the year 411 persons were killed. There
were 1,057 non-fatal accidents. To mine
the coal the miners used 1,237,180 kegs
of powder and 3,454,041 pounds of dyna
mite. There are 15,708 horses and
mules in use in the mines.
In the bituminous coal district there ;
were mined 70,310,20)3 tons of coal and :
the coke production was 10.185,112 tons.
There are 30,120 coke ovens in Pennsyl
vania. The number of persons employ
ed at the coal mines and coke ovens was

l/hampfon of Working Gtrla Won by
a Gallant Oillcer.
Miss Irene M. Ashby of London, who
has been in tills country a little more
than a year, a part of that time inves
tigating the child labor problem In the
j south under a commission from the
; American Federation of Labor, lins
i Just sailed for homo to attend ber own
wedding. As a friend of the London
IBELYEM.ARHBY.
working girls Miss Ashby has achieved
; international fame. She is going to
marry Alfred N. Macfadyen, a member
of the British civil service force, who
volunteered for duty in South Africa.
Miss Ashby received the young man's
proposal by mall some weeks ago while
in this country, and the return mail
bore the waiting lover a favorable an
swer.
Fortunate Twentieth Century Girl.
It Is indeed a good time for girls to
live, and I think they should realize by
whose efforts it became the "good
time." Do they ever think what wom
en and girls had to contend with before
this time dawned upon the world and
, how much they owe to some of these
same women? •
Just think of it! The women bread
winners of the United States, by the re
port of the last census, count away up
into the millions, and It is not so very
long ago when not only the Industrial
avgnues, but those of education as well,
were closed to girls. Think of their
lack of opportunity even half a century
! ago and contrast It with the present,
j What were the possibilities of educa
j tlon? Unless she happened to be the
daughter of a family who believed in
advance of tho age that a girl had the
brain and ability to learn ami that edu
i cation would not spoil her or make less
of a woman of her and a family could
i afford to give her private masters she
| bud to be content with the merest com
| mon school education, less even than
! children got now in the lower grades of
the grammar schools, and even that
I was grudgingly bestowed upon them.-
! Sallie Joy White in Woman's Home
Companion.
Where to Wear a Watch.
That watches should be get-at-able—
I that Is, worn in a place where coats,
; buttons and tapes need not be undone
: nor pulled asunder to probe them from
I some remote region—has long been the
I desideratum of women, and now that
j the problem Is solved many will rejoice.
I The neck, some clever one has thought,
Is quite as secure a hiding place for a
watch as the waist. It is also worn
more uncovered in these days of open
coat fronts and bodices buttoned up
below the chest. Many watches, there
fore, are now simply dropped down un
der the stock collar, and that they may
not fall too far below it they art? at
tached to a short, heavy gold chain,
| perhaps live or six inches long.
The New Craxe.
i It has been said that it is the trifles
; nowadays which make or mar one's
• make up, so to speak, so to give a girl a
: present of some of the well nigh Innu
merable odds and ends that are added
j to the toilet either in the way of clasps,
belts, laces, necklets, linir ornaments,
hatpins or what not Is to be on the safe
side. But who would dream of pre
! senting a walking stick? Yet It Is Just
1 this which at the present moment Is
| most acceptable to the smart girl. A
| while later it will go, of course, but for
j the time being there is a little craze for
green walking sticks with very fauciful
| —Jeweled, for choice, Is goes without
saying -heads.
Women Are Bent TnnKlit by Women.
Womanly graces of mind and heart
are best taught by women. Nothing
can make up for the lack of early
mother love and mother en re In a girl's
j life. The motherless daughter knows
this too well. It Is much the same In
schools and colleges. Girls need the
Inspiration of a high type of woman
hood always. They should have It
before them at college, and they should
also have while away from home tho
Intelligent guardianship and guidance

MOST LITTL.E BABIES DIE, either from bowel troubles
or irom diseases which they contract because they
are in a weak and feeble condition from bowel troubles.
Mothers v.) in nr. ■ if. km.: tin-i.i-ai mi.l pnija-r medicine to give their little ones for
constipation, diarrhea, colic and simple fevers will liiid Laxakola the great family
J It is the best and most effective laxative for children. BEST liecauso it Is safe and
made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never
gripes or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST
because " Children like it and ark/or it."
It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent remedies that rack and rend
their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA.
A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve
colic by exjjelling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers,
break up colds and clear the coated tongue.
(ireat relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from
diarrh.ea. accompanied with white or green evacuations from the fact that I.AXAKOI.A

