HYGIENE Conditions of Coal Mines.

Some interesting information as to
the way in which the human system is
affected under the peculiar conditions
of work in mines has been full nished by
M. Fabre, from experience connected
with the coal mines in France. He finds
that the deprivation of solar light
causes diminution in the pigment OF
skin, and absence of sunburning, but
there is no globular an@mia-that IS
diminution in the number of gloDuleS
in the blood. Internal maladies seem
to be more rare. While there Is no
essential anRmia in the miners, the
blood globules are often found smaller
and paler than in normal conditions OF
life, this being due to respiration OF
noxious gases, especially where ventliia'
ton IS difficult. The men who breathe
too much the gases liberated on explo-
sion of powder or dynamite suffer more
than other miners from affections OF the
larynx, the bronchia, and the stomach
Ventilation sometimes works injury Dy
its cooling effect.

A Business Transaction.

A man went into clothing store
recently, and bought hat for $3.50,
left his old one, and said he would pay
for it when he came back. In half an
hour he returned, and entering the
store met the proprietor, who was alb
sent at his first visit. The proprietor
was glad to see the mana neighbor
of his-but, observing his new bat,
shadow passed over his face, and he
said: where did you buy that hat?
I can sell you hat just like that, and
a good deal cheaper, than what you paid
for it, 1 know" This pleased the
and, his eyes twinkling, he
asked how cheaphe would sell him one.
well, You are a neighbor of mine, and
you shall have one for just S1,75."
Very well, replied the customer, "I'll
take this one which 1 have on, which
] got here half an hour ago, and just
returned to pay for"-and he counted
out S1.75 and departed for his suburban
home, satisfied at his bargain.

roads will have to do is to pull these

The first year we will kill $4,000 to

of that meat will go to the North-tc
Chicago and the cities in that section

Texas Ranches.
New York World

Yes, there are some big ranches in
Texas, some larger than the State of
Rhode Island. To go around one you
would ride 100 miles. From the gate
to the front door of the house on that
of Capt. Dick King is fifteen milesl
There has been some talk of cutting
them up, and the Governor lately told
the stockmen that it would have to
come. As far as the profit goes, the
larger the ranch the greater the num-
Der of cattle or sheep raised. The
taxed cattle in Texas in 1881 were
4, zoo, 900, valued at S26.OOO,OOO. Those
cattle, worth in Texas SIS a head, are
worth here s45. No further back than
1872 they used to be killed for their
hides and tAllow. The profits in the
cattle business are enormous nov. But

A Stock Raiser on the Great American
Plains.

w. B. Todhunder branded last spring
over 5000 calves, and has sent to mark
ct this season 5000 beef cattle. These
figures prove Mr.. Todhunder to be the
largest stock raiser in the country.
There are others who send more cattle
to the market, but they buy them in
stead of raising them. He has over
10000 head of stock cattle, and over
100000 acres of patented land. Hegot
patents last month for $4,000 acres of
swamp land in one bunch. He has
about 1000 bulls and 800 saddle-horses
He employs fifty men and puts up $500
tons of hay to guard against hard win
tiers. He keeps 100 work-horses, and
raises grain enough to feed all his sad.
die and work stock. Besides his cat
tie, he has 700 or 500 stock horses,
four jacks and fifty stations. His stock
is divided among four ranches -one
known as the White House Ranch, ly-
ing just inside Oregon line, where 5000
head are kept; one in Long Valley, in
the northwest corner of Nevada, lying
alongside of Surprise, supports 1000
head; the Pyramid Ranch, lying at the
northeast corner of the lake, 1900 head
and lot of horses; the Abott Ranch,
at Stems Mountain, feced about 5,OOO,
and Harvey Valley 5000 more. The
home ranch is twenty-five miles from a
neighbor.-Re7oO Gazette.

hgersOII's Religion.

First. Happiness is the only good.
Second. The way to be happy is
to make others happy. Other things
being equal, that man is the happiest
who is the nearest just--who is truth
ful, merciful and intelligent-in other
words the one who lives in accordance
with the conditions of life.
Third. The time to be happy is
now, and the place to be happy is
here.
Fourth. Reason is the lamp Of the
mind-the only torch of progress; and
instead of blowing that out and de-
pending upon darkness and dogma, it
is far better to increase that sacred
light.
Fifth. Every man should be the in
telligent proprietor Of himself honest
with himself, and intellectually hos
pitable-and upon every brain reason
should be enthroned as king.
Sixth. That every man must bear
the consequences, at least, of his own
actions; that if he puts his hands in
the fire his hands must smart, and not
the hands of another. In other words,
that each man must eat the fruit of
the tree he plants.
| cannot conceive that the teaching
of these doctrines would fill peniten-
tiaries or crowd the gallows. The
doctrine of forgiveness-the idea that
somebody else can suffer in place of
the guilty-the notion that just at the
last the whole account can be settl, d
these ideas, doctrines and notions
are calculated to fill peuitentiaries.
Nothing breeds extravaganza like the
credit system.
Most criminals of the present day
are orthodox believers, and the gal
lows seems to be the last round of the
ladder reaching from earth 10 heaven.
The Rev. DIR. Sunderland, in his SER
mon on the assassination of Garfield,
takes the ground that God permitted
the murder for the purpose of opening
the eyes of the people to the evil ef-
fects of infdelity. According to this
minister, God, in order to show his
hatred of in6delity. inspired" or al
lowed one Christian to assassinate an
other.
