Aged 20 Year. in a Night in a Hole

While going to her home in Gran
berry, one mile east of Hazleton, Pa,
one night recently, Mrs. Ernest Ylrich,
aged 80 years, fell into a mine hole.
When rescued the next morning the
woman had aged apparently 20 years.
Alike experience for eitherman Or wom-
an was never recorded in mining his
tory, and that she is not a raving mani
&c is due to her fortitude and extraor-
binary belief in prayer. She was saved
from instant death by falling into a
lake OF muck, which had formed at the
bottom Of the hole. This substance.
closed about her, gradually swallowing
her, until it reached to her shoulders.
It was nine o'clock when the accident
happened, and the first human being
she saw was at six o'clock in the morn
ing, wlsen miner going to work heard
her moan. It required two hours to
reach her. She retained consciousness
throughout the ordeal, but tainted as
soon as raised to the surface. The
woman practically occupied living
.omb during the time she was pris-
,ner. The hole into which she fell is
20 feet deep and a mile in length. and
stones throw from the viuage.-St.

THE WORLDS RICHEST MINE.
It Has Produced Gold Worth $3.50, OOO,-
900 i'm Thirty Years.

The richest gold mine in the world
is located under the thriving town Of
Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The town
has about $4,000 inhabitants, nearly all
pr whom are employed in the mine.
There are more than 100 miles Of tun-
rels under the city, some of them be-
ing at a depth of 2,000 feet. The en-
trance to the mine, which is controlled
by corporation and is known as the
Band, Barton and Albion Councils, is
outside the city
The region around Ballarat has been
jug over several times by miners. It
was formerly covered by dense for
est, but the trees have been chopped
down, and the mark of the miners shov-
el and pick is visible on all sides. Not
one Of these workers struck pay dirt,
and the work was all done in vain.
The rock in which the gold is found
beneath Bauarat is not rich in the yell
low metal. It yields but half an ounce
Of standard gold to the ton, and Yet the
Band, Barton and Albion mine has
yielded more than S150,O00,0OO of gold
since it was opened, 80 years ago. The
N'o1A - OouC oo parliamentary d1l0 s'O
thoroughly that it is enormously prof
liable in spite of the low grade of the
ore. The supply of paying quartz
seems practically inexhaustible, and
ps the vein is extensive, being spread
over much territory, the mine bids fair
TO last for centuries.
All Of the paying veins in Australia
run north and south, and have a dip
gf rs degrees east and west. In work
ing the mines q shaft is sunk until the
vein is truck. Then the miners work
upward, allowing the ore to fall back
ward and downward to the shaft,
through which it is raised to the sur
face, where it is milled,
The workmen in the Band, Barton
and Albion are much more comforta-
BILE than the workers in coal mine
There are no noxious gases and no
danger from explosions. Pure air is
forced In through various shafts, and
thus into the drivers. The tunnels are
drilled far apart, so that there will be
no danger of the city above, where all

While twilight fingers in the lane and YES

And faint and far a sweet refrain the hap
py whippoorwills are singing;
When tiretiies dot the fragrant dell and
doves their fond good nights are COO

Oh. then there comes the blissful spell the

Upon the roses lips OF love the cooling

AS from the coverts of the groves the

And once again hear a voice and feel the

And once again our hearts rejoice, while in

Who will love me wherever | roam.
And will trust me whatever befall.
Other lips to my own l may press,
And to me other loved ones may come
Who will greet me with tender caress.
But who like the dear ones at home?

The burrows are growing so deep:
Here Is love TO the ones with them now,

Still I'll keep them all here in my heart
Here's song to the dear ones al home.

P,ersures OF the Imagination.

He felt his breast expand.
He walked as II on air;
His heart, erst sad. grew light again.
For happiness was there:
The world, that lately seemed so drear.
Had frightened and was full OF cheer.
For people gazed at him
And turned when he had passed.

In awe" he thought, Eat last!''
Poor fool! He then went home to find
Tint his necktie had worked UP behind!

VERSE OF THE DAY.
Victoria the Good.


The dew was on the summer lawn.
The roses bloomed. the woods were green.
When forth there came, as fresh as dawn,
A maiden with majestic mien.
They g.rt a crown about her brow.
They placed a scepter in her hand
And loud rang out nations vow:
God guard the lady OF the land!'
And now the cuckoo calls once more.
And once again June's roses blow
And round her throne her people pour.
Recalling 60 years ago:
And all the goodly days between.
Glory and sorrow. love and pain.
The wifely mother. widowed queen,
The loftest as the longest reign.
She shared her subjects bane and bliss,
Welcomed the wise, the base withstood.
And taught by her clear life ii is
The greatest greatness to be good.
Yet while for peace she wrought and
prayed.
She bore the trident. wore the helm.
And, mistress of the main. she made
An empire of her island realm.
So gathering now. from near, from far.
From rule whereon ne'er sets the day.
From southern cross and northern star.
Her people lift their hearts and pray;
Longer and longer may she reign,
And, through summer night serene
Whence day doth never wholly wane,
God spare and bless our empress queen!
