Modern Stopping Methods.

The method adopted by the
management of DeLamar's
big mine at Mercur, Utah,
as the most economical as well
as the most expeditions for the
extraction of the ores, is one
that has long been in use in
the iron regions of the north,
and that it will be ultimately
introduced in all the large
properties is assured. Among
the miners it is known as the
"cave-in" system. In the first
place, drift is run under the
ore bodies and upon the foot
wall, with barely enough tim
bers to protect the miner.
Then the ore is divided into
blocks, each alternate block
being allowed to stand as a
pillar with which to support
the hanging-wall. The re-
naming blocks are then mined
out, after which the breaking
down Of the pillars is begun.
To accomplish this another
drift is run along the hanging.
wall, from which the pillars
are cut loose and taken out,
the ores always gravitating
toward the outlet and along
the level that is being worked.
In this way practically all the
ore is drawn off and the walls
allowed to gradually collapse
without disturbing the surface
improvements. The great adj
vantage of this system is the
cheapness with which the ores
are extracted, together with
the very small percentage of
casualties. For example, in
the iron regions ore is mined
for
FORTY CENTS A TON
by this method, and there is
really no necessity for any
ones coming in contact with
harm. In the story of the
great Norris mine at Iron
wood, Mich, where as much
as a million tons of ore have
been mined in the course of a
year, it is shown that in the
seasons work not a single ia.
tally occurred under ground.

TABLE MANNERS.
Wnii of the Man who Carves Tor a
LnrRe Fnmlly.

Wall of the Man Who Cnrves Tor a
Large Family.
A veteran" writes TO complain of
table manners in these latter days, in
cidentally protesting against the hard
lot Of the father who has TO carve for
a large family.
SIN the old way we are taught to
wait until the carving and helping was
done before beginning to dispose of
the food, out of respect to the carver,
and so that he might have a chance
TO get something to eat and not come
out behind all others at the table, but
modern table manners seem to have
changed all that, and IL the carver gets
anything to eat he is lucky. Modern
table manners also do not appear to
regard 1t any way inappropriate to have
a newspaper at hand TO occupy the time
at table. The old way was TO occupy
the time In lively conversation and
reading a paper or book was disrespect-
full. In modern table manners there
seems no inclvility In lighting u cigar
ette at the table or in adjourning to the
hall 10 smoke one while the table Is
being cleared for dessert. There are
many other innovations IN modern table
manners which might be noted, but I
think many of the old ways best"
The Listenere gives the old grumbler
cold comfort. 1T is a queer father Of
q family who expects to carve and get
anything TO eat. The size of the roast
may be simply prodigious, but, even il
the young people at the table who we're
lrst served do not come around for a
second helping by the time the last
person is served the first time the roast
will probably by that time have gone
into the shapeless and refractory con-
dition peculiar to roasts, and will in
cline. the carver to content himself with
a little bread and gravy-or at least
to take the edges off the pangs Of
hunger with something of that sort,
while he is orgRnizinga second assault
on the roast for the benefit of the
others. ."-Boston Transcript.

now to handle The Family wash

HOW 10 AhG
The laundry work, one of the most
important Of our domestic tasks, is, as
rule. left entirely TO the management
of unframed household servants. And
being unframed, they naturally select
the most difficult way Of doing what,
under proper conditions, shouldbe easy
work. The person responsible for the
family wash should really understand a
certain amount Of chemistry, in order
to preserve the coloring in different
fabrics, and to understand how to re-
move stains and various spots. To
prevent the hannels from shrinkage
she should know the condition and
character of the fiber OF wool, and the
difference between that and the fiber
of cotton. If the coloring matter in
colored garment is acid an alkaline
soap will dissolve or neutralize it, and
the garment will come from the wash
entirely faded. The average housewife
returns to the laundry all articles i'm
properly laundered. but she fails to
pin to each article little suggestion of
how they may be made better, with the
result that the articles are returned
again the next week in exactly the
same unsatisfactory ycondition.-Ladies

GREAT REVIVAL At MILFORD

Special Correspondence Evening Journal
Milford, Jan. 27.-An unusual amount
of interest is being shown in the re-
vival services now being held in the
Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
under the pastor, Rev. George w.
King. The services have been held
every night except Saturday since jan
uary 2. The lecture-room in which the
revivals are being held will not ac-
commodate the large attendance. The
aisle across the back of the church is
crowded nightly with men standing, he-
ing compelled to do so as seats cannot
be secured. On several occasions peO-
pie we're not able to get beyond the
vestibule of the church. Although only
about thirty penitents have been con-
verted, such interest has never been
shown at revivals here before. Young
men who were in the habit of sitting
around the reading rooms of the hotels
and standing on the streets, are now
found almost every night attending the
revival services.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the "conundrum tea" to be
given by the young women of Millard
HydOrus' Sunday school class of the
Avenue school next Friday night in
Fireman's Hall. The young women are
determined that this unique affair shall
surpass any ever given in this town.
The proceeds are for the benefit of the

Seaford, Jan. 27.-Revival services
are being held in the new M. E. Church,
conducted by the pastor in charge,
Rev. r.. X. Stevenson. The people are
taking a deep interest in the meetings,
often as many as six and seven hum
dred people being in attendance. There
have been four conversions.
The oyster business Of this season
has been the best within the past five
years, and the town, as a result, has
been greatly benefited, the money paid
for opening readily passing into cir
culation.
There is an effort being made to or
ganize a board of trade in Seaford. AS
the town has excellent natural advan-
tages, low taxes, cheap labor, and be-
ing situated in an exceptionally health
full locality, il would greatly aid the
place by making known it's advantages
to enterprisng capitalists.
Two representatives OF Philadelphia
capitalists were in town last week
considering the erection Of an electric

duets. One of the features of the enter
tainments was an Epiphany cake,

Cream, ices, cake, chicken salad and
