For many years he exhibited his learned

made them draw q tiny chariot across o

One day he was going through his per-
formance at the Clichy fair, when q big
dog rushed up and seized him by the
calf Of theleg. Jean Lesillia had or.
tlered his iloas into their box, and held
II in his hand. The nip Of the dog at his
leg made him turn IN haste, and in his
frfghthe dropped his boxofileas. Their,
natural instincts made them jump upon
tile dog for safety, and at the same time
their master gave the dog o vigorous
kick, which sent him howling away. 1t
was not until he saw the dog running
that he conprehended tho loss Of his
pets. ? The crowd began TO laughin tho

Advertising In Paris.

The Paris correspondent Of the Lon.
don Times says: Nowhere Is the system
Of tempting tho public to buy better, or,
rather, more fully carried out than in
Paris. Many Of the newspapers angle
for fresh subscribers by announcing
presents Of watches, albums, and cheap
iewelry in exchange for o years sub.
scription paid in advance. Others IN.
nounce that they have made special ar
rangoments with various tradesmen, who
will supply their clients with articles at
prices which are considerably reduced,
or, il We are to believe the advertise
monts, below market value. The largo
shops Of Paris adopt the same limo OF
business, and presents Of all kinds, from
pieces Of music TO mir balloons, arc
offered to the people who daily throng
the stupendous establishments whose
heavily laden carts meet the eye in every
conceivable place. One establishment
Of this kind, intent upon outstripping all
Its rivals, combines the club with its
more commercial object. In it is to be
found q room where light refreshment,
such as siropsand cakes, are gratuitonsly
distributed, and 50 vigorously is tile rule
enforced that even the walters refuse TO
accept any sort Of remuneration. For
the convenience Of those unfortunate
male escorts who arc inyeigled to shop
with ladies, theproprietorshaye thought
fully provided comfortable reading and
billiard rooms. II is, perhaps, needless
to say TINT tho plnce is crowded from

eau the shops afford i'll Is a common
question with strangers who arc con.
tinually meeting with some new proof OF
this system o. gifts. Alittle reflection
will supply the answer. II is merely a
system OF advertising under another
form to that in vogue in England aud
elsewhere. In France those monster
placards which dishgure the streets Of
London are not to bo seen, sandwich
men do not circulate through Paris, and
the only attractive notices are those ex-
hibited by the Kiosques on the Boule-
wards, though the bare sides OF houses

BOYS Of. The olden Time.

In lecture before the New York His
torical Society on the changes Of cen.
tury, james Parton gave m account Of
his own schoolboy days, and his attend
ance at public school where the boys
expected to be whipped, as matter OF
course, twice n day. Most wildly he
remembered those scenes after the
lapse Of SO many years-boys under tho
influence Of a heroic but not successful
attempt to smile, and some again rub.
bing their hands and other afflicted
parts. Somebody asked Edmund Burke
on what principles instruction was
given at Eton College. "There they
are, pointing to . grove Of birch trees.
"No licking, no learning" was wisdom
as lato rs 1900. Montague described
tho rods used in the Paris schools in
those days rs being heavy and thick
with blood, and Luther stated TINT he
was hoggod fifteen times in one morn
ing. The methods Of instruction, too,
were crude as the discipline. Students
were required TO get or passages from
Locke on the Human Understanding"
aud other different works, aud repeat
them off without any elucidation on the
part Of the master, and without even
being asked o question. AT the present
time they were indignant, and justly in
dignant, but they ought TO be more In;
lignant because children in somo Of
the manufacturing towns were kept at
work eleven hours a day, but in reading
Robert Dalo Ovens account Of what he
saw at the beginning Of the present cen
tury, IL would te found that in some Of
the manufacturing towns Of England
children under ten years Of age were
kept OF work fourteen hours, and TINT
under circumstances OF aggrayation and
cruelty. Every reform, he said, was
carried on with excess, forit was not in
mans nature to go just far enough and
no further. Children should have the
right OF being prevented doing them
selves irreparable harm, and neglecting
opportunities that could not be recalled.
peaceably, II it were possible, forcibly II
not. Mr.. Parton told several amusing
anecdotes concerning tho training Of
children. In ono instance, when dinner
was on tho table, the child Of q fond pa-
rent insisted on shaving It's shoes and
stockings taken OFF and being permitted
to walk in tho dish Of nice brown gravy
which was round tho roast beef. And,

and the child was permitted to have its

The san ,FrancI.eo YlgIlanee Committee.

