Women and Introductions,

we can very readily understand
why women should be shy of holding
conversation with men without the
ceremony of an introduction, but the
stiffness and formally which mark
the meeting of two women who do
not know each other, is something
altogether inexplicable. Gentlemen
speak to each other in the street or in
cars, when there is occasion, ask neces.
sary questions, give courteous an.
swers, and think nothing Of it. But
let a lady want to know the points of
the compass, or the locality Ofa street,
and she will puzzle her naughty head
to any conceivable extent rather than
approach one of her sister shoppers
with query. Failing finally to work
out the problem, she is certain to
select man as the person to whom
to apply. sessa
The same shyness of each other
marks all the meetings of women un-
introduced. The calmness and seren-
ity with which they ignore each
others existence has something al
most sublime about it, and the hau.
teur with which they receive a vol
unteered hint of loose breastpin or
a falling shawl from one of their own
sex, contrasts strangely with the
gracious smile that greets similar
attentions when offered by gentle
men.
Of course there are exceptions to
this rule, but they are only excep-
tions. Nor do we think the fact cited
theresult of affection of any kind. On
the contrary most women seem utter
ly unconscious of any such peculiar
ity in themselves or others around
them. And yet even highly sensible
women do things of the kind every
day.
We once knew two ladies, both of
them women of sense, who sat for
weeks at desks not ten feet apart, en-
gagged in the same work, without
once exchanging a word, while each
of them came to know every gentle
man in the Office. A formal intro
duction came at last, and the two
women workers became bosom friends
almost Immediately. During all this
time each wanted to know the other,
each knew who the other was, each
was predisposed to like her neighbor,
but the want of the formal introduce
ton was an impossible barrier which
neither was sufficiently aggressive to
overstep. Two men under similar
circumstances would have been ac-
quainted within less than an hour,
while man and a woman would
have bowed at the first meeting, and
have known each on the first day.

Buried by a Snow Slide.

DENVER, COL, Dec. 27.-Further
particulars are at hand of the terrible
disaster at the Virginia mine on Mon
day, Edward Boyle, foreman of the
mine, and Others having reached here
from the scene of the snow slide.
| Boyle's account of the calamity is
graphic. When the avalanche de-
scended upon the boarding house at
4 o'clock on Saturday there were II
in it--some asleep in their hunks and
others waiting to go on night shift
while Armstrong and Shledler We're
in the kitchen. Boyle, escaping
through an opening. ran for assist
ance, and all the men at the mire
we're speedily engaged in tunneling
the snow to save the buried men.
The prrty from Ouray, which
started out on Saturday for the mine,
reached the postOffice that night, hav-
ing had to abandon their horses
and use snow shoes. Reaching the
Monongahela mine they found the
Virginia's wOrkmen there with four
corpses. Sleds were made for the
dead bodies, and the parties started
yesterday to return to Ouray, David
Reed in front breaking the trail. Just
as they reached Cumberland Basin
another snow slide came down upon
David Reed, and in a second had car
ried him into the air over a precipice
before the eyes Of the horror-stricken
men. Following in another instant,
a secord'snow slide descended upon
the whole party, carrying away the
13 men. The sleds they were drag
ging and the corpses Of the men went
nearly 1000 feet down the mountain
with the slide, four of them being
hurled over precipice 500 feet high.
superintendent Reed was carried to
the edge of precipice, where tree
caught and held him. The first man
to escape from the slide. was Boyle,
who arose bruised and dazed. and,
looking around, saw hands and feet
protruding from the snow all around.
He went to work to help the buried,
each man as fast as rescued assisting
to save the others till all were res
cued. The bodies of the four men
killed at the Virginia lie under 200
feet of snow, and probably will re-
main there until spring.

A Golden Opinion.

A well known author has said:
EVERY youth should live with an
eye on old age. If he should die be-

him any injury" Just so should all
youth be taught by their parents and
teachers that Peruao, the great tonic,
is Just the remedy he needs for all the
ailments to which flesh is heir. Many
golden opinions of its value and of its
unprecedented success have been re-

express the most undoubted contl-
dence in its value as a remedy, and

How They Made Out.

"I don't know" said Margaret,
show we shall make out; but we
can't let the children starve."
Margaret was the house. mother in
a German home, where money was
scarce and plain food was not plenty.
A stranger had come along the
street, stopped at the door, and asked
if he might have something to eat
with the family. He was watching
the little yellow-haired girl who fol
lowed Margaret around, and it was
In reply to a question of his. that she
had spoken the sentence with which
our story begins.
"Then she isn't your child ?" asked
the stranger.
"No," Margaret explained that she
was the child of a poor neighb0r who
had died few weeks before leaving
nothing for the little girl, and no
friends for her to 60 to. So they had
taken her in.
"And can't you manage to keep
her" thestranger asked. "You have
none of your own, suppose ?"
"Oh, dear yesW and she laughed
oyer his queer question. None of
their own! "Why, there are ten in

When supper was ready they all
trooped in. What an army of them
how clean their faces were their hair
neatly cOmbed, and their patched and
worn clothes looked as though each
of them had been as careful of them
as possible.
AT the supper table, each of them
looked out for Gretchen she had the
largest potato, carefully peeled by
Margaret, the mothers name child /;
and Melchor. the fathers namesake,
put bit of butter on it, though he
seemed to be talking with the father
and mother.
The next day a soldier in military
dress rode up to the house, and asked
for the hOuse-mother, and gave her a
great solemn looking letter which
made her heart trembe as she broke
the seal. Oh, what do you think that
letter said ? Why, that man who had
taken supper with them the night be-
fore was so pleased with all the ten
children. and with Gretchen besides,
that he had decided to make each of
them present of 500. which would

lived 81, 100 year because a strange
man who took supper with them was
pleased with their Kindness to him and
their unselfish care for the orphan
Gretchen! That sounds like "made-
up" story, don'tit? And yet it is true.
The letter was signed, "Joseph, Em-
perOr of Austria" And he was the
stranger who had eaten potatoes with
them the night before.

falling Of an arch Of Orick erected at the
entrance to the boiler room Of the Vale
Royal Mills, ownedb by Messrs. DC. Bacon

appears that the columns TO the arch,
when recently constructed, were rein
forced by scantling, the intention being
to remove the wood as soon as the brick
work was done.
Mr.. SmallwOOd and the cOl0red hands
were removing the scantling when
the arch gave way. One OF the
negroes had his foot broken at the in
step by the falling brick; another negro
was slightly bruised in several places,
and the third was cut in the head. Mr..
SmallwOOd was cut or the left side Of the
head and seriously bruised IN the back.
DR.. B. +. Purse was summoned to attend
the injured men. and found that the

On Thanksgiving day a young man
named William Bourn, who lives IN Wald-

miles from the city, IN the White Bluff
road. with one of his companions on a
hunting excursion. About noon being
somewhat fatigued, a well as hungry,
after their tramp through the woods, some
distance from the main road, they
lay down upon the ground,
their weapons beside them. While
eating lunch it seems Bourn accidentally
struck his fowling piece with his hand,
when the weapon was discharged, the
contents cutting a large round hole
through his right foot, between the mid
die toe and the instep, decorating and
tearing the flesh, as the charge
passed out through the sole Of the foot. in
a terrible tanner. His companion called
for assistance. and a wagon was finally
procured and the unfortunate man brought
to his home. where DR.. B. f. Purse, as
sisted BY DR.. r. s. Sanders, amputated
the middle toe and gave the necessary
medical attention..
