Coal Fields in the South.

The Geological Survey has just issued
a brief preliminary report on the pro-
ductiOn of coal in the United States in
1888 in advance of the full and complete
returns, which will appear in the final re-
port. The figures it gives shows most
gratifying increase in the output of coal
in the Southern States, and the progress
of the industry in that section of the
country. During last year the production
of coal in Alabama was 10000 tons,
as against 1, ,950,00O tons in the previous
year, which is about double. The value
of this output is placed at So, 335, 900 in
1883 and 81, ,535, 900 in 1887. In Ten
nessee the increase has not been so great,
but 1, 1867, 800 tons, valued at 50, 164, ,030
were turned out, as against 100000
tons, worth 81, 470, 900 in 1887. Arkansas
mined 1913, 600 tons, worth S2S9, 500 last
year and only $50, 900 tons, worth 1852
500, in the year previous. Texas pro-
duccd 10000 tons in 1888, valued at
4,500, against $4,000 tons, worth
$3.50, 900, in 1887. Alabama stands ninth
in the list of coal producing States in the
quantities mined and eighth in the value
of the product Times Democrat.

A Good Word for the AppIe.

The apple growers of western New
York are complaining that they cannot
dispose of that part of last years enor-
nous crop which yet remains in their
hands. The 2,400, 600 people of New
York and Brooklyn cities ought to help
them to do so at this time of the year
and until the autumn season. There is
no fruit more wholesome than the apple,
which has also the advantage Of being
cheap. The acids and juices it contains
are especially beneficial to the human
system during the summer months. 1t
can be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, din
ner, and supper, or between meals. 1t
can be eaten raw, and it can be cooked
in a hundred different ways. 1t is good
for children, and not less so for their
elders. We ought not to take two
months in consuming the 200, 900 barrels
of apples for which the farmers of west
ern New York cannot find market

"NIore Than Conquerors."

A conqueror may compel submission but
he cannot compel love- The conquered ma
tion may be flied with hatred and thirst for
revenge Christ is more than a conqueror,
for He not merely subdues His people under
His sway, but He draws out their affections
to Himself; His enemies are thus changed
into loving and devoted friends The perse,,
cutting Saul, breathing out threatanings and
slaughter, and making havoc Of the church,
became the devoted apostle Paul, to whom
"to live was Christ" The Christian Is more
than conuueror." The tribulation, distress
and persecution but lead him all the closer
to Christ; so that he not merely submits to
these seeming ills, but he rejoicss in tribula-
ton, and nc nally thanks Christ for sending
it. The sting is taken out of the persecution,
and the Christian rejoices that he is counted
worthy to suffer for Christ's sake.-Georlge
Jefreu.

ALCOHOLISM IN FRANCE.

The consumption Of alcohol in France has
been made the subject Of report drawn up
by the French senatorial committee. From
this document it appears that since the inva-
sion of the phylloxera spirits have been
largely substituted for wine as a stimulant
with the French people, the spirits most used
being, moreover, no longer distilled from
wine, as formerly, but from potatoes, plums,
apples and pears. The alcohol thus obtained
is, it seems, extremely deleterious and to its
use is ascribed the deplorable increase Of sui
eide, criminality and insanity in districts
where these drinks are most in vogue. Inn
pure alcohol, in fact, is known to be most
detrimental to the public health, and medical
testimony proves that the spirit drinkers Of
Paris and other districts in France not only
suffer from nervous and other diseases, but
that their children are liable to epilepsy, in
sanity and hysteria. Normandy, where the
consumption of impure alcohol is very large;
is noted, it appears, for the high death rate
of infants, while the proportion of suicides
from drink there constitutes 81 per cent OF
the number. The senatorial committee
strongly recommends the abolition Of private
distillation and the prohibition Of the sale Of
all spirituous liquors which are dangerous to
health, and insists that all alcoholic products
shall pass through rectifying establishments.
This recommendation ought certainly not to
be neglected.-LondolS Standard. -

A NATION OF TOTAL ABsTA1NERs.

