In 1874 a canalboat carrying .a kuii dred barrels of gunpowder along th.< Regent’s park canal, in Loudon ex ploded jusf .opposite the magnlficen house of Laurence Alma-Tadema, th< famous artist, across the road. Thii- happened a t 4 o’clock on a-rainy morn\ Ing. Every window iu London withlt a radius of a mile was smashed, ant the houses in the immediate vicinity though solidly built of brick and stone were wrecked. “I was sound asleep in bed at th« time,” said Alma-Tadema, “and th« first I knew of the explosion was wher I found myself standing OTit on th< sidewalk In front of my house in th< rain, with my pajamas on and bar< feet. How 1 got there I never knew The entire top of the brick wall ir front of the lawn, before my house was blown off, and Ihe front of the house I f ^ f was as 4f driven In by the blow of a ’g jant’s fist. “The^eanalboat, we found oat after ward, had blown up underneath a solid brides, that crossed the canal at thal point. Had it not been for that mj house and the others near it would have been utterly knocked to pieces It was fortunate, too. that there was no one on the street at the time. Had the explosion occurred In the dartims hundreds of pereons mlgnt have beer killed or maimed. “But the strangest episode connected with the event concerned the man whose duty It was to keep watch on the bridge during the night. His name was Peter Knox. He was thirty-seven years old, married and had two chil dren. I knew the fellow and hasLoften chatted with him on the bridge. The day before the explo^on he had ar ranged with a friend of bis to come at 4 o’clock and relieve him. It was a Saturday, and he wanted to take his wife and children a little trip dlown to Busbey park on the Thames, ahd be wished to get to his bhnie In east Lon don In time so as to have breakfast and- be off early on Sunday morning. “Well, ns 4 o’clock drew near,' Peter, so he told me afterward, began to feel anxious lest bis friend should have forgotten the appointment. He paced up and down the bridge and looked up the street, but the momJag was se dark and misty with the rain that he could see only a short distance. A few minutes' before 4, he said, he no ticed a line of canalboats come slow ly dOwn toward the bridge, but paid no special attention to thdm, “Jnsjr -before the first boat passed, under.\ the-bridge'he,steppe^ off it, though -i^'doing so he wap infringing' CROPS GROW’ W ftHOitt How thfr Syrian ' the Moist ■•Sufafoll. .> In S.vi’Ia and Palestine fTpiii this b e ginning o f April until ©otober there ,It practically no rain, yet In July thi fields teem with a vigorous growth ot EXPLOSi ON I watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers ' ' j etc., all flourishing without hrtiflesia'. watering; althoughriat that Hme ,p< rain has fallen for many weeks. In fact, the S.vrlan peasant from thi moment his seed has been, sowpi prays that no rain may fail. During tlie pe riod of gi-ow'th of a. crop the, surface ol the soil to a depth of six o r elghi Inches Is perfectly dry and loose, Be low this surface layer will be found moist soil, In which the roots extend and gi'o-n- vigorously. In this, molsl sul^oll plants continue to, gro^ unitl late autumn. ^Vhen the crop is re moved In the autumn the rains com mence, and the land is plowesd aftei- each heavy -rain as soon ,as -Ule' soil’ begins to dry, ■ - Vi. ' ; ' ' Two .primary objects are. kdfit Jc view hi plowing—to furnish a favora ble surfhee for taking up- all the Watei and to prevent Its upivard evaporatfou- from- the sahsofl. Thre''greiitlpoint Is- to- keep the upper fix inches of, self perfecOy loose and frlaWp, so, thijt -the; moisture from below Is not d r a 'i^ up-^; •ward and lost in evaporation, bpi does ■not ascend higher than the conlpa<?l: subsoil that Is not broken up-by thci plow. For this reason the plowing Is shallo'w.' averaging from four to six inches In depth. ’ . •When the time for sowing the seSd arrives the land is ploived to a depth of about six Inches and the seed Is sown from an arrangemeut attached to the plow, falls on the damp subsoil and Is covered by the soil closing over behind the plowshare. From tips time the- upper stratum of. loose sM pre vents the escape of moisture upward beyond the -(vet subsoil on which the seeds rest .and into which tbehi ropta after - the process of gerinJnafipn spread.—Chicago Tribtme.

Near .Mill- wood a regiment of cavalry halted one night and went Into camp. One,of the men, who was hungry, slipped a-n-ay and went off in the neighhorhgod to get something to oai. He rode, up to a cabin oii a farm iu the dark ahd called for the person inside to come out.' A negro woman, known at-that time as an intelligent c-outraband. opened the door and asked Wm what he waut- ed. The soldier wished to he assured of his'safety before dlsiRO u n ting and while eating his supper, so he influired of the woman if any one but herself was there. She replied, “Yes; Mosby Is here.” “■What!” said he in a whisper. “Is Mosby here?” “Yes,” she said; “he is in the house.” , The soldier put spin's to his horse and dashed off to his company to carry the news. When he got there he in formed the colonel that Mosby was in a house not far away. The regiment was soon mounted and went at a fast trot, thinking they had Mosijy in a trap. When they arrived at the negro wo man’s house the colonel ordered his men to surround it to prevent Mosby’s escape, while he went in -with a few to •take him dead or alive. The ■n'oman again came to the door of the cabin. The colonel Inquired, “Is -Mosby bore?\ She Junoceutly ivplied, \Yes so he walked in. - ' , After the colonel got inside he looked round! But^the woman seemed to be all alone and utterly unconseious of having so Important a person for a guest. In a loud, voice the colonel,demand ed, “Where is Mosby?” , “ ’Ere he,” answered the terrified De gress, at the same time pointing to a cradle on the floor.

Englimd, writing in the London Baiicet, is authority for this simple cure. Dr, Jones -writes: “ To break the smoking habit iu a youth there is noth ing better than peppermint drops. He cannot smoke with a ‘bullseye’ in his mouth, and even for sortie time after It is dissolved, tobacco will not blend the taste that remains. Socially the cure may seem worse than Hie disease, bmt from a medical point of view the sucking of peppermints js far less liurtful. A dommori 'bullseye’ will prevent smoking for nearly an Hour, so the amount of sweets used Heed not be gi-eat.” HI# Discharge.
