COAL MINE RUN BY WOMEN. Athletic Siatcr. Who Can Farm and Do Housework as Well as Dig Coal. ! A coal mine run by women is :ui in novation In America. In sections of ; Germany, England and Wales It Is a ! common tiling for women to work In ! and about coal mines, although of late \ years this custom has boon almost abolished in Wales. In Uie Mahoney VaJley, several miles I southwest of Sliamokin, Pa., lives Jo soph Mails, a native of Germany, who Is owner and operator of a coal mine. His four grown daughters and three younger, girls help him in operating the colliery. Their father considers them MARIE MACS. the best slate pickers and workers la (he anthracite region. He finds them dutiful, cheerful workers, and he never lias any fears of their going oji strikes for higher wages or from any Imag inary grievances. Mr. Mnus superintends the mine and works at cutting out the cool. The old est daughter, Katie, 22 years of age, perforins the duties usually assigned to 1 on outside foreman. She supervises the running of the breaker In a very satisfactory manner, and attends to selling the coal to the hundreds of farmers who live In the valley. Mary, 21 years old, has charge of the mules which hoist the coal from the interior ' of the mine by an old-fashioned gin. Anne, who is n pretty good mechanic, runs the pump that keeps the mine from filling up with water and feeds the boiler and engine that operates tlie machinery. Lizzie is the slate picker boss and is assisted by her three young er sisters and little brothers in clearing the coal of slate as it passes down the chutes into the storage pockets. These energetic young women are fine specimens of womanhood and are stronger than the average man. They are almost six feet in height, and well proportioned, orect and weigh on an average of 200 pounds. They do not confine their muscles and lungs in cor set and lace them into elgliteen-ineli waists, with the assistance of the bed post, previous to going to work, and they are satisfied with the fine physi cal perfections with which nature has endowed them and are content to let nature have licr sway which keeps them in jierfcct health, ami strength They have never known a day's Illness In their lives and a visit from a doctor is an unknown experience. Their clothes are not of the approved netv woman order, but are of servicea ble material, the skirt Just reaching the ankles. They wear stout hrogans od their feet and take turn about helping their mother with the work on the farm and in the honse. Tlicy are expert farmers and housekeepers. Mrs. Mans runs the farm and her husband claims It Is a better paying investment than the coal mine. The girls work hard six days in the week and seem happy •' "o contented with their lot. So much attention is called to the measurement of the strawberry around the waist that the fat man is escaping comment. Slialie Into Your Sltoea Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder for the feet.

A I'ichthousß Citrl. | Gustav Kobbe writes n paper on "Heroism in the Lighthouse Service" for the Century. Mr. Kobbe says: Sev eral of the violent storms that have whirled over Matinieus Rook have tried the fortitude of the little hand of faithful watchers upon it. One of these watchers, Abby Burgess, has become famous in our lighthouse annals, not only for long service, but also for brav ery displayed on various occasions. Her father was keeper of the rock from 1853 to 1801. In January, 1800, when she was 17 years old, he left her in charge of the lights while he crossed to Maticinus Island. His wife was an Invalid, his son was away on a cruise, and his other four children were little girls. The following day it began to "breeze up;" the wind increased to a gale, and soon developed Into a storm almost as furious as that which carried away the tower on Minot's I,cdge In I 1851. Before long the seas were sweep ! Ing over the rock. Dowu among the boulders was a chicken-coop which j Abby fearpd might be carried away. | On a lonely ocean outpost like Matlni ' cus Rock a chicken Is regarded with j uifectionate interest, and Abby, sollci | tous for the safety of the Inmates of the little coop, waited her chance, and when the seas fell off a little girl rush ed knee-deep through the Bwirllng water, and rescued all but one of the 1 chickens. She had hardly closed the door of the dwelling behind her when a sea, breaking over the rock, brought down the old cobble-stone house with a crash. While the storm was at Its height the waves threatened the gran ite dwelling, so that the family had to take refuge in the towers for safety; ; and here they remained, with no sound j to greet them from without but the roaring of the wind nroundthelanterns, and no sight but the sea sheeting over the rock. Yet through it all the lamps were trimmed and lighted. Even after the storm abated, the reach between the rock and Matinieus Island was so ! rough that Captain Burgess could not I return until four weeks later. Bicycle Priced Fall. After several years of exorbitantly large profits the manufacturers of bicycles have been compelled to very largely reduce their prices. The pub lic actually refused to longer pay SIOO for a machine which can be built for oue-quarter that amount. A few makers paw this some time ago and put on the market cheaper machines at very greatly reduced prices which so cut into the business of the higher priced manufacturers that in pure self-defense they were compelled to bid good-bye to their old high prices. Why should not the same thing oc cur with type-writing machines? They no doubt cost considerably less to pro duce than bicycles, and yet some of them are selling at the ridiculously high price of SIOO. It is fair to infer that a machine which sells at SSO costs close to sls to manufacture. If a few large department stores in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi cago, etc., would arrange for large quantities to be manufactured for them by some one outside of a Trust the prices would come down to reasonable figures as have those of bicycles. The Ojrster. The oyster has no greater enemy than the starfish. It appears difficult how ever, for a fish to open the shell of an oyster, which requires a certain amount of skill even with an oystei knife; but the starfish has a peculiar method of leverage upon the opening of the two shells which the oyster can not resist. Biologists used to think that the starfish simply starved the oyster until it opened of its own ac cord; but observation has shown that by the pressure it applies the bivalve speedily Incomes a victim to its in genious enemy.

