The question whether or not the use of natural gas is safe, as now conduct- We do not know of any places in the ed, is being agitated in Pittsburg. Many persons Irving along the routes of the pipe say that it is only a ques- tion of time when the people will be horrified by a disastrous explosion. The same unrealized fears prevailed when the artificial gas was introduced. The development of the lumber - manufacturing business in many parts of the South is remarkable. From South Kentucky to Chattanooga, Tenn., is an extended and vast line of saw- mills and stave, spoke and handle - factories. Large numbers of people are crowding into that region, of which the town of Dayton, Tenn., is the active business center.

A class of native Californians are sometimes employed in winomaking, though not in large numbers. Chinamen are con- siderably used, both in gathering - grapes and in making wine, thought they do little more than feed the stem- mors and assist in placing the crushed grapes in the presses. California wine is made universally in this state by a very simple process,and with very few exceptions by the aid of; patent ma- chinery. The grapes are first passed through Stemmer, which removes the stems affej, breaks the skins. They are then put into a press and hydraulic power is applied' till the juice is all out.

Bags, Could the crocodile have spoken, ho would probably have cried out: "Foul play! two against one!" As it was he showed his disgust plainly enough by his savage snortings and the furioue lashings of its pon^teroas tail, till, find- ing that its enemy was not to be shaken oil, he plunged suddenly under the water. Man and beast went down in a whirling eddy, tate ripples of which were dark with blood. A cry of dismay burst from the crowd that had gathered upon the bank, as they saw the brave Arab disappear. But all at once the water began to heave and bubble as if some fierce struggle was going. on in the depths below, and then the Mussulman's lean, dark face rose to tho surface, upon which, a moment later, the crocodile's mighty bulk floated limp and dead, slain by a. mortal stab in the throat. "Aferin, ya habioil (Well done, my friend) cried the Englishman, as the conqueror struggled ashore. "Here are twenty piastres (fifty cents) for you. if you can accept the gift of an unbeliever." "No matter for that, effendi," (gen tleman), replied the Arab, with a grin. tying up the coins in the greasy waist - coast which was his only clothing. "You may be an unbeliever, but your money is true Mohammedan." Complaint is made that early mar- riages are becoming common among the boys and girls in the east end of London.
