just enough to give a delicate, per.
fume to the fan.

Worst in the History of
American Mining.

5F = ~ 81 &
First Explosion Occurred in Mine No.
s and Was Followed by a Similar
Disaster in No. on the Opposite
Side Of the Monongake!a River, the
Two Workings Being Connected.
Fairmont, w. Va, Dec THE ex-
plosion Of coal dust in mines Num-
bers 6 and of the Consolidation Coal
company of Baltimore, located on OPP
posite sides Of the. Monongahela river
at Monongah, six miles from here, re-
suited in what, from present reports,
is indicated to be the worst disaster
in the history of the coal mining in
dustry Of America.
The most conservative reports
place the number of men entombed
by the explosion at 800 and nearly all
estimates, including those of most of
the coal company officials, place the
number at least 500. Some estimates
place the number even higher. About
1000 miners are employed in the two
workings and most of them, it is said,
had entered the mine before the ex-
plosion occurred.
Mining experts, a large corps of
physicians and others familiar with
mining matters hold out practically no
hope to waiting friends that a single
person in the mine at the time of the
explosion has escaped DEATH
The town Of Monongah has a pop
ulation of about 5000 and while for
the most part the miners are of for
eign birth there are still many Amer
lean workmen. Possibly the largest
steel tipple in the state is located at
Monongah. The mines are both shaft
and slope mines, being worked by the
rope and haulage system. The coal
company is one of the largest COM
panies of the kind in the country and
is capitalized at about $20,0O0,O0O.
This accident is said to be the first
wherein a loss of life occurred by
explosion in the history of the region
comprising some sixty mines, owned
and operated by the Consolidation
Coal company. An explosion at the
Berryburg mine, forty miles south, a
tributary company to the Consolida-
ton company, was visited by an ex-
plosion less than two years ago and
nineteen men lost their lives.
No. s mine was opened only two
years ago and was considered the
most modern mine in every respect in
Central West Virginia. It was en-
tirely equipped with electricity and
considered absolutely safe. Electric
motors were used exclusively, while
the mine throughout was electrically
lighted and mining machines, driven
by this fluid, were used entirely.

NORTH COUNTRY INDIANS. ;

One Of the most distinctive features
Of the Hudson Bay Company, says the
author of 'sThe North Country" Is Its
cultivation of the Spartan virtue Of
truth upon the part of its employees in
dealing with the Indians No misrep.
resentation is permitted for the pur.
pose. Of effecting sales In that service,
or for any other purpose, and any in.
fraction Of the rule is promptly met
with summary dismissal.
This money-making corporation thor
oughly believes, and it's long experience
fully demonstrates, that the Indian Of
the north woods, Is not only industrious
but honest as well.
Upon this theory an Indian comes
into a trading-post In August or Sep
TENDER without a cent. He has no furs
to sell, but he has many needs to sup
ply. He requires -four, tea, sugar, ba'
con, a new gun, powder, shot and bul.
let's, traps, and many other things to
maintain him eight months during the
winter. He has no money, but he has
honesty and industry and skill; and
for the company's trader this is sufd.
Gent.
He is furnished with all he desires,
and the company extends him credit
on its books for supplies aggregatins
from two hundred to five hundred dol
lars, and the Indian, with loaded ca
noe, departs into the forest to his hunt
ing-grounds three hundred or five hun
dred miles distant.
The trader loses no sleep, for be
knows that when June has thawed OUT
the ice of the lakes and streams the
canoes will return, bearing their valua'
bic furs, and he will lie busy balancing
accounts with his former debtors, who
have returned to discharge their debts
and to receive credit for the additional
furs they have brought to the trader.
Last summer post-trader was asked
about the frequency Of bad accounts
He replied that he had never had
bad account; that it sometimes hap
pened that the Indian was unable to
make full payment, but in such cases
the payment was simply postponed un'
til he had q more successful hunt
The only event which prevents tne
Indian from paying Is his death, anu
in that case the company cancels the
debt

Driving Four Horses Abreast.
To drive four horses abreast, two
full sets Of lines are not absolutely ne
cessary as an arrangement such as that
shown In the accompanying illustra-
ton can be used.
B b B B are the bits. A A are ordi-
nary driving lines on the middle hors-
es. G G are straps from the inside
ring of the outside horses bits fasten-
ed to the hame ring of the inside
horses. d d are straps or extra lines
reaching across from the ordinary lines
to the outside ring of the bits of the
outside horses. AS a matter Of con-
venience, one may attach these to the
lines at the buckle, but that plan has
this objection, If the outside horses are
hard mouthed it has a tendency to pull
the lines out too far and worry the
inside horses mouths This can be
entirely overcome by making D D long

Timothy and Clover Hay.

Timothy hay is the one most COM
monty grown on the farm and found
in the market, according to Pennsyl-
vania bulletin. Timothy sells for a
higher price in the market than other
hay, and is regarded as being particu-
larly adapted to horses. 1t is deficient
in protein, and for that reason should
be fed with a grain ration of nitro
genous nature. For horses no better
basis for a ration can be found than
timothy hay and oats. 1t is less valu-
able for cattle and sheep. Glover hay
is next to timothy in common use, and
the two are more often found mixed
than either is found alone. The nitro
genous nature Of the clover aids in
supplying the deficiency of protein in
the timothy. Glover is more valuable
than timothy for cattle and sheep, but
is not considered so satisfactory for
horses.

unbroken or vicious horses 1t is good
plan to run DID out far enough that
the driver can slip his hands through
the loops thus made and use them as
a pair of holders are used on hard
mouthed driving horse.
In the second illustration the inside
horses are shown with a tie strap fas-
tening them together. In driving, tie
the hand pieces of each off rein togeth-
er, also those of the near horses, which,
if of equal length, enables the driver
to handle four horses with as much
ease as two.
