M fc'SON, rest, Andersoff, C. own of Santander, near ao, on the north coast of Spain, w the scene of a terrible disaster on t Ney. 3, causing the loss of between two .ana three hundred lives, with se? rious injuries also to several hundred other persons, and great destruction of property, including damage to many houses in the town. A Spanish coast? ing steamer, called the Machichago, with a cargo w^ich consisted of bar? rels of spirits, petroleum and about fifty tons of dynamite, was unloading at the mole. Some portion of the inflammable cargo took fire. Efforts were made under the direction of the town police, acting in the presence of the governor, to remove the dynamite and the petroleum, while a steam tug was brought alongside the burning ship, to tow her away from the quay, which was crowded with people. At half-past four in the afternoon, prob? ably from the concussion produced by the sudden bursting of the steam boilers, the whole interior of the ves? sel was shattered, its contents were mingled together, and the dynamite was ignited; there was a series of tre? mendous shocks. The ship and the steam tug were blown to pieces, scat? tered over the harbor and quay, and at least sixty houses, as well as sev? eral vessels lying near, and a.train at the railway station, were set on fire by the blazing fragments. The gov? ernor of the town and several other official persons of rank were among the killed. Dynamite, as most of our readers' know, is a preparation of nitroglycer? ine, which latter is made by treat? ing glycerine with nitric and sulphu? ric acids. Nitroglycerine is an oil and possesses the remarkable quality of violent explosion when subjected to slight pressure. It is therefore very dangerous to handle. To di? minish this danger, and also to pre? sent it in the form of a powder, an ab sorbant substance its mixed with it, which holds the liquid nitroglycerine. within its pores and acts as a cushion that prevents the nitroglycerine from from exploding under light pressures, such as handling. Dynamite is the name given to ni? troglycerine when thus protected by an absorbent. Porous microscopic shells, known as infusorial earths, form the best absorbent, and this ma? terial is nsed in the manufacture of dynamite. When dynamite is sub? jected to sufficient pressure, by con? cussion, for example, when contained in a bomb which is allowed to fall upon the ground from a suitable height, it explodes with terrific force. .The explosiv e power is eight times great er than that of gunpowder, arid in gen? eral, for' ordinary use for Wasting pur? poses, it is cheaper and ' safer than gunpowder; but for some kinds of blasting, particularly in coal mining, specially prepared , gunpowder is pre? ferred. The most authentic history of gun S)wder attributes its discovery to a er man chemist named Berthold Schwarz, some time during the cen? tury beginning with the year 1300; and this remained for more than five hundred years the explosive most com monyl used, until the invention of gun cotton by Sohronbein in 1843 and of nitroglycerine by a French chemist, A. Sobrero, in 1847, in the laboratory of Pelouze, Paris. The action of nitric acid to ren? der cotton and other substances explosive was disdovered by Pejouze in 1838. The Key of Ine Jail. In one of the counties in South? western Georgia, bat newJy made at the time,,the superior'court was in session at Siddoosville, the site of the county. Now in that section of the county, all times and- events were reckoned from the court. Everything happened '''just afore the spring court," or "not. many days after the .court broke." Court week, in fact, was a holiday or festival to those backwoodsmen, and all who could spare the time, and. most of those who couldn't, where sure to be at Siddons ville, during court week, drinking the "bald face" of the dog gery, swapping hosses or playing mar? bles, etc. The presiding judge of the court mentioned above was the Hon. ?? of M-, a rather crabbed speci? men judicial?paying but little atten? tion to the remarks of lawyer or wit? nesses in a case, but punc? tilious in maintaining dignity in the court. An important case was employing the attention of the bar, and "the court" was half dozing in his easy chair, with his feet upon the curb of the bench in front, when the ears of "the oourt," bar, jury and "general muster," were startled with an nn-' earthly scream rolling through the window from the doggery without. "Come outen thar, an' I'll lick you quicker'n lightning'.