j wife had accompanied me as a pre­
cautionary measure. She was sitting
in the laboratory, to keep warm, near
a big barrel stove charged with bitu­
minous coal.
“On entering the laboratory for
something my wife asked me what
was in those two tin palls sitting near
the stove. She said that she had a
| suspicion it might be nitrogylycerin,
I and she informed me that one of my
men hud Just been in stirring the tire
and that the sparks dew out in all di­
rections, some of them lighting in the
buckets to lie quenched on top of the
oily liquid.
.■w
“ ’Horrors!’ I said. ’It is nitroglyc­
erin!'
“I called the man who had placed it
there and told him to take it away. As
it was necessary to keep the material
I from freezing he took It into flip boil­
er house near by. A little later ou, go­
ing into the boiler house, I saw one of
the men stirring the tire while the oth­
er was standing with Ills coattails out­
stretched in either hand, forming a
shield to keep the sparks from dying
into the ultrogl.vcerin.
“In the manufacture of high explo­
sives and in experimenting with them

slight luck of exact caution, a seem­
ingly iuslgnlficnnt inadvertence for a
moment, may cost one a limb or Ills
life. The accident that cost me my
left hand Is a case In point.
“On the <lay preceding that accident
I had had a gold cap put on a tooth.
In consequence the tooth ached
throughout the night and kept me
awake a greater part of the time. In
the morning I rose early and went

ORIGIN OF AN EXPRESSION.
“If Thia Court Knows Harsalf, and
She Thinks Sho Do.’’
We frequently hear the expression.
| "If the court kuows itself, aud it
| thinks it does.” but few persons are
| aware of the origin thereof.
The individual who gave birth to it
was a I’ike county Missourian uamed
I Blackburn, who flourished In the west
many years ago. Blackburn ran away
from home when lie was a mere boy
aud sought his fortune in the west,
where he grew to manhood as an lu-
dlau fighter, till nt er. trapper and
mountain guide. Although not an ed­
ucated man. lie was jtossessed of great
acumen, to which was united a keen
wit. When gold was discovered In
California, Blackburn was one of the
first to proceed thither. The miners
as a sort of Joke elected him alcalde,
an office that combined the duties of
mayor and justice of the |>eace. The
first case coming before the uew al­
calde was that of a gambler who while
drunk had ridden his horse over a
young Mexican woman. She was seri­
ously injured.
The trial took place in the largest
cabin in the neighborhood. The gam­
bler, who was rich, had retained able
counsel to defend him. Alcade Black
burn called the young woman to the
witness stand. She told a straight­
forward. honest story. When site had
finished the alcnlde peremptorily end­
ed the trial. The attorney for the de­
fendant protested vigorously, but the
alcalde disposed of his protest thus:
"If this court knows herself, and she
thinks she do. 1 tine you J.-.tto damages
aud assess upou you the cost of puttin'
this young woman in go<ai condition."
When asked what he meant by
“good condition" the alcnlde replied
that the gambler must pay tin- doctor’s
bills nml all other coHts of the young
woman's slcknesa. -Exchange.
MOZART’S UNTIMELY END.
Sad Finish of the Career of the Great
Musical Genius.
Late hours, unwearied vigils, ever­
lasting labor, the effects of chills, damp
and exposure, in the hard life he led
a life alternating between brilliant
passages und the most loathsome
drudgery, la-tween rosy anticipations
of fortune and inevitable and eternal
dlsappoluttneiif» hud their efi'ects on
the vigorous couslltution of Mozart.
His lamp of life burnt out untimely.
While still n young man—only thirty-
five years old—be fell into ill health,
the syuiptoniH of which were a fitful,
restless nervousness, ii craving for in­
ordinate excitement and a rapid decay
of the physical stamina of his consti­
tution.
Unfortunately for him, in the ab­
sence of any strong Influence at home
which might keep him in the path of
duty, he was tempted to seek recrea­
tion abroad and fell into the company
of a dissipated »et of men, haunters
of tlie theaters and taverns of Vienna,
the chief spirit of whom was one
Bcblkaneder. a low, coarse man of nei­
ther refinement nor talent, lu com­
pany with this crew the glorious gen­
ius, whose critical state of health de
rnanded the utmost care and attention
from loving hinds, flitted night after
night from tavern to tavern in Vienna,
deluding himself with vice under the
lde-i that he wan gathering the sis-ret
spirit of brotherh<M>d for use in his
opera. "The Magic Flute.” on which
he at that time was engaged.—Row

posers.”
THE GOLD WAS THERE.
But Mark Twain Missed It by Just
One Pail of Water.
With Steve Gillis, n printer of whom
he was foud, Mark Twain went up
into Calaveras count, to a cabin on
Jackass hill, where Steve's brother
Jim. a lovable, plctttraoque character
(the “Truthful James" of Bret Harte),
owned mining claims. Mark decided
to spend his vacation in pocket min­
ing nnd soon added that science to his
store of knowledge. It was a halcyon,
happy three months that be lingered
there. One day with Jim Gillis ba
was following the specks of goid that
led to a pocket somewhere up the hill
when a chill, dreary rain set in. Jiiu
was washing and Clemens was carry­
ing water. The "color” became better
and better as they ascended, aud Gll-
Un. isMisessed with the mining passion,
would have gone on regardless of the
rain. Clemens, however, protested and
declared that each pall of water wns
his last. Finally he said In bls delib­
erate, drawllug fashion:
“Jim, I won't carry any more water.
This work Is too disagreeable. Let’s
go to the house ami wait till it clears
np."
Gillis had Just taken out a pan of
anrth.
“Bring one more pall, Sam,"lie plead­
ed.
“I won’t do it. Jlnr! Not n drop!
Not If I knew there was a million
dollars In that pan!"
They left the pan standing there and
went over to Angel’s enmp, wh’eh was
nearer than their own cabin. The
rain kept on. and they sat around the
grocery and barroom smoking and tell-
tng stories to pass the time.
Meanwhile the rain hail washed
away the top of the pan of earth left
standing on the slope of Jackass hill
and exposed a handful of nuggets—
pure gold. Two strangers had come
along and, observing It, had snt down
to wait until the thirty day claim
notice posted by Jim Gillis should ex­
pire. They did not mind the rain not
with that gold in sight and the min­
ute the thirty days were up they fol­
lowed the lend n few pans farther and
took out $20.000 in all. It was n good
pocket. Mark Twain missed It by oca
pall of water.—Chicago Poet.
