An Air Bas; for Coat Miner. A lately invented air bag has been given a practical test in the deep anthracite coal mines of Pennsylvania, and has proved a succoss. The ap paratus consists of an air bag, an appliance to hold the nose shut and a battery and small inrandescent lamp. The air bag is made of stout canvas, worn on the back and fasten ed under the arm. From the top of the bag a rubber hose runs to the wearer's mouth. The air is inhaled from the bag and expelled through the nostrils. The battery is strapped about the person, aad the lamp is pinned to the coat. After a big ex plosion, when it is dangerous to enter u mine owing to the rapid collection of fire-damp, rescuers can be fitted out with the air bags and enter the pit without any ill effects. Rtifcincss and That Only. Charles S. Scanlan, of the Cincin nati Enquirer John R. McLean's paper was once sent into a small town in the .outhwest, says tho Journalist, to get the story of a wo man evangelist who had been greatly talked about Scanlan attended one of her meetings, and occupied a front scat. When thoso who wished to bo paved were asked to arise, Scanlan kept his seat and used his note-book. The woman approached, and, taking him by tho hand, said: Come to Jesus." Madam," said tho newspaper man, "I'm here solely on business to report your work." "Brother," she said, "there is no business so important as God's." Well, maybe not," said Scanlan; "but you don't know John McLean." Tn tlic south t'ole. Dr. John Murray's proposed expe dition lo tho South polo is attracting favorable attention in Europe. It is more than fifty years since James Wots, aflcr discovering Victoria, penetrated to the 7Sth degree south latitude, and since then, with tho exception of the Challenger, hardly a vessel has gono that way. Tho present proposal is indirectly due to tho reports brought back by a couple of Scotch whalers which in 1891 went southward of Cape Horn in thoir search for fresh hunting grounds. Dr. Murray believes in the existence at the South pele of a continent as large as Ajstralia, in ivhich arc. to be studied tho two great phenomena of glaciation and volcanic action. Eonie Brief Epitaphs, Tho following are among the brief and curious epitaphs seen in Eu ropean cemeteries: At Worcester, England, the slab erected over a do parted auctioneer is inscribed with a single word, "Gone." At Sussex the initials and date of death of the deceased are followed by two words, "He was.' On the monument of Charlos the Great of Germany the brief inscription is "Caralo Magno." Tho most remarkable one is at Cane Hill cemetery, Belfast, Ireland, where the inscription says: "Left till called for."- of Hires Rootbeer on a sweltering hot day is highly essen tial to comfort and health.

This Is a business administration and a business congress. It has been only two weeks since the meeting of the house of representatives, which is controlled by the Republican party, and in that time has been introduced, dis cussed and passed a new tariff bill, which will bring increased and suffi cient revenue to the government in place of the shortages of the present inefficient Wilson law. This has been quick work. The bill now goes into the hands o( the senate. There it will be considered in. committee and then in the senate, and it is hoped passed and signed by the president in time to begin its operation by July 1, the first day of the fiscal year. Japan Shocks the Free SUverites. Reports from Japan show that she is determined to "crucify" her people "upon a cross of gold." She has adopt ed the gold standard despite the de nials of the silver people. Those who express surprise that Japan is not go ing to throw any of her silver upon the markets of the world.even if she adopts a gold standard, are evidently net fa miliar with the history of the growth of silver currency in the world. The mere adoption of the gold standard has not decreased the silver currency at all. In the United States, for instance, the per capita circulation of silver in 1873 before the adoption of the gold standard was 15 cents, while in 1895, after 21 years of gold standard, k was 18.78. Large Oatpat of Silver. Silver miners and mine ownerswhile they want of course to get as big a price for their produce as possible, rec ognize the fact that the refusal of the United States to adopt a sixteen to one standard is not going to destroy the demand for silver. Silver mine owners who have been here this week report that their mines are not only still run ning, but turning out unusually large quantities of the white metal, and that the improved financial conditions and business activity which have followed the election of McKinley are having their effect upon the mining industry, and