MINERS DIE IN EXPLOSION.
Religious Scruples Saved Only Men
Left in Naomi.

Bellevernon, Pa. - The greatest
mine disaster in the history of the Mo-
nongahela Valley was when the Naomi
coal mine, about four miles from
here, was blown up by an accumula-
tion of gas. 1t is certain that forty
nine miners have perished. There is
no longer hope of rescue, as there
cannot be life in the mine. The Cor
oner and his assistants brought up
thirteen bodies. Not one man who
was in the mine when the explosion
occurred escaped alive.
Entry &c of the Naomi Mine, about
1000 feet from the surface, is report
ed by the last rescue party as liter
ally blocked with bodies. Eleven
were counted. The little mining vii
lage of Naomi has been literally
wiped from the earth, so far as bread
winners are concerned. There is
scarcely one of the fifty little houses
in the town over which the pail of
sorrow does not hang. There are but
eighteen men left in thevillage. More
than half of these would not go to
work because it was Sunday. The
others were drunk-too drunk to be
allowed to enter the mine-and were
turned back by the pit bosses when
they sought to go into the mine with
open lamps.

Power From the Tides.

Attention is once more called to
this subject by the proposed estab-
lishment of power plant based on
the use of the tides to compress air
at Rockland, Me. At that place there
exists a natural tidal basin covering
an area of about one square mile.
The average rise and fall of the tide
is twelve feet. 1t has been calculated
by the engineers in charge of the pro-
ject that 5000 horse power can be de-
veloped, assuming an efficiency OF
seventy per cent. for the air COM
pressing apparatus. 1t has been
shown that compressed air can be
transmitted long distances through
pipes with very little loss Of power,
and it is proposed to supply such air
to stone quarries situated within a
radius of twenty miles from the tidal
basin. 1t is pointed out that many
similar tidal basins exist elsewhere
along the seacoast.-Youth's Com
panion. =.

PeopIe Missing in Berlin.

opinion seems to be that the Statis-

Poor Pussy.

If there be any noticeable falling
off in the cat population hereabouts it
may without doubt be attributed to
the growing use of cat fur. Almost
any kind of feline, it seems, will do
for this purpose, even the back fence
variety, If it be sufficiently well nour-
ished to make the coat heavy and
smooth. The pelts are worth here
from fifteen to twenty-five cents each,
and the securing them is something
CT an industry in Philadelphia. The
skins are, however. sent to France,
where they are dyed, and whence
they return to this country as popu-
lar fur.-Philadelphia Record.

woods on their fathers farm over
turned large rock, under which they
found ball of snakes.
The snakes were coiled in bulk as
large as a bushel basket, and the lads
succeeded in killing all of them.
There were fifty snakes in the bunch,
including many milk snakes, garter
snakes, several black snakes and
other specimens.-Bath Correspond

Yea and Neigh.

The village innkeeper had a good
horse. The peasants borrowed it so
much that the innkeeper determined
to discourage them. So one day
when a peasant came to borrow the
horse, the innkeeper said he was
sorry but he had let it already. Just
then a neigh came from the stable.
You've not lent it. hear 1t

Just SnceZe Right Out.

Never suppress a sneeze," said
the trained nurse to the young
woman who had just performed that
,polits act. 1T is great strain on all
the nerves and the blood vessels OF
the head, as it throws all the action
to the back of the head instead OF
letting it come out of the mouth safe
ly and naturally. The unusual and
hard strain on little blood vessel
that may b; weak is likely to burst it
and cause instant death. A loud
sneeze does not sound very nice, but
it is a safe thing to do every time"

Seeking 4 Solution.

The city of Los Angeles, Cal, il
seeking for solution of the bar
room problem. Last year the cleo
tors voted on the total abolition OF
the barroom, but the proposal was
overwhelmingly defeated. Now an
other plan is to be tried. This plan
promises:
No treating. Only the purest liq'
uors to be sold. Bartenders given q
percentage on all soft" drinks, tc
push the sale of non-intoxicants. Nc
violation of existing laws. No liquor
sold to minors or drunken men. Nc
women allowed in saloons. The city
to reap the profits.
The scheme is backed by a group
of prominent citizens, who will ac'
uuire the saloons and turn them ovel
to a holding company. They are al!
men of Independent means, who be-
lieve they see in the plan a rational
solution of the saloon problem. II
the above plan goes through, the es'
Establishments will be reduced to TWEEN
ty-five. Voting will take place at the
time of the municipal elections, and
the result will be watched with great
interest.

Self-Sacrifce in Love.

Self-denial, self-sacrifice, self-sur--
renderi These are hard doctrines and
impossible! Whereupon, in silent
hours, we skeptically ask, Is this i'm
possible? Is it natural?
Let preacher or moralist say what.
he will, am not here to sacrifice my,
self to others. God sent me here for
happiness, not misery. -:
Now introduce one passage Of
Scripture, and the dark doctrine be-
come Illuminated: "The love Of
Christ constraineth u.s." Self-denial
for the sake Of self-denial does no.
good; self-sacrifice for its own sake
is no religious act at all. If you give,
up a meal for the sake of showing
power over self, or for the sake Of
self-discipline, it is the most misera-
BILE of all delusions. You are not
more religious in doing this than be-
fore. This is self-culture, and SELF
culture being occupied forever about
self, leaves you only in that circle of
self from which religion is to free1
you; but to give up a meal tnat one.
you love may have it, is properly q.
religious act-no hard and dismal

was an actual pleasure in the keen
pain far beyond the most rapturous-
thrill of nerve which could be gained
from pleasure in the midst Of pain
lessness?
Is not the mystic yearning of. love:
expressed in words more purely thus:
tLet me suffer for Him." This ele-
ment of love is that which makes this;
doctrine an Ineligible and blesseds

So sacrifice alone. bare and unre-
lieved, is CHASTITY, unnatural and,
dead; but self-sacr:fce, Illuminated
by love, is warmth and life; it is the.

The call is for men, everywhere,
who will draw the thing az they see

men who have a great hunger and
thirst after character, not after repu-

acter," Mr.. Moody used to, say, "is'
what you are in the dark. Men are
called for who, when they are in ac-
ton, are not always listening for the,
click of the camera and the scratch
of the reporters pencil, but men who;
are simply hungry and thirst not for
reputation, but for character, just
content to be right, no matter at;
what cost; men who feel the deep dis
grace of being willing to seem to be
something more or better than they
are taking the pains to become; men
who feel the repulsive vulgarity OF
wanting something that another mani
ought to have.-Dean Bosworth.
