where is sand—sand in beaches, hil-
locks, ridges, and hills—and out of
these drifting, shifting heaps rises
smoke from the stacks of one of the
largest plants in the country devoted
to the manufacture of dynamite.
It is a plague spot to those who look
upon it from afar, but to those whose
duty takes them into mixing houses,
nitrators, acid works, packhouses and
magazines in the plant of nearly five
hundred acres it is a place where
wages are good, where employment
Is steady, and where—even through
the atmosphere of unceasing watch-
fulness and care—the spirit of gossip
and laughter and song may find its
vent.
But watchfulness and care on the
part of men have not sufficed to re-
assure the builders of such a plant
for profit. Each building is separated
from the others by wide spaces, in
which sand embankments have been
heaped as a further precaution against
a possible explosion in one building
communicating itself to another. Sev-
eral tramway lines connect these
structures, however, making the wide
distances of small consequence in the
matter of time. The whole plant is
heated by steam and lighted by elec-
tricity, thus minimizing the dangers
of fire, and, with these general precau-
tions the studied carefulness of em-
ployes in every department of the
work is the price of safety in this
ever-menacing occupation of dyna-
mite making.
As might readily be conceived, the
machinery adapted to the manufac-
ture of dynamite, nitroglycerine is per-
fection. It has grown by steps almost
as cautious as those by which the
chemist has come to a knowledge of
what will happen when he mixes two
substances in a mortar. In the early
days of chemistry the stroke of a pes-
tle in a mortar has sent a laboratory
up in smoke or blown it to fragments
for idle winds. Today a chamical
laboratory is a good fire risk, and the
time may come when even a factory
making dynamite will be allowed a
gite in a city block. That time has
not yet come, however.
Nobel discovered dynamite in 1867—
a discovery, however, which simply
made nitro-glycerine portable with
comparative safety ad capable of
being exploded in a dry state. A box
of dynamite may be thrown from any
height or may sustain a violent shock
without explosion. It is much safer
than gunpowder when all possible

Later it was found that yieselquhr,

ties of the liquid and holds it against

ever, it regaing its full force. In
small quantities it may be burned

Pioneer Street Bootblacks.
“The first public street bootblack
that I ever saw worked on lower
Broadway in New York city in 1857,”
explained a Pension Office clerk. “I
resided in New York city at that time
and knew the .boy well. His name
was Reddy Walsh. He generally was
to be found near the Astor House.
All of the hotels had a staff of boot-
blacks then much larger than they do
now, for muddy or very muddy
streets in New York are things of the
past. There was plenty of work for
them, however. Reddy was a charac-
ter in his way, but it was not long
before hé had opposition, and inside
of a year there were hundreds of
street ‘bootblacks in downtown New
York.
“l came to Washington with the
Seventh New York Regiment at the
breaking out of the Civil War, early
in 1861, and with the regiment came
two or three of these bootblacks.
They were packed into the baggage
cars and came as baggage. The boys
remained here, and as soon as the
men in our regiment learned that it
was the proper thing for the soldiers
to look after their own boots, for
shoes were not much worn then, the
bootblacks drifted away from the regi-
ment and went to work on the streets.
They made their headquarters gener-
ally near the old Willard. They
were, I understand, the first street
bootblacks ever seen on the streets
of Washington. As there was more
mud than anything else on the streets
then, it was not long before they had
hundreds of followers. At one time
during the war fifty bootblacks could
be seen on the avenue in a distance of
four or five blocks.”—Washington
Star.
A Modern Street Sprinkler.
The most up-to-date thing in the
way of street spricklers is in use on
the streets of Colorado Springs, Col.
Here there is ne:essitv for sprinkling
the streets all the year round, and as
the avenues are all unusually wide
the proposition has always been a dif-
ficult one and a matter of serious ex-
pense. Ln electrical sprinkler has
been recently put to work and its per-
formances seem marvelous as com-
pared with the machines which are

