The mining population of the locality
knew all too quickly what the muf-

of the pit, only to have their worst
fears confirmed. The shaft was found

for the dead.
The number df the dead removed
grew from 12 to 15, and then 20, and
the list of those known to have been
in the feted shaft kept constantly
growing, and with it the number of

fell overcome by the damp, or hurled

One of the survivors, a fireman, who
was in. the mine itself when the ex-
plosion came started to work his way
in the direction of the entrance with
painful and almost hopeless labour,
making frequent pauses. In 0110 spot
ho was obliged to stop and wait for
four hours, on account of the after -
damp. At the end of that time he
ventured to advance a few steps fur-
ther, when he had to desist again and
wait another two hours in hopeless
darkness.
Another fireman who made his way
out of the death pit by a long journey,
relates that he passed numerous men
on the way who were unconscious and
helpless, and badly burned. He could
do nothing for them, and was obliged
to leave them to their fate,

such be the case, restrictions should be
planed upon the child's activity. His
weight should be kept off his legs, un-

Warns Feet.
You will never be in good health and
never do your best work if your feet
are constantly cold. Grave diseases. of
the throat and lungs are caused by cold
feet alone, and these troubles are al-
ways aggravated by a frigid condition
of the lower extremities. if proper foot-
wear does not give relief, consult aphy-
sician, for the chances are the system is
"run down," and radical measures are
necessary. In nine cases out or t:en,how-
ever, the foot covering is to blame, eith-
er because of its shape or its material.
Save in warm weather, and for low-cut
shoes, leather, as ordinarily prepared,bas
serious objections. It lacks two prime
qualities—porosity and capacity for ab-
sorption—being m this respect too much
like rubber. No foot can remain either
comfortable or healthy if kept in a per-
petual bath of its own emanations and
excretions. Leather, especially that of
the more porous varieties, may be toler-
ated for the outside, but for cold weath-
er it should always be lined with woollen
cloth, or, better, with wool felt. In
;fact, for all cold climates, and for wint
er wear in all climates where there is
any winter, a foot -gear made from all -
I wool felt approaches the ideal. Accord-
ing to modern notions, any illness in
one part of the body may be occasioned
, by some irritating cause far removed
'from the seat of the trouble. Just how
this is cannot always be clearly explain -
1 ed, but that such connection does some-
times exist is beyond dispute. In the
matter under dismission, If the nerves
' of the whole body axe irrita led by a
tight shoe, or the extreme cold of the
1 extremities makes extra demand upon
the blood supply, there is neither nerve
' force nor blood enough. left for other
functions.
Late Suppers.
The old tradition that to eat anything
just before going to bed is nue to pre -
duce indigestion and render sleep impos-
t sible is now happily exploded. It is not
good, as a matter of feet, to go to bed
with the stomach so loaded that the un-
digested food will render ono restless,
but something of a light palatable
' nature in the stomach is one ofthebest
aids to quietude and rest. Some physici-
ans have declared, indeed, that a good
deal o fthe prevalent insomnia is the
result: of an unconscious craving of. the
stomach for food in persons who have
been unduly frightened by the opinion
that they must not eat before going to
bed, or who have, like many nervous
women been keeping themselves in a
state of semi-stesvation. Nothing is
more agreeable on retiring for the night
than to take a bowl of hot broth, like
oatmeal gruel or clam soup. It is a posi-
tive aid to nervous people, andinduces
peaceful slumbers. This is especially the
case on cold winter nights, when the
stomach craves warmth as much es any
other part of the body, Even a glans
of hot milk is grateful to the palate on
such occasions, but a light, well -cooked
gruel is bettor, and in our climate, dur-
ing the cold months of winter, should
be the retiring food of every woman who
feels the need of food at night.

Pair. W. S. Barker is a young
minister of Peterboro who has by his
great earnestness and able exposition
of the doctrines of the Bible earned
for himself a place amongst the
foremost ministers of Canada. He,
with his most estimable wife, believe
in looking after the temporal as well
as the spiritual welfare of mankind,
hence the following statement for
publication:
" I have much pleasure in re-
:ommending the Great South Ameri-
can Nervine Tonic to all who are
ftlioted as I have been with nervous
prostration and indigestion. I found
very great relief froiu the very first
bottle, which was strongly recom-
mended to me by my druggist. I
also induced my wife to use it, who,
I must say, was completely run down
and was suffering very much from
general debility. She found great
relief from South American Nervine
and also cheerfully recommends it
to her fellow -sufferers.
"Rev. W. S. BARIUM."
It is now a scieut:fie fact that ser•
fain nerve centres located near the
base of the brain have entire control
over the stomaob, liver, heart, lungs
and indeed all internal organs; that
is, they farnish these organs with
the necessary nerve force to enable
them to perform their respective
work, When the nerve (metres aro
weakened os deranged the nerve
.,I
force is diminished, and as a molt
the etomaoh will not, digest the food,
the liver becomes torpid, the kidneys
will not sot properly, the heart and
lungs suffer, and in fact the whole
system becomes weakened and sinks
on account of the lack of nerve force.
South American Nervine is based,
on the foregoing scientific discovery
and is se prepared that it acts
directly on the nerve centres. It
immediately increases the nervous
energy of the whole system, thereby
enabling the different organs of the
body to perform their work perfectly,
when disease at once disappears.
It greatly benefits in one day.
Mr. Solomon Bond, a member of
the Society of Friends, of Darlington,
Ind., writes: "I have used six bottles
of South American Nervine and I
consider that every bottle did for me
one hundred dollars worth of good,
because I have net "ma a gone
night's sleep for twenty years on
account of irritaiicn, pain, horrible
dreams, and general nervous pros•
tration, which has been caused by
chronic indigestion and dyspepsia of
the stomach, and by a broken down
condition of my nervous system.
But now I can lie doivu and sleep all
night as sweetly as a baby, and i
feel like a sound Dalen. I do not
think there has ever been a medicine
introduced into this country, whisk
will at all compare with this as ca
euro for .the stoneack tan +l .73e*1170."' .
