The Education of Girls.

The first mistake in the education Of
girls, and oDe fraught with the saddest
results, is made when they are allowed
to leave childhood too soon. To keep
them little girls as long as possible, and
make them, first of all, what George
Macdonald calls "blessed little ami
mails" is the first step in the right di-
rection. The second mistake Ia permit
ting growing girls to sit in the house and
study when their transparent cheeks
tell of an@mia and lowered vitality.
The third mistake is making the school
life of girls final, when it ought to be a
simple preparation for the intellectual
life of the adult woman. A fourth mis-
take is withholding q knowledge.:of the
laws to which woman is subject In her
mental and her physical life, her place
in nature and the potential character of
her mental status and habits.

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

ELEPHANTS have been known to live
400 years, and it is supposed whales
may live 1000 years.
THE elephant has been known to die
for grief when, in sudden fit of mad
ness, he has killed his keeper.
A sNA1L's head may be cut off, and in
certain time another head will be
formed. At least, SO says Spallanzani.
PRoF. UNTHANK, of Tucson, is alleged
to have in his possession brick taken
from the great wall of China. The
treasure is 4x12xl6 inches, is composed
of gray clay, and is as hard rs granite.
bricks yet remaining in the wall for any
hardy antiquarian who can obtain them,
but as there Is q rigorous Chinese law
against the demolition of the ancient
barrier the only way tosmugglea brick out
of the country is to bring it IN ones hat
II is curious fact that most of the
eminent men who fourished in the
Revolution had ON especial penchant for
widows. Washington married widow.
Aaron Burr's wife was the widow of Col.
Provost of the British army. John
Hancock had an especial taste for
widows, Mr.. Madison took widow, and
SO did Stephen Hopkins. So did Am
bruse Gwinett, SO did Patrick Henry,
aud so did at least one-fourth of ell the
patriots and heroes of the days that tried
mems souls as well rs their pockets.
The Hindoo thief s manner of scaling
walls is very ingenious. 1t is by means
of u huge lizard which lie carries with
him in his nocturnal rambles. The pro-
cess is as follows The lizard, which is,
perhaps, yard in length, with great
claws and fiattened feet and suction
powers like those of fly, is made fast
to the dacoit by tough cord tied to its
tail When the dacoit Is pursued and
comes in his hasty fight to wall, he
quickly throws his lizard over it, hold
ing fast to the other end of the cord
BY means of its suction power the lizard
fassens himself in the wall on the oppo-
site side, and the thief draws himself to
the top and jumps lightly down. By
choking the lizard he is made to release
his hold.

they come to bed of chalk, which they
bore with ON auger, five feet deep. They
then withdraw from the pit before the
auger is removed, and upon its extrac-
tion the water bursts through the aper-
ture with great violence, and quickly
fills the newly made we'll, which contin-
ues full and is affected neither by rains
nor drought. But what is the most re-
markable in the operation is the layer OF

ancient city, paved streets, houses, floors
and different pieces of mason work.
Under this is found soft, oozy earth,
made up of vegetables, and at twenty

chalk is found, mixed with q vast guam

A Historical Gorge.

Among the Capon mountains OF
Hampshire county, West Virginia, is
gorge called Hanging Rock, which
possesses more than ordinary histo-
rical and romantic interest. A mar
row road runs along the side of a
brawling stream, and above it on
either hand the wooded cliffs rise to
height of several hundred feet. A
band of Catawba Indians who were
eneamped in the gap in 1871 were
set upon by party of hostile Della
wares and totally exterminated. A
few years later some providing French
men and Indians fred from an am
bush on Ensign Daniel Morgan, "the
hero of Saltwater and the Cowpens,
who was RAISING through the gap
bearing dispatches to Winchester.
Two soldiers who were with him fell
from their horses dead, while Morgan

rible bullet wound. clasped his mare

DEATH OF Col. BoRDEN.-A brief
notice of Col. Borden 8 death appeared
in our columns last week. Since the
sad announcement then made we have
been able to add the following par
tioulars of his useful and prominent
career: He was born in Fall River,
Mass, July 10th, 1919. After being
educated at Fall River and Randolph
College, he went to New York at the
age of 10. Some years later he was,
upon the establishment of the Fall
River line of steamers, appointed
general agent of the line. This posi-
ton he held until his death, with
the exception Of an interval of ten
years, when the line was under the
control of the Fisk-Gould combina-
ton. The firm of which he was senior
member were reappointed general
agents of the line after If passed out
of the hands of these spectators. In

city Jiews of the Coal Trade.

