Another Mine Horror.

A terrible gas explosion in the Viz

$50 men were entombed and all are be-

Steel Il Wire CO., and are leased by Reid

are employed, and only recently Union
miners went 10 work. The mines arr

most narrowing that ever have been WI

The corpses were frightfully manR lei

are so bruised, twisted and discolored
that negroes cannot be told from white

mine were wailing and moaning wome

and three hundred children are left des-

in the sides for ventilation are pro-
tected by wire screens to keep out

One interesting feature is the names

The foregoing is largely in general
terms. The reader wants an answer
to the main question: ITO what ex-
tent are persons affected with tubercu-
losis cured or benefited at the farm"
careful record has been kept for
the past two years. It shows that
from May 21st, 1903, to April both,
1905, there were 165 persons admitted
as residents at the farm, of whom 35
were still present on the farm at the
time of the report, leaving 100 to be
accounted for.

eight left to reside with friends; eight

farm 65 were improved.

For the information of those who
may desire to assist in furthering the
work. it may be stated that the most
pressing needs of the farm at the
present time are heating plant and
a hospital or infirmary.
Those who wish information in re-
gard to entering the farm as residents
or assisting the work by donations,
should address W. M. Banner. general

Said a fashionable dressmaker: TT
does not matter SO much what your
gown is, providing it is very short in
the skirt. For the elegance of your
costume you depend upon your smart
hat: upon your pretty shoes and
spats; upon your stockings; upon your
gloves, which match your shoetops,
and upon your hat. which matches all
of these things. Your dress may be
a dull brown mohair or the plainest
of black taffetas. yet you will look ele-
giant. 1t is all on account of your
small belongings
There is a woman's tailor in London
who is selling beautiful sets for recep-
ton wear. In a set" he counts the
hat, the shoes, the hose, the gloves
and the umbrella.

opinion as to the value of Grape Nuts

Lord Thurlow, one of the ablest of
English lord chancellors, was most
uncomfortable man to be associated
with. He never learned self-controI.
and his explosions of temper on the
slightest provocation were appalling.
On one occasion, however, one of
mis- lordship's confreres, greatly dar-
ing, expressed an opinion of Thurlow' s
temper without violating courtesy,
and with wit worthy of Talleyrand.
Lord Thurlow came late to an impor-
tant cabinet meeting, and apologized
for his hardness by saying that he
had fracas with a cabman and lost
his temper.
The colleague answered, quietly:
Lost your temper, my lord? con-
graduate you heartily. l hope you
may never find it, for it was the most
villainous temper that l ever knew"

I DENVER Y.M.C.A A. HEALTH FARM 8

Practical Results Have Repaid Gen. =

One of the most interesting and
hopeful signs of the times is the
work that is being done with a view
TO the prevention and care of con
sumption. Experiments in this direc-
ton in many parts of the world are
meeting with no small degree of sue
cess and their common foundation lies
principally i'm outdoor life, pure air
and a plain diet. The open air cure
comes the nearest of anything yet in
vented to being a panacle for tubercu-
lar diseases.
The Association Health Farm, Or
ganiZed by the Y. M. c. A. of Denver,
has now been in operation for more
than two years and has, so far, fully
promoters.
When j first heard of the Association

that arose in my mind was that of a

Real Mint Sauce.

Mint sauce is usually delusion and

egar and few fragments Of tasteless
mint leaves. Real mint sauce is an
other thing. Here is recipe vouched
for by an experienced cook: Let the
water from the cold water tap run
over a bunch Of mint until 1t is per-
fectly clean of dust, strip the leaves
from the stalks, tear them in small
pieces. and put in bowl. Pour boil.

ty-fve miles to the south, to beyond

plain sight on the mountain crests

August. which. after all are never op-
pressivel; hot at the farm.
The farm comprises thirty-four
acres of land. worth at the market
price. upwards of five hundred dol
lars an acre, about twenty-four acres
of which are covered with an orchard
of well-grown bearing fruit trees and
small fruits, the remaining ten acres
being devoted to gardening 1t is
visitor will testify. On the north side
is ,wind-break of tall thickly-set LON
hardy poplars and orchard and shade
trees break the force of the winds
from other directions. There is no
suggestion of barrenness to awaken
inconsistencies in the new conner.
To many, as to me. the small size
of the health farm is at first thought
disappointment. What is little
haven of thirty-four acres as conf
pared with the great ocean of disease
whose victims are spread abroad over
all the world? 1t is, indeed, but a
small beginning. But may we not
hope that it shall prove the leaven
that is to leaven the whole lump?
In another respect, | am sorry to
say, it must always break the word of
promise to the hope of many unfor-
Inmates. Not only is it too small to
accommodate all who may wish to
come, but it is impossible for it to
furnish work for those whom it does
take sufficient to wholly provide for
their support. OF course the ideal
health farm would be one where all
could come and make a living by
farming while getting well. But such
consummation can be only feebly
approximated through long years Of
experiments. The best that can be
done at present, is to help as many as
possible to re-establish their health in
such degree as will enable them to do
farm work, or other work, on their
own responsibility No general sys-
tenn Of paternalism has so far COM
