TO THOSE ABOUT TO BUY

When you are asked to buy n Sewing

questions like the
following:
What can be the reason for advising me
to get this Machine?
Do they really know any better than my
self which is best or have they selfish in
tcrcst in the matter?
If buy it and find have not the best
who will be the loser? Will they, or can
they, give me all the necessary instructions
for using the Machine and keeping it in
order?
If buy this Machine what assurance
have that can get it repaired without
much trouble should it ever get broken or
any part of it get lost?

The Engineering and Naming Jour-
nal, under date Of New York, June
llth, says:
There is some difference Of opinion
in the trade as to the operation OF
the new tariff law, which fixes the
duty as follows: 'On all slack coal
or culm, 40 cents per ton (2240 lbs }
on all bituminous coal or shale, Is
cents per ton" There appears to be
no ad ualorem duty. According to
the best judgement we can form in
the matter, the effect will be to slight
ly lower the prices of gascoals and
so benefit the gas companies, we fear,
without any corresponding benefit to
consumers. The Westmoreland, Fair
mont.' and other American gas Goals
may be somewhat affected in price
but the Cumberland Goals, particular
lv in their metallurgical applications,
will hold the place they have won by
their superior quality. The whole
bearing Of the duty on coal is trihing,
outside of the gas manufacture. The
poor quality of Nova Scotia steam
and metallurgical Goals puts them out
of the competition. The notion Of
the Evening Post, that the duty on
these Goals permits the Anthracite
monopoly" is ridiculous enough
That monopoly if it ever existed, has
been thoroughly smashed, and the
American bituminous coal helped to
smash il.

Short Studies.
1.-THE INFLUENCE OF AMERICAN
INSTITUTIONS UPON AMERICAN
LITERATURE.

Whatever may be the other causes
on which the literature of country
depends, it is plain that large ltera-
ture presupposes IA high degree of =
tivity in the public mind, and that its
greatness will be determined by the
spirit which animates that activity
The only proper interference Of gov
eminent is to remove the accidental
distractions to the operation of the
natural laws of the mind, by no means
to attempt to compel uniformity of
opinion in its subjects for, in proper
ton as the latter state of things exists,
one of the chief motives is destroyed,
by which nature impels us to intellect
ual intercourse, that Of reproducing
our own thoughts in the minds of
others.
The growth of both ancient and
modern literature clearl v sets forth
this principle. Witness the contrast
presented by two of the principal
Grecian states, Athens and Sparta,
and the poets golden and IRON ages
Immediately come to the mind
Athens with her refined, but brave and
independent sons, possessed itera-
ture which even now reflects honor
upon her memory. Sparta, on the
other hand, despised intellectual cul-
ture and refinement She delighted
alone in war. The Importance of
courage and the grandeur of conquest
were the ideas implanted in the minds
of her sub ects from infancy, and kept
before them in mature life. With one
we associate the wise laws of Solon
the almost Christian ethics of Socrates
the idea of freedom, and an immortal
literature while the other serves but
to call up the bloody code and iron
currency of Lycurgus, consolidation
supreme, and a barren literature.
In the days when to be a Roman
was greater than king when the
Gorgon heads of vice and tyranny had
not vet transformed human nature in
to stone, it was considered by Rome
citizens one of the greatest honors to
be able to advance the literature of
their time. Public opinion was free,
and the author was entertained by
those high in authority as among those
deserving high consideration. Such
were the days in which Cicero and
Ennius and Cato wrote, days on which
memory delights to dwell. But when
luxury and political despotism crept
in upon them, men of learning were
silent
When those greatest men of Eng
land sent forth their productions which
to this day delight the intelligent, no
despot occupied the place of power;
sovereigns guided the state, who, see
ing the immense benefit accruing from
every addition to knowledge, encour-
aged literature. Discussion of truth
was comparatively free, and hence the
public mind active. Under such cir
cumstances were developed the myriad
minded Shakespeare, the magnificent
Milton, and Bacon, the Moses who
guided us to modern philosophy"
The principle referred to has never
been more strikingly manifested than
during the last half century, in which
almost every kind Of government has

TIE THREE WREATHS.
BY MISS c. B. TROUT, OF FRONT ROYAL, VA

Night winds rock the flowers Their sleep
must be sound,
AS dew-drops are falling gently around.
Morn, when you climb up the hills far away,
Where shadows will open the gates OF day,
Take some of the roses that glow on the sky,
And smiles that have dropped from your
burning eye;
Mingle them sweetlv with beauty and grace !;
Drop them gently on each flowers face;
They must be beautiful, radiant and gay,
To shine in a wreath for the queen OF May.
So they made wreath of the brightest
flowers
That grow in the garden or woodland
The queen of May, meath the flowers so
bright
Seemed an image of JOY all rohcd in light.
Then prayed her joys might not pass away,
So soon as would fade the garland OF May.