the demand for the product of the silver mines. The Sagar Trust Suffers-. The greatest sufferer under the new Dingley law will be the sugar trust. Its framers were wise enough to avoid the criticism and the scandal which attached to the Wilson bill and no man has successfully charged or can charge that the present bill is framed in the interests of the trusts. A Farmer's Tariff. The New York Press characterizes the Dingley bill as the "first farmers' tariff." "The Republican party," it adds, "has already placed the factory beside the field, and thus given the field the home market for its products, and now proposes to open the markets of other parts of the world to the field as welL' Brjran'a Paper AnaoBaces Betoraed Pros perity. Copies of that sturdy free silver Dem ocratic paper recently edited by Wil liam J. Bryan, the Omaha World-Herald, which have been received here show that it is rejoiced at the pros pective improvement of the agricultur al industries of its state under McKin ley protection. Quoting in commen datory term3 the recent utterances of the Republican secretary of agriculture it says: "Nebraska has taken into her feed yards since October last more than five hundred thousand sheep to be fin ished for the mutton markets of the world. The state of Nebraska can safely he set down as the best district of the country in the United States for the mutton sheep industry in all its combined iequirements. Nebraska is certain to become a popular.prosperous mutton growing and mutton feeding state." All this, be it remembered, the World-Herald promises under the new plans of the Republican adminis tration, which is giving its earliest at tention to a protective tariff as the chief aid to the sheep industry of the country. Increased Railroad Construction. McKinley prosperity is making itself apparent in many industries, but in none more prominently than in that of railroad construction. The "Rail way Age," a conservative journal, es timates that the railway construction of the United States in 1S97 will be 17, 500 miles, which, by the way, is more than twice as much as was accom plished during President Cleveland's entire term. If this estimate is real ized, the railway construction of the United States in 1897 will exceed that of any period in the past decade. Good Outlook for Farmers. The farmers of the United States are likely to have an increased market for their productions at an early date. The "reciprocity features of the Diugley bill are expected to open a good many markets which are now closed to our agricultural products. In addition to that it is expected to give to the United States such special advantages over other countries in certain markets .as to give our farmers practically a mon opoly of the trade in those parts of the world. The average exportation of ferm products during the past five years has been 621 millions per annum, of which amount 243 milllons,or nearly 57 per cent, has gone to Great Britain, all other parts of the world taking but 43 per cent of our exports. This shows the possibilities open to the farmers in the matter of making for themselves as good a market in other parts of the world as they already have in Great Britain. , . Coaaaaeadatloa for the Xew Secretary. Secretary Wilson's new plans for an intelligent distribution of seeds to the farmers of the country and a di versification of industries is meeting with universal commendation. Dem ocratic as well as Republican papers approve it in unmeasured terms. The Atlanta Journal, owned by ex-secretary of the interior Hoke Smitb, comments favorably upon the new secretary's new plans in regard to the farmers, and numerous other Democratic papers join in the commendation of Secretary Wil son's work. Will Retara to the Old System. The Republicans of the house of rep resentatives are going to try and get back to the old system of placing the appropriation bills in the hands of one committee. The free trade Democ racy adopted the pres-eat system by which the bills are distributed to a half dozen committees, and the result has been the enormous increase in ap propriations which the nation wit nessed with astonishment in the past few years. Tha fonMrm, aad win ti tatJ tarn of aoMMMay aa rajialy i ta aya- VMS. Ex-Congressaaam Wilsoa, tka aatkor of the Wilsoa law, aaving baea rap diated first by his own district, aad then by his nation, has now no f onus from which to address the dear people, and is therefore utilizing the columns of the newspapers to disseminate his views, and attack the Dlnglajc-bill. His latest attack upon it has been aa as sertion that its reciprocity features would be a failure. In all the matter which Mr. Wilson has presented in the way of an attack upon the Dingley bill, he has not been able to successfully de fend the law which he himself framed or to make satisfactory explanation of its failure. This is a subject which he avoids in his tariff discussions at so much per column. 