Ladies, it would seem, no longer dye
their hair. o, dear no! They never
think of doing anything so crude as that.
What they do now, if you please, when
they wish to give to their locks that
bright golden or bronzy tint which is so
fashionable, is to "'oxidize it." 1 am

friend "Myra" for teaching them that
convenient term. Hair dye will, of

In the Landes district of western
France, On the Gironde, the soil is sandy
and will grow little but pines, of which
forests have been successfully cultivated.
The inhabitants subsist almost exclu-
sively upon the derived from
the production of pit props, railway
ties, telegraph poles, fuel and resin. The
annual shipments of pit props from
Bordeaux to England now amount to
about 175,000 tons, which is twice as
much as we shipped ten years ago. The
ties and poles are used mainly in France.
A large quantity of young pines are also
shipped to England for manufacture into
paper. The poorer classes, especially
those farthest from transportation facili-
ties, give their attention to resin, but
there is said to have been a serious de-
lii in the expectation of that article
from Bordeaux through competition from
the United States, which has greatly in
creased its exports, and is the chief
source of supply.
This has been a serious misfortune to
the inhabitants of the Landes district.
Pine oil is made from the refuse of resin
left in making turpentine. 1t is used ex-
tensively In Bordeaux as an Illuminating
oil. 1t burns brightly, is cheaper than
petroleum and is non-explosive. 1t is
also prepared and sold to some extent in
this country, patents having recently
been taken out for its production. In
Franco the pine does not appear to suffer
from the extraction of resin, where care
is used, but on account of it the wood is
said to be better fitted for certain pur-
poses, such as the manufacture of paper
and pyroligneous acids. The Landes
forests are of comparatively recent ORR

Coal rs n rnctor in Civilization.


Professor j. S. Newberry, of Columbia
college, New York, In u recent lecture ON
Goal, tho Dominant Factor in Modern
History" said: Few persons have real
lied the magnitude and dignity of the
work coal is doing In the world, and
fewer still have thought hat it is really
the sunshine of by gone ages, and that it
has once composed the tissues of various
strange plants, some of which are among
the most graceful and beautiful of veg
etable forms. Buried In the earth or
covered with water, vegetable fiber de
Gays or oxidizes slowly, forming, in sue
ccssive stages of decomposition, peat,
Ignite, coal, anthracite, graphite, the
h~ydro-carbon gases and petroleum. BY
regulating and controlling the further
oxidation of these we are able to utilize
the resulting force as light or heat or
motive power.
ITO help you to realize the potency OF
this wonderful substance, coal, let me
recall TO your memories the measure
ments Of the power evolved in its COM
bustion. 1t is estimated that with the
average engines now in use, about ,500,-
900 foot pounds are practically evolved
from the combustion of n pound of coal,
and are available in the performance of
any work done. Now, this is about the
power exerted in n days labor of an
average man. Hence a ton of coal is
capable of yielding an amount of force
equivalent to that of six and two-thirds
men, or of six men and a well grown boy,
throughout the year. Or, the annual
production of coal in this country and
Great Britain is equivalent to n thousand
million men working for q year"

ENTERING IN.


The church was dim and silent
With the hush before the prayer
Only the solemn trembling
OF the organ stirred the air.
Without, the sweet, still sunshine;
Within the holy calm
Where priest and people waited
For the swelling Of the psalm
Slowly the door swung open,
And a little baby girl.
Brown eyed, with brown hair falling,
In many a wavy curl
With soft cheeks flushing hoty,
Sly glances downward thrown,
And small hands clasped before her.
Stood In the isle alone.
Stood half abashed, half frightened,
Unknowing where to go,
While like n wind rocked flower
Her form swayed to and fro;
And the changing color fiuttered
In the little troubled face,
As from side to side she wavered
With q mute, imploring grace.
1t was but for a moment;
What wonder that we smiled
By such a strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts beguiledf
Up then rose some one softly,
And many an eye grew dim,
As through the tender silence
He bore the child with him
And !, l wondered, losing
The sermon and the prayer,
II when sometime l enter
The many mansions fair,
And stand abashed and dropping
In the portals golden glow,
Our God will send an angel
To show me where to goi

4 Railroad Threat,

The Philadelphia people are disturbed
over the threat of the Reading railroad
TO build its line in to Arch street, with
out asking the city's consent. II claims
that 1t has power under its charter 10 do
this. 1t has for some time been asking
councils to authorize another COMPANY.
Which it organized to build this city line
In Its interest, to construct il but coun-
ellis have not seen fit 10 agree to give il ALI
1t wanted so that il now SAYS ii will
take what it wants, under the sanction
Of its ancient charter.
Still IT is safe to say that il will do
nothing of that kind. That Reading
charter has authorized lots of rascality,
but the scheme Of overruuning Phila-
deiphia with its roads, without the con-
sent of city councils, is a chinkapin
above even its audacity, and the project
wiil not work. There is power in the
clty's charter, as well Ms the Readings:
and 1t certainly will suffice TO protect il
In its vitals.
And this claim which is so broadly
made concerning the inviolability nv
tne state OF chartered rights, is one that
needs and will receive a new revelation
The doctrine that a state cannot recover
what II has once parted with
end that 1t cannot modify or restrict
powers once granted, will not hold water
