mainly owned and controlled by the
same corporations, the amount of coal
produced and transported is limited by
agreement that there shall be no COM
petition in prices, and the price to con-
sumerS is fixed arbitrarily on the first
day of each month.
Now the combination is broken by
the withdrawal of the two tranSpOrta-
ton companies which do not own or
operate coal mines or lands. All
through the mining regions, however,
there are individuals who own coal
lands who are unable to operate them
with profit because they have to de-
pend on the large corporations for the
means Of transportation. This is es-
pecially the case in the Lehigh Valley
region. To these the independent
stand taken by the two transportation
companies will be a great advantage
But the power and the wealth of the
league are immense, and, though the
combination of 1872 has been broken,
the common interests of the mOnOpO-
lists will possibly force a reunion of
all the various companies and the re-
establishment of the league on a new
fOundatiOn.-Cbicago Tribune.

Teaching Blind japanese to
Read.

AN American missionary in Japan
has devoted his attention to the philan-
thropic work of providing literature
for the blind in that country. This
was no easy task, for, although a raised
type could be made without difficulty,
to make a raised type i'll Japanese that
would be legible to the touch required
considerable ingenuity. In the Kata-
kama, or current language of Japan,
there are seventy-eight characters,
which represent as many sounds, and
many of them SO closely resemble each
other and are, beside, so intricate in
their composition as to present diff
| Guilty in the way Of their application
to blind syllabary. which can only be
imagined by students of the language
This difficulty was overcome by apply
ing the Romanized equival Tents (Which
are seldom of more than two letters
each, and never exceed three,) of the
sounds to the foundation of a sylla-
barry.
The success of this system has been
unequivocal and complete. Pupils
learn the new language with marvel
Gus facility, and the Government Of
Japan, it is stated, is taking measures
to have it introduced into the blind
schools and asylums throughout the
empire. 1t is probable that at some
future day the education of the blind
in Japan and elsewhere will reach a
point far beyond that which has been
hitherto attained. There is really no
reason why blind persons should not
distinguish themselves in various ways.
The absence of one sense renders the
other senses more keen, and the blind
are often remarkable for an intelli-
gence and reasoning power not to be
found in many persons blessed with
good eyesight that does not even re-
quire the aid of specUacles. Poll Hall

How He Waters the Plants.

ONE of the most melancholy sights
at this season of the year is the spec
tacle of husband and father engaged
in watering plants during his wife's
absence in the country. He remem-
bers her parting injunctiOns. She did
not tell him to try and have all the
comfort he possibly could while she
was gone. Nothing Of the kind; but
she mentioned with her parting breath
that he was not to leave things round,
and not track dirt into the house, and
not leave the windows open so that
the flies could get in, and not smoke
in the parlor, and not bring a gang of
men home with him, and wipe a knife
when he has done using it, and keep
all the doors locked, and be sure and
water the plants every day. Of course
he does all these things faithfully. It
will make things pleasanter when his
wife gets home. But the watering
plants is sore trial. First he walks
along the path and tries to remember
which ones were to be Watered most.
Then he gets dipperful of water and
pours it all carefully upon the leaves of
aplant, but discovers presently that the
water has not gone near the roots of
the plant, and he starts after more
water with a great deal of energy.
Then he pours a small quantity of
water near great many plants and
incidentally spills some water into his
slipper. When he thinks the plants
are all sufficiently moistened, woman
comes out of the next house and tells
him that he has not put on half enough
water, and that he has watered flowers
and weeds with strict impartiality.
Then she sends him for a pailful of
water which he is willing to get, but can
not find pail until the woman comes in
and shows it to him hanging behind
the door, the only place where he
had not looked. Then he spills water
on the carpet in going to the door, and
knows that his wife will hear all about
it within twelve hours after she gets
home. Then the new mistress tells
him to stOop over and gather a moist,
unpleasant plant in his arms, so that
she can put the water exactly upon
the roots. After while he goes into
the house and sits down, wet, and tired
and muddy, and wonders if he will
have to do it all again next day, and
what makes women like the con-
founded things anyhow.-Pro0ide31ce

A New Cure for Drunkenness,

A WHOLESOME lesson was given to q
drunken husband at Preston on
Wednesday bya justly indignant wife.
A man named Trayner, the keeper of
a clearinghouse, arrived at his home
on the afternoon of that day, drunk.
After Scrimmage" with his wife he
settled himself comfortably on the
floor, and fell asleep. Mr.. Trayner' S
weakness was Mrs. Trayner's opportu-
nifty. Depositing her unconscious hus-
band on the sofa, she placed a night
cap on his head, covered his face with
flour and his body with ashroud, which
she borrowed from aneighboring shop.
Having decorated the shroud with
flowers, she placed two lighted candles
on table in front of the sofa, and,
seating herself on the doorstep of the
house, aroused the neighborhood by a
melancholy ''Waif' for the dead. The
house was soon filled with sympathiz-
ing friends and acquaintance, includ-
ing a police constable, who came to
have look at the corpse. Loud were
the lamentations, when the deceased
man suddenly lifted himself up, and,
with stare that curdled the blood,
and made the flesh of all present creep,
calculated: What the dickens's up,
now?" The grief Of the beholders
was speedily turned into joy, when
they found that drunkenness and not
death had been the cause of Mr.. Tray
ner's insenSibility. The position of
that gentleman, however, must for the
moment have been painful in the ex-
IRENE. Embarrassing explanations
ensued, and the affair ended in ga
general spree. Pail Mall Gazette.

THE Paris Society of Agriculture
and insectology purpose establishing
at Mont Souris a model apiary, bo-
tannlcal collection of all plants likely
to be OF use in feeding bees, a model
equipment for Sericulture, and a col

feeding silkworms.
MR.. LOUIS JENNINGS estimates that
$4,000 a year will go further in Lon
don than $4,000 year will in New
York. A family Of five or six persons
can live very comfortably in London
for $50 week, while the expenses of
a similar household in New York
would be at least 800 week.
