month the clerk says: "Why, Thomas, only $3 this month";" "Well, my wife bought few things from her cousins store" "Oh, yes, I eee." The next week the foreman says: "Well, Thomas guess we won't work that pocket any longer" All right" says Thomas, ''where shall we go next?" Well, I don't know yet," and he never does know. Thomas is not discharged, but they are not ready yet. A little over a year ago 1 visited some coal mines in Illinois, and found one village called "Kelly's Patcb," where the men were paid off in beer after their store &C., counts were settled In one mine where 300 men were employed there was an average of one man killed a week. In one of these villages there was not even a day school. Now it is quite true that men make s day for time, but when the average for the year is taken the wages are too small to supply the decensies of American life.

What Commissioner Mcdonald says about permanent road improvements in the small towns deserves 8 careful reading, and we doubt not his suggestion will be acted on in some instances. He says :: 1 have received applications for state aid from GA towns, and the money they will use will leave just a little of the $100, 900 appropriated by the state. Of the balance left over l will place small amounts at the disposal of poor country towns which cannot afford to do any macadamizing yet, and will apply the money to reducing grader. Every town appropriating $500 toward the elimin. ation of steep hills can have $500 from the state appropriation until the money is all gone. I believe that the spirit of the good roads law permits me to make tha use of the money, and I am of th' opinion that the reduction of grades i quite as important a feature of roat improvements as the hardening of tn surfaces. A trip through. the hilly town of the northern part of the state woul' convince the most skeptical of the trutl of this theory, and l am going to work for all 1 can with the towns. With tn hills cut down for starter, the town would quickly see the advantage to b derived from good roads and the res would soon follow.

The miners of the Central states have the sympathy, we believe, of people generally in their struggle for what they believe to be their rights. Rev W. G. Puddefoot, one of the sec retaries of the Congregational Home Missionary society, and an impartial observer, writes as follows to the Springfield Republican: In regard to the men engaged in strike in the coal regions, last June was called to visit the annual meeting of the Congregation al churches in Pennsylvania. Many of the visiting ministers preached in min ing towns and complained of very hard times. I questioned them as to the cause. They all without an exception said that their membership was largely made up of miners, and that the men had not more than eight days work munth for over nine months, and some of them made less than $1 day, while some made $2 and in ssome cases g. 50 a day.

SERIOUS ACCIDENTS TO B1oYcL1sTs.

l SERIOUS ACCIDENTS TO BICYCLISTS.
 On Wednesday morning of last week a seriousGa accident occurred in the piece of woods commonly known as the ''Green woods" near the residence of NJ. J. Briggs. W. W. Denslow, the we'll known illustrator, and his wife, from Chicago, who have been visiting relatives in Patterson, left that place Wednesday morning on their wheels for trip to Marblebale. On arriving on at the top of the hill at the opening of the woods, they failed to observe the abruptness of the descent or the rough ness of the road. Near the middle of the hill ,Mr Danslow, who was some what in advance of his wife, lost con- trol of his wheel and was thrown vio- lently to the ground severely injuring his knee. In her fright at seeing this, Mrs Denslow, who was coming at full speed down the hill lost one of the pedals and near the lower part of the decliviTy her wheel struck sharp rock throwing her over the machine into 8 pile of loose stones, breaking her collar bone and fracturing her shoulder. Both being rendered helpless from the nature of their injuries, it would have fared hard with them had not help came in the shape of M. J. Briggs who was re- turning from the Center, and who to ok them to his home where they were made as comfortable Aas possible under the circumstances. Later in the afternoon they were taken to Patterson by MT Briggs, and up to present writing are doing as we'll as might be expected.

With the horrible Nichols murder in Trumbull at our very doors, the people of this section of the state have had no interest for the extraordinary cases in other states. But Chicago has been ex- cited over peculiar case. The Spring field Republican gives these facts in re. gard to it: MT Luetgert is a wealthy sausage maker, and one day his wife dis appeared, never to be seen again. The state charge that he murdered her and then destroyed the body in vat Of caus- tic potash at the sausage factory. It will be case dependent wholly on cir cumstantial evidence, yet it is said to be very strong. Last Saturday an experi- ment was made by which cadaver was actually consumed in the liquid, such as is used in the sausage factory, and noth- ing remained of it after two hours save a few small splinters of bone. Thus the prosecution will be able to prove that a body could be 80 disposed of, and if they can also make good the chain of evidence the future is dark for MT Luetgert. The case recalls that of Dr Parkman of course, because the doctors body was all destroyed by Prof Webster in fur mace, save the tell-tale teeth that had been filled with gold.

The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a :trong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. 1t seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi-
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
of the surgeon is reck1essly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, 1t is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even if
successful.
1t is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and a sur
gical operation is their only method of
treating deep-seated cases, such as cam
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.

Professor Exner of the Vienna
Medical society, treating of the
of the human hair, re-
marks upon the somewhat curious
fact that writer's have hitherto oc-
cupied themselves mainly with
speculations as to the circumstances
which have led to man becoming
denuded of his hairy covering, the
hairs, however, being not only de-
generated organs, but having also
to fulfill some functions. There is
a group, says the professor, such as
the eyelashes and the eyebrows, for
instance, which are sensorial or
gans, possessing tactile functions,
and, moreover, serve as protection
to the eyes, and in places where two
integumentary surfaces arc in con
tact they act as rollers and facilitate
the gliding of the integumentary
surfaces on each other. Further
there is no doubt that the hair o.
the scalp protects the head agains
external cold and also prevents tn,
loss of heat through the very low
conductivity of the hair cylinder
and of the cushion of air intermin
! gled with them.
