MULES IN COAL MINES.
Underground Life Seems to Suit Them

L =
| Save That They Become Blind.
A dispatch to the Sun a few days ago
from the anthracite coal regions saying
that the miEe mule must go owing to
| the introduction of a compressed air
motor, suggested an inquiry into the
underground life of a mule. The writer
the other day took a trip 1880 feet
| into the depths of West Brookside col
| liery in Schuylkill county to see how
mules lived there. The strange noises
| that startle the visitor in the mine
have no effect on the patient mule. In
his stall, surrounded by solid, hard coal,
black as night, the mule stands quietly,
| and munches his portion of oats and
hay. Indeed, there are no flies on him.
No matter how intense the summer
heat may be on the surface or how thick
insects may be in the broad light of day,
the mine mule wears out no shoes in
stamping to rid his limbs of the pests.
Fifty mules were in the stable of
West Brookside colliery, occupying a
place in an old gangway. There was
plank floor for each mule, with run
ming water, and plenty of provender,
but it was all in surroundings black as
night. Some of them had not seen the
light of day for five years. Many be-
come blind from the coal dust or from
being struck by flying particles OF
coal. After they have been in a mine
for six months or more the mules be-
come at home in their inky surround
ings. No matter how far they are
from the stable at meal hours, they can
find their way in the dark, bewildering
chambers and passageways, and get
home as quickly as anyone else. If a
rope or a chain breaks at the mine
cars, the knowing mule has the sagacity
to run out of danger with great celeri-
ty, just as if he had been injured be-
fore, and didn't want to be hurt again.
Some of the mules have been on duty
for ten years, and are still in good con-
dition and see well, showing that life
underground does not disagree with
them. The temperature the year
through is more even than on the sur
face, and extreme cold weather is not
known in the bowels of the earth.
Death and flood only cause mules to be
hoisted If one dies his body is taken
out and buried. If the mine is flooded
the mules are hurried to the shaft and
hoisted up. When they see the light of
day they keep up continuous blink
ing and shaking of the head until they
become reconciled to the new condi-
tons.
Mules have not many ailments, but
cold draughts of air in the mine cham
bers sometimes lay them up. Unfore
seen accidents also lame them. The
stable lads and the drivers are kind to
the beasts and their treatment far be-
low ground is likely better than mules
generally receive above ground. The
.verage life of the mule in the mines is
about eight years.-N. Y. Sum-

ENGINES THAT ARE HoopooEp.
Strange Stories Told by the Men I'm
The IIIinnis Central Shnna

the Illinois Central Shops.
Every engine that comes for repairs to
the great shops of the Illinois Central at
Burnside has story of interest to tell.
Sometimes the engine is an old bunker"
that looks as fit might have served as
ballast for Noah's ark, and its recital
of injuries may be the commonplace re-
lation of pig on the track and bump
ing over ties to the damage of frame
and rivets. Again it may be the shape
less remains of what once pulled the
finest vestibuled express on the road,
and its story may be mutely, but not the
less graphically, told on the footboard
by the stain that was once the blood of
the brave engineer or fireman.
Few engines as well as few en-
gineers serve very long on the road with
out going through an accident" said
man who has worked his way through
various positions to one of the most re-
sponsible posts in the greatshop. Some
of the engines come here as wrecks any
number of times. l guess there is no
fabrication about the stories one hears
of hoodooed engines. There are few
on every road. They cause more losses
of pay and position among the en-
gineers than all the rest of the rolling
stock, including the hand cars. They
seem infested with evil spirits. They
will start backward or forward when
there is nobody near the throttle, or so
1 have heard reputable engineers swear
with tears in their eyes. Of course, the
company doesn't believe it, and-the en-
gineer, if he has not already lost an arm
or leg, loses few weeks pay or his
position in consequence of something
which he could not help. These hoodoo
engines cut strange capers when they
break loose. If they can't manage to
knock the underpinning out from via
four somersaults into a creek, instead
Of smashing things in an ordinary way.
They generally damage themselvesve very
little, and we have to keep patching
them up and sending them out time and
again. If they would only destroy
themselves all the engineers would be
glad.
''Other engines only come to the shop
once, but then they come to stay. re-
member one engine that had gone re-
markedly long time without smashup
of any kind. 1t was run by one of the
oldest engineers on the road. He was
about 6S years old and had spent most
of his life as an engineer, yet he had
never been in wreck. One day, just be-
fore he pulled out, he said to the boys
that it would be his last run, as he was
going to retire from the road the next
day and spend the remainder of his life
in peace and comfort. He spoke truly
in part, for it was his last run. He was
going so miles an hour when he met
freight coming head on. The engineer
was instantly killed and there was not
much more than enough of that engine
left to make a good sized fish sinker
1t was the first accident and the last run
for both the engine and its driver

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

THE BROTHERS.

One was true-born rover
And saw all there was to be seen.
The seas were but mill-ponds of water,
And the land, little patches between.
He knew all the world like primer,
He read it and read ii again,
For there wasn't a part but he had 1t by
heart,
And after the manner of men.
And one fell in love with a woman
The sort that make excellent wives
They. made them a home in a cottage,
With Love. to the end OF their lives.
His world was broad as the ocean
And high as the heavens blue dome,
And with nothing worth being or knowing
or seeing
Beyond the snug harbor of home.
One owned the love of woman
With whom there were none to compare,
And one saw no woman so lovely
But what he saw others as fair.
One trained the rose Of contentment
To bloom in the garden of life,
And one knew the smiles of the world (and
its wiles)
But never the love of wife.

"MY WIFE'S LIFE"
How | was the means
of saving it.

When the lungs are attacked and the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which Stays its
thousands annually. 1t is happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, but it did in
the case of MT. K. Morris, Memphis, Tenn,
who saw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, and then sug-
gested the simple 1emedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
"Seven years ago. my wife had severe
attack of lung trouble which the ply
sicians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe-
cially. at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her, in
duced her to try DIR. Ayers Cherry PectoraI
and was surprised at the great relief it
gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured, that now she is strong and
quite healthy. That this medicine saved
my wife's life have not the least doubt.
I always keep DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectora1
in the house. Whenever any of my family
have cold or cough we use it, and are

The question: els consumption cura-
Bile 7" is still debated, and still debatab1e.
It is easy to say that this was not a case of
consumption. Yet the physicians said it
was. They should know. AS a matter
of fact, DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectoral has
wrought so many similar cures that 1t
seems to argue the curableness of con-
sumption. in its earlier stages by the use
of this remedy. There is no better medi-
cine for pulmonary troubles than DR..
Ayers Cherry Pectora1. 1t gives relief in
cases of Asthma, and Bronchitis, where re-
lief has been heretofore unattainab1e. 1t
promptly cures Coughs and Colds, La
Grippe, and all affections of the throat
and lungs. Heretofore, DR.. Ayers Cherry
Pectoral has been put up in full size
bottles only, at $I.oo per bottle. To meet
a wor 1d-wide demand for a smaller pack
age, the remedy is now put up in half size
bottles, at half price-5o cents. Write for