Ton can tako a piece of china that's been broken by tho maid, And can put tho thing together If you know tho mender's trade; You can mend the thing so neatly that no one will ever know That it has o'er been shattered by an unconsidered blow. You can tako a heart that's broken by some small flirtatious girl, And can mend the fractured pieces till they're smooth as any pearl, Av, say that that heart's possessor feels as sturdy as an oak. And forgets that e'er it happened that his heart was over "broke." You can fa.ll from a bicycle and make pieces of your nose; . You can break your collar-bono, or you can fracture all your toes; You can crush your arm in splinters; you can smash your either leg, And a doctor he will fix it till it's whole as any egg. I You can smash an ocean record, but that record still is there, You may break a trotting record with a rapid little mare, And leave the old one standing just as whole, quite as complete, As when it sent the jockeys a-huzzaing through the street. But alas! if you are angry, and have angry words to say, Beware a broken silence, or you'll surely rue tho day. For a silence that is broken, by the women or the men, Is a thing that can't be mended, can't be rendered whole again. | The Cavern ok Klies. j| Cgsl CRUZ, Mexioo, June 21 Vsl- /MM —A t Feooh, gt State of Yucn -lan, and at other places in tliat Stale, the BUD baa been ob tM, Bcured for sev eral days by clouds of flies, which came from the interior country.—The New York Sun. Is this the proof of the story told by the late General Jo 0. Shelby, the Confederate who never surrendered, but who, nevertheless, died United States Marshal for the Western Dis trict of Missouri? Has the Cavern of Flies broken loose? It was near this same Feooh, ac cording to the General's story, that Walter Andrews Balister, formerly living near Kansas City, Mo., won a fortune by entering the famous Cavern of Flies. The Cavern of Flies is one of the most wonderful and, at the same time, one of the most hideous places in the world. Balister's adventure, in daring and inexpressible terror, is not exceeded by the most extravagant flights of fic tion. The memory of his experience undoubtedly wore upon Balister's mind, for he packed up six years ago and left his home, saying: "I am going to Greenland, where it is too cold for flies." It is not known in what year he went to Yucatan. By a strange whim of fortune this tall, thin youth, from the district of Missouri, where the James boys had their haunts, found himself shipping from New Orleanß as one of a party to explore the ancient ruins of Yucatan. When he returned to Jackson Coun ty in 1880 his old friends did not know him. His face and hands were cov ered with countless tiny blue spots, as if he had been tattooed. He had plenty of money, although he went from the Missouri hills with nothing except the six-shooter in his hip poc ket. He builta fine bouse. Each window of the house was provided with firm wire netting. A summer house in the grounds was built., enmeshed entirely with netting. When asked why he used all this expensive wire netting, Balister replied, gruffly: "To keepout flies!" Soon his black servants told a strange story. Their master's chief requirement was that they should let no flics into the house. If he heard one buzzing, every person in the honse was ordered to kill that fly, to do nothing until the fly was killed. One day Balister found a black boy asleep with a fly perched on his nose. He struck the boy a blow that all but killed him! It was too near the big up-to-date town of Kansas City for black boys to be struck down by their masters, hence Balister was arrested for assault with intent to kill. He declared he aimed at the fly, not the boy. This excuse was considered a bit of grim humor. It was this circumstanoe that led the strange man to toll to the late General J. O. Shelby the story of the "Cavern of Flies." General Shelby told the story several times in con vivial moments. Balister's father was one of my bravest soldiers," said General Shelby, "and rode to Mexico with me rather than surrender to the Yankees. I met young Balister, but never asked him what made his face blue. Gentlemen, that man was blue all over! When he was charged with trying to kill the boy, he said to me: " 'General, it is no joke—l did aim at the fly!' "Then he told me the story whioh, he said, had never passed his lips be fore, it was so painful for him to tell. "It seems that somewhere in the in terior of Yucatan, near Fecoh, two of tho expedition, accompanied by Balis ter, found a lot of ruins covered by forest trees. An immense hill of lava attracted them, and it was around the hill they found these ruins. "Among the peculiar features of an ancient temple was an underground tunnel, which, by observation, they found to lead into the hill of lava rock. "In their efforts to follow this tun nel the party was driven back by swarms of flies! Tho walls and ceiling of the passage were covered with a species of flies which puzzled the ex plorers. They had never seen any flies of that sort in that land of flies. "Determined to solve the mystery of the underground passage, the party covered their faces antf hands with cloths and pushed resolutely on through ever-increasing clouds of flies. As they