at that instant there was fash from the

When Teresa came to herself she
glanced out, terribly bewildered, and
saw her mistress lying on the porch.
She ran out with dreadful cry of
"God ha' mercy!' and lifted the pros

to take her pulse.

Why Should l Grieve?

Alas! why should l ever grieve
That LIES fond dreams decay?
Why should weep that friends deceive
And collly turn away?
Ny heart has echoed many sigh
Aud felt hopes mystic thrill,
But, ali no glance from beaming eye,
The aching void would fill.
The past, with all its memories,
OF sorrow, JOY, or bliss,
Has but fulfilled grim fste's DEGREES,
And lef, me only this.

Whate'er my God may send;
For du,y's path ! ever must

Across all amber sea,

Just rising DER the lea;
And soon my guiding star will set,
Beyond the unseen river,
And leave me here in sad regret
When that beam is lost forever.

MINERs.-There is something extra
ordinary in the willfulness and shrewd-
ness with which coal miners will evade
regulations made for their own preser-
walton. Although the closed safety
lamp gives sufficient light for their
work, yet the miners will defy all rules
and open the lamps with false keys,
thus laying themselves and comrades
liable to sudden and terrible death.
The Blantyre colliery explosion fort
night ago was caused by criminal care.
lessness and violation of needful regu-
lations. In the hand of one OF the
miners killed by the explosion was
found a tobacco pipe. Pipes were also
found beside two more of the dead. The
lamp OF another miner who was killed
was unlocked and secreted in his
clothes was forged key for unlocking
the Davy lamp. A tobacco box in the
pocket of one of the firemen contained
three lamp keys. IN one of the mems
jackets was found pipe, six lucifer
matches and two brattice nails tied in

for unlocking a safety lamp, together
with key for the same purpose made
out of an ordinary door.key. Other
forged keys, pipes and lucifer matches
were found, showing that the rules laid
down for the safety of the miners were
systematically evaded.-Detroh Press.

Care Of the Drowning.

DR.. Howard, medical officer of New
York harbor. recently explained at the
receiving house of the Royal Humane
Society, London, his method Of resus
citating persons taken from the water
in state of insensibility. The princi
pies upon which he acts are those of
clearing away the water and mucus
which prevent the entrance of air into
the lungs, and the imitation OF the
movements of the chest in respiration
He first empties the stomach and pas
sages of water. For this he places the
patient face downward. puts a roll of
something hard under the pit of the
stomach, 80 that it is above the level of
the mouth, and then presses with all
his force on the back. Afterward. to
set up artificial breathing, instead of
the partial rolling of the body or the
pumping action of the arms now prac-
ticed, the body is laid upon the back
with the clothes stripped down to the
waist. The pit of the stomach is now
raised to the highest point by some.
thing under the back. y bundle of
clothing or the body of another man
will do this. The head is thrown back
and the tongue must be drawn forward
by an assistant, SO az to keep open the
entrance to the air tubes. The hands
are passed over the head, the wrists
crossed, the arms kept firmly extended.
In this position the chest is fully ex-
banded. The operator then kneels
astride the body, places his hands on
the lower part of the ribs, and steadily
and gradually makes compression.
Balancing on his knees he inclines him.
self forward till his face nearly touches
that of the patient, and so let's fall the
whole weight of his body upon the
chest. When this has yielded as much
as it will, he throws himself back, by
a sudden push, to his first erect position
of kneeling, and the elastic ribs by
their expanding bellows action draw
air into the lungs. These maneuvers
must be repeated regularly twelve to
fifteen times in the minute.
