Speak as Educated Gentlemen.

There is apparently an undiminish-
ing interest in the fact that the Earl of
Dunraven speaks without what is gem
orally known here as an English accent.
1t is natural enough for us to look con-
tidently for certain ear-marks in dis
tinguished visitors, because we have
been taught for many years that British
noblemen say "dontcherknow," wear
clothes of a checked pattern, hobnailed
boots. single glasses, heavy canes, and
are wont to make grewsome and amaz-
ing dialect of the Queens English. 1t
is SO in fiction and on the stage. Those
New York swells who go to England
every year for three months al
ways return with an accent that is as
fearful and murderous as that of a
drunken costermonger. Il have
talked" saws a writer in New York
Truth, with many men of lofty title in
England, when it was necessary to in
terview them in a business way for the
papers, but [ have never yet found one
who was addicted to the use of English
as our swells ape it." Indeed, their
talk does not vary III any degree from
that of travelled American gentlemen.
Nor does one see checked clothes,
heavy canes, and hobnailed boots in
London, except where the vulgar dwell.

EFFECT OF AIR ON COAL.

Under Certain Conditions Spontaneous
Combustion is Likely to Occur.
A thorough and scientific examina-
ton made by an English chemist on the
effect of air and ventilation on coal
gives the following results:
First, the danger of spontaneous firing
of coal in large Jumps is very slight, but
is much greater with smaller coal and
greater still with dust, the increase of
danger being due to the larger extent
of surface exposed to the air in proper
ton to the mass of the coal; second, air
dried coal which contains more than 3
per cent. of moisture is dangerous, but
if it contains less the danger diminishes,
the moisture contained being a measure
of the absorbent power of the coal for
air, and the more absorbent the coal
the more dangerous; third, the danger
is somewhat increased by the pres
ence of pyrites in large quantity fourth,
newly won coal should be shielded
from the air as much as possible to pre-
vent the chance of rapid heating, and
for the same reason it is best not to
stack it in large heaps, since these re-
tain the heat; fifth, all external sources
of heat such as steam pipes, boilers,
and hot hues in the neighborhood OF
the coal, add very greatly to the risk,
spontaneous heating becoming vastly
more rapid when it is assisted from
without OF course these conclusions
have special relation to coal that is
stored or shipped in cargoes.-NeW

A British Yachtsman.

Lord Ormondeis the recognized head
of the yacting world in Great Britain,
being the vice-commodore of the Royal
Yacht Squadron. The Commodor is
the Prince of Wales, whose functions
are, of course, purely honorary. The
Marquis, a great, strapping man, stand
ing considerable over six feet, served
for time in the Life Guards On
leaving the army, he went in extensive
ly for yachting, and has made numer-
Gus expeditions after big game in the
Rocky Mountains and in the Far West.
His one sorrow is that he has no son.
The ancient title, as we'll as his heridi-
tary dignity of Chief Butler of Ireland,
conferred upon his family seven CEN
turtles ago, will descend, therefore, at
his death to his younger brother, Lord
Arthur Butler, who is married to Miss
Ellen Stager, of Chicago

No Quarter to an Argyle.

Early last summer there came over
here a well-born and scholarly Scotch
woman, who, wishing to stay and study
thoroughly the beauties Of the White
City, secured the place of manager of
one of the state buildings. A weary
woman came into the parlors of the
building one day recently, says the New
York Times, and, sitting down upon a
handsome sofa, first rested against it's
cushions, then turned and put her feet
up to secure reCumbent posture. The
Scotchwoman approached and object
ed. "But | am tired" said the 9TH

NSWNRt ChnrifY.N

In the Artists Exhibition of 1893 at the
New York Academy Of Design, there was
exhibited an oil painting by J, L. G. Ferris,
entitled "Sweet Charity" It's richness of
cOloring commanded instant attention,
while the lesson it taught was so impressive
that one naturally returned to it for a sec
ond view.
It's subject is a young lady of colonial
times who is on an Grand of charity to one
of the poorer families of the town. She has
a sensible, charming face, which expresses
with remarkable fidelity the sentiment OF
her Grand. There is not a home that this
charming picture will not ornament. 1t
must be seen to be appreciated.
Sweet Charity was purchased by the
publishers Of The Youths Companion and
has been reproduced in coIors in large size,
144x21.
1t will be sent to all new subscribers to
The Companion who send S1.75 for a years

Broken Mortar Found Thirty-two Feet
Underground at TraNer.
A very interesting relic of some early
day, in the shape of a large stone NOR
tar was brought into Traver Thursday,
says Traver, Cal, dispatch. 1t is
twenty-four inches in diameter across
the top and eighteen inches deep and is
nearly perfect in contour. 1t weighs
seventy-five pounds. There is a piece
broken from one side of the bowl, about
six inches across at the top, tapering to
point at the bottom, which shows the
thickness of the sides to be two inches
at the top and three inches at the bot
tom. The inside of the bowl between
the top and bottom is worn until about
one and one-half inches thick. The
find was made while digging a well on
the Burris ranch, six miles west of
Traver. 1t was found at depth of
thirty-two feet, which indicates that it
has been buried for ages. This find, in
connection with relics of similar char
acter found in and around this locality,
bears out the idea of a prehistoric race
at one time inhabiting this valley.

He Had Caught the Yachting Vernacular,
That's All.
"Come, now" said Philip Gratebar
to the housemaid as he entered the
breakfast room, "set your spinnaker
and get in the coffee"
'What ?" said Mary.
"Hoist your ballon jib," said Philip
"and hustle in the breakfast"
Mary fled to the kitchen, not for the
br eakiast, but en- route to the upper
regions.
''Was Philip crazy?'' she asked of
Mrs. Gratebar. Mrs. Gratebar thought
not, but with maternal solicitude she
went below to see. Philip sat at the
breakfast table reading the morning
paper.
"Come now," he said to Mary, whom
he saw following his mother, "set your
jib topsail and get a move on you, will
you?'
"Give him his breakfast, Mary" said
Mrs. Gratebar. She had seen at a
glance that he was not crazy, but was
simply suffering from that delightful
affliction of youth, good appetite, ag-
gravated at the moment by the account
of the Yacht race.-NeW York Sul.

A Girl Station Agent.

Passengers over the Rumford Falls
& Buckfield road always notice upon
the platform at East Peru a plump and
pretty girl who wears the regalia of the
station agent. She wears a cap with
gold lace and brass shield, and on the
shield is Station Agent" This is Miss
Lille Howard, and she has had charge
of the station at East Peru for some
time. She is attentive to her duties,
the trainmen always have smile and a
pleasant word for her, and many drum
mer vainly attempts to appropriate a
share of her smile as the train whisks
past. IT'S needless to comment on the

Warm Welcome Planned,

George Vanderbilt, who has bought
the larger part of a county down in
North Carolina with the intention OF
founding sort of baronial estate, finds
himself much in the position of an Irish
landlord. The natives of the district,
who are Baptists, moonshiners and free
born Americans of the most aggressive
type, imagine that he is trying to estab-
lish a monarchy or some other form of
despotism, and all the Winchesters and
six-shooters in the mountains are being
put in order to give him a warm recep-
tion if he ventures into that locality.

Navassa's relations TO the United

The United States exercise over the
island a sort of eXtra-territorial juris-
diction because it's sole source of wealth,

and labor from this country. Navassa,
however, is named in the constitution
of that country as Haytian territory,
and the constitution provides that no
part of the national possessions shall be
coded or sold to any foreign power.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the'needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