3. H. WILLIAMS. XcKlaley Pepalar la tha Seath. Macon, Ga., March 3. Theslngular spectacle is presented here today of every daily Democratic newspaper in the state prasing the advent into pow er as well as the sentiments expressed in the inaugural address of Major Mc Kinley. All unite in the declaration that there has been too much legislative wrangling over business matters, and that President McKinley should, have an honest chance and sympathetic co operation in bringing about uurh changes as will divorce business from the baneful influence of politics. (N Y. Press, special.) Baaiaeas Bevlral la tha Seath. "The South was never in so good condition to profit by a general revival of industty and trade as now. Our people are well out of debt. They have learned how to make their great country self-sustaining in ihe rutter of food materials. Our cities are gen erally in good physical condition, arrl will need to expend very little foi streets and drainage, for many yearr to come. Their mercantile and man ufacturing people are m bound condi tion, the weak have gone to the hoard, the unfit have gone into other call ings. (Chattanooga Times-Democrat.) Democratic Banco Game Exposed. The report which Mr. Dingley filed with the new tariff bill points again the bunco game which the late Demo cratic administration practiced upo. the people. When Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle were issuing bcndi the people were given to understand that they were demanded for the pur pose of maintaining the gold rescrv which was being depleted by the Wait street speculators and money sharks e-ery where. It was alleged that tbes money operators were deliberatel. working the "endless chain" furnishe- by the greenbacks, and a great de.i of business denunciation was expend ed upon the men who were supposes to be engaged in rifling the treasury of their own country for the profit which would arise from the handling of bonds which must be issued to keep the reserve intact. Mr. Dingley's report shows that the deficiency in the gold reserve was caused by a deficiency in the revenues, and was not therefore the consequence of a conspiracy to profit the working of the "endless chain." Kansas City Journal. Improving Baslaess Conditions. With the advent of spring there is a decidedly better feeling in commercia. circles, which trade journals are advis ing enterprising business men to -take advantage of in an active way. The Chicago Dry Goods Reporter of Satur day's date says the most important fact of the hour is the brightening outlook. The most timely advice it can give tc the merchants of the west is to repeat: The moment has come for pushing ycur business. "Things have taken :; turn. Satisfactory trade conditions an slowly but surely being called back The new administration is in power, and the new policy has been satisfac torily indicated. A special session of congress has been convened to put in force the wishes of the people as rapid ly as possible." "Now," it says, "let u-: make up our minds to concentrate all cur energies, faculties and attention upon our legitimate business. There is no surer way than this for wiping out the last remnant of business stag nation." These terse sentences com prise the key-notes of a very hopeful article. A Cheerlafr Record. The record of the' past week is cheering. The number of works that have resumed business is greater than in any week since the last of Novem ber. It is true that in many cases contracts have been secured at unduly low prices, and that therefore the rate of wages is not as high as it was in 1892; but there is "bread for the eat er," and this of itself is an improve ment. The first step forward must be a resumption of work; wages will rise as the demand for labor increases. It is not likely that we can return quick ly to the prosperity that the nation en joyed four years ago; it ha3 taken fbur years to destroy; reconstruction can not be accomplished in as many months. After the new tariff law has been in operation for a yeir we may pass judgment upon the present ad ministration with some degree of fair ness; not earlier than then. Chicago Inter-Ocean. President and Press. President McKinley is the first of our chief magistrates to give distinct recognition to the press as an import ant factor in our national life. Always ready to receive the representatives of the press, he has now made a strik ing departure in the recognition of that force. This he has done by inviting the dress representatives in Washing ton to call