Nowadays . Colliery Manager Must Have
Smattering Of the Sciences,
The subjects, in addition to the three
RS, which intending colliery manag-
ers should endeavor to get5a thorough
knowledge Of, says Science and Art
in Training, are as follows: l. Geolo-
gy, which gives them a knowledge Of
the rocks forming the earth and the
formations in which coal is found; also
OF the faults, bikes, washouts, ETC.,
which interrupt the continuation Of
coal seams. 2. Boring and sinking, a
knowledge of which is required in open
Ing new royalties and in searching for
coal seams that have been disclosed by
faults, etc. 8. The practical working
of mines, which enables them to lay out
mine on the most advantageous sys-
TENS of working, hauling and drainage:
4. Principles of mechanics, which ena-
bles them to know the strength Of
beams, girders, ropes and chains re-
CURED for different kinds of work; also
the horse power of engines required;
Tor winding, hauling and pumping GER
tain quantities of water. 5. Steam, COM

OF steam and the principles Of the
steam engine enable them to use steam;
economically and to the best advant-
age and to superintend the erection Of
engines and be help to them in pur-
chasing new engines; compressed air,
which enables them to know the ad-
vantage of it over steam for driving,i

electricity, so that they may know
something of the advantages Of electric
signaling and lighting and Of the trans
mission of power for long distances.
6. Mine ventilation, gases, coal dust,

a couNTERFElrER CAUGHT.

The Police OF Syracuse Make m Import.
.g ant Capture.
On Monday the 18th, Harold Maruuisee. OF
Utica, N. r., was arrested in Syracuse, N
X, on q warrant sworn out by the DR.
" 1lllams' Medicine Co., charging him with
forgery. On the 18th OF December Maraui.
see visited a photo-engraver in Syracuse
saying he was the representative Of the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for
me making OF g full set Of plates for the di-
rect1on sheets, tables, ETC., Of the famous
Or. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
News OF this reached the home office, and
no time was lost in arranging for his arrest
when ne should return for the plates. He
returned on the 18th and was ACCORDINGLY
arrested and is now in jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination.
This arrest proves to be on important one.
In addition to various plumber, such as
medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc..
1ouno IN Marqulsee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
IN the trunk and on his person: and in
search OF his apartments at Utica found
complete outfit for counterfeiting con-
sslstlng OF crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
forge, q charcoal furnace, and several
plaster Of paris N Odds. The United States
marshals want him just as soon as the DR..
Wlllans' Medicine Co. are through with
MN, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced
TOT long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
MS communicating operations, he showed
his knowledge of the proprietary medical
business; for these pills are in such great
demand that they are easily sold at any
drug storein the United States. His scheme
Was to work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at discount Of from 3 per
cent to per cent, explaining the reduced
price by the fact that he had picked them
up in small lots and at discount from
dealers who were over-stocked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds Of dollars in
.! short time. The proprietors of Dr. Will
hams Fink Pills are most fortunate to
nave caught the rogue, before he had fair
ly started and to have thus kept these
spurious goods out of the market.

Origin of blankets,

In the reign Of Edward III. there
were at Bristol three brothers who
were eminent clothiers and wooden

Blanket. They were the first persons
who manufactured that comfortable

JAILED by their name and which was
hen used for peasants clothing.

Reforms Need More Than 4 Day
To bring them about. and are always
more complete and lasting when they pro-
coed with steady regularity to a consum-
nation. Few of the observant among us
can have failed to notice that permanent
ly healthful changes in the human system
are not wrought by abrupt and violent
means, and that those are the most salu-

nate character, is obliterated by it.
