No man in congress can produce on short notice more dangerous explosives than Representative Hilborn, of Cali fornia, the ranking republican member ' of the house committee on naval af fairs, says the Washington Post. While | discussing the disaster to the Maine in the committee room the other day •Judge Hilborn stated that the only ex plosives in the forward magazine were ">O,OOO pounds of brown powder. "Just remain here for a moment," added the j judge, "and I will show you some of that kind of powder." He hastened to his desk in the hall of representatives and returned in a moment with a small paper package. Unwrapping it, he dis closed several small solid pieces of va rious symmetrical forms. Pointing to an octagonal-shaped piece which had n round hole through the center of it, he said: "That is brown powder, such as was in the forward magazine of the Maine. I will show you how it burns in the fire." There was a scattering of spectators as Judge Hilborn walked boldly to the fireplace for the purpose of consuming the chunk of brown pow der, which burned and sputtered with out making any explosion. Drawing from the inside pocket of his coat a long, thin strip of brownish color, ho announced that it was smokeless pow der, and again advanced to the fireplace, where a spark was rather cautiously ap plied, and the powder allowed to burn on the hearth. Judge Hilborn is well informed on all matters pertaining In Hie navy, and especially about powder, because he has been giving that partic ular attention recently in connection with his committee labors. Many of the counties in Kansas are contributing money in a generous man ner t.o defray the expense of collecting n creditable state exhibit at the Trans- Mississippi exposition. In the western part of the state along the Arkansas val ley, Kinsman, Larned and Great Rend nre preparing exhibits of the resources of tlieir respective counties. Hutch inson and Lyons will make an interest ing display of in various forms, while Sterling will show its corn prod ucts in the natural and manufactured state. A picturesque exhibit will be made by the fruit growers of Leaven worth county, and the lurge packing houses of Wyandotte county will eon tribute a fine display of cured and canned goods as proof of the impor tance of the Sunflower state us a meat producer in connection with the great und growing southwest. "There is one enjoyment that we may all alike enjoy," said the man of mod erate means, "and that is the warmth of returning spring. I can always tell when spring lias really come by seeing somebody standing in front of a build ing, where he is sheltered from the wind, enjoying the sunshine of the first really gentle day after winter. There is a mellowness about it, a broad, great geniality, that is unmistakable, and that we accept with grateful hearts. It pervades us with present comfort and gives us much promise of the future. The glow may last, on the first day, but a little time; it may be chilly before and after. Happy is he who is abroad on this day, and who happens upon a sheltered spot at such an hour as to re ceive it—the sun's first spring greeting to the earth." A Sullivan (Me.) man whose young Ron had had symptoms of Klondike fever offered him the necessary SI,OOO with which to start if he could trans port 2,000 pounds of paving blocks over land to Hardwood llill on the airline road, between February IS and March .'lO, without the aid of horses—giving him the privilege of all the hand sleds lie desired, and three square meals, state-of-Maine and woman-cooked, every day. The young man looked at Hie blocks, then to the east, shook his head, and decided to go to school. A colored deacon, says the. Kansas C ity Journal, was brought before a church committee on a charge of hav ing "pla3'ed the lottery." lie admitted hi-, guilt, and was asked to make a state ment if t.here were any extenuating circumstances, as the brethren didn't wish to be hard on him. Whereupon lie informed them that he was merely trying to get money enough to paint the church. Then he was asked to ret ire, but presently returned to hear the ver dict, which was: "Guilty in a good $1.50 a year is all the Tjjiuuak cost;. :iSA€T.rBS -♦ ♦ *♦ Ja^SP|Lassib@ RACING ON STILTS. A Sport Tlmt In Qnlte Popular Am on ft the French I'ennnntry. ! In certain parts of France stilt-walk ing is a necessary accomplishment. In | the Landes, for example, everybody ! uses them—the postman on his rounds. ; the peasant going to market, the shep | herd tending his flocks, even the little ; children—the nature of the country de- I mauds it. One day a Landais peasant came into Bordeaux on his stilts, and the idea of stilt races came into being. The stilt race of 1892, described by a writer in the Sketch, demonstrated the wonder | fill endurance of these peasants, both ! male and female. i If one takes into consideration the ; great heat that prevailed, the hardness j of the roads, the speed to be maintained if one aspired to win, and the scanty allowance of food, sleep and drink, one cannot but marvel at the hardiness of these people. Out of G9 male start ! ers 32 accomplished the enormous jour ney of 490 kilometers in the fixed time of eight days and a half. Certainly many suffered