upon him in a body. Of course the representatives went, and of course they found the same old friend they had known as a representative in congress, as the governor of his state, as a candidate for his party nom ination, as his party's .nominee for president, and last as the president elect. The relations between William MeKinleyand the representatives of the press have always been cordial, in some cases close. He is quoted as say ing that from the time he entered on his presidential campaign up to the present he has never hesitated to talk confidentially with newspaper men, and in but one case has his confidence been betrayed. Wheeling Intelligencer. The Republicans and Populists of Kansas agree that the legislature which has. just adjourned was a dis graceful failure. In fact, the legisla ture is disposed to join in the agree ment itself. Official statistics show that them were ten million fewer sheep in thi country .Tan.-1, 1897. than on Jan. 1, 1S93. The Republican party proposes to give the American sheep a chance for its life. WHAT THE MINE BOSS KNOWS. aCeHtery Maaattsrta .ef tha The aabjects, la addition to the three K'a, which intending colliery manag ers ahoald eadeavor to get a thorough kaawledge of, says Science and Art ia Training, are as follows: 1. Geolo gy, which gives them a knowledge of the rocks forming the earth and the formations in which coal is found; also of the faults, dikes, washouts, etc, which interrupt the continuation of coal seams. 2. Boring and sinking, a knowledge of which is required in open ing new royalties and in searching for coal seams that have been disclosed by faults, etc. 3. The practical working of mines, which enables them to lay out a mine on the most advantageous sys tems of working, hauling and drainage. 4. Principles of mechanics, which ena bles them to know the strength of beams, girders, ropes and chains re quired for different kinds of work; also the horse power of engines required for winding, hauling and pumping cer tain quantities of water. 5. Steam, com pressed air by electricity; the properties of steam and the principles of the steam engine enable them to use steam economically and to the best advant age and to superintend the erection of engines and be a help to them in pur chasing new engines; compressed air, which enables them to know the ad vantage of it over steam for driving, drilling and coal-cutting machines; electricity, so that they . may know something of the advantages of electric signaling and lighting and of the trans mission of power for long distances. 6. Mine ventilation, gases, coal dust. lighting of mines, explosives and blast ing; a thorough knowledge of these, if 'properly carried out, insures the safe working of a mine and will considera bly reduce the causes of explosions. 7. Surveying, because the manager is re sponsible for the plans to be pro duced to the inspector and for his work ings trespassing into other royalties and for leaving sufficient coal under surface erections, etc. 8. The coal mines regulation act, which should be well understood to comply with the act in all its details for safety. 9. And last, but not least, he must study man kind, so as to be able to deal properly with and manage men of all shades of opinion. GREAT PROBLEM FOR WOMEN. It Can Be Solved If Women Will Work Together. Discussing the solution of "Women's Most Vexing Problem" domestic serv iceIn the Ladies' Home Journal, Ed ward W. Bok Insists that, "first of all, women must drop a lot of outside problems with which they are at pres ent grappling, but which, after all, on ly indirectly concern them. Important they may be, in a general sense, but not one-hundredth part.as important as is this problem which is exclusively theirs. Foreign missions, the ballot, the higher education of women, good government, the amelioration of the poor it will be well enough for women to labor for all these causes when their own more immediate problems are set tled. The servant-girl problem is far more important at present than any of these. Other problems are general in their effects: this one strikes at the very heart of the American home. We do not begin to realize how intimately associated is- this problem with our happiness. It concerns every man, wo man and child. But true charity be gins at home, and we have heathens in a few of our kitchens who need civiliz ing and educational influences just as much as do the natives of India's coral strand. I have nothing to say against woman's work in foreign missionary societies, good government clubs, or charity organizations of whatever sort. But I do say this: that scores of wo men are employing efforts in those di rections which ought to be employed in the solution of matters