Half a dozen clever girls in New York are earning substantial in- comes as book digesters." Each of them has for her clientele women too busy with social engagements to find time for reading, yet who wish to keep abreast of current literature, says an exchange. The 'digester" carefully follows noteworthy publi- cations in fiction, art, science, his- tory or religion. Once or twice a week she calls at the house of ''cli- ent" to review the contents of the books read. She is careful to mem- orize any epigram or witty saying that her client might introduce eff fectively in conversation. Tt is re- markable how little leisure some wo- men have" said a Vassar graduate who has adopted the new calling. They can seldom give me a half hour all to myself. l am asked to call at the same hour as the hair dresser, the manicure or the chiropu- dist, and in specially gay seasons all three of these attendants may be at work upon her while I sit at a lit tie distance and post her upon cur rent books" Surely social engage ments and customs have been ex- tended beyond the limit. A dwarfed mind leads to a dwarfed soul. It may be true that a society woman loses little in not being familiar with all or any of the modern ephemeral books of the day; but she is equally cut of from those which have come down from the ages. Artificial life, then, is the parent of superficial in formation. The social whirl is more exacting than business demands. President Roosevelt is a heavily worked man and yet manages to read many books. Society must learn the knack of measuring time or ap- portioning it or else it will run into a mentally weak and silly state. Book digesters" are better than nothing. They prove the old adage true-"There is no royal road to learning"

LOST TWENTY-FIVE DAYS.
Story of the Miner Who Was Res
 cued at Lens Yesterday.

cued at Lens leSterday. Lens, April 5.-August BertoL, the miner, tells the story of his long Imprisonment as follows: Wandering alone among hundreds of dead companions and facing horrors, he at one time gave up hope and tried suicide by opening his veins.
 While he subsisted on scraps of food he found, he suffered much from cold and was forced to take garments and shoes from the dead to keep himself warm.
 The man lost all track of time, he computing that he had been entombed only eight days. He had very little sleep.
 The condition of Berton Is pitiful in the extreme. He is on the verge of madness as a result of his terrible ex- perience. The greatest care is being used in giving him food.
 One of the salvage corps was work ing in a distant bore when he felt what he thought was a dead mans hand touch his shoulder. A voice whispered, "I am saved" and the workman called to his fellows. They carried the man out. He was covered from head to foot with thick layer of dust. His beard was matted with it. After a stimulant he recovered and in the hospital re- counted the story of his experience.
 'I was working with my cousin" he said, when the explosion occurred. My cousin ran away, and l never saw him again. There were others, but they, too ran away and were lost to me. I met several men as l tried to get out of the shaft. It was closed up. and far above 1t was all afire. The bores were all changed and fallen in. and I had great trouble in getting through them. Then I went into an other working. pit No. 4 of the Sallau- mines
 "I kept falling over the bodies of dead men. I met several miners short ly after the explosion. all frightened and running in every direction. When I became hungry I found the lunch bundles that lay beside some of the dead men. They kept me alive"
 The physicians believe that Berton became delirious for a time and that the rigors of starvation brought him again into sanity.
 The news of his rescue spread rapid Iy. and in a few minutes the pit mouth was surrounded by throngs, mostly women. who fought boldly against the gendarmes and defied them to use their bayonets.
 One of the engineers. Deon. was sur rounded and attacked a woman lead ing the mob. and was only saved by tbe intervention of troops.
 Violence Is expected any moment. for the temper of the miners Is at A dan gsr0us heat Cries of Kill the mur- derers.' greet such of fhe officials as have the temerity t0 walk abroad Few of them dare to venture out The miners declare that there are many more of their fellows in the l-ores and that the company is to blame for their deaths.

The work of the New York Legal Aid society is growing, and last year 1,0S5 more cases were handled than
 in 1905. The total number of cases was 1,372, and for clients who pay a retainer of only ten cents each $61,140 was collected through court proceedings. This Is about $2,5Oo more than was collected in the same class of cases last year. A branch office of the society has been estab- lished in Harlem, and the officers say that one is needed in Brooklyn. These societies are growing and are of vast benefit to poor people who have not the means to carry on a suit or cannot afford the expense of suing for small amounts. Every city in the land needs. such a society, because if law means justice it should oper- ate along lines that are as favorable to the poor man as to the rich. Law should not be luxury, but a cheap, common necessity to gain rights. In deed, some philosophers and students of government maintain that the ad- ministration of law should be free that is, paid for by the state. This is too radical, no doubt. But one thing is sure, the man with a small claim should have a way of collect ing it without an expense greater than the sum recovered.

 How can we live to a good old age? There are many ways. We can honor our fathers and mothers. We can eat only two meals day, or only one. We can cut meat out of our bills of fare.
