National and State Debts.

The census superintendent has made a
very prompt report of the debt OF the
United States and of the several states in
1880 and 1S90-a statement that affords
good evidence Of the general prosperity
of the country. The total bonded and
floating debt of the United States and the
several states in 1850, less cash and funds
ON hand, was $l2,l27,0l7,y 1899. 1t was re-
duced in ten years 81 oil ,305, $50, or more
than one-half, and now stands at 81 ,035,-
7l2, S0S. By far the larger part of the
debt is that Of the United States. The
net debt of the several states is now
1872, 33G, 699, being $72, $3.50 less than
in 1880. The great bulk of the state
debts is owing by the Southern states.
The Eastern and Middle states together
only owe about $l2 $1,000, and this is
more than Offset by the excess of assets
over debt in those groups Of states. YER
mont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,, New
York and New Jersey have no net debt,
but, on the contrary, assets beyond the
debts; Pennsylvania owes only 81 1920.
Altogether there are 20 states in the
Uuion with assets beyond their debts.
The showing is favorable in every part of
the country except in the States that
formed the Southern Confederacv. Nearly
all of these have heavy state debts, which,
it is true have been reduced $2S ,0O0,00O
in 10 years, but only by the enforced re-
funding of the old debt into new at dis
count varying from % to 80 per cent
Four states that had a net debt in 1850,
show assets beyond their debts in 1880,
and seven an increase of net indebtedness
OF the latter four are Southern, two Wcs-
tern and one (Delawarc) of the Middle
States group.

Tale of u Haunted Wrap.

a lady spent the night recently at a
friends house as guest. The evening
was chilly one, and upon going to bed
the hostess gave her visitor volumnous
wrap with which to kced herself warm.
The lady wore the wrap all night and
found it very comfortable, but. ncverthc-
less, she did not rest very we'll on account
of mysterious noises that she heard. Some
times she even imagined that she heard
groans, SO that more than once she was at
the point of getting up to see what the mat
ter was. In the morning at brcakfas she
was asked by her hostess how she had
slept, and replied that she had been dis
turbcd by uncomfortable sounds.
"Oh, how awfully interesting" cx-
claimed the hostess. "And what were
they like"
The guest described them rs best she
could, while the hostess listened with
rapt attention.
How interested my husband shall be.
was so anxious to know if you would
have any such experiences, because my
first husband died in the wrap lent you
and it has been our belief that it is
haunted. But we have never had an OPP
portunity to try it on Il stranger before,
and your evidence is, Of course, conclu-
sivc."
The good lady had been so carried
away by the enthusiasm Of the scientific
investigation that she forgot for the time
being to regard the comfort of her guest.

What Tears are Made of.

The principal element in the compost
ton of a tear, as may readily be supposed
SAYS the Brooklyn Standard, is water
The other elements are salt, soda, phos-
phate of soda, and mucus, each in small
proportions. A dried car seen through a
microscope of good, average power repre-
sents peculiar appearance. The water
after evaporation leaves behind it the
saline ingredients, which amalgamate and
form themselves into heightened cross
lines and look like number of minute
fish bones. The makeup is just the same
whether the tears are for JOY or grief.
The tears arc secreted in what are called
the "lachrymal glands" situated over the
cyeball and underneath the lid. The con-
tents of these glands are carried along
and under the inner surface of the eyelids
by means of six or seven very fine chan
nels, and are discharged little above the
cartilage supporting the lid
The discharge of tears from the lach-
rymal glands is not occasional and acct
dental, as is commonly supposed, but
continuous. 1t goes on both day and
night-though less ahundantly at night
through the "conduits," and spreads
equally over the surface of the lids After
serving its purpose the flow is carried
away by two little drains, situated in that
corner of each eye nearest the nose, into
which they run, and called the lachrymal
uojntc ~

