The Early discovery Of Coal.

Bituminous coal, or sea coal, was known
upwards Of y thousand years ago, In the
year 853, but did not come into general
use until tho sixteenth century, and was
not used in the manufacture Of iron until
the seventeenth century. Anthracite coal
came gradually into use so late as the
nineteenth century, and was not used as fuel
in the manufacture of iron until about six
teen years ago.
10 early as 1890 anthracite coal was
known to abound in the county of Schuy1.
kill, in the State of Pennsylvania; but
It being of different quality from that
known as sea coal or bituminous coal,
and being hard of ignition, it was deemed
useless until the year 1895, when Penn
sylvania blacksmith, named MILESTONE,
brought it into notice. His success in
burning 1t induced persons to dig for it;
but when found, every person connected
with the enterprise had to experiment on
Its combustion, and vain were the at
Temps to burn Il by the majority of them,
and all came to the conclusion that it would
not come into general use.
About the year 1900, Mr. Morris, who
had a large tract Of land H. schulkill
County, Pa, procured quantity Of coal
city, but he was unable with all his he
roic exertions to bring it into notice,
and abandoned all his plans. From that
time until 1906 it was talked about as
humbug; when accidentally a. bed of coal
was found in digginga tail-race for a
water wheel for forge, which induced
another blacksmith, David Berlin, to
make trial Of it. His success was gen.
orally made known, which induced 9TH
ers to try to burn Pennsylvania COAL.

Eating and Dyspepsia.

IT is an old German adage that "more
people dig their own graves with their
teeth than with Spades" and verify it
would seem so if we would look at the
immense number of dyspeptics, rheu-
matte and equity individuals, creeping
through life in pain and wretchedness.
Yet it is next to impossible to induce
even thinking people to control their ap.
petites, and to eat such things and at
such times as nature shows them is
necessary and right. DR.. Hall declares
unhesitatingly that it is wrong to eat with
out an appetite, for it shows there is no
gastric juice in the stomach, and that
nature does not need food, and, not need:
ing it, there being no fluid to receive and
act upon it, it remains there only to putri-
fly, the very thought of which should be
sufficient to deter any man from eating
without an appetite the remainder of his
life. If tonic is taken to whet the ap-
petite it is mistaken course, for its only
result is to cause one to eat more when
already an amount has been eaten beyond
what the gastric juice is able to prepare.
The object to be obtained is large sup
ply of gastric juice: whatever fails to &C.
complish that essential object fails TO
have any efficacy toward the cure of dys-
peptic diseases. The formation of gastric
juice is directly proportioned to the wear
and tear of the system, which it is to he
the means of supplying, and this wear
and tear can only take place as the result
of exercise. The efficient remedy for
dyspeptics is workout door work--ben.
e6ciai and successful in direct proportion
as it is agreeable, interesting and profita-
ble.--Rural NeU Yorker.

effectually conccals the attractions nature
has bestowed upon them as we'll as those
due to the adornments of millinery and

the privilege of tree access to some of the
leading Egyptian harems have informed

Edisi1onesty in his clerks by too, great .
display of jewelry on their part. He was
generally lenient with erring employees,
and never prosecuted them If there we've
any extenuating circumstances. His OBJ
servation was remarkably keen, and he
was quick to observe the slightest :rregu-
larity IN the arrangement Of the different
departments of the store, or any slovenli-
ness In the dress of the clerks. If clerk,
on the other hand, was dressed too extrav-
agantly, Mr.. Stewart often took occasion
to offer q gentle rebuke. As IN instance
Of this distaste for outward display, it
may be mentioned that he was walking
through his retail store one day when q
massive gold chain and locket in the but
ton hole Of one of his clerks attracted his
attention. He stepped up to him and
said: "Young man, if were you I'D
button up my coat on that and, point
ing down to his own plain black silk
watch cord, he added, That is the best
| can afford to wear; take my advice, and
keep that covered upP'
Mr.. Stewart, in the selection Of his
paintings, invariably chose those which
united with large and prominent figure
subject bright and striking colors. At
one time few artists and private friends
met at his house to examine a new paint
ing by Meissonier, which had just or.
rived, having been painted by MIR: Stew
arts order some time before. In the
course of the conversation Mr.. Stewart
remarked that in his opinion the colors
were too light. In reply, one of the gen
tlemen said that Meissonier painted for
the future, that the colors would become
brighter by age, and in fifty or one hun
dred years the picture would be much
more pleasing than if bright colors had
been used. Mr.. Stewards reply was char
acteristic: "But, confound it, I don't
expect to live fifty or one hundred years,
and ]. want to enjoy it now."-N. Y.

