moved from near Clayton to the Eagle
Nest Landing Farm, killed last Satur-
day morning two water snakes, one of
which was over two yards long. The
snakes which had been hibernating
crawled out too soon and were nearly
frozen. Both snakes were unusually
large.

The young doctor to whom the

contemptuously at the old woman
who had come to the uptown hos
pital where he was an inferno to in
quire about her son.

"Oh, DEAR" said the woman, for
she was not as ornately educated as
the young physician, Sis it as bad as

Elkins, W. Va, Feb. 5.--Between 25
and 30 miners were killed by an ex-
plosion at the Davis Coal and Coke
company's mine No. %, at Thomas
near this city. The explosion was ter
rife and badly damaged the mine. 1t
was the third disaster in West Vir-
ginia within two weeks.
When the rescuing party entered
the mine, the bodies of six foreigners
and one American were found at dis
tance of 100 feet from the shaft. Be-
fore further progress could be made,
deadly wave or POISONOUS fumes en-
veloped the rescuing party, which was
composed of General Manager OFT, ID.
M. Boyd, superintendent Henry mine;
Daniel Jones, mine boss; Arthur Stew
ard and John jenkins. Before the res
cuing party could reach the surface,
Jones, the mine boss, died from sutfo-
cation.
Efforts are being made to enter the
mine again, but without success. The
air fans were demolished by the ex-
plosion and the mine is full of danger
GUS afterdamp. There is no possible
hope that the men still in the mine
are alive. While the exact number Of
entombed men is not known at this
time, the number is estimated at about
80, and it is thought. probable that
there might De more.
Owing to the dangerous afterdamp
and the lack of ventilation, it was al
most certain death for the rescuing

Suggestions That Will Help In Making
1t HabitabIe

In addition to those familiar uses
of attics which are so vivid when it
rams or when one is cynical or
moody or inclined to be witty at the
expense of bedposts and warming
pans, there are improved uses an at
tic can be put to and still remain an
attic. The feeling of attics-that
sense they give of friendly aliena-
ton from the world below stairs
must not, of course, be lost. If one
desires no more than a place in
which to tell fairy tales at twilight
the lighting of a candle might
be change enough in the usual un-
plastered and left over space. But
that is too simple, Besides, the
taste for fairy tales is not universal,
and it is, moreover, taste more
natural in the nursery than in the
attic, But a habitable attic must
be anything but dingy. A glass
trapdoor, such as one too often sees,
is not enough. There should be
great dormer window, built low
enough for window seats, and ample
seats at that, large enough to
lounge in. There should be wide
sills, too, for flowers, for an attic
without flowers would be unimagina-
BILE. As for the body of the room
the chief thing to do where there
are gables would be to insert
wainscot all around of, say, five or
six feet in height. Along this could
be put shelves for books or odds
and ends of whatever kind. A car
pet would be improper, for it is ira
ditional that an attic is bare. In
expensive rugs and skins suggest
themselves mechanically, like easy
chairs, work table and lounge.
The fancy includes a piano, pic
lures, glorious andirons, sconces,
while the Imagination leaps to ar
NOR and cabinets. Yet in proper
attic the furniture should be little
commonplace with discarded look,
If you will, to be in keeping. Things
half broken down are fit for
quaint utility there, and as clothes
once decent on Sunday come to be
so only on Saturday and then on
Friday, and so on, so odds and ends
as they grow familiar and worn in
other parts of the house have last !
use-as old companions in an attic.

train ON the Northwestern railway

due to a forward car leaving the
track and ditching the cars behind it.
The train had on board about 30
miners, scattered in groups on differ

in the caboose The victims were all
buried under the wreckage, and the
coal, which later caught on fire, made
the rescue work difficult 1t is feared
that when the wreckage is fully
cleared away other victims may be
found.

FEATHERING OF CHICKS.
1t Is Exhausting Growth and Healthy
FEEDING Is Necessary.

The sooner the young chick devel-
ops his feathers and gets rid or MS
down the better. The time at winch
the chick is putting out feathers IS
considered a crisis in his life. 1t is
therefore necessary to give him nutrl-
tious food so as he can build the
feathers as soon as possible. A part
ration of meat daily is very good 10
helm him in this work, which comes
as an extra strain at this time. The
fact that some chicks feather too rap
idlv is a cause of weakness with them.
There is no other way to do than 10
give the very best food that can De
given, those feeds rich in body build
ing material. Skim milk is good.
But feeding of corn meal is COM
mon on some farms, the young chlcKs
being given a very large amount OF
this kind of food. With corn meal,
saws Prairie Farmer, the chick has to
digest a great deal of food to get the
amount of nitrogen needed for the
huilding of the feathers, and the feath-
ers are rich in nitrogen. One OF the
host feeds at this time is oatmeal.
