What Allied the Girl.

A prominent and eminent
physician writes to one of the New
York papers that not long since he
was consulted respecting a young lady,
aged 10 whose parents were greatly
alarmed at supposed spinal
affection. under which they believed
their daughter to be suffering. After
an ordinary walk, but more especially
after ascending the hills in the locality
she expressed a decided feeling of
nausea and an amount of pain and
heat over the dOrsal and lumbar regions
extending more or less through the
whole lower extremities, and followed
by an amount of painful WEAKNESS that
wholly disabled her for days after, the
more muscular parts being painful on
pressure. The doctor tells the result
of his investigation as follows:
"My professional knowledge of both
parents and child guided my diagnosis
and prOgnosis of the case. That the
spine was all right and the means of
cure simple, felt no doubt. l order
ed the boots she generally wore to be
brought to me, and found the heels
raised two inches, tapering to the size
of a shilling, and to make matters
worse, instead of corresponding to the
situation of the natural heel, they were
situated Immediately under the arch
of the foot. / recommended rest in
the horizontal position for two or three
days, and shoes with halfinch soles, Of
the breadth of the natural heel and
toes broad in proportion, to be substi-
tuted for those previously worn. The
cure was complete. No nausea, no
WEAKNESS, no pain or discomfort, after
four-miln walk, have been experience
ed since"

What Is Fit to Eat.

Science has its good points, but when
it drops into meddlesome ways con-
corning human diet it might as well be
Informed that its proper place is in n
back seat. After all the time that has
been devoted to the work of teaching
the public what should be eaten and
what should not an English authority
now comes forward in the most frigid
manner and asserts that because some
articles of food supply contain certain
pleasing proportions of nutritive mat
ter it is not to be supposed that the
digestive apparatus can seize upon it
and make the most of it. Evidently
the time has come in which men who
propose to live by eating might as well
begin at once and set all physicians at
defiance In spite of following physi-
clans instructions no man who had
any money to spend ever starved to
death. There is nutriment even in
sawdust pudding, and the citizen who
feels a sense of responsibility to his
inner man cannot do better than go on
eating just as he has done, if at the
same time he devOtes proper attention
to additions end exercise. The prin-
cipal trouble at the present time with
men who have well supplied tables is
not so much with what is set before
them to eat as with the proper disposal
of such portions of the table supplies as
may be indigestable, and therefore
need to be disposed of speedily and
prOperly. En-.

Outlook of the COaI Trade.

fhAduelpna Ledger.
The leading interests in the anthracite
coal trade have made another move
ment looking to continued concert of
action. Some weeks ago they ANNOUNCE
ed a determination to work out three
days in each week during the month
of January, in order, first, to limit
production to about the demands of
the market, and, second, to prevent a
large stock Of coal going over into the
year 1881. By the time the month of
January was half out the first of these
objects was Accomplishment was
becoming scarce, and the weather was
very severe. The orders for coal are
now beyond the ability of the operators
to supply, and in order to prevent a
coal famine, and, what might happen,
oppressive prices for coal, we are in
formed that the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road company the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal company the Delaware,
Lackawanna and western Railroad
company, the Central railroad of New
Jersey, the Pennsylvania Coal company,
snd the Reading Railroad company
have agreed to work from this day for
ward full winter time; that is, six days
in the week and some nine hours per
day, which is about as many hours as
they can work at the mines. With
the weather we have had for the past
three or four weeks, the mining and
movement of coal is necessarily a good
deal interrupted. The coal as it is put
into the cars is wet, and before it is
sufficiently manipulated it is frozen
solid and in order to fI1ther handle II
a hole has to be bored into it and Jet
ofsteam forced through it. All this
causes delay, and when to this is added
the fact of scarcity of cars, the coal
trade has naturally assumed a threat
ening position, and the outlook of the
trade for the remainder of the year is
most encouraging. The indications
now are that little, if any, coal will be
carried over, and that the early spring
business will have to depend almost
entirely on current production. As
compared with the early spring of 1880,
when some two millions or more of
tons were carried over from 1879, tho
marked will be comparatively bare
and, starting SO, will rule active and
firm to the end of the year. AS yet we
hear of no advance in the prices of
coal by the leading companies engaged
in the combination, yet the situation of
the market is such that there is little
doubt an advance of price could be en-
forced if it was unitedly pressed.
