GrOundleSS Fears.

Since the days of Nautilus fears that
the worlds population would increase
beyond the capacity of the earth to
support have been common. The lat
est scare of this kind is by Mr.. Raven
stein, a member of the British Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science.
He computes that in 1S2 years the
earth's population will increase to
$3.50, 100000, and this would give 2O7
to each square mile of the $4,000, 900 of
fertile lands. 1t is quite likely in light
of recent agricultural improvements
that much land now counted as desert
will be cultivated and improved long
before the era of short rations pre-
dicted for the observation-disclosures. Be-
sides, no account is made of food from
the sea, which has as yet been scarce
ly drawn upon for human sustenance.
Nobody has yet found out the possible
productive capacity of a single acre of
land. In all tropical countries bana-
mas will furnish food for human be-
ing for a year from an extremely small
amount of land. So far in the worlds
history the increase of population has
always been accompanied by increase
of human sustenance, which is the
basis of improved civilization. What
has been will probably continue to be
for an indefinite future.

overworked women of Fashion.

High-pressure society women may
listen to the word of warning uttered
by London periodical: Half the ills
that woman is heir to come, so say
doctors, from the frightfully high pres
sure at which they live nowadays. Sick
headache, or migraine, as they call it
abroad, is universal complaint, and
arises chiefly from overstrain. Ner-
vous irritability, insomnia and hysteria
are all on the increase In the upper
classes. There is mania to see and
be seen; to learn everything, from
political economy to clear-starching. In
short, women of the upper classes do
too much. Perhaps they cannot help
themselves, owing to the exigencies of
society. Look at the women whom one
meets, who have been doing the sea-
son. Are they not pale, worn, anxious,
highly strung? According to a great
medical authority, if only London wo-
men would once in every ten days take
whole days complete rest In bed,
they would retain their health, spirit
and energies much longer than they do.
OF course, this advice is only meant
for really hard working women of
fashion who are obliged to keep late
hours"

The latest fad is Il poverty sociablc.
Every woman must wear calico dress
and every man his old clothes. In
addition, every one is fined twenty-five
cents if he or she does not haye Il patch
on his or her clothing, and "a prize is
given to the one who wears the poorest
garment. We are fully equipped for
that kind of social.

The Maryland Coal Field.

The coal field of Maryland is situated
between Savage and Dams mountains,
in Garrett and Ailegany counties.
The basin Is about twenty five miles
long and about five miles broad.
though not more than five of this is
covered by actual mining operations.
A transverse ridge connects tne Saw
age and Dams mountains and de-
termines the two opposite directions of
drainage. Three-fourths of the basin
is drained by the Georges Creek and
its tributaries, thus giving to the coal
of this region the title of Georges
Greek coal. Coal Trade Joumal.

GENERAL ITEMS.
Roads on the Farm.

The subject of good public roads at
tracts, and deserves a great deal of at
ttentlon. 1t is a subject in which
farmers have greater financial stake
than they haye realized. While the
roads remain as they are the farmers
are constantly losing money by the de-
lays and difficulties of getting their
produce to market. If extensive re-
pairs and reconstructions are attempt-
ed the taxes on farm property will be
considerably increased. If the money
paid for putting the roads in order is
expended by people who understand
making roads, and who are honest as
well as intelligent, it will be proftablv
invested. Good roads cost. but they
also pay. We ought to have them.
10 some extent the principles which
are involved in making and maintain
ing highways also apply to farm roads.
If no roads are provided, or if the
roads which are made are not kent in
order, the difficulty, and consequently
the expense, of moving loads to and
from the barn is considerably ln-
creased. 10 provide and keep in order
farm roads will involve some expense,
but the cost will be many times repaid
by the increased facilities they afford
Tor carrying ON some of the important
farm operations.
While every farm of much size needs
one or more good roads over which the
heavier loads should be drawn there
are places which are in more urgent
need OF attention than are the farms
as whole. Wet, or soft spots, and
hlllsides should have good road beds

To Keep Flowers Fresh.

Carnations, daisies and occasionally
half-blown rosebuds that have been
worn as boutennieres in the evening
may, by careful management, be kept
fresh enough to wear again next dav.
A man in town who has pardonable
Penchant for frequently wearing a
buttonhole bouquet, yet does not wish
to spend from 81 80 to S. day on this
luxurious fancy. puts away his
do"tonn'eres at night as carefully as
woman does her jewels. He makes a
hole in a pasteboard card, clips the
end of the flower and puts it through
the hole in the pasteboard. He then
puts the card over a glass full of fresh
water. The delicate petals of the
flower are thus prevented from touch
ing the water and the stem is in its
full length. AS everybody should
know, water on the petals of cut
flowers destroy their freshness. A
bunch of carnations may be kept to-
gether and their stems put through a
stable hole in the pasteboard card.
Daisies should be separated and the
stems put through individual holes.-

NIittenS.

One hundred years ago gloves were
unknown in country towns. Mittens
were knitted and worn in all families.
If a young man, going home from
singing, school with the young girl of
his choice, was holding her mittened
hand to keep it from getting cold,
took that opportunity to urge his suit
and the offer proved acceptable the
hand would remain. If taken by sur
prise, an effort to withdraw the hand
would leave the mitten. So the sutton
would ''get the mitten," but not the
hand.-Boston TRANSCRIPT.

The Coal Trade.

Shipments of coal from the mines of
the Georges Creek coal region were
in long tons
For week ending Sept. Is, 1881. 1889
- year to same date. ,S95 $40
Increase compared with last year,. 23l, 1866
The latest news from the markets is
CLEANED as follows:
The bituminous coal market shows some
improvement. There is an increasing activity
IN the trade, and the mining regions are in a
fair condition. Many of the mills have gone
to work again, and those which have not vet
done so are generally ordering supplies of
coal in anticipation of the resumption of
operations. This, in addition to the demand
from shoal water ports, and the lack of stocks
at shipping points, will probably bring about
better state of affairs in the market before
long.
Inc car supply remains good on all roads,
and transportation from mines to destination
is also good. The combination of vessel
owners, captains and brokers continues to
maintain the rates of freight which it names
as their minimum rates. The supply of
vessels at all ports is practically equal to the
notwithstanding and Mining Journal.
The bituminous market is feeling little
better. There is more or less transient trade
coming in every day, but no very active
trade can be expected for some time as there
is great deal of coal in stock Every day
comes reports of mills starting up here and
there until now there are few of the larger
ones but what are running as usual The re-
tail operators are doing lively business and
their stocks are decreasing very fast There
is no change in the situation, although there
is some cutting being done by few of the
smaller dealers.-Coal Trade Journal.

About two weeks ago the authorities
of this town were notified that David Kin
ney, who was formerly a resident of East
Randolph but who mad been working in
Adams, n. Y, for the last two years, was
deranged and must be taken care of.
Deputy Sheriff Boswell was sent after him
and brought him back here last week. A
meeting of the probate court was held in
Judge Nichols office Saturday, early in
the afternoon, and the man was adjudg-
ed insane. While they were vet in
the office and the sheriff, with his back
turned toward the prisoner, was talking
with some one, Kinney slipped out and
was gone nearly three minutes before his
absence was noted. Thorough search in
the village and on all the roads leading
from it was Immediately made but with
out success. It. seems that the man went
up the Thayer brook road to three cor
ners, thence to Gilead and past Einley's
bridge to his mothers home in East Ran
dolph, where he was found Sunday fore
noon. Monday morning he was taken to
Brattleboro by the sheriff. Kinney is
about IS years old and has a wife and one
child but has not been living with his
family for some time.