nearer home. Women can solve this domestic prob lem if they will. But they must get to gether and work unitedly. If they do I venture to say that in a year or two there will be no such thing as the servant-girl problem, for it will have been solved." WHIPPING POST IN BOSTON. Even Women Were Xot. Snared Public Chastisement. Alice Morse Earle, in an article on "Punishments of Bygone Days," in the Chap-Book, after giving John Taylor the Water Poet's rhymed description of corporal punishment in London, ex plains how rapidly flogging came into use in Boston. The whipping post was speedily in full force in Boston. At the session of the court held -Nov. 30, 1630, one man was sentenced to be whipped for stealing a loaf of bread, another for shooting fowl on the Sab bath, another for swearing, another for leaving a boat "without a pylott." Then we read of John Pease that for "stryk ing his mother and deryding her he shalbe whlpt." Lying, swearing, tak ing false toll, perjury, selling rum to the Indians all were punished by whipping. Pious regard for the Sab bath was fiercely upheld by the sup port of the whipping post In 1643 Roger Scott, for "repeated sleeping on the Lord's day" and for striking the person who waked him from his god less slumber, was sentenced to be-severely whipped. Women were not spared public chastisement. "The gift of prophecy" was at once subdued in Boston by lashes, as was unwomanly carriage. How She Knew. A Memphis woman observed that her husband, when "questioned, always promptly replied that he had mailed her letters and it occurred to her that he remembered too promptly. In or der, therefore, to test his ..veracity, she asked him a few days ago: "Did you mail my letter, Jim?" "Oh, yes," he answered at once, with out taking his eye from the paper he was reading. "You are sure you mailed it?" she said, smiling rather curiously at him. "Of course I did," he answered, look ing up. "Oh, no, you didn't," said she. "I know you didn't." "I'd like to know how you can tell whether I did or not," he said. "Easy enough," she replied, with a triumphant smile. "I never gave yoj any letter to mail." Memphis Com mercial' Appeal. -The Gold aad SlUer Gospels." "The Gold and Silver Gospels" is the name of a very peculiar book now pre served in the Upsala library in Swe len.

Tho surplus wheat of Kansas is found to be superior to corn as a stock food. Nearly one-sixth of the wheat crop of 1893 was used as feed for farm animals. That crop has become a very- important factor in the grain feeding of all classes of stock there. I J is superior to any other feed for the fattening of hogs. Fowls prefer it to any other grain and it is unsur passed as a promoter of egg produc tion. Tho Kansas farmers are highly pleased with their experiments in tho use of it. FOOLISH WOMEN. They Stake a Good livlac tor Fartaaa Tellers. It is said by tho detectives of tho central office who occasionally haro to doal with tho fortune-talltn?, hyp notic clairvoyant sharps, that theso tatter gentlemen make thoir living by the skill with which thoy treat the curious maiden ladies of uncer tain ago and the army of stout and middlo-agod women who endeavor, by bleaching their hair and powder ing their faces, to conceal from them selves and tho world the fact that they are growing old. The fortune tellers are men who apparently real ize that there is in this world a largo number of foolish women of mature years, who do not object to paying $3 or $5 vfor having their fortunes told by some of the remarkablo seers who arc doing such a lucrative busi ness just now in this Una Tho fortune-telling sharps are usually moa between 30 and 40 years of age, of an owl-liko air and more or less impressiveness of manner, and they fondlo the hands ol their visitors as they read tho linos after a fashion that would bo ridiculous if it were not lucrative.

The greater part of them are engaged in tho Russian-American trade.

The- superstition of the Hindoo dis played itself in a strange fashion not long ago. Some fishermen at Kidder pore, on tho Hooghly, had captured a crocodile, and being unable to kill it. were compelling it to accompany tbem to the nearest polico station w"ro "running it in," as we say for tho sake of the reward usually offered for such creatures. On tha way a native gentleman met them, and persuaded them, for a bribe to allow the animal to return to the river. In doing this foolish action he argued that, having shown kind ness to it, the crooodilo would not attack him' and his family when they wont to bathe. It Is to be hoped that the pious man possessed more sonse in the water than he owned on shore, elso his life would not bo worth tho purchasing if ho came within reach of that selfsame crocodile.
