Apart from the (lunger of explosions, which, by the way, are less frequent than Is generally supposed, gunpowder mills are exceedingly healthful places. Such a thing as a workman dylDg of consumption is unheard of, the expla nation being that the constant brenth ing Into the lungs of dust Is beneficial to them. Even horses employed In gun powder mills arc found to be fatter and sleeker than their fellows from the same stable, worked elsewhere. As to the death rate In potvder mills, the popular Ideas are much exaggerated, the average freight yard being vastly more fatal than they. Statistics show that from the beginning of this cen tury, when the Dupont powder mills were established, up to the present year, there has been an average of not quite oue death a year from acci dents or explosions. As among the employers, so among the men. Fear Is almost unknown, the black-faced fellows shoveling the gun powder about as If it were coal, and walking through It knee-deep, as they would through So much (lour.

HOW POLLY AND I MADE UP OLLY nucl I had u I been quarrolling and we were both feeling rather blue and sorry about it, although both wore 1 equaHy determined I I not to make the first advances to — wards "making up," and, as I wns saying, wo were both regretting tho quarrel not a little. Not that tho more fact of our quar relling was at all surprising or unu sual. We were always quarrelling. We quarrelled aud difl'ered with such frequency and ease that our wiso friends were in the habit of advising us constantly aud regularly to part before our wedding day made this course of action impossible or incon venient. But this quarrel had been an exceptional one in several ways. To begin with, I usually quarrelled with Polly. This time sho had quar relled with mo. Next, I generally be gan by pulling some of Polly's admir ers to pieces; to-day she begun by scolding about on old flame cf mine. And, ns a culmination, I regularly got the better of even Polly's quick tongue and sharp wits and secured tho last word for myself, but Ihis timo Polly had delivered the final blow with such crushing effect that I was completely silenced and could do nothing but sit boring iny cano into the gravel path aud biting my mustache. Wo were at tho park and Polly sat on one end of tho painted iron seat, her head thrown l>aek in tho Gibaou girl fashion sho never affects save when sho is very angty, nn unwonted oolor in her dainty oval cheek and a danger ous brightness in her large gray eyes, whieli were apparently studying the cloud formations in tho blue sky above. Her little foot, clad in its dainty, narrow tood shoes, was tap ping tho ground impatiently, aud she was humming a little tune all out of tune with the beating of her foot. I knew that that tune was only being indulged in to keep herself from cry ing, and I was rather glad that ahe couldn't make her voice steady enough to hum "Cornin'Through tho llyo." I knew she wanted to do eo, because that is the tune I especially dislike, but, as I said, she couldn't do it just then, and I wns rather glad. So she went on humming a hymn tune, and her voice kept Blinking moro and more when she came to the high notes. Now she had just told me that she hated me, and I augured the contrnrv from tho fact that sho was so near to tears, so I coughed apologetically and drew a shade nearer to her. After all, she was eo clearly wrong that I could afford to bo generous and speak first. So presently I coughed again and moved up a little more. Then, as she did appear to be conscious of my ex istence, I coughed once more, cleared my throat and remarked : "Polly." She made no answer, did not even turn her head, but I observod that her nostril was iuflatod dangerously, pre cisely like that ola well bred horse wheu much excited, nud I knew that she was moro angry nud nearer to cry ing than ever. So my heart was glad and I said again: "Polly." This time she tossed her hoad the least in the world, so I ventured to take her baud as I said : "Polly, won't you say you're sorry for what you said ?" She caught her hand away from mino with a pretty air of detestation and burst forlh; "3ay I'm sorry that I said Maria Jones was setting her cap for you again? No, I won't; Pin glad I said it." (Terrible emphasis upon the "glad.") Now, X hadn't meant what sho said about Marin, but about bating tue, but Maria is a good girl nud iny friend, so I took up the cudgels iu her dofence. "That's a very unladylike remark," I said hotly, "aud—" "It is perfectly true," interrupted Polly, more angrily than before; "1 don't care that," snapping her pretty gloved fingers, "about whether it's unladylike or not. I'll say it again. She is setting liet; cap at you." Sho was white with auger now. and, seeing this, 1 grew cold, aud thus had hor at a disadvantage. Long exper ience of quarrels with Polly had taught me this, aud I was base enough to be glad she was so angry. An angry woman oan never argue to good ett'oct. So now 1 whistled soltly the tune she spocially detested, and waited a mo mont before 1 spoke. Then I