great fatigue, and some complained of numbness, but none were seriously ill. One or two had at length THE CHAMPION STILT RACER OF FRANCE. to climb down and walk, vanquished by the fierce snn. it is an interesting fact that at first the men's route was simply Bordeaux, Bayonne and back; but the authorities I begged that the course might be ex- i tended to their most beautiful town, particularly as they were just then en tertaining his majesty, King Oscar 11. of Sweden. The first prize winner and the cham pion of all was Pierre Deycard, of Bilos, j Commune of the Girond. He won the | most valuable of the many medals, be- | sides 1,000 francs and a number ofl i minor cash prizes. His time was 103 hours 30 minutes, and his average 4 i kilometers 938 meters an hour, includ- j ing stops. His progress was a ver itable tour de force. He was terribly I anxious to win. IHs short snatches of i sleep were broken by dreams, in which I lie seemed to be buying cows with the prize money and settling down to mar ried life with his sweetheart. At St. Yinceut de Terosse he was followed by musicians who played "La Marseillaise" with so great an effect upon the crowd that one gave him ten francs, another 20, and so on. At Dax he found 300 peo ple waiting for him. He was too fa tigued to notice them, and had to ask his cycling escort to roar at him in or iel* to keep him awake. He even dozed on his stilts, still striding mechanically. Camphorated brandy frictions were tried to get rid of the cramps that threatened him. Young girls came out to meet him with laurel wreaths and bouquets, and everywhere he was hailed like a conquering Roman general. <|ueer I.CR'CIKI of a Itlver. There is a river in Arizona known as flassa-Yampa, which runs for a few miles as a clear and broad stream, and. narrowing suddenly, disappears ; through the sands, only to gush out I again a fenv miles further on and run llong again as placidly as a well-regu lated stream should. The man who {escribed this stream adds that there is i legend connected with this river, to the effect that anyone who ever tastes of its waters can never afterwards tell the truth. This suggests a vague doubt is to I lie truth of this story, although such things have been heard of be fore. Not to Be Impomcri I'poti. It was Willie's first experience in I prayer meeting.

How an Accommodating Hoy Waa He warded by a St rn naer. Jimmy Rrennan, 11 years old, and son of Police Officer Brennan, of Seattle, was standing on Yesler way, when a stranger came along, says the Post-In telligencer of that city. He looked like a man who had just returned from a lo ggnff camp. "Boys," he said, "where's the Butler hotel ?" "I'll tell you for a quarter," said one of Jimmy's companions. "I'll show you where it is for ten cents," chimed in another. "Sav, I'll do it for five cents," re marked a third. "Mister," said Jimmy, "I'll point out the Butler to you for nothing." "You're my man," said the rough looking stranger, and the two went down Yesler way together, while Jim my's companions stayed behind to call him a chump. Jimmie led the stranger to the Butler. "Come in here," said the man, and he led the boy into a clothing store. "Give this boy the best suit of clothes in the house," said the stranger. Jimmy sim ply opened his mouth. Soon he had on a fine suit. "Now give him an overcoat," said the stranger, and Jimmy's eyes tried to pop out of their rockets. The clerk adorned Jimmy with an overcoat. "Now a hat," said the stranger. Jim my wanted to cry. He thought it was Christmas time, and that he was by the side of a grate fire, reading Andersen's fairy tales. Sooh he was arrayed in new lint, new suit, new overcoat. The stranger paid for all. Jimmy started out of the store. He was so bewildered that if several goblins had put in their appearance he would have joined them in their fairy land festivities. "Just a minute," said the stranger. Jimmy waited. If the stronger had said: "Go roll in the dust of the street,'' Jimmy would have done it. The stranger went down in liis pock ets and closed his dealings with Jimmy by giving him a five-dollar gold piece and a gold nugget worth about five dol lars. Then Jimmy thanked the stranger and went off to tell his companions about the man whom he showed the Hotel Butler "for nothing." The stranger was a Klondiker, sup posed to be Patrick Galvin, who re turned on the Rosalie, with a fortune estimated at about $20,000. It pnys to be polite. If you don't think so, ask Jimmy Brennan. TAPPING DATE PALMS. How (lie Operation In Performed hj the Uenjtaleae. We nre indebted for this photograph to the Baptist Missionary society. It was taken in Bengal, where a great quantity of juice is extracted from the date palms, for making sugar and vari ous kinds of sweetmeats, of which the TAPPING A DATE 'PALM. natives are fery fond. In the flower ing season, when the sap is abundant, the leaves on one side of the tree are cut off, and the rind pared down to the woody fiber. Notches are then cut and a peg inserted, so that the juice may be conducted into the calabash sus pended below. Curiously, the juice runs more freely at night, that which exudes during the day being allowed to run waste as being of little value. Where there nre a great number of trees being tapped, watch is kept all night for fear of thieves and poachers, who wait their opportunity and climb the trees very early in the morning to steal | the juice.