To make a carpet wear as long pos sible 1t is a good plan to rip 1t apart and rearrange its width so that when sewed together again the widths which have had most wear have changed places with those that have had least.

EIGHT MORE COFFlNS
RESCUE WORK STILL PROCEEDING
 AT VIRGINIA MINES.
Various Relief Committees Continue Their Work and More Than $S,O0O Has Been Distributed to the
 Sufferers.

Birmingham, Feb. 25.-(SpeciaL)- Kennedy Bros, the Bessemer underta- kers who had the contract to prepare the victims of the awful disaster at Virginia Mines for burial. today re- ceived a message ordering eight more coffins. On account of the high Wa ter in the mines 1t was necessary to stop the rescuing work yesterday until pumps could be repaired and the air course improved. The pipes were re- paired today and the water Is being drawn out rapidly. Announcement was made last evening that eight more men were known positively to be in the mines and in anticipation of get ting these out before early morning the coffins were ordered today. The order was countermanded and infor- nation sent the undertakers that the bodies would be carried to Bessemer just as quickly as they could be trans ported through the woods. the relief train having been cut off since yester- day morning.
 The various relief committees were out again today among the families of the victims of the explosion. More thai. $, 900 has been distributed, so far. the immediate distress being relieved |. The plan to get up a big fund for the who lost unclr II3eS In the mines Is meeting with considerable encourage ment. The colored ore miners at Sloss mines today gave their entire earnings to the fund for the Virginia Mine suf- ferers. something like S1.000 being added to the relief fund. Several coal mining camps during the coming week will make similar donation.
 Ed. Flynn, President of the United Mine Workers of America, in Alabama. and State Mine Inspector J. M. Gray. returned to Virginia Mines this after noon to assist in the work going on at that place. The inspector, with his two assistants, James Hillhouse and M. Kuffner, will make a full investi- gation into the cause of the disaster. President Flynn of the United Mine Workers, today stated that he would not express himself as to who was or was not responsible for the accident. He reiterates his opinion that the men In the mine not killed by the force of the explosion died twenty or thirty minutes after the explosion from black possible for a rescuing party to get the imprisoned men.
 A report from Ensley today was to the effect that the Alabama Steel and Wire Company intended making a do- nation of $2,500 to the relief fund. A private telegram from Cyrus Garnsey. Jr., of the Galloway Coal Company off, flee in Memphis, advised drawing on him for $200 to be used for the relief of the victims of the disaster. Many other telegrams and letters were re- ceived. all sending in money for the sufferers

Gone For King.


 Detective George Bodeker has gone to Knoxville. Tenn, to bring back a white man named W. c. King who is &C., cused of working a trick on H. c. Abbott and Bros, local jewellers, sev- eral days ago. The trick was as fol- lows: The stranger asked to c shown some diamond rings he desiring to present one to his best girl The best in stock was shown. While the sales man was not looking a ring costing about $50 was exchanged for one val ued at $450. The exchange Is made in order that a vacant slit in the dia- mond case should be noticed by the clerk. The discovery of the exchange is hadly made until after the stranger leaves. A similar trick was worked in Atlanta, so it is stated. What proof there is against King is not stated, though a picture of the man under arrest in Tennessee when shown to the jeweler who waited on the strang- CT was partially identified.

Take 1t in Installments.

William H. Crane, the actor. tells
of an amusing incident that occurred
in course Of performance by CON-
pany with which the comedian was
connected at one time. Crane had
been understanding for the leading
man, and it became his duty at
critical time to lift up the fainting
heroine and convey her to the wings.
At the time mentioned Mr.. Crane
was slight and anything but strong,
so that the task assigned was extreme
ly difficult, when it is considered that
the leading woman weighed nearly
two hundred pounds.
After sundry attempts to accomplish
the business" assigned him, with
little hope for its accomplishment, the
strain was broken by the hearty
laughter of the audience, for strong,
shrill voice from the gallery had
shouted:
For Heavens sake, man, take what
you can and come back for the rest.'

A NOBLE CAREER.
The Life of William III. Baldwin an
Inspiring and Hopeful Success.

The Life of William III. Baldwin an
Inspiring and Hopeful Success.
The noble career, untimely ended,
Of President William H. Baldwin, of
the Long Island Railroad, illustrates
the encouraging fact that good men,
also, we have always with us. At
time when certain men and certain
combinations of men in great bust
nesses are under public suspicion for
selfish and unsocial practices on a
large scale, here was a brilliant bust
ness man, at different times high in
and East, and holding responsible
place in large affairs Of finance, who
had the perfect confidence of his finan-
cial associates, of workingmen and Of
the general public. In addition to this
though this itself and alone would
be sufficient honor-he was endlessly,
wisely, intensely interested in some of
the most important enterprises of
good citizenship, local and national;
above all, in the cause of education in
the Southern States. His benevolence
had the stamp Of craftsmanship He
was truly a builder of the nation
Year by year his influence and his
good fame were increasing; only a lit
tie past forty, it seemed that the fu-
ture held for him twice the opportu-
mites Of his already benefcent and
exemplary career. Here were I'M
selfishness, modesty, devotion and men
tai and moral strength splendidly COM
bined.
His death, after a short life not
marked by dazzling gifts Of money,
but of human service, was followed
by an outburSt of praise and of affec-
tomato regret. What a contrast here
to the spectacles of men absorbed in
the prepOsterous fight for unearned
millions; men whose paths are strewn
with the wrecks of others fortunes;
whose examples are evil; who go down
to gilded tombs with the cold regard
or the bitter execration Of their fell
lows!-Century.