said, quietly, but provok ingly; "Poor Maria. It's 'no use her setting her cap at me now.". This shot had precisely the effect 1 expected. Polly's eyes fairly blazed as she turned to me, her previous re marks having been direotod to the sky, and declared in an unsteady voice: "You needn't say that. I don't care whether she has you or not; I wouldn't marry yon myself at any price. You're perfectly l'reo from me." She turned her head back again quickly, but not so quiokly that I did not soe the two tears which hung on her eyelashes. X'olly has such long, pretty, curling eyelashes. She began to pull madly at her loft glove. I know fibe wanted to throw my ring at me, but her hand was warm aud the glove well fitting, EO she couldn't get it off before I had opened fire again." "Maria," I said, meditatively, to tho grass or tho trees, or something equally impersonal, "Maria is proud. She would not allow a man to pay her attentions while people still con nected his namo with that of another girl." Polly was fairly raging. At the timo she and I had becomo cugagod her people had a great deal to say about my "outrageous flirtation" with Maria Jones, and I had been obliged to do a great deal of persuading iu or der to convince Polly that I had meant nothing serious. Now, as I said, sho was fairly raging at this mention of her tender point, nnd she hissed out, whirling around iu her seat: "Well, she can't allow'you to pay hor attentions for some timo to come. Besides —" But here I interrupted her in my turn; those tears wero rolling down her cbeclis now, and I thought this second quarrel had gone far enough; besides, 1 dinil't want her to say any thing moro about having seen me wnlking with Maria while I waited for her, carrying the obnoxious parasol which had prevonted Polly from rec ognizing its, and thus aroused her wrath. So I broke iu : "I don't want to pay her atten tions, you see. I'd rather pay thjm to you." "Well, you will never havo the chance to do so again," she snapped, pretending to wipe the dust from her face, but really stopping those tears from falling, "you shall never do the least thiug for me again." "Not even carry your parasol?" I asked, softly, and she grew angry aguiu. "Go and carry Maria's parasol!" she ejaculated, angrily; "she'll be glad cuotigh to have you, aud I cau always find somo one who wants to wait on me." This was true enough, as wo both knew. She had me theio. Somo oue! Yes, indeed, plouty of them! This reflection soberod mo a little (iu the joy of getting tho best of the quarrel I was rather losing my hettd), and I said again, softly: "But I want to do things for you, Polly." "Well, you never will again," sho said, and now the tears were iu her voioo as well ns her eyes. "You shall never do anything for mo again." Sho spoke more sadly than augrily now, and I felt a little sad myself. "Never, Polly?" I remarked, gent ly, noticing meanwhile that she was no longer struggling with her glove. "Never, Polly? Shall I never bring you flowers any moro aud never carry your gloves while yon piu tho flowers at your waist? Shall I never tio your veil for you after wo havo been at the lake together? Shall I never turn over the music whilo you siug me 'Sweetheart?' " This was tho song wo both laved, and the mention affected Polly visibly. So I went on : "And shall I never laee your glovos for you wbou wo are go ing to a party and wrap your laee scarf closer around your head and throat wheu wo are coming back, nud put ou your rubbers—and—and kiss you, Polly ?" There were tears iu my own eyes now, and Polly had given up all at tempts at concealment and was sobbing miserably. I laid my hand ou hers; she did not draw her own away. I gently sqneezed her fingers; she did tho same, more faintly, to mine. Then I took courago and leaued over to her, sliding along- the seat in order to roach her, aad put my arm around her. "Polly," I said, possessing myself of her cobweb of a handkerchief, and wiping away tho tears which wore making her eyes red. "Polly, let's make up." "And will you say you're sorry?" she whisperod, burrowing her face into my coatsleeve, and I answered very quickly: "Yes," I said. "I'll say I'm sorry if you will, Polly." So neither of usaotually said it and ten miuutes later, wheu we wero sen sible again, the young lady remarked in a breath of fervor: "Let's never quarrel any more. I'm sure," virtu ously, "I never waut to quarrel with you." "Not even when you talk of poor Maria setting her cap ior me?" I in quired iunooeutly, aud wo very near ly quarreled afrosh. "llow unkind you ore !" 