Boys in the Coal Breakers.

An exchange says "In all the coal breakers in Pennsylvania small boys are employed to pick the slate and bad coal from the slides after the broken frag- ments have left the hopper and often single breaker will employ as many as fifty boys. They are little ragged urchins, black from morning till night with the soot of coal, but withal merry, mischievous, bright-eyed little fellows. The law prohibits the employment of any under ten years of age, but it is not uncommon for miner to put his six-year-old boy into the chutes for the thirty cents day he can earn. These little fellows have something of @ pro- tective organization of their own, and play the Molly Mcguire on @ small scale occasionally just to show the power of the strike. Insignificant as their labors appear to be, they have it in their power to stop the work of the whole company from the loft of the breaker to the stables of the mules in the mines below. There is no use of mining the coal if it cannot be lifted to the breaker and sorted by the boys and hence all work ceases when the lads prefer to play. Just now the coal mining companies are in trouble with their boys, for number of circus companies are making the tour of the coal region, and mining must stop while the boys go to the circus, and sometimes for few days afterward, until they have tired of hanging by their legs to trees, walking fence rails and otherwise indulging in limitations of the circus acrobats. When a circus ap- breaches @ mining town the mining company takes steps to corral the boys in the top of the breaker, but usually their quick wit and nimble legs are more than a match for the company"

Decline in American Commerce.

Comparing 1856 with 1879, the ton mage of vessels built in the United States has declined from 469, 1894 to 193, O31 tons. But as this is rather an extreme showing, since 1856 was the heaviest year of the twenty-four and 1879 was much below the average of even the last ten years, we compare the five years -1860-with the last five, 1975-9. The tonnage built in the first period was 1,459, ,980, against 1, IF, ,052 in the latter, showing decline of 352, ,928, or of 5O,- 585 in the average for the five years, or 17.3 per cent In the tonnage built on the New England coast the"e was decline of 3,927, or 35.9 per cent, in the average for 1875-9, as compared with that of 1856-60. In the tonnage built on the entire sea-board, the decline was GA ,520 annually, on the average, by the same comparison, or 57 per cent. in that built on the great lakes the av- craze decline was Is, 754 tons, or SOY per cent; but in the tonnage built on the Mississippi and it's tributaries there was an average annual increase of 52, 641 tons, or 32.9 per cent. The New Eng land tonnage-253,0 GOO in 1856-was 5,874 in 1878; that of the entire sea- board declined from 368, ,69O tons in 1856 to 115, ,68O in 1879; that on the lakes, from GA, 900 to 15, ,00O; that or the Mississippi increased from 36, 790 to 62,- GOO. Not single iron sailing vessel is reported as having been built in the United States since 1871.

Throwing the Hatchet.

In the fourteenth century, the situa- tion of public executioner to the city of Florence became vacant, and as it was 8 place of considerable emolument, there were three candidates. A day was ap- pointed for public display of their several abilities. The first candidate, with 0 knife, cleverly separated the head of the victim from his shoulders. He was out done by the rapid stroke of the second, whose glittering broadsword struck terror into the hearts of the surrounding multitude. The third and least promising, held in his hand a short hatchet, and when the victim was ex- tended with his head on the fatal block, approached him, and in low whisper inquired if he was swift runner, and if he could swim well. On being answered in the affirmative, he desired him to spring on his feet and cross the river The executoner then putting on fierce look, swung his weapon round his head, but instead of making it descend on the devoted creature's neck, struck it with great force into the block Shouts of execration rose from the crowd, and the trembling wretch, astonished at his wonderful escape, had nearly gained the opposite bank of the river before any steps were taken to pursue him. He had scarcely, however, gone ten yards on dry land, when the executioner, taking steady aim, threw his hatchet with such effect that the body continued running some time after the head was off From this rather improbable incl dent, the common phrase of throwing the hatchet is said to be derived.

The Turkeys General,

A certain General, who had earned half dozen decorations in the Turkish campaign, was walking few days ago along one of the streets of Tamboff, in Central Russia, when he was suddenly attacked by ferocious turkey. The unexpectedness of the encounter seems to have entirely paralyzed the faculties of theson of Mars, for although he wore his sword at his side, and might easily have made mincemeat of his assailant, he raised no resistance against the enemy, but shouted for the police. These gentry hurried from every quarter, but were anticipated in their assistance by @ deacon, who, passing by at the time, seized the enraged bird-then futtering on the Generals breast-by the neck, and held him captive till the goroovie and dvornik came up and took him into custody. An owner for the turkey-cock was soon found, and he was charged with culpable negligence in not looking after his poultry. At the tria the evidence adduced added nothing to what we have already stated, and de- fense was raised on the simple grounds that the article of the code mentioned in the indictment did not refer to aeaCueieu hluo, puI ueiely aPpueu to ferocious bipeds and quadrupeds. The magistrates discussed long among them selves the validity of this argument, and at length, amid breathless silence, an- nounced that "State Secretary NikiferofH, as owner of dangerous turkey cock allowed to roam at large, was amenable to the article of the code referred to in the indictment" and sentenced him to pay fine of ten copecks (threepence) or undergo twenty-four hours imprison- ment. A roar of laughter followed the decision of the bench, in the midst of which the solicitor of Nikiferoff arose and gave notice that he should carry the case to the St. Petersburg Court of ADDea1

Nobody but themselves can adequately under stand.