The paragraphs below are taken
from New York Coal of this week
and the sub-headiugs indicate the stat
us of the trade in the cities named
Nea0 York.-The storm during the
close Of last week has aggravated ali
evil from which both the Clearfsld
and, though to a les, degree, the
Cumberland shippers were suffering
and owing to the inadequacy of the
car supply and the partial blockade,
bituminous coal is getting very scarce
and almost famine is staring US in
the face.
Those of the Cumberland compan.
les who ship by canal are met by
another difficulty in the shape of an
advance in freights, due to scarcity
of vessels from Georgetown, of from
Is to 90 cents. During the last few
days 81 40 has been paid to Hoboken,
$l.55 to the Sound, and SITS to Bos-
ton. This may have the effect Of re.
ducing canal shipments. There is
also, though in more limited de-
gree, rising tendency in freights in
Baltimore. We quote S4.60@$4 .65,
nominally for Cumberland, and $3.50
@4.60 for Clearfield.
Chicago.-It is quite serious ques-
tion with some dealers who have con-
tracted to deliver large lots Of Eas-
tern bituminous Goals in October and
November, as TO how they will be able
to gil their orders on time. A mod
crate amount Of Cumberland is now
received, though not as much as it
was expected would come here after
the settlement Of the labor difficulties

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
Heroes Ofthe Plains.

In American history there are
no more interesting figures than the
Heroes of the Border. Bold, dashing
adventurous and patriotic loyal to
friends, to country and to the interests
of society, their work was singularly
effective in the advancement Of wes-
tern civilization. With seeming
recklessness, their efforts we're in the
interest of law and order, and the
people owe them debt of gratitude
they do not forget. Their page in
history is as fascinating as it Is hon
orable, and there is a peculiar pleas.
urs in reading the narrative Of their
wonderful exploits. Among those
whose careers were singularly adven-
turous, are Kit Carson, Wild Bill,
Buffalo Bill, Capt. Payne, Texas Jack,
California Joe, Capt. Jack and others,
whose achievements have made them
Justly and widely famous. They
have a warm place in the hearts OF
the people, and prominent one in
their admiration. 1t is appropriate
that their achievements should be
recorded, and we note with pleasure
the forthcoming of new book from
the press Of N. D. Thompson & Co.,
New York and st. Louis, called "IHs
Heroes of the Plains" covering the
ground of border history. 1t is pro-
fusely illustrated with 100 engravings
and l6 colored Autograph plates. 1t
is sold by subscription through can.
wasting agents, and presents an oppor-
tunity to agents to make money ss-
pecially inviting. We advertise it
in another column.

addition to the Fall River line of
steamers the firm were general agents
of the Fall River Iron Works and of
the Borden Mining Company of Mary
land. Colonel Borden was one of the
first members Of the Union League
Club, and was also member of the
New England Society, of which he
was president in 1875 and 1875. He
was director of the Fall River Line
of steamers and member of the
Chamber OF Commerce, of the Ameri-
can Institute, and of the Historical
Society. In 1916 he became colonel
of the Eighth Regiment of New York
State Militia. Col. Borden was al
ways staunch Republican, although
he did not engage actively in politics.
He was senior warden Of the Church
ofthe Holy Apostles, at Ninth avenue
and Twenty eighth street.
Col. Borden and the late Mr.. A. G.
Greene were of nearly equal age, and
came together early in life. Intimate
social and business relations followed,
terminating only with the death of
the latter Last winter. Thorough con-
fidence and accord were felt and sus-
tanned by mutual integrity of feeling
and conduct. 1t fell to Col Borden 8
lot to testify the last act OF friendship
by visiting and standing by his dying
associate. A striking circumstance
in connection with this brief recital
of fact. is that Col. Borden died on
Mr.. Greene's birthday.
1t il not known whether his death
will effect any changes in administra-
tive affairs here at the ocal works,
though it is sincerely and & enerally
hoped not. Mining operations were
suspended several days as mark of
respect, and Mr.. @. A. Greene stten-
ded the funeral.