8110 said, nearly crying again, "to Itoop bring ing that up wheu it's roally tho first timo I ever started a quarrel!" Thou a bright idea came to mo and I said softly : "Polly." "Well," she Haid, a littlo un graciously nud without turning her head (we wero walking now and she was a step or so in advonoe). "what is it?" I stopped quickly up to her and caught her hand. "Polly," I said again, "there's only oue way for us to keep from quarreling and that's to got inarriod right away. Thou wo couldn't twit one another about our old Haines. Now, I personally dou't caro a fig about Maria Joues." And then we came upou Maria face to faeo iu tho narrow path, and sho must have heard what I said by the queer, triumphant gleam in her eyes. Polly greeted her effusively and after the greetings wero over Maria remarked: "I thought I heard my name mentioned just as I turned the corner." And sho looked searohingly from one to the other of us. "Polly looked at me, so I began lamely: "You—er—you did. You see, my dear Marin" (Polly flashed a lightning glance at me and I hastily corrected myself), "my /loar Miss] Jones, Polly was just saying how much , she wanted to see you agaiu." Maria evidently did not believe a ' word of my speech, but sho said sweet- \ ly : "Oh, how nice of yon, Polly 1 I'm ; sure I'm glad to see you, too. What's the matter with your eyes, dear? j They re so red, have you been crying? 1 hope," with a stem, sharp glance at me and a smile flickering about tho corners of her mouth, "that you have not been vexing her." "Oh, no, indeed," said Polly quick ly and mendaciously. "I—l got a gnat iu my right eye and it hurt so that tho other ono got red out of sym pathy, I suppose." Sho blushed as sho said this and looked so pretty that I forgave her the fib on tho spot, although I hate falsity in a woman and have often told Polly so when sha has told pretty little "white lios" and defended them ou tho ground that they aro necessary to the good of society ; in fact, wo have quarrellod about that very point sev eral times. "Oh, really," said Maria, "how peculiar 1 And I supposo your nose is red out of sympathy, too? Well, good-by, dear, I really must go. I promised to meet Arthur Stornbook hero an hour ago and thou I met you," with a pretty glance at mo and a mali cious ono for Polly, "and I forgot all about it. You have no idea," looking full at Polly now, "what a pleasant time wo had talking over our old friendship beforo you cauio into tho park." "I know," said poor Polly, bravely, although her dear little lips wore quiv ering, "I saw you long before you saw me." "Oh, no, dear," answered that liato ful girl Maria, sweetly but positively, "that couldn't hnvo been, for we saw you como through the gates and your face said—Well, I rcnlly must go. Good-by, good-by," aud she walked off towards Arthur Sternbrook, who was just dawdling lazily towards us. "So sho really was going to meet him," said Polly, incredulously, "and sho didn't just make that an excuse for her flirtation with you." "Flirtation, dear," I began, "can you really think that I would flirt witli suoh a gill as Maria Jones"--(I was really angry with Maria for hav ing behaved so meanly)—"after know ing you, darling?" Polly suiffod and I had a bad quarter of an hour with licr. You soe, I had so little to cay, thero was so little I could say after Maria had takou tho wind out of my sails in that unfeeling fashion. But presently wo came upon Maria and Arthur, and they were walking very far apart aud Arthur looked ex tremely angry about something. Then Polly smiled wickedly and re lented a little, but when, an hour or so later, I left her at her own door, she said, decidedly : "I'm so glad I said that about Maria Jones, dear; she was settiug her cap for you!" And this time 1 made no answer whatever.—Chicago News. Flowers in the I'lliliopines. Nearly every traveler in tho Philip pines finds much interest in the pro digious growth of flowers. There arc over thirty varieties of orchids in the forests, aud dozens of lilies of mam moth proportions that are never seen outside of the tropics. The Malapo lily is the largest. Its loaves are ofteu six feet long and two feet wide, while its stems aro three inches in diameter. It is in bloom five months in tho year, and its blossoms are us large as a peck measure. Caruationsgrow in phenom enal variety all over tho rural dis tricts and frequently covor an aero or mere, while geraniums, whose luxu riance excites exclamations of surprise from nearly every beholder for tho , first time, grow like trees and great clumps of bushes. Geraniums that have grown up the trunk and along the limbs of imuieuso forest tiees aro to bo seen frequently. The lazy, in different natives seldom touch them, and they grow on and on for yoars. Along tho rural roads there are every where wild poppies of tho most deli cate yellow flowers aud large eteniP. From the trees in tho forest thero aro hundrods of vinos and parasites of tho most brilliant blossoms, and in tho spring soasou tho air all over tho sev eral islands ia for a time fairly hoavy with floral fragrance. Both the Tagals and tho Bocals liuvo no tasto for tho superb flora of tho Philippines, an<> one seldom sees any kind of a flower or vino cultivated at the home of a native. Tho tropical luxuriance some times causes a beautiful wild gerani um or a species of chrysanthemum to spring up at tho Hido of a bamboo Lome, and, because the natives are too lazy to do what is not absolutely necessary to comfort or life, it will not bo torn up or molostod. —New York Times.

