirely
unknown to their users.
For examples, chloride of potash
lorences If accidentally brought In
contact with an unllghtcd phosphorou
match are dangerous. Bicarbonate of
potash If mixed with subnltrato of bis
uiuth, the latter a remedy for Indlges
tlon, will explode.
Iodide of nitrogen Is highly explo
aire and la often combined with other
drags. Its use by those Ignorant of It
danger Is a menace.
Sal Tolatile and chloral hydrate are,
tinder certain conditions, as dangerous
as dynamite.
Tincture of Iron and dilute aqua regln
when mixed, as they often are In toed
Iclne, throw off a highly explosive gas.
which has frequently shattered the hot
tie In which the mixture was kept.
One often Dads bottles of medicine In
which the cork has not been tightly
pushed minus the latter or has bad a
cork pop out of a bottle while held in
one's hands without any attempt to re
move It on the part of the holder. This
always shows that gas Is forcing the
cork out
Danger In combs.
Every now and then one reads of cel
luloid articles, from fancy hair coiffure
combs down, catching fire and serious
burns or accidents resulting. ,
It would seem that every one should
by this time know that celluloid con
tains In Its composition gun cotton and
also camphor, both highly Inflammable.
No woman wearing celluloid combs or
hair ornaments should place1 her head
near an uncovered gas Jet or other un
protected light, as celluloid catches flre
so quickly and burns so rapidly that It
would hardly be possible to avoid seri
ous burns. St. Louis Republic.
TRAVELERS ABROAD.
A Document That Should Ba Carried
In One's Pocketbook.
Replying to an inquiry about the dis
position of the body of an American
dying In Loudon, our consul general
offers some advice to citizens of this
country traveling abroad. He says:
"If a citizen of the United States be
traveling abroad unaccompanied it
would be well for him to carry In his
satchel or pocketbook written Instruc
tions as to what be desires should be
done In the event of anything happen
ing to him. The envelope containing
such instructions should be headed.
'Instructions in the event of my death.'
Inclosed be should give bis home ad
dress or the address of a friend in the
United States, so that communication
Could be made, or the address of any
friend or business connection on this
side could be mentioned with the same
object and for the purpose of obtain
ing necessary funds. I have been In
formed on credible authority that a
person has no legal right to control the
disposition of his remains, although I
have no doubt relatives or friends
would respect the wishes of the de
ceased. In the event of the death in
this country of a person domiciled in
the United States at any of the hotels
an undertaker Is at once called in and
the remains removed therefrom, pro
vided always the deceased has had
proper medical attendance and that the
doctor attending gives a certificate of
death. If the death Is sudden, the cor
oner of the district is at once notified
and an inquest Is held, the body in the
meantime being removed to a public
mortuary pending result of the in
quest. If the verdict of death from
natural causes be rendered, the coro
ner signs an order and gives it to the
representative of the deceased, who in
structs the undertaker what to do.
The transportation of the remains is
In the hands of the friends or the rep
resentative of the deceased and is not
controlled by any local or government
authority."

f Gout the Foe of Consumption.
Sir Dyce Duckworth In his address
to the faculty of medicine said that
many persons were constitutionally
predisposed to rheumatism and gout,
but an important characteristic in such
ease3 was the antagonism of the tis
sues to the bacilli of tuberculosis.
The more rheumatic or gouty a person
was the less pronounced was his tend
ency to consumption. London Post.

ANIMAL LEGENDS.
Ta
Buxa of the Mosquito and
thi
' Swallow's Forked Tail.
Iu Palestine whore several religions
exist side by side, legends have crossod
and intermingled in such a way as to
make a distinct folklore. A eolleetlou
of stories from "Folklore In the Holy
Land," by the Hew J. E. Ha na tier,
contains many Bible legends In now
forms and with humorous addlttous.
Que explains how the mosquito came
to bust and why the swallow's tali Is
forked.
