The Anthracite Coal Fields.

At the meeting of the American
Science Association in Saratoga z. w.
Sheafer, of Pottsville, PENN, spoke of
the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylva-
MIA and their rapid exhaustion. He said:
The work Of mining anthracite coal in
that State was begun in 1929 with 1865;
now 10000, 200 tons per annum are pro-
duced. Mr., Sheafer asserted that only
one-third Of the coal goes into consump-
ton; two-tliirds are wasted, lost in the
mines and in preparation. He put the
maximum product at about $4,000, 600
tons per annum. and at the present rate
of increase this limit will be reached in
the year 1900, and in 1876 years, say in
the year 2O65, our. anthracite coal fields
will be exhausted. Then we must fall
back on our bituminous coal area, which
reaches the enormous total Of 200, 600
square miles, say over 400 times the
area of the anthracite. Mr.. Sheafer said
that the competition between our several
coal companies and by them with the
bituminous coal will always keep the
price moderate. He dou btsd if GAa..s.
Britain could -ssn..'s'.tn,Fa ios ho"
vet ut her present rate of increase she
will exhaust her coal-above 1000 fee
in about the time in which our anthra-
cite output will cease. But she has no

Car Peter and the Wig.

Peter the Great was a. half-savage in
his manners. He never had pleasantly
enough to play a joke, though some of
his rudenesses had very comical effect ::
On his second visit 70 town in Hol-
land, he and the burgomaster of the
place attended divine service, when an
Unconscious action of the czar almost
upset the gravity of the congregation.
Peter, feeling his head growing cold,
turned to the heavily wigged chief mag
istrate at his side and transferred the
wig, the hair of;whieL lowed down over
the great little mans ahahlders, to his
own head, and sat so tip the end of the
service, Hl{en. he kreturned it to the in
suited RbIrgomaster, bowing his thanks
The great mans fury was not appeased
till one of Peters suite assured him that
it was no practical joke at all that his
majesty had played that his usual Gus
tom, when at church, if his head was
cold, was to seize the nearest wig he

nets with square crowns and faring
brims, or RabagaS bonnets that frame
the face like halo. The small bonIets
are close >ottage shapes, or are square
crowns and almost brimless, such as have
been worn at Saratoga and Newport
during the summer, and the fayorite
Carmen bonnets with greater breadth in
the back. Other shapes serve as either
a round hat or bonnet, and English
turbans, Derbies and large Tyrolean hats
are all among the new shapes. The
Gainesboroughs and other fanciful, pic
turesque shapes are not by any means
discarded.
All these shapes are brought out in
smooth soft felt, silk plush and fur
beavers, with pile an inch long. Some
times the crown of the hat will be of
silk and the brim of beayer-or the re-
verse, and sometimes felt brims are
given fur or silk crowns, or felt crowns
are seen with plush or beaver brims.
The feather felts which were introduced
last season appear again this season in
greater numbers. and in the delicateecru
and beige tints and cream and pearl
white, which show that they will be
used tor the richest full ll-dress occasions.
The felts, beavers and plushes. come
in the same variety of colors and tints
this season that they did last, or even
greater. The new tints of cloth shades
that are seen in the dress goods appear
in The bonnets and hats, showing plain
ly that costumes will require a hat or
bonnet to match this winter. and at
least an attempt will be made to revive
that fashion. For the new shades, colors
found in felts and other millinery goods,
new names are given. Rembrandt is
a new name for q dark blush shade of
peacock green. A new red with dash
of purple in it is Amnranth, and the old
Egyptian or Pompeiian reds afe now
vieux rouge. Japoniers is a new green
blue, and gendarme blue takes the, title
OF Douariere and duck breast blue,
golden brown lis <c1nG4ue, and the most
fashionabler: shade of plum brown. is
Burgoyne. Old gold is as fashionable
as ever, and the ciel blues and rose
pinks, the beige tints with cream. ivory
and wax white, are all in demand equal
to the supply.
Fancy feathers will be used to excess
again in trimming bonnets and hats.
Whole and half birds. tails, wings, POM
pons, and feather fringes and ruches are
all seen in the millinery stores. Long
gray ostrich plumes of the natural color
are also to be revived, and tips, demi-
long and Mercutio, and willow plumes,
are all to be worn. =,
The fall wraps are for the most part
visites similar to those worn
last spring, but ulsters, round cloaks
and close jackets will be worn as the
season advances. Most of the fall suits

A Smart Wife.

