You don’t think it would be very pleasant ?
Well, it isn’t, yet hundreds of men live in
just that state—work, receive pay, and live
year alter year in the very sight of death, as
it were—all that the world may have gun
powder. You can easily guess that these
men go about quietly, and never laugh.
You know that gunpowder is very danger
ous in a gun or near the fire, but perhaps you
don’t know that it is equally dangerous all
through the process ot making. A powder
mill is a fearful place to visit, and strangers
are very seldom allowed to go into one. They
are built far from any town, in woods, and
each of the work is done in a separate build
ing. These houses are quite a distance from
each other, so that if one blows np it don’t
blow the rest. Then the lower parts ot the
building are made very strong, while the
roofs are lightly set on, so that if it explodes
only the roofs will suffer. Bat, in spite of
every care, sometimes a whole settlement of
the powder mills will go off almost in an in
stant, and every vestage of the toil of years
will be swept away in a second.
But though you feel like holding your

speaking of tbe lately deceased Duke of
Brunswick, says; “One of the ugliest men, he
was accustomed to have himself painted and
enameled, and ‘made up* with all the artifi
ciality of the patronesses of Madame Rachel.
His bald bead was crowned with a blue-black
wig, one of thirty, changed every day, and
imitating the growth of the hair; wig No. 1
being cut close, to imitate a head just cropped
by the barber; wig No. 2 being a trifle longer,
and so on all through the series. When the

of the dangerous powder, crushed by the
boot, would explode the whole in an instant.
The floor of this bouse is covered with leath
er, and is made perfectly black by tbe dust
of the gunpowder. It contains a set of 9eives,
each one smaller tiian the last, through
which the powder ia sifted, aud an immense
ground and laboring mill, where it is ground
up, while men shovel it in wooden shovels.
The machinery makes a great deal of noise,
but the men are silent, as in the other houses.
The reckless crashing of the machinery even
seems to give greater hoiror, and one is very
glad to get out of that house.
The stoviog room is next on the list, and
there the gunpowder is heated on wooden
trays. It is very hot, and no workmen stay
there. From there it goes to the packing
house, where it is put in barrels, kegs and
canisters.
Lastly, through all these houses it goes at
last to tbe storehouse. One feels like drawing
a long breath to fee tho fearful stuff safely
packed away out of the hands of men in this
curious house.
You’ve heard of things being os dry as a
powder-horn, but }’ou would not think this
house very dry. It is a^jnost imbedded in
water. Did you ever hear of a water-roof be
fore? Instead of steps to go in, there are
shallow tanks of water, through which every
one mast walk to the door.
In none of these powder-honses is any light
ever allowed except sunlight The wages are
good; the day's work is short, ending always
at 3 or 4 o’clock. But the men bave a serious
