Several CoIlieries at Work Again-Cost

Several CoIlieries at Work Again-Cost of
the Strike
READING, Jan. 27.-While there are no
signs of a general disintegration among
the Schuylk1ll striking miners yet, there
are visible evidences that they are not as
solid as they We're week ago. They
have already virtually broken away from
the railroaders and there are now several
small individual collieries in operation.
The miners have published reply to
President COrbin, in which they say they
are striking for continuance Of the
per cent. advance. As the individual
operators have all along agreed to give
this per cent. advance there is nothing
left for the miners to strike for at these
mines. This leaves the company alone
to fight it out with its miners. It is esti-
mated that the four weeks of the strike
have cost the miners and the operators

CHAPTER xI.-TRANsPLANTED.

Drearily the days dragged on to Valerie
Herbert. All the things that made up her
happiness hitherto had lost their charm.
She was restless and dissatisfied, longing
for change and anything to
escape this dull, stagnant life. She had
tasted the wine of the world, and there
was no going back to the old life with the
old content. She had tasted too, q yet
more intoxicating draught; and song of
birds, and shadow of woods, and sunny sky
could no longer satisfy her. Not love yet
not the love it might come to be when
heart and mind, and all the germs of the
rich, impasSioned nature developed into
more perfect life; it was the promise of
spring to the fullness of summer; heart and
imagination dazzled, captivated. The girl
did not even whisper to herself the word
'loye," but Max Beauregard filed all her
thoughts. She cherished with utmost care
the flowers liz had given her. She even
selected few and put them in little en-
broidered bag, and hung it round her neck
by means of silk ribbon. And all this
she did without an idea occurring TO her
that any disloyalty to Louis was implied
IN this loving care of another mans gifts.
She watched the papers anXiously for
news of the troopship III which the til
had sailed; and the very name of the ship.
when she met with it, made her heart
beat. But she kept her own counsel, even
when Louis almost said he was glad the
military were gone. She shrank instinc-
lively from hearing Max Beauregard' s
name brought forward if she expressed
any regret; but she thought it very unkind
and selfish Of Louis to be glad for that
which deprived her of pleasure. Did he
imagine, she said to herself, that she was
going to live in the country forever, and
content himself with his society alone?
One morning the postnan brought to the
Lines a letter addressed to Mr.. Herbert
and with the Gloucester postmark upon it
Uncle VIII did not receive many letters
and he did not know the handwriting OF
this. but he carried it unopened into his
study.
Falf an hour later he sent for his niece.
She found him sitting IN his usual place
with a great tome before him. He handed
the girl q letter
II wish you to read that" he said, ''and
tell me what your wishes are"
Valerie, much surprised, read the fol
lowing:
Langley Hall, near Gloucester, Aug. %
''NIY DEAR Mr.. HERBERT:

a FOOLS WISDOM
St PaIll Globe

Baron F. is a German nobleman
who incOgnito has been the guest of st
Paul friends for month past. He is a
naughty Saxon potentate, with the usual
idea of visiting foreigners that America
was created for their particular amuse-
ment. The family with whom the baron
has stopped have man and maid servant.
The former every morning, half an hour
before breakfast knocks at the doors of
the sleeping chambers and rOuses the
occupants. / wrote that he ''kn0cked" at
the doors, but kicked would have been
more truthful. The first time that he
thus awakened the baron, the latter
astounded at such hulIabaloo, rushed
to his door, dashed out in his night shirt,
and, seizing the frightened mental threw
him downstairs. The family passed the
little incident over without notice, sooth-
ing the servant as best they could. The
next morning the girl was sent to awake
the baron, and with remarkable lack o.
foresight she clicked" on his door. He
was expecting it, evidently, for the door
under the push of her toe opened, and
the baron from the inside deluged her
with basin OF water. After that he
told his entertainers that servants ought
to be ladies and gentlemen as well as
their employers, aud that when they
kicked his door he proposed to cure
them of rude manners with practical
Jokes.

The National League, He De-

Ever.
A Government Proclamation Prohib-
iting Meeting at kiIrush Publicly
Burned-COnfiict Between
People and Police.

