Tin: providential light is approaching tho
point whero the statistical mortality is al
ways something dreadful to contemplate.
What a great and glorious country this
will be when every voter has settled tho
financial question to his complete satisfaction
JrilKoIUui) Jhat is keeking tho man theso
days is so snia.l that tho man doesn't know
it when ho meets it in the middle of the
road.
TltK hay crop th' year is likely to be a
short one owing to too dryness of tho past
month which it is to b. hoped will soon bo
broken by u good spoil of ,.-'n which is badly
needed.
"Tin: world runs awheels" is a phra'o
found in one of lien Jensen's plays. Tlicie
were no bicycles in the old dramatist's day,
but of coiuo there wore I'opulisti,, though
they went by some other name.
Tm: Chicago ice companies hao combined
nuil raked pricos on that uuiversil victim of
man's cupidity, "the .small cunsuincr." Tho
Mnall consumer teems to be decidedly tho
under dog in modern commercial warfaie.
ItJs probably true that the life of liesi
deut li.irfield would have been saved If tho
Roentgen rays had been known in lfcbl. No
dilliculty now is found in locating a bullet
distinctly in the deepest icce.cs of tho body.
Tin: man with an elepl.tut on his hands is
in 1'oltBVillo to-day. The u..ly. dillcienco
between the dials elephant and tui news
paper elephant is tho fact that' tho former

ance', while tho latter will it ma in.
Tin: sending of a message mound tho
world in flity minutes by Dr. Pcpoiv, at tho
national electrical exhibition at Nuiv Ymk
.Saturday, was a great achievement. Klci
triclty baa made great strides in tho past Jilty
years, and no one can foresee its future in

Canada is an exception to other llrithh
colonics in not being exempt Hum tho law
forbidding tho marriage, of u man with his
decoa'-ed wife's sister. Tho Canadians aio
asking to bo relieved from this remarkable
restriction, but tho House of Louis will stand
by its pet absurdity.
THE bicycle face and tho bicycle curvatuio
of the spine having ceased to alarm, the new
indictment against the wheel is that it makes
Icminine riders pigeon-toed. Tho truth
probably is that tho bicycle, indulged in
moderation is more likely to cine pedal
peculiarities than to cause them.
Tiiiuu; is not one man in a hundred that
would think of carrying as much as ten
dollars in silver in his pocket. There is not
one man in a thousand who, on pioscnting
a check for fifty or bundled dollars at a bank,
would thank the banker fur handing him out
silver dollars fur the whole amount of it.
On tho contrary ho would take such action as
almost an anient anil would insist on paper
or gold as mine convenient. And yet theio
are some peoplo who seem to imagine that
silver is being actually discriminated against
by tho gold-bug couspiratoiB. Theio is no
Jack of silver dollars to-day fur auy man who
prefers that form of currency.
U.UN is sadly needed. The earth is badly
p itched, and grass, grain and fruit are sull'er
ing fur the want of tho life-giving showers.
Strawberries will bo ruined if tho dry spell
e iiitinuos much longer. Tho peach, apple
and cherry trues are shelling their embryonic
fruit in cuuntW thousands, and a week or
so mora of thU hot, dry weather will seal the
doom of what promised, to bo a great fruit
year. Mountain flies are again doing de
struction to our woodland. Bover.il towns iu
the lumber country havu been Imperiled by
the raging Area that aro sweeping the moun
tain sides an witli tho boson of destruction.
A continuance of tho present dry spell for a
few days more will menu untold Iom to the
farmers of the Cutawiawi valley.
VACATION SCHOOLS.
More and muro It is found to be uuwUound
unsafe, says tho Carboudalo Loader, in our
towns and cities to let tho children urn looso
and untamed lu the streets during tho long
summer vacation. To remedy the evil
hchuohj of vurious kinds, witli instruction
dill'erent from tho children's regular studies,
have bcon established in some of the cities
und with great suceess. Tho lolicf to the
ehildreu's jarents, to the fanneis, gardeners
and country dwellers adjoining the towns iu
which these children live and have their le

When within 200 yards of tho mill Stoegner
asked Thrash whether ho over saw a powder
mill explode, ho leplled in tho negative, and
no sooner had ho uttered the words, when
the engineer of tho mill, who was on tho
second lloor, appeared at the window and
shouted : Lookout, boys, there sho goes,
Hid a second later thcro was an explosion,
scattering tho debris right and left and
filling tho air with smoke. I lie engineer
scaped by dropping out of tho window to

bruises Tills is the second oxplosion of this
