effort. Electricity within the past
twenty years has entered most
largely upon it's practical work. 1t
heats, it lights, it drives. 1t has
been taught to carry the human
voice and to convey messages in
simultaneously over thousands of
miles. The subtle, imponderable
but potent force is transmissible
through long distances, thus making
waterfalls hitherto useless, because
inaccessible, available by being con-
verted into electrical force for driv-
ing machinery, for lighting our
houses, for cooking our food and for
propelling cars. Where shall all
this development end? Who can
mark it's limits? Who can grasp
the infinity of human endeavor
where every natural advantage pre-
sents itself, where mind and muscle,
matter and natural forces coalesce
and cooperate in the achievement
of great endsp Who can stay this
progression in the march of destiny {?
What was seemingly impossible in
one decade becomes possible in the
next.
No other people in the world were
ever provided with such facilities for
the acquisition of knowledge. BY
the establishment of rural routes the
citizen living in the country can now
read his daily newspaper. BY the
use of the telephone he is put in
touch with all the world. Country
life now has no terrors for the edu-
Gated. BY the use of the appliances
named the farmers home is made
happier and better. Without leav-
ing it he can sell his crops, order his
supplies, save weary travel and loss
of time.
And yet with all these conven-
fences and comforts and unexampled
prosperous conditions there are
oroakers in the land uttering predic-
tions of dire calamity. No one can
deny the great prosperity which the
country is enjoying. When, if ever,
were 80 many people employed at
good prices and 80 many able to buy
the comforts and necessities of life ?
When, if ever, were so many immi-
grants coming to this country to sup
ply the demand for labor? When,
if ever, have the farmers of the
country had $50 much to sell and at
such good prices? When, if ever,
were the profits from the making of
iron and steel-those two great
barometers of trade and the meters
of prosperity-so satisfactory and so
long-continued? When, if ever,
have the manufacturers of the
country been go busy in filling
orders2 When, if ever, have the
railroads had so much to haul and at
such remunerative rates? When, if
ever, have our exports been so large
as during the past three years
These things are the very stamp
marks of prosperity. Financial
bogies in the shape of trusts, tariffs,
wild specuations, continuity of
strikes, are called up from the vast
deep of pessimism by the timid and
the skeptical, but the men who are
making this country, who are devel-
oping its resources and creating it's
wealth, are neither timid nor ekep-
tical. They know that every prob
lem can be met and solved. AS it is,
we may well sing the song of the
coming triumph jn commercial as

supremacy in all those material re-
sources and elements of manhood

ing from twelve to fifteen tons OF
coal. The laborer's work is often
made difficult by the water and rock
which are found in large quantities
in coal veins.
There are $4,000 laborers in the
anthracite mines of Pennsylvania,
each one of whom is looking forward
to becoming miner in the technical
sense of the word--that is, the en-
ployer of a laborer. To do this a
laborer must have had two years.
experience in practical mining and
be able to pass an examination be-
fore the district board. If he passes
he becomes a contractor as well as a
laborer. He enters into contract
with the company to do a certain
work at 30 much per car or yard.
He blasts all the coal, and this in
wolves Judgment in locating the hole,
skill in boring it, and care in pre-
pairing and determining the size of
the shot. The number of blasts per
day ranges from four to twelve,
according to the size and character
of the vein. He is responsible for
the propping necessary TO sustain the
roof. According to the law of the
State of Pennsylvania, the company
operating the mine is oil iged to fur
nish the miner the needed props, but
the miner must place them at such
places as the mine boss designates.
Most OF the boring is done with
hand machines. The miner furnishes
his own tools and supplies. His
powder, squibs, paper, soap and oil
he is compelled to buy from the
company which employs him. His
equipment includes the following
tools: A hand machine for drilling,
drill, scraper needle, blasting bar
rel, crowbar, pick, shovel, hammer,
sledge, cartridge pin, oil can, tool
box and lamp. As a rule he rises at
8 a. M; he enters the mine shortly
after 6. In some cases he is Obliged
to walk mile or more underground
to reach his place of work. He
spends from eight to ten hours in
the mine. Taking 800 days as the
possible working time in year, the
anthracite miners daily pay for the
past 70 years will not average over
$1.6O day, and that of the laborer
not over $1.35.
His dangers are many. He may
be crushed to death at any time by
the falling roof, burned to death by
the exploding of gas, or blown to
pieces by premature blast. So
dangerous is his work that he is de-
barred from all ordinary life insur-
ance. In no part of the country
will you find 80 many crippled boys
and broken-down men. During the
last thirty years over 10000 men and
boys have been killed and $4,000
have been injured in this industry.
Not many old men are found in the
mines. The average age of those
killed is 32.13.
II is an endless routine of dull
plodding work from 8 years until
death-a sort of voluntary life i'm
prisonment. Few escape. Once
they begin, they continue to live out
their commonplace, low-leveled ex-
istence, knowing nothing better

