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 QUITE AS BAD AS BULLETS.

NORTH’S CHICKEN CHOLERA CURE! BEAST! 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- — - —... .. ... tour photograjdi craze has proved a per- the toiler lies below the water line and f ec t bonanza to the manufacturing trade. r ' —New York Times. 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 Epoch. 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.

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. Mrs. J. Lawson. 141 Bergen St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Gideon Thompson, the oldest ! and one of the most respected citizens 1 of Bridgeport, Conn., say.-; “1 am ninety years of age. and for the last three years have suffered from malaria and the effects of quinine poisoning. I recently began with Kaskine, which j broke up the malaria and increased my j weight 22 pounds.” Other letters of a similar character! from prominent individuals, which i stam]» Kaskine as a remedy of un doubted merit, will be sent on applica tion.