@, balmy winds from the far away isles,
Where beautiful summer forever smiles,
Visit their forests, that breathe out perfume
Gather ii all from their bursting bloom;
Then hasten home over the dark blue seas,
And shower it down on the orange trees,
Till the wild birds walked by the fragrance
round,
Shall Join in glorious burst of sound,
That shall cause the orange flowers to shake
Their snowy white evc-lds wide awake
And to breathe all the fragrance through
and through,
Then to deck themselves with the pearls OF
dew,
And then to he gathered in all their pride
To shine on the brow ofthe fair young bride.
They gathered the flowers SO rich and rare,
And they wore them among the bride $
dark hair
Then the prisoned dew drops in glld sur
prise,
Welcomed the tears in the brides bright
eyes.

With only the sunshine all the way through.
O, sorrowing winds, SO dismally low,
AS over the earth We wandering 20,
Gather all the signs from the mountain trees
Take the mourntul groan of the prisoneti
Take an the sad things that are heard ON
earth;
Mingle not with them one sound of mirth
But make them into one mourntul wall,
Then sound it aloud over hill and dale,
Till the cypress branches, grown dark with
years,
Shall much darker grow with their sudden
fears.
Till the roses shall grow more pale and white
AT yonr fearful voice, o winds, to -nght
For they will he broken ere night has tlc,
To make wreath for the brow of the dead
The cypress dark and the roses so pale
Were twincd in wreath so faint and So
frail.
And laid on the brow that was still and

Till it shone on grief like a star on night
saw mid the cypress the shade of wings
In the roses pale more glorious things;

Borden Shaft.

JULY D. 1917.
On Saturday last we had the pleas
ure of witnessing grand display of
the Babcock Fire Extinguisher, A
large pile of coal oil barrels was cree
ted and set on FIRE, and when the
flames had reached their highest point
the Extinguisher was put at work, and
in less than one minute, the fire was
completely subdued, The experiment
was repeated several times, each time
proving the same efficacy. An organ
ization of young men, provided with
a suitable number of these machines,
would be a worthy consideration for
any city, town or village, as a protec-
ton for life and property.
ARTHUR ARTHUR, a miner in the
Shaft, was sledging down fall of
coal on last Wednesday when the fall
and portion of the roof gave way
and struck him on the head and right

The endorsement Of the Greeley

to be nearly q certainty. The fact
that more than two-thirds Of the en-

Clubbing and Arresting . Sick BTan-His
Death Yesterday-Post-kLorte Exami-

DR.. Ohadsey OF Spring street. yesterday after
noon gave Deputy Coroner Cushman some informa-
ton In relation to patient who had been under
his care, which, II true reveals case of Official
misconduct and brutality very aggravated in its
character. DIR. Chadsey reports that John Doherty,
thirtyOne years OF age and horn In Ireland, by Oc-
cupation porter. had died ut ten O'Clock yesterday
morning at his residence, No. 10 Desbrosses street,
by the extreme heat. Doherty had been
suffering rom lung disease for some
time past, and on saturday last was
overcome by the heat, and Milling TO the pavement
was arrested by policeman on charge OF drunk
enness which the prisoner stOutly denied, saying
he was Q sober man and had not tasted liquor that
day. Ths protest did not answer the oficial pur-
offered by Doherty he, as alleged, was seriously
dubbed and then roughly dragged to the station
house and consigned to cell, from which he WAS
taken to the TOmbs and committed for examina-
ton. ON Sunday, however, D0hcrty was DIS
charged, and yesterday morning proceeding to
his work was again FRUSTRATED by the heat and
being taken home In carriage could not be rallied,
and dlod "a previously stated What DR.. Chadse ~
now desires to know IL whether the maitreatment
by the police and the subsequent incarceration
without medical aid or proper nourshment had
anything to do with causing his patients death.
Such, In brief, Is the history OF D0herty's sick
ness and death, and in order to learn to positive
certainty from what cause he did die Dr. Cushman
win this morning make post-mortem examination
on the body, after which, should 1t prove to be
criminal case, Coroner Schirmer will enter upon q
searching Investigation. T, Hraf
