 VICTORIA, B. O., Jan. 24.-An explosion occurred shortly before nine o'clock this morning in No. 56 shaft of the Wellington collieries. The force of the explosion dis placed the hoisting gear. At 11:50 eleven men had been hoisted out by ropes This leads to the belief that the explosion was not a severe one and that the prospect is good for the safety of the remainder of the men, two hundred of whom are in the mine. Later thirtyfour white men and thirty-one Chinese had been safely hauled up. The hoisting shaft gear was afterwards got in working or- der and the men at last accounts were being brought up quickly. As there is no fire in the mine it is reasonably sure that all are safe with perhaps the exception of few in the immediate vicinity of the explosion.

A Chinese Agony Column.

The North China Herald gives one or
two very curious specimens Of adver-
tisements which apper in the Chinese
papers. One is from a mother TO her
son who has run away from home, and
II is worded as follows: Take care
that YOU are not struck down by light
ming. Your mother weeps bitterly for
you as she pens these lines In order
that they may be read by her son.
When you ran away from home on the
S0th of the eighth moon, the people Of
the shop came and asked us what had
become Of you; it was thus that we
learned your flight. / nearly died of
fright, and since then my food and
sleep have benefited me but little. |

received your letter which has come
from beyond the horizon, but it does
not tell me where | can find you. l
am now at almost the last extremity,
and our family has had to put up with
cruel insult from strantiers. II you do
not return can stand all this no long
er and shall assuredly put an end to
my existence. in which case you would
be in danger of being struck down by
lightning. II you return. no matter in
what way, all will be arranged. |

your father will know nothing of your

ton of only few more days. | en-

that may be read by all whom it may
concern. They will thus earn pro-
fusion of hidden merit. Written by a
woman of Soneho-Take care that you

second advertisement is from hus-
band whose wife has run away with a

"Talking about badgers and their
biting powers" said California
sportsman TO correspondent Of the
New York Commercial Advertiser, Il
know Of case where one nearly killed
a man, aud in a mighty curious way.
II was down in Texas. A young fell
low was visiting a ranch there, and
was in the habit of going hunting for
several days at time, sometimes run
ming down 10 town near by. So
nothing was thought of il when he
didn't show upf for three days. Finally
a telegram was brought him concern
ing some important business, and the
ranchmen began 20 hunt him up. To
their surprise they found that he had
not been at the town, or even been
heard of there. Parties were now or
ganized and sent off in various diree-
tons where il was thought likely he
would 90. On the second day the
party went into little gulch and one
of the npen raised cry and pointed
ahead. There was the missing man
living fat en- the ground, face down.
''They rushed up to him, but he
couldn't speak. and when they tried to
lift him they found his arM was fast
in burrow. Something had him,
and they were not long in finding out
what. They went to work and dug
down for about two feet, and came
upon a big badger, lying, bracing
back, with its teeth fastened tight
through the boys hand. 1t didn't
take long to fill the animal with bull
lets and cut off its head. Even then
they had to pry open its mouth with a
bowie-knife before they could release
him. They packed the boy home, and
the next day he was able to speak.
He was almost dead with thirst. The
badger had held him for five days.
Another day would have finished him.
alt seems that he had seen little
animal run into the hole, which he
took for a young badger, and; drop
ping his rifle, he lay down and ran his
arm in as far as he could and began to
feel around for the young ones, wnen
he was suddenly gripped. At first he
pulled and hauled with all his power,
and then he tainted away, and the arm
began to swell so taat he could not
move, and any attempt to dig away
the soil, baked hard, only made mat
ters worse. So there he lay, gradually
dying from hunger and thirst, every
move making the ferocious animal re-
new its hold.
If all the instances like this could be
collected they would make interesting
reading. In the Souti Pacific gigan-
tic shell, the trid@na gigas, is found,
which weighs about 800 pounds, and
men have been caught in 1t at low tide
and held until drowned. At or near
San Diego Chinaman was caught by
the hand by huge abalone shell and
drowned before ne was discovered.
Birds are often caught on oyster banks
at low tide, and Il fox was once seen
caught by the tail.

