There is reason TO fear that woman is
very much displeased with the result OF
| the debate the other evening in the
House OF Commons respecting her
suffrage question, and that she intends
TO vent her displeasure on man. Fore
warned is forearmed, and some hints
which woman let drop at the conference
called on Thursday by the Central Com.
mittee of the National Society for Pro
noting Woman's Suffrage plainly show
that man not only stands in most per-
ilous position, but that it will require
the utmost tact on his part to escape
from it. His wisest plan evidently is to
say very little, and appear TO be fond of
poetry. After several ladies had in
Weighed against the conduct of the ma.
iority who had thrown out the Woman s
Disabilities Removal bill, Miss Bell
urged all women householders TO re.
fuse TO pay taxes unless they had
vote. Last year she refused TO pay
taxes, and allowed the authorities TO
come and take away her furniture This
year another lady was going to do the
same thing. She found that tables and
chairs had more effect with some per.

ment was very effective. 1t was not, of

as she had for nine days here there
was laughter, as though some ladies
present were rather doubtful as TO the
speakers estimation of the feelings of
women as rule on this point -" but"
continued Miss Bell, "she was bound
to say the man put in possession of
her house behaved admirably; he was
very fond of reading, especially Shakes
peare." Here there was loud laughter,
as though women plainly saw through
the cunning of the vile and inferior an
imal who thus feigned innocence, but
was inclined, on the whole, to take an
indulgent view of his shallow artifce.

The Lehigh Valley Coal Mines.

Few people are aware of the immense
productions and resources of these won
derful coal mines. The wealth of the
property is almost incalculable. These
companies, with the Lehigh Valley Rail.
road and the leased roads, represent a
capital of not less than $300,0O0,000 in
landed and railroad interests, while the
production has increased from the mod
est $50 bushels 1rst brougt from the LIE.
high mines 10 100000 tons a year.
For tens of miles the whole valley is
literally ablaze with the light of fires
from their iron furnaces. Standing at
the little village OF the Upper Lehigh,
some one thousand nine hundred feet
above high-wateI level, and surrounded
by the lofty hills, it is astounding to
know that $50 feet beneath are men
hard at work raising 100000 tons OF coal
per year from veins fifteen feet thick.
By the aid of an ingenious machine TO
break coal-one of the largest of the
kind in existence-the valuable mineral
is raised from these deep slopes of $50
feet, and, with extraordinary ease,
crushed into all requisite sizes, from the
large Jumps required by steamers TO the
little pieces used in our cooking stoves,
all cleaned and made ready for market.
All day the powerful engines ale kept
at W ork raising the coal, and all night
pumping the water from the mines.
Apart from the instruction to be OBJ
tanned from visit to this spot, there
are few scenes in the world of more
grandeur than that from Mount Pisgah
or Mauch Chunk, where the rocks de-
scend in huge perpendicular walls to the
edge of the Lehigh. At Mount Pisgah
is a steep inclined plane, where, in
length OF 1922 feet, a perpendicular
altitude is gained of over 664 feet. he
ascent and descent of this plane in a
" safety car" rapidly propelled by iron
bands passing over drum of twenty
seven feet in diameter, and worked by
two engines OF l20 horsepower each, Is
one of the most pleasing and exciting
parts of the visit Many tourist who
is at a loss to decide were to 90 this
summer in search of novelty, recreation,
and amusement, would find their time
well employed in takinga glimpse at the
mineral treasures and scenery of the
Upper Lehigh.

Graham Bread.

There is but one way only to make
Graham bread, viz :-Obtain first-class
flour and make it precisely in the same
manner as wheaton bread, with bakers
yeast. 1t is the most natural and whole
some of all breads. Some people fancy
that with the addition of soda, molasses,
steaming, ETC., it becomes more palat-
able. This is all bosh for the manner
in which it is generally made renders it
by no means healthy or digestable, while
au contraire, the simpler it is prepared
the better, like all other food. | have
used it made according to the above
plan for twenty years, only varying from
the same when travelling, and then have
been compelled, at hotels, to worry
down trash, yclept Graham bread, made
out of villainous compounds and pre-
pared, no doubt, according to some OF
the precious recipes occasionally APP
pearing in various ncwspapers.-P. /. c..

Undertaking and SubsOiling.

Mr.. S. G. Foster, of North Wilton,
Maine, in an essay delivered on Janua-
ry 80 last, before the local Farmers
Club, said:
We must underdrain and subsoil our
land if we would get rid of the trouble
with wet or dry seasons; by the term
subsoil | do not wish to be understood
as advancing the throwing up on top Of
the land a portion of the subsoil, but
simply stirring it up and leaving it
where it now is. The advantages Of
understanding and subsoiling are, that
if thoroughly done they will nearly free
us from any inconvenience from an un.
usually wet season by absorbing and
conveying from the land all surplus
water, while in an unusually dry season,
the ground being light and porous to
q greater depth than we usually have
it, will hold more moisture, and as the
top of the ground dries this moisture is
drawn upward and prevents the roots
of crops from being dried up. A piece
of ground trodden hard will not absorb
water TO any amount. If we would
keep the dirt stirred often among crops
in dry seasons it would draw more OF
the moisture from the air than if al
lowed to get dry and hard. In fact,
believe we may by some study and ex.
pertinent in draining and sub:oiling,
connected with .judicious stirring OF
the ground around growing crops, be.
come independent of any inconvenience
or injury resulting from a wet or dry
season.