The lizard crawled off and was captured

the man would be only too glad to be

ALWAYS BE REGULAR.
A Point In Hog Feeding whose Inn
portnnce IL Not as Well Under
stood ns IL should lie.

To be most successful at raising
hogs we should feed regularly, not one
day early in the morning and the next
day in the middle of the forenoon. No
matter how many times day nor what
we feed, letit be at the same hours every
day Ii is natural for a hog to rest at
night time, and digestion and assimila-
tion OF food will go on better if they
are fed regularly and before dark.
There are great many farmers
who think "a hog is "a hog" and of little
consequence as far as profit is con
cerned, hence they let him root hog
or die, and il he does not do as well
rs they expect, or as well as the hogs
OF their neighbors, they blame the
breed or the one who sold them the
pigs, never taking into consideration
that, IL they had given the hog a show,
fed him with some regularity and on
such food as would have kept his sys-
tenn in good condition, he would have
been profitable animal. As hog
grows older and heavier, il requires
not only more food to make pound
OF gain, but more TO sustain the weight
that it already has. So, if not gaining,
you would better get them off your
hands ms soon as possible.
In feeding hogs the important point
is to give just enough and no more.
This sometimes may be a little difficult
TO do. What is eaten up clean. with
indication that, If more were given. it
would be eaten, is the test of what is
iust the right quantity. A little care
full observation will soon make the
test easily understood. Midland

CLOVER is VALUABLE.

Land Feeders.

One of the grasses that will prove

err who can grow IL is clover. 1t Is not
only an excellent food for swine for
both health and growth, but il is o
land feeder or fertilizer, says a writer
in American Swineherd. But few farm
ers understand the advantages that
come from growing clover outside OF
its feeding value. The productiyeness
Of the farm can be maintained or inn
proved by the growing Of clover.
Every farmer should exert himself TO
provide fields Of clover II is not only
good hog feed, but it is equally as
good for sheep and cattle, and the very
best hay for young calves. A good
many farmers have used clover hay
for feeding hogs in winter season, run
ming IL through a cutter and mixing IL
into n thick slop as balancer Of the
ration and distender of the stomach,
preventing compacting of the concen-
trated feeds. The advantages of clover
as food are that they give the pigs
that Succulence that is SO desirable 10
provide the smooth coats and rapid
growth that come from feeding il. 1t
is balancer of the ration of grain,
which cheapens the feed and lessons

only good for the feed value, but be-
cause of the advantages in combining
1t with n grain ration which enables

THE LADY AND THE TIGER.
Very Largest Animal Of the Kind
Ever killed In India, Shotby
American Woman.

A slender young American woman
had the recent distinction Of shoot
ing the largest tiger ever killed in
India, and is entitled TO the bounty
offered by the British government.
The heroine OF this exploit is Mrs.
Donnett, wife of an English army
officer on service in India, daughter
of John II. Whitehouse. of Irvington
on-the-Iudson, says the ST. Paul
Pioneer-Press. Mrs. Donnett has
been spending December and Jan
nary with her husband and a party
Of friends hunting big game in the
Chanda Jungle of Northern India, in
the midst OF $4,000 square miles OF
forest reserves Astounding in all
kinds Of savage beasts and other big
game. She has killed two tigers, four
panthers, four bears, eight boars and
several other wild beasts. while the
rest of the party killed nine other IL
gers and corresponding number on
less dangerous animals. Mrs. Don
nett's second tiger measured 10 feet
inches in length and is the largest
ever Killed I'm India. Her first tiger
measuded feet 4 inches. In n
letter dated January IL last, this ex-
traordinary young woman describes
the eScnt and her sensations IA a
simpi, but graphic manner.
"a am the proud slayer OF the
largest tiger ever shot in India" she
excnims with giriish enthusiasm,
