According TO the London Times, the coal
mined in the United Kingdom in 1881 ex-
ceeds the product of 1880 by 1000, 600
tons, which was largely in excess OF any
preceding year, amounting to lac, SIS, 922
tons.

Diluted phosphoric acid should invari
ably be tested for arsenic before it is used
in medicine. When made from commercial

the slightest test for arsenic.
Balloonists have unique method OF
taking " soundings" to learn their distance

compute the hight of the balloon.

cause accidents more or less disastrous.
DR.. H. Grouven has devised a process
for obtaining ammonia from waste nitro

If this vapor is passed over an argillaceous
earth heated to redness, it is decomposed
with the formation of ammonia.

A French journal recommends fire test
for determining the quality of seeds.
Samples are placed, one at time, upon
live Goals. If the combustion is slow and
quiet, it may be safely decided that the
seed contained diseased germ but if
the seed turns and leaps about, producing
a dry sound, it may be inferred to have
good terminating qualities. The good
quality of larger seed, such as acorns and
chestnuts, will be indicated by detona-
tion of the seed, soon after being thrown
into the fire.

ACROSS THE STREET.


When dawn was lighting the rosy heaven,
At four in summer, in winter seven,
Ere Phebus g!owed,
Or yet the city had turned in its bed,
There by the window, with needle and thread,
She sat and sewed.
And, as the hand 50 busily piled,
A baby boy played soft by her side
The whole day long;
And sad and sweet in the evening mild
We're heard the voices OF mother and child
In gentle song.
Mid toll and trouble and dire despair,
The childs smile solaced the mothers care
Thro' dreary years;
For the little one had its fathers face
That faded away from her fond embrace
With burning tears.
But there came day when the song WAS still,
And the needle stopped at the window sill,
For the babe was lJw;
And there came day when the boy was dead
Aud cold and pale in his little bed
Where the violets blow.
No longer the woman sits and sews,
No longer the tear OF sorrow flows,
Or memories throDg;
For the gentle tones Of mother and child
Are blended again in the evening mild
In angel song.

MARRIAGE BROKERS.

In large double psrlor of an old
fashioned house in once fashionable
downtown street, an old gentleman with
white mustache and a spare thatch Of
white hair on his head, sat at table op-
posite younger man, with bushy brown
hair and mustache and imperial. Two
large piles of circulars lay on the table by
some bundles of cards printed in English,
French and German. There was very little
furniture. Four chromos gave ques-
tionable adornment to the walls. On
round table in the back parlor were two
large photograph albums-one of them en-
tirely empty and the other containing half
dozen photographs of young women.
The two gentlemen spoke with foreign ac-
cents. They were waiting for bachelors or
maidens. They constituted the National
Matrimonial Alliance Bureau, which has
been organized in this city for two months
past. The promoters of this benevolent
enterprise have been engaged in business of
similar kind in Vienna, and have under
taken to reproduce here matrimonial ex-
change such as has existed in Berlin,
Paris and London for years. Their pur.
pose is "to facilitate acquaintances be-
tween ladies and gentlemen as a means to
lead to happy matrimonial alliances"
A reporter who thought he might pos
sibly desire to undertake ga happy matri-
monial alliance called at the office OF the
bureau.
"How ia your bureau conducted ?" he
asked, bashfully, of one Of the managers.
mot only respectfully, but with great
circumspection, discretion and delicacy.
We seek to engender confidence in our.
selves as mediators, and we promise happy
results"
81 want wife, for instance"
The affable mediator opened the empty
album, closed it quickly, and opened the
other one at the tintype Of a healthy. look
ing Chicago girl who wants husband. She
is % years old and large for her age. The
other pictures in the album were of fair
German girls. All of them were Of modest
faces and comely.
"You want a wife," the broker con-
tinued. "You pay So and register your
name, address and business. | look up
your reference and put your photograph
in the album. Then you pick out by the
pictures the girl you think you'd like to
marry. She looks at your picture, and, il
mutually agreeable, you meet here on Sun
day afternoon. II the promises of the
photograph are made good in person, you
Two are lett TO conduct your future nego-
tiations as you please, and you pay me one
or two per cent. on the money you give
your wife or the dowry she brings you.
See? ?"
"Do you find that the people who coma
to you have much money"
mot as a rule"
"Who are they ?"
People of all sorts"
1t was noteworthy that the photographs
on file were all of young women. Sepa.
rate days are set apart for men and
women to call, and woman is in charge
of the rooms on the days that the women
may attend. Negotiations may also be
conducted by letter, and correspondence
may be carried on in almost any modern
language. The managers appear to be
perfectly honest in their expectations that
their matrimonial enterprise will thrive in