The other morning citizen called at a
hardware store on Woodward avenue
and said he wanted key to a certain
door in his house, and he too9up and
carried away almost the first key handed
out to him. On his way down town af-
ter dinner h. stopped and exchanged the
kew for another, explaining that the ilrst
wouldn't fit. These. changes took place
twice a day for the next four days, the
citizen being unable to get hold OF q key
to fit. On the sixth day he drove up to
the store with a door on a dray, and
calling to the proprietor he said:
"Bring your box of keys out here and
we'll get a fit to that lock. Here | have
been running back and forth for about II
week, and might not have got fit Tor
4 whole NORTH if my wife had not sug-
gested that bring the door down here;
Some of these women are mighty smart. -"
"Put why didn't you take the lock OIL ,i
and bring it down in your pocket?
asked the dealer.
The buyer looked at him in vacant
way, stared hard at the door, and sat
down on the curbstone with the re-
dts a wonder that the whole family
wasn't sent to the bol.house ten years
ago. ."-DeheA Free Hess.

American Honey Abroad.

Twelve months ago no American honey
in the comb was sold in England, al
though considerable quantity was eX-
ported from New York to Europe in glass
Jars. Now the trade is large one, and
the New York Commercial AdUertiSer
tells how it has been worked up by Mr..
Hoge, well-known bee and honey man.
After contriving means to ship the pro-
duct without breaking the combs Mr..
Hoge set himself to get it introduced on
the royal table. Accident suggested n
plan to this end which only American
enterprise would have ever dared to carry
out. Mr.. Hoge, while dining in an Eng
lish chop house in London, took up q
bottle Of sauce, and on the label found
that the condiment was prepared by one
who had been high steward at Windsor
Castle. There's my man." thought
Mr.. Hoge. and away he went in search
of him; ultimately succeeding in obtain
ing an introduction to the inventor Of
the sauce. The merits of the sauce was
of course the first thing spoken of, and
the American praised it to the utmost.
He then said that his. -obisss-;s--vccK'Hg
tia -faruse,--f1gT steward was to intro
duce the sauce into the United States,
where of course it would certainly have
large sale through the New York house
which had sent him to England.
Arran gements were made to have
the sauce introduced here, and
the ex-high steward was in good
humor. This was the time to in
troducc the real object of the visit, and
the American said: Now, | want you
to do a good turn for me. Can you not
get case of American comb honey
placed on the Queens table? The honey
will tell for itselfafterward, as you will
find when I send you case for yorr
own use." Nothing easier" replied
the ex-high steward; 81 am well ac--
quainted with the present high steward
of Windsor Castle, and he will do any
thing request of him." The next day
a case of the best honey was sent to, the
ex-high stewards house, and soon after
another one was in Windsor Castle. The
beautiful couaha Saaere placed 2 on the
Oueen's table: and K er grandchil dren,
tie dnughtersof the late Princess Alice,
were 10 pleasedwith it that the Queen
gave orders that ten cases should be at
once purchased for the use of the castle,
meaning, of course, her own table. The
fact OF this order having been given by
the Queen soon became known through
the enterprise OF the American, and the
London press took up the subject oil
American comb honey. praising it to
the utmost. Even the British Bee Jour-.
nal took hack all it had said against the
honev, and was loud in its praise. The
result was that the American comb
honev was to be found in very short
time on every fashionable" PERSONS
table, and its success in Great Britain
"a, ured. An order has been received to
ship at once 100000 pounds Of the new
crop. to be followed by like quantity

mir is, as Prof. Newton expresses II,
shield to:iprotect us from an otllefrWlse
intolerable bombarding.". One OF these
few has, strangely enough, brought up
an entirely new question OF properly
law in France. One night not very long
since q peasant crossing field saw
nadseor of unusual magnitude, :Which
fcia3with great noise and touched the
Asnnd within few yards of his feet.
hsSyered from his fright, he went to
tHespot and unearthed stone OF con-
Siderable size, which, in scientific Ian,
qnnSoe, is called IN acrolith. 1t occurred
toitile man that what had dropped down
toarinn from Heaven must be rarity
and might have money value. After
consulting the schoolmaster of his conf
! milne, he took the mysterious substance,
of terrestrial operation, to. the !ssou-
dun Museum, and there received in ex,
change for it the, to him, wonderful
sum of S25. Short-lived was his Joy.
Tie proprietor of the field visited by
product of the skies. who lives in Paris,
reaain the newspapers an account OF the
celestial transaction, and strong in
mayim prevailing in France to this
day$that property in land extends from
"heasen above. to hell beneath" in
strueted a county attorney to bring an
action He claimed either the restitu-
tion !6f the aerolith which fell upon his
land; or So, 900 damages, which heJudged
to bethe value of it. The case has not
vet been decided, and threatens TO drag
its weary length for some time to come.
It has, however, been pretty clearly es-
tablished that the damages claimed are
excessive. There is regular tariff OF
TIE value OF aeroliths at the Paris Mu-'
scum, and s25 is a high average price.
Eminent legal talent is engaged on both
sides, and titus far the peasant is beJleFeo
to have the better Of the Parisian.
