Consumption.

Theodore Parker came offs sturdy
stock of Massachusetts farmers, intel
ligent. long-lived, and capable Of contin-
uous toll. But of his nine brothers and
sisters all but ore died of consumption.
Theodore, himself, died of the same dis
ease, at forty nine, though his coustitu-
ton had seemed of iron. But he had
crowded the work Of long lifetime into
less than fifty years, and that toll brought
out the seed-implanted disease. He gave
9 natural explanation as to how the fatal
disease entered into the life of a family
which ought to have been long
lived.
His fathers farmhouse stood on a
hillside, which sloped into q large.
spongv meadow. The meadow was al.
ways wet. The lnists we're heavy nights
and mornings, and thus the seeds OF
pulmonary disease were gradually sown.
Under favoring circumstances they in
variably ripened into death. Mr.. Parker
says
Three generations of stout and long
lived men were born and grew up there;
and if the fourth be now puny, and sink
quicker to the grave, it is from no fault
of the old house, but from the consump-
ton which s%uchspongy meadowsi in New
England seldom fail to produce in the
course of time. Even children, who
have removed to healthier situations.
carry with them the fatal poison in their
blood, and transmit it to their sons and
daughters"

why Preachers Lack Force.

s" AeSSHA -
From an Interview with Robert Col!yer.
"Why do you have SO few ministers
Of originality and force-men who make
their mark as great preachers?" I ask
ed DR.. Collyer.
"Too little life and too much learning,
sir: too little blood and two much edu-
cation. A man makes a great mistake
when he sacrifices life's force for books.
General life increases the power of
thought and good health, keeps It fresh,
and creates originality" was the quick
and earnest response.
"Does Europe or America have the
greatest ministers?"
America by all odds. It has several
superior to the best there is in England.
b old world has not one that can COM
pare with Henry Ward Beecher. He is
the preacher on the planet. If his sup
error ever lived | never heard or read
of him."
Does Spurgeon approach him?"
No, sir. liz no particular, if l can
understand what a great minister is.
Ae lacks the very elements that makes
Mr. Beecher great"
What are they?"
"In the first place Henry Ward
Beecher is the most human man ever
knew. Ae gets lear the beople rather
than above them. His generous bodily
force keeps his great mind bright, ard
fearless. No man will or perhaps an
express himself with tho simplicity,
originality, %eloquence, and courage that
Mr.. Beecher does. The struggles of his
early life may have had much to do With
this and his later successes. They may
rave made him the natural man he Is,
Great as he is / love him for his simple
tastes and his courage. I admire a man
who never gets great enough to refuse
to express his opinion upon small sub
iects. There is a great deal in the SIM
pie fact that MI. Beecher will say in q

How Long Pennsylvania's Coal
Will Last.

The following interesting figures, indi-
eating the length of the time the an
thraclte coal supply ofPennsylvania may
be expected to last, have just been com
piled. The total anthracite area before
mining commenced was 800, 600 square
miles. Allowing ] 900 tons to the acre a
foot in depth would give 500, 900, 600 tons.
Assuming that the depth averages thirty
feet it gives a grand total of 9.nnnnM..
9OOtons. Atthe present time the con
sumption averages about 80, 1000, 0ce a
year. So it will be seen that at the
commencement Of mining operations
the supply was sufficient for 800 years.
About sos, 600 tons. or about seventeen
years, supply, have been mined, leaving
s%utticient tosupply the demands for over
800 years.