Kilrush, Ireland, was illuminated Sun
day evening and the streets were crowded
with people. The government proclama-
zion prohibiting the meeting announced
to be held there was publicly burned. All
bon-fires and blazing tar barrels were ex-
tinguished by the police. There was a
conflict at Kilkee between the police and
the people, and one policeman was Sc
verely injured. Mr.. O'Brien, who is al
most Frustrated with emotion, intends to
attended the banquet given ii his honor
by his electors, and then to rest for a
few weeks, in accordance with his doctors
advice. IN spite of the endeavors to pre-
vent his whereabouts becoming generally
known, every mail brings him many con-
gratulatory letters. He is residing with
friend in Dublin. In an interview to-
day he said: 81 felt so well on leaving
prison that I have overtaxed my strength
and as result / am sleepless and worn
out. There was a portmanteau full Of
letters awaiting me at the prison on leav-
ing, and the number I HAYS received since
is so great that am quits unable to deal
with them. Those 1 have read affected
me more than I can describe, but it is
surprising that have received not one
threatening letter. I nave formed no
plans for future action but it matters little,
because the spirit of he country among
all classes has mounted to degre e
altogether beyond former experience :"
The National league, he continued, in
stead of being effaced as the coerciunists
prophesied, was more firmly rooted than
ever. The action of the land commits
sion had been equivalent to censuring
the moderation of the plan of campaign.
Mr.. Balfour had found that the league
could only be suppressed by surpressing
society. The action of the governments
in prosecuting priests showed that the
hopes of mazziing them by means of
intrigues at Rome had been frustrated.
It was an attempt to outrage the people
into an exhibition of violence as set-of
against Mr.. Balfour's waton brutality.
If Mr.. Blunt had never revealed Balfour's
intention toward the ParnelIites the
course pursued by the chief secretary
was evidence enough. He believed that
Balfour would push matters to extreri
ties until public opinion daunted him.

SUGAR and Saccharine.
Youths Companion.


Sugar, IN Its many varieties, is one OF
the most universal products of nature. Il
is contained in the juices of most plants
in the sap of most trees, in the flowers OF
most plants, and even in the substance
of the hardest grains. It Is also an ami
NAL product, being a constituent, not
only of all milk, but of the juices of the
heart and other organs of the body. The
liver has the power of celebrating it di
rectly from it's elements.
The sugars greatly differ from each
other in sweetness, as we'll as in some
other important qualities. Two pounds
of cane-sugar will sweeten as much as c
of grape sugar, which, in turn, is much
sweeter than the sugar of milk.
Sugar cane and beet are the chief sour
ces of household sugar. That from the
camel is used in this country and Great
Britain; that from beet in France ano
the continent Of Europe generally.
The consumption of sugar in this
country averages 40 pounds a year fol-
each person-being more than that OF
any other nation.
Though sugar is used mainly as 6
sweetener, it is also fuel, and being
conume1 within the system is a source
than can be consumed, the excess is
transformed into fat.
Sugar formed from starch is known as
glucose, but its composition is indentiea
which that of grape sugar. 1t is formed
artifcially ard is an important article OF
commerce. Although it is cheap, as com
pared with cane sugar, pound for pound
yet, as its sweetening power Is only lit
tie more than one-third that of the latter
it is really not economy to buy it.
Moreover, while it is wholesome if pure
the lack of sufficient care in the manu-
facture often leaves in it hurtfUl ingre
dents.
Though sugar taken into the stomach
can supply Us with heat and fat, yet wheat
-four is greatly superior in these respects
aud much cheaper.
Quite recently a new sWeetener of won
derful power has been discovered and is
already in use. It is formed from one of
the products of coal oil. It has 800 times
the sweeten1ng power of cane sugar. A
single drop gives sweet taste to three
quarts of water. It now costs 81 an ounce,
but will doubtless he very much cheaper
by andby. The name given it is saccha-
rine.
While it has SO extraordinary sweeten-
ing power, it is not q sugar, and can
therefore be used freely to sweeten the
food, tea and coffee of those who are
troubled with diabetes. All bitter medi-
cines, also, can have their taste perfectly
covered by it. It's effect on the system
appears to De in no way deleterious.

