Rare Presence OF Mind.


One of the most remarkable accidents
that has ever vet been heard of on the
Pacific coast occurred last Monday at DR..
Buelow's quartz mine five miles east of
the CITY. g. H. Kirchbacker, middle
aged man, had put in blast at the bot
tom of the shaft, which is eighty feet
deep, and then after lighting the fuse
gave the men at the windlass the signal
to "hoist away" When the bucket he
stood in had been hoisted to a point about
thirty feet from the surface, a splice in
the rope gave way, and Kirchb,cker was
precipitated distance of fifty feet straight
down into the lower depths. Strangely
enough the force of the fall did not rem
der him insensible. though he was stunned
for an instant. One ankle was dislocated,
knee pan hurt, neck cut and other
slight injuries received. Almost as soon
as his downward course was checked ne
realized the fact that but few seconds
would elapse before the explosion OF the
blast and his consequent annihilation
unless he took immediate measures to
save himself. He MANAGED to draw his
mangled body over to where the fire was
creeping down to the heavy charge OF
powder beneath. No time was to be lost
Grasping the burning fuse, he summoned
up his remaining strength ana drew II
out from the tamping. His companions
on the surface were in an agonizlng STATE
of suspense for a few minutes. When sew
eral moments bad elapsed and no explo,s
ion followed, they started down for th'
purpose of getting the remains OF th'
victim, whom thew supposed had beel
dashed to pieces. Their surprise and Joy
were unbounded at finding him alive
He was hauled up and DR.. Buelow a
once sent for. So far as yet ascertalhet
he received no internal injuries, an'
will be as we'll as ever again in lev
days. ... ....

the spokesman Of the conscientious crew.
: 'There's great difference between row
ing by the power o. man, who must
answer for what he does, an wheel
turning engine; a steam engines not a
moral being, an is therefore net, an &C
eountable agent" A specious argument
certainly; but one much more easy to
answer than that advanced by a farm
servant, willing enough to milk her mas
ters cows on the Sabbath, but firm in re-
fusing to feed them on that day. Draw
ing a nice metaphysical distinction be-
tween what are and are not works OF ne
cessity, the shrewd lass said: "1he cows
Gamma milk themselves, 80 to milk them is
a clear work of necessity; but let them
out to the fields and they'll feed them
selves"

Men, Women and Religion.
lFortnightly Review.


Tenderness and its outcome, pity, are
as inseparable from true mahliness as
true womanliness. Quickness and del
icacy of perception are developed by the
constant exercise of observation on de-
tails and where exceptional conditions
in mans life force this exercise upon
him, as the normal conditions of women's $
lives do upon them, it will be found to
produce the same results Self-devotion
is but form of generosity; the gener-
osity of those who give themselves, hav-
ing nothing more and nothing better to
give, and, thank heaven, belongs equally
to the nobler natured of both sexes.
With regard to religion, it can scarce
ly be claimed for women that they have,
as sex, more genius tor religion than
men, seeing that all the founders of re-
ligions have been men, and that wherever
religion has been held in honor men have
rather monopolized than abandoned it to
women. That the latter should cling
longer to form of religion which is fall.
ing into decay and contempt, is the nat
ural result of their comparative seclusion
from the great intellectual movements OF
the world, which force the human mind
to throw off, in its process of growth, the
old vesture of faith, become too narrow
for it, and to weave for itself new one
fitted to its new needs.
Christianity, W tn it's assurance Of
Divine love, its hope of an eternal life
where sin and pain and sorrow shall
cease, naturally has the strongest hold OF
the hearts and imaginations of the weak
and oppressed, the weary and heavy
laden, Of whom the larger number art
women; and the passionate religious
feeling which prevailed among the slave
population Of the people of the Southern
States in America, men and womer
alike, is an instance in point. 1t may b.
added that in the dull, narrow, prosai'
lives of the women IF the lower middle
and working classes, religion is the onl.
nutlet into larger and brighter sphere
the only window, as it were. through
which their souls can look, or breath,
some breath of the life that is not fed b,
bread alone. H.
Alas, that the very conditions whicl
make this window so vitality necessary
make it also but too often so narrow, *
dust-stained, that neither pure light no
pure air can reach them through it Thu
result of this comparison of the moral anc
intellectual powers of men and womel
seems to be that human nature is sub
setntially the same in both, and that tn
common expression, How like man
How like womanl should be translate
iuto: How like what men and wome
generally have been made by condition
of life, education, and inherited aptitude,
from generation to generation, causin
certain qualities to be more or less dc
veloped H. each sex taken as whole.

A New Double Baby.
Times OF India. !

