their work, In dinner-pail and lunchbox,

While Il is true that every laborer, in a
greater or lesser degree, takes his life In
his hand when he enters the place Of his
employment. Il Is probably equally true
that no class Is in the constant danger
that besets the coal miner. Only a short
time ago there was fearful mining dis

hardly month passes but that in some
part OF the world a mining disaster OF
appalling magnitude does not occur. To a
certain extent explosions Of firedamp can
not be entirely prevented, but science has
come to the rescue with appliances which
enable men 10 live even IN an atmosphere
laden With the deadly gases The first
Invention Of such apparatus was that OF a
Frenchman, Dr. Regnard. whose appliance
has been improved upon by other con-
trivances built upon the same principle
that OF supplying pure air by artificial
means. Two devices to be worn by miners
while IN mine flled with nredamp have
been tried and found successful One
furnishes fresh air or renews the supply
Of purified air, while the other carries a
supply OF compressed air to be liberated
as heeded. Both are strapped upon the
person OF the miner, and the head OF the
operator Is encased IN an alright helmet,
so that the only air which Is allowed to
reach his uostrils is thai which comes
from the contrivance Epon his back. or
course, the great force Of miners could
not work with these appliances upon their
backs. and besides Il would be too great
an expense. They are Invaluable, how
ever, for rescue work, when men are sent
TO the relief OF imprisoned or overcome
miners.

Recognized Dangerous Trades.
There are certain trades that are recog-
nized as dangerous. Take, for instance,
that of structural ironworkers. Thanks
to the erection Of many stee-frame build
ings all over the country this trade has
come into prominence during the past
few years. Everybody knows that these
men, crawling about at great heights. are
IN constant danger; that is, everyone
knows II, but the men themselves. Dur

its qualifications, that almost all the NO.
ticeable changes have been made or
planned in the methods Of both higher
and lower schools. The changes nave
perhaps, been on a more general line
in colleges and universities, INT nave
been concerned more largely with de-
tails in elementary schools.
The development toward education
for efficiency" in the higher schools
has been twofold. The most conscious
movement, the one most discussed and
most intelligently acted upon, has been
that toward closer contact between stu
dents and teachers. The other, which
is as yet almost unrecognized by cas-
ual observers, but is felt and under
stood by those of the widest experience
and deepest insight, has been toward
what might be called, to employ a me-
chanicai term, a "standardizing" OF
methods.

EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT

The development in educational
methods in the last year, while it has
exhibited little of the sensational OF
spectacular, has been steady ana
definite. On the other hand, the gen
eral advance in methods and ideals,
though almost unnoticed except by
those Immediately interested, has been
strong and constant. Old ideas have
been more fully worked out, and at
least one new purpose, which until
recently was merely an unconscious
trend, has become, with ~educatlonaI
leaders, a conscious aim.
The principal educational develop
ment in this year, as i'll several years
past, has been along the line of "edu'
cation for efficiency" and among the
broader educators "cducation TO" ef'
fcient service" The difference be
tween the two, to the teacher, is largely
one of ideal rather than of method, and
to the pupil, Of purpose than of train
ing, so that practically those who
worked largely for the training of the
individual machine and those who
worked for the development Of a
stronger social factor have found theil
immediate aims identical. 1t is in de-

The Care of Chicks.

Many of the losses among the broods
Of young chicks may easily be traced
to some neglect, either in care or food
In the first place. many are killed
in the nest because the hen is disturbed
and they are trampled or chilled. Do
not 60 zeal the nest after the eggs be-
gin to pip, except perhaps to remove
the shells after a portion of the chicks
have Matched. AS a rule, unless the
hen is very quiet, this should not be
done.
After t~wenty-four hours take the
hen and brood to a coop already pre-
pared under a dry shed. These coops
should consist of Stats arranged so that
the hen can move around comfortably,
with a roolny box at the end, where
she may take the chicks to roost. If
the weather is cold. keep the hen and
chicks in a warm room for a few days,
so that the chicks will not get chilled.
AS soon as taken from the nest, feed
the hen,. as she will be very hungry
from her long fast, as she never leaves
her nest after the chicks begin to
hatch.
The chicks will begin to come from
under her wings for food after a few
hours, and the first meal should be
rolled oats or stale crackers slightly
moistened with milk or water. They
will eat but little the first week, but
it should be given them every few
hours.
They should have milk or water to
drink, but you must watch that they
do not get wet. A shallow plate or
saucer filled with little pebbles will
keep them from falling in the water
Change the food occasionally and give
some kind of green stuff, cut fine
Teach the chicks early to scratch by
scattering oatmeal in litter and lei
them understand that they must WORK
for at least a portion Of their food
After the weather is warm the coops
should be scattered about over the
yard and orchard, where they should
remain until the mother weans them
after that they will still return to the
coop to roost or for protection from
danger.

SAFETY STOP ON GAS BURNER.

A safety attachment for gas burners
is the recent invention of i New Jer-
sey man. Instead of employing a STOP
cock the attachment regulates the foW
of gas, and rs long as the gas is burn
ing remains in that position, but should
there be any CarelessncSs in turning Oft
the gas the attachment does so auto
matically.
Whether the gas is purposely eXtiil-
g,;ished or extinguiShed by accident,
due to a high wind or when blown out
by an ignorant person, the attachment
acts By gravity to close the plug. The
attachment is pivoted to one end of the
%stop-cock, and consists of an arm which
extends parallel with the burner, and
| controlled by a lever.
At the top Of the arm is the portion
, which engages with the burner, being
made in the shape of a ring connected
to two horizontal bands. When the
gas is turned off and the attachment
in its normal position it is at right
angles to the burner. When the lever
is operated to turn on the gas the at

How Soma Seed Corn PAYS.

The farmers of Clifton township,
Bartholomew County, estimate that
there is a loss in that township of SlO,-
600 every year, on account of imper-
fect seed corn. That is to say the
crop would be worth that amount more
than now if perfect seed corn were
planted by all the farmers. This looks
like a wild statement, but it may NOT
be even less than the truth. The seed
corn experts show pretty clearly that
an average loss of thirty per cent. Is
sustained by planting corn that IS not
carefully selected and stored. Each
acre then that ought to yield Sixty
bushels with perfectseed loses eighteen
bushels when common seed is used; al
thirty-three cents a bushel this is ST,
and it takes only 1866 acres at So loss
per acre to make a total loss Of $4,000
There are certainly more than that
number of acres planted in corn in tina
corn growing township-and there are
hundreds more of our townships to
which the same estimate would apply
equally we'll. Every farmer who plants
inferior seed loses from So to 81 Oh
each acre in the yield Of corn. If he
has twenty-five acres in this crop he
loses over $12J; if forty acres, S20
