Coal .s u Factor I'm Civilization.

Professor J. s. Newberry, of Columbia
college, New York, In recent lecture OH
"Coal, tho Dominant Factor In Modern
History" said: Sew persons have real
lied tho magnitude and dignity of the
work coal Il doing In tho world, and
fewer still have thought that II is really
the sunshine Of by gone ages, and that 1t
has once composed tho tissues of various
strange plants, some Of which arc among
tho 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
cessivo stages Of decomposition, peat.

hydro-carbon gases and petroleum. BY
regulating and controlling tho further
oxidation Of these VIC arc able to utilize
tho resulting force as light or heat or
motive power.
"To help you to realize tho potency Of
this wonderful substance, coal, let me
recall to your memories tho measure
ments Of the power evolved In its COM
bustion. II is estimated that with the
average engines now In use, about ,500,-
600 foot pounds are practically evolved
from the combustion Of pound Of coal,
and are available in the performance Of
any work done. Now, this Is about the
power exerted In q days labof Of an
average man. Hence ton Of coal il
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 tho year. Or. the annual
production Of coal in this country and
Great Britain is equivalent to thousand
million men working for year."

LnMNer,a Iallarn.

Within the memory Of men still living,
II was not difficult task for a lawyer in
active practice TO familiarize himself
with all tho leading American decisions.
How Ii 1t now? Unless his memory Is
abnormally developed he cannot retain
tho names Of tho reports, even, much less
their contents. In this multitude Of au-
thorities, both luminous and fuliginous,
no proposition, however absurd, Is re-
quired to stand with apparent support.
The lawyer Of tho present, instead Of
basing his judgment upon broad, general
principles Of right, is apt to spend his
time and waste his faculties In delving
and searching among the yellow covered
literature Of public law library (no one

as efIectually communicated through tho

ces from his experiments is that the re-

A Diamond Among tho Marbles.

Mrs. l. O. Abraham, then living on
Euclid avenue, lost a diamond which
was ono OF pair OF ear rings, the pair
being valued at $1,000 The diamond
when lost was incased In Q gold ball.
Moro than ten months passed, and, as
thero was no response to the advertise
ments, 1t was given up rs lost But
strange things happen In this prosaic
world, and Mrs. Abraham IL again Ia
possession Of her diamond. II was re-
turned to her last Friday, and IL camo
about In this way. About the time tho
stone was lost workman named John
Scott happened to look into tho gutter
and there saw tho small golden ball. He
picked 1t up and the next day showed It
to some Of his fellow employees. Heevcn
offered It as a gift to the workman at
tho next bench to him, but he said:
"What do I want with the thing? It's
no good; only brass plaything."
So Scott took 1t homo and gave 1t to
his children. The little ones had bag
Of marbles, and they added the golden
bull to tho collection, rolling 1t about the
Door. This sort Of thing was kept up for
ten months. Ono day last week woman
living In the neighborhood called on tho
Scott family and the youngsters were
rolling tho golden ball about tho floor.
Tho woman picked 1t up, examined It
closely and said; "Why. there's q crease
right around tho center OF It," Tho two
women went to work OH II until tho gold
ball was opened, and right In tho center
Of II was q dazzling and precious gem.
A consultation was held among the
neighbors and Scott took the diamond
down to Chafer & Bccker's and showed
It to Mr.. Becker, who advised him to ad-
vertiso II. Finally the advertisement
was read by Mrs. Abraham. Her hus-
band went down to SEQ 1t, and could
scarcely believe his eyes when he beheld
tho sparkling gem lost by his wife nearly
year ago. He gave the finder u reward
Of $50 and restored the missing earring
to his wife.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Tho Malice of Criminals.

II all the threats made Of contemplated
vengeance OF convicted criminals were
carried out, tho mortality among officers
OF the law would be astounding. No
thief ever felt the halter draw with good
opinion Of the law, so runs tho ancient
chestnut. and 1t is equally true that never
yet was there a criminal who had philoso-
ply enough to give the officer who sends
him up credit for doing his duty. They
imagine themselves the victim Of q pri-
vate grievance, and when they are ON
their way to tho penitentiary they hon
estly believe that they intend to get even
with the officer at the expiration Of their
terms. A year or two in the prison has a
wonderfully calming effect, and when
the prisoner Is released he Is not inclined
TO seek readmission to its walls. No little
scheme Of revenge will tempt him to TAX

Doles Of Fish.

Doles Of fish are very numerous, and
with particulars Of a few examples we
close our paper. John Thake, in his will,
drawn up in 1887, left his house and land
on condition that his heirs, annually on
Friday, In the first week In Lent, gave to
tho poor Of Clavering, In Essex, ono bar
rel Of white herrings and cade Of red
herrings. At Dronfield, Derbyshire, In
1877, Richard Stevenson left half hum
dred Of herrings, and as much bread as
could be made from "strike" Of good
wheat. The doles were to be distributed
every Friday during Lent forever. At
Farnham Royal, Buckinghamshire, in
1864, David Slater gave money 10 pur-
chase bread and herrings and q pair Of
kid gloves annually for the parson Of the
parish for tho time being. The gloves
were to Ike purchased ready for the first
Sunday In Lent. At Newmarket In
Suffolk there was bequest OF fish and
fagots. .-Chambers' Journal.

Alcohol in France.

The quantity of alcoholic spirits ex-
tracted in France by distillation from wine
has been gradually diminishing, owing to
the effects Of phyxilloxera and mildew on
the vines, and in consequence the produc-
ton of spirits from molasses, beet-root
juice, grape skins, and from farinaeeous
substance, especially maize and potatoes,
shows an increase. The Consul General
of the United States at Parisstates that the
spirits produced in France are now for the
greater part distilled from molasses, and
the annul production reaches Is, 492, 900
gallons. The distillation Of beet-root juice
is also very important, producing alcohol
of "a good quality. The quantity is about
100000 gallons, but the production is
decreasing slightly and is being replaced
by spirits made from grain. The produc-
ton of grain spirits is close on 10000 coo
gallons. The distilla.ion of potatoes, in
troduced into France some sixty years ago,
has never attained airy great Importance.

GOVERNOR WATERMAN AND KERRiGAS.
J. Kerrigan having, according to the San

that Governor Waterman agreed to pardon Ker-
rigan's wi from prison if ne. Kerrigan, would
work to elect Banks. Republican, to the Senate.
Governor Waterman, in an interview with a re-
porter of the San Francisco Post emphatically
denies the story; says he made no such pro-
misses. and that all he knows of Kerrigan
is that he stopped him on the street one day
and asked HIM to grant the pardon. and the
Governor replied. asking the mans name, that
he'd investigate the case. The Governor de-
MES with emphasis that he knows W. 4. Ryan
or Kerrig IN, or that he ever made any iniima-
ton or promise to Kerrigan or anyone else. as
stated. and says the whole story is false in every
detail and inception
