As to Sleep and Study.

Many youth in school is con.
demned as sleepy head because his
parents neglect to see to it that he
gets the proper amount OF sleep.
Mothers know that the newborn in
fant should sleep about % hours each
day and that this need of sleep is
lessened SO slowly that the child de-
mands - hours when 1t is about II
years old. 1t is decided by experts
that the normal amount OF sleep is
not reduced to ten hours until between
the ages Of IS and 81 years. and that
many persons require nine hours
sleep during most of life thereafter.
Despite these facts that should be
well known, how many boys Of II to
IA years form the habit of sitting up
until ten O'Clock at night and are
as regularly routed out by their pa
rents at six o'clock in the morning?
This is crime, the evil of which Is
in no degree lessened because it Is a
1ong-established custom. Experience
and observation have proved that
those who retire in time to
sleep at least nine hours get far more
OF permanent good out of their course
OF study than those who double their
hours of work by robbing themselves
OF sleep, says the Chicago Sun. The
child especially should be in bed reg.
ularly in time that 1t will awaken
naturally at an early enough hour to
be ready for school. II allowed to
sit up late to be literally dragged from
bed in the morning. the parent should
expect the child to be in the sleepy
head class.

Women as Inventors.

In reply to the charge that women
are lacking in mechanical ingenuity.
it is asserted that many OF the most
valuable inventions patented by men
In reality represent ideas conceived
in the brains of their wives. their
sisters and their daughters. Eli Whit
ncy's famous cotton gin is said to
have been merely the application OF a
device first thought out by a woman
the widow of Gen. Nathaniel Greene.
The "Coston light" which is used by
our lifc-saving service, and by mar.
iners all over the world, for signaling
at night-it burns like red fire-is a
woman's invention. says the Techical
paper bag with a satchel bottom
which was the idea OF Miss NJ. f.
Knight. The machine by which
comb foundation" as it Is called. for
bee hives. is made. was patented by
Frances A. Durham. in 1881. 1t saves
bees half the labor Of honeycomb con.
struction by turning out wax sheets

as basis to build the combs upon
But the most wonderful point about
the contrivance is that, the cells out

A Sermon in Precious Stones.

~ sermon IN FTeClCuS otOncS.
In all ages of the world the meas.
sse of nations prosperity has been
gauged by the luxuries with which
the people surrounded themselves.
This is as true now as it was in the
days of Roman conquest, and it is
shown particularly in a recent Off
cial statement concerning the impor-
tation into this country Of South Al
rican diamonds Last year $35,OOo.'
600 of these precious stones found
their way into the United States.
When Speaker Cannon uttered his
emphatic and unique declaration con,
cerning this country's success he only
declared a fact, says the Philadel'
phia Press. The past ten years,
judged by the Importation of diamonds
alone, has been the most prosperous
and successful this country has ever
known. In 1897 the imports OF dia'
monds in round numbers exceeded
1900. 900. although the price per
carat was not nearly as high as 1t has
been since. This wonderful increase
shows that there is a demand for
them. and the demand is an indica.
tion that the people have the money
wherewith to purchase them. Dia-
monds are an unfailing indication OF
prosperity. The first thing the aver
age man does when he gets little
ahead in the world is TO bay a dia-
mond shirtstud or diamond earrings
makes the more diamonds he buys,
and that men have been making
money and that the country is un-
usually prosperous is indicated by
these figures on diamonds.

The government is acting with en-

and in dispatching $50 more men to

The capture OF San Juan De Marti

surprise. though 1t was not expected
to occur 80 soon. The place was pro
tected by n small detachment OF rural
guards. while Guerrera's strength was
much greater.
rho taking OF Pinar Del Rio will be
quite another matter. since there are
in that vicinity twice as many troops
as the insurgcnt Pine Guerrero can

probable that the troops will take the

into an open fight.

