NATURAL GAS PLAYING CUT.
An Expert says Tint Two years
More VIII Exhaust the Huppiy.

Selwynn Taylor, prominent Pittsburg
mining engineer and coal expert, thinks nat
ural gas Is giving out. He said; within
two years at furthest coal lands viii be SELL
ing for what they were considered worth
before natural gas was thought OF. This
will be due largely 10 the failure OF the gas
fields 10 supply the demands made upon
them. Gas, like oil, viii in time exhaust
itself. New fields may be opened but talk
ing all In all think the outlook for coal was
never so bright since natural gas came in
use. IL |. not published, but all the large
gas fields are playing out. Murraysvillc has
seen its best DAYS, and all the wells ia the
Beaver and Ohio valleys are going. The
prospects for fields large enough to take
their place In case OF total failure are not
bright by amy means. The big natural gas
companies recognize this ~ u fact, and are
expanding thousands OF dollars on process
for making fuel gas. This Is significant.
In my Judgment two years will see an end
Go natural gas ms fuel
This opinion has caused considerable TIM
casincss among holders of natural gas stocks.

Concerning EARLY Aiarriaves.

1t is, l think, an erroneous idea that early
marriages are abundance rather than IL help
to success in life and the mental development
and happiness of the parties. That this is
sometimes the case is true; but believe that
more young men, and girls too, have been
saved from ruin and wretchcdness by an
early marriage than have been ruined, by it,
There is something inspiriting and ennobling
i'll the possession of II home and family TO
work for and beautify, and if the girl and
boy are poor should still say marry young
and work together for the home and the COM
letence, which will be all the more enjoyable
because they are the result of toll and self de
NAL. Don't wait until you can afford to he

Advice to Mothers.

Ii you say "No," mean "No.' Unless you
have IL good reason for changing given
command, hold to il.
Take ;u interest in your childrcn's am,lse-
ncmt,; mothers share in what plcascs them
is Il great delight
lic honest with them in small things, us
we'll as in great. Ii you cannot tell them
what they wished TO know, say so, rather
than deceive them.
AS long as it is possible kiss the children
.ool night after they are i'll bed; they like it,
and it kcrl,s them very close.
Make your boys and girls study physiology;
when they are i'll, try To make them comprc-
hcnd why, and how the complaint arose, and
the remedy, so far as yol know it.
Impress upon them from early infancy
tlla; their actions have results, and that they
cannot escape consequences, even by being
sorry when they have done wrong.
Respect their little secrets; il they have
coilccalncnts, fretting them will never make
them tell, and time and patience will
.tilow them, as they grow older, to have
opinions OF their own, make them individ-
ualS. and no, mere echoes.
Mothers, whatever else yo, may teach your
girls, d" not neglect To instruct them in tho
mysteries of housekeeping. So shall you
