An old miner, who has experienced ex-
blossoms, thus describes them: AS soon as
the explosion occurs, it drives like a whirl-
wind, and with force enough to carry any
weight before it in the direction of the near
est vent. In going it sweeps along the
ceiling, tearing away props, brattces, and
everything else-even the pillars of coal.
The unfortunate miner who may be within
its influence instinctively throws himself fiat
upon the ground. Before he can rise, the
in an opposite direction. They come to-
gether with an elastic shock sufficient to
change the direction of the gaseous tornado,
and back 1t comes with rush, lifting the
miner and finging him probably q distance
of fifty feet against the ragged coal. Be-
hind again there is stock of pure air and
foul, and again the gas whirls back with
undiminished fury, lifting the miner once
more, and dashing him back whence he
originally came. Again and again this tel
rible game of battledore is repeated.
Nothing can resist its inpetuosity. Mean
while the terrible after damp accumulates
with surprising rapidity. This is composed
OF the black damp which hangs from the
roof, and the white damp which gathers
along the floor. 1t joins the gas at every
rush, and adds power and volume to its
fury. The helpless miner struggles with
superhuman strength to resist the buffeting
OF the mine tiend, but now the damp begins
to seize upon his senses The sensation is
not unpleasant. He feels slight dizziness.
He becomes weak and sleepy. He staggers.
His knees suddenly loose their power. and
he falls.

at London parties in "red shirt and top

but the outer one which concealed it was, on

Keeping to One Thing i.

We earnestly entreat every young man
after he has chosen his vocation to stick to
it. Don't leave it because hard blows are
to be struck or disagreeable work per-
formed. Those who have worked their
way up to wealth and usefulness do not
belong TO the shiftless and unstable class,
but may be reckoned among such as took
off their coats. rolled up their sleeves, con-
quered their prejudiees against labor and
manfully bore the heat and burden of the
day. Whether upon the old farm where
our fathers toiled diligently, striving to
bring the soil to productiveness; in the
machine shop or factory, or the thousand
other business places that invite honest
toll and skill, let the motto ever be: "Per-
severance and industry" Stick to one thing,
boys, and you will have success.-The
Young Folks Ratrdl.

Ezra stIle, Gannett, D. d.

From the New fork 1lmeS.l
Our Geographic dispatches state that
among the victims of the terrible railroad
accident in Massachusetts, on Saturday
evening, was Rev. Ezra Stiles Gannett, the
well-kpown Unitarian minister. The sud
den and untimely death of DIR. Gannett
will cause great sorrow in the church OF
which he was so bright a light, as well as
in other Christian denominations, so well
was he known as an earnest preacher and
devoted Christian.
DR.. Gannett was born in Cam bridge,
Massachusetts, May A, 1901, being. there
fore, in the seventeen year of his lie when
so suddenly summoned TO his eternal rest.
He studied at Phillips Academy, IN And
over, and at the early age of fifteen entered
Harvard College in 1916, graduating with
honor in 1870. He studied during the three
following years in the Divinity School, at
Cambridge, receiving ordination June 81,
1924, as colleague of William Ellery Chan
ming. From that time for period of over
thirty years he continued as pastor of the
Federal street church, in Boston, being
only once absent from his pulpit during
two years. residence in Europe Tor
his health. OF late years he has
been pastor of the Arlington street
church, the former editce being aban-
doned to make way for improvements. He
published many of his leading discourses at
the solicitation of his community, and II adj
dition to his pastoral labors found time 10
edit the Monthly Miscellany from 1874 to
1S49. He was also at one time associated
with DR.. II. Lamson, in the. care of the
Christian Examiner, the leading periodical
of the Unitarian denomination in the United
States. During his long and useful life, DR..
Gannett was among the foremost in all re-
ligious and benevolent enterprises of his de-
nomination, and he held deservedly high
rank for devotion to pastoral duty, fervid
eloquence and conservative theological ten
denotes. No man. was more highly re-
spected or more tenderly loved, and he
passed through life with apparent pleasure
in aiding the distressed. As deep thinker
and conscientious theologian, DR.. Gannett
had few equals, and his reputation will
long survive him.

LITTLE MISCHIEF.

Blue eyed Little Mischief"
Needs no other name;
Sure am I, for nothing else
To this world she came.
From the early dawnins
To the set of sun,
All the house is ringing
With her merry fun.
If she stops one minute,
As if sore perplexed,
TITS with the grave question
What can do next "
And YOU may be certain.
When you hear no sound,
That in some new trouble
She will soon be found.
Bke-eyed Little Mischief,
Though she plaques rs SO,
Is precious darling,
AS you well may know;
And | would not have her,
Even If could,
Always still and stupid,
And so very good.
