■When tM Product *« to B« Uud for
Gunpowder.
Charcoal-making for gunpowder ;
i* a much more complicated process 1
than the ordinary field kiln manu- i
facture. says the Chicago Record.
Only certain kinds of wood are used
—usually the young shoots of eldfer j
«nd wiltow—and it is cut In the
spring, To that the bark may be
stripped off. It is then piled under
Airy, open sheds, and allowed to re-
main several years, until it is thor-
oughly dried. When the powder-
maker is ready fer a new supply of
obA'coal, the wood is cut into lengths
of three feet and placed in tight iron
retorts, under and around which a
•fire roars continually. The dampers
and pipes are so arranged that the
workmeo have complete oontrol of
- the heat.- At the end of the retort
a hole Is left for the escape Of inflam-
mable gases resulting from the
oharring processes. A pipe catches
them as they leave the retort and
conveys them into the furnace,
where they take the place of a.good
deal of fuel. When the flame of the
gases becomes a deep-blue color, the
workmen know that the wood is suf-

AN EXACT MAN.
"The History of a Peculiar OW Mao
in Vienna. *
The Paris new spa pern tell of a
"peculiar old man who died at Vienna
early In March in hie 73d year. They
call him the most exact man of whom
there Is record. ‘From his27thyear
he kept accurate account of all he
bought and what be paid for it. A
few days before his death he made
v up bis books to shQW just what eat-
ing, drinking and wearing oiothee
bad cost him duriog his last fifty-
•aix years. The totals show that in
this period he wore out eighty-five
pairs of trousers and seventy-four
coats and vesta, for which he paid
$8,000. He bad bought 208 shirts
And 306 collars, valued at $300. His
omnibus fare was $208. In the
twenty-seven years.of his gay life he
had 28,786 glasses of beer. He gave
up drinking in his 54th year, but he
continued to. smoke constantly even
duriDg bis last sickness, raising the
number of bis cigars to 628,713, or
an average of 11,247 a year. Of the
Whole number some 43*500 were
given him; he bought the rest for
$12,500, or two cents each. The ex-
act old man took roost pride in his
•ocks, which were of the best silk
sad most expensive make, costing
usually $4.50 a pair. He wore out
but sixty-two pairs between his 27th
and 73d years, or hardly more than
A pair a year.—N. Y. Sun.
A Masculine Nom Ds Plums.

Prcorietor.
It is a curious fact fhat the major-
ity of women who become really dis-
tinguished in literature under a nom
ds plume have done so under names
that were either masculine or had
no sex suggestion. Nobody oould
tell whether or not Currer Bell was
man or woman. George Sand won a
an audience that would have been
impossible to Aurore Dude van.t, as
did George Eliot one that would have
whistled Marian Evans quite down
the wind. Coming nearer our own
time, there is John Strange Winter
—who is in private life Mrs. Stan-
nard—and John Oliver Hobbs, the
sensation of at least a London week,
wbo is really Mrs. Perry Cragie.
Then in America Octave Thanet,
known to her friends as Miss Alice
French, and Charles Egbert Crad-
dock, whom all the world has heard
•of, though only about half would reo-
ognize her as Miss Murfree.

to spare, and greeted his proposi-
tion with applause. We talked
awhile about politics and hard
times, and then Jack became scat-
tering in his ideas, and I was pretty
certain wanted to talk to me on
something more important to him
than the general affairs of the ooun-
atry at large. I lot him get arqund
to the subject himself so as not to
confuse him, and it wasn't long be-
fore be was ready to present hia
case.
^‘Colonel,” he hesitated, “do you
believe in signs?"
“Well, Jack,” I replied, “It de-
pends on what kind of signs. For
instance, if I see a sign over a .build*-
ing—‘Sawmill’—I don’t go in there
to buy dry goods."
“I don’t mean that kind," be said,
with a nervous laugh.
“No?” and I looked at him just a
Mt curiously.
"No. I mean the other kind.
Those that are signs as is signs.
You know what signs is, don’t you?”
be explained, lucidly.
"Superstitions, you mean?” I ven-
tured.
"Yes,” he answered, with a
gleam in his face. ‘Them’s them.
Do you believe in them?"
"That depends, too. Have you
been seeing any?"
He’ blushed sheepishly, and
changed bis seat oQ the log.
"Well, that’s what 1 wanted to ask
you about,” he said. "You know
Mandy Milser, don’t you?”
1 nodded, for I had seen Mandy, \
and Bhe was the best specimen of j
young womanhood in that neck of
woods.
“Well,” he went on, "I’ve been j
kinder sparkin' Mandy for better’n I
a year now, and sbe ain’t very in- [
couridgin’. In course, I hain't ever
mentioned the subject right to her, |
but I’ve been beatin’ the devil around
the stump mighty close for some
time, and Ldon't know whether I’ve
got much hopes er not. When I got
my new house about done, 1 ast her
one day if she thought thar ort to
be a porch in front uv it. and she
said she thought they ort. So I put
ooe thar. Next time I seen her I
ast if thar ort to be a palin’ fence er
a post an’ rail acrost the yard, and
the said they ort. So I put one
thar. Then, after that, I ast her if
the house ort to be painted white or
pink, and she said she thought it ort
to be white. So J painted it white.
One day I was at her house talking
and I ast her if the well ort to ha\.e
a windlass er a sweep, and she said
a sweep, fer the sweep was so pic-
turesque© — what’s picturesquee,
colonel?” and he stopped a mo-
ment.
I explained what it was to be pic-
turesque, and be went on.
"Well, I didn’t know,” be said,
“but I put up the sweep. Then I
ast her If I ort to set out peach trees
or apple trees in the yard, and she
said ther ort to be both, ’cause they
would come handy for family use.
So I set out both kinds. Last week
I moved into the one.room I’ve got
fixed up, and I’ve been kinder lone-
some and thinkin’ like. Yistiddy
Mandy came by, and I was settin’
on the porch, and she stopped at the
gate a minute and said she was

I had, and she hoped I'd be powerful1 *T~- *- *■ Quickly