*' "Mr. Sheriff," said the judge, "bring that bawling savage into court. Jess Day, the sheriff, obeyed the command, and presently reappeared, leading by the collar, on either side of him, a genuine article of the genus homo hoosier. "Are those the men who were dis? turbing the court?" demanded his honor. "Yes, sir," said the sheriff. "Put them in jail for two hours," said the judge. Jess marched them off to the "lock up." Alas 1 no, 'twas no "lock up," for some former disturber of the dig? nity of the "court" had broke jail by breaking the door down. The prison? ers were, however, thrust into the sixteen-foot square log building called the jail, the door shutter placed be? fore the opening, a rail prop? ped against it, and a deputy placed on guard. After two hours had expired, Tom Bivins, a bit of a wag by-the-by, let down the door, discharged the prison? ers, and shouldering the rail, march? ed into the courtroom followed by an immense crowd. As soon as the judge observed the commotion at the entrance, he called to the sheriff to know what was the matter, and why that man carried a rail upon his shoulder. "Please yer 'oner," said Tom Biv? ins, "I've let out them prisoners, and brung the key uv the jail to the sher? iff." The bar screamed, the jury yelled, and the "general muster" went into^ convulsions, and the "court," al? though fining the deputy, was seen to draw up the corners of his mouth into a half-ashamed smile. ? Peat diggers at Cavendish, Strad more, Ireland, have made a remarka? ble discovery. Ait a depth of nearly 25 feet they have unearthed a stratum of what -appears to be pure butter. The "vein" varies in thickness from 1 to 7 inches, and is said to be of the consistency of common bar soap. Geologists who have visited the locality of the wonderful find say that it is simply a layer of mineral wax, but the workmen still declare that "indade it's a bog of butter." If the stratum proves to be extensive it will probably be utilized in the manufac? ture of so. p.s and candies.?St. Louis Republic Freedom for the Cotton Farmers* Nothing that have ever happened to the Southern farmer has been a greater blessing in disguise than the low price of cotton. So long as the price of cotton kept up to ten cents a pound, men could get advances of the cotton crop and could squeeze through, on purchased food for man and'beast, at enormous rates of inter? est. The cotton croppers managed to exist from year to year on capital, borrowed at a rate per annum that a city merchant would hesitate to pay to tide over temporary difficulty. The merchant, the fertilizer man and the railroads waxed fat. But at the low prices that have prevailed for some time, there is no margin for the men who grow cotton at such an exhorbi tant cost. They cannot borrow mon? ey for supplies, and have been com? pelled to raise these things, and grow less cotton, From all over the coun? try, this year comes the cheering news: "Our people will have plenty to eat and to feed the ani? mals, no matter what the price of cot? ton." In one of the Eastern cotton States, the statistics collected by the board of agriculture from hundreds of care? ful correspondents in every part of the State, show that there is an enor? mous increase of cereal crops and for? age, and that the number of hogs rais? ed is over 100 per cent, increase over last year. At the same time the cot? ton crop, on a reduced acreage, would have run higher than usual, but for the damage of the recent hurricane. That this hurricane will largely re? duce the cotton crop, .and very seri? ously the tobacco crop, and to some extent other crops, is undeniable, and will tend towards higher prices for these staples. But the lesson has taken hold of the farmers and will bear fruit for the future, no matter what the price of cotton. A ride on any of the railroads through North and South Carolina and other States, shows a wonderful in? crease in the area in peas and clover, Sarticularly in the cowpea fields?the outhern clover. And thousands of hogs will fatten oheaply on the pea fields this fall, where none were rais? ed before. When once our Southern farmers fully feel by experience the benefit and the independence growing out of diversified farming, they will rapidly come to the point when their cotton crop will be really their money crop, that is, their surplus crop, the food and expenses having been made out of their cereals and livestock. When this time comes they can, to some extent, control the price of their staple, for it will keep easily; and men out of debt and with plenty to eat, will notbe compelled to rush their cotton to market for whatever price the speculators choose to offer. When the Southern farmer fully realizes that he can produce everything he needs, with a surplus of food products to sell, and does it, he will hold the whip handle on the cotton market, while he grows twice or thrice asmuoh of it per aore as he did on