TO WORK THE CULM DUMPS.
If AN EXPERIMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL
MILLIONS OF TONS OF COAL WILL
BE THROWN UPON THE
MARKET.

PLYMOUTH, Jan. a4.-To-morrow
morning the new culm operator and
washer will begin operations on the
immense culm dumps of the old
Washington Colliery.
Until within the last ten years, all
sizes of coal smaller than stove were
considered unmarketable, and were
thrown out with the dust and refuse.
In that way great piles of culm and
coal, aggregating many millions of
tons accumulated all through the an
thracite regions Now that the smaller
sizes of coal have become SO valuable
for manufacturing purposes, many in
ventors have been trying to solve the
problem of the economical recovery
of these sizes from the culm banks.
The separator and washer which
will be started tomorrow is the first
ever put in operation in Wyoming
Valley for this purpose, and, if sue
cessful, will work revolution in the
trade, throwing on the market millions
Of tons Of pea, chestnut and stove
coal, and cheapening these sizes accord
lngly. The Washington culm bank is
estimated to contain 1900, 900 tons of
dust, slate and coal, of which fully
forty per cent. will prove marketable.
The machine will work 800 tons day.
Wyoming Valley holds more than 100
banks of equal size and richness which
will all be worked if this experiment
results prohtably.

"shirt sleeve" Christians.

1t was Wednesday night-the regular
night for the weekly prayer meeting-and
the lecture room was uncommonly full.
The pastor had taken for his subject the
necessity of Christian work, and he grew
more than usually eloquent over his theme.
He eXhorted his hearers to put the same
earnestness and force into their spiritual
labors that they did into their business.
"Why," he continued, "when | come
round to see you in your working hours, in
your offices and shops, or on your farms, i
don't find you with kid gloves on. No,
your hands are bare and your coats are off
and sleeves turned well back out of the
way; you're working then. Now we want
the same thing in the church; we want
more shirt sleeve Christians"
Having reached this climax, the homely
force of which made a visible impression
upon his hearers, he called upon good old
Deacon Shepard to lead in prayer.
The deacon, as usual, sat in the front
row, and his long, spare form rose slowly
and with characteristic dignity. The seat
was near the big wood stove, and the fire
was hot one He thought it wise, there
fore, before beginning his petition, which
was always of liberal length, to remove his
heavy overcoat.
But as the deacon's overcoat was too
small, while the undercoat was too large,
it was easier to take off the two garments
than the outer one alone. The deacon
knew this and was accustomed to button
the inner coat before removing the other.
Unfortunately, on this occasion he ne
elected the precaution. The congregation
was waiting. He gave a quick tug at
either sleeve, closed his eyes and began to
pray.
Some irreverent boys whose eyes were
open quickly observed the deacon's strange
conduct, the smiles became broader and
more audible, and presently the minister
himself glanced up and saw that the sober
est and most dignified officer of the church
had taken him literally at his word, and
was standing up before the whole house,
on cold winter night, praying in his
shirt sleeves.-Youth's Companion.

The Lost Star.

A little star, a single spark,
Had lost his way among the clouds,
And, weeping, shed his tiny light
Adown the mist of rainy ehrOuds.
He saw no pathway in the dark;
He turned to left, he turned to right,
Along the highway of the night.
A gentle wind, from off the sea
Came whispering up the distant
wales,
And told a story to the rain,
The vapors spread their humid
sails,
And proudly travelled to the lea.
Glad little star, with might and
He joins his glittering host again.