Wood Ashes.

IT is good plan for every farmer to
save Ill the wood ashes he can produce
on the farm and to use them wisely. They
are worth at least thirty cents a bushel or
more, and we would not sell them from
the farm for less than forty cents. A
bushel of good hard wood ashes contains
four pounds of potash, in addition to some
soda and . considerable amount Of soluble
SILICA and phosphate of lime. The real
money value Of these constituents is fully
forty cents bushel. It is q good plan to
mix ashes with ground bone in sort of
compost, letting it lie till the whole be-
comes q homogeneous mass. In mixing
ashes with bone you get all the essentials
Of plant food. You get the gelatine in the
bone, together with nitrogen, potash and
soda; what more can you have? We have
for several years recommended that mix.

The Bon Marche.

A Paris letter to the New York World
says: We are at the world renowned Bon
Marche, an establishment which might
put all but the largest of your own stores
to shame. The Bon Marche is giving
concert after business hours to the elite Of
its customers, and the singing, trumpeting,
fiddling and piano.playing are done for
the most part by the employees of the
house. That young fellow who has just
rendered piece from Faust with 50
much taste is the very one that served me
with strip of ribbon this morning; and
YOU will find no end Of similar surprises
in store for you, if you are at all familiar
with the personnel Of the place. NJ. Bouci.
cault, the proprietor, seems to have started
these concerts by way of showing that
nothing comes amiss to the Bon Marche.
You may find everything there. In the
daytime, a picture gallery is open to the
inspection of those who have completed
their purchases of fancy goods. The
politician may at the sau:e time find his
paper in the reading room; and the g0ur-
mand of tender age may be supplied with
cake and sirups, and even wines, at dis
cretion and free of charge, at the refresh.
ment bar. The assistants ought to lead
happy lite. When work is done, q dozen
different modes of amusement are offered
to their choice. They may learn to sing
and play. They may join dramatic
class, and rehearse pieces for future rep
resentation. They may study languages
or science-indeed, almost anything in.
cluded in university course. Once
fortnight they give concert to the Gus
toners, and once year they give ball.
On this last occasion the hosts keep them
selves in one part of the establishment,
assigning another to the guests. Caste
las its laws and its obligations even here,
so many years after the most formal
declaration Of the rights of men, and
many persons who are perfectly ready to
hear linen draper sing might not like
the idea Of joining him in the dance. Tho
odd thing is that invitations for these
novel fetes are much sought after. Bou'
cicault naturally enjoys much influence
among his work people, an d elections
they have been known to vote in body
in compliance with his with. In the
great contest that by its result proved de-
csive of the fate of M. Theirs, the whole
establishment voted for Barodet. 1t has
been said that they did this, not because
their patron was a radical, but, on the
contrary, because he was in the hands of
the priestly party who wished to provoke
reaction against Liberalism by securing
tie return of the advanced candidate.
The rumor is worth giving, with this to
accompany it-namely, that Boucicault
has ever been but = mere man of straw in
. pecuniary sense, and that the true pro-
prietor Of the Bon Marche is the Society
Of Jesus. The Society then has made an
investment in the highest degree credit
able to S astutene<s, for lis reputed shop
is one Of the most Furnishing concerns Of
Paris.

