American Family Alone Used Thern IN
GuayaquiI, Ecuador.
Oval wooden dishes such as are used
In the United States for putting up
small quantities of butter and lard are
not to be had in Ecuador. Consul Gen.
eral Herman r. Dietrich of Guayaquil
has so reported. For such purposes
the merchants use cornhusk, which is
much cheaper than the wooden dishes.
All families in moderate circumstances
buy lard from the merchants in small
wooden kegs holding about forty
pounds. Butter is purchased in the
original tin cans received by the i'm
porters.
Wooden ~clothespins are a rarity in
this district, their use being limited to
one American family. Washing is done
by the poor working women or by
household servants, who hang the
clothes up in the courtyard Of the house
where the wind cannot blow them off
the line. If 1t is necessary to fasten
them a few pins are employed.

In the Omitted States alone during the
last ten years wa 10000, men sacri-
hcsd that the world might have fuel.
The hundreds Of thousands Of toilers
employed in coal mines are fully aware
Of the dangers that face them from the
moment they enter the shaft until they
are out Of It and again In Gods pure
air and sunshine. Their calm philoso-

poisonous gases or q combination of
both ever msnaces them, and electric
sparks and the lamps attached to their
hats are the chief causes of accidents.
Entombed In the bowels Of the earth
these venturesome workers may have
liberty within their grasp when death
dealing gases spread by an explosion
reach and overpower them. Again,
they may be pursued to their end by
onrushfng sheets of fame. A more
terrible fate than to perish in a blaz-
ing mine cannot be conceived. And
yet these are the risks the miner takes,
and only when the world Ii appalled,
by news Of a great disaster does it
stop to think Of them.
BUREAU OF MINES
The bureau of mines, a branch Of the
interior department at Washington,
was established to teach preventive
measures to miners and mine owners.
A number Of mine rescue cars are be-
ing constantly SEN out to important
coal fields by the bureau. Each a
has a mining engineer, who conducts
investigations Of the conditions found
at the objective point and gives to the
miners in each camp visited illustrated
lectures ON the methods Of preventing
accidents. In case of a disaster in a
coal field the most available rescue car
ID Immediately rushed to the scene, and
the engineer and his assistants help in
the rescue Of victims and in the devel-
opment Of more efficient rescue work.
The uses Of the oxygen helmet and the
oxygen reviving apparatus are explain
ed, as also Il first aid to the injured.
As a rule, when the miner is danger
ously wounded he Is far within the
mine. He may be crushed by a fall Of
