A BUDGET ABOUT BOXES.

r^ful Pieces of Bedroom Furniture That Can lie Easily M:«le. One of the most useful piuces of furn:"'are iu a woll equipped bedroom is a shnebox, a cJuthcsbox or receptacle for children's toys. Every family has them.

They're as popular as sofa cushions, and yofe very few business stores keop them, ai.vJ the carpenter has to be looked to for their manufacture.

A simplo and neat box is shown in 1. It is the size of an ordinary wlen slioobox, arranged with the lid lunges and cuvrtvd with somo light, cy material, such a: cretonne, silko-

The Academy of Forty.

"The Academy of Forty" is the ambitious title of a new society of women formed in Washington. Its president and moving spirit announces that the organization is not intended to rival the French immortals, but is moro after the order of the old fashioned debating society, but with modern improvements that rather lift it abovo the range of tho old societies. Its meetings are to bo conversations at which various questions will be discussed under tho critical inspection of a competent corps of judges, which will bo known as the committee of censors. Criticism will be passed tipon the pronunciation, grammar and language of the participants. Wliilo the organization by name is limited in numbers, thero is provision from honorary membership to which gentlemen and members outside the Wimodaughsis, of which societ3' it is an outgrowth, may bo admitted, so that the society is practically unlimited.—New York Sun.

This high distinction is awarded to her for the excellent service rendered to the important and useful institution of which sho is tlio guiding spirit.

Safety Hiding Sikirts.

The necessity for a safety riding.skirt has brought various kinds to light, but the latest one invented is practically a large apron in the saddle and a complete walking skirt when it is buttoned together. It does away with the disfiguring bulge at the knee, and the wearer can walk and ride with equal comfort. —New York Telegram.

SOLD BIKE DISASTERS

One in Manitoba Similar to the One in New Mexico.

NOT QUITE SO DESTRUCTIVE.

Sine Moil Imprisoned, but Eight Were Kcsciiod Alive, but in a Critical Condition. The Other One Iied Shortly After

Johnson rushed into the fieiy room, removed two boxes of powder and then directed his attention to an attempt to save the building. There was no fire protection and a bucket brigade was organized, but it was of no avail as the shafthouse was completely consumed.

The fire started at 1 o'clock and until 1:30 no effort could possibly be made to assist the man in the shaft. As soon as the ruins were sufficiently cooled it was found that timbers lining the shaft wee blazing and water was then directed mi these timbers, but in the excitement the greater portion was falling useless down the shaft.

Shortly after 2 o'clock the fire was ex-

tinguished in the shaft, and the men descended it and found six men on the iirst level, apparently all suffocated. They descended to tho lower level and found three more, but these men were in better condition than the others and. efforts were begun to raise the miners. Tin first three raised were suffering badly, but were resuscitated after a short time. The fourth man, John Lagier, was very low when he arrived at the surface and died shortly afterward. The others were in a critical condition when brought to the surface,

The eight rescued are: Alex Neilson,

Randolph Erickson. .T. Erickson, P. Strand, W. Prynn, Charles Edgestrom, C. Peterson and Charles Oon. Prynn, upon examination, was found badly burned.

It seems the airshaft ignited and caused a suction of air from the bottom of the shaft, depriving the men of fresh air and also causing smoke to descend the shaft, and when found all were unconscious, leaning against the side of the shaft.

OLD ABE MINE DISASTER. It is Now Certain That Eight Men I'erislted, Only One Escaping

SAN AXTOXIO, N. M., March 12.—Last night's stage from White Oaks to Carthage. 12 miles from here, brings additional news of the disaster at the Old Abe mine. When the stage left White Oaks it was certain eight men had lost their lives, the only one escaping being one who was close to the mouth of the shaft when the lire broke out. Already six bodies have been recovered. Three bodies were recovered in the main way between the second and third levels. The others were found in the slopes connecting the third and fourth level. The list of dead formerly given has not been changed.

White Oaks is over GO miles from Carthage, the nearest railroad point, and the nearest telegraph line is at that place. When the stage left there the camp was still iu such eonfusou and excitement that, little in the way of details could be learned. The origin of the lire is still unknown. The Old Abe mine is a gold property that has been Worked for a number of years, anil is wonderfully rich. Almost from tho grass roots it paid handsomely, and the company's stock can not be bought at any price. The owners are mostly residents of Albuquerque.

RAN INTO AIM OPEN SWITCH. J'iisseiigcr Triiin Wrecked 011 the i:i(,ern:itioiiul Kailroad.

HOI .STOX, March 12.—An open switch was the cause of a serious passenger train wreck on the International railroad at Dickinson station yesterday. Fireman H, A. Taylor was so badly scalded that he died from his injuries in a few hours, and Engineer John Killen severely, though not fatally, injured.

The train was a few minutes late and was making good time as it approached Dickinson. A switch had been opened and the train crashed into a number of freight-cars standing on a sidetrack. A dense fog prevailed at the time. The engines and the first freighicar wove badly smashed. The coaches and other cars were but slightly damaged.

AVater Famine Impending.

TACOMA, March 12.—The water supply in the residence portion of the. city was slnrt- off yesterday by order of the superior court and a water famine is impending. The court has decided that the main supply of wafer does not belong to the city, but to private individuals, although the city paid $2,000,000 to C. 13. Wright of Philadelphia for tho water plant and the water supply.

