ReflIinc of Old Coal Mines.

An ingenious artifce that has lately been
successfully put in practice at Shenandoah
by the Reading company, at the Kohinoor
colliery, for refilling the excavations from
which coal has been taken out, is worthy Of
mention, since it is desirable that it should be
initiated elsewhere throughout the coal re-
gions where similar conditions prevail. The
method is both simple and effective, and pre-
vents tho caving in of the earth above, and
the consequent loss of valuable property,
which has not been infrequent in the mining
towns of the anthracite region. Besides, the
valuable pillars of pure coal, which for many
years it was customary to leave in the mines
to prevent falling in of the roof, can now be
taken out without fear.
Already more than two acres beneath the
city Of Shenandoah, from which the coal had
been mined, have been again solidly reflled
with the coal dirt which used to be piled
mountains high around the town.

Tho Great Artesian Well District.

The James River valley, Dakota, is claimed
70 be the greatest artesian well district known
A comparison with other districts makes it ap-
pear that for pressure and area over which
they are found, this valley far surpasses
them all There are some fine wells in
France, but they are found only in favored
localities Some of the wells in France are Of
large bore, but in none does the pressure
equal any one Of fifty wells in the James val
ley, says Scientific American. Western Cali
fornia, from San Diego to near the northern
boundary Of the state, is proving itself to be
a fine artesian district, but strong pressure is
found only in limited areas, Nearly
every city and many of the small villages
from Yankton to jamestown have wells, and
the majority of these have very heavy pres
sure. The possibilities of the wells Of this
valley seem to be beyond estimation With
millions of gallons flowing daily, there has
been no diminution of the supply.

With a view to experiments in ostrich farm
ing in California, in 1882 some birds were
imported from Cape Town, and in 18S6-S7
further shipments were forwarded from
Natal. The last was made by Mr.. Cawston,
who landed forty-two birds out of fifty-two.
They were then taken to Mr.. Cawston's os-
trich farm in Los Angeles, Cal, where our
illustration was taken. Mr.. Cawston has
been successful in raising large number of
young birds-those in the illustration being
one and two weeks old. The climate and the
country-as had been expected-appear to be
admirably suited to the culture of these birds.
The experiment also appears to be fairly pro-
fitable, as from one small bird and two hens
he produced-principally by means of incu-
Naturalization chicks in one season

1t has extended as Iar west as LIMOS anu
south to Washington. Remedies commonly
recommended for this insect are not only be-
wildering in number, but many of them ut
terly Inefficient; therefore the following adj
vice given in Good Housekeeping by such
high authority as Dr. c. V. Riley, govern
ment entomologist, is Of the greatest value and
interest to perplexed housewives. DR.. Riley
says:
Where carpets are used, and only taken up
once year at ''house cleaning" the condi-
tions are very favorable for the insects in
crease, particularly where the house cleaning
is hurriedly and carelessly done. When a
house has once become infested nothing but
the most energetic measures will completely
rid it of the pest, and in complete radiance is
the only hope, as in year a very few indi-
Viduals will so increase as to do great damage.
At house cleaning time, then, as many rooms
should be barred at once as possible, and the
housekeeper should go carefully over the
rooms, removing all dust, and with hand
atomizer charged with benzine should puff
the liquid into all the floor cracks and under
the base boards until every crevice has been
reached.
The carpets themselves, after thorough
beating, should be lightly sprayed with the
same substance, which will quickly evapo-
rate, leaving no odor after short time. The
infammability of benzine should be remem-
bered, however, and no light should be
brought near it. This done, before relaying
the carpets it will be well to pour into the
cracks moderately thick mixture of plas-
ter of Paris and water, which soon sets
and fills them with a solid substance into
which the insects will not enter. Then lay
around the borders of the room q width of
tarred roofing paper and afterward relay the
carpets. This thorough treatment should an
swer in the very worst cases, and in house
so cleaned the insect will probably not regain
a foothold during the ensuing year. Cloth
covered furniture which may have also be-
come infested should be steamed or also treated
with benzine, and chests or drawers in which
infested clothing has been stored should be
thoroughly sprayed.
Another method of treatment, and one
which have frequently recommended, was
indicated by me in a former communication
to Good Housekeeping in rendering my de-
cision in the competition for best remedies for
household pests. 1t can beused to advantage
whenever the work of the larva is noticed or
suspected. 1t consists in laying damp cloth
IAN old towel or q folded sheet will do
smoothly over the suspected part of the car
pet and ironing it with a hot iron. The
steam thus generated will pass through the
carpet and kill all the insects Immediately be-
meath. If not too laborious an entire room
could be treated to advantage in this way.

