Explosion in a Coal Mine.

One morning wheE the pit men were
at work in a coal mine, they heard a
noise louder than thunder.
In a moment every lamp was out
and every man and boy threw down
his tools and ran.
The men reached the bottom of the
shaft and counted their number. Five
were missing, four men and one boy
People above heard the rush and
noise at the pits mouth. The work
men were taken out. The wives and
mothers of those who were left behind
were crying. Brave men went back.
They lit their lamps and reached the
crush. They shouted, but there was
no answer.
The men worked hard to free their
comrades. Men came from all quarters
to help.
After a little while the men heard
a. voice near. They went in the di-
rection where they heard it and soon
reached the men who had not been
hurt much.
When they came to the top all the
people shouted for JOY.

POETRY.
Paths.

From topmost branches where swing,
Upon a lazy summer day,
/ love to watch the swallows wing
Their zig-zag, happy, tireless way,
And plan an aeroplane to follow
The slxyward pathway of the swallow.
Last spring used to sit in school,
While down the pages of my book
Ran paths to distant salmon pool,
Or down beside the old trout brook;
And all these joyous Paths of Wishing
Are most as good as really fishing.
Another path that calls to me.
In hazy. nut-time, autumn days,
Leads down to yonder chestnut tree,
Through many leafy winding ways,
On Saturdays we boys all rally
And tread this path to Happy Valley.
Sometimes when sailing on the lake
In uncle's boat, l sit astern
And watch our narrow foaming wake.
When DER it poises graceful tern,
While sunsets rosy ray soft tarries,
I've found the pathway of the Fairies!
But not through woods, or sky, or sea,
Or meadows green, the best paths go.
The one that brings most joy to me
l dig. myself through drifts of snow.
Then come with me; to fret is folly,
When here's a path to all things jolly.

The Loss of the Rirkenhead.

The Rirkenhead which was a large
troop ship with six hundred and thir-
ty passengers on board was sailing off
the coast of Africa. on clear night
in February
AS the captain was anxious to
shorten the voyage, he kept as near
to the shore as he could.
Off Cape Danger the vessel was
steaming at the rate of nine miles an
hour. Suddenly she struck upon a
sunlen rock with such force that she
was a wreck in a few minutes.
The roll of the drum then sounded
which called the soldiers to arms on
the upper deck.
The call was obeyed though the
soldiers knew it meant death.
There the soldiers stood. No man
showed restlessness or fear, although
the ship was sinking fast.
Their commander, Colonel Seton,
told the soldiers that there were only
enough boats to carry the women and
children to shore and that these must
be saved first. No man made any
objection.
orders were given and obeyedrr
promptly. The boats were got ready
and lowered Everything was done
quickly for there was no time to waste.
The women and children and old men
were helped into the boats, and made
for the shore. This was done again
and again until all the women and
children were saved
There were no boats for the troops
and the boat as sinking so fast that
the boats could not return in time to
save them.
In half an hour after the Birkenhead
struck the rock it went to the bot
tom with the soldiers and officers.

Mimicry in Moths,

I was much surprised one day to
see a large insect come from above the
olive trees overhead, with the wild
dashing flight of the large moths At
tracted, apparently, by the sheltered
and sunny recess in which I was sit
ting, and by the scarlet geraniums
which were in full flower. the moth
darted downward and after a little
lowering settled suddenly on the bare
ground underneath a geranium plant
I then saw that it was a very hand
some species, with an elaborate pat
tern of light and dark browns But the
margins of the wings had a lustrous
yellow color, like g. brilliant CLEAN of
light
After resting for a few seconds. ap-
parently enjoying the sunshine, it
seemed to notice some movement
which gave it alarm. 1t then turned
slightly round, gave a violent jerk to
its wings, and instantly became in
visible
If it had subsidized into a hole in the
ground it could not have more COM
pletely disappeared.
AS my eyes were fixed upon the spot
I soon came to observe that all the
interstices among the little clods
around it were full of withered and
crumbled leaves of a deep blacklist
brown.
1 then further noticed that the spot
where the moth had sat was occupied
by one of these brown leaves, and it
flashed upon me in a moment that
I had before me one of the great mys-
teries of nature.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
New York City.

New York is located on the banks
of the Hudson river on Manhattan
Island Years ago it was only great
forests and fields. It was first settled
by the Dutch.
It is now the second largest city in
the world. 1t has more than five mill
lion people.
One-half of the United States trade
is carried on IN New York.
1t is a port for European commerce.
This is due to it's good harbor, where
the largest ships can anchor.
1t has many steamship and railroad
lines
Because of so much traffic in the
streets. bridges have been built over
the streets on which trains run. This
is called the elevated line.
There are also tunnels dug under the
city. These are called subways.
New York has the largest manufac-
turing establishments in the world
More newspapers are published here
than in any other city in the world
New York is a center for wholesale
trade. Many merchants go there to
purchase things for their stores.
Some buildings there are from
seven to nine hundred feet high. Some
of these are the Metropolitan, Eagle,
Woolworth and Equitable building.

