The explosion occurred just before
the day force of 100 men went off
daty and was caused by too much gov
der in a blast. the conclusion causing
coal dust, which thickly oYerhung the
mine, TO explode with great force.
Some idea of the force of the explo-
sion can be learned from the fact that
all those killed and injured were
about 1000 feet from the place where
the shot was being fired. Isaacs was
hurled against the entry wall with
such force that his head was smashed
beyond recognition.

are poor; whereas, il we dine at a res
laurant everything, down to the salad, is
different, and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces.
Then, again, the music and stir going on
around one avoid the necessity for much
conversation, and conversation in the
home circle is sometimes difficult and
sometimes dull 1t does not do always just
to say what one thinks. it is such bad
practice for dining out, and. this being the
case, it is not easy sometimes to think
what to say.
Nowadays we get socially speaking,
tired of our friends and even of our ac-
quaintances. We want them to pass con
tinually before us like a street procession.
Instead of that they rather resemble a
stage crowd and keep coming up again.
There is limit to those we know, limit
even to those we should like or should be
likely to know even by sight, and at res
taurant this latter limit is disregarded.
The barrier of good manners which for
bids that those who are acquainted with
one another should speak is sufficient to
protect our station or our dignity, but it
is not very high fence, and it is one
which is amusing to look over.-London
Spectator.

SHAKING HANDS
With a Boer Will Make Him an Ever

The laugh has long enjoyed the place
of honor as a confession of character
But a better index than the laugh in
the opinion OF Thaddeus S. Graham of
Worcester, is the handshake. THE
handshake, in the first place. he said

modern custom-at least as far as
ever found out. In the biblical davs
and in the Eomeric days men used to
step up and fondly embrace one anoth-
er, and this YOU can find today on the
continent of Europe But now every
nation shakes hands more or less, and
no two alike. Here in America the typf-
cal shake lasts 80 or go or 90 seconds
In the Orient there is no geniality about
it, but deep, reverential ceremony, and
often it is merely symbolic. with no
clasping of the other fellows hand at

idea of retaining his good graces, is to

a possible host at a farm by a show
of honest heartiness 1t is dollars to

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME
The Spirit of Restlessness and the De-
sire for Change.

Judging by a good deal of the CONVERSE
ton of the present day, there are a large
number of people who have positive hor-
TOR of home. This curious revuIsion OF
feeling is taken by many persons as a sign
of deterioration. For our own part we find
it difficult to take it quite seriously or to
see in it anything more than a passing
within.
Nobody nowadays likes monotouy.
Change is what people desire-not perhaps
any great change: but lots of small
change; not necessarily for the better. but
for its own sake. Now, there is a great
sameness about ona's four walls be they
ever so handsome. We all feel at times an
overpowering desire 70 look at something
else. We cannot change the patterns Of
the pictures on them every day and
neither they nor the home furniture ever
seems to alter in expression.
