How Are You Supplying Your Table With
 Water !?

We assume that you are using something besides the ordinary city or town water supply, as It is now generally recognized that water as it comes direct from the mains is too impure for drinking. Are you using spring water? If so, would you not be glad to reduce your water bill to a small fraction of what it now is, and save the annoyance of handling bottles or carboys, obtaining at the same time equally good (n fact frequently better) water?
 If you are using some system of fitra- tion. are you satisfied with its results?
 Do you get an ample supply of water?
 Is 1t always white and pure, and does your filter work well .4..L THE TIME?
 If not, will you permit us to show you how those results can be reached, by talk ing with you further, or by having our agent call on you?

MT. E. W. Parker, the well-known statistician of the United States geo. logical survey, has recently compiled some interesting figures showing the amount of coal produced in this coun- try during the past year. In round numbers, this amount aggregates 199,- 256,000 tons. Pennsylvania heads the list with 53,S42,O0O tons of bituminous coal and 52, 2,122,OOO tons of anthracite coal. In the various other states bi- luminous coal is the only kind of coal produced to any considerable extent; and Pennsylvania, therefore, is clearly entitled to the distinction of being the banner coal-producing state of the union. Next to Pennsylvania in the total quantity of coal produced last year ranks Illinois with 20,0720O0 tons; next West Virginia, with 13,556OO0 tons and next, Ohio, with 12,219,000 tons

 terday-Bicyclists by the Thousand
 For several hours yesterday after noon steady stream of bicyclists made their way to the grove at Light house Point and at o'clock there were several thousand wheels and wheelmen present. Indeed, the wheels were standing around so thick that it was almost impossible to move around the grounds.
 The street cars also did a big busi- ness and every open car and several of the closed ones were pressed into ser vice in order to accommodate all who desired transportation. It was one of the biggest days ever known in the his- tory of the point and the place seems to be especially attractive to wheelmen.
 There was a big crowd at Savin Rock yesterday.
 At Cosy Beach and Mansfields Grove the crowd was very large, and the day passed off very pleasantly.
