The Senate discussed and passed a measure
OF very great importance to the mining inter-
esfs OF Indiana yesterday. Briefly, it was in
favor of giving more protection to the lives of
miners by providing for the more thorough
ventilation OF mines and preventive of the
death-breeding damps and airs of coal mines,
also arranging for easy and rapid modes and
manner OF escape in case of accident. Toevery
seam or strata of coal there must be outlets
always available to the miners. Exact MAPS
must be made of the mines, showing the COM
pie. e workings of them ana exposed to inspec-
ton In the office OF the mine. The governor
shalt appoint a mine inspector who shall hold
his office for four years. He must be n resident
of not less than IL years experience
two of which shall have been spent in
digging and mining coal in this state, and he
must not have any interest in any mine in
the State. His fee for inspecting each mine
shall be five dollars, TO be paid by the owner of
the mine. and there shall be not more than
two inspections in any one year. He shall
make personal inspection at least twice a
year of all coal mines in the State.
aud shall see that every precaution is taken
to insure the health and safety OF the work.
men. No boy under IA years OF age shall be
employed in coal mines. The penalty for vfo-
lating any Of the provisions OF the act shall be
. dne in any sum not exceeding $500. The bill
goes into effect on the lst day OF May.
This bin was introduced into the use BY
Representative Compton, OF Clay co and,
by the way, one Of the most useful and Indus
trious members Of the Lower House. He has
taken great interest In its fortunes, and re-
joiced yesterday that the Senate had passed 1t.

Principles for Pruning.

Barry. in rs First Garden, rests
the theory Of the pruning Of fruit trees
on six general principles:
First-The vigor Of a tree subjected
to pruning, depends in a great measure
on the equal distribution OF sap In all
its branches. To accomplish this the
following means are devised to be sue
cessively employed: az. Prune the
branches of the most vigorous parts
very short, and those of the weak parts
long. (2). Leave a large quantity OF
f nit on the strong part, and remove
the whole or greater part from the fee
BILE. go. Bend the strong parts and
keep the weak erect, and the Q
erect the branches are. the greater will
be the flow of the sap to the growing
parts, This remedy IS especially APP
Piled to espalier trees. CA. Remove
from the vigorous parts the superiilous
shoots. as early in the as possible.
(5). Pinch early the soft %extremities Of
the shoots on the vigorous parts and
as late as possible on the feeble parts,
except always any shoots which may be
too vigorous for their position. (6l.
Lay in the strong shoots on the trellis
early, and leave the feeble parts loose
as long as possible is espalier trees.
Second-The sap acts with greater
force, and produces more growth on a
branch or shoot pruned short than on
one pruned long; hence the practice of
pruning short where wood branches are
desired, and long for fruit branches.
Third-The sap tending always to the
eNtremities of the shoots, causes the
terminal bud to push with greater vieor
than the l@aterals.
Fourth-The more the sap is OBJ
structed in its circulation, the more
likely it will be to produce fruit buds.
Fitth-The leaves serve to
the sap absorbed by the roots for the
nourishment Of the tree, and aid the
formation on the shoots. All trees.
therefore, deprived Of their leaves, are
liable to perish.
Sixth-When the buds of any shoot
or branch do not develop before the age
Of two years, they can only be forced
into rctiyity by close pruning, and in
some cases, notably the peach, this even
will often fail.

IMPROMPTU FIREWORKS,

"Are you my uncle RobertP" said
sweet, childish voice. And stopping
the cheerful whistle that always accom-
panied his work, and looking up from
the plane that was loudly lisping as it
rapidly skinned along the board he
was planning, Richard Foster ssaw,
standing in the doorway of his work
shop-a bright June sunbeam resting
on her pretty head--a little fair-haired
girl.
Lost in astonishment, he did not an
swer the child, but gazed at her with
wide opened eyes. She had appeared
so suddenly and quietly, and, moreover,
she was so unlike the round-faced, rosy
checked, white, haired, chubby little ones
of his native village--so fair, so fragile,
with strange, yearning look in her
large violet-blue eyes, and tint of
purest gold on the long flowing hair that
fell about her small delicate face-that
she seemed to belong to an entirely diff
ferent race.

peated, coming a step or two into the
shop.
"No, I'm not, baby; wish were,"
answered the CHEEKY young fellow, re-
covering from his surprise; for he
dearly loved children, and this child
touched some chord in his heart that had
never been trouched before.
"My names not Baby it's Eva,"
said the child, shaking the hair back
from her face, and regarding him with
serious look. "And mammals name is
Eva, too" And then, with little sigh:
"I fought perhaps you was him."
"What made you think so, baby-I
mean EvaP" asked the young man, with
pleasant smile, tossing his plane aside,
and sitting down on huge block of
wood that stood near.
"You look like him speaking with
quaint preciseness. "He went away

the cottage adjoining. The young car

SWEET SIXTEEN.

" You think the world is only made
For you, and such as yOu," he said,
Laughing aloud in bOyish scOrn,
OF bOyish mirth and mischief born.
She never turned from where she stood
prinking her little silkan snOOd
OF silken curlS before the glass;
She never turned to see him pass
Oranswered him, save with laugh
That half confessed his bOyish "chaff."
But left alone, confronted there,
With her own image fresh and fair.
A sudden blush lit up her face
With newer youth and fresher grace,
And eyes that were demurely fixed
A moment since, with thought unmiXed
Upon the smoothing of tress,
Now sparkled soft with consciousness.
" Why not, why not" she lightly cried,
Out OF the gay, eXuitant pride,
The sweet, wild innocence of youth;
" Why not for me, for me, fOrsooth,
And such as me, the world be made;
For me its glories all arrayed?
/" For since the world and life begun,
What poets measures have not run
through all the strains of minstrelsy
In praise of me, and such as me?
" For youth and beauty, in its day,
Has ruled the world, and will for aye,
One greatest of them all has sung
In verse that through the world has rung.
Il And here's my day to live and reign,
To take the joy and leave the pain
From this old world that's made for me-
For me, for me, and such as mep
Gay laughter rang through every word
And yet beneath the laughter stirred
a something more than iesting play
Just sweet sixteen that very day.

That all for heT-a foolish maid
The worlds gay glories were arrayed.