WHEN corporation created presumably

WHEN a corporation created presumably
for the public benefit IS given unusual
powers and they are used to Cypress the
people in cruel and grasping manner, il
is the duty of the peoples representatives
to adopt such judicious measures as will
secure to the people their full rights y
If citizen is oppressed by a creature OF
the State--to wit, corporatlon-he should
have proper relief A citizen, who is a
part of the State, has rights which should
not be infringed upon hya creature OF the
State.
The above is The language of New
York statesman. Were he in ALE
gany county, either during suspen-
sion of mining or a local political
campaign, such utterances would place
him before our affectedly virtuous cor
poration devotees and parasites as a
communist, and before those who care
nothing for the workingman but the
almighty Dollar" he makes, as a
resident who should be put down and
kicked out. So that it really costs
something to maintain the truth now
as it did among the Phillistines of an
cient days.

ct the mines. Manufacturers are
larger buyers than formerly, and the
soft coal market may be said to b
fairly on the upward turn.
Boston.-There is little to be said
as to bituminous coal there is con.
siderable coming along, but the
amount outside of old contracts lie
small. The market is, however,
6rmer. than in anthracite lines; for
there is less pressure to sell, bec auss,
with the scarcity of cars, some Of the
companies represented here are trou-
bled to fill orders at hand. We think
Eastern trade is paying triAe more
for bituminors coal, especially Cum
berland, than fortnight ago. There
is nothing new in gas and provincial
Goals.
Philadelphia.-The bituminous bus
iness is fair and active. The COM
plaint about the scarcity of cars con-
tinues, and to this is added the fear
that the heavy rain of Friday and Sat-
urday have impsded shipment from
the mines. 1t is only fear, however,
as nothing definite is yet know as to
the extent Of the storm on the roads
about the mines, though it is pretty
well settled severe than right here in
Philadelphia. 1t is safe to predict
that the moving Of coal from the
bituminous region wi II not be serious
ly impeded, and were it not for the
trouble in getting sufficient number
Of cars. the people in the trade would
be in satisfactory frame of mind.
The Coal Trade Journal reports
that "bituminous coal is quoted as
active, and the operators in all the
varieties are reporting more business
being done rates are not improving,
but the better qualities Of coal find a
market at the full rates, while thu
inferior grades can only be disposed
of at cut rates. We have the tonnage
TO end of last week, and there is {
slight improvement in both Cumbsr'
land and Clsarfeld. The other dis
tricts, which were so active wher
Cumberland was idle, appear to b'
feeling the effsot Of resumption il
that district. There is no likelihood
of any further strike in the Cunber-
land district, and the special police
have been discharged. Clear6eld
operators and representatives com
plain of an insufficient supply of oars
and coal not at all in amount sufficisn
for regular orders"
The same paper also says "a nu
merous clique is of opinion that Goa
is cheaper relatively than many othel
commodities, and as a necessary conse
quence, it must and will rule higher
than it does at present. We giv'
this opinion for the consideration o
our readers"

A CUMBERLAND HOTEL BURNED
The Centennial Hotel, formerly the
Potomac House, in Cumberland, was
partly destroyed by fire Monday
night. Basil Gsrlitx is the proprietor,
and the building is owned by his wife.
Most of the furniture was saved,
though much of it was damaged.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
building, which will more than cover
the loss. Owing to the bursting Of
the city water main there was great
difficulty in e1tinguishing the fire.
Many other buildings were threatened,
but none damaged.

How PEOPLE TALK.--Most people
talk nonsense when they are idle.
The human brain is naturally viva.

men of sense. Sensible people talk
about the weather when there is nc
sense in talking about it, just as natur'

unengsged. For instance we heard 6