pressible, was the best agent for this |

more or less familiar to all. The use
of the arm on one side of the ma-
chine is dispensed with entirely and
the water is thrown from both sides
at one fime, and by the use of an elec-
trical sprayer it is not only broken
up into very fine particles but is
thrown a great distance. The tank
capacity is 2,600 gallons, and the ve-
hicle is propelled by two 60 horse: |
power motors. The sprinkling heads '
are in the centre of the car on each
side, and the water is forced from
these by two individual force pumps
operated by a 30 horse power motor
and a street 120 feet wide can be wat-
ered from curb to curb. The amount
of water thrown and the distance is
under complete control at all times.—

HINTS FOR LITERARY PEOPLE.
Ex-
A German Publisher's Rather
pressive Views,
The Author, of London, publishes
the following “literary hints for the
wealthy and cultivated,” which, it
says, were taken from a German pub-
lisher’s advertisements:
A gentleman does not give his
daughter a dowry of from five to fifty
thousand pounds and forget to pro-
vide her with a bookcase.
A gentleman does not have a full
wine cellar and empty book shelves.
A gentleman does not use eau-de-
cologne and read greasy volumes from
a circulating library.
A gentleman does not borrow good
works which he is in a position to
buy.
A gentleman does not talk about the
latest literature when he is acquainted
only with what has been said of it
by the reviewers.
A gentleman does not cut books
with his fingers, even after having
washed his hands.
A gentleman does not possess a box
of carpenter's tools, but no paper
knife.
A gentleman does not receive books
for review and give them away or
sell them without opening them.
A gentleman does nur make pres-
ents only of things which are entirely
without intellectual value.
A gentleman does not send to hig
bookseller for a parcel of books on
approval, and after having read them,
return them, saying that none of them
suit him.
A gentleman does not buy only
sixpenny cheap editions.
A gentleman does not depend for
his reading upon the daily journals
and illustrated weeklies.
New England Monuments.
New England's coast will soon be
studded with memorials of its discov-
erers and explorers and settlers. To
the massive Pilgrim monument at Ply-
mouth and the imposing Miles Stan-
ituinTent Dexbury, rumen
rincetown, where i
buched American shore,
assured, after some years of agita ;
But it has been decided to erect an-
other Pilgrim monument at Eastham,
also on Cape Cod, not many miles
from Provincetown. And in the first
week of the present month the corner-
stone of a monument to Bartholomew
Gosnold was laid on Cuttyhunk, the
outermost of the Elizabeth Islands,
on the south coast of Massachusetts,
between Vineyard Sound and Buzzards
Bay. Here Gosnold, with thirty-two
other Englishmen, landed on the 25th
of May, 1602, and a few days later de-
cided to found an English settlement.
He gave up, however, before the end
of June, and went back to England
with a store of recollections which,
with the help of imagination, were
made into a readable narrative. The
memorial will consist of a shaft, sixty
feet high, of the rough native stone,
having a suitably inscribed bronze
tablet, and built on the littie island
where Gosnold constructed his rude
house, in the centre of a pond on
Cuttyhunk.—Harper’'s Weekly.
A Boundary Discussion.
The location of the 100 parallel of
longitude, which forms the boundary
line between Texas and Oklahoma,
has been the cause of much discus-
sion during the past two decades, says
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Washington University has bcen
particularly interested in the dispute,
as its observatory has been used
as a base, and also two persons from
this university have made determina-
tions at different points on the line.
In 1891 Professor H. S. Pritchett lo-
cated the line near Childress, Tex., at
the instance of the State of Texas. In
1889, Mr. John J. Lichter located a
monument at Higgins, Tex., for Aus-
tin capitalists. As none of this work
since the original location of the line
in 1859 by Jones and Brown has been
done under the direction of the Fed:
eral Government, and in order to set
at rest controversies that have arisen
the United States General Land Of-
fice has decided to establish a monu-
ment at the intersection of the 100th
meridian with the Red River.
Bought a Live Chicken.
“I quit wondering about things sev-
eral years ago, after I had established
business over here,” says a retailer in
Greenwich street. “There are more
funny things happen in this old street
than in any other in New York, I do
believe. But I saw a new osne a few
days ago. A woman came in and
bought a live chicken. Then she
asked me for a paper bag. I gave :t
to her and she dropped in the bird,
grabbed the bag by the top and car-
died away her purchase. Judging from
her manner, I suppose it was nothing
new to her, but it was the first time
I ever saw a paper bag put to that
use. However, as I said, this is Grecen-
wich street.”—New York Commercial
Advertiser. :

