This may bo true, as undoubtedly moro peoplo dlo In bed with pillows under their head than any other way.

In this way tho sleep will l)o moro refreshing; It will bo found a cure, for Insomnia, and of vast benefit to those fcfllicted w ith lung trouble. HOUKlBLKCATASTKOrilK! THIRTEEN KIIXED BY EXPLOSION IN BERW1ND-WHITE SHAFT. A writer In tho Century states: "What wo truly enjoy in each other Is likeness, not tinlikeness. That is what makes tho pleasure of good society. 'There Is no rest tavo on tho common ground. If I meet a man of different tradition, dilTerent religion, different race, different language, I am pleased wltb liim for a moment, as I should bo with a fuiry or an amiable goblin, but be presently bows mo, when the sur- priso of him is over. I find that wo have no common ground. Tho perpetual yearning of our hearts is for Intelligent response, and tbis can come only from our equals, from equality." Thoro is a cortuln amount of truth in this, but xporlonco shov"t tho tendency to mato with opposites. Tho short man gen erally chooses a tall woman; tho fair roan a brunette and brilliant mon often dull wives. Did not Uaelno read his plays first to his cook ? Pray who were the favorites of Goethe but rather stolid lady frionds. One of the things hard to account for1 in social lifo Is the strange contrast between intimate . friends and married folks. The asser tion is everlastingly being mado "Well, I do nut see what ho or she can admire in so and so." Friendship is a very peculiar and subtle thing. It knows no wherefore in its formation and yet a trifle breaks it. "The course of true love never did run smooth." Intel lectual men do not wish their counter parts for frleuds. Nature abhors . monotony and loves the picturesque. So do men. Savage life is a narrow one, for it has few thoughts and employements. All think alike, act alike and die alike. It is only when dissimilarity in mental makeup occurs that real living begins. Talent and genius are the products of civilization and this means infinite variety. If there were no contrasts there would be no life worth the name. If all were milflonaireB or Edlsona, who would do the world's rough work and save ua from barbarism ? KitRl Cheat Mine Dlsnster in the Hintoty of this Region, Tlio citizens of ltoyuoltlsvlllo Were horror-stricken Monday forenoon when the news was spread upon our streets that an explosion had occurred In the HerwIniMVhlto shaft near Dullois and that a dozen men had been taken out of tlio untie dead and that there worn at. least 11 fly moro men in the mine and tho supposition was tlmt they were all dead. The report of the explosion was too true, although thi! number of men in tlio initio when tlio explosion occurred was not one third as many " w"s first reported. Thirteen men, all of whom were mar ried but one, lost their lives as a result of tile explosion. Following urn the mimes of ttie d'iid; .lames Cnilmm.sr., lames ( ! t-ii li it in . jr , who was working with bis father, .lohii Moroe, (loot-go I 'ost .ielh wait,. I esse I'ostlelhwnlt, Henry Harvey, (leorgo Harvey. Hurry Htultli I.-'ndsey F. Hratlley, Andrew Nowak, David Hell, Itetilx-n Noble, ( leery e Alnsley. Tho CotinVr gives tlio following ex planation for the cause of tho awful calamity: "It is believed the explosion was caused by the dust in tho mine be ing Ignited by the llrlng of a shot, ami partook of tho character of the fatal explosion In tho l'ocahontas district several years ago and In the niaiiimolli mine In tho ('onnellsvillo region 'a couple of years ilnee. Tills Is the theory of experienced miners and mlno bosses, and Is horn out by the fact, that the roof and walls were covered with dust and soot, which would not have ln'cti the case hud the explosion Ix-en of gas proper." When the news of the explosion reached the rain of the miners at the Hochester tnlno thoy dropped their tools and hastened to tho Herwlnd White shaft anil endangered their own lives by venturing down Into tlio shaft, which was II I led with ileal li-deallng after-damp, to rescue any that might possibly still Is- alive. It Is claimed liy those wlio were there that It was so hazardous to go into the shaft tlmt each man, licforc getting Into the carriage to go below, took from his clothing all little articles, tokens, papers, etc., which they wanted cared for and hand ed them to friends to take care of. Tills Is another evidence of the willing ness of men to risk their lives for others. Tile Cunriir received the following story from Michael (iarrctt, one of the few men who escaped with their lives, unil who was also u survivor of the Johnstown Hood: "About l o'clock Mr. Garrett and bis companion thought they were sensible of a shock having occurred and while they were still thinking of it Mine Doss .lames Harvey came to them in a hurry and told them to hurry to tho foot of tho shaft as fast as they could us he was suro there was something wrong. They all went as fast as possible and when they ennui to the shaft they got into the smoke and know what tho troublo was. Their first effort was to put up some brattices which had boon blown off by the ex plosion, hoping that It might possibly have the effect of turning an aircurrent to their comrades in the other parts of tho mine, but before they had accom plished much they were being overcome by the nfter-damp and had to bo taken up In tho cugo, one ofthem then being In a very serious condition himself. That Is the story of what happened bo low up to tho tlmo tho work of recover ing tlio bodies began, so far as those who came out allvo know from personal experience." The Injury to tho mine, it Is claimed, was comparatively slight, about tho only damage being tho knocking down of tho timbering of tho main houding for a distance of 800 or i)00 foot. No lire followed tho explosion. Nothing but safety lamps havo been used In tho mine for five or six months. Chuich Notices.

The Brockwayville lltctml of last week devoted a column to a write-up of tho coal works at Boechtreo, which was under tho control of tho Hell, Lewis & Yates C. M. Co. for a few yours, but reverted buck to the Pittsburg Coul and Iron Co. lust May. Wo clip the following paragraph from tho Iteconl: "Tho radical improvements which havo placed noechtreo on its present high footing In mining clrclos is the Intro duction of a system of rope haulage of the lutest improved pattern. This in itself is not such a wonderful affair, for the same huulugo system is used at Big Soldier mine at Roynoldsville and Eleanora, and at ono or two other places in the district. The great achievement at Boechtroe is tho feat of hauling on an endless rope orer a single track from opposite dlreotlons, a feat never, so far as known, accomplished in mining circles before."
