curately as a gift of which Nature
is so parsimonious she confers it
only upon a chosen few, while
she compels the mass of men to
acquire it in lesser degree, after
years of trial and failure. If
this be true we must conclude
that Nature regards the mass of
men as fools unable to acquire
that upon which their happiness,
life and destiny depend, except in
the school of bitter experience.
We must regard this as untrue,
for nature has givenhalf the race
ability to reach quick and safe
decision, especially upon ques-
tions containing a moral or spir-
itual element. Woman's quick
intuition hears her to such con-
clusions and decisions as a man
may reach only by a logical pro-
cess based upon his experience
and observation. With many
men this is a slow, laborious and
painful proceeding, and often re-
minds one Of the fable Of the
mountain and the mouse. Such
men frequently and utterly fail
to, decide until time for decision
has passed. Who has not met.
them? They are never at funer-
ais nor weddings, even though
their own, until the next day,
simply because of their inability
to reach prompt, clear and def
mite decision.
It is almost certain that right
education would give men the
ability to think quickly and accu-
rately and to decide promptly and
wisely. Subsequent action would
then always produce the most de-
sirable and beneficent results.
AS early as possible teach the
child how to think for himself
from the data he has and from
facts he may easily obtain. Con-
tinue this until he has not only
learned how to think but has ac-
quired the habit of thinking and
acting for himself. If he act un-
wisely show him it is because he
did not think correctly. Never
require a child to act more wisely
than his experience and observa-
tion should warrant ; but al ways
put the responsibility of decision
and action upon him. He will
soon learn to think, to decide and
to act for himself, and take the
consequences. He will become a
quick, safe and courageous think
er and actor and will score sue
cess in life. Do not train chill
dren to look to you for decision
and action when they may rea ch
them for themselves.
We have in mind a most intel
ligent and amiable spinster, a
rich, homeless, friendless old
" oman, yet good and true and
womanly, but who has missed all
the best possibilities Of life be-
cause she could not decide for
herself. Time and again, stand
ing in the shadow of an auspi-
cious hymeneal altar, she has
wrecked all by appealing to her
friends, saying Il do not know
what to do. What would you
do?"
Teach child self-reliance and
personal accountability.

THE NINE DISASTERS.

THE MINE DISASTERS.
The recent appalling disasters
occurring in the coal mines OF
West Virginia and Alabama have
been made the text by portion
of the press for a senseless dia-
tribe directed against the mine
owners.
No reputable newspaper, no
writer wishing to state the truth
may indulge in such language.
1t IS base, contemplate spirit
which seizes upon such terrible
occurrences and makes them the
grounds for arraying class against
class, as the poor against the
rich, the laborer against his en-
ployer.
In the presence of such disas-
ters there are no classes. ALI
men stand amazed. The bond
of common humanity. stronger
than any conventional distinc-
tion of class, hold them together
and show them to the world as
men and brethren.
But what are. the facts as to
the conditions under which coal
is mined in these localities I?
The mines are operated under the
most stringent laws, intelligent
ly and rigidly enforced by public
officers, chosen because of their
knowledge of mines and mining.
These laws are directed upon the
mineowner and operator and en-
brace every device human ex-
perience has found necessary
and human ingenuity has con-
ceived for the preservation of
the health and lives Of the
miners.
The operators readily comply
with the conditions of these ex-
pensive and elaborate laws. If
they were devoid of all feeling
of humanity, self-interest alone
would enforce the laws so far as
they are concerned.
1t is passing strange that the
very men for we welfare the
laws are intended should be the
most needless violators of their
provisions. Constant familiarity
with danger and long absence of
acc ident beget contempt for it
and carelessness of those pre-
caut tions which alone can insure
continued safety.
We do not know the cause of
the recent disasters, but it is GER
tain that no effort nor expense
will be spared to learn the cause
and provide against its future
mischief.
It is probable that the true
cause is in the realm of the un-
known and will require long and
patient investigation before it is
discovered. We recall the disas-
ter which occurred twenty or
more years ago in one of the large
Touring mills of Minneapolis. 1t
was caused by the accumulation
of an imralpable dust which in
vestigation proved to be highly
explosive and infiammable.
Men do not know all of Ma
ture's laws nor understand the
process of her chemical labora TO-
ry, and she is wont to resent any
intrusion byso coarse a manipula-
tor as man. Who knows? "The
mad unchanged wrath of the ele-
ments" may be necessary "to
teach US who rules them"
