Critics of missions, who delight in
saying that ''it takes dollar to carry
cent to the beneflciaries Of these
organizations, are conclusively refuted
by facts given in connection with the
missions Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. During the church year
1878 this body expended in the for
eign and domestic mission fields about
twelve hundred thousand dollars. The
Salaries of missionary bishops, secre-
taries, and so FORTH" together with the
office and incidental expenses" took
just six and a half cents out Of each
dollar given to be expended in mission
work. The children of this world"
may be wiser in their generation than
the children Of light" at least the
critics think so; but the fact remains
that a business corporation which
could keep its cost of administration"
within seven per cent of its total ex-
penditure would feel that it exhibited
very commendable worldly" skill.

To Prevent Mine Accidents.

Among the bills that have become
laws since the adjournment of the
Twelfth General Assembly Is one Of
great Importance to the mining inter-
ests of the state. Under the title, IAN
act to amend an act entitled An act
to create state bureau of mines and
to define the duties of the commission
er of mines,'" Representative Ryan
introduced and secured the passage OF
bill that not only does as the title
implies, but also goes into the subject
of mining in the stnte filing new reg
ulations of II very comprehensive char
acter for the SOv' nment Of the indus
try. Most of these We're framed with
view to better protect the lives OF
men employed in and about the mines
of the state.
After briefly touching upon the du-
ties OF the commissioner and his depu-
ties the bill goes into the question of
the storage and use of explosives re-
quiring all powder to M' kept In u mag
azine prepared for that purpose exclu-
sively at safe distance from any
mine. Only sufficient quantity to per-
form the work of one shift Is to be
taken from the magazine nt one time.
Oils and other combustible substances
must be stored separately, and mine
devices for the warming or thawing
OF giant powder.
The commissioner Of mines Is au-
thorized to regulate ard limit the
amount of nitro-powde, rept or stored

camps where there Is no municipal
law governing the same.
Miners are prohibited the use Of met

soon as practicable and shall not be
permitted to decay underground.

elusive labor of loading and unload

tablish n code of signals for the hoist
Ing and lowering OF cages, the same to
be adopted by all mines making use OF

Provision Is made for the protection

Gentlemen who believe in correcting

naturally find much encouragement
and satisfaction in the decision OF
Judge Peabody Of st. Louis, who holds
husband is justified in chastising his
wife in moderation. The trouble is
that wives have lately developed an in
clination to do the chastising them
selves. Two recent instances In the
daily papers illustrate this tendency.
One was that Of Mrs. Albina Chemlik
of Chicago, who, upon being reproved
by her husband, broke stove leg
over his head The other concerns
Mrs. Sarah Adams OF Camden. N. j..
who found her husband In q saloon
when he should have been at home
and proceeded to spank him coram
publico. 1t is obvious that Judge
Peabody's ruling will afford little
comfort to Messrs. Chemlik and
Adams, nor will 1t aid husbands whose
wives are expert in the handing OF
rolling pins and teakettles as weapons
of offense and defense. Judge Pea
body may decree that the wife should
submit to chastisement, but II the lady