Nothing to Do.

We saw the man who can't find any,
thing to do, the other day. In fact, we
have seen him every day for weeks and
months. 1t isn't that old, feeble and worn
out wreck Of humanity, who drags his
weak limbs painfully along the street.
He couldn't do any work if he found it,
poor fellow, though heaven knows he
needs what the wages of toll would pro-
cure. He Can only beg, now, and hard
enough work he finds to get q living at
that. The individual whom We have in
mind is young man in the vigor OF life.
1ndulgent nature has endowed him with a
hearty constitution, strong arms and a
muscular form. He was never sick a day
in his life and has the use of all his limbs
and faculties; and yet, piteous thought,
this young man can't find anything to do.
We know he can't, because he says SO.
He has sponged on all his friends, and
never has a cent, unless he can borrow it.
When he isn't sitting by saloon table
fondling the handle Of beer mug, he is
standing on some populous street corner,
looking for work, we suppose. The anx-
lety OF that young man for work is some
thing quite touching. But he wants
good JOB, of course. He has been out OF
work for long time, but he is just as
particular now as he was when he first
started out to hunt employment, or pre-
tended to. We have seen him sitting on
the postoffice steps for hours, as if with a
faint expectation that the postmaster
might resign and he be called in to fill
the vacancy. We have observed him halt
in front of q railroad office, seemingly hes
itating whether he hadn't better step in
and inquire if they wanted to hire Su-
perintendent. Work? of course he would
if he could only get good job. Good
jobs are around hunting up just such
young men, too; but somehow they miss
him. He sees people in good easy posi-.
tons, and he wonders why he can't fix
himself that way. He would scorn to &C.
cept any position he considered mental,
and he is too lazy to embrace any oppor-
tunity to perform hard work, and so goes
along from day to day, hunting " stu
ation," as he would tell you, and sinking
deeper and deeper into the slough of con-
firmed lcaterism. There are many whom
this coat will tit.-Nesoark IN. ~ Sunday

The principal causes Of failure to
make seeds terminate are, covering too
deep; allowing the surface to become too
dry; or an excess of moisture. As rule
all the smaller varieties of seed should be
covered about twice the depth of their
own diameter. The seeds of most vari-
ties of flowers, being very small, require
more care than vegetable seeds; and it is
always best to SOW in a seed-bed, all ex-

the weather has become warm and settled,

with board. Sow the seeds thinly on
the surface, each variety in little square

its size. The soil for covering should be
light and sandy, and sifted through fine
sieve; and if the seeds are very small,
carefully sifted over them. Press the soil
down firmly and water once, taking care

THE standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are ScHENcKs PULHoNIc SYRUP, Sch sNcK's
SEA WEED Tonic and ScHENcK's MANDRAKE
PILLS, and If taken before the lungs are destroyed,
speedy cure is effected. .t,-Er ~
To these three medicines DR.. J. H. Schenck, Of
Philadelphia. owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex-
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
slight cough will throw it Of, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schencks Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act
on the liver, removing all distractions relax the
gal1badder. the bile starts freely and the liver 10

Schenck's Sea Weea Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali Of which it il composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup will make good blood then the lungs
heal. and the patient win surely get we'll if care 10

he leaves considerable amount of fertil.

Now, as regards the value of leached
ashes, we regard them as worth from four
teen to seventeen cents per bushel, but
cannot state the precise value, because
some soap.makers will rob them more
than others. You cannot find two speci-
mems exactly alike. Some soap-makers
will manipulate them longer and exhaust
them more thoroughly: but lesched ashes
are cheap fertilizer at about one.half the
price of dry ashes. Let every farmer,
therefore, and every housekeeper Re care
full to save the wood ashes and apply them
to the land in the spring. 1t is better to
use them at home than to sell them to the
soap maker at any. price that he will be
likely to give.-Ploughman.
