Clever woman! Lady Pollock writes in The Con-

craft. They cultivate choice and accurate style.

wholesale prices of anthracite coal. The
quantity thus disposed of is so small in COM

Much interest has been exhibited in
Boston over an article that appeared in
the Journal of that city, entitled Rest.
One correspondent requests that it be
kept at the head of the paper for all
time. The article is well worthy the
consideration of men in other cities be-
sides the Hub. The theory of the
writer is very simple and sensible one
He holds that men do not kill themselves
so much by overwork as by inattention
to the common laws of health. They
eat at improper hours, they do not exer-
else, they neglect the prime essential,
sleep; they break down, and overwork
gets the blame. A man is like an en-
gine-he will stand certain amount of
high pressure, and no more. Half the
quarrels and litigations in the world,
says the correspondent referred to, are
caused by bad digestion.

GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.

In 1853, after Colonel Steptoe's defeat,
General George Wright, with force of
700 men, went up into the Spokane
country to punish Indians. He built a
very large correl, captured over one thou
sand horses from the Indians, drove them
into this correl, and had the last one
shot-thus Gripping the savages by de-
stroying their transportation. Ever since
this place has been known as "Wright's
Boneyard. He did not hang an Indian.
G. p. Higgins, of the house of Worden

of Wright's expedition, OF '5S; and pre-
yiously, in SO, was campmaster of Gov.
