you to make light of such subjectr'
Then he tried it, and while he held
her hand she explained to him about
the muscles of that portion of the hui

at is remarkable how much you
know about those things" said Mr..
Budd-"really wonderful. Now, for
example, what is the bone at the back
of the head called ?"
"Why the occipital bone, Of course"
"And what are the names of the
muscles of the arm?"
"The spiralis and the infra-spiralis,
among others"
"Well, now, let me show you what
l mean. When I put my infra-spiralis
around your waist SO, is it your occip-

Coal MINING will always be the
great mining industry of this coun-
try, and the next six or eight years
will see such a development of this
business as has never before been
witnessed. Immense fortunes will be
made, and companies innumerable
will be formed and though coal
lands and mining are as safe and le-
gitimate IN investment as any real
estate, yet those who purchase them
in the wild manner in which 80 many
invest in gold or silver mines will
undoubtedly lose their money. They