After the fall of man the serpeut
missed the reward which the evil one
had promised him namely, the sweet
est food hi the world. An angel was
appointed to asslgu to every creature
his food and dwelling place. The ser
pent asked for human flesh. But Adam
protested and pointed out Bhrewdly
that as nobody had ever tasted human
flesh it was Impossible to maintain
that It was the most luscious of food.
Ihus he gained a year's respite for the
race.
Meanwhile the mosquito was sent
round the world with Instructions to
taste and report upon the blood of ev
ery living creature. At the end of
twelve months it was to report in open
court the result of Its researches.
Xow, Adam had a friend in that sa
cred bird the swallow, which annually
makes a pilgrimage to Mecca and all
holy places. This bird shadowed the
mosquito all the twelve mouths until
the day of the decision. Then as the
Insect was on its way to the court the
swallow met it openly and asked what
flesh and blood it had found sweetest.
"Man's,'' replied the mosquito.
"What?" asked the swallow. 'Tlease
say It again, for I am rather deaf."
On this the mosquito opened its
mouth wide to shout, and the swallow
darted in its bill and plucked out the
Insect's tongue, v
They tueu proceeded to the court,
where all living creatures were assem
bled to hear the decision. On being
asked the outcome of Us investigation
the mosquito, which could now only
buzz, was unable to make itself under,
stood, and the swallow, pretending to
be its spokesman, declared that the
Insect had said that it had found the
blood of the frog the most delicious.
Sentence was therefore given that
frogs, not men, should be the serpent's
food.
In its rage and disappointment the
serpent darted forward to destroy the
swallow. But the bird was too aulck:
the serpent succeeded only In biting
some feathers out of the middle of the
swallow's tail
This is 'why swallows have forked
talis.
EASY PHYSICAL CULTURE.
How One May Promote Good Health
Without Expense.
First of all, there is the sensible use
of the odd moments of the day. For
example, I must go out to my work in
the city; I must get up from my chair
after or at intervals during my work; I
must go upstairs. Here are the oppor
tunities: During the wash I can rub myself
well all over my skin. Having used
the warm water and soap ami" warm
water again, I can dip my hands In
cold water and then give my skin a
capital friction with the palms of my
hands. This will afford excellent ex-1
erclse for the arms and shoulders and, J
when I stoop, for the trunk muscles.
It will clean me, will help to harden
and invigorate me and will make my
bands and my whole body glow de
lightfully. It will need scarcely any
extra time.
When I go out Into the street, and
indeed whenever I go out, I can take
two extra deep and full breaths of
fresh air in through the nostrils. And
I can repeat this wonderfully healthy
practice whenever I wait at a crossing,
whenever I wait at all, and Just before
I go Into any building from the street,
and also before any important work
or interview, and, of course, the first
thing in the morning and the last thing
at night Here there is not one mo
ment of extra time demanded, but
there is so much effective but easy
physical culture that at the end of a
year the improvement in the breathing
capacity, the endurance, the vigor, the
complexion and even In the control of
the temper may be almost beyond be
lief. And, best of all, the automatic
habit of fuller and more rhythmical
inhalations may be firmly fixed. Eus
tace Miles In Metropolitan Magazine.
The Dear Old Days.
Touched by his sad story, a Harris
burg woman recently furnished a meal
to a melancholy looking hobo who bad
applied therefor at the back door.
"Why do you stick out the middle
finger of jour left hand bo straight
while you are eating?" asked the com
passionate woman. "Was it ever bro
ken?" "No, mum," answered the hobo, with
a snuffle. "But during my halcyon
day8 I wore a diamond ring on that
finger, and old habits are hai-d to break,
mum." Harper's Weekly.
The Candidate's Course.
"When a candidate thinks he's right
he must stick to his belief."
"But supposing all his constituents
think differently?"
"In that case lo must show bis true
greatness by casting aside all personal
bias and emphatically assuming that a
majority cannot be wrong." Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Everybody Pleased.
Deacon Are you willing to go? Un
popular Citizen (dylng)-Oh, yes; I am.
