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.

Scanlan kept his seat and used his

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

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

(Washington Correspondence.)
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

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

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

every daily Democratic newspaper in

in the inaugural address of Major Mc

with the new tariff bill points again

Secretary Carlisle were issuing bcndi

that they were demanded for the pur

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

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

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.

GREAT PROBLEM FOR WOMEN.
It Can Be Solved If Women Will Work

But I do say this: that scores of wo

the solution of matters nearer home.
Women can solve this domestic prob

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

Tho surplus wheat of Kansas is
found to be superior to corn as a stock

crop of 1893 was used as feed for farm
animals. That crop has become a

feeding of all classes of stock there.

by bleaching their hair and powder
ing their faces, to conceal from them

they are growing old. The fortune

it were not lucrative. There is no

Mack progress before tha victim la
aware of ita existence. It Is. there
fore, with great pleasure we commend
to our readers the recent discovery
la East India cf .the Kava-Kava shrub,
which has proved a most powerful
remedy for diseases of the kidneys,
rheumatism, or other ailments caused
by uric acid in tho blood. The cures
wrought by this new remedy are indeed
most-remarkable. Many who have suff
ered from the most severe forms of the
disease, have been completely cured In
from twenty to forty days by the
Kava-Kava shrub. In the New York
Weekly World of Sept. 10th, the testi
mony of Itev. W. B. Moore, D. D., of
Washington. D. C, was given, describ
ing his years of suffering from Kidney
disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid
cure by Alkavis. Rev. John H. Wat
son of Sunset, Texas, a minister of tho
gospel of thirty years service, was
struck down at his post of duty by
Kidney disease. After hovering be
tween lifo and death for two months,
and all his doctors having failed, he
took Alkavis, and was completely re
, stored to health and strength and is
fulfilling his duties as minister of the
gospel. Mr. R. C. Wood, a prominent
attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cur
ed of Rheumatism. Kidney and Blad
der disease of ten years standing by
Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes himself
as being in constant misery, often com
pelled to rise ten times during the
night on account of weakness of the
bladder. He was treated by all his
home physicians without the least
benefit and finally completely cured In
a few weeks by Alkavis. The testi
mony is undoubted and really wonder
ful. Any of our readers who are so un
fortunate as to suffer from Kidney dis
orders or Rheumatism should write to
the Church Kidney Cure Co., of 422

was about the sizo of a half dollar,
had been sent tho mother of the
child by a relative living in the
South, and tho boy was playing wih
it, putting it in his mouth after the
peculiar fashion of children. The
mother heard the child gasping for
breath, and running to it saw that
some hard object haa becomo lodged
in its upper throat. A doctor was
hurriedly summoned, and after somo
difficulty succeeded in gotting hold
of the obstruction, and drew it forth

The lata Hoary de Mille, who eel
lahorated with David Belaaeo ia a
atuaber of plays, need to tell.taia
story, says tho Sua: "I once had aa
opportunity, ia a play Dave aal I
had written, to make use of the third
verse of Psalm xciv., 'Lord, how Jon?
shall the wicked, how long shall tha
wioked triumph? The actor who
had this to speak came to ine at re
hearsal, one day, and ebjectod to tho
line, which he said ha considersd
very weak. Ho concluded his objec
tions by asking if I was 'stuck' oa
tho line. I said I rather liked tho
line, but had no personal interest ia
it, as in this instanco I was only aa
adapter, tho lino being David's.
David's, eh? exclaimed the actor;
"that's just xhat I thought- Any
one could spot that for some of Dave

MUtahea Kindness to a Croeoillla.
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.
