How the Bottom of an Oil Well Looks. There aro thousands of people who have desired to see what the bottom of an oil well looked like after a hundred quart glycerine torpodo had been ex ploded in it. But no ordinary mortal could crawl down a sis-inch hole to the depth of 2000 feet if he wanted to, and no sane one would want to if he could. So the curious oil seeker has heretofore been compelled to guess as to the effect of the shot. An oil country photographer has fur nished the desired picture. The suc cessful experiment was made at Warren on Thursday. The instrument was let down to the bottom of a 1700 foot well, which had been subjected to a torpedo explosion. Whon the camera touched bottom a bright flash lit up the cavity, impressing a perfect picture on the negative. A cavity fourteen foet broad and seven feet deep below the oil sand was revealed. Into this cavity, enlarged by the forco of a glycerine explosion, from tho ordinary six-inch drill hole tho oil trickled and accumu lated, ready to bo pumped to the sur face. Has nature any more secrets she .would like to hide from inquisitive man? If so they will need to be buried beyond the reach of the oil driller's steel augur. Into tho deepest recesses the drill can penetrate, the modern photographer stands ready to turn the broad light of noonday.— Philadelphia Times. A Japanese Professional Beauty. The professional beauty of Japan, like her sister of the West, has her uses for the purpose of advertisement. The following advertisement is an example: •'When we opened our tobacco store at Tokio, our establishment was patron ized by Miss Nakakoshi, a celebrated beauty of Inamotoro, Shin-yo-shiwara, nnd she would only smoko tobacco pur chased at our storo. Through her pat ronage our tobacco became widely known, so wo call it by the name of Ima Nakakoshi. And we beg to assure tho public that it is as fragrant and sweet as the young lady herself.

During the long, cold winter, tht blood becomes thin and impure, the body become* weak and tired, the appetite may be lost. Hood't Sarsaparllla Is peculiarly adapted to purify and en rich the blood, to nreate a good appetite and to over come that tired feeling. Hood's Sarsaparllla "Every spring for years I have made It a practice to take from three to ilve bottles of Hood's Bar ■aparllla, because I know it purifies the blood and thoroughly cleanses the system of all impuri ties.

While vaseline is an excellent, house, hold remedy, it must be remembered that it is a powerful promoter ol tho growth of the hair, and for that reason it should not be used about the face. It is the very best remedy to restore to health hair which is inclined to fall) out and seems to have become dry and dead. It should be rubbed into the scalp, not on the hair, and the hair should be brushed long and vigorously, and the brushing repeated each morn ing aftorward. Once in two or three woeks is often enough to apply the vaseline to the scalp unless tho hair still seems dry. ITEMS ON HOUSEWORK. Good housekeeping consists in con tinual care for small thingj which in themselves aro nothing, but in the total mnko up the comfort of home life. It is a simple matter to see that all the house stores are kept on hand,that each match-box about tho promises is filled, that every room has a convenient re ceptaclo for matchesand one for burned matches. Yet the neglect of so trifling a matter may cause some one, hunting in the dark for a match, an enormous amount of annoyance. A good supply of nico brown papers laid away care fully and a bag or box containing dif - ferent kinds of twine cost a house keeper nothing, as they may be saved * om parcels; yet such a habit will find ready appreciation when some one is in need of paper and string to tie up a parcel. There is nothing so unsightly as an old newspaper for such a purpose Thero are so many good uses that old newspapers can be put to, that brown paper 6liould be always kept on hand to wrap up parcels. Thero is nothing better than old news papers under a carpet to soften the tread and keep the hard floor from wearing out tho carpet. Thero 6eems to be some ingredient in tho printer's ink that drives away moths, and for that reason newspapers are better than anything else to wrap up furs and wol leus during the summer. They should never be destroyod after they are read unless used for kindling, but should be kept in a straight pile. It is a wise precaution to keep a roll of old linen, one of old cotton and needle) and thread in the kitchen draw where it' can be readily found in case of a burn or cut. A stepladder on band to reach to high places saves a great deal of trouble. A stepladder-table, which may bo covered when not in use, or a wooden-seated chair should bo on every floor, except tho kitchen floor, where the ceilings are usually so low that any high place can bo reached by standing on tho kitchen chain, which aro always, or should be, made with wooden scats that may be scrubbed and washed. All these matters aro small, but a series of petty vexations aro moro liablo to irri tate the temper than genuine trials. New York Tribune. RECITES.

