A REMARKABLE ESCAPE

Richard EDDY Fell Down SHAFT At Crystal
Falls Mine
Tho most remarkable escape from
death ever narrated. with but one
exception. In the Crystal Fails district
occurred at the Crystal Falls mine last
week. when Richard Eddy fell back
into the shaft after slighting from the
skip at surface. and saved himself by
catching hold OF the cable which was
pulling up the other skip.
| II is tho custom. at the Crystal Falls.

the close OF the days work: Eddy.
with a number other men. Iode TO sur
face on the north skip. In slignting,
he must have slipped back into the
other compartment for he pitched head
long down the shaft and when about
thirty feet down he managed to throw
mis- arm over the cable. which was pull
ling mp the skip in that compartment.
He pulled himself up to the cable and
grasped 1t with his hands still with
head downward, and managed to check
his fall enough to allow him to turn
around on the rope and at sixty to
seventy feet from surface he succeeded
in stopping himself.
BY this time his partners on surface
awoke to what had happened and
signaled TO the engineer to stop hoist
ing. This allowed Eddy TO get his
bearings and he was soon afterward
rescued.
The shaft is an underlay at about
sixty degrees had 1t been a downright
one he would certainly have been kill
led.
Il was remarkable escape and one
that is not liable to happen again for
many years.
The one miraculous escape that ex-
ceeds this one In wonderment occurred
st Amssa several years ago when o
drunken Finn went 10 the Hemlock
shaft about ten o'clock ut night and
rang stop" 10 the engineer as he was
lowering the empty skip. The fellow
then caught hold Of the rope and slid
down on II TO the skip about 200 feet
below. When he reached the skip he
got down 10 the bottom and lay down
to sleep. The engineer held the skip
AT the spot a long time and getting no
signal he went 10 the shaft to inquire
the cause and was informed by the
lander that no singal had been given
from that point The engineer then
lowered the skip very cautiously to the
bottom.
The delay 10 the skip had caused a
congestion Of cars on the plat below
and as soon as IL rested on the bearers
car Of ore, holding two tons, that
had been waiting on the plat was
dumped into the skip. the sleeping
man in the bottom not having been
detected by the skip tender
The skip was "rung mp" hauled TO
surface aud It's contents dumped into
the pocket The ore fell out first and
after IL tbs man who had been thoro-
ughly awakened and sobered by this
time. He followed the ore as IL des-
cended into the pocket and through a
chute into another compartment Of the
pocket and then out through the main
chute into the railroad car. The fell
low had no sooner alighted In the car
than he sprang TO his feet jumped OH

HEART OF LOUIS xiv.
How 1T Came to BE Buried In west
minister Abbey.

How 1T Came to BE Buried In West"
minister Abbey.
A remarkable story regarding the
heart of Louis XIV. and how it came
to be buried in Westminster abbey was
told in London Truth by Henry La
bouchere, who said the story was told
to him by the late Colonel Harcourt
and was confirmed by his brother, the
late Sir William Harcourt. A Har-
court who lived during the first French
revolution had many connections i'll
France and invited many of the emf
gres to visit him. Among them was the
canon of ST. Denis. On leaving the
canon expressed his thanks for the
kindly hospitality of his host and pro-
duced from his pocket something that
looked like a piece of dried leather all
inch or SO long, which he presented to
him. Il was,'' he said, Gin the cathe-
dral when the royal tombs were broken
open and the contents scattered to the
Winds This heart is that Of Louis
XIV. 1t was kept in separate recep'
tacle, and l managed to get away with
It, The heart thus came into the pos
session of the Harcourt family and
was occasionally produced for the i'll
spection of visitors as curiosity. The
late DR.. Buckland, dean Of Westmin-
ster, was on visit when it was
brought out for his inspection. He was
then very old and had some reputation
as a man of science, and the scientific
spirit moved him to wet his finger and
rub it on the heart. He put the finger
to his mouth after that, and before he
could be stopped he put the heart into
his mouth and swallowed 1t, whether
by accident or design will never be
known. Very shortly afterward he died
and was buried in Westminster abbey.
1t is impossible he could ever have di-
gested the thing. Consequently the
heart of Louis XIV. must now be re-
posing in Westminster abbey inclosed
in the body of an English dean.

