The Turcoman Mt Homo.

Any traveller who has crossed the
wild upland region lately occupied by
Russia on the border Of Afghanistan,
and has seen the Turcoman camps and
Afghan villages with which il is
studded, has surveyed at one glance
the past and the present of Central
Asia. The fortrcss-like Afghan hamlet,
with its huge gray mud wall and mar
row, sinister loop-holes, behind which
the low, flat-roofed earthen novels hud-
die SO closely together as barely TO
leave passage room between them, re-
presents tho marauding shepherd Of
the east in his more advanced stage OF
fixed residence in one spot, but still re-
tanning enough of his guerrilla nature to
regard every stranger as an enemy, and
to build every house like fort The
light Turcoman tent of felt and sap
lings, set up or pulled down in few
moments, typifies the same man in his
original character of q wandering

But He Did.
"Skinln

"Skip"
The exclamation was uttered by
citizen OF Brady street, and was directed
at tramp who had called tc ask for
dinner.
"Not much!"
"You won't, eh?"
"No, sir i"
"Then I'll make yuow
$50 ahead!"
Did the citizen pull off his coat aud
spit on b hands and knock the tramp
into the middle of next week. No, sir.
He put his finger into his mouth and
uttered a sharp whistle, and his wife
came to tho door with hoe-handle in
her hand and inquired:
@What, another? Well, look out for
splinters!"
Her husband stood aside and she
made o rush, but when the weapon
came down the tramp wasn't there.
From the other side OF the fence he
lifted his hat and gently but firmly OBJ
served:

FATAL AIR.
Terrible Explosion Of Gas IN : Coal

The most disastrous mine accident Of
recent years in the anthracite coal fields
occurred to-day at Macanaqua, on the east
bank Of the 6usquehanna River, fourteen
miles from this city, and opposite the town
Of Shickshinny. Nearly SCORE Of sturdy
miners who left their homes this morning
light Of heart and in the best Of spirits are
now cold in death, having been suffocated
BY the deadly gas.

cunlulated before the mon could be notified
Of their peril. A few escaped by their own
efforts, but nearly all were overcome and
met gasping deaths.
Twelve bodies have been recovered. Fol-
lowing are the names Of the dead:
James Whalen, aged s.; leaves three
children. William Price, aged IS; unmar-
ried. Peter Bovastski, aged ~; unmarried.
Anthony Bovastski, brother Of Peter Bo-

Thousands of excited people are loiter-
ing about the vicinity Of the disaster, and
willing volunteers take turns In going into
the mine to rescue those who may yet be
alive, and to remove the bodies of tho dead.
Six more dead bodies were discovered at
nine o'clock this evening.
The fans are not yet at work, but an air.
passage has been made through second
opening in the mine, and 1t il thought that
the rescuers will soon be able to penetrate
further into the slope.
The scenes in the town of Shickshinny
and about the mines are indescribable. The
friends and relatives Of the doomed ones
are gathered by hundreds. Women and
children are mourning and weeping Strong
men shed tears, and the sobs Of the be-
reaved wives OF those who have been taken
out arc heartrending
Every train brings hundreds from the
surrounding towns, and it is estimated that
at least thousand people are gathered In
the vicinity Of the disaster.

LOVES IN THE CALENDAR

When chinks in April's windy dome
Let through a day of June,
And foot and thought inclined to roam,
And every sound a tune;
When nature fitls fuller cup,
And hides with green the gray
Then, lover, pluck your courage up
To try your fate in May.
Though proud she was as sunset clad
In Autumn's fruity shades,
Love too is proud and brings tgay iadD
Humility to maids.
Scorn not from natures mood to learn,
Take counsel of the day;
Since naughty skies to tender turn
Go try your fate in May.
Though cold she seemed as pearly light
Adown December ewes,
And stern as night when March winds smitt
The beech's lingering leaves;
Yet Love hath seasons like the year,
And grave will turn to gay,
Then, lover, listen not to fear,
But try your fate in May.
And you whose art it is to hide
The constant love you feel;
Beware lest overmuch of pride
Your happiness shall steal. ~
- No longer pQNt. for Mar II. .here ~ M
And hearts will have their way;
Loves IN the calendar, my dear,
So yield to fate In May.

Crowded Towns.

1t is easy to understand why towns
and cities are becoming overrun with
An extra number of laborers, mechanics,
tramps, and idlers. At the prices Of farm
produce farmers cannot pay rs high
wages as are offered laborers or clerks
in the towns. The young man in the
country who is toiling ten or twelve
hours per day, and ont of the reach Of
of evening amusements, is not content
to work for $40 per month, when he
learns that some Of his young acquaint-
ances are clerking in town for $50 or
$50 per month, with all the advantages
of city life. He is uneasy and disap-
pointed with farm life,s and rashly
breaks loose from home and friends and
goes to the town. He probably fails In
getting employment. and goes to the
next town, or to some large city, where
he thinks he has better opportunities
of employment. He has hnt little
money, which is soon gone. He has to
abandon respectable boarding. houses
and respectable company. lis thrown
among the worst company, who are
shrewd ard plausible in schemes for
making or getting money easier than
work on farm, or even by clerking.
The consequences are, honest young
men are frequently led astray, first ap-
parently in honest enterprise, then BY
those Of more doubtful propriety, until
he is tramp or q criminal. In this
way the ranks OF the idle and vicious
are constantly recruited, and the towns
are full Of them, which the police are
not able 10 detect eeuea11 -
The cities are already (
ments of industry, over Sd
help. Chances to obtain lucfdusl0l0s
large salaries are scarce, and constant
employment for the common laborer is
almost impossible to be had. Public
improvements do not employ half the
force they did three to five years ago.
The depressed price of farm produce
will not Justify paying higher wages or
employing more hands on the farms.
The reduction of the tariff two years
ago to the amount of about 10000, 900
takes that amount yearly from the la
borers. artisans, mechanics, and manu-
facturers of this country and gives it to
that class in Europe These things
are creating uneasiness, restlessness,
and idleness. And idleness is the par
ent of vice and crime. 1t is difficult
problem in political economy to solve.
1t is serious matter to have to solve
it rs was done at Lemont. Illinois, re-
Gently. And yet it is probable, if Con-
gressional and State legislation do not
tend more to the protection and reward
Of American labor, the mob spirit will
severely test tho strength and stability
OF this government.
Crowding to towns for higher wages,
abandoning the frugal and honest in
dustry of the farm is rapidly recruiting
the army Of idle men who will become
desperate in sentiments and actions,
and thinking "the world owe them Q liv-
ing" whether they make an honest
effort to earn it, they will imbibe the
communistic principle. and make wal
on capital and economic industry,
These are serious questions to be solved
