SIXTY ENTOMBED.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, March q
Two mine workers were killed, another
IS missing and about twelve were badly
burned by an explosion of gas today in
No. Il colliery of the Erie Coal COM
pany at Port Blanchard, Pa, near here.
Fire followed the explosion and sixty
miners were entombed back of the fire
for several hours. All, however, were
gotten out alive. They made their way
to the surface through an old working.
Some of them were overcome by black
damp, but these were carried along by
their fellow workmen. There was great
rejoicing at the colliery when it became
known that the entOmbed men had
reached the surface
The fire in the underground working is
IT'LL burning, but it is thought to be I'M
der control. The two men who lost their
lives were foreigners.
Always were constructed to get air to
the imprisoned men. 1t is said the eX-
plosion was caused by one of the work
men entering an abandoned portion of
the mine with lamp, thus igniting a
body of gas.

A BIRD FAMILY,s HIGH VALUE.
In the Number of Insects Destroyed thu
Little Creatures Earn Money.


A county farmer with a taste for sta
tstics has made a calculation OF the val
ue of the forest bird to the farmer and
gardener.
He computes, says the ST. Louis
Globe Democrat, that on the average
each bird nest contains about five t1edg-
ings and that during the period of four
to six weeks when the young birds are
fed by their parents each nesting con-
sumes about fifty worms, flies or other
insects every day. Now, suppose that
the consumption last month. During
that time one brood will eat about 1900
insects. Suppose that each insect de-
stroys during its natural life only one
apple, pear, peach or plum; the farmers
will save 1900 individual fruits by the
labOrs of one pair of parent birds. IhlS
estimate he considers very moderate, for
there are some insects, each one OF
which does a great deal more damage
than he estimates.
One small fly, for example, causes the
florists great loss every year by piercing
the young buds of the chrysanthemum.
and thus causing the flowers to become
deformed and worthless One OF these
flies has been known to bore into sixty
chrysanthemum buds in a single day,
and thus cause the florist loss OF go
or $50. By protecting the bird nests
and eggs the ravages of insects would
not indeed be stopped, but they might
be lessened in such a degree as would
greatly increase the income Of the farm
er and gardener, for, as insect destroy
ers, a robin or jay is superior to the best
spraying machine ever invented, and,
What is more to the purpose, they work
without pay, begin before sun up and
keen on until dark.

BICYCLING IN AFRICA.
Jungle Has Smooth Paths on Which a
Seven Mile Speed Is Possible.

If President Roosevelt should happen
to read an article by Winston Churchill
(the British one) in the Strand he will
be for laying out a cinder track on the
White Lot buying a wheel and begin
.uing to train.
According to Mr.. Churchill, "the best
of all methods of progression in Central
Africa-h0wever astonishing it may
SCENTS the bicycle. In the dry season
the paths through the bush, smoothed by
the feet of the natives, afford an excel
lent surface.
Even when the track is only 2 feet
wide and when the densest jungle rises
on either side and almost meets above
the head, the bicycle skins along, swish
ing through the grass and brushing the
eucroaching bushes at a fine pace AL
though at every few hundred yards
sharp rocks, loose stones, a water course,
or a steep hill compel dismounting, a
good seven miles an hour can usually
be maintained.
"And think what this means. From
my own experience l should suppose
that with bicycle twenty-five to thirty
miles a day could regularly be covered
in Uganda, and if only the pOrters could
keep up, all journeys could be nearly
trebIed and every white officers radius
of action proportionately increased.
Nearly all the British officers l met al
ready possessed and used bicycles, and
even native chiefs are beginning to ac-
1uire them"

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

Tt doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The hus-
band writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepleSs, nervous,
sallow, weak, and irritable. My wife
and I both loved coffee and thought it
was a bracer" (delusion).
FINALLY, after years Of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness Of
coffee, and believing that to grow we
should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked it
and were relieved of Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, sturdier nerves, better
temper, etc
These changes were not sudden, but
relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on pkg,
until 1t was dark and rich, they liked
it better than coffee and were benefited
by the change" There's a Reason"

was no other candidate in the field and
the members of the board insisted that
he take charge Of the office for at least
another year. Mr.. True's request that
he be given assistance in his live stock

quest will be granted
This afternoon the board considered

signed to give the board large sums of
money with which to put up several new

READ THE LABEL.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingredients
of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the Importance
to health and good baking of using a
pure cream of tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and make
sure that the ingredients mentioned in
clude cream of tartar.
The food law does not force consumers;
it merely helps them to protect them
selves. All good housekeepers want
cream of tartar baking powders, and will
not use alum substitutes in the food, if
they know it. AS the ingredients are
printed on the back of the label, all may
know the facts.
Good baking powder is one Of the most
useful things in the kitchen: it is easily
obtained at any store; the better it is,
the more enconomical it is in cooking
materials, and the more it conserves the
health of the family.
