Sir Henry Bessemer says that last
year 154, 1S4,300 tons of coal were
mined in England. This IS suffi-
cient to make a wall 200 miles long,
100 feet high and AZ feet thick, a
mass which exceeds that of the cele.
brated Chinese wall by sufficient to
add 340 miles to its length. 1t would
construct ffty.five pyramids as large
as the great pyramid Of Egypt, or
more than one every week. II will
be curious to know how long the en-.
ergy born of the combustion of this
mass annually will require to ex-
haust itself.

HIS MOTHERS TOUCH.

DIR. Franklin denied the existence of
such sense as parental or filial instinct
He based his conclusion on his own ex-
perience--at the time hevisited his moth
er. after years Of absence, and the old la
dy did not recognize him, though at the
intercession Of her gentlemen dodgers,
with whom he spent the evening the
stranger" staid all night. Belief in
such ou instinct is, however, pleasant
one, and the evidence at least probable.
Frank Moore relates this affecting in
stance Of dying sons recognition Of his
mother:
In one of the fierce engagements near
Mechanicsville, Young Lieutenant of a
Rhode Island battery had his right foot
so shattered by fragment OF shell, that
on reaching Washington after one Of
those horrible ambulance rides and a
journey of a weeks duration, he was
obliged to undergo amputation Of the
leg. He telegraphed home, hundreds Of
miles away, that all was going we'll, and
with soldiers fortitude, composed him
self to bear his suffering alone.
Unknown to him, however, bis mother
who had read the report Of his wound,
was Fastening to see him. She reached
Washington about midnight, and the
nurses would have kept her from seeing
her son until morning.
One sat by his side tanning him, as
he slept, her hand on the feeble, fluctua-
ting pulse. But what woman's heart
could resist the pIeadings Of mother
then? In the darkness she was finally
allowed to glide in and take the place al
bis side.
She touched his pulse as the nu.se
had done. Not aword had been spoken;
but the sleeping boy opened his eyes and
said:
''That feels like my mothers hand;
who is this beside me? It IS my mother.
Turn up the gas and let me see mother. !"
The two dear faces met in one long,
joyous, sobbing embrace.
The gallant fellow just twenty-one
had his leg amputated on the last day Of
his three years service, underwent
operation after operation, and Mt last
when death drew nigh, resigned himself
in peace. saying. "Ihave faced death toe
often TO fear 1t now"

The value of this ensilage food is equal
to timothy hay as one is to two. One
ton of timothy hay is equal TO two tons
oil corn fodder. II ton of hay is worth
$50 90, ton OF corn fodder is worth
$40 90. Now, my simple proposition is
that all the arabic lands of this State
should be divided into two parts--one in
corn fodder and the other in the present
uses the land is put to. This would give
us Z, 1900, 600 acres Of corn fodder, which
at 10 tons per acre. would amount to rs,
600, 600 tons, which would pay the farm
er 800 90 per acre for his crop. The
value Of the crop in this State, at the
price named, would amount to $3.50, ,000.-
900 90, and this would be represented
by oxen, COWS. sheep, butter cheese, and
milk. Icannot think that the land would
bear less than 10 tons Of coru fodder to
the acre--and perhaps double that-and
every farmer with 100 acres OF corn fod-
der would have the representation OF
$4,000 90. 1t would be his business to
turn his corn fodder into stock, orbnt.
ter, or cheese-and so long as beef, mnt.
ton, butter, and cheese, hold their pres.
ent prices, his income should be 800 0C
for his land per acre in corn fodder.

OUR DAILY BREAD.


These words in careless mood read, "
In careless mood turned away,
But still in eYerv thought and deed.
Through every moment of the day,
There rang these words that had read:
"Give US this day our daily bread"
Give us. o Fatheri we are poor;
OurstrOngest efforts naught avail;
We know by sad and weary toll
That thy strength only can prevail.
We bring no gold. but cry instead,
''Giye us this day our daily bread
Not food for others. Lord, wa ask,
To-day our thoughts are bent within;
We hungry are. and at Thy throne
Repentant fol- each bitter sin,
Behold We pray as Thou hast said,
"Give us this day our daily bread"
Our Yesterdays of sad or bright
Are passed forevermnre away;
Tomorrow in Thy hand we leaye;
But with an aching heart we pray,
Because we hunger to be fed,
''Giye us this day our daily bread"
We cannot live ON future food,
The bread Of yesterday Is past;
We need new strength each hour we live
Aud so to Thee we come at last,
And ask that we this day be fed
With helpful, needful daily bread.
Tho way is rough; our strength doth fail
We need thy food to make us strong;
For bread of heaven to hangry hearts
We earnestly desire and long.
Thy children guide us Thou has said,
Aud give us, Lord, our daily bread.

Enred nv Fasting.

Henry CLARK by name, recently COM
pleted a forty-one days fast, which be
Undertook in the hope that it might
restore his mental faculties. S~ingularly
enough, that result is likely to follow,
in the opinion of the attendants at the
asylum. The man was watched day
and night, and every effort was made,
short of violence, to induce him to eat,
but the evidence is pretty conclusive
that for forty.one days nothing went
into his mouth except air and water,
and only six quarts OF the latter. Hi
condition varied considerably at differ
ent periods of the fast. Ga the forty
second day he asked for and drank 6
cup of coffee, and thereafter for q fort
night has lived upon a simple vegetable
diet, consisting principally of strawber
ries and milk. It is confidently ex
pected that he will be discharged as {
cured patient within a short time. JUS
what share the fast has had in his re
covery it is of course impossible to say
but the case is one of interest to tn
medical profession.
