A CUSTOMER

Remarked in our store a few
days ago that no men need go
hungry from it for want of
fashionable clothing. One
of our salesmen had sold him
a suit at S2S and light
weight overcoat at S22, make
and fit equal to custom work,
and was showing him a com
pletc outfit for his wardrobe,
first a Full Dress, then a Prince
Albert, next three and four,

Knights English Serge, a fine
Cashmere, light or dark; also
a Macintosh Rubber Coat, q
MiddleseX Flannel Suit and
Pantaloons of kinds without

light, medium or dark. And
this customer is only one OF
many that express themselves
in like manner.
In our Boys Department
it's an every day occurrence
of customers saying that the
make and fit of the boys
clothing we show are the best
they can find anywhere. And
we know and say that our
prices are low every day the
year round.

A Pleasant Feature in the Streets OF the
Gay Austrian Capital.
Vienna, like Venice. is the home OF
thousands of pigeons. belonging to no
one in particular, but which every
body delights in and many people
feed. They are much more numerous
than sparrows, and. though not Of
choice breed. they are of various
colors, and are altogether a pleasing
feature in the streets. A little bread
put upon the window-sill every day
will attract score of winged visitors.
They are quit tame, and will perch
willingly OH the arm or shoulder OF
those who give them little food.
They roost in hooks and corners round
the tops of houses and public build
ings, where they also make their
ness. Some officials connected
with the ARCHITECTURAL department
of the corporation have suddenly
discovered that these public pats spoil
the appearance of the two town mon
uments. The official report says that
in some instances the finest plastic
beauties and architectural forms are
covered by a regular deposiEof gaano
On the other hand il is l&n'ed ont
that the vagrant pigeons are of no use.
and therefore the authors of the re-
port think they should be caught and
sent to the charity schools and hos
pitfalls to be eaten. There are few
pretty monuments in Venice, too, and
quite as many pigeons as in Vienna.

Figures Sb~wins That the Supply Is Writ
ualiy InexhanstibIe.
The reports of the United States
Geological Survey declare that orr
stock of coal is likely to hold out vet
for several centuries. The area of
known coal fields in this country is
l92. 900 square miles; that of Great
Britain at II 900 square miles and in
Guiding the European fields and ex-
elusive of China, the aggregate an
nual output is 4Ol $50. 900 gross
tons. of which Great Britain furnishes
1871 900, 900 tons. and Germany So O0O..
900 tons, Spain furnishes only l,O0O, 900
tons, and our own country over
1O6, 100000 TONS two-thirds Of
which consist of bitumnous coal. Dur
ing the twelve years ending in 1885
the output of coal in the U aited States
mines increased $4,000. 900 tons, but
we have as yet merely touched the sur
face OF our coal resources and it is
probable that the area of coal fields is
very greatly understated. Thirty
years ago the official estimate was
about 1917, 600 square miles. II we es-
innate g. 900. 600 tons to each square
mile some idea may be gained of the
magnitude of our coal supply. There
is certainly enough to allay all anxiety.
In 1865 the whole output of our coun-
try was only 7 500. OOO tons, about
as much as Scotland produced,
and as late as 1858 coal was
sent from E gland to Boston
and New York for factories and fol
private consumption at IS to $40
ton. But outside the countries men
toned above we should note France,
with 20 900 600 tons annually. and
Belgium and Aus.ro-H Hungary with
over II, COO. 900 tons each. France has
an estimated coal field of 2, OS6 square
miles, Austro-HUngary one of l. 800
square miles. while that of little Bel
GUM is reduced to about $40 square
miles. Two countries that should be
taken into consideration because of
their possibilities are Russia and China.
These have an estimated annual WELD
of 4 600, 600 tons each, but Russia has
a known coal area. scarcely touched,
of 80, 900 square miles, and it is pro b.
able that under the vast ex-
tent of the Pinsk marshes
still further wide deposits may
be found. China also has an un-
known but practically limitless en-
panse of coal area. The provinces of
Che-keang K .nng-Soo, Hoo-Nan and
Shan-Se contain vast areas of coal
lands. Hoo-Nan has n. 700 square
miles of coal fields, principally anthra-
cite, and it is estimated by German
scientists. who have given the subject
strict attention, that there is coal
enough in China alone to keep the
entire world in fuel some hundreds of
millions of years. From these facts
the exhaustion of the coal supply is
seen to be very remote danger in-
deed. and it is very possible that the
coal measures may cons; derably out

TWENTY GOOD RULES.
How to Avoid Dad Luck" with Youn
Trees and Orchards,

Trees and Orchards.
The following twenty rules are self
evident TO most 1ree-planters, who,
for want of attention, break some OF
them, and reminders are therefore
often useful
l. A valuable sort is worth more
than merely Il handsome tree.
2. Good healthy bracing roots are
of more importance than Il symmet-
rical top.
3. The roots should be long and
strong enough, and the top made light
enough, to obviate any shaking.
4. If the roots of a tree are frozen,
and then thawed out of the ground or
in contact with the air, the tree will
be killed.
s. If frozen roots are thawed in COM
pactly-pressed mellow earth. the tree
may be made to live.
6. Manure should never be placed in
contact with the roats when setting
out tree, but used for a mulch or
top-dressing.
Z. Trees should always be set about
as deep as they stood in the nursery,
or two or three inches deeper, to allow
for the settling of the earth.
8. Spread out the roots nearly
equally on all sides, so as to brace the
tree we'll.
9. Avoid particularly any small cavi-
tv next the roots, but fill compactlv
against them on all sides with fine,
mellow earth.
10. Asmall, thrifty tree with copious
roots when set out, will be a good
bearing tree sooner than large one
with mutilated roots.
IL. Watering in dry weather crusts
the surface and does not reach the
roots.
II. Young trees should not be set in
grass lot, or among any crops of
sowed grain; but the whole surface
kept clean and mellow.
Is. Shriveled trees, before planting,
may be made plump by covering for
several days, compactIy, with moist,
mellow earth.
IA. If newly set ones suffer from
drought, mulch the ground about
them, and frequently sprinkle or
shower the stems and bran ches
Is. The roots extend rs far from
the tree as its entire height; clean
and mellow cultivation should there
fore cover circle twice rs wide as its
height.
16 As a general rule. cultivation
should be continued for six. eight OF
ten years from planting. after which
cosely-grazed or lawn-mowed grass
may be permitted, with frequent top
dressing.
H. The amount of manuring or top
dressing must vary with the vigor Of
the trees; young trees should grow
two or three feet yearly, and bearing
ones one foot or more.
Is. Keep an eye to the mature shape
of the tree, and timely remove small,
needless, crossing or crooked limbs.
This will obviate heavy pruning in
after years.
10. Pruning when dormant tends to
impart vigor; but if done when grow
ing or in leaf, it checks growth; and
therefore feeble tree should never be
pruned after growth commences in
the spring. But healthy, strong
growers may be lightly pruned al
either season.
90 Most of the "bad luck' with
young trees and orch ards is the result
of neglecting the preceding rules

better in quality than are those grown

less liable to fungus diseases-black

disorders are mainly averted by care
