Subsisting Upon Potatoes.
The only people in the world who have
fallen into the grievous error of striving
to subsist almost entirely upon potatoes
are the Irish. It cannot be doubted that
nearly or quite all the ills tliat trouble
unhappy Ireland are due to the humble
potato. The Irish are the meanest fed
people living in a civilized land of which

WHY BOILERS EXPLODE.
A Holler Inspector Explains Ills Theory
and Tells How to Avoid Danger.
Mr. Carroll drew a diagram of a toiler-
liead in outline uj>on the table. “It’s
like this,” he proceeded to explain slowly
and deliberately: “Here’s the water line
in this toiler.” And he drew a mark
across the circle.
“Now it is the opinion of toiler men
and other experts that the danger from
minute flaws and fissures in the shell of
Amateur Photographers’ Fad.
i A new fad of the amateur photogra-
! phers, who are legion, is to take views on
j every occasion j>ossible <>f events they at
tend, and preserve the same in an album
! instead of keeping a diary. Indeed, the
j volume is called the “Album 1 Jiary.
< The guests at a recent fashionable social
I gathering up the Hudson were sent by a
j young lath - of the household photographs
| of almost ever}* incident of the fete,
| taken at the time unawares. Couples
I were revealed in forest strolls, or seques-
j tered tete-a-tetes, and in one instance a
| wife was shown in a qui*L hallway tying
i tor careless husband's cravat. The ama-

not above it. But I have reached the
conclusion that from these little flaws !
that go undetected upon the most minute j
examination, the entire danger is entirely ’
above the water line. Now, mark you,
T have found from long and careful oh- ■
serration that from 73 to 80 per cent, of ,
all toiler explosions occur at about 7 j
o’clock in the morning <>r about the time
when the engine is being started up.
And that most, if not wholly, the bal- !
ance of the percentage happen at the
starting time in the afternoon. Every
locomotive blows up, 3 011 will perceive,
at about the time it is leaving the depot.
I was surprised at the discovery of all
this, inasmuch as at the starting time in
the morning toilers have no more than
about seventy-five pounds pressure of
steam. That is not enough to explode, I
may say, the most defective of shells.
“Then I thought it out and came to the
conclusion that all of the danger lav -
atove the water line and from the minute
fissures and punctures in the shell. It is
in this way: When tl e boiler is shut
down after a day’s work, the condensa
tion forms a vacuum; but through the
little chinks and leaks above the water
line the air rushes in. In the morning,
when the toiler is fired up and steam
generated to seventy-five pounds, this air
cannot to ejected as rapidly its the
vacuum forces it in. There is then in
the toiler 60 percent, of water and 40
|M‘r cent, of air. The first revolution
thoroughly mixed the water and the air,
and at seventy-live pounds pressure the
air is expanded with great force, and at
this first revolution the boiler exploded.
“To remedy this every engineer in
Detroit is instructed, before starting his
lire, to pull his safety valve wide open
until steam is seen to come, through and
then shut the valve door and go on.
“Boilers used for agricultural purposes
are very liable to explode in consequence
of taking water from a barrel through
neglect of seeing to it that the barrel is
kept full. If tiie barrel is kept full all
would be well, but it is allowed to be
come cfnpty or partly so. and then the
pumps suck air. and when the air is in
and fully expanded the boiler must
burst.”—Detroit Free Press.
Fruit of tlie Sand Box Tree.
The woody, melon shaped fruit of the
sand box tree of the West Indies is made
into a neat box by sawing off the top
and scooping out the seeds, and is used
in Barbadoes for holding sand. When,
however, the fruit is allowed to ripen on
the tree, it bursts explosively, scattering
the seeds over the ground. An experi
menting naturalist recently sought to
preserve a specimen of the fruit by dry
ing carefullv, but it exploded with such
vi deuce as to destroy the box containing
it.—Boston Budget.
Manufacturing Carbonic Acid Gas.
The manufacture of carbonic acid gas
is becoming an important business in
Berlin, where more than 1,000 pounds
are made daily. It is put up in steel
bottles, each holding seventeen to eigh
teen pounds, at a price a little less than
twenty four cents per pound. The gas
in a bottle when expanded occupies over
10,000 cubic feet, and is used mainly in
making mineral waters and for beer en
gines. —Industries.
The Foreign Travel Dodge.
‘Ah! Dinksey, I see you are going to
Europe?”
“How did } r ou know?”
“Saw the steamer chairs down at
Blank’s with your name and the steam
er's name on them.”
“That’s a little dodge of mine, don’t
you know? I’m going into the country
! where nobody knows me to spend the
summer reading European guide books.

