WHEREABOUTS OF AUNT MARY i
Her Nephew Knew , But Then He
Was Well Trained. ,
The story told by 1\Iarle Twain the
other day about the estimate of .Tohn
Flslw , t.he historian , of two of his chil-
dren's aunts , brought forth an illustration -
tration of the reasons for that opinion. I
1\1ark Twalns story was that when :
1\1rs. Flslw ono day went to her husband -
band in horror and reported that his' '
'oung son had said that Aunt Mary
was "a fool" and Aunt Martha "a l1-n
.fool , " the historian replied , after careful -
ful consideration , " 'V ell , that i about
the distinction I should malw. "
A man in the audience , who Imew
both the aunts , after the meeting told
this :
Aunt Martha was one of the strictest -
est disciplinarians I hayo ever Imown.
She demandell chiefiy obedience of
JtCr children , instant , upquestlong , silent -
lent obedience , and she usually got it.
One afternoon as she was worldng in
her sewing room n. great storm came
up , and she s nt her son John to close
the trap door leading to the fiat roof
of the Queen Anne cottage.
"But , mamma- " said John.
"John , I told 'ou to shut the trap. "
"Yes , but ma- " "
"John , shut that trap ! "
"All right , mamma , if you say so ,
but-It
"John ! "
John slowly climbed the stairs and
shut the t.rap. The afternoon wont b '
and t.he storm howled and raged ,
Three hours later the family gathered
for dinner , and when the meal was
half over and Aunt 1\1ary had not ap-
ll ared , Aunt Martha started nn In-
vestigation. She did not have to asl ; :
many questions , John answered her i
first one. ,
"Please , mamma , she is up on the. .
roof. "

Beware of Discouraging Industry and
Integrity.
A Hawk that had a dexterous way
of throwing three cards about ono
day met n Hen and invited her to bet
on his game.
"But I don't undC1'stand it , " protested -
'
ed the Hen.
"Wh ' , all there is about It , I toss ,
these three cards so and so , and you
bet that you can pick out the ace of
spades , for examI11e. "
"Yes , but r don't want to talm your
money. "
"Oh , as to that , 'ou are quito wel.
come-quite so. "
"Then here goes a ton that I pick
the ace. "
The Hawk smiled as he thought
how easj' It was to throw snuff in n
Hen's ej'es , but 10 ! Biddy plclted out
the card she had named and ralced
In the sugar.
"I'll be hanged if 'm not completely
discouraged trying to malee an honest
livIng ! " cried the Hawk , as he fiung
the cards awa ' in disgust ; and he
thoreuPcm not only turned robber , but
ute the Hen to boot.

MINES OF THE SHAFT VARIETY.
'ome at Courrleres Extended Far Into
the Ground.
Coal mines are divided Inlo two
1.lnds , the drift mine and the shnft
mine. 'I'ho drirt mine ! dug into the
. : > ide of the .hlll nnd extends by very
slow degrees down\\'nrd. 'rho conI is
hrought to the slIrfaco in lIttle cnrs
dl'l\wn on narrow gauge mils by don.
lcys. :
These mines sometimes extenll in.
wnrd for over a mlle in one direction.
The COllrriere8 mlncs 111'0 mostly of
the shaft. variety , howevor. S0ll10 of
these .shafts are very deop. On the
, dn ) ' of the explosion men were henrd
, cn11lnltfor , help from a depth of nenrly
Imlt 1mile. . ,
'rho miners in Frnnce do not use
the' snfety Inmps that many mining' '
concerns In the United States now
cOllll1el their employcs to uBo. These
Inmps nre little meta1Jlc oll.burning
affnirs nffixed to the miners' hnts. The
fiamo ignites from a cotton wiclt , and
fwlll burn hour niter hour.
Not even the eternnl vigllanco of
'the fire boss can prevent n holocnust
if the miners themselves become care- .
less.
In the Courrlores mines there nre a
great many condemned "pockets , " as ,
the ' are called. The so pocleots nt ono
tlmo or another become filled with
'fire damp nnd the miners were warned
not to go nenr them.
Ono rumor as to the cause of the
oxploslon is that a miner , either care.
less or ignorant of what he was do.
ing , pened a condemned poclcet , mistaking -
taking it for an nil' c111\mber. In such
a case there would bo nn instantan .
ous explosion. The detonation would
cause the other pockets to explode
and' the explosions would continuo
while there was any fire damp in the
mIne.
'rhe topography of the strlcleen dls.
trict Is very irregull1r and very much
resembles that of Allegheny county ,
Pa , The district is thlcldy populated ,
and but a few miles ollt of the line
of travel of the multitude of tourIsts
who throng northern Franco every
'ear.
The .mining population is not made
up prIncipally of Frenchmen any moro
than the mining population in the
United States Is made up of Amori-
cans. Poles nnd HungarIans , as well
as a liberal sprinkling of Itnllans and
Russians , for the most part maleo np

man empress Is tall , and that is why
the' ' Icniser will never consent to be
