Down in a Coal Mine.

All at once far ahead, shone little
was tiny, indefinite thing, like wisp
light. We seemed to be looking at it
through a great fog. Presently there were
two of them. They began to move to and
fro and dance before u.s.
After time we came upon two men
crouching where the roof of the passage
came near to meeting the floor If the
picture could have been brought to where
IT would have had the opposition and the
contrast of the glorious summer time
earth it would have been grim and
ghastly thing The garments of the men
were no more sable than their faces, and
when they turned their heads to regard
our tramping party their eyeballs and teeth
shone white as bleached bones. 1t was
like the grinning of two skulls there in
the shadows. The tiny lamps in their hats
made trembling light that left weirdly
shrouded the movements of their limbs
and bodies. We might have been con-
fronting terrible specters
But they said, Hello, JIM" to our
conductor. Their mouths expanded in
smiles-wide and startling smiles.
In moment they turned again to their
work. When the lights of our party re-
enforced their two lamps, we could see
that one was busily drilling into the coal
with long, thin bar The low roof ON
inously pressed his shoulders as he bent
at his toll. The other knelt behind him
on the loose Jumps of coal
He who worked at the drill engaged in
conversation with our guide He looked
back over his shoulder, continuing to
poke away. when are yeh goin t. meas
ure this up, Jimf" he demanded. do

well, I'd measure it up today, only
amt got me tape" replied the other.
"Well, when will yehp Yeh wanta hur-
ry up" said the miner. II don't wanta
git killed"
'Oh, I'll be down ON Monda'."
"Hump!"
They engaged in sort of alteration in
which they made jests.
you'll be carried out O. here feet first
before long"
"Will II"
Yet one had to look closely to under
stand that they were not about to spring
at each others Threats. The vague illu-
mination created all the effects Of the
snarling of two wolves
We came upon other little low rooted
chambers, each containing two men-a
"miner," who makes the blasts, and his
'laborer," who loads the coal upon the
cars and assists the miner generally And
at each place there was this same effect Of
strangely satanic smiles and eyeballs wild
and glittering in the pale glow of the
lamps.-McClure's Magazine.

Ideas to Order.

1t has generally been supposed that for
cuteness of suggestion and for go ahead
kinds of business the Yankee Is unequaled.
But Britishers need no longer retain the
notion. Such was the thought of the writer
on perusing the following advertisement
IN daily paper recently;
Ideas and suggestions for every kind
Of business or profession; titles for novels;
suggestions Of all kinds; novelties strik-
Ing, brilliant and successful; money is in
every one of them. Write to - or call.
Then he set about discovering the indi-
vidual who is responsible for this an
pouncement. In suit of handsomely fur
nished rooms near Charing Cross our rep
resentative found 1.-THE man Of ideas"--a
bright, keen, intellectual individual, with
dark eyes that almost flashed at and
through you.
The reply to our first question as to how
he came to start such an institution was
epigrammatic, 1T started itself-that is
to say, it was one Of my ideas"
And then he went on to say what he did
and tell of the people who made use Of his
services

IN GENERAL.
Nature In RepOse.

We wandered to the pine forest
That skirts the oceans foam,
The lightest wind was in its nest,
The tempest in its home.
The whispering waves were half asleep,
The clouds were gone to play,
And on the bosom of the deep
The smile Of heaven lay;
1t seemed as If the hour were one
Sent from beyond the skies,
which scattered from above the sun
A light Of paradise.
We paused amid the pines that stood
The giants of the waste,
Tortured by storms to shapes as rude
As serpents interlaced,
And soothed by every azure breath
That under heaven is blown,
To hsrmonies and hues beneath
As tender as its own;
Now all the treetops lay asleep,
Like green waves on the sea,
As still as in the silent deep
The ocean woods may be.
How calm 1t was the silence there
By such chain was bound,
That even the busy woodpecker
Made stiller by her sound
The inviolable quletness;
The breath of peace we drew
With its soft motion made not less
The calm that round us grew.
There seemed from the remotest seat
OF the wide mountain waste,
To the soft flower beneath our feet
magic circle traced;
A spirit interfused around
A thrilling. silent life
To momentary peace it bound
Our mortal natures strife.
