COAL SUPPLIES OF THE WORLD.

In view of the question which
has suggested itself on more than
one occasion as to how long 1t
would be before the Old World
coal deposits would become ex-
hausted the Deutsche Handels
Meseum supplies some interesting
figures relating to the worlds coal
fields outside of the North Ameri-
can continent.
According to these, the low coun-
tries, Switzerland, Denmark, Ger
many, and Bohemia, possesses
coal mines of a surface area OF
about $4,000 square miles.
Russia alone has $4,000 square
miles. The deposits of the Island
of Formosa amount to something
like 10000 square miles, some OF
the coal veins ranging up to SO feet
in thickness.
The coal fields of Austria, Spain
Portugal, Italy, Greece, Turkey,
and Persia, cover about $4,000
square miles, those of India $4,000,
and those OF Japan 5000 square
miles, while those of China are es-
timated at the enormous figure OF
400, 900 square miles. Bat these
are not all.
| The Falkland Islands, Patagonia
and Peru are rich in coal, while the
southern part of Chill is one i'm
mense deposit. In Brazil veins
varying in thickness from II to 25
feet are found in numbers, and i'll
the United States of Colombia
there is all abundance of the min
eral. Mexico and the Vancouver
Islands are also well supplied,
there being probably not TAR from
10000 square miles, while the
! deposits thus far discovered in
Tasmania, New Caledonia, and
Natal are estimated to cover 1OO,-
! 900 square miles, the larger num-
Der of these deposits not yet hav-
ing been worked.
Wishout reckoning the i'm
mense stores of coal in the United
States, merely relying upon those
given above, there seems to be
but little prospect of a coal famine
for some years.-Iron.

THE FAITHFUL CLOCK.

Although my hands are on my face,
And all the time 1 go on tick,
Trust me, mine is worthy case,
The slow may think it is too quick,
But fast aid slow at once may see
At any time good works in me.
Good hours from day to day keep;
No one down carly, none up late,
Has ever caught me fast asleep.
If run down lose my weight;
If should take single drop
'rwould break me, and my works woulo
stop.
A man wound up is in fix.
But wind me up and can 60.
Though hard the times, / play no tricks.
And yet it is on tick do
The constant work of my two hands
A task the workman understands.
I sometimes strike, but only hit
The laggards who are ont too late;
And some of them have little wit.
Aud skulls so thick that if my weight
Upon their stupid heads should drop.
They would not know what made them stop

HORSES WEARING BUSrL ES.

Did you ever see horses that
wore bustles? asked DIR. Henry
Wilson, who has just returned
from Kentucky. John Hughes
showed pair of horses in buggy
that he had been offered $4,000
for, and asked $4,000. They took
the blue ribbon and knew every
gait that a horse ever made.
These horses wore bustles all the
time except when on the road.
When put in their stalls Wire
bustles, just such as lady wears,
only smaller, was put under the
tail and held there by a strap.
This made the horse throw the
tail from the body and gave it a
style in action. Many horses in
Kentucky wear bustles. 1t is a
regular trade about Lexington to
buy likely, handsome horses at
about $3.50 and educate them to
all the gaits, give him style, speed
him up little and sell them for
thousand or SO.

\ Stampede.

Cyclones and hurricanes con-
tinue to devastate; prairie fires
and clond-bursts desolate and de
stroy; rivers rise from their beds
and carry death on the muddy wat
ers; but the tragedy of the buffalo
stampede is never to be enacted
again, says the Detroit Free Press.
1t was a mighty terror of the
plains, more TO be feared than a
war party of Apaches; more to be
dreaded than tile pillows of flame
licking up the long. dry grass.
1t is high noon on the great
plains of central Nebraska.
An emigrant party, composed OF
a dozen wagons and as many
families, has haulted on the Loup
fork of the Platte river to cook
dinner and rest their animals. 1t
is mid summer and the creek has
almost disappeared. Here and
there few barrels of water are
left in a deep hole, and again the
bed of the creek is dry for 10C
rods.
The suns of July and August
beat down on the great plains
with terrible effect. Creeks rur
dry, rivers sink into insignificance
the grass is killed to its roots, an(
great cracks open in the baket
earth to give convenient shelter tt
insects and reptiles. Then woe t.
the man or beast who is far from
water. Thirst will craze him in +;
few hours.
There is water here for the emf
grants, such as it is, but the quaint
| ty is reduced one-half before tn
thirsty horses have had their fill
The men look up and down tn
| bed of the creek, but as far as tn
eye can see in eilher direction
there is no more water. Last Ma,
this Loup fork would have foate
a ship in its channel, but the mour
tain SHOWS have melted and n
rain has fallen for weeks.

In one Maine town is a very
heavy girl. She is quite sensitive
about her weight and it is not gen
orally known. but two mischevious
young men wanting to know it,
one of them persuaded her to stop
and speak with him on the hay
scales. The owner of the scales
was in the plot and quickly weigh
ed them. The weight of the man
being subtracted, left the amount
of 3O1 pounds for the girl.

AN AUTUMN VAIL.

The season colder grows apace,
The winds begin to roar;
So, when you come into this place,
Please, mister, shut the door.
It's most to warm for fires as yet,
They'd open every pore;
But frost has come, mankind to fret,
So, mister, shut the door.
Don't leave it swinging while we sneeze.
And christen you bore;
Unless you want to see us freeze,
Why, hang it! shut the door.
Don't make us shiver till we're blue,
And banker for your gore;
Look here, we've said all we're going t.
say on this subject. and the next thing yo,
know we'll be over there wiping the Hoo
up with you.
Unless you shut that door.

New York thinks il is better to
bury the electric wires than the
people they kill.

The citizens of Taylorsville, Neb.,
recently tarred and feathered old
Jason Mitchell and then rode him
on a rail. Instead of resenting
this treatment, Jason seemed to
enjoy it. This puzzled the boys
very much until the old man sued
twenty five Of them for 500
damages each, and got it. Then
they began to see that Jason really
had the most fun.

Prof. Sheldon, one of the great
est agricultural college authori-
ties, now comes forward to dis
turb our old faith in the value OF
hauling manure to the field as fast
as it is made. He says it should
be only handled in the spring
otherwise the loss of manure is
sure to be very great, the waste in
the course of six months amount

nure and nearly forty per cent. of
the nitrogen which it contains

A Portland Lulu Hurst

young man and young woman started
from the western part of the city last eve
ming to attend dance in the old rink on the
hill. They boarded Congress street car,
and were sitting quite close together on ac-
count of the cold, when the girl began to act
strangely. She grew rigid and then showed
desire to do combat with everybody in the
car. When the car reached DR.. Vose's
house the young man succeeded III getting
her off and into the house. He explained to
the doctor that she was subject to fits, and
that this was one of them. Dr. Vose did not
like that kind of fit and he tried to admin
lister ether with view of calming her raw
ings. She proved too many for the doctor,
however, and help was summoned from the
police station. Deputy Merrill and Officer
Webster responded and went to work manful-
ly to hold the girl while DR.. Vose admins
tered the anesthetic. The rawlings and con-
tortions of the frenzied girl were terrific 1t
was all that both men could do to hold her,
but atlast she succumbed to the subtle odor
of the sleep-produeing fluid and was con-
veyed to the lodging room OF the police sta
ton. After remaining there for several
hours, as ne return of the spasms occurred
she was sent home, accompanied by the
faithful young man. t~;sit

it was voted that committee of one from
each paper be appointed a committee to
draw up constitution, bylaws, ETC., and re-
port at o future meeting to be called by the
chair. Mr.. Fassett afterwards amended the
motion so that the duties of the committee
