She Can Do Much Toward Making Home
Life ideally Pleasant.
One of the sweetest things a girl can
do is to receive friends graciously, par
ticularly at home. In ones own house
a cordial manner is particularly fit
ting. Do not stand off in the middle
of the room and bow coldly and formal
ly to the friend who has called. Walk
over to meet her; give her your hand
and say pleasantly that you are very
glad to see her again. Stiff, cold and
formal ways of greeting acquaintance
are not proper in girl welcoming
guests to her fathers house.
A daughters part is to assist her
mother on every social occasion. The
girl pours the tea in her mothers draw
ing-room when friends drop in at five
o'clock. Quite often, when no maid is
present, she helps the guests to the
sandwiches and the cakes which are
served at five o'clock tea, and herself
hands the cups and takes them from
the guests who would like to be re.
lieved.
Apart from and more important even
than her manner to guest who hap
pens in for an hour or day is the man.
ner of daughter to her father and
mother. The father returns to his
home after wearying day at business.
He is tired in body and mind. Coming
back, as his latchkey turns in the home
door, he thorws off care; he is joyous
at the thought Of the dear ones he will
meet after hours of absence.
His young daughter, in a pretty
gown, with the bloom and freshness
only girlhood wears, should be ready
to give him the attention he loves. the
kiss, the CHEEKY word-to help her
mother and the rest in letting he father
see how much he is loved at home.
Men give up great deal for their fami-
lies--their time, their strength, the
knowledge they have gained in life's
experiences-they spend everything
freely for their homes sake, and the
home should pay its debt in much out

A COLORADO HORROR.
Fifty Miners Entombed by an Ex.
plosion Of Gas.
The Vulcan Mines at Newcastle the Scene
of y Heart Rending Cslamity-No
Hope for the Imprisoned
WOrkmen.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, Col, Feb. 49,
A gas explosion occurred in the Vulcan
mine at Newcastle, just before II
o'clock yesterday, when there were
between so and so men at work. At
the shaft mouth a hole 100 feet square
was blown out Ed WEIGH, who was
at the mouth of the tunnel when the
explosion took place, was blown to
atoms Timbers two feet square were
blown into the Grand river, 400 feet
away. 1t is almost certain that all the
men in the mine persisted.
Smoke rushed from the shaft in
dense black clouds, which prevented
the entrance of anyone. The fans
were the only means of supplying air
to the workmen, and as these were com.
pletely demolished, the last hope Of
anyone being found alive was cut of.
The scene at the mine was one of the
widest confusion. Wives and children

fro, tearing their hair and rending the

calamity brings.

the sudden disaster. No warning was
given the peaceful villagers until .
sudden report, as from q hundred cam
non, resounded throughout the valley,
making the earth tremble. People
rushed out Of homes and places of
business to see what had happened,
and one look toward the Vulcan was
sufficient, for a dense cloud of smoke
issuing from the mouth of the slope
met the eyes of the gazers and told the
tale of death.
The cause of the explosion is not yet
known. The coal fields in which the
Vulcan mine is located have been
trou bled with subterranean gases for
many years and it is thought that the
disaster may have been caused by the
breaking into an immense pocket of
gas. On February State Coal
Mine Inspector Grifiiths inspected the
mine and pronounced it in spendid
condition, and the work is said to have
been done at all times in the most
careful manner.
The Vulcan has always been fruit
full source of disauiet to the Canon City
Fuel Co. Despite its bad reputation,
the company maintains that If only an
explosion occurred that was not fol-
lowed by fire there were frequent
places in the tunnels and drifts for the
men to seek refuge. But the violent
surface disturbance does not tolerate
the belief that anyone is saved from
the wreck and miners have abandoned
hope.
The mine was running almost to its
full capacity, owing to the fuel var
that has been waged in the west, and
was shipping 10 to 10 cars day.
Owing to the dangerous character Of
the mine the miners were not allowed
to enter the slope with any matches in
their possession, but the rule was not
enforced, for, although death was i'm
minent for anyone venturing to strike
a light, some of the more ignorant
miners could not be taught that their
lives depended on the observance Of
the order and frequent attractions of
the rule. were reported at headquar-
tiers.