—-Strand Magazine. He Wan Too Economical. Sometimes it does not pay to be economical. A farmer near Ilubbarcf, Neb., purchased 45 head of cattle und started to drive them home. He was cautioned to not drive them across the ice on the river, as it was considered un i safe, and he was directed to the bridge. But he calculated that the tolls would i amount to $4.50 at ten cents a head, and made up his mind to save that amount. So he drove them on the ice, not in a string, but all in a bunch, and soon there was a crash and the cattle broke through. Fortunately n number of ! cowboys from the stock yards had fol lowed him, anticipating such an acci dent; and, with ropes, they saved 32 of the herd. The 13 that were drowned were the most valuable animals, and I the total loss was more than S3OO. lie will patronize the bridge for the rest of bis life. i K • V..,* STEER'S STRANGE DEATH. His Horns (iron Tltrnnrrl) Ills Ky nml Killed film. A squatter in the buck woods of Ne< South Wales had a young steer wit horns so perfectly turned that the formed two artistic loops at the side < his head. One day "Boss*'strayed witi a mob of store cattle into a piece o: wild country infested only by kanga roos and the out-station boundary rid ers' families. These cattle are rounded up and oth erwise handled but once a year. Before this annual yarding took place "Boss" had become a fractious terror to every animal and man in that range. He had terrified and scattered the herd that were once his mates; he had charged madly every kind of person who was wont to pat him. Because his horns curled like those of a sheep he was called "Sheep Head." His mild, tractable nature add ed to this delusion of likening him to a lamb. Six months after his entrance upon the range he began tooct strange ly. A wild look shot out of his eye un der the points of the ingrowing horns, whose shadow fell heavier and heavier upon the retina. He constantly shook his head, as if trying to rid himself of some annoyance. Then "Boss" would stand and stare at the points which were pressing the pupils nearly up against the sockets. He became more irritable STEER'S" STRANGE DEATH. and unfriendly. He reared, stamped, shook his crazed head and stared at the creeping things before his vision. At last "Boss" went mad and bel lowed through the night like an en raged demon. He chased everything in sight, and viciously dashed him self against the forest trees. The mere tramp of a foot angered him. The points of the horns were cruelly pressing against his helpless eyes, back in their sockets, and every jar upon the ground tortured his brain itnd enraged him. "Boss" had j scattered the rnob of his ruminating mates and had so terrorized the few people about that fences did not give a sense of security. Women and chil- | dren lived in mortal dread of the un fortunate beast. At length his maddened roar was heard no more. About a month after that the out-boundary rider went out. with dogs and a Winchester rifle to end the suffering of "Sheephead Boss." After searching for two days the bul lock was found. "Boss" wn.s dead. He was lying under u clump of acacia, less sweet than their blossoms. He had evi dently been dead for a week or more, and had been blind for months. The horns had grown into the eyes and al most touched the hone of the skull be hind. The head of the poor beast was as strange an object as ever was seen. The horns of "Boss" were never curved by any art. They grew as nature directed t.heir fatal tips, and, unless sent to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Kngland, the preserved head still hangs upon the door of the Bar ling out station, where "Boss" lived and died.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Babley—Babley is the editor of the Locust Daily Hummer, and I had run down to Lo cust to spend a day or two—"why don't you write up Mrs. Husky?" "Who or what is Mrs. Hasky?" "Mrs. Hasky is an institution of thi* •own —or, rather, just outside of it. Go and see her. She will give you something to write about. I don't know what it will be, but it'll be something. By the way, a leg acy has just been left to her; will give you an excuse for calling. And you may be sure your call will be interesting, and that you will have something interesting to write about when you return. I believe that every newspaper man in this town, especial ly the older ones, has interviewed Mrs. Husky, and they always have a story when the call is over. She is an interesting char acter, and especially so to the space writers when all other subjects fail them. It is your turn now, and don't forget to make her recently received legacy your excuse for call ing. I want to see what she will say on that subject, and if it will gain you an audience." It did. I found Mrs. Hasky on her knees in her little front garden, potting plants in the soft black loam. She pushed a green checked sunbonnet back from her face and looked up, redly and perspiringly, as I drew near. Her dress was neat, hut a bit odd. bhe looked to be somewhere past 50, but the loss of a