wretch seemed to have was that he could
not remove his hide and wager that.
The nickel-in-the-slot machine, tiie
grab-bags, rallies, and the thousand difl'
erent schemes of the kind, all show, and
show conclusively, how strong the gamb
ling spirit is. The toddling boy com
mences playing marbles for keeps, and
finds no amusement in a game for "fun."
The c.ird, billiard and other games of the
saloons add the epice of gambling, by
making the stakes the price of the game.
Isor does it stop there. At the clubs,
even the ladies follow this rule, and it j
may be found generally in some shape '
even in the church sociables. Gambling I
is a vicious habit, it is true, just as prize '
fighting is a low and degrading one; but
wL at are vou going to do about It? The
great majority of the people will gamble
in some form, and nine out of ten, no
matter how much they may deny it, take
a ueep interest in the result ot such a
prize fight as that of Fitasimmons and
Corbett. Gambling, prize fighting and
all that sort of thing will be stopped
when the.devil is chained up; but as his
Satanic highness seenia to be enjoying
the freedom of the world most heartily
extended, that day is in the very remote
future.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
It is time that the truth about these
accidents in the anthracite mining re
gions should In; told. Year after year
they have been occurring with appalling
regularity. The list of the dead and
crippled, the widowed and the orphaned,
grows from month to montli, while ihe
public, intent upon its own pursuits,
learns but little about it until some
frightful accident like that which lately
plunged tin town of I'lttston into
mourning concentrates attention upon
it. ar.d tip. n Uiere is a universal outcry.
It is iU instinctively that there must
1 s-oir.et'.iir.c wrong with the condi
tions under which tiie mining of coal
is carried on when disasters of that
kind can occur in a state which haw
wise laws regulating both the ventila
tion of mines and the conditions under
which the coal itself can be taken out.
15 ut what is the evil and what the n-m-nly
'.' Common sense as well as common
humanity prompts the discovery of the
one and the application of the remedy.
The law under which the present
system of inspection is carried on has'
worked many reforms. It has done
away with many of the evils wh'ch
operated so disasterously in the early
days of anthracite mining. It has given
! to one of the hardest working classes of
labor in the state comparative v nine
, air where previously no one could
breathe any but vitiated atmosphere.
I It has done even more than this, im-
iwtant as this achievement has lwen.
Under its provisions no shaft, slope or
j other mine can be worked without hav-
1 ing at least two avenues of exit the
J usual entrance and the air shaft, the
I latter for use in case of disaster in
j gangways near the mouth of the mine.
Nor do its benefactions stop even here.
Inspectors authorized by law to inforce
I the law's provisions are regularly np
! pointed and paid to do nothing else.
How, then, does it come that even after
it is in operation there can be such a
disaster as that which recently horri
fied every resident of Pennsylvania?
The answer to this question has al-
ready been hinted at in these columns.
When a mine is opened all the coal in the
eins is not taken -out. Portions of it,
which are called pillars, are left stand
ing to support the tremendous weight
of the ground above. As mining be--comes
more expensive, however, and the
supply of coal dwindles, thw owners fre
quently order the "robbing of the pil
lars'that is, the removal of the nat
ural supports which were originally
left standing. They know from past
experience that this is a dangerous pro
ceeding. Thousands of victims lie in
premature graves as the re.sult of its
adoption. Put competition isfierceand
to compete successfully some chances
must be taken. So one by one tho pillars
come down, until few, if any, remain
to support the mountains of earth above.

, Sirius, the dog-star, which is the
brightest to our eyes of all the fixed
i stars, has a very remarkable companion,
i never visible except, with powerful tele
scopes. It was first seen in 1SC2, and in
1S0O it disappeared, the reason of ins
disappearnce being that it had moved
- so close to Sirius as to be lost to view in
I the overpowering light of that preat
, star. IJurinp the time of its visibility
! the fact had been ascertained that it was
j revolving about Sirius at a rate which
would carry it completely around in
some o0 years. The shape of its orbit,
which is an ellipse with Sirius situated
1 in one of the foci, being calculated, ah
! tronomers felt certain that in a few
! years the vanished .star would reappear !
as it moved into a part of its orbil more !
distant from Sirius. This expectation t
has now been fulfilled, for recently the
missing star was seen again at the
(llagstaff observatory in Arizona. Al-j
though it is probably half as large as j
Sirius, it is butone-ten-thoii.sandth part i
as luminous as that.star. "louth'sCom
