The money trust investigation Is to
go to certain committees of the house,
instead Of special committee, and
some people think this is q defeat for
democratic democrats, for Bryan and
his friends. The fact is that Under
WOOD did not want any investigation
at all, but that was farther than the
crowd that follow him dared to 20,
and he found it impossible to hold
them on such proposition. The plan

Congressman Hammond is said to be
opposed to the 'phossy jaw bill,
which is the bill to place the prohibit
tive internal revenue tax on matches
made with the deadly phosphorus, and
thus tax the material out of use.
Workers in the match factories where
phosphorus is used are subject to q
trlghttul disease known as "phossy
jaw There is 6 substitute, which
costs little more. The leading ma
tious of Europe prohibit tho use of
poison phosphorus and. the United
States IS way behind. We hope ttat

The st. Cloud Times is still "kindly
'inquiring as to the Herald's choice
for the presidency. It is unfortunate.
perhaps but the only paper that does
not seem to Know is the Times. The
Times says it is for Wilson, but that
doesn't mean anything in particular
unless one knows what sort of Wilson
men the lines wants for delegates. A
Wilson man who Is willing
that Wall street shall name his secone,
choice ought not to have the support
of the Sixth district democracy. We
have not learned so far that the Times
has any scruples of that kind.

It Is necessary when sewing on the lap
to bend forward, but the bending
should be done from the hips. The back

bending only at the hips, and you will

Correct sewing is really governed by
few simple rules, which If followed
out make the plying Of the needle and
thread an exercise which deepens the
chest, Improves the carriage, strength
ems the back and shoulders, clears the
complexion and brightens the eyes.
In the first place, the sewing room
should be well ventilated. The air in
It should be as fresh and pure as the
air out of doors. Three operations go
on in the sewing room-viz, cutting,
the seamstress standing at the table;
stitching, seated at machine; sewing,
with the material in the lap. In cut
ting the manner in which the seam
stress bends over the table is every
thing.
The following exercise taken two or
three times day is a wonderful help
toward correct bending at the work
table-that is, bending without con-
stricting the chest or abdomen: Stand
perfectly erect, with the heels together,
the chin and abdomen in, the chest out,
the back straight. Slowly filing the
lungs with air, raise the arms, held
stiff, from the sides outward until the
hands meet over the head, and at the
time the hands meet the lungs should
be filled to their fullest extent with air.
Slowly exhaling the air, lower the
arms to the sides again.

Premature Explosion D Occurs D lis Near
Fort Francis, 0nt. q =.
SOME MISSING AND INJURED
Accident Happens on an Island in
Rainy; Lake Where Big Bridge .
y. Is Under Construction.

Fort Francis, Ont, Feb. 1o.-Thir.
teen men are dead and five seriously
injured as the result of q premature
explosion of a charge Of dynamite at
tho construction works of the John
son-Cary camps on an island on Rainy
lake, eight miles east of here, where
the st. Paul firm of contrac' As is con.
structing three-mile bridge across
the north arm of Rainy lake, making
heavy rock fills on the islands between
the bridge spans.
Twelve men were killed outright
and six seriously injured. One of the
injured has since died. There are
still some of the men unaccounted for,
30 that the death list may be still fur
Their augmented before the search now
being prosecuted is finished.
The cause of the explosion was the
premature discharge of one of the
holes charged with dynamite. The
gang Of men, under Foreman Thomas
Casey of Lebanon, Pa, had sunk sixty
four holes, at uniform depth of fifty
two feet and one of the charges in the
holes, it is said, was not properly
placed and it was while this charge
was being taken out that it was set
OIL, the conclusion Immediately caus-
Ing the other sixty-three charges to
explode. The men were hurled into
the air along with tons of flying rock
and debris.
So great was the explosion that
large pieces of rock, the size of a
small house, were upheaved, while
the foreman, who had been standing
over one of the holes, was blown into
the air $50 feet, the body landing
over near the Canadian Northern main
line, with both legs blown off and the
body frightfully disfigured.

GOOD FORM.

How to Write Letter Recommending
Servant.
The utmost Formally should be OBJ
served when writing references for
servants, because the employers are
judged by the writing quite as much
IS the woman who is the subject of
the communication As a natter Of
tact, 4 reference as much as 4 social
letter IS based On the Old principle that
the breeding Of WOMAN is always in
dicated by her notes
As 4 servants written reference is
likely to go into the hands Of persons
who are total strangers to the writer
1t is best to employ the third person
In the note Thus it Is made not TN
Ike 4 circular and wholly fmperxonaa
as far Is the recipients are concerned
The communication should always be
gin with the name Of the former en-
ployer.
For example, woman who is dis
missing maid may write:
Mrs John Smith can recommend highly
the bearer, Nellie Joyce, as cook or gen.
eral housekeeper. She is Industrious.
cheerful. interested in her work and reli-
able. She is entirely honest
Mrs. Smith Is discharg1ng Nellie only be-
cause she Is leaving town for the summer
and Nellie does not wish to 90 to the
country.
Care should be taken to put into the
reference the reason Of a maids leav-
ing, for it is the first question asked
Of the woman when she Is seeking a
new place. Another important point in
the communication Is that the servants
honesty should be vouched for If the
former employer believes in it. If she
does not consider the woman above
suspicion in this particular it is IN
fair to future employers to assert that
she is to be trusted. .>.-
Il is also wise to include in the writ
ten character the fact that the woman
Il a good worker If she has 20 proved

For her own protection a person
