An English newspaper, noting the fact
that Pennsylvania anthracite coal has
been introduced in Italy, selling for $7.72
per ton, and yielding equally good re-
suits to iron founders who use it as Eng
lish coke, which costs them $1l.5S per
ton, declares that the anthracite coal will
probably supercrde the use of coke. Over
100000 tons of English coke are now an
nually sent to the Mediterranean ports.
The English journal adds: perhaps at
some future day the Americans will be
good enough to try the experiment of
supplying the British householder with
coal fit for domestic consumption at a
reasonable cost. Our own coal merchants
have hardly succeeded in their enterprise. "

In A Refrigerator.

Chris Larsen's little son was playing
around a refrigerator the other day, and
get into it tor fun, when the door swung
shut, and the fun was over. The boy
could not get out, for the lock has the
knob OH the outside, and the best thing
to do WAS to shout for help, which the
little fellow did with all his might. But
nO'help came, and after calling and crying
until he was tired out, he laid down in
the ice box for while, and thought he
would call no more until he heard some
one about. Still no one came, and the
time seemed long, and the cold was grow
ing more severe. At last the child be-
lieved he should die unless he soon had
help. and he thought the only thing he
could DO was to pray for help to come.
So he managed to get upon his knees,
and after saying the Lords Prayer,
prayed that some one would let him out
right away. After praying he began to
call and cry again, and lady going by
there heard him, and rescued him from
what was fast becoming pcrilOus posi-
tiOn.-ROne0ut Courier.
