WHY THE BOILER BURSTS. (cientlflc Explanation of Some Phenomena of the Kitchen. When you hear the kitchen boiler cracking, there is no cause tor alarm. There is a prevailing impression that the cracking is produced by steam and that there is therefore an increased pressure on the boiler at such times. But this is an error. If the boiler is in good condition, with the water turned on as usual so that the boiler is kept tilled, the only pressure that It is subjected to is the same as that In the water pipes, from which of course there never is the slightest danger. And this Is true no matter how hot the water In the boiler may lie. The reason is very simple. As long as the boiler is kept full of water there Is no room for steam. If you open the hot water cock, the water pours out, and steam rises from it, because it then has a chance to escape Into the air. In other words, evaporation takes place. But ns the hot water pours out water from the pipes rushes in to take its place, and thus the boiler Is kept full. The cracking noise referred to Is heard when the water Is unusually hot and is nothing but the expansion of the boiler under the influence of that heat. It Is in no degree an indication of danger unless indeed the boiler is worn out or defective, which is a matter entirely outside of what we are now considering. When a kitchen boiler explodes,-it Is generally because a tire has been kindled in the range while the boiler was empty. It happens sometimes when people come back to town after spending the summer awry The tire heats the boiler, of course, and when the water is turned on it is converted suddenly and violently into steam, and the boiler cannot stand the enormous pressure. Fortunately few persons are thoughtless enough or silly enough to build a tire before opening the cocks connecting the boiler with the water pipes.—Chicago Chronicle. The “Picket.” The picket was generally Inflicted on cavalry and artillerymen and was a singularly brutal bit of torture. A long post, near which stood a stool, was driven into the ground. The delinquent was ordered to mount the stool, and his right hand was fastened to a hook In the post by a noose, drawn up as high as it could be stretched, round his wrist. A stump the height of the stool, with Its end cut to a round and blunt point, was also driven into the earth close to the post. Then the stool was taken away, and the sufferer bad nothing to rest his bare feet upon but the stump, “which, though it did not usually break the skin,” says Captain Grose, "put him in great torture, his only means of relief being by resting his weight on his wrist, the pain of which soon became intolerable.” One can very well believe him. especially when he makes the addition that a Dian was not Infrequently left to stand In this position for halt an hour, although the orthodox period of endurance was 15 minutes.—Loudon Graphic. Mnrconl Objected. There was a little dinner once given to William Marconi, of which one incident Is still remembered by some of the guests. Au oratorical member of the company, growing enthusiastic over a toast to the inventor of wireless telegraphy. made this climax to his peroration: “Gentlemen. I give you Marconi, the Franklin, the Faraday and the 1 Helmholtz of Italy.” When the toast had been drunk, the distinguished guest thanked the party for the honor and added, “But I must protest against the action of the preceding speaker in making we triplets.”—Leslie’s Monthly. in Extenuation. A little girl between 4 and 5 years of ago came running in from sliding one day and exclaimed to bet mother: “Ob mamma, did you see me go down? I went like thunder.” To her mother’s astonished question as to whom she had heard say that the little one replied, "Well, mamma, you know yon said one day ‘as quick as lightning,’ and It always thunders after it lightens, doesn't it?”—Boston Christian Register.

HE 18 WANTED BACK The Return of Emperor Kwang Su to Pekin Is Now Earnestly Desired. JAPAN IS MAKING OVERTURES Uiurancss Given That [Every Courtesy Wilt 1 Be Given The Emperor By The Foreign Troope—The Integrity of the Chinese Empire le Seriously Threatened. Pekin,. April 15.—KomuuA Yutaro. the Japanese minister, accompanied by General Yamaguchi, the Japanese commander, recently called upon Prince Ching and notified him that the return of Emperor Kwang Sn to Pekin was urgently desired. Prince Ching was informed that the emperor’s wishes would be respected by the foreign troops and that every courtesy would be shown him. It was pointed out to the Chinese plenipotentiary that the emperor’s return was of the highest possible importance as affecting the maintenance of the integrity of the Chinese empire, and that he should come accompanied by every available soldier, by at least 20,000 men if possible. These troops, it was further contended by the Japanese minister, must be sent into Manchuria. as the Russians reported great disturlianees there, and it was not right that the task of quelling the trouble should be thrown upon the shoulders of one nation. Finally Prince Ching was assured that, if the 20,000 Chinese troops could not suppress tlie disorders in Manchuria, other powers would send an international force to eo-operate with China, which all the powers regarded as a friendly power. No reply having been received to tills communication. Li Hung Chang was yesterday notified to the same effect and told that Emperor Kwang Su must give au immediate answer. The preparations which the Japanese here are making for an early , start indicate that they expect war between Russia and Japan. Vessels arriving at Taku from Nagasaki report 1 the mobilization of the Japanese fleet 1 and the continuance of preparations on board ship for the anticipated ■ struggle. 