Bemo gentlemen were looking at the tons of ice piled tipon the dike and tbe conversation turned upon the power of the ice during • shove. An interesting sample of ice force was recalled by one citizen—a house and family swept away "like a pack of oerda brushed off a table," as he de scribed it. "Tbe man and woman and their two or three children wore in the house, which was an old French style affair. At that time there was a green bank sloping up from the river toward the house. The house had foundations and walls three feet thick in places. It was about 12 o'clock, and the family were at their dinner, when suddenly tho ice struck the sheet of shoro ice and sent it like a hugh knife up the bank scraping all before it. Before rtie family had limo to escape, the edge of tho knife had struck tho house. It cut clenn away and left not a soul alive of the entire family. Hardly one stono remained upon another, so heavy was the crash of the ice upon the house. One living thing alone escaped—the pet dog of the family, Two cakes of ice had fallen in such a manner as to form a sort of roof over tho dog, and it was found unhurt." A Cool Old Giant. Ono of tho characters of San Luis, Cal., died a short time ago. Ho wai a frontiersman, known over thouiands of square miles of mountain and valley as ' 'Unclo Billy of Josephine." 110 was a grizzled giant, certainly the coolest and strongest man in tho region, and ho kept a saloon for tho quicksilver miners, a postofiico and a store. Ho was a blacksmith, a school trustee, and a few things besides, especially a wheel horse at camp-meetings. Ono night four Mexican miners ia his saloon tried to rob the old man. The door was shut, but he threw til's foremost Mexi can through the panels into tho road, and then, putting his arms about the three others, shoved them en ina<?so through tho splinters and fragments of tho broken door. "Ono or two of them Mexicans stuck their knives into me," said Uncle Billy afterward, "but I never showed I was hurt, and after they wore throwed out they crawled away." In fact, one knifo thrust was clear through his arm; but on tho other hand, lie crippled most of the Mexicans for life. — N. Y. Tribune. Cinderella's Slipper.

Some ono of an inconoclustic turn of mind has been hunting up the origin''of the charming fairy tale, and finds that in reality the slippers which play so important H part were in the original mado of fur, and not of glass. The word used is vair (fur), but some translator or printer carelessly substi tuted for it the similarly sounding word vcrre (glass), and poor little Cin derella's slippers have from that day to this been made of the most uncom fortable material that cculd well be chosen.

M4. The President's Boom. Now that the Stewart mansion is to be come a clubhouse, says * New York paper, it has come out that it contained ope sacred apartment. It was on the second floor, and furnished at a cost of $50,000. There were carpets and furni ture of the most expensive kind, a crys tal chandelier, marble statues and fine paintings. It was fitted up for the use of General Grant, then in the first year of his term as President of the United States. It will be recalled that General Grant sent A. T. Stewart's name to the Senate for Secretary of the Treasury. It was then discovered that the Constitu tion would not permit an adopted citizen to take this place. But Mr. Stewart, ap preciating the President's desire to honor him, became from that moment a warmer friend than ever of General Grant. This room in his palatial mansion was fur nished expressly for the use of the Presi dent. A latchkey to tho mansion and a key to the room were sent to him, with the directions that whenever he wanted to come to New York and have a resting spell this room would be at his disposal. General Grant, in the eight years that he was President, occupied it many times. Where Lobsters Abonnd. The best lobster ground in the world is the northeastern coast of New England, its shoals, bays, inlets and rocks supply ing the lobster to perfection with nil it re quires for feeding and breeding places and protection against its enemies, said a New York fish dealer to a Sun reporter. "Dur ing the ordinary winters that visit the coast of Maine the lobster remains in water as deep as thirty-five fathoms, where he is safe from the effects of the fierce gales that sweep the sea there, and from the dangers of ice floes that grind against the bottom in the shallower water. In warm and fair weather, though, the lob ster is found in water as shallow as three fathoms." How's Thin!
