Underground Labor in England.

The last half of the 10Th century
should form red-letter period in the
memory of the British coal miner. Not
only has it brought him to such finan-
cial prosperity that he can afford to
take holiday" for nearly half his
working time. but the improvements
effected below ground have greatly
diminished the former risk to health
and life. At meeting of the Midland
Institute of the Mining Engineers, the
president showed from trustworthy
statistics that the number of fatal
les consequent on colliery explosions
amounts to only percent Of the
average between 1851 and 1855. There
is consequently a saving of 81 percent
in human life through the lessened
frequency of explosions. 1t is much
the same with all other underground
accidents; in every instance. they are
far fewer and less destructive than
they formerly were. Such as Dc occur,
too, are largely the result Of the
mems own recklessness; they persis-
tently break rules expressly intended
to save them from harm. The chief
cause of accidents at present is the
falling of roofs and sides, entirely ow.
ing to their not being properly tim
bered. But no amount of reasoning
will convince the average pitman that
he owes 1t to himself and his family
to see that the requisite support is af-
forded. Pit-owners are always most
anxious to have this done, but defects
are rarely brought to their knowledge
until too late for remedy. In the mat
ter of ventilation. so great Is the i'm
provement that. apart from accidents,
underground labor has become as
healthy as oYerground.-London

A Remarkable Sight.

One of the most remarkable sights
ever witnessed by man was that de-
scribed by Captain Pendleton, a Brit
ish Whaler. He was following his
profession around Deception Island in
the Antartic waters when he sighted
an iceberg that had just fallen from
an ice cliff 500 feet high. The berg
appeared to be about 100 feet
deep and two.thirds of mile in
length. The captain, wishing to OBJ
serve the cliff OF face of the ice from
which this berg had dropped. sailed
near it and saw high above the top
masts, at least 2S0 feet above the
level of the sea, the body of a large
whale perfect, save for the head,
which had broken off and gone with
the berg. A portion of this whale was
secured by the whaler, who took eight
or 10 barrels of oil from it, while the
rest afforded food for the sea birds.
This whale was embedded nearly in
the centre of the cliff. 500 feet from
the top, and the question is how did
the whale get there and how long had
it been there? 1t was a sulphur bot
tom and was between 60 and 70 feet in
length.

Rlua Hundred Kinds Of Trees.

With the light thrown on Philippine
affairs by the American occupation
comes a greater knowledge than was
heretofore possessed Of the many vaiu-
able products native to the soil. Under
old laws forestry was almost unknown,
and the most valuable rubber, gutta-
percha and ylang-ylang tree were al
lowed to be cut down at will, says the
Philadelphia North American. These
old regulations are now changed, and
licenses must now be taken out. For
estry Director Ahern estimates the
total number Of tree species In the

mass. The forest lands Of the Philip

to 100000 acres-one-half Of the

Equine Rival of Bird Dog.

Mr.. Ed. Geoghegan of West Point
has the most remarkable horse in Ken
lucky, if not in the United States. This
horse has as keen scent for part
ridges as any setter or pointer in the
country. He can scent them from Is
to 100 feet and never makes mistake.
He pays no attention to rabbits or to
any bird but the partridge. When he
gets in the vicinity of covey of birds
mis- nostrils dilate. He throws UP his
head and shows all the symptoms that
& bird dog gives except his tail, which
aever stands out, but merely switches,

1t turned out that none of the boys

be obtained through any other chan
mel. Then, again, the people who live
here are continually moving and may
have changed their address two OF

Eirst and fnramnst PEST.

First and foremost, REST.
Take care of yourself. Your al.
ready weakened nerves want rest,
and must have it. If the attack is, Sc
we're, go to bed and remain there.
More fatalities result from neglect of
this precaution than from any other
cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive or
gans are in no condition to take care
of large quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure, cold water. It
allays the fever, stimulates the kid.
neys to. action and opens up the pores
of the skin. Keep the bowels open

Take three doses of DR.. Miles Ner-
vine per day, and if you cannot sleep
take an extra dose at bed time. To
further control the fever, and to over
come the peculiar aches and pains of

act quickly and effectually, and no
bad effects result from their use.
These remedies have been thoroly
tested more than million times, and
their efficiency is thoroly established.
They never fail to give relief.

Des Moines, March 1.-The board
Of control received "a communication
from Warden Hunter of the state peni-
Tertiary at Ft. Madison this morning
stating that all ofSthe prisoners, at the
penitentiary had been. exposed. to
smallpox thru r.. W. Smith, alias
Doe Smith, who was in the Polk
county Jail when smallpox broke out
there last week and was taken from
there to the penitentiary. Smith was
taken from the penitentiary to Council
Bluffs to appear as witness in case
pending before the federal court and
on the return ,he3was kept over night
in the Polk county Jail. He, was. here
exposed to the smallpox and in turn
has virtually exposed all of the prison,
ers at Ft.. Madison. Ssa.eF
+ Warden Jones writes the board that
as soon as the situation was under.
stood a strict qttafantine was estab-
lished and Smith cut off from all com.
munication withso other sprisoners. Ser
ious fears are entertained for the out
come, however. as the exposure has
been general. The results of an epi-
'demic of smallpox at the penitentiary
would be even worse chan at many
other of the state institutions and the
board has written Warden Hunter to
leave no stone unturned to prevent the
spread of the disease. AS yet Smith
has not shown any alarming symp.
toms. Previous to the exposure a
number of the prisoners had been vac
cinated.