Other opinions pre- vail in Omaha, and the Town Council have issued orders to the Fire Depart ment to drive slowly. In consequence of this order, delay of twenty minutes has cost the loss of the St. Nicholas Hotel and other buildings, "and," ," writes the Omaha Bee, "drove six men and children from their houses at mid night and has caused one deplorable re- suit, by which woman's life is hanging in the balance and her reason tottering on its throne" It is pleasant to note the chivalry of Omaha, which classes the damage to the woman as the one de- plorable result of fire which destroyed the hotel and other buildings and did thousands of dollars worth of damage.

SpOngeS.

Sponges long in use are sometimes af- fected with sliminess, which is caused by the sponge not being wrung as dry as possible immediately after use. When this has once formed, it increases rapid ly. A London paper says that one of the most efectual recipes for cleansing sponges, and certainly one of the cheap est, is 8 strong solution of salt and water, in which they should soak for few hours, and then be thoroughly dried. Sponges should not be left in sponge dish. They should be kept suspended where the air can freely circulate around them. Quick evaporation of the damp ness is the main thing to keep them in good order.

The Prince and sthe GOatherd.

The Castle -, Bohemia. the best of all stories is the one related of the last royal hunting party. In the woods near the Chrastenicer River is grassy clearing where an old woman was feed ing her goats. During the hunt young forester entered this clearing and seeing the amiable looking old peasant, said in Bohemian: "God bless you, Mutterchen How are you to-day?"
 An | how can such handsome young man speak so friendly to an old woman? Yes, it is hard life live, but, God be thanked, I keep healthy"
 els life, indeed, so hard? ?" said the young forester.
 "Yes, my young master; but it would be worse without these two darling goats, who support and provide for my old ago."
 "They are indeed handsome animals. I should like to buy one."
 "Oh to that I cannot consent, especially now when I have plenty of fresh grass for them"
 If pay you well, what then ?" "Then, perhaps, I could let you have the old gray one. It would be shame to give you the young one."
 (" But it is the young one I want"
 "Na, ma, impossible. She gives me seven seidel of milk daily. I couldn't spare her; but the other is also good l; you can have her for four gulden. !" About $1.92.)
 "But will give you six gulden and take the younger"
 "Ye, Gott that is heap of money. Young master is surely not butcher, God bless you; but will the poor goat be well fed by you?
 "Of course, so the bargain is made ;" and he handed her 1O-forin note "Here, give me four forins change.
 "Ah, dear master, you must be fond of joking. In my attic room down there in the valley have hardly ten kreutzers, much less -
 "That is unlucky; but here take the 1O-forin note and in eight days will come back here for the change"
 "Oh, no; I couldn't be responsible for so much money. Keep your note and when you change it bring the money to my room down in c."
 "Here is better offer Keep the goat for eight days longer, feed him well, and so I will pay you the four gulden change as board money for my goat. J
 "Four gulden for eight days No, no, that is too much money, young master. You are really spendthrift. Surely you must learn to be more careful"
 "Ah, little mother, here, take the note. Now expect to hear from me in eight days," and he disappeared in. the thicket.
 The poor goat-keeper called after him in vain. One of the retinue, who had been an unobserved witness to the scene, quieted her at last by assuring her that the young forester would return in eight days. And so he did, by proxy, how. ever, for eight days later, at the very hour of his disappearance, the Mayor oi the village appeared and informed the honest old woman that His Imperial Highness Grown Prince Rudolf, to whom she had sold her goat, desired her to use the ten forins he had left her, and begged her to keep the goat for her own and-"feed it we'll" l Words cannot describe the old woman $ | joy, but all she said was, "A Prince, and not even in 8 golden coat I could not have thought 1t p

The Carving Question.

Experience has shown that it is not absolutely impossible to lead wife to take the duty of carving out of her hus- bands hands. This has been repeatedly done, and the happiness which has thus been secured by reformed and enamel pated carvers is the highest testimony to the value of the scheme. It is neces- sary, however, that man should pro- ceed with the utmost caution and skill if he hopes to induce his wife to carve. He must carefully abstain from making the least allusion to his reluctance to carve, and must, on the contrary, take up the daily carving-knife with an ex- pression of delight Illuminating his countenance. What he has to do to carry out his purpose is to carve badly. Even this he must work up to by degrees, lest he create suspicious in his wife's bosom. He must persist in cutting roast meat the wrong way in preference to the grain, and must haggle and tear fowls in- stead of disjointing them. After alittle while his wife will begin to remark, My dear, yon ought to cut thinner slices" and "Please do be little more careful not to maui those chickens so dreadfully." To these remarks the de- signing husband should smilingly re- ply, "Oh it makes no difference the meat is just as good, no matter how you cut it," and should continue to carve worse than before After 8 flew weeks of this sort of thing the wife's patience gives way, and she offers to try to carve herself, assuring her husband that she can't possibly carve as badly as he does. When this point is reached the victory is entirely gained. In a few days the wife will grow proud of her superiority to the husband, and, stimulated by his judicious fiattery, will permanently re- tain the office of family carver.
 This is the only way in which the bur- den of carving can be shifted from the shoulders of the head of the family. As has been intimated, however, it re- quires great skill on the part of then lest by too much hurry or too ostenta- tious display of bad carving he reveals his secret purpose. Only the importance of the prize at stake can develop in the ordinary man the diplomatic skill and constant self-restraint necessary to se- cure his emancipation.