The LADY, Betty,

'"The Lady Betty is a little curly
haired cocker spaniel, but we call her
Betty for short. She has beautiful
brown eyes which she uses with great
skill in finding her loved ones. Her
coat is as black as coal, but as soft as
silk.
She has a short tail, which Is usual
ly wagging, when begging for some
gum drops, which is dog language are
'kink am" She will lalso shake hands
or rather shake paws with her best
friends.
When running, she puts her feet
down like a bear, but she can run
as fast as any deer. She shows her
ability to do this best when running
to meet me.
She jumps up at me, asking for the
paper or some parcel which she car
ries home for me.
She is a very good watch dog and
can hear the faintest noise around the
house or yard. When she goes out
walking with me, she always wears
her pretty little collar on which her
name and address are engraved, so
that if she should stray away. one
would tell where and to whom she be-
longs. On her collar we often tie a
bow of red or blue ribbon. We all
think a great deal of the Lady Bet
ty and hope we shall never lose her.

Grover Cleveland and the Fawn.

Grover Cleveland was elected presi-
dent of the United States twice.
One summer he went to a hotel at a
place where therewas good hunting.
Lots of men who went hunting stopped
at the same hotel
One day some of these men were out
in a boat on the lake. A fawn in some
way had become separated from it's
mother and, being frightened, ran into
the lake.
The men started in pursuit after it.
They overlook the young fawn. The
poor animal struggled hard to get
away 1t succeeded in escaping, but
was again caught.
They took it to the hotel, ordered it
killed and cooked for supper. When
the ladies of the party saw it they
thought, as they looked at the poor
creatures pleading eyes:
why shouldn't it have its freedom? %
and they asked if they might let it go.
The men would not consent.
The ladies thought they would have
a judge decide whether the fawn
should die or live. The judge said:
at shall die!"
The ladies then were more determin-
ed to get its freedom. So Grover
Cleveland was asked to be judge. He
heard the arguments of both sides.
He said: THE fawn shall have its
freedom
The fawn looked up into Grover
Cleveland's eyes as if to say: THANK
you, kind sir, for saving my life and
he bounded away joyfully.

Birds She Has Seen.

Dear Uncle Jed: This afternoon, as
was looking at my garden, a beau
tiful Baltimore oriole flew by. 1t was

and had other black stripes on it.
Soon after I noticed the female oriole.
She was not one-half as pretty as the
male. Instead of being orange, her
feathers were a greenish yellow
I have seen quite a few birds this
year. The robins are very tame, and
come right near our door. One day
early in the morning I counted four
teen robins in the meadow by our
house. They were all busy getting
their breakfasts in the dewy grass and
were chirping happily.
I have seen a number of bluebirds
and bluejays. They are also pretty
birds.
We ordered some flower seeds

A Hungry Dou,

Dear Uncle Jed: A hungry dog once
found large piece of meat. He was
glad to get it, you may be sure, for
he'd had nothing to eat for long
time. He picked the meat in his teeth
and ran to quiet place to eat it all by
himself. On his way he had to cross
a plank which served as a bridge over
quiet brook.
In the water he saw another dog
with another piece of meat. So greedy
was he that he opened his mouth,
snapped at the meat which belonged
to the other dog, when behold his
own meat fell into the brook and was
carried down the stream where he
could not reach it.
Too late he saw that the other dog
was simply his own reflection. His
greed had cost him his breakfast

After the goldsmith had departed
the judge sent for the town crier:
Go through all the streets of the
loud voice: All who love strange
sights come to the goldsmith's shop
this afternoon four hours before sun
set" he commanded.
Long before the appointed hour the
street before the goldsmith's house
was packed with people. When the
judge and his soldiers were seen APP
preaching. a way to the goldsmith's
door was made for them.

have promised justice to all, and /
mean to keep my promise. Every evil
doer shall be punished. Behold this
door. 1t was placed here to keep
thieves out. Last night it allowed
thief to enter. 1t shall therefore be
punished for failing to do it's duty.
Soldiers, a hundred lashes for the
door!"
While the hundred lashes were be-
ing bestowed the people looked at one
another in establishment.

| What can it all mean?" they whis-
pered.
When the punishment was ended,
the judge again addressed the door:
Now you shall tell us who entered
here last night
AS the door gave no answer the
judge ordered another hundred lashes
| in punishment.
"Now," cried the judge, ARE you
willing to tell the name of the thief ?
| If you are afraid to speak 1t aloud,
you may whisper it in my ear
| The judge bent close to the door
and listened.
| "Nonsense!" he cried. "This door
is talking nonsenseI What it says is
| impossible. Another hundred lashes,

| After the third beating the judge
| again listened for the door to name the

At this a man was seen to hurriedly

out for just such an action, cried:

When the man, trembling with fear