Use salt uud vinegar to clean brass j
utensils and ornaments. Turpentine
sprinkled in the haunts of cockroaches |
will scatter them. Burning purullln j
may be almost Instantly quenched by
throwing flour upon it. If food is cook
ed In earthenware, the flavor is pre
served better than when Iron vessels
are used. Pies, etc., moistened with
milk just before they are put Into the j
oven bake a nice brown. Blood stains
should be treated with cold water.
Sometimes a paste of flour and water j
will remove small spots and make
further treatment needless. Scrape the |
paste off when dry. Ink spots on cloth, |
even when old, will give way to re
peated washings, first in melted tallow, j
then in hot water. This is a far better }
remedy than salts of lemon, etc., and |
It never eats the material as salts some- '
times do. For mildew, try dipping the ,
articles in sour milk, laying them in j
the sun and after they are white rins- ;
Ing them In clean water. For scorch- '
6d places, wet with water and lay them
in the sun. Tar and wagon grease
should he treated by having a clean
cloth folded upon them, benzine pour
ed on them, then rub with a clean
cloth. A handful of lig leaves boiled
in two quarts of water until reduced
to a pint will remove stains from j
crapes, bombazines and mourning ma- j
tori u Is.
To Polish Fnrnltnre.
The great point with any furniture,
Chippendale or otherwise, with regard
to polish, is to apply the latter as thin- 1
ly and lightly as possible and then rub j
it up till no trace of the polish is any- j
where discoverable. Unless this is 1
done the furniture will always be !
sticky, attracting dust In the most ex- !
asperating fashion and showing every |
linger mark. This is one of the most
dlliioult things to impress on house- |
inaids, as they will persist In believing j
that the more polish they apply and the |
thicker they put it oil the better will
lie the effect, yet in reality the exact |
opposite is the case. Housewives for- J
inorly used nothing but turpentine and \
beeswax, with an Infinity of elbow
grease, and it is to the latter ingredient
that the brilliant polish of old furni
ture was chiefly due. If the old oak
is dirty, try this: Boil together half a
gallon of beer, a half ounce of beeswax
and a tnblespoonful of sugar. Apply
this with a brush and when dry polish
thoroughly with clean cloths.
To Serve bettore Cooked.
A savory way of serving lettuce is
to boil three heads in a little water for |
three minutes, take them out of the
saucepan and drain off the moisture, ,
put into u stewpan some bacon rind 1
and a small lump of butter, sprinkle
the lettuce with salt, pepper and a little I
flour and lay it In a pan and put the
cover on and let it simmer for two
hours very gently, turning the contents
at short Intervals. Ilave ready some
peas plainly boiled until very tender,
put them in a hot vegetable dish, cut '
up the lettuce and pour it over the
peas; also the liquor from which the
bacon rind lias been removed.—Ex

I ii |aild Account* Drove n Wnmnn to
Suicide.
Not so very long ago a woman threw
herself before a New York elevated ;
train and was instantly killed. Her sis- I
ter testified afterward that she was a
"fashionable" dressmaker and had over
$13,000 worth of outstanding accounts
which she could not collect. The people
from whom she bought her goods were
persistently asking for their money,
but she could not pay them because her
customers did not pay her for her
work. It so preyed upon her mind that
after weeks of sleepless nights she de
termined to kill herself. And she did.—

There are fitv Socialists In lowa, but
Eugene Jiebs polled 1.043 votes in the
llawkeye State last year for president.
Of these 540 were east in Scott county,
which includes the city of Davenport,
with a considerable Gorman popula
tion. The vote for Woolloy, Frohibi
i tionlst, in Scott, county was only 00.
So far as the British regular army
is concerned there are ten battalions
I the men of which wear kilts. In addi

Montreal, have been appraised by an

to sell for $30,000 if the government
will give them another piece of prop
erty worth $30,000.
Grape fruit Is no longer a luxury for
the rlcli alone. The market for it has
widened materially, ami its culture is
growing rapidly in Florida, particular-

j Florida East Coast railroad. The fruit
j is grown on the same kind of hind as
i oranges and is eared for, harvested
and packed in the same manner.
One-sixth of the entire area of Colo
rado is excluded from the application
of the homestead law, according to nt

| land in a large part of the state can be
taken up only through the desert land
i act, as mineral or under the timber
and stone act. In any event the settler
I Is obliged to pay at least $1.23 an acre
for thv land.
BABIES AND BELIEFS.
I In Spain the Infant's fnee is swept

Esthoninn mothers attach hits of the
evil smelling asafetida to the necks of
their offspring.
Roumanian mothers tit? red ribbons
around the ankles of their children to
keep them from harm.
Among Vosges peasants children
horn at new moon are supposed to
have a sharper tongue than those born
| under the hist quarter.
Welsh mothers, to Insure the safety
of their babies, put a pair of tongs or si
i knife in the cradle. In some parts of
England the same practice prevails.

To have n sulllrlent stock of blouses
to be able to ring the changes in rou
tine lengthens the life of each one con
siderably. Therefore two of gingham,
two of plain silk for afternoon wear
and one or two of smarter nature for
parties would not be too many, while,
needless to say, the more the better.
And when these are manufactured at
home their cost is really so'very slight