Best Preventive of Disease of All j Kinds—'Toughens the Body. We best arm ourselves ng.iiust all cold diseases by availing ourselves of j every measure which will tend to "toughen" us. Whoever does not do this, will, the farther the winter ad vances, become always weaker from lack of exercise and always less ablo to resist. Then soon become establish ed such unwelcome guests us rheuraa- ! tisiu, Influenza, diphtheria and lung ! fever. Both the latter linda favorable ' footing In the respiratory organs de- 1 bllitated by catarrh. Should the cold ; spell be but short and mild, and often j Interrupted by sunny days, only the j weakest persons suffer. But If the i winter is very raw and long, even j strong constitutions fall a direct prey j to diseases, or their bodies, usually ! their entire organism, are so unfavora bly affected that they how have weak ened constitutions disposed to diseases. This is why the various lung troubles, especially inflammation of the lungs, reach their culmination toward the end . of winter. Daily exercise In the fresh air, under changing conditions of the j weather, and at all times of year, is a means of resisting the evil influences of the weather. This method of pre vention and cure (prophylaxis and ther apeutics) is made use of in the so called climatic watering places. But ! even at home we may accustom our skin to quickly changing conditions of weather by accustoming it to quickly changing temperatures. This is done I by warm baths with a cold shower j afterwards, which Is followed by a strong muscular movement that gives j a reaction to warmth again. Thereby ; not only are the nerves stimulated to ! quick action in thus regulating the | heat of the body, but also all the rest of the nervous system Is strengthened and hardened, and with resistance against other depressing and sickening influences, against ennui and morbid ness. Whoever battles valiantly against unhealthful weather, can be come his own master and can even secure for himself vital strength and the enjoyment of health.—-Chautau quan. Missouri's old Soldiers. Missouri is a great country for sol diers. During tlie great civil war it I would appear that almost the entire i male population of sufficient age was i called on to bear arms. Between the ! Union and Confederate forces there 1 was, as Phil Kearny phrased It, "love- ; ly lighting along the whole line." There I was no community that did not ex perience the sights and sounds, the ex- I citements and alarms of war. After ; hostilities had ceased the military ele- j ment was largely reinforced from be- j yond the Mississippi. In those days ! Missouri was considered a new country I and was sought by Immigrants. Cer- j tain portions of the State were counted as "homestead country." The disband ed soldiers of both armies came to Mis souri. This gave us a great martial population.—Kausas City Star.

Subsequently ho engaged in oil production at Oil City and other places in the upper oil country, and later returned to his ancestral 1 home to care for the declining ago of his par- I ents, and to manage the farm, on a part of which he now lives. Ills cosy home is now j embraced within the suburbs of the village, and is surrounded by a largo number of resi dences of the prosperous merchants and manufacturers of the town, which has grown out to and embraces a part of the farm upon which his father lived for a long period of y are. It was while sitting in his comfortable i homo, looking out ovor the valley ami the landscape which charms the spectator, as | soon from his door, that Mr. DulT told tho j writer of his experiences as a soldier, ami , the results of the wounds which he received I while wearing tho uniform of his country. I "The wound received on tho luiek of my I head," said he. "lias troubled me ever since it was inflicted, more or less, but in the past I three years much more than formerly. " At ! various times 1 was affected with nervous ! twitehiugs and involuntary movements of | tho muscles of my face aud limbs that I was j alarmed lest it should terminate with par | alysis. I consulted various doctors, tried a I number of medicines which friends recom mended, but derived nd benefit until a nephew brought me some of the Pink Tills for Pale People. He had heard of somo re markable bone.lts conferred by this remedy on various ones whom 110 know, and prom ised to bring mo some, which he did very soon after his visit at which he first men tionod them. 1 took them as directed on the box, and confess that I did so more to please I my nephew than with any expectation that j they would do me any good. I was most | agreeably surprised, however, after I had been taking them for a few days, to notico | that my nervous twitehiugs and involuntary muscular movements were pronouucedly j less noticeable, and thai 1 felt bolter in every I way. My appetite, which had been eupri- I cious ami Illful, beg in to improve, and foods ! of which I aiu very fond, but which for a ■ long time I was obliged to deny myself, I caused mo no discomfort, and I began to got strong and robust. I experienced such good I results from this remedy that I continued I taking it until I felt myself no longer in need lof it. After taking the Pink Pills for per i liaps four mouths, as directed, I have never w j had a sign or symptom of return of the malady which worried me for years. To-day ! I am as robust as a man of my age can ex pect to bo, especially after having endured the exposure nnd rigors incidental to the life of a soldier. 1 attribute my cure to tho Pink Pills for PaloFeople, and think them a most wonderful remedy for building up peo ple who aro run down physically ami men tally. They seem to Impart strength and lone to the whole system, noting blandly and beneficently on body nnd br&in. At least Hint has boon my experience, and to those whoso disorders are of a nervous nature, I should thing they could got nothing better thuu the Pink Pills. In my own case, I know that they relieved me of pains which racked me all over, and dissipated nausea aud pains in the stomach which made life miserable, i and tho pleasures of the table, which to me ! | Is a great pleasure, something only to bo re i ; membered, not to bo enjoyed. It is different r j now. however. My appetite is just as keen and I relish food ns well as I ever did, aud I that Is saying not a little." Mr. Duff said it hasten several months since he has taken any medicine, and he thinks he has no need for any. lie said he ; would take the Pink Pills if he felt the need i of any medicine, but he is persuaded that , I when peoplodonot need medicine it should i lei alone.