Fraudulent I'ension Agent Arre«tod.\\Ji, Bowuxft GKKKX, Ky., March 12.— Robert Pearson, a mulatto, claiming to be a pension agent, has been arrested here. One of his victims, James Roberts, paid him the required amount and turned over his pension papers, which Pearson claimed to have sent to Washington. When "arrested the papers were found in his pocket. Rain Interferes With Cleveland's Hunting.

It is supposed to have been started by a pipe in the pocket of a coat hanging on the wall. Foreman Johnson, noticing the fire, called on the men to assist in putting it out, but all ran away, being afraid of explosives in the dryingroom.

COMMON SCHOOL EDUCATION.

Ne-sv Studies *nd Fads a Detriment, to the Acquisition of Useful Knowledge. The following observations of the New York World upon common school

education, though based upon tho conduct of schools in Connecticut, are not without point as applied to tho public schools in. every state in the Union:

In a report just published the Connecticut state board of education abandons the cant and braggadocio which characterize too many, if not most, public school reports. And having done so it renders the cause of education in America an inestimable service by tell ing tho plain truth at a time when the whole country is suffering for it.

The board says that tho system of tho Connecticut public schools is "cumbrous, complicated and confusing," and that tho practice of toaching under it "is largely unskillful and therefore inefficient.

This conclusion it supports by ascertained facts. In Fairfield county, where 133 out of iilS teachers were normal graduates, the board found that not over 50 per cent of the pupils had been taught to write legibly. Out of 1,205 children examined (i59 could not find four-fifths of 40. Out of 1,089 of 10 years old 3S8 could not subtract 25 from 104. Of 1,2 18 of 11 years 743 could ot tell tho number of feet in six yards, and out of 833 aged 13 who wero asked what part 5 is of 20 only 323 could answer.

This ignorance is not exceptional nor confined to Connecticut. It is general, and it is a result of a system which prevails all over tho country—a system which assumes that children can bo taught by being lectured to by fifties and hundreds instead of being treated as if they wero responsible creatures with definito individual minds. And added to this is tho spirit of humbug and false pretense which is constantly forcing new studies and new fads into the public school course merely to make a show.

Ihis lias gone so far that only the child whoso parents teach him at home has a decent, chance of acquiring a practical acquaintanco with tho rudiments of an oducation through tho common schools. Connecticut has a compulsory education law, but it has not been enforced against teachers and school boards. And in Connecticut, as elsewhere, it is by their lack of education that tho community suffers most.

UNDAUNTED BY DANGERS.

Silver City, N, HI., Grew and Flourished In tin Face of Diniculties. "In visiting Silver City, Now Mexico, in tho course of a tour made recently, "said an ex-government inspector, "I was particularly impressed with the vigor and transforming power that mark tho impact of our American civilization upon tho regions wo acquired by tho Mexican war. The town was planted 20 years ago by American mining men in the very heart of tho Apache country, far from any other civilized community, and it was necessary at times in its early history to call the citizens to arms and to picket the town in anticipation of an attack from Indians. The year I first visited Silver City, 1877, thero had just occurred a murderous Apache raid, in which the savages had come so near the town as to swoop away horses from tho overlooking hills. It was a central point in tho vortex of Indian wars, raids and massacres until the Apache outbreaks ended with tho surrender and deportation of Geronimo's band in 188! Yet under such conditions it grew and prospered. "Today it is a city that in progressiveness compares woll with any town of its size in tho safest and most fruitful regions of the west. Its rich brick blocks contain banks, large mercantile: houses and manufactories, tasteful residences and grounds border its streets, and, seen miles away in approaching tho town, the stately building just erected for tho Territorial Normal school shows that the cause of enlightened education goes hand in hand with its commercial prosperity. This, mark you, in a country where 20 years ago, except at tho few military stations, tho language, customs and institutions of the civilized peoplo wero all inherited from the old Spanish colonization.

'Scientific Sanitation.

Continental municipalities aro far in advaucu of American cities in tho matter of public sanitary works, and especially in tho disposal of sowage. Paris is now carrying out a scheme to abandon tho present policy of polluting tho Seine with sowago and divert the material to extensive farms that have been established on tho outskirts of tho city. Tho success of tho Berlin sowago farms has done much to show tho value of this scientific method of handling tho wasto products of largo communities. All the houses of Berlin, with the exception of a few in the thinly settled outskirts, are connected with tho new drainago works, which aro carrying annually from 70,000,000 to 80,000,000 cubic yards of sowago to be scientifically irrigated over the surface of municipal farms having an aggregated extent of more than 20,000 acres, or upward of oO squaro miles.

.ft Tlie Modern Newspaper. Tlioro is a groat opportunity enjoyed by trade because of the .development of tho modern newspaper. It brings the merchant and his business before the whole public and gives to both the consequent distinction. The circumstance that tho trade of houses which advertise tho most largely and persistently in tho nowspapers is always greatest proves that tho public are interested in such announcements whon they are put in the voliiclo to which society now naturally looks for tho information.

Better Than Signs.

Friend—Are you superstitious? Do you boliove in signs? Successful Merchant—No nowspapor advertisements are better and cheaper. —Printers' luk.