A prominent manufacturer Of this
city last week received a request from
Wood county farmer 10 take his boy
and teach him the blacksmith trade.
His reply embodles the conclusion Of
"a long business experience and the
boys, and girls too, Of to-day may profit
by reading il.
He says: II / should take him I
could not board him, and to hire his
board would cost all his wages, leaving
nothing for clothing.
He would have TO work three years
before he could command any wages.
He would have to work more than
three years before he would receive as
much wages as farm hands get now
Forty years ago we blacksmiths made
all the horse shoes and nails, all the
hinges for barn doors, gates, ETC., got
one shilling for small bolt which we
now buy for from one to five cents
Iron wedges, fire cranes, cIevices, clips,
In fact every article we then made is
now dropped out with hammers moved
by steam, or moulded and made into
maleable iron, and is all sold by the
piece in hardware stores.
The irons on buggy are drop-fOrged,
so l need but half the help to iron q
buggy that / did even twenty years
ago.
To have almost any trade in iron
work means the little tin dinner pail
all mans life, as he will have TO work
by the day in q large shop, as the coun-
try crossroads blacksmith of forty
years ago is played out.
But there is a bright side for your
boy. Ifhe is trusty farm hand he can
get SIS to SIS per month, or one dollar
per day and board at many kinds of out
door work, and in the three years he
would spend in learning trade he car
save enough to get team and imple
ments and go to farming for himself, oI
better, go west and grow up with the
country and become respected, hon.
Ored aud influential citizen, emphatic
ally his own master.
Our country is large and lays wide
open for our young men to enter. In
dustry and economy and honesty brins
success. We seldom meet tramp wh(
was raised on a farm.
Have your boy go to Toledo anC
spend few days and see how people
live who are confined to a city of it
size. There is where the tradesmar
must spend his Iife.--Fren,ont Mes
senger.

The Oldest and Best.

The Saturday Evening Post, of Philadel-
phia, enjoys the proud distinction of being
the oldest family and literary paper in Amer
lea, if not in the world. Originally estab-
lished by Benjamin franklin in 172S, and ap-
pearing in its present character in 1921, it has
had an INTERRUPTED career of 158 years! As
it's originator, Franklin, was one of the first
men of his time, or any time, both in ability
and eminence, the Post has ever tried to fol-
low its founder, by carrying out during its
whole course of existence the best aims and
highest purposes of a family newspaper. In
its management. conduct and choice of read
ing material, usefulness, purity, morality,
progress and entertainment have always been
its watchwords and its guides.
The history of the Post is the history of
American literature and authorship. Not to
speak of those who previous to and after the
War of the Revolution made it a power in the
land, since 1921, there is hardly writer fa-
NOUS in the world of letters whose works have
not adorned its pages. Among these may be
mentioned Horace Greedy, Dickens, Mrs.
Southworth, Poe, Halleck, Bryant, L. S. Ar
thur, Ned Buntline, Gilmore Simms, Ann s.
Stephens. Mrs. Henry Wood and others.
It is no wonder then that the Post claims
the right to add to the glory of being the old
est family paper, the even more honorable
title of also being the best. Always keeping
in sight of what was highest, purest, most en-
tertaining, in word, the best in literature,
it has never once failed in its long career to
90 forth as a weekly missionary into hun
dreds of thousands of the finest families in
all qua rters of the land, the most welcome
and cheSrful of visitors.
For th5 coming year the Post has secured
the best writers of this country and Europe,
in Prose and Verse, Fuct and Fiction. In
these respects as in the past it will only have
the best. Its pages will be perfectly free
| from the degrading and polluting trash which
| charctesizes many other so-called literary and
| family papers. It gives more for the money,
| and of a better class, than any other publica-
! ton in the world. Each volume contains, in
addition to its we'll edited department, TWEEN
| tv-fiye first class serials, and upwards of five
| hundred short stories. Every number is re-
plete with useful information and and amuse-
ment, comprising tales, sketches, biography,
anecdotes, statistics, facts, recipes, hints,
science, art, philosophy, manners. customs,
| proverbs, problems, personals, news, wit and
| humor, historical essays, remarkable events,
new inventions, recent discoveries, and a
complete rerort of all the latest fashions,
/ novelties in needlework, and fullest and fresh
| est information relating to personal and
home adornment, and domestic matters. To
the people everywhere it will prove the best,
most instructive, reliable and molal paper
that ever entered their homes.

paper will be sent free on application.

