other forms of wealth created by our
comparatively limited population mean.

small a number Of people built up and
established upon permanent footing
such broad and profitable business in
so short n period. But this has not been
accomplished without much loss 10 in.

rifices on the part OF large classes Of the
community. As in the founding Of every
other important industry, time and the
expenditure Of vast sums Of money have
been required to bring mining to its
present state of perfection, nearly all the
experiments and trials made in the
furthcrancc of this business having been
carried on under conditions involving
great hardship and heavy expense.

Explosions In Mines.

I An old miner who had experienced
explosions thus describes them As soon
rs the explosion occurs it drives like n
whirlwind aud with force enough to
carry any weight before it in the dircc.
ton of the nearest vent In going it
sweeps along the ceiling, tearing away
props, bntiices and every thing else,
even the pillars OF coal The uniortu-
nate miner who may be within its inlu-
ence instinctiycly throws himself flat
upon the ground. Before he can rise
the gas has encountered the body of air
moving in an opposite direction. They
came together with an elastic shock
sufficient to change the direction of the
gaseous tornado, and back it comes with
n rush, lifting the miner and tlinging
him probably distance of fifty feet
against the ragged coal. Behind again
there is a shock of pure air and foul, and
again the gus whirls back with undi min.
ished fury, lifting the miner once more.
and dnsling him back whence he origi'
nally came, Again and again tkis terri.
bic game Of battlcdore is repeated.
Nothing can resist its impetuO,ity.
Meanwhile the terrible after damp nc.
cumulates with surprising mpidity. This
is composed of the black damp which
hangs from the roof, and the white damp
which gathers along the floor. II joins
the gas at every rush, and adds powcrnnd
volume to its fury. The helpless miner
struggles with superhuman strength to
resist the buiIctings of the mine licnd,
but now the damp begins to seize upon
his senses, The sensation is not I'M
pleasant. He feels n slight dizziness.
He becomes weak and sleepy. He stag.
gers. His knees suddenly lose all their
power, and he falls.

PACKING EdGs.-Thcre is n mode Of
packing eggs by which they may be
smelly carried any distance, and over
rough roads, without damage. And there
is another mode by which half Of them
may be very easily broken. The secret
lies in solid packing, with an elastic ma,
terial between the layers. We have
watched many barrels Of eggs opened
without broken one in them; and
many badly packed, which We would
not have handled il they had been given
to MS for nothing. Tho proper mode Of
packing, either in barrels, boxes, or bns.
kets, is TO place first n layer Of long hay
or straw three inches thick in the bot
tom. On this scatter an inch in depth

A Rat Story.

A STORY which we believe has nev-
IN. been in print before, and which is
we'll worth the hearing, comes TO us
through private sources, concering Elliot,
the we'll. known portrait painter Of New
York, lately deceased Elliot, like many
other erratic children of genius, had per-
enial attacks Of what they term "sprce-
ing" nowadays At such times he
would go over to Brooklyn and be invis-
BILE for a week or two, coming back the
ghost of his former self, unnerved and ex-
hausted. Upon one occasion, after his
return from such jaunt, several of his
friends determined, if possible, to put a
stop to this procedure, and so went down
to his studio, carrying in pocket a big
rat, for purposes which will be seen.
Elliot sat painting, lazily returning to his
work after he had greeted his visitors.
They took him to task roundly for his
dissipation, declaring that his health was
utterly ruined, aud that another such turn
would drive him into "snakes," other
wise called delirium tremens. They
pressed the topic, when finally he arose in
a passion, and as he did so the rat was
slipped loose, and went flying among the
half-fnished pictures. Elliot gave chase
with cane, calling loudly for assistance
knowing that if uncaught, the animal
would work mischief with his canvas.
Not hearing the others move, he looked
around with astonishment, and shuddered
visibly as he saw them looking at him
with faces full of sadness and pity. They
tried to get him to sit down, saying that
he'd" get over it pretty soon% but he
shook them off and went silently back tC
his painting Aftera few touches he stop
ped and turned round, with an attempt
to laugh that was inexpressibly painful
and broke out : "Thats good Joke on
you fellows. l didn't see any rat" ir'

An Arithmetical Question.

A MAN went into cobbler's and
IN. bought pair of boots for sixteen
shillings. He put down sovereign
twenty shillings,-and the cobbler hay
ing no change went to neighboring pub
lie house for it, and gave it to him. Later
in the day the landlord Of the inn sent
in to say that the sovereign was bad
one, and insisted upon the cobbler max
ing it right, which he accordingly did.
Now, how much did the cobbler lose by
the transaction? There is no play upon
words, or anything but common sum
in arithmetic"
"Why, it is the easiest thing in the
world" calculated Housewife. "Of
course the cobbler lost just"
"Be quite sure !" cried Pazzleton, very
angrily. "Write it down, will you-ii
you can write"
So we all wrote down what we imgag.
ined to be the loss which the cobbler sus.
tanned, and it is wonderful how opinions
differed, within such narrow limits.
The Colonel made his loss two pounds
Mr.. Aloes made his loss just two
pounds and the boots.
Mr.. Funnidog made him lose six and
thirty shillings.
Mr.. Mcpherson made him lose six.
teen shillings and the boots, minus the
profit he made upon the boots-which,
said the Professor, it is not necessary t.
take into consideration
Mr.. Scale Hill, who used to investigate
the bills of extortionate Swiss landlords
set down the loss with confidence a
twelve shillings and the boots.
Housewife wrote -" Why, of cours
he lost the boots and twenty-four shil
lings."
Mrs. Housewife and the ladies bi
their pens, but declined to commit them
selves. "They had never been taught,
they said, /" the rule of three"
"You are all wrong" said the Profes
sor, quietly, "as l expected you woul
be. The way to get at the matter is t
consider what is gained.
The landlord and the whole story O
his changing the sovereign may be take
out of the question, since he is neithe
better nor worse for the transaction. Th
buyer of the boots gets in exchange 70
his bad sovereign four shillings and
pair of boots, and that is just what tn
cobbler loses"
