AMBER AS A MEDICINE.

The ancients employed amber as 4 medicine,
and 1t is still prescribed by physicians in France,
Germany and Italy Several chemists in Paris
keep it constantly in stock. It has been worn by
ladies and children from time irlmemorial as an
amulet, sometimes carved into "amphorae," and
has been pronounced Of service, either taken in
ternally or worn around tbe neck Callistratus
gave the name Of chrysel9ktron to amber Of
clear golden color, which. worn around the neck
cured ague ground up with honey and rose oil
It was a specific for deafness and with Attic
honey for dimness OF sight But to come to more
recent times Persra says in the third edition Of
his "Materia Medica," published in 1853, that am
Der was not even chen employed as a medicine in
this country, but that 1T was formerly used in
chronic catarrhs, amennorhoea, hysteria, etc. and
was given either in the form Of powder, In
doses of ten grains to drachm, or in that Of
tincture, formula for both of which is contained
in some Of the European formularies.- Family

HuMoR OF BAD WRITING.

Sheridans writing was a scandal to his school
and puzzled the town. He once wrote a pass
to Drury Lane, and the doorkeeper stopped its
bearer and Immediately pronounced it to be a
forgery, because he could decipher It'll To
make matters worse, Sheridan was also uncertain
in his spelling. A which" a where" and a
whether in his hands, for instance, were as
often as not deprived Of their "aiches" and a
thing" was to him always think" and nothing
more
The atrocious writing of celebrities recalls the
claim once made on behalf Of Baron Bramwell
that he wrote three hands, "0ne which he alone
could read, another which his clerk could read
and he couldn't, and third which nobody could
read" and the lastnamed was his usual style
Lord Curzon, when a young man at college,
once found his bad handwriting stand him in
good stead. Writing two letters one to rela-
tive, the other to chum, he encloses them in
the wrong envelopes. 1t CHANGED that in the sec
ond letter he had made some uncomplimentary
reference to his relative, and on discovering the
mistake he had made he awaited developments
with anxiety. There presently came letter from
the uncle 4 have tried to decipher your eplstle,

cannot make head or tail of 1t. However guess

life. The late Lord Goschen once said that his
father attributed the foundations Of his fortune to
the fact that he was abliged to found firm be-
cause he wrote such bad hand that no one
would take him for a clerk. OF Goschen himself,
Mr. Arthur Elliot records that "liis handwriting
got steadily worse and in his latter years he
might have spelt as he chose. At length his
script became undecipherable, even by himself
He could not when speaking In parliament, make
out what It was that he had put on paper, and
he thus came in later days to abandon almost en-
tirey his old practice Of making notes"
Professor Blackie had a peculiar fist" An
elderly compostor on the Scotsman, however,
knew nearly all about the professor. One night
there was a particularly difficult manuscript from
the professor, 1t was put before the expert, with
an inquiry as to whether not he could set it.
Il could not do that said the veteran from
Inverary; "but If I'd ma pipes here could play

New Castle. Colo. Dec. 17.-All but
been removed from the Vulcan mine
near here early today where every
person in the main workings of the
mine was killed instantly Tuesday by
an explosion of mine gas.
Nine bodies remain in the upper lift
above the west entry and in this man
ner all the bodies were accounted for.
One of the rescuers, overcome with
fatigue which followed prolonged use
of the oxygen helmet, fell in chamber
23 west. but was taken out alive by his
fellow crewmen who were following
close behind in the exploration work
They carried him to the air shaft
where he was quickly revived and
taken to the surface.
Scores of relatives and friends of
the victims stood in the snow at the
entrance watching the rescuers carry
out the bodies. one at time.
The scene was unlike that of most
mine disasters. in that there was not
the slightest hope that any of those
caught in the terrific blast had sur.
vived. The chief desire of those who
waited was that their loved ones
might be recognizable. In majority
of instances, even this hope met dis.
appointment.
Virtually every one of the dead min
ers was born in Colorado.
All were Americans and many of the
unmarried were sons of ranchers and
had lived In the vicinity of New Cas-
tie all their lives.
Sixteen of the men were married
In casting up the situation 1t was
found that fifteen women were left
widows and thirty-four children made
fatherless by the explosion. One of the
victims became father at almost the
identical moment that. he was hurled
to his death by the blast This one
was Herbert Woods, twenty-eight
years old
The exact cause of the explosion is
not known definitely but 1t is the opin.
ion Of the niue officials that the ac.
cumulated gas was set off by a min.
er's candle.
They went to work in the mine
after the union workers had struck.
The Vulcan mine. now owned by the
Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, has
always been known to be dangerous
on account OF the great quantity of gas
that forms In its workings. The men
employed there knew OF this danger
The two men in the upper level who
. escaped injury were w. ]. Finley and
John Dawson. An air passage in their
part OF the mine prevented the gas
from forming there
Since 1896, when forty-nine men
were killed in an accident much sim
liar to that of yesterday. the Vulcan
has been the dread of all workers in
the coal region.