Yin Tchang, the Chinese minister here,
said:
"Antl-foreign outbreaks in China are

crate foreign aggressons and will not
allow Chinese abroad to be treated as
an inferior race. At the same time l
do not believe Americas preparations
are really directed against China, but
are meant to serve some other pur-
pose.
"I think a repetition of the united ac-
ton on the part Of the powers against
China is impossible in consequence of
the political situation No power is
likely to risk the danger of a single
handed action. Moreover, China is
now in a position to place in the field
modern army of 100000 men, and
this number is steadily increasing.
China will now at least try to stand
up for her rights"

STOCKTON, Feb. S.--While working

of the App mine at Quartz, Tuolumne
county, last Monday night, Tom o.
Sablich, an Austrian, single, and Guero
Buvich, who has family at Monte

at midnight of 100 feet of the roof of
the drift. Their predicament was not
known until o'clock in the morning.
The alarm was given at once and soon
200 miners from the other mines gath
cred and began digging for the inn
prsoned men.
At 8 o'clock this morning blast was
heard, but that it was fired as a signal
by the entombed miners was not
known until an Austrian at the risk
of his life crawled through the debris
to within twenty-five feet of the men
and called them by name. They
promptly answered that they were all
right and not hungry, though cold.
They jestingly asked that the rescuers
hurry up with cars as they had con-
siderable rich ore ready for them. 1t
Is expected that the men will be
reached bout noon tomorrow.
The superintendent of the mine re-
fused to stop all other work in the
mine while the work of rescue was in
progress, thereby occasioning much un-
favorable comment The request was
made by a number of Austrian miners
who became so insistent that 1T was
finally deemed advisable to call the
sheriff and deputy. Trouble was
averted by the presence of the officers

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-John F. Wal
lace, former chief engineer of the Pan
anna canal, tonight gave to the AS
sociated Press the following state
ment:
In justice to Secretary Taft and
myself L desire to correct an erroneous
report, which was given forth by the
press of the examinations of the SEN
atorial committee in Washington on
Tuesday.
I'm the press report of this examina-
ton it was stated that 1 said that
Secretary Taft at the Manhattan hotel
interview in New York last June had
almost cursed me. Senator Morgan
in one of his questions asked If the
secretary showed temper at that inter-
view. My answer was yes followed
by the general remark that his de-
Inunciation almost crushed me, or
words to that effect-referring to the
effect of his denunciation and not to
the language used by him. When the
published press report was brought TO
my attention / was absolutely at a
loss to determine in what manner the
misunderstanding occurred, until my
secretary, who afterward examined the
official record, informed me as to how
the error had evidently occurred on
the part of the press reporters.
TT may be plainly seen that this err
ror was due to the similarity between
the words cursed and Crushed
therefore earnestly desire the AS
sociated Press to correct the matter.

Il LIVES LOST
IN COAL MINE
EXPLOSION IN C0LLIERIES IN

Six Bodies Of Victims Are Recovered.
Disaster Is Caused by ignition
Of Pocket Of
Gas
BY Associated Press.


CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. Sat
least twenty men are supposed to have
met death in a terrible mine explosion
in the Parral mine of the Stewart Col
lieries company near Oak Hill. Thirty
nine men were employed in the mine
and only twelve have escaped alive.
At midnight six bodies had been re-
covered near the mouth of the mine,
and it is certain that all the others in
the mine are dead.
Among those known to be in the mine
and supposed to be dead are:
Mine Boss Pratt and his son, white.
Four negroes, David Wells, James
Swan, George Jones and William Madi-
son.
Robert Featherglt.
The explosion occurred at 1880 o'clock
today and was caused by a pocket Of
gas which was struck in fault In
the mine. The explosion was terrific,
and it is thought that many of the
miners were killed outright by It, The
system of fans was completely wrecked
and all air was shut off, leaving the
men to smother to death. The mine IL
a shaft mine, about 700 feet deep, and
the unfortunate miners had little
chance of escape.
Most of the entombed men are Hun
garians or negroes, who had little ex-
perience in mining. They were not
expecting the pocket of gas, which is
nearly always discovered in mine faults
in the Kanawha region.