Salida, Col. (Special).—A report was
received here shcrtly before noon to the
effect that the Denver and Rio Grande
narrow gauge passenger train, which
left here during the night, was held up
and robbed by several men near Sar-
gents west of Marshall Pass.
The robbery occurred at 8.50 o'clock
at Chester, Col, 250 miles west of Den-
ver. The engineer was compelled at the
point of a revolver to stop the train by
masked men, who had climbed over the
tender. Two safes in the express car
were blown open but it is asserted by
officers of the Rio Grande Express Com-
pany that the robbers failed to secure
any plunder from the safes.
The passengers were compelled to
alight from the cars and line up along-
side the tracks in the canyon, and they
were relieved of all their money and
valuables. Many of the passengers
threw away their money, watches and
jewelry among the rocks before the rob-
bers searched them. There were many
tourists among the “passengers, and
while it is not known how much the
robbers secured, it is presumed that the
losses were heavy.
The train was the westbound narrow
gauge passenger. The cars, as usual at
this season, were all filled. There were
four robbers. The scene of the robbery
is in a wild, mountainous country at the.
foot of Marshall Pass on the west slope.
The bandits mounted horses and dis-
appeared in the ravines that lead into
Marshall Pass. The sheriff at Salida and
sheriffs of adjoining counties and a
dozen posses are in pursuit.

NEW VERSION OF OLD STORY.
Little Italian Boy Declared They Took
Babies Out of Cabbages.
There are almost as many versions
of the stork legend as there are of the
original creation, but one that com-
bines the familiar features of that
pretty fiction with cabbages is certain-
ly unusual.
Such a version was recently told to
an East Side kindergarten teacher by
one of her Italian pupils.
Just before the morning exercises
began she vas sitting at her desk, and
the children were standing in groups
about the room animatedly discussing
their various important affairs, when
sudd-nly the teacher caught the fol-
lowing scrap of their conversation:
“But they are born in cabbages; I
tell you I know they are.”
The speaker was a bright-eyed little
Italian boy, who had for his audience
a little Sicilian girl.
“You don’t believe
teacher?” she queried, turning round.
“Believe wkat, Carlie?” was the in-

sesne form or another. And yet, probably,
aot a tenth of the women know that their
lisease is catarrh. To distinguish catarrh
of various organs it has been named very
differently.
One woman has dyspepsia, another bron-
chitis, another Bright's disease, another

s they are all suffering with chronic catarrh.
o But it is so, nevertheless.
: Jach one of these troubles and a great
many more are simply catarrh—that is,
chronicinflatnmation of the mucous lining of
which ever organ is affected. Any internal
remedy that will cure catarrh in one loca-
tion will cure it in any other. This is why
Peruna has become so justly famous in the
cure of female diseases. It cures catarrh
wherever located. Its cures remain. Pe-
runa does not palliate—it cures.
Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman
from Illinois, writes from Robinson, Il.
the following praise for the great catarrha
tonic Peruna. Congressman Crowley says:
“Mrs. Crowley has taken a number
of bottles of Peruna on account of
nervous troubles. It has proven a
sirong tonic and lasting cure. I can
cheerfully recommend it.’’—J. DB,

pleased to give you his valuable advice