The conductor, which is supported by heavy
insulated cast iron brackets, runs along.out-
side the outer guard rail Of each track Vt is
of round iron, three inches in diameter, and
is surmounted by, and in perfect electrical
contact with, a bar of phosphor bronze
three-eighths of an inch thick by one inch
wide. This bar takes all the wear from the con-
tact apparatus, and viii retain polished
surface under all circumstances. The sup
porting bracket is madein two parts, asmay
be seen in the illustration, and has grip suf
fcient to prevent all possibility of displace-
ment Of the conductor The conductor is ell
evated a considerable distance from the ties,
and the supporting brackets are well insulat-
ed, so that the chances of loss of electric en-
ergy through leakage are reduced to mini
mum. The difference in cost of iron and
copper admits of the greatly increased size
Of conductor, giving the same conductivity
at much less expense.

To Prevent Salt from Packing.

The tendency of table salt to pack together
In cruets and containers is said to be entirely
overcome by thoroughly drying the salt and
intimately minglng with it a small percent
age of dry corn starch or arrowroot. From
s to 10 per cent. is amply sufficient for the
most humid atmosphere las on the sea coast,
while much less percentage Of the starch i:
sufficient for inland points.

A Baseball Sermon.

In order to keep up with the base
ball times Dakota minister recently
preached the following sermon:
My Christian players, it is now
time for you to begin to bat Satan's
curves. Do not pound the air but
bat him over the fence. Get out on
the diamond Of Christianity and
catch every fly made by Satan's men.
You should make a home run for
mortality, and the side of right. No
one-bagger will tally on the great
judgment sheet. Every player should
make score of earned runs for re-
ligion. Do not steal out too far from
the base of righteousness and get out
on third. The devil may hold the
ball in his hand and deceive you and
rub it on you when you are not
watching. Never, my Christian nine,
never try to slide in on some members
faults. The errors made by other
members Of your club will not save
you on second. Every Christian team
should stand on it's own merits and
good Christian playing. You should
strike, for heavens sake, right from
the shoulder and do not knock sky
fouls for Satan's mon to catch. Make
no balks in your unerring faith, and
in the great judgement day you will
receive for your reward seventy-fve
per cent. Of the gate receipts.

An Error.

IT reports be true great injustice
has been done to man who is inno-
cent Of any crime, and who is COM
PEELED to spend term in the county
Jail on account of having made mis-
take, pure and simple. The circum-
stances as related are in substance as
follows:
In Tuscarora there were two ricks
OF wood close together, one belonging
to white man and the other to a
Chinaman. The white man sold
load Of wood, and the man who
bought it went to the wood yard and
: by mistake took three-quarters of
cord OF wood from the Chinaman's
rick. The Chinaman swore out a
warrant and the man who took the
wood was arrested. At the trial the
one who sold the wood was present
and he and the defendant stated how
the mistake occurred and the owner
/ OF the rick stated that it was purely
a mistake and offered to take from
his wood and make good to the Chi
naman the amount taken by the de-
PENDANT through mistake. Notwith-
standing this explanation the defend
ant was found guilty of petty larceny
and sentenced to term in the county
Jail.
If the above be true statement of
the facts in the case the young man
should not have been compelled to
suffer the indignity of term in the
county Jail, and great wrong has
been done to an innocent man; but
there may be another side to the
story.
