Falling Down Tho Shaft Of A Mine.

Christmas Eve at Julian Mines, San
Diego, furnished one Of the most re-
markAble incidents in all the annals OF
curious casualties. Charley Fox is one
Of the owners OF the San Diego Ledge.
Their shaft is sunk to the depth of ITO
feet. On the afternoon OF the 9th of
December he took his place in the
bucket to go down to the lower level.
1t had been raining freely during the
day. Tho break on tho within, which
raises and lowers the bucket in mines
not supplied with steam power, was
held in its place by rope. This had
become very wet, and, OF course, re-
liked its tension. Fox had hardly
taken his place in the bucket before he
went careering like lightning down the
sheer drop OF 175 feet. The break WINS
absolutely useless, and down, down
hurtled bucket and man, humping now
against ono side md now against the
other, until finally both struck tho two.
inch planking which covered tho we'll.
Tho bucket was smashed to pieces, and
poor Charley plunged through the two.
inch planking, MS though It had been
pasteboard, into the well. This was six
or eight feet deep. He sank to the bot
tom, md, when ie rose, was hauled out
by his comrades who were working in
tic level. The mystery Of the buiincss
is that, although Fox was pretty thor
oughly jarrcd and bruised, broken
ankle was the only serious injury re.
sulting from the fall.

A FrRD FACT IN PHARAtAcy.-Con-
sidering the multitude Of diseases, it
Is amazing that we live; in view OF the
countless remedies for them, it is Won
derful that We die. Unfortunately,
however, MI tho diseases are realities,
whereas most Of tho remedies aro hum
bugs. One exception to the latter rule
demands the recognition and approval
Of tho press. We refer to Din. JOSEPH
WAIKER's VINEGAR BTTgRs., OF the
doctor himself, we know nothing but
OF his medicine we can speak frtm OBJ
seryation, for it seems to have found its
way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in
this country, rs family remedy, than
any other preparation, although II has
not yet been before tho world three
years. Wherever We go We hear OF 1t.
and whenever we hear OF it the com.
ments on its efficacy aro enthusiastic.
We have questioned sufferers from liver
complaint, remittent fever, fever and
ague, chronic headache, vertigo, irrcgu.
larities OF the bowels, indigestion, rhou-
matism, neuralgia, govt, kidney dis.
eases, and affections OF tho lungs, MS to
its effects, and the uniform answer Inns
been, "H Is doing nc good" Believing
that what everybody says must DO true,
VIC have no hesitation in admitting that
VINEGAR Buffers is the Great Medical
Success OF the present century.-Com.

PREPARING ron Ir.-Among tho gem
cral exercises in New Ysrk City public
schools there is now introduced what
may he called the tire.escnpc drill. One
principal of n grammar school has
drilled her scholars 10 rise atthe sound
Of her hell, to stand, feet firmly plant
ed, until a second stroke, upon which
signal they rush onthe "double-qnick"
to the main staircase and thence safely
into the street. All keep step, nobody
is crushed, and tho school.roon Is
speedily emptied. It may be oonsid.
cred strange that necessity for any
such drill exists; but one cannot rc-
strain his admiration Of tho system
which trains up children to runfrom fire
in good order, whatever may be its fail.

Rufus Mitchell, of NTillbridge, Mass,
recently bled to death from n very
slight cut. A physician tells n singular
story with regard 10 Mitchell and his
family: "He WIS one Of those unfor-
tumte men who bleed from the slight
est scratch of the skin, and many times
lie has lnin and slcd till 1t seemed that
tho blood had MI run out, and then llo
would gradually recover, This time
the cut was quite large, md he lived
but n very few hours. There Is SOME.
thing remarkable about this fanny,
who arc here termed MS belonging TO
tho bleeding family. None but tho
males bleed, and they nre the sons Of
tho females Of the same family. For
instance, this man Inns left children;
mono x them will bleed; but II the girls
should hRvo boys in their families, they
will be OF the bleeding kind, but the
boyS arc themselves FREQ and their fam
lilies will bU the same. / cannot explain
this / have practiccd in tho family for
more than twenty years, During this
time number OF tlom have died from
this cause, and others have bled, often
dangerously.

.Tobocco ia n Filthy Weed.

AT the nearest recollection, says hii
exchange, the internal revenue report
Of last year showed that the United
States consumed about ten million CT
gars during that time. Many smokers
prefer the pipe to the cigar, and prob
ably MS much tobacco is consumed IN
that way as in cigars. However out oil
the way numerically the previous state
ment may be, 1t is truo that there are
in this country 12, 29l manufacturers OF
cigars, aud they employ l,40l men,
Wherever tobacco can be raised the far
mer finds it one Of the most profitable
crops, and consequently IL very apt to
cultiyote it. It's use increases from year
to year in a greater ratio than the pop
ulation. People differ SO widely ms to
It's effects that 1t is only Just, Whenever
n candid statement is made Of any test,
to give it publicity. Recently, OF the
Polytechnic School in Paris, one OF the
professors inquired into the habits OF
the one hundred and sixty students
there, and then made q comparison BE-
tween their devotions to study and to
smoke. He found that one hundred
and two were smokers and fifty.eight
never used, or said they never used, the
noxious weed. He then found That in
each grade of the school the students
who did not smoke outrnnked those
who did smoke, and that the scholar
ship Of tho smokers steadily deterior-
ated as the smoking coRtinuod. On
account OF several trustworthy reports
Of such n nature the Minister OF Public
instruction in France issued n circular
to the directors Of colleges and schools
forbidding tobacco to students Ns iniu-
rious to physical and intellectual devel.
opnent. But writer in Paris med.
ical journal complains that tile use Of
tobacco will not probably cease entirely
so long as Sunday schools furnish nicer,
scliaum pipes rs prizes to the best
scholars,

reply to it the A:chi-on Champion prints The
following p:rasrapt:

hope the legislature viii take the same view

We heartily endorse every word of the
