AZ TO UNIFORM NINE SAFETY
PRACTICE.

A. che result OF conference
which was held under the auspices
OF the United States bureau OF mines
last september. between mon who
are Interested In the saving OF the
lives OF miners. there has been form
ed a society known az the Ameri-
can Mine Safety association, with
headquarters at Pittsburg. Pa. This
association. which "A now enrolling
among It's members the coal and
metal mine operators. mining engl.
neers and miRo safety engineers OF
the country. has for It's purpose the
conservation OF the lives aud health
OF the miner and reduction in
property loss due To explosions or
fires In mines. II will attempt 20
place before the miners standard
methods to be used IN rescue work
and In first aid 10 the injured.
The work OF the bureau OF mines
IN reducing the number OF deaths
In the mines has led 20 the adoption
OF many different types OF rescue
apparatus, such as the oxygen he'll
NETS witch the reseuers wear in a
gas filled mine, and also 10 the use
OF many different methods of re-
Susci'ation and first aid 70 the in
Jured' Hundreds OF mines within
the last three or four years have
been equipped with rescue appara-
tus' rescue corps and first aid corps.
Many Of these men who are called
upon In emergencies have developed
their own ways of doing things, and
IL Is the opinion OF the organizers
OF this association that the most ef-
iicient methods and best apparatus
should be found through actual use
and recommended to the mining in
dustry as a general standard.

ity. who was entertained by the Har-
row association recently, told an in.
teresting story of Palmerston. He re.
membered, he said, one speech day
when Palmerston went. L rained the
whole day. Palmerston galloped
down from the Cambridge house. He
came and sat for two hours in his
wet clothes listening to the speeches.
He went out at the end not a bit
abashed in spirit, and stood with the
governors and number of the boys,
and began to speak.

and told it was Mr. Butler. Il beg
pardon" he said, "Mr. Butler. No
man should be doctosed against his

fact that sometimes logic was over

PRETTY SET OF DOLLY CASES
White Linen Instead of Cretonne Made
Up Satisfactorily in Gift
for Bride.

A very pretty set of dolly cases was
covered with white linen, instead of
cretonne. The set, which was intend
ed for a bride, was made very indi-
vidual by a three-initial monogram, en-
broidered in raised satin stitch. The
monogram was placed one and one-half
inches from the edge, the letters being
placed so as to conform to the cir
cular edge. A white cord was top
sewed around the edge Of the circles.
making very neat and unusual finish.
The ribbon used to tie the two cir
cles together was also white.
The lettering had, of course. been
done before the cases were made. Cir
cles of cardboard two inches more in
diameter than the doilies they were
intended to protect were covered with
white linen. The linen covering was
cut one-half inch more all around than
the cardboard, so it could be stretched
oyer the cardboard and held in place
by long stitches taken from side to

IMPORTS ITS PAVING STONES
Peculiar Condition of Affairs Existing
in Brazil Is Due to Savage
Indians.

Street paving in the towns Of the
Brazilian seaboard and Of the Anna
zon river region is not the simple
matter it becomes in this country.
Because OF the lack of accessible quar-
ries from which paving material might
be obtained, it is necessary to import
cobblestones from Portugal for this
purpose Stone quarries in the lower
Amazon basin are non-existent, and
the headwaters of this great river,
where it would doubtless be possible
to locate quarries-are not only prac-
tically unexplored, but are also guard
ed by many tribes of hostile Indians
No one has yet been found who
will brave these dangers for the sake
of the despised cobblestone. Asphalt
or crude oil is unsuitable for paving
the thoroughfare of tropical cities be-
cause of the intense heat. The city
of Para, situated near the mouth Of
the Amazon, Is the largest user Of
Portuguese paving stones. This me-

EXCELLENT TABLEAU FOR THE
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.
"Mistletoe Bough" May Be Employed,
and IT Participants Are Clever
Splendid Entertainment-W viii
Be Assured.

We are enjoying a much deserved
revival of charades and tableaux and
soon, I trust, the regular Christmas
pantomime of Dickens time will be
ours, as well as our cousins across
the water, Nothing is prettier for this
season than the poem of Thomas
Haynes Bayly called the "Mistletoe
Bough." It may be read aloud to go
with the tableaux, which may be ar
ranged to be given for an admission
fee or just for fun. A stage is re-
quired with the usual decorations OF
holly and Christmas greens and Is
supposed to represent the banquet
hall forming the setting for the first
act.
The baron's retainers were blithe and
gay,
And keeping their Christmas holiday.
A minuet is danced to music, the
bride, in wedding dress and veil. and
the bridegroom being the principal
figures.
1.-THE second scene presents the
same setting as the first. The bride,
leaving the assembly, runs away.
Il en- weary of dancing now" she
cried;
Here tarry a moment-Tll hide
I'll hide"
III.-A brief scene follows, not
given in the poem, but necessary to
fill out its story. There Is dark
ened attic. full Of old boxes, furniture,
spinning wheels, and the like; in the
middle large chest. The bride
comes softly in with a lighted candle
in her hand. She tries various hid
ing places and finally opens the chest,
| steps slowly in, blows out the candle
and gradually lets down the lid upon
her SELF
IV.-The fourth scene Is the ban
quet hall as before. While the music,
which continues throughout the whole
production, plays quietly, the guests
pass in and out, consulting in pan
tomime and expressing their inabil
ity to find the missing bride.
YIN the next act the bridegroom
appears as an old man, surrounded
/ with children who watch him and
seem to say in the words of the
poem,
See! the old man weeps for his fairy
bride.
W.-The last act shows the attic
again. A group of young people, II
comparatively modern dress, are
searching through the attic, pulling
out old-fashioned bonnets and hats
old gowns and books, and laughing al
their quaint appearance. One of the
young men finally raises the lid O.
the chest, and while the others star
in terror he lifts out skull, its line.
partially concealed by the ragged
remnants of lace wedding veil.

when some further and more strin-
gent measure will be needed to keep
the French army somewhere near
the German in numbers. For it Is
mathematically certain that a coun.
try with a small and stationary popu-
| lation cannot keep up with one with a
far larger and rapidly growing popu.
lation without resorting to extraor
binary means.
The radical trouble In France is
the low 1birth rate and consequently
stationary population. Unless that
trouble is remedied it is certain that
in few years further extension OF
the term of service will be needed to
keep the army up to the required size,
and that process will have to be re-
peated at intervals until exhaustion
sets limit. 1t will not take many
repetitions to impose upon France a
burden that cannot be borne. A few
more such victories by her war Office
and she will be undone.

They fairly jumped at him then.

mob and demanded how he dared to
turn them out, and what did he mean
by saying they we're oyerfed, and they
would leave when they were good and
ready and not before, and he could go
to blazes. It was the most scandalous
thing I've ever known of at Hope

for chance to speak. And when the
time came he jumped in and told them
the truth about themselves, and most
of it hurt He was good and mad, and
