A LITTLE NONSENSE.
POOR OH DAD.

The others get jewels and paintings and
clocks,
But father gets nothing save collars OF
socks
They know that he needs them, so give
him a lift,
and buy him each Christmas a practical
gift.
And father accepts IL; he knows it is best.
Although he loves beauty as well as the
rest
But sometimes he wishes they'd think
less of thrift,
And not always buy him a practical gift.

men are killed. proportionately to the
number employed, here as abroad. The
report of the Geological Survey attributes
this TO differences in legislation and
in the extent and efficacy of govern
mental action for the promotion OF
safety in mining. Our mining regua-
tions are lax and unenforceable, our
miners ignorant OF the nature OF ex-
plosves and of the conditions under
which they may be safely used, and the
number of deep miues with poor ventila-
ton and consequent accumulation OF
dangerous gases is increasing. To what
degree legislation may be depended on
to lessen the danger to human life now
involved in coal mining is an important
question. and there is bound to be strong
demand that our governments do what
they can TO minimize the elements Of
risk in what must always be a hazardous
occupation. Something has been done TO
reduce the number of railroad accidents,
and more ought to be done; something
may also be accomplished in protecting
the miner.
But after all Is done, there remains
COulIlbullLB causes 10 the ihdNSbilel4
slaughter that legislation may not wholly
eliminate. We refer to the money mad
ness and speed mania of the American
people. Thousands OF men are undOubted-
ly sacrificed yearly to hasty fortune-mak-
ing, that takes no account Of the means
by which ends are attained; 10 the de-
mand for dividends At the expense of
sa fetv of plant and roadbed. to the popu-
lar clamor for rapid transit and exces-
sive rates of speed on transportation
lines. We shall have to learn that human
life is of more consequence than millions
or rapIditY of locomotion.
