Governor Atkinson of West Virginia So v States In Bis Reply to the Miners

Washington, aug. 5.-Gov. Atkinson, of West Virginia, has replied to Messrs. Gompers, Sovereign and RatchfoId, the labor leaders who conferred with hum re- garding the miners strike. The letter se.s forth at some lergth fhe rights of property and tlhe rights of citizens. It also speaks of the injunction issued against the ladders by the circuit court of Marion county, and states that the governor has required ithe attorney gen. eral to appear in the madser and assist in having an early adjudication. by the su- preme court of the staha of the injunction proeA AeGlngs. This action is taken because the injunction presents somewhat of a noUAl question and because 1t affects the rights of large number of the citizens of West Virginia.

I ran to the house and poured on lot of Railways s Ready Relief and had no more pain. I tied my hand up with a piece of fianel poured on more Railways Ready Relief and in an hour l was ready to take hold of my work again.

The n,o,.keeper,. Bette Noire.

Ask hookkeeper what his "black
peast" is. and be will tell You the
monthly trial balance Some of you
know what that is. Of course, but the
majority of you perhaps do not. Let
us explain briefly. In double entry
bookkeeping, the only kind that de-
serves the name of bookkeeping, every
debit must have its credit-that is to
say, every item that is carried to the
debit of one account must be carried to
the credit of another.
Say. for example, you buy bill OF
goods from merchant. He enters the
amount TO your debit on his books and
at the same time credits an account
called merchandise, this account be-
ing debited with all the goods brought
into the stock aud credited with all the
goods sold from it, When you pay the
bill, you are credited with the amount.
and an account called leash" is debit
ed, because il receives the money.
This will explain TO the uninitiated
the meaning of the term double en-
try, and il will also explain why,
after the entries have all been carried
to the ledger and balances have been
struck thereon. the debts and the cred
its will agree if the books have been
correctly kept To test the correctness
of his work the bookkeeper takes off
every month tria! balance, which
consists simply of the debit balances in
one column and the credit balances in
another If they foot up the same. the
work has been correctly done. If they
vary, he must look for and find the err
ror or errors before the next month 8
business is entered on the ledger
You can readily understand, there
fore, why the trial balance is the book
keepers black beast. " We have known
cases in which trifling errors have elud-
ed the most caresul search for several
days and nights and even for weeks,
torturing the soul of the bookkeeper
almost past endurance. But he has TO
stand it, for the error must be found

Do Metals Become Tired?

Various instances are on record where
metals. while not showing any appre-
ciable wear, have literally fallen to
pieces, and that without any assigned
cause. On one occasion a steel rail,
after 90 years continuous service on
the Great Northern railway, i'll Eng
land, actually disintegrated under the
wheels of a passing train. So complete
was the breaking up that scientists
thought it worthy of investigation, dur
ing which it was determined that the
metal had become exhausted and had
broken down, just as an overstrained
animal might be expected TO do. This
has led to further inquiry, and scien-
fists are satisfied that metals do become
tired out Fine cracks often appear in
steel rails, and it has been supposed that
they are caused by the continuous CON
cussion of railway wheels. This, how
ever seems &c be contradicted by the
examination Of newly made rails, in
which similar fine lines occur. The
idea that metals become weary, " bile
not altogether "A new one, is to an ex.
tent a plausible one and under the care
full scrutiny of scientific societies will
probably be satisfactorily explained and
settled New York Ledger
