lightlng 1t, and finding a secure
place for it in a mitch in the wall
causes loss of at least three min
utes. The average miner gets from
ute pay. In lost time that candle
mas cost2 Ia cents or nearly as much
as two whole candles cost. How
many times a shift does a miner
drop his candle, and how often does
tne exhaust from machine drills, or a
leaking hose, or pipe line put out
the light?
If the mine is wet, the miner has
dripping clothes and wet matches.
and may have to go to the surface
to relight. Feeling ones way out of
a mine is slow work. and any miner
would rather work and feel that he
is accomplishing something, than to
be butting his brains out on wall
rock, stumbling over car tracks, or
climbing ladders in the dark. 1t is
safe to figure 2 1-2 hours out of every
eight-hour shift as lost in fooling
with poor lights or being without
light; for even when the candles are
lit. they are stuck away in some
mitch in the wall that casts shadows,
and give very little light.
Dangers of poor light are many,
for hundreds of lives have been lost
by men walking into wines, missing
footholds on stulls and timbers, and
in other ways too numerous to men,
ton, that might have been saved if
the men had been able to see. The
safety of good lights alone justifies
their installation and use, to say
nothing of the 80 per cent increase
in efficiency they give. The men GO
ing to work, or the trammers in a
drift or cross-cut, will save the costs
of electric light throughout the drift.
They unconsciously walk faster and
easier through a well lighted tunnel
than they do when carrying a candle
through dark tunnel. A car off the
track in light tunnel or drift gives
the trammer chance to work around
the car getting it back. A reflector,
throwing a bright light against a
working face, gives the machine man
or mucker a chance to see his work
and take advantage of things that
poor light hides.
Talking Of electric lights under
ground causes many mine manager
to throw up his hands in horror, and
say, 1T will shock the men," 1T is
dangerous" yet that same man, if
he wanted to run an electric pump,
or a blower fan. would wire 220 volts
or 440 volts into the mine and think
nothing of it. For lights the voltage
can be cut down to six or eight or
ten volts by transformers, or even
used from storage batteries or dry
cells that would shock no one.
One element of safety is lacking
in electric lights---for it will not warn
the miner when the air becomes foul,
but nothing prevents the miner from
keeping one candle burning for
warning if he wants to. Every 9th
er element of safety and efficiency is
in favor of electric lights. Why ig-
more a thousand points of safety, and
80 per cent increase of efficiency, to
maintain one element of safety,
which could be maintained any way,
with a single candle as warning
light if the air becomes bad ?"

The old-fashioned woman, when her
husband ill-treated her, told her trou-
bles to the Lord. The more modern
woman tells them to a lawyer.
When a woman has q poor figure. the
other women will do this much: They
will admit it is natural.
Every woman who does all her own
work knows what it means to exceed
the speed limit.
Give woman a rocking chair and
a handkerchief and she is prepared to
weep with the whole world.
When a woman talks beautifully Of
her faith in her husband it is a pretty
good sign she has never been called
upon to use it.
Occasionally a woman looks at her
husband and wonders if she wouldn't
have been happier if she had remained
single. Then she remembers the chill
dren, and decides that she wouldn't.
When a woman has more babies with
her on the street than she can well
manage, she usually also has a feather
on her hat which the wind has blown
out of place.
1t takes a strong woman to say that
praises the cake.
After a woman has been married a
respect for the men than good cook
has for a hotel dinner.
Women just naturally like to linger
around the lOve-making parts of Il
novel and pictures of a man holding
woman in his arms.
A religious woman's idea Of being
broad is to speak well of some church
not her own.
4 woman ought to be pretty to con-
sole her for being a woman at all.
An intimate acquaintance with a
woman always develops that her
woman friends are not as perfect -

them to dinner or to get out Of bed.

Train Accidents.

In open country the train had made fair

third class freight on an American noun

lations which had made the roads fame
lay in wait.
Twice did the train break i'm two, to be
mended with ropes
Thrice the engine bolted the track and

prayers and work Of passengers and crew.
While graduating in train wrecking,

one may be. on occasions, in such d liquid
tongue as Spanish: also he scraped ac-
quaintance with various insect pests.
Through the muggy tropical night, lit
only by the amethyst incandescence of
myriad lantern flies, the cars racked along
their wheels groaning curses at the ex-
ecrable roadbed.
Sleep was out Of the question, save
when the engine went into the ditch. and

Hints or the
Household

One Of the best and simplest methods
Of ventilating a bed room is that of
procuring a piece Of wood 4 inches in
depth and of the same breadth as the
window, and inserting this along the
bottom Of the frame after raising the
lower sash. The window should then
be lowered onto the strip of wood, fresh
air entering the room in the center be-
tween the two sashes
The longer candles are kept the bet
ter they are. Discoloration can be in
stantly removed by wiping with piece
Of flannel dipped in spirits Of wine. A
pinch OF fine salt in the cup OF wax
round the wick makes tho candle last
longer and burn much better. Another
good tip is to varnish the candles with
white varnish. Don't use them for quite
ten days after this.
Often when one has purchased a pair
Of boots one doesn't know till they are
home that they creak. However, the
disagreeable noise may be stopped by
taking them back to the shoemaker and
asking him to spring them on each side
and insert between the soles q tea
spoonful of French chalk. This process
costs only a trifie and answers admira-
bly,
If tumblers become fixed tap gently
round with another tumbler and, like
magic, they viii come apart. II a glass
stopper is fixed, tap round It with an
other and it will be loosened. You will
always have the same result The rule
is, tap each article with another of a
similar kind.
Collars OF coats often become dirty
before the coat Is worn out. A good
remedy is to rub the soiled part with a
little paraffin oil on a soft cloth, and
then hang in the air for an hour to
take away any unpleasant smell.
