the class that wool comes off the sheep

to keep us warm in cold weather, and he
proceeded to question little Willie, who
had been rather inattentive during the

''where does wool come from?"
"Of the sleeps back, teacher" replied
Willie.
''And what them" inquired the teacher.
Willie could not answer.

CONVERSATION AND TALK.
An Art In Which Great Scholars Are N
Usually Proficient.

An Art In Which Great Scholars Are Not
Usually Proficient.
Conversation is as much Of an art as it
Is an accomplishment. It has been noted
that in America we have plenty of takers,
but few conversationists. To converse
well intelligence, backed up with fair
knowledge of men and things, is the first
requisite. Our greatest scholars are far
from being our best conversationists.
Neither are they, as a rule, good public
speakers.
The most noted English conversation
list was the celebrated DR.. johnson, of
whom Macaulay, the English historian,
said, "The influence exercised by his con-
versation was altogether without a par
allel." AS DR.. johnson was a man Of
eminent learning, our readers may think
we have been too fast in saying that great
scholars are not often good conversation
lists.
johnson is said to have made sharp
distinction between talk and conversation,
and when speaking of an evening spent in
society he once remarked, ssThere was
plenty of talk, but no conversation. " He
was one of class of great literary men,
like Addison and Steele, who seem to have
gone out of existence with the last CEN
fury. In these days men of genius drift
into certain narrow channels. They con-
centrate their thoughts on some special
object and make that the study of life
time.
The result of applying all ones mental
powers to one hobby has its advantages,
for the subject treated is exhaustively
studied, every phase of it becomes under
stood, and many new and often valuable
discoveries are brought to light and use.
When we say that our greatest men are not
good conversationists,. we mean, therefore,
the great men of the present century, al
most all of whom are bound up in some
special work, and we except journalists of
ability, from the fact that it is their duty
to know everything in the estimation of
the people. -Philadelphia Call.

Only Pumps Working in AL

TWO MINES ON FULL TIME
The Rest Remain Stalled by Water and
Cannot Turn Out Coal Before Monday.
One or Two May Require More Time to
Get the water out.

The order for all the Philadelphia q
Reading Coal x Iron Company's collieries
to resume operations on full time-six
days a week and ten hours a day-still
holds good, but only two collieries are
able to take advantage of it. These are
the Tuskey Run and Maple Hill collierie-.
They worked full time yesterday and to.
day.
The issuance of the order was not due
to any pressure brought to bear by the
bituminous strike and 1t is not believed
that it will remain in force after all the
collieries are ready for operation. A
prominent mine official said yesterday,
Il do not think it means full time for all,
but rather full time for all the collieries
that can work to keep all the coal that
would be supplied by all the mines work
ing three-quarter time for four days a
week"
This belief seems to be general. When
the cOllieries now stalled by water are
made ready the company will revoke its
full time order and put all mines on the
same working time that prevailed before
the freshets.
Extra efforts are being put forth to get
the KOhinoor cOlliery in operation again
Yesterday an additional pump was put
into the mine. 1t is large one of the
"
not resume operations before Monday.
Indeed, it is not thought that any of the
mines at this place now ready can be put
in operation before that time.
Kelley Run colliery will also complete
a week of idleness Superintendent Baird
said last night that the two remaining
days will be used to get ready for steady
work next week.
The Knickerbocker and Ellengowan
collieries are still idle and will remain so
until next week. The former had seven
feet of water in its workings added and
by hard work it was reduced three and a
half feet, but the storm of Wednesday
| night and yesterday raised the water CON
! siderably. Ellengowan had nine feet of
water in its workings before it was flooded
| by the last rain fall. 1t is possible that
| this place may not be able to start up
again until the middle of next week.
Some sensational reports have been Cir
culated concerning the safety of the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Com
pany's Anthracite dam near Natesville
but an investigation shows that there is
no necessity for apprehension. 1t seems
that there are some large cracks in the
wall at the weir of the dam and people
who happened to see them jumped TO the
conclusion that the breastwOrk was giving
away. Officials visited the place and
they were assured by the watchmen that
the cracks were old ones, caused early
last winter by heavy frosts.
A careful examination was made and
resulted IN the conclusion that the cracks
were superficial and the breastwork was
perfectly sound. However, to allay all
apprehension, Mine Foreman Joseph
Knapp, of the Knickerbocker colliery
sent a number of men to the place and by
making waste way about four feet wide
at the east end of the breastwork sue
ceeded in drawing enough water to relieve
the cracked portion of the wall of all
strain.

The Memorial Day committee will meet

Flowers are very scarce this year and

every body resolve to contribute to the

LANDSLIDE NEAR MORBA.

Into the Obstruction.
Special to the HERALD.
MoREA, May 25.-Engine 2Os5 Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, hauling a coal
train toward Pottsville, ran into a land
slide here at . o'clock this morning.
Engineer Frank Smith, of Nescopeck,
was injured in jumping to save his life.
The scene of the slide is in deep cut
near Dodson's siding. Engineer Smith
with his gaze fixed upon the path of light
ahead was first to notice the obstruction
He whistled for brakes and jumped into
the ditch, injuring leg The train rushed
forward plowing into the obstruction.
The smoke stack was knocked off and the
engine otherwise damaged, but the mo-
mentum of the train carried it through
and beyond the fall.
Shortly afterward an immense body of
loose dirt and rock fell from the embank-
ment, covering the track for twenty yards
and to the depth of ten feet.
Traffic was delayed for several hours
and until connection could be made
through Dodson's siding. Trains are now
running on time. Engineer Smith was

QUAKAKE, May 25.-This quiet and

unusual excitement yesterday morning

The stolen property consisted Of shirts,

amounts to 5000. Two sheets are also
missing from the clothesline in which it
Is supposed that they carried away their
booty.
An entrance was effected through a
trausom over the front door. From the
appearance of the stOreroom it is evident
that the lu glars were in the place for
several hours as everything was scat
tered around in the search for valuables.
No trace of the robbers has been dis
covered but the authorities in neighboring
towns have been notified to be on the
lookout. Searching parties are also sCour-

may be in hiding about some of the many
rocks and caves on the hills.