The severe usage to which 1t had
been put dulled the edge Of my axe
almost as blunt as the edge Of my
palm. 1t could not cut the rubber
wrapped wires on soft earth. Time
was pressing. We were in danger Of
being discovered before we could get
at the first line Of barbed- wire fence,
which was the last goal Of our efforts;
moreover, we were somewhat impa-
tient. So all Of us fell upon those
electric wires; and with our teeth we
bit them off. I fear we may have
been somewhat excited. We did some
damage to our teeth by this work.
When man tells you that he did not
know when his teeth were being brok-
en-, you would not believe him. That
man might be telling the truth, under
some circumstances, however.
He laughed a laugh innocent and
childlike, and in the laughter you
could see more than two broken teeth
in his mouth. Nothing else could
drive home the conviction quite so
powerfully as those broken teeth of
his.-Adachi Kinnosuke, in Success

atty. The athlete is bound to make
the best of himself physically and this
Of itself tends to morality. He is con-
stantly called upon to sacrifice immedi-
ate ease and pleasure for the sake Of
the more important end he wishes to
gain, and in doing this he acquires
self-control, temperance, patience and
other virtues which strengthen charac-
ter and make for Righteousness. Great
apprehension Is often expressed be-
cause the old discipline is on the wane;
atty after the old formal ways and be-
cause preaching is not as popular as ii
was once. Little credit, however, Is
given to the new modes of discipline
and to the truly democratic and indi-
vidualistic methods of to-day. Il shall

he knew positively that the temperate

perate, and that was sufficient for him
to exercise the denial required. DR.. J.
NJ. Anders of Philadelphia recently de-
clared that the morals Of college stu
dents have greatly improved during
the last two and a half decades, due
in no small part to the Young Mems
Christian Association and the athletics
practiced in connection with It,
Healthy exercise serves as an outlet
for the excess Of spirits that cannot
and ought not to be pent up, while On
the positive side there is the direction
of effort which implies will power and
self-command. Nervousness and lack
of self-direction have not usually been
counted immoral, but their effects are
such that they might we'll come in that
category, since they lead to all sorts Of
evils. The kind of athletics which
tends to check these deserves to be
counted among moral forces and
should receive every encouragement.
Athletics, like everything else, can be
carried to excess and boone an injury,
but under judicious management their
moral value is not a whit less signif-
cant than their physical worth. In
fact, the two cannot be separated.

AMERICANS OVER THE LINE.
Canadian View of Migration from This
Country to Northwest.

Country to Northwest.
The exodus from the State Of Min
nesota to the Canadian northwest has
become so great as to be disturbing
it not alarming, to the people who
remain behind. There Is no talk Of
running out" the Canadian immigra-
ton agency in Minneapolis, but there
has been asserted the necessity Of a
rival propaganda to keep the Mime
sotans at home. 1t Is proposed also
to drain 100000 acres Of swamp
lands and sell them on stringent con-
ditiOns to actual settlement. These
schemes, it is proclaimed, are but
beginning, for in some way "the tide
Of emigration that each year flows
with increased current over Canada's
border" must be turned back.
On all this alarm and activity Cana
dams can we'll afford to look with COM
pliasance. We have an immense I'M
developed area Of good farming land,
compared with which neither Mime
sofa nor Dakota has anything special
ly attractive to offer. A quarter of
a century ago they were receiving in
great numbers settlers from the older
parts Of Canada. Now their families
have grown up and are coming back
into the Canadian northwest. Efforts
to stay the progress of this move
ment may retard it to some extent,
but cannot bring it to an end.
The construction Of the National
Transcontinental railway will open
up new regions quite as attractive as
those already made accessible by ex-
listing railways. The great irrigation
projects Of the Canadian Pacific Com
pany will change the character Of a
large part Of the arid tract near the
American border. Away beyond the
farther district now devoted to wheat
culture lies the Peace river country
similar in character and equally avail
able for agriculture. The Canadian
northwest is sure to become a great
country, and Minnesotans, in spite Of
counter attractions, will continue
working to make it so.-TOronto Globe.

A Self Possessed Traveller.

The late Mrs. Isabella Bishop,
whose travels in different parts of the
world secured for her membership in
the Royal Geographical Society, Wis
tied America when she was a young
woman. She was unused to travel
and was alone when she had the fol-
lowing experience, which is told in
Blackwoods Magazine:
Once, in train going to New York,
she was dreadfully tired, and yet she
had feeling that if she went to sleep
the man sitting next tc her would pick
her pocket. She struggled for some
time against her inclination to sleep.
but having for a moment given way
she awakened to feel the hand of her
neighbor gently withdrawing her
purse from her pocket.
In her purse, besides some money
which was, comparatively speaking,
Of small moment, was her baggage
check. That was the only thing that
really mattered. If she accused her
neighbor of theft, nothing was simpler
for him than to drop the purse out
Of the open window beside which he
was sitting. No; she determined she
would leave any interference until
they arrived at their destination.
She secured the services Of a porter,
and, with apparent calmness, follow
ed her travelling companion down the
platform. Having described her lug
gage to the porter, she at the critical
moment bowed slightly to the pick
pocket, and, with an airy smile, said,
'This gentleman has my baggage
cheek" and he Immediately presented
it to her.
