CALIFORNIA CoAL.-A San Fran
cisco correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun says:
Foreign ooals are constantly dis
charging at the docks of San Francis
co. Hence the impression that we
have no coal on this coast. Yet there
are few counties in the central and
northern sections of California that
have not regular coal veins. Oregon
and Washington Territory are full of
coal. 1t is all of one kind viz, brown
coal or Ignite, though it varies in val
ne from different mines. 1t belongs
to a.later age than the anthracite and
bituminous Goals of Pennsylvania, and
its commercial value j., so to IS per
cent less. 1t wastes in handling. 1t
consumes quickly, and its ash is three
fold greater.
Usually these coal fields have three
or four veins, the underlying strata
being usually the best. The basins
are not marked by the usual conglom-
crate and old red sandstone forma-
tions, and consequently hunting a
coal mine without any recognized
guidance is a difficult undertaking.
But as a rule, they are found near the
surface. Compared with good oak
wood. one and half tons about match
one cord. But if used only little at
a time, ton almost equals a cord. 1t
decrepltates on the fire, and gives
quickly an intense heat. If piled
thick it packs. 1t is used because of
its price on our river steamers and
on some valley railroads. But lit is
not strong enough" for ocean steamers
and steep mountain grades. Itserves
a useful purpose in regulating the
price of imported Goals. We get a
deal of similar coal of select varieties
from Australia as ballast, &C., and
much Of our best supplies come from
Oregon.

Co-oPERATIoN.-There is an associ-
alton of young people at Springfield.
Mass, known as the Industrial Works,
for the manufacture of toys and house,
hold goods, which has been so success
full during its brief existence of a year
that it is attracting considerable at
tention. All the men who join are re-
quired to furnish small amount of
capital. and save ons.fourth of their
wages for investment in the capital
stock. The women furnish no capital
at the start, but are required to con-
tribute one-sixth of their wages as
their share. The association is gov
erned by board of directors, which
fixes the rates of individual wages.
The members live in one large "home, -
and own two new factory buildings,
with water-power and machinery.
They began business year ago with
FIVE hands, and now have forty-fve.
The success or failure of such cooper
alive societies depends chiefly on the
business ability and honesty of the
directors. There is the advantage OF
lessened expense in comparison with
individual enterprise, but there is toe
often want Of harmony in manage
ment.

lAsSpaohr"~N " hSHeSs,J
WILL IT PAY?-Continuing our remarks
with reference to the fallacy of increased
taxation as an objection against the forma-
tion of a new county, We take occasion to
refer to some showings made in the Annual
Levy Of june last Our figures are as
nearly correct as can be gathered from the
documen: referred to, and where estimates
have been necessary, liberal allowances
have been made against US.
In the first place, we find tie entire as
Ssessment of Afiegany county, exclusive Of
81, 900 900 to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company, to Re t15,s0s,S Glib, divided
as follows:
West Allcgany, tncw county) : 9,ss7 oss
East Allegany, 6,43655O
Total, $l5,7O3,613
We have, therefore, an excess of g., $500
which realizes $22 ,979 more than East Allie
eany, as follows:
Taxes paid by West Allegnny, 1 1903
Taxes paid by East Allegany, 1924
Total, $l2o,427
Of the $12O,427 thus collected, not over
$4,000 is expended in this region, $4,000
OF which is estimated as coming through the
School Board. On the other hand we find
$7OOOO certainly expended outside the coal
region, leaving 1852 appropriated to oh.
jects in which we cannot precisely deter
mine our share Of support, such as Removed
Cases, Jurors Fund, Outside Pensioners,
ETC. 1t is safe TO say, however, that we do
not really get back half of what remains in
the county but, putting 1t at that estimate,
We have for our share sal 1880, while the
eastern part of the county gets $79,213.50.
We have here the astonishing fact of this
region paying fifty per cent. MORE Of the
revenue than the other half If the county,
and getting back fifty per cent. LESS! In
other words, we this year give the other
half OF the county $4,000 for Its invest
ment of $4S, 600, and receive Sal 900 for our
investment of $1,000! BY thus paying
$4,000 lin round numbers) more and OBJ
tanning back $4,000 Less, this coal region
loses clearly and irrevocably $4,000!
Now, If anybody believes these figures
are manufactured let him become at once
close student of the last Annual Levy.
Will It pay, then, to save the greater part
of $61 600? A new county will surely do
it-save it TO the coal companies, property
holders and other taxpayers, and then have
money enough besides to keep things going
as they are! Will it pay, then, to establish
new county? Some people think the IL
diligence of little jealousy of Frostburg
will pay better; it may in sort of satisfac-
ton, but, gentlemen, 1t will still take the
dollars out of your pockets and put them in
the hands Of those who hold not one inter-
est in common with yours. But whether
one town gets the county seat or not, new
county will pay all and pay well

Link buttons are again fashionable, in
place of sleeve studs.
There are bright silk pockets introduced to