went further the ancient air grew warmer and moist, and an intol erable odor assailed Uieru, They were driven baok. "The next day they tried again, and were rewarded by signs of light. En couraged by the light, they fought through the swarms of insects and en tered what seemed the crater of an ex tinct volcano. The terriblo smell was from masses of flies underfoot. Warm fume 9 still arose from the rocks. High above them were the apertures through which came the daylight. " 'lt is a burial place!' exclaimed the explorers. "Balister knew nothing of the de light of unearthing the traces of ex tinct nations, his business was to man age mules, but be was filled with won der to behold rows upon rows of erect skeletons along the walls. The bones of the mysterious dead were covered with flies. "The next discovery was that the arms and ankles of the skeletons were decorated with bracelets. Fendauts bung from grisly necks upon empty ribs and diaphragms! 4 'lt was Balister who cried, 'They are gold!' "Almost blinded by the attacks of insects, the men began to wrest the treasure from the spectres of an un known past. "Balister knocked grinning skulls of queens and nobles from their shoul ders and strung his arms with rich necklaces of virgin gold. "Then arose a sound like the gib bering of ten thousand fiends. "Frightened and half running for the mouth of the tunnel, the men re alized that it was not the angry mur mur ings of the ghosts of a forgotten race, but the uprising of countless millions and billions of flics! "The swarms blotted out the rifts of daylight. The torches were extin guished, and the men fell upon their faces to escape the attack. "Then, joining hands, they sought to fiud the tunnel through which they had eutered. The pests got under their clothes, under the cloths over their faces, and they were bitten in a thousand places. "Balister said his companions screamed with agony! "They groped along the sides of the cavern, but everywhere their frantic hands felt nothing but the bony legs of the dead. "Balister, gentlemen, was not a fat, spectacled scientist. Ho was a strong, fearless young man of the stuff that, never surrendered. Yet he said that be felt his mind melting like a snow ball in an oven. He wanted to scream and gibber! "But, observe Missouri instinct all this time—he clung to bis booty! "He does not know how long the three men struggled in that avalanche of insects that choked them, that bit them in the gullet even as they were swallowed. "Balister lost hold of his com panions. Their screams, he said, sounded muffled in the angry roar ol* the myriads of flies which were eating them alive! "Almost ready to fall and have liis bones picked, Balister, by Missouri instinct, drew bis gun and began to shoot! "Although shooting at flics was mere madness, Balister said that the act of shooting saved his sanity. It was so natural an act for a Missourian, gentlemen! " 4 I yelled,* Balister said to rae, 'when 1 saw, by the flashes, the mouth of the tunnel!' " 'Come on!' he shouted to his com panions, shooting as he ran and stum bled through the tunnel. The flies pursued liiui every step. "He plunged into the court of the ruined temple, threw down his booty, and there tore off his clothes aud brushed from his flesh the flies that clung like leeches. He was black with them, black and red—for the blood ran in streams. "Running to the camp he smeared himself with ointment. "So engrossed was Balister with his own torments that he did not, for the time, think of his employers. "Gentlemen, they never came out!" "Balister assured me on his honor that he went back the whole length of the tunnel, in vain, thinking he might And them lying there unconscious. "He told me he remained among the ruins several clays. He couldn't sleep because, at night, he thought he heard screams in the tunnel. "Once he screwed up his courage to go to the mouth of the passage and call when he heard the screams. He said ho thought he heard mocking laughter in reply. "Balister concluded that the Mexi can authorities would laugh at his story, shoot him as a murderer aud tako his gold. "Possessed with this idea, ho hid the gold in the pack saddles of his mules and made his way to the coast without attempting to find the rest of the expedition, which searched vainly for the men who were eaten ab.ve. 11 'I am perfectly sane,' he told me, 'but I can't bear the eight of a fly.'" —New York Journal. "SCOTTIE" WAS REVENGED. Sure Vengeance For Being Duped Into "Cooning" an Imaginary Log. "I flayed a trick on one of the cow boys wo called 'Scottie,' " said the ex cow b 'j- " Bat he got even with mo in good shape. We were on the round up, and within two days' drive of Baton, but 'Scottie' couldn't stand it any longer, so he struck off for town early iu the morning to fill up. We didn't see anything of him till night. After the cattle had been bedded and the nigbt herders stationed he came into camp maudlin drunk. The boys began to tease him about being drunk, but he swore that be was perfectly sober, and offered to bet that he could walk a scratch. "I noticed just then that the moon cast my shadow like a log across the creek. I said, 'Scottie, I'll bet you can't walk across the creek on this log.' Scottie looked at it a moment rather .dubiously, then said: 'I don't know as I can walk it, but I'll bet I can coon it.' 