The Lick Training School.
It. is ten years since James lick, the
San Francisco millionaire, died, leaving
the bulk of his large fortune for charita
ble ‘and scientific purposes, yet the most
practical of his bequests—the training
school in the trades for young lads—has
j never been begun. In their first ten years
j of management the Lick trustees spent
; $150,000 for legal fees.
Arsenical Lozenges.
The greatest alarm spread over the in
habitants of a great flat house up town.
Little Johnny Jumpup had found a box
of his mother’s arsenical lozenges that she
took carefully, three a da\\ for her com
plexion,- and he had eaten all at one sitting.
Servants flew for doctors, and doctors
flew for the fiat. Every known remedy
for arsenic poison was administered. One
physician rattled off in his coupe to the
maker of the beautifying pills. In hasty
accents lie related the case, and begged
to know what proportion of arsenic in
fested a box of his wafers.
“Be under no alarm. ” said the doctor.
“Take the stomach pump out of little
Johnny. There isn't a particle of arsenic
in a barrel of 'em. The}- contain some
thing that promotes digestion and stirs
the torpid liver. Johnny’s liver may lie
abnormally active for a few days, and he
can eat a paper of tacks with as much
confidence as if he were an ostrich; but
no further effects will be felt from my
matchless wafers.
“There is no arsenic in arsenical
lozenges then?’
“Not a grain; but w omen do hanker to
take something with arsenic in. The
name is a great success, and m3 pills ,.,e
saving lots of ladies trom the d.nn.u u.i.
effects of arsenical solution and oilier
preparations of that fatal drug.' ’—Pioneer
Press.
Worthy of :i Philosopher.
A youngster under 4 years old was
going from home for awhile. His gov
erness was to be left behind: and feign
ing deep sorrow at his abandonment of
her, she asked what .she was to do while
lie was away. “Oh, sit on a mossy 'tone
and weep,” was the quick and apt reply,
worthy of a proverbial philosopher him

In this condition I visited New
York in November, 1885, on business.
While there I stopped with Mr. E. I).
Barker, of the University Publishing
Company. I told Mr. Barker of my
condition. He called my attention to
your Kaskine and procured for me a
bottle. After my return home 1 took
the pellets as directed and found much
relief afforded thereby. Of this change
I wrote Mr. Barker, who sent two or
three bottles during the past year. My
health greatly improved. I increased
in weight from 165. pounds to 200
pounds, my present weight. I believe
the Kaskine did it. Quinine had failed,
as had other remedies usually admin
istered in such cases.
Now, unless in case of exposure to
extra bad weather, I do not have chills,
and my general health is quite good.
I turned over half a bottle to a voting
lady friend a few weeks since. 1 learn
from her mother that she was much
benefited by it while it lasted.
1 trust you may be able to introduce
Kaskine generally in this country, in
I which many suffer from diseases con-
! sequent, upon malarial poison in the
system. From my own experience I
can emphasize its excellence lor such
diseases. If I can serve you call on me.
I am very truly yours,
John C. Scarborough.
Seven years ago I had an attack of j
bilious remittent fever, which ran into i
intermittent malarial. 1 tried all the j
known remedies, such as arsenic, nier- i
cury and quinine. The latter was ad-j
ministered to me in heavy and contin
ued doses. Malaria brought on ner
vous prostration and dyspepsia, from
which I suffered everything. Last
winter I heard of Kaskine and began
using it. A few bottles of the wonder
ful drug cured me. Malaria and dys
pepsia disappeared, and a< you have
seen a June da}’ brighter for the sum
mer storm that had passed across the
1 sky, so the cloud left mv life and my
; health became steady and strong.
