What Is the Divided Skirt7

The opponents of the crinolette have
taken advantage of the outcry against
this insdious pioneer of the crinoline
(says the Liverpool lkaiO to bring for
ward the ''divided skirts'' as a candi-
date for popular feminine favor. The
crinolette could not possibly be worn
with the divided skirt. any more than
a man could wear such a contrivance
under his trousers. Viscountess Har-
berton is the inventor of this skirt, her
idea being to consult the convenience
of women in their attire. As she says
herself, the best means of doing this is
to make dress subservient to the laws
of physiology. Women have two legs,
but by tying both together in the sense
less fashion of the day, they practically
reduce the number to one. They leave
themselves two feet to shuttle about
with, but do their best to disable these
with high heels. pointed toes, and that
dreadful invention, patent leather. It
is quite certain that revolution in dress
of some kind is rapidly approaching,
but it appears to be an equal chance
between crinoline aud trousers.

"Gettipg Even" With an Irishman.

Getting Even With an Irishman.
"When I was at SCHOOL, says Col.
Tracy, late clerk to the mayor, ''there
was one boy with whom was always
quarreling. He was an Irish youth
named Barney, and, like many of his
countrymen, he had fair share of
mother wit. l believe I disliked him
mainly because of his wit, which sooner
or later made every boy in school the
butt of some joke. Never shall forget
how tried to get ''even' with him,
and how wofully he beat me with my
own weapons. Laying my plan care.
fully beforehand, l drew Barney into
controversy, in the presence of most of
the boys, upon the comparative bravery
of the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic races.
After a warm discussion, in which his.
tory was largely drawn upon, and much
bantering exchanged, l said:
"'Look here, Barney, we can test the
thing right here. You are an Irishman
and l am a Yankee. Now I will en-
gage to do something here, this mo-
ment, that you will not dare to do
eco ahead! returned he. defiantly,
and the boys crowded around to see the
fun. took large pin from my coat
and deliberately thrust it through the
lobe of my ear, pulled it through to the
head, and then drew it out. 1t hurt
dreadfully, but I never WINGED.
"'There, Barney said I, handing
him the pin; L dare you to do that
Every eye was upon him, but he was
equal to the occasion.
eyes he replied slowly, 4 dare do
it-but I'm not such blasted fool!'
"What shout the boys did raise! l
SUNK away, looking and feeling silly
enough. l had sore ear for many
days. and firmly resolved never again
to outbrag an Irishman.''

England s Coal Supply.

Some twenty years ago good deal
OF satisfaction was expressed in Eng
land when well-known authority as
sur the public that the coal supply of
the kingdom, at the rate it was then
being drawn upon, and after making
due allowances for the increase in the
demand incident to new industries,
would last for at least PIP years. What
Englishmen were to do for coal after the
year 2072 did not appear, and perhaps
the Englishmen of 1903 did mot labor
iously consider, but there was in the
knowledge that coal would remain after
they and their children. and perhaps
their grandchildren and great-grand-
children had gone, sense of relief
from previous anxiety. More recently
it has been found that England's supply
of coal was greater than it was esti-
mated in 1868 to be, but, at the same
time, = the rate of consumption has
increased faster than it was then sup
posed that it would increase. In 1853
about 100000 tons were annually
taken out of the mines in the united
kingdom, and the increase per year had
been for five years something less than
5000, 900 tons per year. Against the
$4,000, 600 of eighteen years ago we
have now an annual output of IA, OO0,.
600 tons instead of about 1873. OOO, 900,
which would be the quantity had the
rate of increase remained where it was
However, the rate of increase has not
been constant. Its average has been
about 3,250,000 tons yearly, but in 1872
and 1873 it was below that, and in 1880
it was far above it-rose, in fact, to 49,
100000 tons, which is the largest in
crease on record. But in spite of all
this there does not appear yet to be
anything like the economy that there
might be in the use of coal. In the
matter of applications, complaint is
made that men are still using it ''waste-
fully and extravagantly." Some pro-
gross, however, has been accomplished,
as in the production of pig-iron, which
consumed, in 1872, 50 hundred weight
per ton, and consumes now only A, or,
in the production of steel rails for use
in the place of iron ones, the steel con-
suming now less than two and half
tons of coal, while the iron used to con-
sumo five tons, or more than twice as
much. Late estimates of the duration
of the British coal supply places it at
250 years, but it is believed that, if all
the economic measures which are pos
sible were carried out, they would ex-
tend this period from 25O to more than
500 years, and would thus carry the
use of coal in England down to the
wear 2381.-N y. Times.

A Wrong Idea.

Many persons having gotten the
wrong idea that hops are strengthen.
ing, have taken to drinking beer and
ale very freely. The consequence is
they feel better for a short time, but
when the reaction comes they are
much weaker than before. Reader,
if you value life, lay aside all malt and
alcoholic beverages and put your trust
in that temperance preparation of iron
and vegetable tonics called Browns
Iron Bitters. It gives real health and
strength to every part of the body, re-
freshes the mind, and restores the
nervous system to its proper place.
Over l,OOO, 900 bottles have been sold

Sheriff Casey had quite an expert
ence over in Cottonwood county re-
Gently. He went to Wndom on Fri
day, Jan. 9th, for the purpose of get.
ting a couple of mortgaged horses. He
found the horses aud got peaceable
possession of them, but he fingered
several hours in order to give Eric Sc.
watson, the banker at Window, who
also had claim on the horses,
chance to replevy them or come to
some understanding looking to settle
ment that would be satisfactory to
both parties. Sevatson however ques.
toned Casey's authority and he en-
deavored to take the law in his own
hands, and while Casey had hold of
one of the horses by the head Sevat
son held on by the tail. While in this
position quite war of words ensued
and Ca Fey drew his revolver and held
it in his hand so as to be ready in case
of al emergency. Sevatson finally
caved and went and got out some IT..
plevying papers, Casey in the mean
time waiting another hour in order to
give him chance to serve them. AT.
ter the papers had been served, Casey
started home, supposing the matter
settled for the present, but after he
had got out ten miles and was putting
up his horses for the right he was ov.
ertaken by the sheriff of Cottonwood
county and arrested on warrant
sworn out by Sevatson on the charge
of assault and battery. Casey was ia.
ken back to Window and detained
there until Monday when he had a
trial before Justice Riis and was &C.
quilted. The justice held that Casey
had been maliciously prosecuted and
accordingly requested Sevatson to pay
all the costs in the case. Seva tson
don't seem to be in very good grace
with the people in aud around Window
and the Justices rulings were received
with many exclamations of joy. Ca.
sey reached home last Wednesday and
has commenced an action against Sc.
watson for false Imprisonment, laying
! his damages at $1,000.
