Vast Coal supply IN Japan.

For agriculturists the Japaac,s
island of Yezo, though nearly the size
OF Ireland, does not appear to offer
much attraction, but its coal mines
seem likely to prove Of more and more
Importance. Fifteen years ago it was
estimated by the American engineers
who made the first surveys for the
government that the workable coal
beds Of Yczo contained $50. 600, COO
900 tons, or about twO-thirds as much
as the coal beds of Great Britain.
This startling estimate has just been
more than confirmed by otlicia! govern.

In the island, at Iwanai, in the Prov

barely 2.000.0 900 tons. As regards

him.
The second man, in the meantime,
had taken to his heels, and the

for some reason the panther did not
improve his opportunity. While the

the beast would set his teeth first
he turned away, leaving the man
considerably upset in more ways
than one, but entirely unlnjured.

T,;o Last OF His lsnce,

a good story IS told of pursc-prouu
old nO1.cman who was travelling
through the rural districts OF Sweden
In that country the people do not
have quite as much respect for the
titled aristocracy rs in some other To-
calitics on the continent. One day
this noblcman came rolling up to Il
country tavern, and as he stopped his
carriage he called out In an impcr!ous
tonc.---
"Horses, landlord-horses at once"
Il am very much panied to inform
you that you will have to wait over
an hour before fresh horses can be
brought up" replied the landlord.
How" violently exclaimed the
nobleman. This to me! My man,
l demand my horses at once."
Then observing the fresh sleek.
looking horses which were being led
up to another carriage, he said,-
"For whom are those horses?"
They were ordered for this gentle
man." answered the landlord, point
ing to tall, slim individual a fe W
PAGES distant.
Say, uy NliIl Cdllcu Out Iut
nobleman to the slim gentleman,
will you let me have those horses If
l pay you liberal bonus?"
NO" answered the slim gentle
man, II intend to use them myself. ~
This to me" exclaimed the noble
man.
That's what said," replied the
slim man.

tated and irate robleman. Il am.

Height OF waves.

That ocean waves run mountains
high no one ever believed unless he
was very credulouS indeed. The
phrase is highly exaggerated figure
of speech. But the observations OF
keepers of lighthouses in every ex-
posed situations have proved that
waves run high enough, in great
storms, to make very respectable
hills. Some time ago the steamer
that carried supplies to the light.
house on Tillamook Rock, on the
coast of Oregon, was able to make a
landing ann establish communication
with the light-keepers for the first
time in six weeks. 1t brought away
the chief light-keeper who had .
thrilling story to tell.
The waves of the Pacific tore AVA
the wharves and other constructions
riyeted to the rCCk. As yet. how
ever, the lantern remained untouched.
But the storm increased; the waves
rose higher, and presently dashed
against the lantern, 100 feet above
the level OF the sea. Finally the
water dashed clear over the top OF
the beacon, coming in at the venti-
iators in the roof.
The keepers were compelled to WORK
desperately all night long to keep the
lamp lighted. They were contIn-
ually in fear that the panes of glass
looking seaward would be broken in
by the force Of the waves. and that
they should themselves bc washed
out into the sea to certain death.
But the iron lattice work outside the
windows saved the glass.
The light-keepers, who were ole
sailors, affirmed that no experience
On shipboard could lie so horrible as
this long struggle with the storm at
would have been glad to take refuge
even in frail ship.
The Tiliamook light has on prev
iouS occasions been washed COM
pleteIy over by the waves. The same
thing has happened to the EddyStone
Light off the coast of England, and
to the light at Fleauy-de- Brcchot, oil
the the coast of France, both OF
which are upwards of $50 feet in
height.
1t seems very well established
therefore, that the waves may mount
to a height Of $50 feet above the
general level, where there are rocks
or other distractions to break. On
the ocean they would hardly rise 50
high above general level; but as each
wave is accompanied by a depression
If corresponding debth, the vessel
which is carried from the wave may
truly be said to climb great hill OF
waves

Old HiokorH's Manners.

Dayy Crockett used to say that
Gen. Jackson was the politest man
he ever met. 1t was while Jackson
was President that Crockett paid his
respects at the White House 1.-The
President was glad to see me, and we
talked a long time" said Crockett.
''and finally the general asked me if
l wouldn't like to have drink, say
ing he had !. fine brand that was the
rale old stuff, and of course l could
not refuse the President. So he went
and brought it out, and he didn't tell
me to pour out one. He didn't bring
out any glasses at all, but in genuine,
good, old true Mexican style he
handed me the demijohn and then
turned his back, and swung it upon
my arm and began to pull at it. Such
liquor I had never tasted, and l
couldn't let 20 for a long time, but
the President never turned round un-
til I said tBob,' and tell you that is
what ! call real, true, genuine po.
liteness, and that is why I say that
old Gen. Jackson was the politest
man l ever saw.-Cincinnati Times

Women IN Italy.

Unlike most European countries,
Italy has in its population a slightly
larger number Of men than women;
but Notwithstanding that very
large proportion of women OF the
working classes is found in outdoor
employments, and travellers say that
woman takes upon her far more than
her fair share of the country's labor
OF the 1l,000, 900 women in Italy
nearly 1000, 900 are employed in in-
dustrial labor and over 1900, 600 in
agriculture. They are in the majori-
ty in the cotton, linen and jute in

are III, 900 women employed and but

also favorite pastime OF ln1he In tht
winter and spring, as I find that
knocking down the tenpins keeps my
arm good and strong all the time. A
pitcher should be careful about using
his full strength in the early spring
games The bones and muscles act
contrary, particularly on very cold
day.
1t has been said that a pitcher
when he goes into game should be
prepared to think that 1t is his last.
1 do not believe this, for pitcher
who nurses his strength ought to last
for many years. The long and honor