There is at present in Bombay living
object that may rightly be classed among
the most curious phenomena of Nature.
At house at Mazagon may be seen a
pair of female twins, separate in every
respect but from the breast-bone to the
lower part of the abdomen, which. is
closely joined. The upper breast-bone of
each infant is linked into the other. the
outer skin covering both trunks. The
twins are joined front to front; shoulders,
arms, lower limbs, and feet perfectly
formed, and development healthy, while
the heads are we'll shaped and the faces
really pretty, with beautiful eyes, large
and bright. The twins are six months
and twenty days old, are in perfect
health, and measure twenty inches in
height, one appearing-but in very tri-
fling degree--laryer than the other. Both
have vigorous appetites, and take kindly
to the feeding bottle, are extremely live
ly, and appear good-tempered.
Tne pulses beat in unison, they gener-
ally fall asleep or keep awake together,
and their actions are unusually stimuli
taneous, though sometimes one would
cry while the other was quietly drawing
the mouthpiece of its bottle. The
strAngcly.united pair we're born at Da-
pool, in the Rutnagherry Collectorate,
the father being Mohammedan and a
seafaring man, while the mother has be-
sides pretty little daughter about ten.
According to the formers account, he
called in native doctor at Rutnagherry,
whose opinion was that there was con
nection internally between the abdomens
so that of whatever sustenance the one
took portion passed to the other. How.
ever that may be, the infants feed sapa.
rately, each having bottle to self, and
draw vigorously at their nourishment
This same doctor also declared it would
be impossible to separate them without
extinguishing life. The twins have ny

An old Highlander, reproached by his
Pastor for absenting himself from church
one Sabbath morning, denied the charge,
repeating the denial soemphatically, that
the puzzled minister asked him if he
would offer his oath that he was there
that morning. "To be sure;" was the
unabashed ones answer; and the minister
said no more. A friend of the false
speaking Highlander told him it was aw-
full to hear him offprhi oath to such a
lie. "Hoot, toot, man" quoth Donald.

The w trning.
TBelgravia.l

Tn the summer of 1898, when society
in Ulster was completely disorganized,
poor woman, too weary to go further,
was set down with her baby and large
trunk at the inn door. A nights lodg-
ing was requested, and the tired traveller
placed herself by the freside while sup
per was being prepared. Evil-looking
men moved about the room, and she saw
them cast many glances at her trunk,
which was unusually large for a poor
woman to possess. .... =
A good deal of whispering in Irish
took place, which she, being a Derry
woman, could not understand; but the
host, as he sharpened knives upon the
board, seemed to nod toward her in a
threatening manner. A cock just then
strutted up to her, plucked her dress with
his beak, and crowed loudly. "Wring
his neck, the villainw said the host to
the servant girl. The bird flew up to
the rafters out Of harms way, but as
soon as the commotion was over he came
down again, and once more crowed and
plucked the travellers gown. .,
Much alarmed, the poor woman rose
un, and said, as calmly as she could:
'TIl go wee piece along the road, TO
Hook about me. Please take care o my
trunk, an III be back before the supper's
ready.' No one attempting to detain
her, she left the inn with her child.
Walking quietly until out Of sight of the
black lake and gaunt frs, she began to
run wildly along the road toward the
gap. A party Of yeomnnry met hel
when she was almost exhausted, and tc
them she told her story. ..'.
1t was time when all houses were LA
BILE to be entered and examined. The inr
was thoroughly searched; papers were
found duplicating the host in the re
bellion, and human remains, as well al
clothing, silver and other valuables, dis
covered on the premises showed thai
travellers had been made way with there
The woman wits conducted to her des
tination by the yeomanry and did moi
return to Derry until the troublllou'
times were over She lived to tell hel
great-graDdchildren how the cock hae
4 saved her life. '.tt f't

The Reason why.

The tonic effect of Kidney Wort is pro-
duced by its cleansing and purifying action
on the blood. Where there is gravelly
deposit in the urine, or milky, ropy urine
from disordered kidneys, it cures without
fail. Constipation and piles readily yield
to its catbartic and healing power.

GENERAL SHIELDS.

SEINE "Reminiscences of the Late Veteran.
The New York Herald, in its sketch OF
the career of the late Gen. Shields,
gives the following incidents:
Shields became Auditor of the State
of Illinois in 1889. While he occupied
this important Office be WAS involved in
an "affair Of honor" with Spring
field lawyer-no less parsonage than
Abraham Lincoln. At this time "James
Shields, Auditor" was the pride Of the
young Democracy, and was considered
dashing fellow by all, the ladies in
cluded. In the summer of 1912 the
Springfield Joar1ia! contained some lst-
sers from the +" Lost Townships" by a
contributor whose nom de plume was
Aunt Becca." which held up the gal
liant young Auditor as 2 "ball-room
dandy, iioatin' about on the earth with
out heft or substance, just like a lot of
cat-fur where cats bad been fightin'.
These letters caused intense excitement
in the town. Nobody knew or guessed
their authorship. Shields swore it would
be coffee and pistols for two if he should
find out who had been iampooniny him
so numerically. Thereupon "Aunt
Becca" wrote another letter, which
made the furnace of his wrath seven
times hotter than before, in which she
made a very humble apology and offered
