TWILL HELP THE MINERS.
Pittsburg Furnaces Deprived Of Their
Natural Gas supply.


PITTsBURo. Oct. A.-A sensation was
created in iron and steel circles by the
announcement that the Philadelphia Gas
company decided To discontinue supply
ing natural gas TO the pudding furnaces
for fuel. There are one thousand pud-
ding furnaces in the city and over half of
them will be shut of as q result Of this
order. This will necessitate an enormous
expense in changing the construction for
the use Of coal. In addition there will be
o heavy added cost, owing TO the higher
price Of coal.
Asmost Of the companies had contracts
with the gas people at a very low rate, the
gas people claim the move is not made on
account OF the scarcity Of gas, but be-
cause il can be used to much greater adj
vantage in private houses, and at much
higher rates.
The estimated daily consumption OF
natural gas in the city now is five hum
dred million cubic feet and II Is equal TO
5000 tons Of coal. Shutting of the gas
from the furnaces will give an almost in
credible impetus 20 the coal mining in
dustry.

SELLING THEIR LIVES.



NEW YORK, Oct. A.-The chroEicle, an
insurance journal, in its current issue
gives the details Of n conspiracy il has
been working on for some time, the intent
being 10 defraud life insurance companies
by a certain person in New York who has
been engaged in insuring the lives Of a
number OF men of dissolute habits for
moderate amounts, the policies all being
made payable in q manner that would al
low the conspirator to reap the profits.
His plan was 10 take these men and put
them under a course of training until they
were in good physical condition and then
insure them. The men would be paid $50
and s75, and the Chronicle says within the
past year some OF them have died and
the policies have been paid by the COM
panies.

HOW TO TELL A GOOD HORSE.

Unless horse has brains you
can't teach him. See that tall bay
there, fine looking animal, fifteen
hands high. You can't teach that
horse anything. Why? Well, FL
show difference in heads; but have
care of his heels. Look at the
brute's head, that rounding nose,
that tapering forehead, that broad,
full place before the eyes. You
can't trust him. That's an awful
good mare, as true as the sun. You
couldn't hire that mare to act mean
or hurt anybody. The eye should
be full; and hazel is good color.
| like a small, thin ear and want
horse to throw his ears we'll for
ward. Look out for the brute that
wants TO listen to all conversation
going on behind him. The horse
that turns back his ears that they
almost meet at the points, take my
word for it, is sure to do something
wrong. See that straight, elegant
face. A horse with a dishing face
is cowardly, and cowardly brute
is usually vicious. Then l like
square muzzle, with large nostrils,
to let plenty of air to the lungs.
For the under side of the head, a
good horse should be well cut I'M
der the jowl, with jawbones broad
and wide apart under the throttle.
The next thing to consider is the
build of the animal. Never buy .
long-legged, stilted horse. Let him
have short, straight back and a
straight rump, and you have got n
gentleman's horse. The withers
should be high and the shoulders
well set back and broad, but don't
get them too deep in the chest. The
foreleg should be short. Give me
a pretty straight hind leg, with the
hook low down. short pastern JOINTS
and a round, mulish foot. There
are all kinds of horses, but the ami
NAL that has these points Is almost
sure to be slightly, graceful, good
natured and Observation-Disclosures
