Our Girls and Boys.

There were two little girls at New
port last summer, says the Boston
Traveller, who attracted more than the
ordinary interest attached to children
of wealthy people. These two maidens
bilt, and in few years they will be
the richest heiresses in society.
They are not sisters, but cousins.
and as entirely dissimilar in appear
ance and character as though no drop
of the same blood flowed in their veins.
But they are close companions and ap-
parently fond of one another, and when
one drives out in her little dog-cart the
other is sure to appear also.
Gertrude is the oldest daughter of
Cornelius Vanderbilt. She is about 13
years old, and the fairies have given
her the fair beauty of the Snow Prin-
cess" as well as her pot of gold. Her
resemblance to little Elsie Leslie of
"Fauntleroy" fame is often comment
ed upon. She has the same long curls,
deep blue eyes, oval face, and pearly
complexion. She is tall for her age,
and has such pretty, willowy little
figure, dainty hands, and slender, arch
ed feet. Her nature is sweet and sun
ny. Naturally shy with strangers she
is full of merriment with those she
knows.
Little Consuelo is about the same
age, and is the oldest of w. X. Van
derbilt's children. She is named for
Lady Vaudeville, and is an old little
creature, with thin, graceful little
figure, and dark Mignon face, lit by
two serious gray eyes as deep as wells
and as bright as stars. Her hair is
like tangle of dark shadows about
her head, and her little mouth, which
often has such mutinous curves, is as
scarlet as pomegranate.
She has been twice around the world
in the Alva, and in many strange coun-
tries; and the little sprite can talk in
Japanese and Italian as well as in Ger
man and French. In fact she is high
ly educated as though she were prin-
cess royal, plays classical music,
sketches, rides, and drives, and knows
more about the stars and the waves
than many college graduate.
Some day each of these children will
probably have a fortune of at least
$40, 900, 900, and when they make their
debut into society they will eclipse all
other heiresses of the time. Both girls
are always simply dressed-pretty
ginghams trimmed with white EN-
broidery, russet shoes, and big flower
trimmed hats for the morning. and soft
white mulls and muslins, with broad
sashes, white hats, and fine black stock
ings and patent leather ties for the af-
ternoon.
They are never seen at night, but
are tucked away in their little beds,
sleeping the beauty sleep that will
grow them into beautiful young wo-
men. They spend their days playing
tennis, horseback riding, driving their
ponies to little, light wood dog carts,
and 60 to dancing and swimming
schools. Each girl has governess,
who devotes her entire time to her pu-
pill, and, if they do not grow into beau
tiful, cultivated women, it will not be
from lack of attention.

Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite coal trade continues
excessively dull and it Is without any
especially noteworthy feature. During
the past two or three weeks better
effort has been made by the several COM
panies to restrict the output, so that the
total production for this year thus far
has been reduced to more tnan quarter
million of tons less than that mined in
the corresponding period of 1889. The
condition of the anthracite business in
the Eastern and Western States is like
wise in a stagnant state, the supply of
coal there being superintendent and the
demand small. The tonnage of anthra-
cite received at Boston harbor for the
seven months ending July 81, 1890, was
906,6S5 tons, an increase of 113, 1868 tons
compared with the quantity received
there in the corresponding period of last
year.
The Pottsville Miners Journal has the
following about the anthracite trade
"There has been no increased activity in
the trade since last report. 1t was hoped
that the first week in August would show
some sign of improvement, but the re-
ports from the coal centres show that the
sluggishness of the June and July trade
has not been disturbed. OF course this
inactivity cannot continue long, and it is
possible that before September / there
will be gratifying change for the bet
ter. The output continues heavy, but
the sales are limited and the prices even
below the list prices. The tonnage in
stock cannot remain longer than Sep
tember 1st, when the heated term begins
to abate and the mills resume more regu-
lar work. The domestic trade will also
take squirt by that time and the de-
mand will show decided improve
ment."
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August I'd, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 719,715 tons,
compared with S60, ,294 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, decrease of
140,5 $40 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 49, ,sS2, 1858 tons compared with 10, 176,-
42S tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 293, 1865 tons. ns.-Ledqer.