EITHER BEAN OR BUTTON.
The Freiheit Family Disagree, but the Doctor

San Fran cisco Call.

Got the Case
San Francisco Call
The question whether it was a bean or
button was the subject of conjdgal po-
lemics in which Sigismund Freiheit and
his spouse were seriously involved last
Monday. While DR.. Johnson, the assist
ant secretary of the health board, was
sitting in his private Office with brother
physician, they heard an energetic discus
sion in German betr cen two persons on
the stairway outside. Presently the door
opened and man and his wife, both ap-
preaching middle age, entered. The
man had child in his arms, and shared
his wife's distress over something dread
full that had happened to it. Both started
in at once to present the case to the kind
hearted doctor
"Ole at time, please" said the doctor.
'Yes, yes; no you just keep still, Nee
na," said the man to his wife, "and l will
tell what is the matter. Why, you see,
this child got shoe BUTTON
"a bean," interrupted his spouse.
Now you keep still, Meena," said the
husband, with considerable acerbity.
Doctor, he got a button in his nose"
mo, no, DOCTOR" quickly broke in his
wife; sit is not button, il is a beam"
"Meena," shouted the man, sswhat are
you talking about? say it was shoe-but-
ton"
sit wasn't a button, doctor; it was q
big blue bean," the woman replied with
vigor.
"What do you kick up this row in thu
doctors office for Meena?" said the man
In anger. ''These women are ell so stu
pid."
s'Oh, you're stupid, Sigismund; you
don't know anything" retorted his wife
Doctor, I don't mind that fool; she
don't know a COW from head of cab
bege."
s'Come, come, my good people," inter
posed the doctor, "don't quarrel over it.

The child has got''something up its nose,

Eyes doctor, BUTTON" said the man.
/ mo, doctor, a bean,n Immediately broke
from the woman, who was now thoroughly
aroused.
"Well, bean or button; it must come
out" said the doctor.
| "Yes, the button said the man.
"You lie Sigismund; it's BEAM said
| the wife.
| The doctor quelled the riot by asking
/ the parents to place the child in a chair,
and then laid out an array of about seven
/ teen instrum ents, only one of which he
had any use for. Selecting bright, deli
! cate hook with long shank, he advanced
| toward the infantile patient.

/ the father. Il never had such a thing

things be put into the body of my Off

the couple left the Office.
| As they were going downstairs the
/ young one sneezed, and out came the
| bone Of contention-a little shoe button.
1 The father picked it up and rushed back
/ to the Office.
There, doctor, didn't 1 tell you it was
! button?"
| The woman thus being forced into ac-
1uiescence had nothing more to say, but
the husband proceeded to explain TO the
ooctor how the button got up the chIld's
nose, and placing it IN his own nostrl by
way of illustration he gave a sudden sniff
/ and up went the button into his nose. A
| spasmodic eff lrt to blow it out failed III
| it's purpose, and the man now became
alarmed for himself.
'It must come out" said the doctor,
'or it will be likely to produce cancer
| Gus affection or cerebral Inflammation"
"What's that? My God! Take it out,
| doctor, take il outr'
| Once more the doctor produced his
hook, and in moment landed the little
black button in the palm of his hand.
Then he collected his fee, and the Fret
heit family departed, wiser and happier
for having the question "bean or but

He Wanted Work.
New York Ledger.

One of the leading New York merchants
had an interesting interview some time
ago with a young man who applied for
employment. He was very young man.
If not so remarkably young in years he
was mere boy in experience. Having
presented his letter of Introduction, he
sat waiting for the great man to open the
conversation. The merchant really de-
sirous to forward the wishes of the youth,
asked him what kind of a position he would
like. "Well," said the applicant, looking a
round at the somewhat luxurious office. 81
think I should like just such position as
yours" The great man replied: Yes; it
is very pleasant position, but it took me
many years to get it."
A lady was taking her little daughter
down town and something had gone
wrong and she was crying very hard.
The policeman on the beat, whom she
feared for his uniform was standing "a
the corner as they passed. He was very
friendly but she did not trust his friend
