Our National Thanksgiving Day.
Waterman.

The national observance of Thanks
giving day was brought about by a
woman. Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, of Phila-
delph:a, began about 1874 to urge,
through the magazine of which she
had charge, and by personal CORE
spondence with the governors of
states and with presidents of the
United States, that Thanksgiving day
should be made a national festival,
and be held on the same day through
out the country. Her suggestion was
adopted twenty years later by Presi-
dent Lincoln. and the observance Of
Thanksgiving by the nation has now
become stablished.-United Presby-

VI yOre,
In the youth of the nation,
When the harvest had yielded its store
There was feast and oblation.
Or when danger had lifted its hand,
from the lips of the living
There rang through the length Of the land
A Thanksgiving! THANKSGIVING!
Our home was a wilderness then
With the floods to entold it;
To-day With its millions of men,
We rejoice to beholdit,
From the sea 70 the surge Of the sea,
: We have ali for treasure;
We are blest Ia the promised to-be
In q manifold measure.
War naunts not a red pennon now,
For the olive Is regal
Like birds that are twin, on one Dough
Sit the dove and the eagle.
The clash of the conflict that cleft
We in sorrow remember,
But the fire Of the great feud has left
In the ash scarce an ember.
For the fruit of the time Of our toll;
For whate'er we have fought for;
Whether born OF the brain or the soil
Be the need we have sought for:
For the gifts We have had from His hand
Who Is Lord of all living,
Let there ring through the length OF the land
Ths nksgiving! Thanksgiving!

COAL.
Enormous Production of the Mines of the
United States.

Enormous Production of the Mines of the
United States.
A bulletin has been published ly
the United States geological survey
setting forth the coal production of
the country in the course of the year,
which contains some interesting fig
ures. From these it appears that the
total production Of all kinds of coal
in 1892 was 100, l15, 42l gross tons, or
l79, 329,0 7l net tons. This includes
the coal used at the mines In the
work OF operating and v~entilating
them. 1t also includes the coal con-
sumed by the employees at the IN mes.
The anthracite coal producing States
are Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nesw
Mexico and Virginia. 1t is unneces-
sary to state that PENNSYLVANIA leads
all other sections in its production of
anthracite. The other territories
mentioned produce SO little of this
kind Of coal that they are hardly
worth consideration in this respect.
though the snallnesS of the yield in
some cases is due as much to the lack
OF enterprise in developing their re-
sources as to any other reason.

cite Pennsylvania furnished 49,.

Prof. NippOld, who was for m nv

the bath had the exactly contrary

springs bubble up out of the earth at
a temperature Of l5S degrees Fahren-

that their time of ordeal has come.
In the middle of the bath house is a

GOunOd and Faust.

A few of GounOd'S masses are still
popular in the choir lofts, but his
o~rator:os have been shclved, and it
has long been recognized that he Will
be remembered solely as the composer
of Faust" With that opera he
reached the elimination Of his
achievements and the zenith of his
popularity. Only n other of his
dramatic works has been associated
with it as a possible rival in the
critical mind. ''Romeo ct Juliette,"
has enjoyed only a small fraction of
the popular favor bestowed on
Faust" The career Of this work
is, indeed, without parallel in the
annals Of the lyric stage. Nearly
two years ago it celebrated its six
hundredth performance at the Grand
Opera in Paris. into whose list it was
accepted in 1869. In the ten years
during which it belonged to the re-
pertory of the Theater Lyrique, it
was performed 400 times. None Of
its companions, save ''Romeo ct
J~uliette," can be said to be living to-
day. ''PhilemonIet Baucis," "Sapho,"
and 'Mireille" have been remodelled
and revised, but all in vain. The
vital spark is not in them, and
galvanism does no good. Under the
circumstances it is easy to understand
how it came to pass that the gossips
of Paris once professed to doubt
Gounod's authorship OF Faust" and
told a pretty fable to the effect that
the opera had been composed by a
monk, whose contempt for the wicked
and frivolous world was so great that,
to escape the burden Iof glory, honor.
and fame which he knew the opera
would bring him, he gave the score
to GounOd. with the injunction to
copy it and announce it as his own.
OF course this is the veriest and fool
iSheSt fiction. The style of compost
ton which characterizes 'Fausu" is
present in all Of Gounod'S operas.
He wrote none of them if he did not
write Faust. "--JIarper's Weekly.