the old plan of slavery to the merchant.? Practical Farmer. Fooling the Hrn. "Yes, sir, I can raise chickens three days quicker by planting the eggs than can be done in the regular way," said an old man who officiates as gardener for a prominent iron manufacturer on Fifth avenue, East End. It seems strange, but chickens are about the only things that man is able to grow. The usual things produced in a garden languish and fall nnder his directions, but chickens thrive. "You see, I brought, this idea over with me from the old country. I place the eggs in a box with a little fertil? izer, then plant the box about four or five inches below the surface." "Well, some" one told me yon in? dulged in an- incantation over the box," said the reporter. "Not at all; I just put a little vin? egar over it, nothing else," was the gardener's reply. "You don't understand me. I mean that you use some charm or other." " "0, no ! The only rule you must I follow is not to open the box except between the going down and the com? ing up of the su?:" was the way the gardener answered. "Then there is some mystery about it, after all ?" was asked. "No, you must keep the box dry," replied the old,chicken farmer. The reporter gave np further ques? tioning as futile, and permitted the farmer to tell his story without inter? ruption. "Well, you see, Ilet the box remain under the ground for a period equal to that required for a hen to hatch out eggs, less three days, then open the box in the evening. Then I find I have my chickens all hatched out. I am here with a difficulty. If I try to put the young chickens with a hen to raise she will peck them until she kills them. It is too much trouble to care for them myself so I have to play a trick. I take a chicken that is not laying well and make her drunk. I do this by giving her whiskey, and soon she begins to stagger around, until at last in a drunken stupor she lies down. I take her, and fixing her carefully in a box I have already prepared, place the chicks under her. By morning the effect of the alcohol has worn off and the hen is going around the yard clucking to her young brood in the proudest manner. She imagines that she has been sitting upon the eggs and this is the result of her patience. I have tried this a number of times and the experiment has never failed." ?Pittshurg Dispatch. The True Physician* The money-making idea is one that is dominant in the majority of hu? manity, and every occupation is look? ed upon as a trade. Philanthropic motives, pure and simple, are either sneered at as visionary, uncharitably branded as a trick of trade, or consid? ered as a mere . advertising dodge. True medicine, however, proclaims that the true physician is most happy when the patients are most healthy ; this idea the common mind rejects as an absurd and impracticable doctrine. There is a belief very generally spread that the physician has no interest in the preservation of health, but rather rejoices when there is the most sick? ness. This may be true in rare cases, but as a rule it is untrue. The phy? sician who practices his profession for mere mercenary motives has certainly a very low character and a decidedly sordid spirit. Some one has most truthfully said that the sanitary en? gineering and preventive skill which make our homes sweet and comforta? ble tend to check disease and impov? erish those who dare to bring down the medical art to the level of a trade. No tradesmau would get up in the middle of a cold winter's night, and ride ten miles without the prospect of pay, and yet the physician does this often. The true physician, therefore, becomes a teacher of benevolence.? Med. Summary. ? Neal Dow, of Maine, now 80 years of age, has watched the opera? tion of the Maine law forty-eight years, and he testifies that three fourths of the territory of the State is practically free from the taint of liquor, and that the people of Maine save yearly more than $24,000,000, which would otherwise have been ex? pended in drink. The Dissatisfied Boy,, The boy who thinks he could do great things, "if he only had a chance," is the boy who seldom makes a success of anything. He is always waiting for "good luck" to bring him into prominence. He isn't valuable to a practical employer who wants a boy that can do ordinary things well and who is willing to do ordinary things. The boy who sullenly thinks that his position, wherever it may he, is not "as good as he deserves," is pre? paring the way for disappointment in after years. The world never puts a valuation on a man or a boy as it does upon a horse or a steam engine; they have a market value the minute they are shown?based on their capacity to do good work. But a boy has no value until he