COMFORTABLE PEOPLE.
They Know What to Do and What to Bay

They Know What to Do and What to Say
at the Right Time.
It is often said that 1t takes all sorts
of people to make the world, and of tho
many varieties, to the credit Of human
nature be it spoken, not the least nu-
,nerous is the comfortable or comfort
making species, says Harper's Bazaar.
These people are to be found every
where, doing their duty in such sweet,
modest fashion that one scarcely an
alyzes the elements which make up
their attractiveness even while basking
in the warm glow Of their kindnesses
and feeling how good and pleasant it
is to live with them.
They are endowed with the rare gift
of knowing what to say and what to do
at the right time and in the right way.

sibilities nor give the impression that
they are anxiously ON the watch to help,
which latter is often too apt to produce
feeling of burdensome Indebtedness.
Indeed, 1T is not always in what COM
Portable people do, it is quite as much
iii what they judiciously leave undone
that their peculiar charm consists, and
positive and decided AZ is their in1u.
ence yet it may be fully and thoroughly
described by negatives.
They never fret and tume over the in.
evitable, they make no arrogant pre-
tensions and naturally therefore they
indulge in no harsh structures, no un-
gentle criticisms. They are equally
free from that distressing mock mod
esty which practices morbid self-in-
trospection and bestows the results Of
the process on small public too bored
and Indifferent to appreciate the con-
ridences.
They never attitudinize as martyrs,
no matter how great the sacrifices they
make, their self-effacement being SO
genuine that it is truly invisible. They
never stroke one the wrong way, nor do
they indulge in nagging, that annoying
and perhaps most intolerable of the
small foes to the peace of household,
while the disagreeableness inflicted by
those who do practice the irritating art
is borne with such piacidity that the
sharp tongues are reduced to silence
through very shame.

Not necessarily" answered Cath
crime, coolly, though she avoided her
husbands eyes as she spoke.
With something Of the feeling of hav-
ing received n cold shower bath, John
finished his supper in silence; and
little later, the two who had been made
one went their separate ways.
TAe elegant parlors at Mrs. Fond
mothers were brilliant with gaslight
and fragrant with the scent Of flowers.
The Ideal club was there to woman,
and bright faces and pretty gowns
were grouped about the rooms like gor-
geous bouquets. Swiftly flew the nim-
bic tongues as the momentous ques-
tions of the day were handled and dis
cussed with startling freedom. Oddly
enough, however, the principal topic
to be dissected was touched upon but
lightly, and Mrs. Blucstocking, who
seldom failed to air her ideas on all sub
jects. was strangely silent.
Meanwhile, in the smoking-room OF
the Hob-Nob clubhouse, a group of gen.
tlemen were talking earnestly together.
AS usual, John Bluestocl<ing held the
floor.
81 tell you, boys. there is no other way
to do" he was saying earnestly. Eve
must take them by storm"
Suppose they won't let us in?' said
Sam Verybright, obviously.
"Pshaw, man! You know the saying
about faint heart" cried John, scorn-
fully. $50 we may Us well try it, any
way"
"All right, John. You take the lead
and we'll follow" cried Tom Wisdom,
excitedly. "Call upyour messenger boys
and send word to as many of the fellows
as you can find. and let's hustle or we
won't get there before they break up"
and with IL few more words, the gentle
men dispersed, TO meet again an hour or
two later.
Ice cream and cake were being handed
about, and the members of the Ideal
club were growing more sociable and
confidentially inclined as they enjoyed
the refreshing sweets. Dorothy Very.
bright leaned over and whispered to her
friend, Mrs. Bluestocking: why SO
silent tonight, Catherine?"
A little flush crept up into Catherine
face as she answered, softly: "To tell
the truth, Dorothy, can think of moth
ing this evening but john"
1t was Dorothy's turn to color as she
glanced at her friend little confuselly.

A woman's Cure for Insomnia.

l notice in contemporary an ex.
traordinary suggestion regarding in.
somnia, namely, that TO have a pet cat
sleeping in the room is the best remedy
for this trying complaint, the animals
presence exercising a sort of magnetic
and soothing influence which compels
sleep. A friend. who is n remarkably
good sleeper, always has her beloved
Persian cat in the room, but in this case
the influence is rather the other way,
as the atfectionate creature, when
wakeful itself, often arouses its mis-.
tress with imperative demands to be
caressed. The author of this curious
theory says that the cat must not be
treated with indifference; it's friend.
