Inst ON the outskirts of Society" says
the New York Tribune, there live many
highly respectable and worthy folks,
whose greatest ambition Is to enter the
charmed circle from which they have been
more or less debarred by circumstances,
and whose chief pride is that their friends
are in the swim.
To add to their visiting list a new ac-
ouaintance who had any pretenson to be-
ing considered smart" is to them veri-
table triumph, and TO hear this acquaint-
anoe talk of the leaders of Vanity Fair
with the familiarity of association gives
them a feeling of being, as it were. In touch
with society" On this debatable land
lived the Misses Van R, pair of spins
ters of moderate means and long lineage
who. not content with their really excel
lent position, long with the fervor of de-
vctees to ion the ranks of the ultra fash
ionabe They eagerly picked up the
crumbs which fell from the rich mans Ia
Bile, in the shape of the chatter OF their
dearest friend, Mrs. Clymer. They knew
her TO be shallow and frivolous and dis
tinctively their inferior in intellect and
culture. yet they held her In the highest
estimation for the sole reason that she VS.
lied and was visited by certain people.
She. on her part continued the intimacy
because she enjoyed with the Misses Van
R. their homage and difference which
was particularly SOOtnlnS ana Bfdtliytu5
in contrast to the rebuffs and dlsappoint-
ments she often experienced in her social
career Thus The friendship went on.
Besides Mrs. Clymer. however the
Misses Van R. had another social hope,
in the person of their younger brother,
who was. as every one conceded, charm
ingly attractive. Even Mrs. Clymer ad-
mired him. and prophesled that he might
get on, If he only went about 1t in the
right way" and condescendlngly said ne

There IS something quite idyllic about
the fresh air courtships that are going
on during these latter summer days. Tru-
w. one would think that the love fostered
by wind and sunshine might well be purer
and more enduring than q fancy engen-
dered in a ball room and aided by din-
ners. the opera, etc. A three-mile match
over the golf links with a congenial com
panion. or a tramp through bog and
heather on a shooting expedition before
breakfast, are the roads to matrimony
of the summer girl of 1899. One cannot
help fancying that the human race Will
be stronger and better for these methods
of wooing. There is also a good COM
radeship and cougeniality implied by such
companionship which seems particularly
desirable. These latter day courtships
may be matter Of fact but they are GER
tainIy breezy and altogether delightful,
and the moonlight girl and the piazza
girl of yore possess no more romantic
or tender memories of loyemaking of their
youth than our young Amazons of to-day
Will have in the years to come.

ALLOWANCE FOR COLLEGE.
Court Gives Sixteen Year Old
Youth $4,000 Year While
at Harvard.

Considerable information in regard
to the amount Of moneXtO be expended
by youth, 16 years old, who occupies
a good social position. and who is to
be educated at Harvard university. is
found in legal papers filed in the su-
preme court at New York city.
This information is contained in the
report OF Edward +. Johnston, who was
recently appointed referee by Justice
Bookstaver for the purpose of hearing
testimony and advising the supreme
court how much money should be al
lowed to Richard Delafeld Shipman,
16 years old, from his estate of $165, 900

ward and while being educated there
Young Shipman expects TO enter IIar-

GAS WELLS PLAYING OUT.
The Indiana Fields Are Steadily
and Seriously Waning I'm
Pressure.

The recent extreme cold weather of
the past week has suddenly aroused the
people of the gas belt 10 the stern fact
that the gas pressure is steadily wan
ing. The efforts TO make an oil field out
of gas district has had a distressing
effect on the supply, and the extension
of the oil fields is now proving a detri-
ment TO the field. Millions and millions
of cubic feet of gas have been wasted,
first by the flambeaux and since by the
oil operators.
Gas wells in Hartford City Ind,
which a few years ago showed pres
sure of $50 pounds have now dwindled
TO 220 pounds Waste from oil opera
tors alone was enormous, and it is as
tonishing that steps were not taken
long before to stop it. Oil and salt wa
ter are rapidly quenching the flow of
gas. There is no doubt that $40, 100000
worth of natural gas has been wasted
since il was first discovered in the state.
Residents of the gas belt for number
of years refused 10 admit the supply
was failing, but they are now face to
face with the reality.

Regardless Of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more

other organ of the body.
A majority of the ills affecting people
to-day is traceabe to kidney trouble. 1t

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu-

the back, desire to urinate often day or
night, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ filled blood. Some

COAL DUST BRICKS.
Millions of Tons of Grimy Powder
to Be Utilized as Fuel.
Process discovered of saving What
Has Hitherto Been Practically
Thrown Away by Mine-0wners
Factory mt Chicago.

Millions Of tons of coal dust hitherto
deemed little better than waste are TO
be reclaimed as fuel through the me-
dium OF a new compound. which T. soon
TO be manufactured in great quantities
by a concern recently Incorporated as
the Briquette Coal company. The
crumbiing atoms of bitumen and an
thracite are TO be packed together in
miniature bricks and shipped in large
quantities TO all parts OF the country.
a factory plant has already been con-
structed al Morgan and Thirty eighth
streets. Chicago. where the apparatus
will shortly be placed in working order.
Gardner Corning, "a Chicago man. is
the inventor of the formula, which
promises TO dispose of the great.quan-
titles of black crumbs distributed in
the swamps of dozen states by the
mine proprietors. who have feared that
the dust would choke up their shafts
unless more practical me thod of dis
position were evolved. Mr.. Corning
will not divulge the constituent ele-
ments Of the composition, which he
says viii assmilate with the coal dust.
He asserts that the use Of pitch will
make the artificial cakes give out more
heat and be less productive Of smoke
than the most valuable species OF hard
coal.
1t is estimated that 1000 600 tons of
coal dust are distributed about the
country by mine owners The stuff.
which has been regarded as almost
worthless. has been used for the bed
ding of railroads and the reclaiming of
submerged lands. In Duluth last year
10000 tons of coal dust was used i'm the
construction of the new docking sys-
tenn. As soon as the Chicago mauufac-
tory is in working order the concern
Mr.. Corning heads will establish branch
works in different parts of the country
convenient TO the coal centers.
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 a 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 vari-
Gus ingredients which are to make it
practical. Out of this apparatus the
combined materials fall under press.
which turns the stuff into bricks ready
for consumption. The apparatus for
producing the coal brick is entirely au-

FORGOT WHERE HE WAS.
And i'm His Bewilderment the Deacon
Betrayed a Family


Deacon Pufily is pillar of church
and society in one of the townships.
lie has passed the age of his greatest
activity, but his desire TO do good is
as manifest as ever, and any weakness
of the flesh is largely due to the fact
that he carries so much of it, says the
Detroit Free Press.
While the deacon reads of the suffer
ing Cubans and the movement to send
them relief, he at once sent word
around that there would be meeting
at the district schoolhouse to talk over
the situation and raise means for the
good cause. There was goodly gath
ering, and after the deacon had put the
machinery in motion. he settled back in
his seat TO hear from the several others
who left like relieving their minds. The
fire in the big box stove was hot one;
there was lack of proper ventilation
and when the usual bedtime for the
deacon had arrived he dropped gently
asleep.
Shortly after this occurred there was
some important point to be settled, and
the chair expressed a desire TO hear
from Deacon Puffy. His wife quickly
rose to the emergency and gave her
husband pinch that was emphasized
by twist.
"Ouchl" shouted the deacon. Quit
that Betsy. Get up and kndle the
fire yourself; I'm sick this mornin'."
BY the time that order had been re-
stored the deacon was wide awake, and
in his confusion doubled the liberal
subscription he had already made for
the benefit of the sufferers.
