"Omaa's Laugh.

rather than of humor. There can hardly
be question to the sweetest laugh 10

softest warhle of all. If doves We're not so
serious they might remind US of Partisan
women laughing together. The italian
laugh Is happy enough. but 1t is not quite
so Independent of the subject of laughter;
II has jollity all its own. 1t is somewhat
unc1Nlhzed, but needs no civilizing. But It's
principal characteristic Is the contralto
tcne proper to the woman who is to the
last somewhat of a peasant The laughter
OF Engiishwomen is too various for any
Drief description. For Englishwomen laugh,
not according to their caste, as caste has

may BE- said that in caste also the treble

Selhshness.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Probably the most insidious of all the
faults is that upon the absence of which
we most pride ourselves, and that at the
same time We notice most readily in 9TH
gossping. The list is long and we know it
without going into details, but that which
we do not seem to realize is that the very
most common fault of US all as a mass
is selfishness. We do know that nearly
every one We meet is selfish. but We sell
dom discover how selfish We are ourselves
unless shown by sudden touch of deep
regret oSt of US discover, for instance,
that Tr were selfish in reference to some
dear FRI I'd dead, but We stop right there,
and VIII e We regret the past and shed
useless tears over the lost chance, We do
not make any new discoveries. namely,
that are selfish to our living friends,
and while we think that they are being
unfair, unkind, to US, We forget to be gen
erous ourselves, TO look beyond the frown,
the hard word. the selfish act or neglect,
and see what it is that causes all this, TO
see what strain our friend is bearing and
share it in so far as patience, generous
forebearance, Will Tighten it.
Think how selfish most of US have been
in time gone by, how quick words have
gone out to hurt hearts already hurt. when
from Us at least that particular cross friend
had right to hope for better things.
Do make a very close examinatiO of
things in general and see whether you are
not yourself more selfish than are your
friends. and remember that the greatest
generosity in this world is to have patience
with others in their 'selfshness" for in
half the cases at least ii is pain or worry
not real intended unkindness at all.

ed. II few women have established the
precedent of wearing while in the coun-
try short skirts, almost to the exclusion of
others. Riding habits also have their mo-
ments of relaxation For the country lanes
on days when the foxhounds are not in
cry even white plque is not always tapooed.
Hare and Hounds Revived.
The old game of hare and hounds is try
irg to establish itself with some of the
younger set not as rival to other sports.
but as co-axistent. The chances are that it
will meet with little success. Even in these
days of physical culture few women or girls
have wind enough for the paper chase.
The bicycle gymkhana, the sport of the
hour in England, is winning its way more
slowly in this country, partly because it
requires large grounds. specially prepared
but some of the feats of gymk hama riders
are often seen at the big country houses.
The four-in-hand driving competitions are
very pretty. A team is made up, for ex-
ample, of four wheels ridden by girls in
red and white or blue and white the long
ribbon reins being held by a man whose
wheel f1aunts the same colors. A novel ex-
Eibition seen few days ago required the
riders to race for one hundred yards steer
ing the bicycle with one hand and holding
in the other an egg in ladle. The disinci-
nation of the egg to stay put amused every.
body but the competitors.
Another item on the same program re-
quired the cyclists to cover a like distance
trundling a wooden hoop. There was also
bending race of the familiar type in which
1t is required to ride around polo balls
placed four feet apart. The most novel
thing tried was a bun race in which the
women competing mad to spear a hun, PUT
it off the point of the spear into a basket,
then repeat the process, all at full speed.

cUBANs REVERE OUR FLAG.
They Take on Their Hats When
Passing the Emblem of Their
Adopted Country.

The love of their native land and
their hatred for the Spanish are shown
by all classes of the Cubans, both old
and young. This feeling has melted
them to work as nothing else would,
and, as already stated, has overcome
their natural Incidence. But it can be
said to their credit that their fondness
for Americans is almost as strong as
for their countrymcn, They realize
that in the United States they have
found strong champion against their
oppressors. There are many indications
of their affection to be seen through
out Cuban settlements, one of which,
and perhaps the most striking, is their
display of the American flag and thteir
feeling for it. Wherever the stars and
stripes are raised, no matter if it be
over the fort in Key West or over the
store in little Cuban town, there you
will find group of Cubans ready to
cheer it, while it is an actual fact that
not few of them uncover their heads
when passing the emblem of their
adopted country, inangurating, a Gus
tom which might well be followed by
their native American countrymen.-

RICE COAL AND PEA COAL.
In the Dirt Heaps Of the Penn
sylvania Coal Regions.

Quite large quantity of rice coal
is now going to market. 1t costs at
the mines 25 cents ton. 1t is the
cheapest fuel in the world of it's kind,
but the railroad companies charge
$1.35 ton to haul it so or 100 miles.
Rice coal is the product of the dirt
banks. Mountains of coal dirt OBJ
struct the anthracite regions near the
collieries, and men have set up big
washeries where the water supply is
adequate, and wash out and screen out
the fine particles of coal until the
pure fuel, as small as rice, clean and
FURNISHED, comes to the surface on big
platforms, and is dried for the mar
ket. The washers can produce this
rice coal at about Is cents ton, and
their profit is ten cents a ton. The
washers are satisfied with the profit,
but they are hampered with high
freight rates.
Rice coal is modern size entirely.
So is buckwheat, the next size to rice.
These two sizes were not known in
the commercial market until men be-
gan to wash out the mountains of
coal dirt, supposed to be so much dead
waste. Commercial sizes of coal are:
Rice, buckwheat, pea, chestnut, stove,
broken, steamboat and lump. The uses
of lump and steamboat coal, large
sizes for ships, are well understood.
Stove and egg, or broken, are used for
cellar heaters and chestnut for litch-
en- ranges. Many people do not under
stand the uses of pea coal, and at this
time when winter buying is thought
of the study of pea coal is interesting.
A few years ago very little pea was
sold. People said it was dirt. Now
they have small pea and large pea.
Both sizes have sprung into very
large demand and the sales are in
creasing as the subject is understood.
There are hundreds of families in this
section who burn pea coal in their eel
lar heaters. Some who understand
firing heater use pea coal exclusive
ly. Others mix pea and stove
or egg together and use it in
that way. Frequently pea coal
is spread out on top of the large
coal to keep the combustion well con-
fined and to preserve the heat where
it belongs-in the house. Very few
families within radius of IS miles
from the anthracite coal regions burn
the old-time chestnut coal in their
kitchen ranges, They save two dollars
a ton and buy pea coal, which goes
further than chestnut, because pea
packs more compactly and does not
burn away so fast, There are coal
dealers who say this is not so, but sue
cessful and experienced housewives
say it is fact. Pea coal for keeping
fire all night in the kitchen is just
the thing.
Bituminous coal is not used for do
mestic purposes generally, but the
people are turning attention to it,
right in the anthracite coal country
here, because soft coal can be bought
at two dollars ton delivered, and
there is more heat in ton of soft coal
than in two tons of buckwheat, or 11s
tons of good pea, which costs $3.50
ton. We're it not for the smoke nui-
sance housekeepers would surely fol-
low the manufacturers, stop using
hard coal entirely and take up soft
coal for the kitchen range and cellar
heater. Those manufacturers who
are using rice and buckwheat mix it
with bituminous coal,-N. Y. Sun.

Now, farmi CTS friends have been working in cotton for 2 years and will give you few figures which you possibly have not had or taken time to make, which will prove to you beyond doubt that you can not raise cotton at the present prices. First, it takes a good hand to make and gather six bales of cotton.
