Another vein of soft coal has been discov-
cred about eight miles south of Chamber
lain, S. D., on the west side of the river.
The vein was discovered in the high bluff ON
the west side of the liver, the blum being
largely composed Of chalk rock. They
brought back as much as could be conyen-
ientlv carried. The coal is of the camel
variety, and is rather light, owing to pro-
tracted exposure to tue sun and air, but
burns well, and reduces to white
ash The prospectors have staked

Artificial Teeth an Old Idea.

False teeth are popularity supposed to
be somewhat modern invention, but
this belief has received rude shock
from certain discoveries made in the an
Gent Etruscan city OF Jalisca. In one
of the tombs recently opened there q
skull was found in which was full set
of natural teeth fastened into the alveoli
with golden ligatrres. The tomb dates
to the fifth century before Christ, and
the workmanship displayed in the fast
enings of the teeth is of a high order.

curuSEys AND SCOT IN GENERAL.

CHfMNEys AND SCOT IN GENERAL.
There is nothing more vcxatious than
stove which does not perform its
duties, yet there is no more certain test
of au incapable servant or housekeeper
than continual complaint of the stove,
There are very few poor stoves. All
tirst.class iron moulders make good
kitchen stoves, which only require to be
set right, kept clean and treated intclli-
gently to cook well. 1t is not at all an
uncommon thing to find the principal
hampers of stove in regular use sealed
up with SCOT and ashes, and the flucs of
the oven overlooking; and yet the mis-.
tress of the house is wondering why the
stove smokes or why the oven does not
bake on the bottom. Even when every
damper in the stove is in order and the
oven flues are clean, the tiue of the chin
ney may be so choked with SCOT that the
stove cannot get a breath of fresh air A
chimney in steady use in the kitchen
ought to be cleaned at least once every
two or three years to insure draft. Some
chimneys may draw well for years with
out cleaning, but they are exceptional. If
the kitchen fire does not come up clear in
half or three-quarters of an hour after it
is started there is something radically
wrong about the drafts. As often as
once month all the oven fues should be
cleansed. This is not pleasant task,
but it is necessary.

to have been married to Miss Mary Balm,
and for him the bride was waiting Their
house had been elegantly fitted up, and
everything was in readiness for the newly
married couple to begin life under the most
cheering auspices, when, after sad days
'elay. Il e news was conveyed to the bride

Watkins was a member of the Baptist
Church, and man always liked and re-
Ipected. The coroner says it was case of

BETTER THE VALLEY.

Better the valley with peace and love
Than the desolate heights some souls at

Lonely is life on the hills above

On the heights they must hunger and starve

but new applications, new uses, new
interpretations. You must remember
that during the last three hundred years
words have changed their meaning and some
of them now mean more and some less. / do
not think that John Calvin believed, as some

AsBURY PARK, Dec. s, 1S90.-That don
mouth county is infested with a well or
ganiZed gang of thieves is beyond doubt,
The fact thai more robberies have been
perpetrated within the last month than
during all the previous years proves this.
Hardly a day has passed during the past
month that Que or more robberies have
not been reported from some of the shore
towns. In many instances the thieves
have secured but small reward for their
work, while i'll a few places quite heavy
lifts" have been made. Last week fully
a dozen different places of business at
Belmar, including the post Office, were
robbed. A number OF houses and stores
at Keyport were broken into and robbed.
Then followed a number of small rob-
berries at Glendola, M~anasquan and Point
Pleasant.
The latest robberies reported occurred
Friday night, when the W. railroad sta
tons at Manasquan, the post office and
railroad station and a number of stores at
Point Pleasant City, together with a few
houses at Spring Lake Beach were en-
tered.
AT the New York and Long Branch
Railroad, at Manasquan, a little none
was secured by the thieves besides a guam
tity OF tickets. At the Pennsylvania Rail-
road station the thieves did not secure
much. In forcing an entrance into this
TWO doors were burst open.
At the Point Pleasant City post Office
the thieves secured all the small change
lying around, together with a lot of

CITY AND COUNTRY.
Wonderful Increase in the Population
of the Former and Decrease in the
Latter.

Latter.
Representative William NJ. Springer
points out in the December Forum that
the population of the United States has
increased between 1880 and 1890 from So
0OO, 900 to 1000, 600. or about 70 per cent.
Deducting the urban population, the ia
crease OF rural population is found to be
only s per cent, while the increase of the
urban population Is more than 81 per
cent. This classification of urban popula-
ton includes only cities of 5000 fnhabit-
ants and upward. If the classification
should embrace cities of 1000 inhabitants
and upward, it would undoubtedly appear
that the rural population had decreased
during the decade, while the total increase
would be in the cities. This general result
has been brought about Notwithstanding
the immense increase in population in the
rural districts in extreme Western States,
such as the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka, Kansas, Arkansas aud Texas.

The percentages Of the increase Of city
to the whole increase of popu-
lation between 1880 and 1890, in several
States, are as follows:-In Maine there
was an actual decrease of rural popula-
ton, the increase in the cities being more
than the total increase in the State. In
Massachusetts, the increase in cities was
60 per cent. of the whole increase; in Con-
