Waste Of CoaL

A writer in an English Journal COM
putes that when . steamship propelled
by engines Of twelve thousand horse
power carries five hundred passengers
across the Atlantic, each of those pas
sengers has at his service the equiv
alent of twenty-four horses working
day and night throughout the voyage.
To this must be added the labor of
whole army of employes-the crew,
officers, stewards and miscellaneous
servants-and taking the sum total in
to consideration, the writer referred to
cannot be blamed for pronouncing the
present a highly extravagant age.
Twenty-four horses is certainly lux
urious team for single individual; yet
that is what his share of the coal con-
sumption represents when a swift
steamer of the modern type conveys
him from New York to Liverpool. And
the further fact that
when the earth has given up its long
hidden hoard of coal there is no more
to be had at any price-for coal is not
growing while men are burning 1.-THE
lesson is an obvious one that some
economy ought to be practised in this
Obvious, but perfectly futile.
There being, it may be safely assumed,
coal enough to keep the present gen.
Grafton going, however rapidly and
voluptuously it may live and move,
nothing is more certain than that it
will use its resources to the utmost.
Posterity must take what coal is left.
But possibly posterity may find more
excellent way, and leave the remnant
of coal, if there is any, to biologists
and antiquarians.

A NEW method of making hay has
been introduced by Judge Davis, OF
Columbus, O., who has tried it on his
farm near Mineral Point. The reaper
and binder introduced into a field OF
timothy grass worked splendidly. The
sheaves of grass cured rapidly in shock,
the hay was free from the sand and
dirt that usually collects from raking
the ground, retained much more Of its
sweetness, tenderness and aroma than
if treated by the old scattering and
bleaching process, and Judge Davis
says the hay is not only worth two dol
lars per ton more than if harvested in
the usual way, but that both expense
and labor were saved.

THE virtues Of the hip pocket beau
fet, not generally conceded by prohi-
bitionists and the like, were INDICATED
for once at least at South Beach, near
New York, the other day. A snake
charming girl in a museum was sudden
ly bitten by Texas 'rattler" which she
was fondling. In the midst of the screams
and excitement the hands Of some
half dozen resolute men went straight
to the pockets aforesaid, and, fortunate
~ for the girl, the TASKS were not
empty. The girls rescuers probably ex-
planned why they were so well supplied
on the ground that they anticipated
some such mishap.

THERE is mystery about the build
ing of Castle William, in New York
harbor. Nobody knows who built It,
but the statement is volunteered that
the architect killed himself in disgust
on learning that he had violated a rule
of fort building by planning the port
holes one above another in a right
line. To casual glance the old cir
cular fortress on Governors island ap-
pears to be built of brick, but the ma
terial used is brownstone.

After the Chinese.

The internal revenue bureau of the
United States has undertaken the task
of registering and photographing all
the Chinese residents in this country,
and there are grave doubts as to the
outcome. Experienced officers of the
department fear that the provisions of
the latest exclusion law will be found
almost impracticable of execution.
Every Chinese in the United States, ex-
cept the retinue of the diplomatic corps
and few recognized merchants, is re-
quired to make an application for res
idence certificate to the nearest internal
revenue collector, describing himself,
his age and occupation, and proving his
identity by presenting and fling three
proof-sheet photographs of his face.
His statements of facts are to be sup
ported by the afidavits of two credible
witnesses, and upon approval of this ap-
plication the collector is authorized to
issue him a certificate of residence. Be
fore the 5th of May next he is liable to
deportation back to China. There are
100000 Chinese in the United States.
Over 1000 of these are in California
and 1000 in Oregon, and there the brunt
of the enforcement of the exclusion act
will fall But there are nearly 5000 in
New York, over LOO in Pennsylvania
and nearly 1000 in Massachusetts,, be-
sides 700 in Chicago and nearly 500 in
St. Louis, where no slight difficulties
are anticipated.

For Good Country Roads.

The people of Iowa are bestirring
themselves in the matter OF securing
improvements in country roads A
convention was held in Des Moines a
few days ago for the purpose of organ
izing a permanent association. Sew
. .eral hundred of the most influential
citizens of the state took part in the
proceedings, and it is expected that
the outcome will be a system Of good
roads throughout the state. It is to be
hoped that other states will follow the
good example Of Iowa in this respect
and inaugurate an era Of country road
improvements which will be a source of
comfort and advantage to the resi-
dents of every state in the union The
subject cannot be too thoroughly agi-
tated for the welfare of the farming
community. In relation to this impor-
tant matter Chicago paper says:
"While the farming class is the very
backbone of the nation and conserves
in the largest degree its courage and
patriotism, the isolation Of the in
dividual farmer and his family tends to
the destruction of all intellectual and
social growth. In the winter and
spring the farmer and his family cannot
leave the farm to visit friends and
neighbors or the surrounding towns be-
cause the roads are impossible and
they cannot get about. In the summer
and fall they cannot leave because the
farm work presses more than at other
seasons. And SO year after year they
become more and more solitary, more
and more thrown upon their individual
resources, more narrow in mind and
thought-in the midst of civilization
dwelling like Crusoes on lonely
islands"
Let the good work go on.

The true oculist doesn't always pre-
scribe glasses. For example, says a
scientific informant, a young woman
whose eyesight had become very much
impaired was ordered, first Of all, to
have ten or a dozen amalgam filings
drilled out of her teeth. She was told
that she might take her choice between
having the holes stopped up with gold
and having all the teeth drawn. She
was next ordered to stop wearing a cor
set, and next she was subjected to a
course of treatment to allay stomach
trouble, a sort of mild dyspepsia. The
doctor told her that, though glasses
might give her temporary help, patho-
logical treatment must be resorted to
TO produce permanent improvement
in her eyesight.

IT is nothing unusual to hear of
human hair suddenly turning from
black to white, but to hear of white
hair turning black is something out Of
the ordinary. 1t is said that, up to a
few months ago, Jacob Lauck, an old
man of sixty-seven years, residing in
Berkeley county, W. Va, was the pos
SCISSOR of a snow-white head of hair.
But in recent months a gradual meta
smorphosis has been taking place in this
respect. 1t began with the appearance
of few hairs of an intensely black
color, which gradually became more
numerous until, at the present time,
very few white hairs can be seen in his
head. Mr.. Lauck and his neighbors
alike are at complete loss to account
for the unexpected renewal Of a youth
ful hue in locks once sivered.

WomaH'S Brain.

Proof accumulates that the average
woman has as good brain as the aver
age man, and can use 1t to even better
advantage when occasion requires.
Last year there were 2,0s4 examina-
tons for the 5000 per annum govern
ment copyist places. Out of this num-
Der half the men failed, but only one
woman in six failed, and 1, 204 of the lot
were women. For clerkship in the
classified departmental service, where
the salaries range from $1,000 to $500,
every fourth woman and every third
man examined failed to pass. In the
higher technical department women
again scored a triumph. For the posi-
ton of genealogical clerk, four men out
of five examined failed and three
women out of four examined passed.
I'm all, 5,251 persons were examined, s.,
ATS men, 1,776 women. Of the men, l.
$50 passed, and of the women 1,417, the
women doing twice as well as the men.
