How She Wrote 1t.

One of the qualities necessary to sue
cess in any line of work is the ability to
think and act practically upon the every
day questions Of life.
A young woman who had charge of
the cataloguing of the accounts of a
Philadelphia bank employed as an as
sistant girl apparently intelligent and
well educated, to whom she gave the
necessary directions for the work. One
of the instructions was that, while she
was to write out the full name where an
abbreviation was used, she must never
abbreviate name.
One day the young woman in charge
found the following peculiar name and
address, neatly written out by the as
sistant, "Saml. Brown, trustee for
George and Minnie Section, Academy Of
Natural Sciences"
Somewhat surprised at the address,
she asked to see the ledger from which
it was copied. The ledger read, "Saml.
Brown, trustee for Geo. and Min. Sec
ton, Academy of Natural Sciences"
The young woman had never studied
either geology or mineralogy, but when
the matter was explained to her she
found that the word "Section" is not al
ways surname, and that Geo." may
be an abbreviation for something quite
different from George.-Youth's Com
paniOn
Los Angeles herald., 1892-04-28
Pure Coal.

Much of our English coal is of some
what low quality. Not only does it con-
tain slate and other earthly impurities,
but also, unfortunately, pyrites, more
than one-half of which consists of sui
phur. Our coal fields are being worked
out with velocity which produces anx-
iety in the minds of all who are inter
ested about the future of the country
We cannot afford to waste even the
poorest kind of fuel, and the propriety
of restricting expectation has repeatedly
been urged with powerful arguments.
But in the meantime the burning of i'm
pure and dirty coal is source of tribu-
lation to housekeepers and of injury to
manufacturers.
A process of Mr.. Luhrig's appears to
be an improvement upon various pre-
vious attempts, renders it possible for
colliery owners to clean, and to some
extent purify, without great expense,
the coal before it is sent away. The
system involves a series Of operations,
in which are included dry separation,
breaking, sizing, washing, recovery of
sludge, automatic transportation, etc.
It is said that the method is already in
successful operation in many places, and
from a sanitary, no less than from an
economic, point of view every one must
hope for its success.-London Lancet.
