MINE ACCIDENTS.

Wherever mining operations are
carried on to any great extent, there
will always occur accidents resulting
In the loss of limb and life. No other
class of workmen are subjected to the
dangers endured by the coal diggers,
and their condition 10 not an enviable
one. Their work may not be classed
as skilled labor, neverth eless it requires
not only intelligence but skill also to
perform it.
Recently accidents have occurred
quite frequently in the anthracite re
gion, and especially in this county
The places of old and experienced
miners are being filed by class OF
workmen who. before they reached
these shores, never saw a coal mine,
and their intelligence is not such as to
acquire that knowledge within a linn
tied time. He comes here imbued
with the idea that any one who can
WELD pick or shovel is fully qualified
to perform the dangerous work Of a
miner. He may be able to use the
scoop In loading cars, but there are
other requisites, acquired only by long
experience and close observation, of
which he knows nothing.
The great majority of accidents that
have occurred in this region in recent
years are traceable to the unskilled
labor that is now being employed in
the mines. Scarcely day passes i
the course Of which oar columns d.
not record mine disaster. SO com
mon have they become that they are
regarded almost as matters Of course.
An accident occurs to-day, blighting q
once happy home, and removing per-
haps, the only means Of their eXis-
tence, and tomorrow The occurrence
is forgotten save by the immediate
family and their friends. 1t is not so
with the eatastrophies that occur upon
the sea. A court martial is at once
ordered, and the minutest details Of
the disaster are brought to light.
On July 4th dreadful explosion oc-
CURED in mine in Thornhill, York
shire, England, causing the death of
one hundred and twenty miners. We
hear Of no investigation similar 10 that
resulting from the sinking Of the Vic
tOria, and the event is now almost for
gotten. But the Yorkshire victims
were only miners.
The calling Of the miner is also
poorly paid one. Ia proportion to the

WILD PIGEONS.
The Immense Flight of the Birds Seen by d
Man in Michigan.

The Immense Flight of the Birds Seen by
Man in Michigan.
The largest nesting he ever visited
vas in 1878 or 1877. 1t began near Pc
toslly and extended northeast past
Crooked lake for twenty-eight miles,
averaging three or four miles wide.
The birds arrived in two separate
bodies, one directly from the south by
land, the other following the east
coast of Wisconsin and crossing at
Manitou Island. He saw the latter
body come in from the lake at about 8
o'clock in the afternoon. 1t was a COM
pact mass of pigeons, at least five
miles long by one mile wide. The birds
began building when the snow was
twelve inches deep in the woods, al
though the fields were bare at the time.
So rapidly did the colony extend its
boundaries that it soon passed literally
over and around the place where he
was netting, although, when he began,
this point was several miles from the
nearest nest. Nestings usually start
in deciduous woods, but during their
progress the pigeons do not skip any
kind of trees they encounter. The Pc
tosl1y nesting extended eight miles
through hardwood timber, then
crossed a river bottom, wooded with
arbor Vita, and thence stretched
through white-pine woods about
twenty miles. For the entire distance
Of twenty-eight miles every tree of any
size had more or less nests, and many
trees were filed with them. None was
lower than about fifteen feet above the
ground.
At least Eve hundred men were en-
gagged in netting pigeons during the
great PetosSy nesting of 1881 Mr.
Stevens thought they may have cap
tured on an average twenty thousand
birds apiece during the season. Some
times two carloads were shipped south
on the railroad each day. Neverthe-
less, he believed that not one bird in a
thousand was taken. Hawks and owls
often abound near the nesting. Owls
can be heard hooting there all night

Tie old town presents a half ori.

few 5plendid palaces, which belong to
the late dictators and their families
and lavorites, sandwiched among huts
of mud and cane, with bark roofs and
one window apiece. Palms, bananas.
passion flowers and other tropical
plants and blooms abound-but you
meet few people, and those are mostly
women. The grassy streets, according
to a Paraguay correspondent, have a
sad deserted look, constantly remind
ing one that the sons, and husbands
and lovers and brothers perished on
the battlefelds or died of starvation In
hiding, or rotted In prison, as thou
sands did who were ignorant even Of
what they were accused, or were tor
tured and murdered by the three ty-
rants who ruled and ruined the coun-
try. Here women do the work that In
other parts of the world is monopol-
ized by the stronger sex--such as
cleaning the streets, loading the ships,
driving the OK crrts, cultivating the
fields carrying on the markets, ETC.,
and it is said that during the long,
hard war, they made the best and
bravest soldiers. Naturally, where
men are in the proportion OF one to
seven, they are 90 higher premium
than elsewhere, and in Paraguay they
are iiguratively kept in cottonwood by
their admiring female relatives.

THE Christian Endeavor Societies,
who have been holding their conven
ton at Montreal, are doing an inn.
mense amount of beneficial work iu
all parts of the country. The local
society especially is to be commended
for its work in lifting men from con.
ditions of vice and immortality up to
honorable places and correct living.
The beauty of such work consists in
the privacy with which it is accom-
plished. No ruined or debased man
is reminded of, his condition by those
who seek to rescue him. Their work
of attending the sick aud needy is
also TO be commended. The Christian
Endeavors of this town have fruitful
field in which to work, aud should re-
ceive much encouragement.

The Importance of providing private
appliances for the extinction of fires in
mansions is gradually becoming recog-
nized by country gentlemen, for although
the nearest town may be equipped with
powerful engines, the time occupied in
sending for these and in their returning

their aid almost useless. Lord Brassey
has recently been anxious for tho safety
of his house at Battle, near Hastings,
and after seeking advice from an ex-
porionced engineer he has had IL reser-
voir constructed under his lawn holding

she writes my record is to me, at least,
satisfactory. No headache, constantly in

Six weeks later she writes: "Have read
and sewed immoderately of late, but my
headaches do not return"
Mrs. John r. Miller,of Valparaiso, Ind,
was attacked three years ago with turn of life
in its worst form. 1t finally went to her
head, and all indications were that it would
result either in insanity or softening Of the
brain. Her husband thus writes: 1t would
