The Boots They wear In Mines.

At Worcester, Mass, several manufac
turing firms make speciality of boots
for the mining regions. A long legged
boot made for the Pennsylvania coal mines
by 8. r. Haywood, is in the most durable
piece of furniture ever constructed of
leather and iron. The soles are about
three quarters Of an inch thick, project
ing like the guards of a Mississippi
steamer. The heel also projects nearly a
quarter of an inch, forming quite shelf
near the counter, and are fared at the
bottom. Nails with fat top, about the
size of silver three cent piece, are driven
in as closely as they can be set all over
the sole. shank, and heel, forming, as it
were solid iron bottom.
A miner provided with such pair of
boots, whether blown up, or falling down
a shaft, ought, like cat, to alight upon
his feet. if not so safely, as the boots in
question weigh six and half pounds,
the iron nail contributing one and half
pounds to the weight So carefully are
these boots made to answer the require
ments of the miner that long nails of
Swedish iron are driven through the heel
and shank, clinching on the inner sole
three to the heel aud six to the shank
The sides are closed by hand with six
stranded thread that would hold o two
hundred pound weight.

The theory that the virus Of disease can
be safely counteraoted by dcses Of poison,
is false and dangerous. Within the last
twenty-five years, not less than a score Of
virulent poisons have been added to the
repository Of the medical profession. They
are given in small doses, otherwise they
would destroy life Immediately; but even
in minute quantities. they produce, ulti-
mately, very disastrous effects. It il unwise
and unphilosophical to employ, as remedies
powerful and insidious drugs. which, in
subiugating one disease, SOW the seeds of
another still more unmanageable. None of
these terrible medicaments operates with 80
much directness and certainty upon the
causes of disease as Hostctters Stomach
Bitters, a tonic and corrective, without O
single deleterious ingredient in its conpo-
sition. Arsenic and quinia are given for
intermittents; bromide of potassium for
acid for general debility; mercury, 10

ness and yet these deadly drugs do mo-
compare, as specifies for the diseases above
enumerated, with that wholesome vegetable
invigorant and elterative, while they are al
so pernicious that IL is astonishing any ply
stefan should take the responsibility OF pre-
scribing them. Let invalids. for their own
sakes, try the Bitters before they resort to
the poisons The relief they will experience
from a course Of the harmless specific. will
render recourse to the unsafe preparations
referred to, quite unnecessary.

In an interview had to day with Mrs,
Lincoln, she said to a lady reporter: "It
is my desire to live very quietly, and mol
be talked about. Ny plans are as yet
very indefinite, and I hardly know what
I shall do. If I am able, intend to
go to Chicago tomorrow, or early next
week. where / shalt reside for the pres
ent with my son Robert"
Reporter-Then you do not intend to
return TO Europe2
Mrs. Lincoln--I cannot tell. / may
and / may not. / have enjoyed my
journey abroad exceedingly, and like the
European style of living very much,
but home seems very pleasant, and was
very glad when 1 landed in America
again. We we're treated kindly by the
German people and liked them very
much, although their habits and way OF
living seemed strange to US at fret. We
were very cordially treated among them,
and made many pleasant friends.
Reporter-Did you find that the mem
DRY of your husband was respected
abroad?
Mrs. Lineola-Everywhere his shock
ing death seems to have overcome all
prejudice the people in Europe may have
bad against him for political reasons.
This was, of course, exceedingly graft
flying to US. People spoke of him as If
they honored him greatly. and l know
that the manner of his death made all
persons his friends.
Thad was present during the inter
view. He is young man of middle

A FAITR DocroR IN HIcKMAs.-

and wonderful cures Of certain diseases
