Coal Near Milan.

A few days since, while boring a
well on the farm of his mother, four
miles north of Milan, Mr.. John Nc
ALLEY struck good quality of stone
coal at a depth of sixty feet from the
surface. A Pennsylvania gentleman
who examined it said it was superior
grade of coal. The we'll is on a hill,
one of range of hills in that part of
the county, about half a mile from
the l. G. railroad. We hope tho
rough examination of the locality will
be made, to test the question whether
there is sufficient quantity there for
mining. If there is, it will be a big
bonanza to this county.

Sunlight and Human Health.

For some considerable time past the
Astronomer Royal and his assistants
have been weekly reporting the signili-
cant fact that the recorded sunshine
during the seven days has been. upon
an average, nil Prima facie it is only
photographers who need be affected by
this intelligence What can it possibly
matter TO the world at large if there is
not sunshine enough about to discolor
a piece of sensitivized paper? As a
matter of fact, however, the discolora-
ton of sensitivized paper is but one of
the many processes due to the chemical
energy of the sunlight. And a pro.
longed absence of sunlight is a very Sc
rious matter. Its effects upon the
health are direct and perceptible. We
get no ozone, and we become duh and
listless, as if we had been sitting up all
night. When thus out of tone and be-
low par, we are consequently deficient
in that vital energy which would
otherwise enable us to shake off any
ordinary ailment Nor is this all.
Absence of sunlight for any consider
able period is almost invariably follow
ed by epidemic outbreaks. When the
sun is active, filth of al kinds purifes
as it collects. When there is no sun
shine the 9Th collects, accumulates in
masses, and ferments. These fermcnt-
ed accumulations are a source of posi-
tive danger as soon rs the sun resumes
its activity Decomposition under
bright sun is comparatively harmless.
slow decomposition in the dark is e3-
pecially hostile to health. We need no
chemist to tell lis this; but, at the same
time, it is as well to bear the chemistry
of common life in mind. When the
Astronomer Royal reports total alb
sence Of sunshine we ought to be es-
pecially careful, and, it may be added,
children suffer more from the absence
If the suns rays than do adults
Adults have only tokeep alive; children
nave to keep alive and to grow, which
entails a double amount of chemical
work. Now, if there be no sunshine,
we can best supplement its absence by
exercise. And yet, strange enough,
The absence of sunshine is regarded by
most mothers as a sufficient ground for
keeping children within doors 1t is,
IN the contrary, the very reason why
hey should be sent out and kept out
Is much as possible.-London Observer

What TO DO with Our Girls.

The theory that girls exist merely as
lay figures to display fine drapery and to
look pretty is not entertained among half
civilized or savage tribes or nations. The
eccentric notion still prevails throughout
Asia, Africa and some parts of Europe
and America that they are born to labor
In Turkestan and on the Tarter steppcs
the Kirghese sultanas and their daugh-
tiers and princesses in whose veins flows
the blood of long lines of kings, still
milk the sheep, COWS and goats, and per
form the mental offices of the household
as the Sanscrit maidens did G,000 years
ago in the same localities They cook
take care of the children, make garments,
cure the skins of wild fowl with the
feathers on for caps, spin cotton, weave
cloth and tan leather by means of sour
milk.
In this delectable region the mother
wears rich attire, while the daughter goes
in humber weeds like Cinderella. If
there is piano, the mother plays on it
in the front room of the tent while the
daughter brcws the koumiss, stews the
mutton and broils the camel chops in the
back kitchen This is the benighted
condition Of patriarchal people who adj
here to a nearly obsolete theory of flial
duty.
Similar ideas prevail throughout India,
China and among the native tribes Of
Siberia, who have been driven northward
by aggressive neighbors.
The Tungusian girl gathers the snow,
melts it, makes the tea and the fish soup,
sews, and, being skillful at archery, helps
to keep the larder supplied with game.
The Yakut and Samoyede maidens, and
all those who dwell along the Arctic
Ocean, help in summer to lay up winter
supplies, and in winter to perform all
necessary domeftic duties
The Abbyssinian girl grinds corn in the
simple mills in use in that country. The
Kafir girl weavcs baskets and draws
water
The girls in other parts of the dark
continent pulverize the grain, weave mats,
make earthen vessels, and are the hatters
Of their tribe The theories Of the tribes
and nations of Asia and Africa are shared
by the Indians of North and
South America, who compel the young
girls to learn the duties and hardships Of
life at an early age.

Dutch customs.

In Brock, no one enters house by
The front door, nor is any one seen at
the front window. The front of the
house is where the best 'parlors" are
which are sacred to cleanliness and sol
itude. Irving's description of such an
apartment is rigidly true: "The
mistress and her confidential maid Wis
it it once week, for the purpose of
giving it thorough cleaning and put
ting things to rights, always taking
the precaution of leaving their shoes
at the door, and entering devoutly in
their stocking feet.
AFTER scrubbing the floor; sprinlSling
the floor with fine white sand, which
was curiously stroked into angles and
curves, and rhomboids, after washing
the windows, rubbing and polishing
the furniture, and putting a new bunch
of evergreens in the fireplace, the
widow shutters were again closed to
keep out the flies, and the room care
fully locked up till the revolution of
time brought round the weekly clean
ing day"
The people of Brock always enter
houses by back doors, like so many
burglars; and to insure the front
door from unholy approach, the steps
are remoTed, never to be placed there
but when three great occasions open
the mystic gate, and these are births,
marriages and funerals;so that TO enter
Dutchman's house by that way is
indeed an event. "--Ayt Journal

May %, 1888: II have used Hunts Remedy
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense rain in the kidneys and
lons, and urination was accomplished with
the g eatest of agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicine, and although better at times
she would grow worse again. She was Obliged
TO use the uIinal as many as fifteen times IN
a night, and was growing worse daily. AZ
this time my attention was called TO Hunt
Remedy, and concluded to try it; and after
using one bott'e she was a good deal better,
the infammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. 5he began to gain in appetlte
and fe't no pain in the back and kidneys,
She could attend to her household work
without pain, and this had been great
burden to do, even the lightest kind of work.
After using six tottles she was completely
cured. Since then | have had occasion to
