Coal Advancing at Pittsburg.

BY the end of next week all the coal
n the Monongahela river district will
practically be in the hands of ono firm
and prices will be made by the lucky
possessors of the valuable mineral.
There has been steady increase in
the price of coal all the week and at
present coal brings from 10 to l03c.
When the strike begun the firm of
John n. Jones 4 Go. saw that prices
must advance and they quickly went
to work and bought coal everywhere
they could, at prices which now seem
very cheap. They have been buying
the coal and now practically control
the trade in the vicinity of Pittsburg'
Mr.. Jones Saturday admitted that bis
firm held over 100000 bushels. In
quiries among other coal firms devel-
oped the fact that there is very little
coal outside of that held by Jones +
Co., and that firm would be able to get
their own price. Saturday they were
marking 9}c for 'uu-of-mine, and 1916
for lump coal. This is an advance Of
70 over Friday.

Thief Pays the Penalty in the Alaska
Gold Fields.
An unknown man WIS shot on the
Skaguay trail by committee of vi3i-
lantea, and his body is now rotting be-
meath pile Of rocks within a few rods
of Seattle pass The news was carried
down by the steamer Utopia, which
arrived Monday morning at 4 o'clock
from Skaguay. She left Aug. Gath.
Some time ago sack Of flour was
stolen. Suspicion pointed to man
who was encamped near the summit Of
the pass. A committee of six was
chosen to ferret out and punish the
thief. These men went to the tent OF
the suspected man and found the miss
ing sack. The man begged for mercy,
but the committee, satisfied of his
guilt, decreed that he be killed imme-
diatcly. The man was dragged from
the tent and tied up tightly to pole.
The committeeman stood off short
distance and shot together. The
thief's body was pierced in six places.
Feeling their duty done and sick OF
their task the vigilautes left at once,
not even waiting to put the bleeding
form beneath the ground. For three
days it hung there in full view Of those
passing. The odor cmanating from
tho body became SO offensive that two
men cut it loose and carrying it up

HYGIENE OF THE MoUTH.-Every-
body ought to know that the mouth is
first class breeding place for germs.
The coat on the tongue, the tarter
which accumulates about the teeth,
the yellow coating on the teeth, and
the bad taste in the mouth are all due
to germs. In persons who breathe
through the mouth, the accumulation
of germs upon and about the teeth is
much greater than in those who care
fully avoid mouth-breathing, for the
reason that when the air is drawn in
through the nose, the germ are filtered
out; the outgoing breath being found
to contain no germs.
Particles of food which accumulate
between the teeth afford fertile soil
for the development of germs; hence
the Importance of cleanliness. The
teeth should be thoroughly brushed
and cleansed Immediately on rising in
the morning, just before retiring at
night, and before and after each meal.
Cleansing after the meal is quite as
important as cleansing before the meal.
'Carious teeth should receive immedi.
ate attention, as tuberculosis and other
diseases sometimes find entrance to
the body through the medium of de-
cayed teeth.

EATING LEMoNs.-A good deal has
been said lately, through the papers,
about the healthfulness of lemons.
The latest advice how to use them so
they will do the most good runs as
follows: Most people know the bene-
fit of lemonade before breakfast, but
few know how it is more than doubled
by taking another at night also. The
way to get the better of bilious sys-
tenn without blue pills or quinine is to
take the juice of one, two or three
lemons, as the appetite Graves, in as
much ice water as it is pleasant to
drink, without sugar, before going to
bed. In the morning, on rising, or at
least lalf an hour before breakfast,
take the juice of one lemon in gob-
let of water. That will clear the sys-
TEN of humors or bile, with mild ef-
ficacy, without any of the weakening
effects of caomel or congress water.
People should not irritate the stomach
by eating the lemon clear; the power
full acid juice, which is almost corro-
sive, infallibly produces Inflammation
after awhile; but properly diluted,
so that it does not burn or draw the
throat, it does its full medicinal work
without harm, and when the stomach
is clear of food, has abundant oppor-
tunity to work on the system thor
oughly.