Wide square pockets are set on the outside
Linen collars and cuffs viii be greatly

square corners, turned over, but not laid
flat. and the latter round and small The
long reign of rutfies seems partially over at
least for street and home wear Only on
dresses of silk will laces and the finer quail
tiles of ruffiing appear.
The long clOaks that will be worn do
away happily with the extrayagantly large
bustles worn at present. The long slender
hustle that holds the lower part of the skirt
away from the feet will be retained, though
even for this purpose the pleating of crino-
line on the underskirts is preferred The
slope from the waist must be natural look
ing, otherwise the effect of the new dresses
and clOaks is lost.
Embroidery, which was so very much i'm
vogue this summer upon cambric and toilet
dresses, will continue to be in high favor
during the winter, transferred, in much
richer style, to velvet silk and cashmere.
Satin-stitch and open-work embroidery are
now worked as beautifully upon the thickest
and richest of materials as upon the finest
muslins. Embroidery forms a most beauti-
full trimming for fiounces the tablier cuirass
and polonaise. 1t is worked in thick purse
silk, either matched or contrasting with the
material.
Combination costumes will retain their
hold on popular. favor. This economical
fashion will commend itself to those who de-
sire to make a little go great way The com
binations consist of suits of different fabrics
as well as of different colors. Therefore. scant
patterns and partially-worn dresses can be
Used as parts of new suits. Thus the dark

A SchooI-roOm Lament.

/ find ii very hard to feed my thoughts
On these dry elements of English grammar;
Analysis of sentences, forSooth!
Dissecting and connecting, hammer-ham-
mer.
Give me a character to analyze;
Simple or complex, prosy or poetic;
A living, moving, breathing specimen,
With reason sound, or sympathies magnetic!
And all this weary round of figures, too,
To my ill-ordered mind has few attractions;
Addition and division, and the like,
Crushing ones fancies into compound frac-
Put two and two together, and you solve
Most real life questions, whether grave or
But long division fails to prove
How many times is love contained in
money!
Music love, and long for; yet / find
The terms and laws of harmony perpleNing !:
For me, provided that a chord is sweet,
To question why tits sweet, is merely veXing.
rather heed the harmonies oflife,
With deep and varied tones most strangely
blended;
With many and many a dissonance that falls
In perfect cadence, when the piece is ended.
Vanderbilt University expects 500 students
this year.
The study of the French language is said
to be the most popular optional study with
the Junior Class at Yale. Ninety members
of the class have chosen it. while 80 take the
calculus.
The Yale college faculty have spoiled, to
some extent, the ancient practice of study
ing during morning prayers, by introducing
congregational singing and compelling the
students to stand.
The course of study in the San Francisco
schools has been revised, the following
points being aimed at: In arithmetic the
mental work must always precede and ac-
company the written. No new process in
written work should be entered upon until
the pupils have been so well drilled in the
mental operation that the idea of the new
step is clearly seen. Obsolete and useless
subjects have been entirely dropped, and an
| effort has been made to contract the amount
of arithmetical work with view to making
| it more Immediately practical. Text books
are dispensed with to much greater extent
than heretofore, devolving upon the teacher
the duty of condensing the instruction in
this branch and of presenting it to the class
in the simplest and most direct manner. In
| grammar a great deal of attention is paid tc
| the actual writing of good English, and but
| little to the formal and mechanical processes
of parsing and analysis. There has been fol
some time past growing feeling in the de-
| partment that the effect of the annual writ
| ten examinations for promotion was not
beneficial upon the general well-being of the
schools; that it would be possible to make
| the promotion from grade to grade quite as
satisfactorily upon the judgment of the class
teachers and the principals aided by their
records of such examinations as had been
| held from time to time in the classes. Ii
was thought that thus the usual unhealthy
| excitement of the last month of the school
| year might be replaced by steady and regu-
lar instruction, and that teachers and schol-
ars might close up the year in better condi.

The Conscience and Future Judgment.

/ sat alone with my conscience,
In place where time had ceased,
And we talked of my former living
In the lands where the years increased.
And felt should have to answer
The question IL put to me,
And to face the answer and question
Through an eternity.
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight
And tOings that thought were dead things
Were alive with terrible might.
And the vision of all my past life
Was an awful thing to face
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solemn silent place.
And thought of a far-away warning,
OF a sorrow that was to be mine,
In land that then was the future,
But now Is the present time.
And thought of my former thinking
OF the judgment day to be,
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed Judgment enough for me,
And wondered If there was a future
To this land beyond the grave;
But no one gave me an answer,
And no one came to save.
Then i felt that the future was present,
And the present would never go by,
For 1t was but the thought of my past life
Srown INTO eternity.
Then woke from my timely dreaming,
And the vision passed away,
And knew the far-away warning
Was a warning of yesterday
And pray that may not forget it,
In this land before the grave.
That / may not cry in the future.
And no one come to save.
And so L have learned "A lesson
Which ought to have known before,
And which, though learnt it dreaming,
hope to forget no more.
- sit alone with my conscience
In the place where the years increase,
And try to remember the future
In the land where time will cease.
