A CHRISTMAS GREETING.

For the joyous bright dawning
OF the Christmas day morning.
Our anxious hearts are aglow
When the sumptuous feast
OF the star in the east
Our tables with blessings o erfow.
With eyes heavenward turned
And conscience well burned
BY taking retrospective views
We hail with much glory
That beautiful story
OF the newborn King of the Jews.
Born in days of IIerod, king.
Frank incense and myrrh we bring,
And at Thy feet fall down.
AS was done in Bethlehem
BY wise men at Jerusalem.
..And wore the thorny crown"
Fulfilled the words of Jeremy:
Who did Thy coming prophesy,
In Rama there was weeping.
The year 1000 nine and three
Permit all living now to see,
Accept our Christmas greeting.
We soon must take parting view
Of nineteen hundred years ard two,
Since the babe in the manger lay
And shortly after bled and died
Under Pontius PLATE crucifled
And buried the same day
So Thy mission Thou didst fill
And pleading for Thy people still
We celebrate Thy birth
! Let friend commune as friend with frien'
| And peace and good will to all men
Be found through all the earth.
| Of all our sins let us repent
| And no more break Thy commandment,
| But watch and work and pray.
! And from Thy presence not be driven,
| When all they precious gifts are given s
| Give us this Christmas day,

COAL MINING ACCIDENTS.

In his report on the production of
coal in 1901, now in press in Mineral
Resources of the United States, 1901,
United States Geological Survey, Mr.
Il. w. Parker presents the statistics of
fatal and non fatal accidents which
occurred in the process of mining coal
in eighteen states and territories dur
ing 1901.
In these eighteen states and terri
tories the total number of lives lost
In 1901 was 467, and the total num-
Der of men injured was S,643 The
number of tons of coal mined for each
life lost varied from 426, 094 in Mary
land to 30, 424 in Indian Territory
The average number of tons mined
for each of the | .467 lives lost in these
eighteen states and territories was
1888, ,66S. 1t is interesting to note that
in Pennsylvania the number of tons
of bituminous coal mined per life lost
was little more than double the
amount mined per life lost in the an
thracite mines in the same state.
Maryland enjoys the distinction of the
largest tonnage per life lost while
the Indian Territory has the largest
percentage of deaths for the tonnage
mined.
The total number of men employ
ed in the coal mines of the United
States in 1901 was 1856. 544, who made
an average of 26l working days, as
compared with 44S. 5sl men. with an
average of 2l2 working days, in 1900.
The distribution of this labor in 1901
was as follows: In the anthracite
mines, l45, 309 men, with an average
working time of 1876 days; in the bi-
luminous mines, 304, 235 men, with
an average working time of 235 days