'All right,'l said, 'coon it.' "So he got down on all fours to 'coon' it, and, of course crawled splash into the creek. The boys sot up a howl. Ho scrambled out, spluttering and cussing, pretty well sobered and swearing that he would 'get even' with the kid for that trick.' And he did. "I had in my string of cow ponies the meanest broncho in New Mexico. No matter how often I rode him he had to have liis pitch-out every time he was saddled. I made it a point to get off before the rest of the boys were ready to start. Failing in that,, I waited until they were out of the way. One morning, nearly two years alter 'Scottie' had 'cooued' the log, I saddled up and mounted. Thebroneho put his head down to buck. I jerked him up sharply, and the bridle bit broke and let the bridle off over bis head. Then he began to pitch and run right toward a barbed wire fence. "I heard 'Scottie's' voice say 'I catch him for yon.' Then his lariat whizzed by my head and caught the horse around the neck. I glanced over my shoulder and saw 'Scottie' set his horse back. It came over me in an instant that he was going to throw my horse and 'get even' with me. So I jerked my feet out of the stirrups and got ready to fall. I landed about thirty feet away, flat on my back. After the boys had brought me around, examined me and found me all there and no harm done, 'Scottie' turned to one of the boys and said: 'I told you I would get even with the kid.' "—Chi cago Times-Herald. Moving Hospitals. The railway hospital car is the latest novelty in foreign railroading. In the event of a serious accident, these cars can be run to the place of the disaster, where the injured may be picked up and carried to the nearest large city for treatment instead of being left to pass long hours at some wayside station while awaiting surgical attendance. It also enables the railway companies at certain seasons or upon special oc casions to transport large numbers of invalids to health resorts or places of pilgrimage. The interior of the car is divided into a main compartment, a corridor on one side and two small rooms at the end. The largest com partment is the hospital proper; it contains twenty-four isolated beds. Each patient lies in front of two little windows. Each bed is provided with a movable table, and a cord serves to hold all the various small objects which the patient may require. The corridors on the outside lead to the liuen closet and the doctor's apart ment. Various trap doors in the floor, when opened, disclose to view an ice chest, a compartment for the disinfec tion of soiled linen, and a provision cellar. If necessary, a portion of the hospital chamber may be transformed into an operating room for urgent eases. Finally, as customary abroad, a small chapel for religions worship is provided. This car will be put in charge of a surgeon and nurses, and will be chiefly used to carry invalids from Belgium direct to the health re sorts of France. They Do Not Marry Young:. The average age at which people in England marry has steadily risen for a good many years. Sir Brydges Henniker, Registrar General for Eng land and Wales, has only now com pleted his detailed reportfor 1895, nnd he states that the mean ages of those who entered wedlock in that year were about twenty-eight and a half years for men and slightly over twenty-six years for womon. figures, how ever, include the ages of widowers and widows who re-enter the matri monial estate, and who ought properly to be excluded from the calculation, for the average age of widowers who re-marrv is over forty-four, while that of widows is forty. If, therefore, wo deal only with the case of bachelors and spinsters, we find that the mean ages on marriage are twenty-six and a half and twenty-five respectively. The number of under-age marriages regis tered in 1895 was the lowest recorded for between forty and fifty years. Crime In Italy. In Italy only half of the criminals escape detection according to Siguor Farriana, who has written a book on "Clever and Fortunate Criminals." He asserts that while 9000 crimes whoso authors were not detected were committed in France jin 1825, the yearly number of such crimes is now 80,000. A Russian Army Scamlal. Russian artillery officers stationed at Otchahoff, on the Dnieper, have been detected in selling largo quanti ties of gunpowder and other ee to Odessa junk dealers. Using Long Words. Doctors who are in the habit of using j long words when visiting people may take a hint from the following little ! stor# : An old woman whose husband was no f very well sent for the doe tor, who came and saw the old wife: "I will send him some medicine which must be taken in a recumbent posi tion." After he had gone the old woman sat down greatly puzzled. "A recumbent position—a recumbent position!" idle kept repeating. "1 haven't got one." At last she thought. ! "1 will go and see if Nurse Lown has ! got one to lend me." Accordingly she went and said to the nurse: "Have you a recumbent position to lend rue to take some medicine in?" The nurse, who was equally as ig norant as the old woman, replied: "I had one, but to tell you the truth, • I have lost it." Wo have not boon without Piso's Cure for Consumption for 30 years.