For half thousand years a nation Of total
abstainers: the valiant Moriscoes, Of Spain
and Northern Africa, held their own against
all comers and in science, arts and industries
were as superior to their Christian neighbors
as the British settlers Of Cape Town Colony
are to the neighboring tribes of Cafir saw.
ages When Paris (the mud-hole Lutetia, as
the latter Romans called iD was an aggre,
cation Of narrow, unclean streets, Cordova had
a population Of $4,000 intelligent citizens
and could boast of eight public libraries,
well-endowed high-schools, colleges Of medi:
cine and surgery, magnificent bazaarss
botanic gardens, free hospitals, and not less
than eight hundred public baths. The valley
of the Guadalquivir was titled Like a garden;
and supported population almost equal to
that of all modern Spain south Of the Ebro:
The revenues Of the Spanish caliphs far e1;
ceeded those of all other contemporary king:
doms of Europe taken together. In stature
the founders of that prosperous Empire were
mere dwarfs compared with the iron-clad
warriors of the north, yet in spite of frequent
considerations of their adversaries, the
champions Of temperance maintained their
independence from the eighth TO the middle
of the fourteenth century, when the rivalries
of their own Princes dissolved the union Of
their kingdom, and thus prepared the way for
the conquest of their own northern aggressors,

The Ancient Battering- Grams.

They exerted greater power than any
Gun or cannon invented up to the year
1860. These battering-rams were prob
ably as effective in knocking down wall
or staving in the side Of ship as the
best modern cannon, but for making a
breach the guns are far superior. Such
was the solidity and thickness of the walls
of Jerusalem that, Josephus tells us, it
took all of one night for an enormous
battering-ram to dislodge four stones!
Vitruvius has left us the description of a
ram weighing 4S0, 900 pounds; but prob
ably the most celebrated of all the ancient
moving tower rams was that constructed
by Demetrius Poliorcetes at the siege Of
Rhodes. The base of the tower was
seventy-fve feet square. The ram itself
was an assembly of large square beams
resting on wheels in size proportioned to
the weight of the structure, and all
riveted together with iron. The felloes
of the wheels were three feet thick and
strengthened with iron plates. From
each of the four angles of the tower a
large pillar of wood was carried up to a
height of $50 feet, and these pillars were
inclined toward one another. The tower
had three stories, communicating by
two staircases each. The sides OF the
machine were plated with iron to protect
against fire. In front of each story there
were loop-holes, screened by leather cur
tains, to keep out darts, arrows, etc.
Each story was provided with machines
for throwing large stones and darts; and
in the lower story was the ram itself,
thirty fathoms long, and fashioned at the
end into an iron beak, or PROV. The
entire machine was moved forward by
$500 soldiers.
But it can easily be understood that
among so many men some must be more
or less exposed to the enemys darts or
arrows; and so, to drive the enemy from
the walls and open places, to break the
roofs of his houses, and otherwise annoy
him, machines were necessary for throw
ing missiles, from small darts up to huge
bowlders.- Nicholas.

hundred thousand, and that it did not
affect me more than if it had been ten

Every one was dumbfoundcd. till finally

Carlo?'

THE DRUNKARp,S SON.

A bright looking boy entered the Chestnut
Street Police Station last night. He seemed
to be in great distress. I
"Wen, my little fellow" said the big, but
kind-hearted Sergeant at the station what:
is troubling youF' i
"Please, sir, is my mamma locked up hereT,
"Who is your mamma" a
"Please, sir, her name is Martin"
The Sergeant looked at the record book on
tered =.
''Yes, here is her name"
"Please, sir, can see her"
"She is drunk. I don't think it would do
you any good, my little man. Come back
again in an hour"
The poor little fellow, with mis- eyes filed
with tears, turned slowly, and reluctantly
left the Office. !
In exactly an hour he returned. he had
not been very far away, but spent the time
in going from store to store watching the
hour.
This time he was admitted to the door Of
the CELL The mother had recovered partially
from the drunken stupor. :
II will let her out in little while, my
boy" said the Sergeant, patting the boys
curly head The latter's eyes frightened.
"0h, thank you, sir" he said. |
'Where is your father? Is he dead|
ssNo, sir, papa, he is at home" !
"Why don't he come down for your.
mother" i
Again the boys eyes filed with big tears.
because, sir, he is drunk too"
'sPoor boy" nuttered the officer, IF you
should grow up to be sober man you would
indeed be model"
Mamma was always so kind and good,s
he continued between his sobs. Papa drank
SO hard and then she thought she'd stop him
if she did it too No they both get drunk so
often.'
The recollections of his miserable home.
seemed to fit across the boys mind and again
he burst into tears, and the officers expressed
much sympathy for the boy, whose love for
a drunken mother was so earnest, SO deep: 1t
was temperance lecture that appealed to
the heart.-St. Louis Star Sayings.