1 Prince Ching says all bis reports go to sliow that the missionary state1 ments regarding a rebellion in Mont golia are not supported by the facts, r Neither does he believe that tile rebellion of General Tung Fu Hsiang - amounts to much. t “It is the object of certain ele- ' ments.” he asserts, “to make it seem that China is in a condition of constant broil, rendering it unsafe for ’ the foreign troops to be withdrawn. Those who have this in view will mag1 nify a village quarrel into a big re--1 bellion. The missionaries, naturally timid, take these reports in good ' faith.” The conduct of the ministers of the powers over the negotiations with the Chinese plenipotentiaries causes much , adverse comment among the military ( authorities. Their dilatory tactics ( i have prevented what might have been , accomplished two mouths ago. Even now the meetings of the ministers are posfjtoned for the most trivial causes. For instance, the desire of one minister to go on a picnic to the 1 tombs of the Ming dynasty prevented 1 the holding of a meeting for a number ’ of days. Then M. De Giers and other 1 ministers insisted upon celebrating I Easter, and thus a week was consumed. In a third case an ttnneces- ‘ sary visit by one minister to Tien Tain ( held up the negotiations for four days. These arc fair illustrations of what ! has been almost continuous from tlie , beginning. 1 NOW CARDINAL MARTINELLI Papal Delegate to the United States [ Gets His Red Hat. 1 Rome, April Hi. 4 the consistory > held yesterday Archbishop Martinelli, ' the papal delegate to the United 1 States, was preconized a cardinal. Eleven other cardinals were created. 1 The pope expressed great affliction at 1 tue simultaneous revival in several parts of Europe of hostilities against the church. He also spoke witli sadness of the law against religious associations in France, which had not deserved such a calamity. The pontiff also dwelt on the inconI slstency of a country which claims I liberty for all. while refusing even the existence of aswx-iatfons, whose meniIters made a profession of practicing the precepts of the gospel. The pope alluded to the painful position in ■which the papacy was kept, and reInferred particularly to tlie divorce bill, which will probably be submitted to parliament. Molen Gold Recovered. Bremen, April 15.—The three gold bars stolen from the specie room of , the North German Lloyd line steamer Kaiser Wilhelm dcr Grosse during the vessel’s last trip from New York, were discovered Saturday behind a cornice In the corridor, outside of the second-class saloon, by Steward Mayers while he was cleaning the ship. The police have reopened their in- , vest igut ions.

Forty Cents Almoat the Cauie of at Catastrophe. Before Mrs. Browley was married she scoffed at the misguided girls and women who kept personal accounts. Her argument was that if you know how mueb money you had and It was all gone what was the use of piling ou the anguish by having your folly and extravagance in black and white to stare you In the face, especially as you had no more money at the end of the month than you had without an account book? But since she has been running a house she has achieved not one but nearly a dozen account books. There is one devoted to the grocery man, another to the butcher, personal accounts take a third, and so on till she spends nearly all her glad young life balancing sums. It is a mutter of pride with her that they shall come out even, and so there was woe last month when 40 cents refused to be accounted for. She and Mr. Efowley had a grave and lengthy discussion over the missing 40. Each accused the other of frivoling the sum away and neglecting to enter it on tlie proper book, "Sundries.” Mr. Browley Insisted strenuously he was n<>- guilty. Mrs. Browley looked pained and urged him to confess. He left for Gown town vowing vengeance. It was late that afternoon when Mrs. Browley was entertaining a roomful of aristocratic callers that a telegraph boy appeared. The maid brought in the fatal yellow envelope, and at once the bride knew her husband had been fatally injured and was sending for her. Some one revived her with smelling salts, a lady in purple velvet fanned her with a hastily snatched lump shade, and a third visitor with more presence of mind than the rest opened the telegram. The message read: "Honest, now, what did you do with that 40 cents?”—Chicago News. The Breton Pennant. If there is a country where the tradition of hatred of "the Englishman” as a hereditary enemy still holds it is in Catholic Brittany. In the eyes of the Breton peasants and fishermen the Englishman is the enemy with whom they have fought battles and will fight them again. That Is to say, the Englishman stands for the typical sailor of a man-of-war or torpedo boat, whom they will fight when the time comes for the attack, but no one thinks of him as a man. The enemy Is a unit of war, something outside ordinary life, a being in uniform whom it is glorious to kill. He is “the enemy”—something which will do great mischief to France if one does not take care, something which must be much more terrible and dangerous than they can imagine, since a r . the men of France lose the best years of their youth in learning to kill this eventual adversary. If ever the peasants come clearly to realize that the only utfe of war is to kill people like themselves: if ever each soldier becomes capable of imagining what the shock of two armies is and by what complicated series of Iles and intrigues peoples are brought to the point of killing each other, the work of peace congresses will be wonderfully simplified.—Contemporary Review. Rendlna n. a Core. The practice of reading aloud at regular Intervals Is of great benefit to any one affected with a chest complaint. In all cases of lung trouble it is Important to indulge in those exercises by which the chest is in part tilled or emptied of air, and reading aloud, singing and whistling arc three of those exercises. There are many who cannot sing, and we do not expect the fair sex to whistle, but rending aloud can be practiced by all. Care must be taken not to overdo it, of course, and the body should lie in such a position as to allow tbe chest to have free play. Reading aloud, if we pay attention to what we are doing, will not only be benefleial from the standpoint of health, but will also have tlie effect of making us better speakers by teaching us proper modulations of the voice and by Increasing our knowledge. This is where It has the advantage over whistling and singing. AltOKether Different. Suitor—l have cutue to ask you for your daughter's baud.
