Salaries of BOY Singers.

The salary of boy singer begins at
forty dollars and is gradually raised
from year to year according as he dis.
plays ability until he receives as much
as three or four hundred dollars year.
The salaries of men singers vary great
ly' because some churches are very poor
and cannot afford to pay SO much; they
range all the way from one hundred
dollars year to one thousand dollars.
Once in awhile very superior solo
singer will receive twelve hundred dol

or four times week in the morning. I

SOCIAL SUCCESS.

Must Listen, Not Talk.
A woman to be most agreeable must
listen, says Kate Field. Keep a man
wound up. Look as though you were
hanging on his lips and he'll think YOU
charming. For my part like to listen.
It's great deal better fun to make
others talk than to talk ones self. The
listener never makes n fool of herself,
because she says nothing She cannot
make enemies by the expression of
opinion, for she expresses none. She
learns deal about other people, and
nobody learns anything about her. She
gives no offense by egotistic assertion.
The takers call her sympathetic be-
cause she has allowed all to have their
own way ! don't say that a woman
Should cverlastingly hold her tongue
there are men who insist upon an in
terchange of ideas; but it is ALWAYS safe
TO start man upon the subject of him

touch the responsive chord and be en-
tertained, us everybody can talk well
on what is nearest the heart.

A woman may serve up wit or cpl

but she must forget herself if she wants
to be welcome in society. In fact, if a
woman is not born unselfish let her as

provided she dresses we'll. she will be

THE CANNiEAL PLANT,

1t Furnishes Striking Figure in a
French Writer'S Story.
Some years ago striking story was
published in France describing a won
derful fesh-eating plant discovered by
great botanist. If we remember right
~, the story recounted how a certain
collector discovered plant of the fy-
trap species of so gigantic size that it
could consume huge masses of raw meat.
says the London Spectator. Just as the
hy-catching plant snaps up fly and
draws nutrimcnt from the fy's dead
body, SO this one fed itself on the
legs OF mutton and sirloins of beef
which were thrown into its ravening
NAV. The botanist in the story, for
some reason-possibly fear of having
MS plant destroyed as dangerous to pub
lie safety-keeps the existence of the
plant o secret. and preserves it in a

accompanied by an old school friend of
the husband. When the pair reach the
inner conservatory they see, to their
horror, the infatuated botanist tossing
bleeding joints of raw meat into the
huge jaws OF giant hytrap. They are
at first petrified with horror At last,
however, the wife throws herself into
the arms OF her husband and implores
him to give updwellingupo the horrible
carnlvorous nonstrosity which he has
discovered and reared. Unfortunately.
however, the wife, in appealing to her
husband, goes too close to the plant.
Its huge tcntacles surround her and
then proceed to drag her in, and the
two stupefied men see the plant begin
to devour its victim. Fortunately,
however, the friend catches sight of an
AK lying near, and seizing this he
strikes at the roots of the plant. A few
frenzied blows do the necessary work,
and the flesh eating plant tumbles to
the ground and releases from it's
clutches the terrified woman. The bot
anist, however, cannot survive his most |
cherished discovery, and with the ex-

| Many Accidents Are Prevented, But This
| We Never Hear About.
1t is not singular that in view Of the
many fatalities that yearly occur in
mines, even where inspection laws are
most stringent and inspectors are nu-
mcrous, that the laymar, should inquire:
| does state supervision protect, after
all?' An affirmative answer, well for
tilted with facts. may readily lie given,
but must here be stated only in brief

Since the work is based upon the
maxim that to prevent is better than to
cure, its utility cannot readily be per-
ceived by the superficial observer. FIRE.
quently recurring or great disasters are
widely advertised, but we do not, nor
could we well expect to, hear of the in
Vulnerable instances of budding disas-
ter that have been prevented from ma
turing; nor, when disaster has come, do
we learn to what extent state interven-
ton has reduced the dangerous copdi-
tlons so that the event was confined to
narrower limits than would otherwise
have been the case How many of the
smaller accidents occur which are, in
fact, purely accidental, while relieving
the high tension that would surely con-
duce to greater casualties, we have no
means OF knowing. But if we turn to
the history of fatalities in countries
and states where the inspection laws
are good and the inspection force suffi-
cient we find gratifying story For
England the Collicry Guardian saws:
THE ratios of the fatal accidents and
the deaths to the number of persons
employed in and about the mines under |
the present and former coal mines acts |
Show that the occupation of the miner is |
now more than twice as safe as it was at |
the commencement of the inspection"
The average ratio for the first act was
one death for every 233 persons EN-.
ployed; for 1890 it was one death for
every $50. In this country Pcnnsylva-
MIA has in every respect the most COM
prehensive and the strongest law, and
yet more fatal accidents are reported
from that state than from any other
section of the union. Still the Colliery
Engineer asserts that there is no
1oubt that two tons of coal are mined
now per life lost in the mines to one ton
mined before the mine law was passed."
n the region under the writer's imme-
late care, the fatalities have been re-
luced from one to every $50 persons en-
'loyed underground in 1888 to one for
very 40l in 1889 and one for every 6O4
n 1890.