husband had, judging from her ap pearunee, brought her but few tears, for while her years might have been easily guessed it was not a premature age that she showed. Before she hud spoken a word I realized that my friend Babley was right, and that Mrs. Hasky was a character worthy the interviewer's best efforts. "Is your name Mrs. Hasky?" I inquired, after a propitiatory bow. "Yes, my name is Mrs. Hasky." The tone of her reply seemed to add: "And that is what it will continue to be," while she proceeded to stare at me steadily. As she gave no sign of rising from her lowly posture I felt rather at a loss as to what to do or say next. I began to fear that my ability as an interviewer was to lie sorely tested before I had succeeded in my mission to the home of Mrs. Hasky. She was evidently waiting for something more irom me, and if I was to get a story from this interesting character I must pull my self together and begin. "I called—to—to—see you—" I began, hes itatingly. "I dare say," she interrupted, with promptness. "I did not suppose ye called to see the gate post." "But, as you seem so busy, perhaps I had better come another time." "Well, ye Avon't," she rejoined, getting on her feet with an alacrity that caused me to retreat a step or tAVo; it Avas so unexpected in one of her age and stout proportions. "Ye'll jest trot along to the vernndy an' git through. There!" She pulled fonvard tAvo chairs, placing them Avith a thump facing each other, and sat doAvn in one. I took the other and held my hat by the brim. I Avas only young in the neAvspaper business then and had never had a great amount of experience at inter vicAving. I Avas sure, however, that Mrs. Hasky AVOUUI have proven a match for the oldest and wisest of the profession. "Mr. Babley said 1 might use hits name." I handsd her my card. "Mr. Clarence Winham," she repeated, slowly, putting on her glasses and eyeing me over from head to foot. "Why, I don't be lieve ye're 25 years old! Be ye?" "I am 27." Mrs. Husky laughed, but not mirthfully. "Bore infant! And I'm 57." "Thank you fojj telling me," I said, grate fully (the doors Avere beginning to open of themselves). "In fact, I came to ask you—" "Oh, I knoAV what ye came to ask me; but I thought it might stop ye to know my age." "On the contrary," I said, jocosely, "that quite encourages me." "What? Ye're allow-in' I can't live very long? Don't make no sceh mistake as that, young feller! My fambly ain't never-died till they wuz 80 — not one of 'em." "I atn sure I hope you may live to be a hundred," I answered, gallantly. "Ah- Mr. Babley mentioned that you had received a legacy lately, and I have called —" " 'Tain't one mite of use," said Mrs. Han ky, determinedly. "Ye're the tifth what's come around a'ready. It's too redeck'lous!" "Why," I reassured her, smilingly, "I'm not a life insurance agent. Did you think 1 "1 don't keer wither ye air or not. There might 'a' bin some sense in the others— mostly widders, and older'n I be —but secli a kid! Don't ye suppose 1 know ye're after my money. Sho'!" "After your money!" I exclaimed, rising indignantly. What do you mean ?" "Wal, fer certain sure, ye don't expect me to believe ye're after my beauty? An' it wouldn't make no difference if ye wuz. J ain't goin' to marry no one at present. Tell Babley that, will ye?" "My dear madam—" "No use—not a bit!" She shook her head firmly. "I bin a widder 15 years, an' I ain't had but one offer, an' that wuz from a deef and dumb man, till this legacy come, an' there wuz five in three weeks. Course I'm sorry to disapp'int ye—or any of ye, but— so 'tis." "Why, my good woman, you are entirely mistaken in my intention—" "Excuse me; no mistake at all! Do ye mean to tell me that anything under the can'py would 'a' fetched ye here if ye hadn't heerd of that money ef mine? But I ain't sech a fool as I look, nor nothin' like the fool I'd look an' be if 1 married je." She also rose. "Mrs. Hasky, you must allow me to speak a word. 1 am a reporter for a New York paper—" "That settles it! Ye ain't no sort of a responsible person for a husband, even if ye wasn't young and silly. I wouldn't Lev ye —not fer—" But 1 interrupted her in turn. "I wish to be anyone's husband," I said, warm ly; "my intention was merely to write a sketch of you, as being the recipient of un expected good fortune—" "That's all right; ye kin call it sketch or anything ye like, but I know what fetched ye here, an', as I said first off, it ain't one mite of use. I ain't no idee of marryin', an', it 1 lied, ye lost your chanst w'en ye tole me ye wuz anyway connected with noosepupcrs! Llood mornin'." With that she got up and walked baek to the garden, leaving me on the veranda, about the maddest newspaper man anyone had ever seen. I wanted to continue my explanations, but felt that it was useless to follow her, and equally as useless to say anything more if 1 did. f was so mad that it was some time before I had sense enough to leave. hen I went back to Babley, nngr.v and disgusted, and related the result of the in terview, lie made me realize at once the dif ference between an old reporter and a young one. He shook my hand warmly. "Didn't I tell you you'd get a character sketch?" lie said.—Madeline S. Bridges, in Woman's Uaus.