Girls as Workers.

A girls mind developes very rapid
ly, much more rapidly than an aver
age boys; and when an intelligent
girl shows any special ability in one
direction she improves in that especial
direction so quickly that one is de-
ceived into thinking she has genius fer
it; she herself becomes fired with am
bition, works hard,-and many girls
can work in a way that would shame
some boys, castles in the air
of future fame and greatness, gives up
other interests and hopes for the one
aim, which, alas! is often disappointed.
Nineteen out Of every twenty might
we not say ninety-nine out of every
hundredP- girls stop when you think
they are going to do something worth
doing, and never get any further.
They have talent which education has
brought out and deceived them into
mistaking for genius. There is, how
ever, one very great advantage in the
present rage for classes of all kinds,
and in the facilities for study in all di-
rections; it gives many girls an object
in life, even if they do not do anything
very great for the benefit of the na-

Is Your Wife A Beggar.

was oonversing the other evening
with young married man OF my ac-
quaintance, writes Boston correspon.
ent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, on o
subject which has recently attracted
some attention in the newspapers and
magazines namely, the financial re-
lations that should exist between hus-
band and wife. The ideas he ex.
pressed were SO strikingly original that
/ can not forbear to quote them. Said
he: Before abandoned the condition
of bachelorhood | had made up my
mind, from extended observations, that
the average husband was pig. | did
not wish to be pig myself, and so !
determined to pursue in everything a
course precisely the reverse of that
followed by the average husband. The
average husband makes a great fuss il
he is requested to do an errand. Ac-
cordingly make point of asking my
wife before | go to my office every
morning for a list of commissions,
which / execute with the utmost care.
The average husband at home bullies
the woman, frets like year-old infant
over everything that does not suit him,
and makes his family unhappy. | try
to do just the opposite. The average
husband doles out his money to his
wife as if she were beggar. There
fore, give my wife every cent / earn,
and she makes me an allowance for
pocket money.
''For it seems to me-" continued this
eccentric young man, "that the notion
entertained by the average husband
concerning his wife's rights in the
family purse is as wrong as wrong can
be. In sober truth he thinks she has
not any. He supports the family, and
for the money he generously gives her
she should be duly grateful. Now, in
my opinion, this is false assumption.
AS a rule, she does as much to support
the family ais he does. and | can very
easily prove it. Take my own case as
an example. We live very comforta-
bly,, although our means are not suffi-
nient to employ more than one
domestic. But if had no wife Ishould
have to engage housekeeper, with an
under servant, and it would cost me
nearly twice as much to keep up my
little establishment as it does now; in
fact, / could not live ON my in
come. Thus, you see, that my wife is
equally with myself q producer OF
values. She makes as much money
as but in another form. enjoy a
share of what she produces. Is she.
then, not entitled to a share of what
produce? What | have said is sim.
ply intended to cover the ease of the
average husband, who is pig. Ger
tainly no gentleman who deserves the
name will force his wife to beg for any
thing he has to give, whether he has a
right to it or not. !"
Now, did anybody ever hear of such
an absurd young man as this?

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and bafied the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not imme-
diately fatal it is among the most dis
tressing, nauseous and disgusting ills
the flesh is heir to, and the records
show very few or no cases of radical
cure of chronic catarrh by any OF the
multitude of modes of treatment until
the introduction of Ely's Cream Balm
a few years ago. The success of this
preparation has been most gratifying
and surprising. 2t