Referring 10 tho notable DAYS OF the
Vigilance Committee in San Francisco,
Gen. Sherman, in his personal memoirs,
tells how they were first started: In
1856 the Vigilance Committee took pos
session Of San Francisco. Politics had
become q regular, profitable, corrupt
business. There was such q thing as a
sheriff paying 100000 to be nominated
10 an office the nominal salary Of which
was Sl2, 900 a year for four years. James
Casey, who was afterward hanged by the
committee, Published a small paper in
the building occupied by Sherman as a
bank. On one occasion q Mr.. slather, q
banker and partner Of Drexel, complain
ed that Casey's paper attempted to black
mail the banks, "At that time" says
Sherman, Eve were all laboring to re-
store confidence, and / went up stairs,
found Casey and pointed out to him
the Objectionable nature Of his article,
and told him plainly that | could not
tolerate his attempt TO print md circu-
late slanders in our building, and II he
press to be thrown out Of the window.
He took the hint and moved 70 more
friendly quarters" The rival journal,
the Buttetin, published some documents
showing that Casey had ottce been SEN
fenced TO o New York penitcntiary.
Casey informed the editor, james King,
that he would "shoot him on sight"
That evening, as King was walking
home. Casey shot him and was arrested.
The citizens, under the control Of Wm.
j. Coleman, formed o committee. The

The Anthracite Coal Region.


The anthracite coal Of Eastern Penn.
sylvauia was first discovered, it is sid,
in ITO. In l775, Just q century since,
says writer, q boat-loai was taken down
to the armory at Carlisle, and in 1871
the great open quarry OF this fuel near
Mauch Chunk was nude known. From
its unlikeness to the Virginia coal, and
tho difficulty of igniting it, tho Pcnnsyl-
yaniA anthracite encountered much OPP
position. Tradition tells us that boat
load taken to Philadelphia in 1903 was
broken up and used 10 mend the roads.
But II slowly found It's way into use (;
and from pamphlet published in 1915,
we learn that the coal from the Lehigh
had been several years on trial in Phila-
dolphin, where it had been compared
with the Yirginia bituminous coal, and,
from the testimony Of iron workers, dis
tillers and others, was 10 be preferred TO
II for durability and economy. Oliver
Evans, had, moreover, OF this time tried
the anthracite with success under the
boilers Of his steam.engine, aud also In
sisted upon its advantages for domestic
purposes. Notwithstanding these re-
suits, the new fuel found It's way very
slowly into use, and in 1922 the total
production Of the anthracite mines was
estimated at 3,T20 tons, against As, 900
tons Of the coal from Richmond, yir.
ginia, then its only rival. Fifty years
later, or in 1872, tho official returns give
for the expectation Of coal from the an
thracite region not loss than 10, 900, 900
tons, besides about $500, 900 tons for
local consumption, while TINT Of the
yirginia coal field for the same year Is
estimated ut o., 900 tons, The late Pro-
iessor Silliman, who visited the anthra.
cite region in 1926, and published his
report Of tin the following year, was
the first 10 appreciate the real value and
Importance Of this deposit Of fossil fuel,
which ho then spoke Of as q great M
tiOnal trust.
Tho small detached basins Of the IN.
thracito region have together an area Of
only four hundred and sevanty.two
miles but the immense aggregate thick.
moss Of the seapis Of coal, varying in dif.
ferent parts from fifty to one hundred
feet, and estimated at IN average Of sey.
enty feet for the whole, makes this won.
derful region of greater value than
Western coal fields, whose extent il
measured by many thousands Of square
miles. Mr.. P. W. shaeiler, who has
calculated the cubic contents Of these
anthracite beds, estimates It TO have been
at tho time when mining wus commenced
equal to %, 1851, ,070. 900 tons, from which
onc.half may be deducted for waste in
mining and breaking for market, and fol
losses from faults and irregularities ii

mines from 1920 to 1870, estimated n
