carpenter of the Norfolk &
Southern Railroad, having held
that position ever since the road
was first built was accldently
run over and killed by the south

He had just eaten his dinner
and stepped out the car he used
for sleeping and dining purposes
and was going up the road when
the train struck him. He was
walking on the side track and
it is supposed that he heard the
train coming, and, thinking he
was on the main trace, stepped
over to the next track and at that
instant he was struck. His skull
was crushed and the whole top
of his head taken off Both legs
were broken at the knees and
were ground to pulp. His re-
mains were taken to Norfolk, his

GREWSOME SIGHTS IN A MINE.
The Trip Down n Deep Shaft Full
of Thrill to the TenderfOOt.

The Trip Down a Deep Shaft Full
of Thrill to the TenderfOOt.
Going down into the mine is indeed
a thrilling experience and one rather
Overwhelming to the "tcndcrfoot' says
a writer in Casters Magazine. Envei-
Oped in suits of waterproof, with hats
of Oilskin and provided with candles, Il
party ready for the descent presents a
greWSOme spectacle, reminding one for
chilly of certain conceptions of Dore.
The cage, which serves for both passen-
ger and freight, rises to level with the
floor of the shafthouse, and is simply
a platform of wood with uprights and
framing of iron. This fits closely in
the shaft, being lowered and raised by
means Of machinery puzzling enough
to the interested stranger, with it's
drum, sheaves, cable and various safe
ty appliances. To take a position ON
that little square of wood. feeling that
on this machinery, (which does some
times break, you know" hangs all ones
hope, requires some courage. A ray Of
comfort is derived from the assurance
of the foreman that this same cage has
safely carried down and up all the del
vers below with never an accident yet.
With the warning, fellows in," the
cage drops. With a gasp one reaches
wildly about to find nothing to hold to
in that damp darkness, growing so
dense as that square hole of daylight"
diminishes so rapidly, and down we
glide, through trickling waters without
jar and in utter silence till, with a thud
the cage stops, $500 feet underground.
The dim candle light casts wierd
shadows as we follow the superintend-
ent along a narrow gallery, cut in the
igneOus rock to connect the vein with
the shaft. At the intersection another
long gallery extends to the right and
left but it's parallel walls are smooth,
often highly polished, at times four feet
apart; again more, but always with an
inclination to the vertical. These are
the faces of the assured rock between
which, overhead and below, is the vein
matter. Through the gloomy darkness
we pick our way cautiously along the
narrow plank, resting on the ties over
the gutterway. Below us the water
PUSHES down to the shaft, emptying in
to the ''sumD," a continuation of the
shaft below the lowest level, serving as
a well out of which the water is lifted
by the great pumps, whose continual
beat, up and down, up and down, with
monotonous regularity, breaks the ST.
lence like the thrOb of some great hid
den heart Climbing a ladder, or rath-
er five ladders-for there is platform
at every twenty feet-in Egyptian dark
ness, illumined only by the light Of a
candle, with ice cold water dripping
from each round and trickling along
ones arm, and small torrent from the
tarpaulin hat down ones back, is apt
to dampen, if not to eradicate forever
any lingering fancy for Il miners life.

having the girths frightened and put
ting on gloves before taking the reins
and putting the knee in place is dan
gerous as well as incorrect. The adj
vantage Of the right position over the
wrong one is soon realized, as 1t
changes the grip and gives so much
more purchase.
The first point in a good position lis
sit well back in the saddle with the
shoulders square to the front and press
down from the hip to the knee close
to the saddle; when sure that 1t Is
down grasp the pommel, as it is from
this knee one must rise. The leg hangs
straight and close to the horse, with
the toe depressed to avoid breaking
the line of the skirt" The arms should
fall naturally at the sides, bending in
at the elbow without any awkward
lines. The muscles above the waist
should be relaxed to avoid stiffness,
while the lower ones should be firm.
AS a woman becomes accustomed to
her position she loses her self-consci-
BUSINESS and sits naturally and grace
fully, but she must never allow herself
to become limp.
''The hands should be held about
two-thirds of the way back between
the right knee and the hip, and as low
as possible. The wrists should be bent
so that the knuckles point straight
ahead with the thumbs up, so that the
play will be entirely from the wrist,
while the reins will be held in the left
hand with the right on them, 50 as to
be ready in case of need. 1t is quite
proper to hold the reins in both hands,
but quite close together"
Wisdom in Sparing the Whip.
In trying to mount restless horse

saddle as expeditiously as possible and
once mounted walk the horse a little
