proud spirit.
A third boy gave a penny, saying to
himself Il suppose / must, because
all others do" That was an iron penny.
Ii was the gift of a cold. selfish heart.
As fourth boy dropped MS penny in

was a silver penny, the gift Of a heart
full Of pity.

rNrLEAsANr REMARKs.

Never tell anybody an unpalatable
truth when it can answer no good pur-
pose. This sort Of unnecessary candor
is sometimes prompted by malice. some
times by a mere lOoseness Of tongue.

that friendship is frequently made an
excuse for unpunishbale impertinence

speaking their mirds freely. The
truth. maliciously spoken, may be
libelous: and when volunteered in re-
lation 10 matters with which the utterer
has no concern, IL Is very often unman-
nerly. As surely as pleasant truths
kindly meant and said are passports to
friendship and affection, so surely do
bitter ones provoke the eumify and

Coal.

Anthracite coal prices are likely to fall
lower than ever before in the history of the
trade if the weather continues es it has been
during the last few months Dealers and
producers are naturally fighting for higher
prices, but in this case the consumer is ike
ly to win the day. If the coal companies
and their agents can in any way control
matters they will not permit the price to
fall below present figures. There are many
ways, however. in which reduction can be
brought about in spite of them, A reduo'
ton of tolls by the railroad companies
would cause an immediate drop, and there
is nothing to prevent the individual opera
tors from cutting into the market in the en-
deayor to secure larger trade.
Operators have been trying eli sorts OF
schemes to advance prices, but without suc-
cess. and under tbs circumstances they ex-
press surprise at the way the market has
held up, They say the trade Is in such a
condition now that nobody will purchase
coal at any price unless they are in absolute
need OF 1t.
The figures of the present and last month
were given as an argument against any re-.
duction. Prices at the mines have been
from Is to 20 cents per ton lover this month
than In January, yet in proportion to the
time toe sales have been considerably less.