earns one himself. The world never applauds a man for what he says he can do, hut for something he has actually done. When he has shown that he possesses quality and capability, then the world stamps his value upon him, as the mint stamps the gold. The qualities that are valuable are intelligence, accuracy and honor. A boy must show that he has fair mental capacity, that he has formed the habit of correctness, and that he is trust? worthy. The hoy who allows himself to feel that he is working solely for the wages he receives will never get beyond the grade of wage earner. He should try to learn something each day, because it is what he learns, not what he earns, that makes him valuable. By know? ing more he is able to earn more. If a boy will realize that dissatis? faction with conditions is an injury to himself, hut that a laudable ambition to advance is a merit, he will prosper. And advancement can come only through doing well what is each mo? ment to be done. Such boys are always observed and kept in mind by men who need boys' services.?South port Leader. A Schoolboy's Letter. I forward a genuine letter from a schoolboy to his mother: "My Dear Ma: I wright to tell you I am very retched and my chilblains is worse again. I have not made any progress and do not think I shall. I am very sorry to be such au jxpense, but I do not think this schule is any good. One of the fellows has taken the crown of my best hat for a target. I He has now borrowed my watch to '< make a water wheal with the works, but it won't act. Me and him have tried to put the works back, but we think some wheals are missing as they won't fit. I hope Matilda's cold is better. I am glad she is not at schule. I think I have got consumption. The boys at this place are not gentlemanly, but of course you did not know this when you sent me here. I will try not to get bad habits. The trousers have worn out at the knees. I think the tailor must have cheated you, the buttons have come off, and they are loose behind. I don't think the food is good, but I should not mind if I was stronger. The piece of meat I send you is off the beef we had on Sunday, but on other days it is more stringy. There are black beadles in the kitchen and sometimes they cook them in the dinner, which can't be wholesome when you are not strong. Dear Ma, I hope you and Pa are well, and do not mind my being so uncom? fortable because I do not think I shall last long. Please send me some money as I o 8d. If you cannot spare it I think I can borrow it of a boy who is going to leave at the half quarter and then, he won't ask for it back again, but perhaps you wd. not like to be under obligation to his parents as they are tradespeople. I think you deal at their shop. I did not mention it or I dare say they wd. have put it down in (She bill. Yr. loving but retched son, John." Bu ll way Accidents. According to the Fifth Statistical Report of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, the number of railway employes killed during the year end? ing June 30, 1892, was 2,554, the number of employes injured being 28,267. The number of passengers killed was 376 in 1892, as against 293 in 1891; while the number of passen? gers injured was 3,227 in 1892, as against 2,972 in 189,1. An assignment of casualties to the opportunity offer? ed for accidents in 1892 shows 1 em? ploye to have been killed for every 322 employes, and 1 employe . to have been injured for each 29 men in the employ of the railways. A similar comparison shows one passenger kill? ed for each 1,491,910 passengers car? ried or for each 35,542,282 passenger miles, and 1 passenger injured for each 173,833 passengers carried or e ich 4,140,966 passenger miles. The largest number of casualties to em? ployes resulted from coupling and un? coupling cars, 378 employes having been killed and 10,319 injured while rendering this service. Of the total number killed in coupling and uncoup? ling cars, 253, and of the total number injured, 7,766 were trainmen. The accidents classed as "falling from cars" were in this year, as in previous years, responsible for the largest number of deaths among employes, the number killed in this manner be 611. Of this number485 were train? men. Collisions and derailments were responsile for the death of 431 employes. Of this number 336 were trainmen. This class of accidents is responsible also for the largest number of casualties to passengers. Thus 177 passengers were killed and 1,539 were injured by collisions and derailments during the year. Collis? ions alone were responsible for the death of 286 employes and 136 passengers. - Ada?"At Jennie's wedding Blie had to mit thirty minutes for the bridgegroom. "Wasn't that perfectly awful ?"

