Timely Topics.
COST OF COAL MINING,

The Boston Herald says: ''The great
European countries in the production Of
coal occupy a position relative to each
other which does not vary greatly. 1t
costs more to mine coal in France and
Belgium than it does in Germany and the
United Kingdom. but the cost of trans
porration, and, possibly, tariff barriers,
are sufficient to equalize differences of
this kind. But when we turn to the
United States we find matters, both as
to present conditions and future pros
poets. entirely different The quantity of
coal produced in the United States in 1888
was about lob, 600, 600 tons; the quantity
produced in 1898 was 1853 600. 600 tons
that is, almost as much as was mined in the
United Kingdom. But instead of employ
ing $40, 600 persons TO mine this coal, the
mining companies of the United States
had in their employ only 1863, 600 persons.
These did the work. fur the reason that
each of tn. Sc had an average productive
capacity of AS tons, against an average
productive capacity of 256 tons in Eng
land, 254 in Germany. 1917 in France and
1876 in Belgium As the American miner
could produce nearly twice as much coal
as the German or English miner, and
about three times as much coal as the
Belgian miner, it is not strange that he
should be paid much higher price for
his work, nor is it strange either that the
value of coal at the pits mouth should
run down in the United States from SD
in 1888 to 81. % in 1S!,3-tlat is. the cost
Of this fuel at the pits mouth was much
less in the nited States than in any other

Especial Despatch to the Boston Herald. I
WAsHlNGToN, u. c., July 26. 1895.
The seed division of the department of
agriculture will be abolished Oct. list.
Secretary Morton has issued an order
stating that the practice of distributing
seed broadcast at government expense
will be discontinued during the fiscal year
1896. and that the services of the en-
ployes engaged in that work will not be
required after Oct. LIST. Accordingly
Matthias Z. Pagan Of Illinois, chief of the
division, at -, 600 a year. and the entire
force of employees will be dropped from
the rolls.
Secretary Morton's action is based on a
recent decision of Mr.. Olney, the attor-
ney general, regarding the class of seed
purchasable by the department. The lat
ter held in effect that the secretary of ag-
riculture was empowered to purchase only
those seeds described in section II OF the
revised statutes, viz. 'I,are and uncom-
mon to the country or such as can be
made more profitable by frequent changes

HOME FOR |NEBR|ATES,
1t Will Still Be Under the
Control of the Board
of Health.
DIR. ". J. GAvIGAN EXPLAINS.
He Outlines the Law Which Pro-
videS for the establishment
of the Home.

The Board of Health will have supreme
control of the proposed City and County
Hospital and Home for the Care and Treat
ment of Dipsomaniacs and Inebriates.
According TO the act of the Legislature,
providing for the establishment and main
tenance of this institution, and approved
by Governor Budd, the Board of Super
visors must begin work on the building in
July next in order that it may be COM
pleted within the fiscal year. Otherwise
the Supervisors will have no authority in
the government of the hospital.
The law states that the Board of Health
must appoint medical superintendent,
nurses and other attaches. In addition to
being regular qualified physician the
superintendent must have especial qualifi-
cations in the treatment of dipsomonia and
inebrlety. In this particular DR.. w. J.
Gavigan, who drafted the new law, and
whose study, training and special profess
sional attention have been given exclu-
sively to the treatment of dipsomonla and
inebriety, has some pronounced ideas and
convictions.
"The institution is not intended as q
place for merely SOLDERING off drunkards,"
said DR.. Gayigan, "but is intended to put
men who have become subject to the
chronic habit of drinking into such a con-
dition that they can make new start in
life. For this purpose it is necessary to
eliminate from the system the effects of
