A new method of shot firing in mines has been evolved by a working miner, consisting of a hollow brass or copper needle, to be inserted in the cartridge containing the charge. The shot is rammed in the usual way, but the detonator is not inserted in the charge until the stemming is completed. By means of a thin copper rod, tipped with bard paper, the detonator is passed up the hollow needle and placed in the cured by aspring. Should a detonator prove defective and the shot fail to explode, it is stated that the faulty detonator can be withdrawn and another substituted. By the employment of this device it is claimed thatthe element of danger is almost entirely removed, for no second hole where a . text book, It is unbiased and. unprejA MATTER OF OPINION.

Bell, a highly esteemed minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga county, N. Y.,ina recent letter writes as foliows: “There has uever been anything that I have taken that has relieved the Dyspepsia from which I have suffered for ten years except the} new remedy called stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Since takipg them I have had no distress at all after eating and in after long years CAN SLEEP WELL.” —Rev. F. EL Bell, Weedsport, N. Y., formerly Idalia, Colo. ‘ Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is a remarkable remedy, not only because it is a certain cure for all kinds of indigestion,-but because it seems to act as thoroughly in oid chronic cases of Dys-pepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness. A person snas Dyspepsia simply because the -stemach is overworked, all it wants is 2 harmless, vegetable remedy to digest the foed and thus give it the much mevded rest. This is the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how disordered the digestion mey be, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy is given not only to the stomach but to every organ and nerve in the body. A trial of this wonderful medicine will convince. the most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cured. ~ ‘The tablets are prepared by the Stuart Ohemical Co, of Marshall, Mich., but so popular has the remedy become that Siuart’s.
