4 WORD FOR THE MINER.

Every force that binders the ripening OF good
American citizenship may be found at work In
the mining regions of Pennsylvania. In the
villages Of these districts live the vast majority
of men and boys who feed the furnaces and
crucibles Of the country. In these villages life
is not only primitive. but rough. and the bizarre
ntermingling of twenty lationalities has thus
far almost totally prevented the development or
IL healthy communal spirit. The two institutions
best succeeding in bringing the workingmen to-
gether are the labor union and the saloon. In
spite of the efforts Of religious and philanthropic
organizations, the majority Of Pennsylvania
mining villages are still without true social life.
And that signifies without the means of training
young men in citizenship.
1t is not fair to Censure the villagers for all
this neglect of their youths Unlike the average
and normal American community. the mining
town is made up Of three widely separated
ClasSes-the rank ana file OF laborers, foreign,
poor and ignorant ms a rule small number
of fairly we'll To do operators and office men.
and finally strong though small, clique of
gamblers. saloOnkeepers and crooks. Town sen
timent and local pride cannot thrive so long as
the two former classes are not in active ear
nest sympathy with each other. In the absence
or cooperation between employers and EN-
plOyes. the third class will continue TO educate
young men according to its own fatal tastes.
The villagers are tGo poor to suppress unaided
the vice about them and usually too ignorant
and divided among themselves by tongue,
ligiOn and prejudice 10 agree the proper
course of action. Material aid and friendly adj
vice from employers must be secured, If the
children of miners are to have fair chance OF
becoming worthy citizens
1t is reasonable to suppose that the begin
uings of civic education and It's necessary
compartment moral education, can best be
made through institutions like the Young Mems
Christian Association. which have already
proved their efficiency and built up a wide
reaching organization. Employers OF the men
living in mining villages owe II to themselves
and 10 the general public to annex Pennsylvania
10 the United States by making It's hundreds Of
thousands of laborers true compatriots OF the
men who have built and governed the grand
old villages Of New England and their copies
elsewhere. If the same spirit shown by the
Pennsylvania Railroad In helping It's employees
To establish Young Mems Christian Association
branches is displayed by the hundreds Of coal
operators IN the anthracite region, Pennsylvania
mining towns might cease 10 be nurseries OF
ignorance and disorder. Let the we'll TO do
mine owners prove by their acts that they are
not sefshly interested In keeping the Croatian
Croatian and In letting his sons fall easy prey
TO the saloon and the dive.

ties for attitudinizing In the press were as great
elsewhere as here and IT, under these circum-
stances, the judges elsewhere held counsel within
proper bounds it would be evidence that the
faults in this county were with the judges and
not with the system. As 1t is, we believe that
the rules of evidence too full of technicalties
and that they keep Judges sitting constantly un-
der the shadow of a reversal and that they
enable counsel to dispOrt themselves very much
as they please. The trial judges have too little
final authority, and therefore counsel are free
TO swagger and strut and waste time with eyhi-
billions OF their elOquence, their subtlety and
their skill in cross examination, and justice be-
comes mere by-prOduct of hlstriOnic display.

How these English do rave over the supposed
achievements of their countrymen. in total OBJ
liviousness to progress made elsewhere! London
is shouting these days over the announcement
that Sir William Ramsay has succeeded In max
ing copper artihcially-"by the combination
process" according TO reports. All this hula
baloo Is going just if the art of making
artificial copper by combinations had not long
since been discovered and practised by eminent
money artists in Boston and New York financial
la bOratories! Here In America. too, the "disin-
tegration process has been used.

Bathing in the Dead Sea.

From the Detroit Free Press.
NO sooner has one plunged into the
water than one is whipped off ones feet
and goes bobbiAg Eelplessly about like n
wretched cork says the Rev. Haskell
Smith of bathing in the Dead sea. In the
effort to regain ones footing and to get
back to shore, ones feet and shins are
barked by the jagged stones and pebbles,
and when at length one does emerge from
its treacherous bosom, with the lower
limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes aware
of a horrible tingln2 and burning sensation
in eyes, ears, nostr Is. mouth and almost
every pore of the skin, from the brine and
bitumen which have penetrated every
where.
Unless great care is taken the bather
in the Dead sea Is liable to eruption.
which breaks out all over his body and
which is commonly known the Dead
sea rash The best antidote to this is to
hurry across as quickly as possible to the
River Jordan and take second plunge
therein. The soft ana muddy waters Of
that sacred but dirty stream will cffectually
remove the salt that has inCrCsted the
body