A Society Man's Predicament, A very amusing story has just reached me concerning a prominent young society man who has jnst re tt.'ned from Chicago. He was board? ing at the home of relatives while there, and as large crowds came flock? ing in during the past week he was so accommodating as to give up his room and sleep on a sofa in the parlor. One morning he overslept himself, and as his door was unlocked what was his surprise to find three pretty Louis? ville young women enter the room. He had presence of mind enough to roll under the sofa aud back into a dark corner before they threw open the shutters. But, although he had tucked himself away, he had neglect? ed to hide his clothes, which were thrown across a rocking chair. The girls saw the clothes, but, believing they had been left there acidentally by the lady of the house, thought noth? ing about them and began a lively chat about the matters of the day. The young man didnotmindhis im? prisonment at first, but grew very nervous as the moments gradually lengthened into an hour. He stood it for two hours, and at last grew so exasperated that he thumped upon the floor and meekly put his head out and asked the young women to leave him until he put on his clothes. It is needless to say that their embar? rassment was great, and that none of them mentioned it while in Chicago, but as the young man has since recov? ered from the shock, he has been un? able to restrain himself from telling a few friends of his awkward predicament. ?Louisville Courier Journal. Tommy's Gentle Hint. "Father," asked Tommy, the other day, "why is it that the boy is said to be the father of the man ?" Mr. Tompkins had never given this subject any thought, and was hardly prepared to answer off-hand. "Why?why?" he said, stumb lingly, "It's so because it is, I sup? pose. ' "Well, pop, since I'm your father I'm going to give j'ou a ticket to the theater and half a dollar besides. I always said that if I was a father I wouldn't be so stingy as the rest of them are. Go in, pop, and have a good time while you're young. I never had any chance myself I" Mr. Tompkins gazed in blank aston? ishment at Tommy. Slowly the sig? nificance of the hint dawned upon him. Producing a silver dollar he said: "Take it, Tommy. When you really do become a father I hope it won't be your misfortune to have a son who is smarter than yourself." ?

Assessors and taxpayers making re? turns will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, and also make a separate return for each party for the township and school district in which the ftroperty is located. If the tax payer owns and, give his postoffloe as "place of resi? dence;" but for the residence of all others, the name of tho landowner on whose land be livesv Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years at the begin? ning of the present fiscal year (Nov. 1st, 1893,) is liable to poll tax unless incapa? ble of earning a livelihood from being maimed or from other physical defects. Cotton, Wheat, Corn and other crops on band the 1st of January, 1894, are not taxable, but all of these articles, in excess of one hundred dollars' worth, on hand the 1st day of Angust last are liable and must be listed for taxation. Real estate will be assessed this year and taxpayers will pleaso refer to tbeir deeds to be sure they return the correct number of acres, lots, buildings, etc., as this assessment of real estate will stand for four years. All buildiuirs worth ten dollars or more'are to be returned for taxation. To facilitate the work, and insure correctness, I would insist upon all taxpayers,, before returning, to make a memorandum of each building and It* value, the number of boicex, mule*, cattle, hogs, sheep and goats, watches, organs and pianos, cart*, buggies, wagons and carriages, dogs, An., with tho value of each; and also tho vaue of all ma? chinery, moneys, notes and accounts (above indebtedness) on band or owned by them on the 1st day of January, 1894. We must insist upon taxpaycis nuking returns by the 20th February, the time prescribed by law, otherwise a penalty of 50 per cent., must be added to the valua? tions. We must also insist upon correct returns to prevent errors at the time of collecting taxes. The work of this office is very arduous. We have to charge up some seventy-five or eighty thousand dollars of taxes, aggregate the number and value of all the horses, mules, cattle, Ac, acres of land, lots, buildings, in the county, and in addition, furnish serial requests and verify the sales of the coun? ty dispensary. So we confidently hope that our friends will comply with these reasonable requests, as our time is too limited to correct errors that might be avoided, or to take additional returns that might have been made within the time proscribed by law.