Heart Disease.

Those ladies who suffer from the dis
tracing grievance and disability of
being treated too much as drawing room
pets, and shielded too carefully from
the rougher blows of the battle of life,
may possibly learn resignation, if they
cannot derive complete consolation,
from some dry but significant researches
which DR.. Quain has made, and in
which he stated the result in his first
Lumleian lecture on disease of the
heart, at the College of Physicians. En-.
largement of the heart, one of the most
distressing and fatal diseases, is more
than twice as frequent in males as In fe
males, the precise proportion being
eight TO three. This remarkable liabil-
ity to the enlargement of mems hearts,
as compared with those of women, is,
he thinks, PROFESSIONALLY due to the
greater amount of work and anxiety
which, in the present dispensation, falls
upon men. Ladies may take this fact
TO heart, and reflect whether, in claim
ing the rights of women, they may not
at the same time incur the risks of men,
and with them new and unexpected
form of debility. They might do wisely
TO rest content for their sex, with hearts
suffering, it may be, from those tender
affections which often pain, but never
kill British Medical journal.

The Fire In Yeddo.

The confiagration that recently visited
Yedlo, Japan, was, in respect to area
of district burned over, even greater
than the memorable Chicago fire.
though the actual value of the property
destroyed will fall far short of that Of
the latter catastrophe. In many re.
spects it was not dissimilar TO the
Chicago calamity, as will appear from
the following brief extract from the
Japan HeraIds account OF the affair:
1.-The greatest contlagration that
Yeddo-a city OF tires-has ever been
subject to, broke out on the afternoon
of April 3, at about ? o'clock, in
house occupied by LEU Higno, situated
about one and half ri from Asal<sa.
The fire is popularity attributed to be
the act of an Incendiary, but its origin,
like that of most other fires, is still en-.
veloped in mystery. Most unfortunate
ly, furious gale OF wind was blowing
at the time, having almost the intensi.
ty of a cyclone, which caused the fire
to spread with alarming rapidity, resist
ing and overcoming all attempts TO ex-
tinguish it, or TO limit its progress.
Block after block of houses caught fire
the conflagration sped with the ut
most celebrity from street to street,
leaping the canals, and at length seized
on whole districts, which at first, from
their remoteness from the place where
the fire began, had been deemed safe
from the all-devouring visitation. From
the first all efforts seemed fulfil. The
fire famed into fury by the wind, swept
with the exception of the fire proof
godowns-al before it, until it reached
the sea. All the afternoon and night
the fire burnt; the forked tongues of
flame shot high into the air, the smoke
was blinding-the heat intense, The
district over which the fire passed is
said to measure about four miles long
by three broad, and TO have involved
the destruction of from 1000 u 10000
houses. Fortunately, as far as is at
present known, the loss OF life is COM
paratively small, but the destruction
of property is, as matter of course,
great. The Yeddo and French hotels
fell prey to the fire, but the greater
portion of foreigners houses on the
Concession have been saved. The alarm,
anxiety and excitement have been so
great that it is impossible to get, as yet,
full and authentic particulars of this
great disaster, which, in point of mag
nitude, makes some approximation to
that of Chicago. Meetings have been
held in Yokohama and elsewhere by
the foreigners TO subscribe funds to aid
in the relief Of sufferers

A Difficult Question.

A court in sschuseetts is called
on to decide rather a difficult question.
At the city of Worcester, there is a
copperas factory in the immediate vi
cinity of cemetery. The gaseous ema-
nations of the factory have strong
chemical affinity Tor the tombstones,
and the consequence is that the latter
lose their whiteness after brief period
of exposure. OF course this renders it
less pleasant to be buried in that par
ticular graveyard than it would other
wise be, and discourages death to such
an extent that the proprietors are suf-
fering from serious falling off in their
business. Hence they are proceeding
to have the factory abated as nuisance,
and the court will be obliged to deter
mine which is the more important; that
copperas should be manufactured, on
that deceased citizens should be vouch1
safed the undisturbed enjoyment Of
white tombstOnes

The Fastest Stallion in the World.

Mr.. Bonner's colt Startle, five years
old, trotted, Friday, May 10, during a
strong gale, and carrying the proper
weight, full mile in 2:2434 minutes.
This did not satisfy Mr. Bonner, whom.
sisted on the colt trotting again, which
he did, making the mile in PIG "a min
utes, doing the first quarter in 81 ID
seconds; the half mile in LOG; the
three.quarters in l.43 | 2, and the mile
in 2:l934. Commodore Dodge, Robert
Fletcher, and Sim HIoagland acted as
Judges. Startle was driven 10y Geo. Hop
kins. Startle was sired by old Ham
bletonian; his dam was Star mare, the
blood of which has crossed best with
Hambletonian. He is gentle in dispo-
sition, and honest and square in his
trotting. He is probably the most val
liable trotting stallion in the world.