How Count Rumf0Rd Solved It I'm B0-
varia In 1870.
A remarkable experiment was made
In Bavaria in 1870 in an effort to solve
the problem Of the unemployed. Count
Rumford, an Englishman, after an ad-
yenturous career in America, settled In
Bavaria. won the confidence Of the
elector and obtained permission to ap-
ply Cromwellian methods In Kidding
the state of all it's tramps, beggars.
thieves and undesirables. On New
Years day four regiments of cavalry
were distributed throughout the state,
and at q given hour drive" was
made of all the undesirables. Over TO-
600 were placed under arrest, includ-
ing 1900 in Munich alone.
These derelicts were afterward set to
work in factories which had been spe-
cially established for their reception,
and Count Rumford superintendent the
work Of their reformation. Some trou-
BILE was at first experienced with the
raw army, but by kindness, exhorta-
ton and encouragement. by the public
distribution of special awards for mer-
1t, the best results were achieved, and
In few years the thrlftless were con-
verified into good citizens.
Count Rumford secured q great hold
upon these people. On one occasion
when he was reported to be dying a
multitude of poor people marched in
procession, silently and with bowed
heads, to the principal church in Mu-
mich to offer prayers for his recovery,
despite the fact that he was a for
eigner and a Protestant.

THE AVERAGE BOY.
How One Woman Sums Up His Att1s
tude Toward His Mother


In taking issue with a schoolmarm
who said that when a boy thought
much of a teacher it counted, while
the girl pupils professed friendship
was only skin deep. a Howard mother
who has both a son and daughter
touches up boys in this fashion: ''The
average boy looks on his mother as a
slave, drudge, a person to work for
him, to be growled at, to be ashamed
Of and pushed aside when he gets old
enough to look out for himself. The
average girl, though she may be
spoiled, selfish and at times migrate
full, turns to mother for comfort, for
advice, and when needed is kind, con-
siderate and helpful. Some time ago 1
worked hard to give my boy and girl
treat. They were away from home for
a few days and fixed up each ones
room with new curtains, new carpets
and q lot of new things for their
shelves, tables and dressers. My little
girl was so delighted that she could
scarcely contain herself. My son never
noticed the things and never expressed
a word Of thanks when his attention
was finally called to them. I have
talked with other mothers and almost
without exception their experience is
the same. The daughters are the kind
est and most grateful, while the boys
exact the most attention, help the least
and cause us the most worry and heart
aches.-Kansas City Journal.

ANDERS JACOBSEN'S TET.
Sod Hyomei for Years and Knows 1t
Will Cure Catarrh

Sod Hyomel for Years and Knows 1t
Will Cure Catarrh
Anders Jacobsen has given Hyomei
a most thorough and remarkable test.
For long time he has offered to re.
fund the money to any purchaser of
Hyomei, if it failed to benefit.
The remedy has made so many
cures among his customers that he
has urged its use in the most chronic
cases of catarrh.
Breathed for few minutes four
times day, through the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, it soothes
the irritated mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and lungs, kills the Ca
tarrhal germs, and restores complete
health. Its healing, antiseptic fra
GRANGE penetrates to the most remote
air passages, as no medicine taken
into the stomach can possibly do.
Immediate relief almost always fol-
lows the use of Hyomei, and great
benefit is seen after few days treat
ment.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
only 81, and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the pocket or
purse, and will last lifetime, med
icine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei.
If this is not sufficient for a complete
cure, additional bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained for so cents.
Compare this small expense with
the fees charged by specialists, and
too, if Hyomei does not
cure, Anders Jacobsen will return
your money.

Found the saints Day.

An Italian newspaper gives an ac-
count of an amusing lawsuit which has
taken place lately in a Russian city in
which German Is the prevailing Ian
guaEe. One man sued another to re-
cover the sum OF 80 rubles, the debtor
having faithfully promised to return
the money ON st. Henry's day. But
having failed to do SO for a long time
the lender discovered that the Russian
Orthodox church includes no such saint
as ST. Henry. and the Judge before
whom the case was tried was much
puzzled as to what verdict he should
give. Happily the idea occurred to him
that, saint or no saint, All Saints day
included even the most doubtful, so he
gave Judgment that the so rubles
should he returned next All Saints day.

Hints to PubIic Spenkeru.

Never refer pityingly to the poor.
This brands you at once as a dema-
gogue. Never say anything respectful
of corporate wealth. In so doing you
lay yourself open to the charge Of be-
ing a hired man.
Never use slang If you want respect
able people to take stock in you. New
er use pure English. The masses hate
priggishness.
Never talk straight to the point. You
will be accused of taking yourself too
seriously. Never tell funny stories.
They lead to the suspicion Of chican-
cry.
Never praise "our forefathers." An
cestry pride is disgusting. Never ap-
peal to the sturdy immigrant leaven
in our midst 1t rifles the old families.

A Rare Coin.

When Louisiana seeded, Jan. &c,
1861, the new government seized the
United States mint at New Orleans and
struck $254,920 i'll double eagles and
$1.101, 316.50 in silver half dollars,
using the United States dies for 1861.
The bullion was exhausted in May,
1861, when the coinage ceased and the
United States dies were destroyed. A
Confederate States die was then made,
to be used for silver half dollars, but
it was not fit for use in coming press,
the relief being too high. Four half dol
lars were struck with it on a screw
press, and these comprise the entire
coinage of the Confederate States.
