A Lazy, Happy-go-lucky People In a Bankrupt Republic The infusion of Spanish blood and customs Into the Guarani has produced a people with the faults and good qualities of both in about equal parts. Dark of complexion, with strongly marked Indian features, essentially gentle when unrestrained or not tinduly excited, careless of the morrow, poor and honest, hospitable and generous, indolent and uncultured, strongly Catholic in theory, but generally lax in religious performances as to dogmasthis is a rough sketch of the native people 'of Paraguay. Asuncion, the capital,, and even the smaller places Villa Rica, San Pedro, Villa del Pilar, Villa Concepclon have , their aristocratic families, of which the daughters and sons are sent to Europe to be educated and which maintain an exclusiveness that must be almost Isolation. But in general the people mingle readily. In the early morning in the streets of Asuncion the women gather in their long white dresses and barefooted to sell their wares. The younger women, Judged by our standard, are beautiful and from carrying baskets and water jars on their beads have attained an erect and graceful carriage which our young women could well imitate. Besides, when they laugh they show two rows of pearls, and their speech in soft Guarani patois is worth going far to hear. When you see Asuncion you see Par aguay, lor it is tne most advanced city in the republic. Its streets are poorly pared, it has mule cars which run at long Intervals and low speed, and the hotel accommodations are not exceptional, but there is a kind of lazy, happy-go-lucky gayety about the city that represents the national feeling. Paraguay is hard up yes, almost stone broke. The currency is paper and the ralue so small that for a hundred dollars one receives a basketful of ragged stuff, printed in Germany, to represent some nebulous indebtedness of the republic. Gold does not stay long In Paraguay, nor does it often enter the country. Van Nordes Magazine. Joaxsa: Gold Medal Flour Is real economy. Pamzxcal&UUUl ReUeaonratanach.

Ail reliable and experienced EXPLOSIVES. Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and Nitroglycerin. The best way to destroy ordinary black gunpowder is to throw it into a stream under conditions that prevent any harm coming to human beings or animals through the dissolving of the saltpeter. If no suitable stream is available, the gunpowder may be stirred with water In tubs, or the dry gunpowder may be poured out on the ground in a long thin line and ignited with a fuse at one end. To destroy dynamite cartridges the paper wrappings should be carefully removed, the bare cartridges laid in a row wRh their ends In contact and the first cartridge ignited with a fuse with out a cap. Even with these precau tions a simultaneous explosion of the entire mass may occur, so that it is wise to retire to a safe distance. The row of cartridges should be laid paral lel with the wind and ignited at the leeward end, so that the flame will be driven away from the mass. Frozen dynamite should be handled with special care, as its combustion is peculiarly liable to assume an explo sive character. A small quantity of dynamite may be destroyed by throwing it in very small bits into an open fire, or the cartridges may be exploded one by one in the open air with fuses and caps. Dynamite should never be thrown into water, as the nitroglycerin which It contains remains undissolved and capable of doing mischief. Other explosives which" contain nitroglycerin should be treated in the same way as dynamite. Ammonium nitrate explosives may be thrown in small fragments into an open fire or if they do not contain nitroglycerin may be destroyed by means of water. Explosive caps should be exploded singly with pieces of fuse. Scientific American. His Vocabulary. He was an only child.

There was-mnch joyous declamation, and ene orator explained in enthusiastic vand well rounded periods that Atlanta was new the equivalent of a seaport town and able to cope with all rivals. Upon this a Saannahlan, whose native city la the real seaport of Georgia, arose and said with some acerbity, "If you Atlantana were to lay a pipe line to the sea and then suck as hard as you blow you'd be a real seaport In no time at all.
