The Washington Times recalls a story about the Duke of Wellington that H. illustrates the fantastic idea of honor held by many Spaniards, oontrasted with the practical common sense of Englishmen. When the duke was CO., operating with the Spanish army in the peninsula against Napoleon he was de- sirous on one occasion during a general engagement that the general command ing the Spanish contingent should exe- cute a certain movement on the field. He communicated the wish to the Spaniard personally, and was somewhat taken aback to be told that the honor of the King of Spain and his army would compel him to refuse the request unless Wellington, as a foreign officer graciously permitted to exist and fight on Spanish soil, should present the pe- tition on his knees. The old duke often used to tell the story afterward, and he would say: "Now, was extremely anx- ions to have the movement executed, and I didn't care 'twopenney damn about getting on my knees, so, down pumped"

GOOD WORK.

A novel Commencement" came off at the Riverside penitentiary, near Pittsburgh, the other day, when four teen convict pupils were examined and authorities are concerned, was declared finished. The fourteen were illiterate three months ago, when they entered the schoolroom, but so earnestly did they apply themselves that, on their graduation they were able to read and write and could do simple problems in arithmetic. Their places in the school will be taken by fourteen other convicts, and this school class will com plete the list of illiterates in the peni- tentiary. That list made up about twelve per cent. of the inmates when the school was opened. The school was introduced when it became impossible, under uneconomic legislation, to pro- vide employment for the prisoners. It served that purpose well and also serv- ed better purpose. The illiterate men displayed such eagerness to acquire the rudiments of an education that the prison authorities hope for their refor- nation now that they are better pre- pared to earn an honest living.
 Of course education doesn't always keep man from being a criminal, as the case of the professor who was re- gently found to be a thief and an in cendiary shows, but the Riverside prison school deserves encouragement.

DO IT YOURSELF

You can tell just as well as q physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy.
The way to do is to take bottle or glass tum-
bier, and Gil it with urine. If there is a
sediment-a powder-like substance-at the
bottom after standing day aud night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is a desire to urinate
often, and still another sign is pain in the
back. If urine stains linen, there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and of the urinary passages and con-
stipation of the bowels are cured by DIR.

is no question about its being the best and
surcst medicine in the world for such troubles.

GILBERTON WATER SHAFT


An Exhaustive Article on the subject bS
Civr Engineer.
Yesterday we made brief mention of
article written Tor the current number OF
Mines and Metals, from the pen of George
B. IIadesty, the well.known civil engineer
of Ashland, which was illustrated by ten
outline drawings and two hall-tone cuts, de
scribing the Gilberton water shaft, recently
erected by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
* Iron Co. at considerable expense The in
formation furnished by the writer will prove
Of much interest to those employed about the
mines
The article concludes rs follows: The
maximum drainage capacity Of the shaft aud
machinery is as follows 1t is estimated that,
with the engines running at their normal
speed, two tanks of ., 400 gallons each will he
hoistcd per minute. From this we obtain l2O
tanks an hour, or 1850 tanks in p hours,
giving an output of 1000, 900 gallons, with
out pushing the machinery, leaving a margin
of 10000 gallons over and above the
estimated drainage in wet seasons. BY a
! slight increase in the speed Of the engines,
about 10 per cent. more water can be handled,
| which speed, if continued for "a hours, would
increase the output 700, 900 gallons This.
added to the margin above the estimated
drainage previously obtained, shows surplus
capacity of 10000 gallons, or about 30 per
/ cent
/ The general results to be obtained by this
method of drainage are numerous. First of
| the fixed expenses, is the saving of the sal
aries Of a large number of pumpmen and en-
giueers. Next is the saving of expense in
the almost constant repairs and renewals OF
pumps, steam and column lines, to which
must be added the cost of material and sup.
plies which were necessary at such exten
siye pumping plants as existed at these tive
COlicres.
The shaft also avoids the necessity oI
building or purchasing additional pump,
for the new lifts recently opened at both col.
Iierics, which would have required three
more large pumps.
This method of drainage, compared Will
the old method, will mean a saving of severa
thousand dollars annually to the operators
The estimate to reach the latter conclusion
includes salaries of pumpsmen, labor ON re
pairs, renewals, supplies, aud every necessary
adjunct for the successful running of steau
pumps.
Lastly, it removes from both COllieries al
the steam lines, and relieves the officials from
fear Of fires from that source.