LOGAN CARLIsLE's JoKE.-Logan
Carlisle, chief clerk of the treasury
department, and son of Secretary Car
Isle, is famed among his intimate
friends for his wit.
Early in his administration Secre-
tary Carlisle issued an order that no
two members of a family should be
employed in the treasury department
at the same time. This caused several
dismissals and forced designations, and
one young woman, whose mother had
been forced to leave, entered indignant
protest with Logan.
She pleaded, threatened, and finally
said:
"Well, Mr.. Chief Clerk, It's a poor
rule that won't work both ways.
Both your father and yourself being
here the rule is violated, and 1 think
it shame that such favoritism should
be displayed"
Logan drummed on his desk with
his pencil and wore a far-away look,
Finally he said: -,
"Well, guess the old man will
have to CO."

INTERMINGLING FRUIT TREES.

INTERMINGLING FRUIT TREES. -
Professor Waite of the department OF
agriculture, has recently given much
attention to the subject of intermlng'
ling fruit trees in orchards. He tells
of pear orchard in Virginia of Bart
let's mixed with other sorts which has
become famous for bearing. A stock
company was led by the success OF
this orchard to plant 10000 Bartletts
on similar soil near by. In one corner
of the great orchard stood tree OF
Clapps' Favorite. Around this tree
the Bartletts bore fine crops. Along
one side of the orchard also stood now
and then a tree of another sort. Along
this side the influence of cross fertili-
zation has also been noted. Professor
Waite covered a large number of
blossoms of the Bartlett pear with
mosquito bar and in no case were the
blossoms fertilized; although the sta
mems seemed well loaded with pollen.
His extended observations favor the
belief that not one.third of the varie.
ties of the pear are capable of self.
fertilization. In Iowa there are many
blocks of Jonathan and Willow apple
trees that do not bear, while on the
same soil these varieties mingled with
other sorts are we'll laden with fruit.
The moral from the observations seems
10 be, alternate the rows of all the
orchard fruits and small fruits.-Farm
Review.

REWARD OF VIRTUE. The follow
ing story is related of gentleman
who invited a number of Sunday
school children to a treat in his beau
tiful grounds. Not the least appre-
ciated among the many good things
were the excellent strawberries and
cream, of which there was plentiful
supply.
"Well, boys" he said, II hope you
have thoroughly enjoyed your straw
berries and cream?"
ayes, sir" was the reply, in lusty
chorus.
"But suppose" he continued, "that
instead of having been invited here
you had stolen over my garden wall
and helped yourselves when no one
was looking, you would not have
enjoyed them half as much, would
yon?"
"No, SIR" again replied the chorus.
"And why not ?" queried their ben
efactor.
To this question there was no i'm
mediate response, the boys being ap'
parently shy of giving any reason. AT
length, however, little urchin, rather
bolder than the rest, piped out:
wCause we shouldn't have no cream
with them!"

A Snare
And DeluSiOn.

IF you have taken out q life insurance
i policy in an Old Line high price "level
premium" company with the idea that
while you yet drew the breath of life, re-
ceive substantial cash returns or "big
dividends" we are here to tell you that
you will be disappointed. Your policy
will prove snare and a delusion. 1t is
all right for protection for your wife and
children, as they will receive the face Of
the policy in case of your death, as they
would also in company that charges
you half as much. A life insurance poll
cy is fraud as an investment for living
man, and is the greatest blessing of which
we or anybody else has any knowledge
as a means Of protecting the widow and
orphans, after the breadwinner has been
removed by death.

MORE THAN He EXPECTED.-Ar
old man was breaking stones one day
on a country road in Wales when
a gentleman came riding along.
"Bother these stones! Take them
out of my way" he said.
"Where can l take them to, your

Don't you think, your honor, said

honor's way there"
