housekeeping in the sixteenth Century.

There was a very clever method Of keeping large
retinue of servants up the mark several hundred
years ago For every offense every neglect of
specified duty, fine of from one to twelvepence
exacted 1t cost a servant penny to swear, or to
leave open door that he found shut, or to appear
on Sunday with soed linen or missing buttons,
while to toy with the maids meant fourpence, and to
reve fellow servant was expensive luxury that
to twelvepence. All such annoyances as un-
made beds, halls left unswept, and candestcks
scraped were provided against in the same way, and
the taken out of the quarterly wages given
to the poor.
If we could carry out the idea in some of our
modern households, the poor who profted by it
would soon be keeping carriages-Puritan.

OUR COAL PRODUCTION.

United States, ut Present Increase,
VIII Soon Be the Largest Producer.
Washington, June 5.-The coal pro-
luction and consumption of the world
during the past Is years are presented
in some tables just prepared by the
treasury bureau of statistics. These
show that while the United Kingdom
is still the largest coal producer of the
world, the United States is a close
second and if the present rate of gain
is continued will soon become the lead
ing coal producing country of the
world. The coal production of the
United Kingdom in 1897 was 202 ,000,-
900 tons; that of the United States,
10000, 900 tons; Germany, 10000 900;
France, 30,000,000; Belgium, 22,000,000;
Austria-Hungary, 12000,O00; Russia,
nearly 10000 900; Australasia, nearly
5000, 900; Japan, over 5,000,000; British
India, 100000; Canada, nearly 4,000,-
900; Spain, 100000 No other coun-
try reached 100000 tons in produc-
tion. The United States has gained
much more rapidly during the Is years
under consideration than has the Uni.
ted Kingdom or any of the important
coal producing countries of the world,
her gain during the Is years being
over 73 per cent and that of the Uni
ted Kingdom less than "a per cent. The
announcement just made by the
geological survey that the coal product
of the United States in 1898 was 219,-
$4,000 short tons, against 226, ,2S7 900
for Great Britain, shows that the Uni
ted States soon will become the lead
ing coal producing nation of the world.
AS an exporter of coal, however the
United States takes low rank in pro-
portion to its production and stands
fourth in the list of coal exporting
countries. In 1897 the expectations OF
coal from the United Kingdom were
$4,000, GOO tons; from Germany, 12,000,-
900; from Belgium, over 5000 900, and
from the United States a little less
than 100000 In 1898 the quantity
exported was slightly above 1000, 900
tons. Australasia comes next to the
United States as a coal exporting
country, her exports amounting to
nearly 5000 900 tons, while France ex-
ported about 100000, Japan 2,O0O,-
600 and Canada about 1850, 900 tons in
1897.
France is the largest coal importing
country, her importations in 1897 be-
ing nearly 100000 tons, while Ger
many imported 100000, Austria-Hun-
gary 5,600000, Italy 4,250 900. Canada
nearly 100000, Belgium nearly 3,OO0,-
900, Russia 100000, Sweden over g.
250,000, the United States nearly 1,500,-
600, and Australasia 100000 tons.
Great Britain is also the largest con-
sumer of coal in proportion to popula-
ton, with Belgium second and the
limited States third

A MIDNIGHT CONFERENCE.

Assistant Secretary M ellxleiohn Says
Not of n Serious Character"
Washington, June 5.-Acting Secre-
tary of War Meikeljohn and Adjutant
General Corbin had a conference with
the president after midnight. They
had been summoned by the president
it was understood. What the nature OF
result of, the conference was can only
be conjectured as yet, as the parties to
it declined to discuss 1t.
Mr.. Meiklejohn and General Cor
bin were with the president about halt
an hour, leaving shortly before l
O'Clock. The lateness of the meeting
attracted more than usual attention,
as there has been no recent occasion
for late conferences. Upon returning
to his hotel Mr.. Meil1lejohn said in
response to all inquiries that there was
nothing to make public, and that the
subject under consideration was not OF
a serious character.

MAKING COAL BRICKS.
Chicago Inventor Has Compound For
Utilizing Waste Dust.

A dispatch from Chicago says that millions
Of tons Of coal dust hitherto deemed little
better than waste are to be reclaimed as a
fuel through the medium Of new COM
pound. which is soon to be manufactured in
great quantities by concern recently in
corporated as the Brquettc Coal Co.
The crumbing atoms of bitumen and an
thacite are to he packed together in nina
ture bricks and shipped in large quantities
TO all parts of the country.
Gardner Corning, Chicago man, is the
inventor of the formula but he will not
diyulge the constituent elements Of the COM
position which he says will assimilate with
the coal dust
He asserts that the use of pitch will make
the artificial cakes give out more heat aud
he less productive Of smoke than the most
valuable species of hard coal
1T is estimated that 1000, 900 tons of coal
dust are distributed about the country by
mine owners. The stuff, which has been re-
garded as almost worthless, has been used for
the bedding Of railroads and the reclaimng
of submerged lands. As soon as the Chicago
mandatory is in working order the concern
Mr.. Corning heads will establish branch
works in different parts of the country con-
venient to the coal centres.
According to the plans prepared by the
inventor, the coal dust will pass through
several processes before it is turned out in
brick form. 1t is first dumped into huge
receptacle, where it is carried to a boiler
heated almost to the ignition temperature of
the dust. Then the stuff is mixed with the
various ingredients which are to make it
practical. Out of this apparatus the com
bined materials fall under a press, which
turns the stuff into bricks ready for con-
sumption. The apparatus for producing the
coal brick is entirely automatic"
