according to Philadelphia advice, have
been compelled to refuse 10 accept any
more orders for the loading OF anthra-
cite coal. VIcs President Voorhees,
says in an interview: ''The fools have
interfered greatly with our anthracite
business, but the trouble is only TEN
porary. The minos have been Hooded
and work was impossible. Out OF tho
fifty mines operated by the road only
about twelve or fourteen were not
flooded and some work could be prose-
cuted. / expect that within tho
next forty-eight hours things will
be in their usual shape again"
Mr.. Voorhees, was then asked how
many tons of anthracite was being
mined. He answered: yesterday the
road succeeded In getting about 1900
tons of anthracite, and today it was
better. 1t will be still better. Ordina-
rily 20, 900 tons are mined daily. IL
will be but a very short time before all
the orders for loading will be accept
ed" In regard to the condition of the
coal trade of the Lehigh Valley, Presi-
dent Wilbur was informed two days
ago that the mines were flooded. In
side of four or five days the mines will
be cleared of the water and the men
will be able to resume work. The LIE.
high Valley had some coal stored when
the freshet came. and consequently the
storm did not catch the company in a
very bad way.
The bituminous coal trade is still in
a very perplexing condition, and there
Is nothing like the amount mined which
is necessary to fill the orders. This con-
dition of affairs is due largely to the
strike of the bituminous coal miners.
Very high prices are being asked for
the coal, and it ia stated that steam
ships. rather than pay the rates asked,
are clearing for Europe via. st. John,
n. B., where they will take OH board
the necessary fuel to maxi the voyage.
A bituminous coal man said last night
''Bituminous coal is in great demand,
and only q small amount ia being
mined, owing to the strike. Next week
the bituminous coal men will hold u
meeting and will discuss the situation.
Being unable to iget 6ituminous coal
here in sufficient quantities certain par
ties are importing from England 1OO,-
900 tons, which will be here shortly"
MINOR INDUSTRIAL ToHICS
Over 1000 men were made idle by the
closing of the Edgar Thompson Steel
works, at Braddock.
Two Philadelphia divers put into oper-
alton pumps in Halle mine, at Hazleton,

The HenIthfuI Salad.

A most delicious mixed salad of fresh
vegetables is made of equal quantities
Of sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes and
bleached lettuce leaves or e~scarole.
These are tossed in a French dressing
composed Of a salad spoonful of vinegar
and ~ of oil, with a seasoning of salt
and pepper. As q variety one-fourth
quantity Of new potatoes of the waxy
firm kind used by Germans for their
famous salad may be added to this mix
ture Of fresh vegetables. We do not
make enough use In this country of the
bitter salad herbs, some of which are
a delicious tonic to the appetite if cor.
rectly prepared. The most familiar Of
these is the dandelion salad.

in the world between MORE antique and
MORE. Striped MORE antique is very
pretty stuff. The ground color Of the silk
employed in the jacket is yellow, and
the stripes are of black, pale blue and
mauve. The trimmings are chiefly cream
lace and pale blue and h~eliotrope rib
bons. The jacket has a short basque at
the back.
Another pretty tea jacket vas made
Of satin brocado, with enormous sleeves,
having q pink front and large revers of
blue satin lined with pink, q great deal
of rich lace in the front. The sleeves
were of the sling order, apparently hold
ing up the elbow, but widening extern
sively at the shoulders.
The latest within is to wear a black
MORE ribbon about an inch wide round
the neck, about a yard and a quarter
long, to which a watch or jewel is sus-
pended. 1t is fastened round the throat
with a little gold or jeweled slide. It
will be much worn with light colored
dresses. The jewelers. are busy inventing
some trinket to wear thus, in which the
favorite perfume can be placed.

One must be an invalid or GONZALES
cent to appreciate the value Of having
beautiful things in sick room. The
delicate stomach requires morsels Of
food temptingly served, and the sense
of sight is delighted by the use Of prot
ty pieces Of china, glittcring glass and
silver and snowy linen. The eye longs
for beauty. A rose, an illustrated
book, bit Of familiar scenery, a piece
of color in stuff or paint, any graceful
form or artistic object may be more
hopeful to the restless and hopeless
patient than medicine or friends.
Flowers are always soothing. Strong
odors, such as tuberoses and lilies
breathe forth, may not be agreeable to
all persons, but there are beauty and
rest for the eyes in q pot Of growing
ferns, bunch of rose geranium or q
cluster of white and purple asters. The
prejudice against cut-fowers in sick
room IL unfounded. The poisonous gas
supposed to be given of by bouquet
of flowers in three days, or as long as
the blossoms live, will not equal tho
carbonic acid gas that escapes from .

Of butchers linen. These were
hemmed and an initial worked In one
corner-eight.or ten squares for each
child. These were laid diamondwise
under each plate and renewed as need
ed, the laundress finding these small
pieces much easier to care for than the
large cloths. The same writer offers
the suggestion that If good-sized milky
white glass beads are served on the top
OF the table mats crocheted IN heavy
cotton or made Of corset cord, their eff
Aciency in protecting the table from
hot dishes is absolute.