THE FIRST OVEN.
Mr.. Tsggart, Manager OF the Virginia Coal
Iron Company has the First Coke
Oven Charged on Preachers

The first coke ovon on the property OF
tho Virginia Coal Iron Company. loca-
ted on Preachers Creek, xix miles from
town, was charged Saturday evening.
About fifty openings have been made on
the property, and within year probably,
four hundred ovens will be in operation.
Thus far, the difficulty has been the need
Of transportation. The railroad is now
within four miles of tho openings and it
will be several months yet before it will
reach Thorn. Meantime it has been and must
be difficult to transport material to the
property as the wagon road is in wrctchcd
condition.
This one oven has been constructed in
order to get full furnace charge by the
time tho road reaches tho point when the
coking qualities of the coal will he thor
oughly tested
Mr.. Taggart, who spent many years
managing the great Connellsville Coking
Company and ii an expert in such mat
tiers, has no doubt of the superior quality
Of the coal. and the more openings he
makes the more delighted he is.
With great difficulty q saw mill has
been hauled over the miserable roads and
is now in operation saving timber for the
buildings. Sixty houses 30I26 feet each
are to be constructed at once for the
operatives, and the moment the railroad
reaches the point, the construction of
ovens will be pushed as rapidly as posi-
bic. At present it would DO impossible
to move tho coke if it wore made, rs to
make the industry profitable coke must
lie transferred from the ovens to cars,
thus avoiding rchandling.
But the houses for the operatives will
be built as soon az q sufficient quantity
Of lumber is sawed.
In short, everything that can be done be-
fore the railroad reaches tho locai,yi is be-
ing done.

The Mail Trouble.

Editor PoS:-In your last issue, you
gave us little ripping up the back as
the darkev preacher terms it. Now l am
glad to see that YOU are on the lookout
for all that goes wrong in the town, and /
am one that will improve by the same but
! want to correct the article us to the time
of arrival and delivery of the mail. The
train arrived ut the depot at 4:43 o'clock,
and there was no one there to receive the
mail, the train being late, and the agent
said he did not know when they would ar
rive, as they had had II collision ON the
road. The boy came back and put his
horse in the stable, and about 3:l5 O'Clock:
Mr.. kilbournc came in and casually re-
marked that the mail was at the depot.
ordered the boy to hitch up and 80
after it at once, and told the assistant
to get his supper and be ready for the
delivery of the mail, for it would be
heavy He went to supper, and just be-
fore he returned, the mail come in and
took charge Of it. 1t was something after
6 O'Clock. The assistant and myself
worked at it until O'Clock, delivered the
mail and closed for the night.
We would like for the PosT to correct
the statement as to the time. We try to
work the Office to accommodate the people
and ut times reach over the law to do so
You can use such Of this as you want, and
We are with you, in trying TO keep things
in the right. ]. N. GooDLos, p. NJ.
By w. 7. GooploE, Asst.
We are glad Mr.. Goodloc has cor
rected misrepresentation in regard to the
time Of arrival and opening the mail
1t seems the PosT was wrong, in the mat.

HELD THEIR BREATH.
All on Account of IA Girls Performance on
Slack Wire.
(Memphis Avalanchc.)

Sidck wire.
(Memphis Avalanchc)
Mr.. Randolph announced that the lady
would perform an act on the slack wire.
She balanced herself on the wire and
trippcd back and forth while the audience
looked on with that apathy and air of be-
ing half-borcd which charucterizes all
shows that are thoroughly familiar to
the theatre and circus patron.
All at once the fair performer drew Il
few pins from the bay window of her dress
and drew that garment off, leaving her
standing on one foot, clad in an elaborate
lace skirt.
The audience awakened from its indif-
ference, and the show became endowed
with a new interest.
More pins were extracted, and over her
head went the skirt.
The audience became excited.
Next the bus-dress improver came
off. 1t had no longer any dress to i'm
prove and its occupation was gone.
The audience had began to speculate as
