Coal Receipts In April.

The receipts of coal from the mines on
the Columbia & Puget Sound road last
month show a considerable falling off, as
the Newcastle mine was not producing it's
full capacity, owing to- a partial suspen-
sion for the connection of the new level
with the slope. The figures are as follows:

Concrete Piers For Bridges,

Concrete has been used by the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railway for the
piers of a bridge five spans across the Red
river. These piers were made by first sink
ing at the site of each caisson or box OF
wood 81 by 10 feet in size through the sandy
bottom to rock, which was easily done by
weighing the caisson and then pumping
out the sand and gravel, previously loosen
ed by means of jet OF water These Gals
sons We're then filed with concrete made
of one part of Louisville cement, two parts
of sand and four parts of stone broken to
pass through ring pa inches in diameter.
After the calsson was filled a mold of
two inch plank was made of the form of
the pier. At the bottom it was 90 feet 10
inches long and IL feet wide, at the top it
was feet inches wide and % q feet long,
with semicircular ends. Inside these molds
concrete was placed composed of 400 pounds
of German portland cement, 10 cubic feet
of sand and cubic foot of broken stone
which was allowed to harden thoroughly.
The plank mold was then removed and the
surface covered with a mortar of equal
parts of portland cement and sharp sand.
The river could be forded nearly all the
time the work was in progress and was
sometimes almost dry, although occasional
ly the water would rise to a depth of 20
feet, and the bottom lands in the neighbor-
hood would be flooded for distance of two
miles.-Exchange.

g Are the People.

In many ways the United States have ed
ucated the world i'll politics, and |, for one,
do not hesitate to say that their scheme of
government Is the best that has ever been
established by nation. But in nothing do
we owe more to the Americans than for
their having afforded us the great object
lesson OF Il state pursuing the even current
of its way without that meddling in the
affairs of other states which has been the
bane OF European powers. Here we have a
country rich, powerful, industrial and com
mercial, yet never troubling itself with
what happens outside its frontiers. or an
nexing foreign lands on the plea of philan-
throphy, or on the ground that in some
centuries its area will be too small for its
population. or III order to create markets
for its goods. And what is the result? No
one dreams of attacking the United States,
or of picking a quarrel with them.-Lon-

Against Short engagements.

The fashion ich announces an engage
ment one week and issues invitations for
the wedding the next is not always the SAT-
est and best plan after all, even though it
has been recognized by the leaders in the
gay world and is therefore followed by the
hosts of imitators ever ready to follow in
the footsteps of the favorites of fortune
1t may be old fl fashioned to argue in favor
of at least a Il months engagement, vet
it is far more practical than the short time
that is now considered to be the correct
thing. How can couple understand each
others tastes and temper in n fortnight OF
month? What time have they 70 study
themselves and discover before it l. too late
that they are not suited to each other and
if the engagement were TO end in marriage

The Wife of Moses

We must exam ne the Talmud and the

answer the ques ion of a correspondent:
Did Moses take & negro woman to wifef''
We learn from the twelfth chapter of the
book of Numbers that certain persons
"spake against Moses because of the Ethio-
plan woman whom he had married, for he
married an Ethiopian woman" but it must
be remembered that all the people of the
extensive region alciently known as ETH
opia were not negroes. The Cushite race
lived there in the time of Moses. Perhaps
the wife whom the Lawgiver of Israel mar
ried was IA Cushite or Sabaan. If, how

Efrect of Tobacco ON the Eyes.

| The bad effect of tobacco on the eyes was
unknown even by physicians until within
the present century.
Sixty years ago DR.. Mckenzie of Glasgow
wrote. II have already had occasion re-
peatedly to hint my suspicion that tobacco
Is a frequent cause of amaurosis''-complete
or partial blindness. To one form of this
! disease Hutchinson gave the name of to
bacco amaurosis," because he often found
it in men strongly addicted to the use of
tobacco.
Dr. Williams, the celebrated oculist of
Boston. says, ITO be of service, treatment
in tobacco amaurosis must be begun in the
early stage, before the congestion has been
succeeded by atrophy."
DR.. Francis Bowling of Cincinnati with
in a few years tested the eyes of 100 en-
ployees in the principal tobacco factories of
that city. Only one woman was found to
be suffering from the disease, and she had
never used tobacco This showed that
merely working in the factory had very lit
tie effect on the sight, though it did not
, affect unfavOrably the general system.
OF the men examined IS showed more or
less evidence of amaurosis, 80 of them being
pretty well marked cases. They all mistook

In one case-not among the employees
just spoken of-the contraction of the pupil
was so great that the sufferer was unable
, to 90 about without assistance He had
smoked from 20 to so cigars day He re
nounced tobacco, and his sight was fully
restored in 80 months. Chewing has been
found to be much worse than smoking, as

An Arsume MT For College Sports.

Outside of EN- ergencies there is much to
be said in favor of Drawn, and fortunately
1t Is no longer necessary to argue that
brains are better when there is Drawn be-
hind them, while on the other hand the
time has already come when those who Sc
lect athletes have little use for Drawn with
out brains. So they supplement each other
more and more. The college man carica-
tured for years s consumptive, then as a
big brute, is today neither The type is ap-
preaching more nearly to that of soundness
OF body and mind. Twenty years ago a
father eXhorted his son to study hard and
stand high; now the anxiety is that the stu
dent should not fail to take plenty of exer-
else.
The strongest argument in favor OF school
and college sports is the one advanced By
nature herself She develops the body be
fore the mind. \ man reaches the prime
of physical power years before the maxi
mum of his mental strength is attained.
The best systems, backed by the best ex-
pOnent of the times, have failed to make
physical development popular among men
whose college days and days of youth were
over, who were in the struggle of their
life's work. II then takes too much out of
the man to build up his physique He has
not the time. II he had done the building
years before, eX srcise will prevent retro
gression. Youth is the time for physical
development, the time to expand the chest
and increase the biceps, to take the larger
proportion of bodily exercise. Then in ma
turity the proportion should change to a
mental exercise with the other for relaxa-
tion.-Century
