COAL SCARCE.
Transportation Companies Unable to
Meet Demands of New England.

Transportation Companies Unable to
Meet Demands of New England.
The small supply of coal in New En-
land and the fact that the demand
greatly exceeds the ability of transpor-
tation companies to meet it, has caused
a big increase in freightage, and not
only Boston, but every other big city
in the country, is embarrassed by the
conditions that prevail.
The cost of freightage has increased
materially. In New York the cost is
$3.50 per ton. in comparison with 50
cents three months ago. In Baltimore
the nominal freight charged is s2.15 to
$3.50 per ton to Boston, and then only
with a guarantee that the vessels shall
be loaded in six days. which means
that there is generally demurrage,
bringing the cost Of transportation up
to about SO per ton. Even then, bot
toms are somewhat difficult to secure,
owing to the great demand for them.
These conditions are aggravated by
the fact that soft coal is practically
out of the market, and that the ma
jority of the big manufacturing COM
panes have had to change from soft
to hard coal, drawing on the surplus
stock of the dealers. This is consid-
cred a most unfortunate condition at
the opening of a winter. Unless things
change in the immediate future, the de-
mand for anthracite coal will be great
er than it has been for years. Never
theless, there is not much danger of
the manufacturing establishments shut
ting down, as all can change from soft
to hard coal.
This constant drag upon the anthra-
cite coal supply is so heavy that the
stock cannot at present be replenished,
despite the fact that the anthracite
mines have been working for months,
and every possible ounce of coal has
been and is being mined.

The Turkiah Emnire.

The Turkish Empire includes the
countries where most of the great civ
ilizations of antiquity once fourished,
and modern research is bringing to
light numerous remains Of their for
mer greatness. In the valley of the
Euphrates and Tigris have been dis
covered relics of the mighty capitals of
Assyria and Babylonia, with the ruins
of lesser cities. Palestine furnishes
the remains of a succession Of ruling
peoples-Canaanitish Jewish, Roman
and contains the monuments of
events associated with the foundation
of the Christian religion. In Syria are
the ruins of the famous commercial
cities of Tyre and Sidon. Asia Minor
Is full of antiquarian interest, the re-
mains of Smyrna and Ephesus being
perhaps, the best known. The site of
Troy Is also in this part Of Turkey
Many monuments of antiquity are
also to be found in the Turkish island
of the Aegean Sea. Last but not
least, may be mentioned the wonder
full antiquities of Egypt, which is NOM
inally subject to Turkey. Among
these are the Pyramids, the Sphynx,
the rock-cut temples Of Ipsambul, the
ruins of Thebes and the temple of
Karnac; while recent research is an

COUGHING PROPERLY.

Is an Art that but Few People
Ever Learn.
Few people know how to cough prop
.rly. In fact. 1t never occurs to the
ordinary individual that there is any
light way and wrong way of doing it.
Yet it is matter of no small i'm
portance. If every sigh means a drop
IF blood out of the heart, as people
say, every cough means some greater
,r less proportion Of time knocked Off
,ne's life.
Most people cough as loudly and
orcibly as they can. Some chronic
.oughers seem a bit proud Of the terri
Die noise they make. But 1t is rather
costly noise, for the simple reason tha'
tears and inhames the lungs.
Thelungs consist of an extraordinarily
delicate sponge-like tissue which some
times gets inflamed and choked with
phlegm. When We try to get rid Of this
substance we cough. But obviously If
we remove 1t violently we must neces-
sarily injure the delicate lung tissue.
Therefore, train yourself to cough as
gently as possible. After little prac-
uce you will find 1t quite easy to do
so. In that way you will do a mini
mum Of mischief to the lungs and add
years to your life.

R,oH MANS SIMPLICITY.

Must Minister TO the Population He
Had Gathered About Him.
In England the people of the north
are much more simple and democratic
In their ways. as a rule, than those of
the south, who are more affected by
London manners. In his book, Ian
cashire Life of Bishop Fraser" Arch.
deacon Diggle gives an interesting pic
ture Of a north-country giver, which
brings to mind some Of our American
men who have grown rich without re-
linquishing their homely ways.
1t chanced that soon after Bishop
Fraser came into his diocese, he had
to consecrate one Of the finest churches
in South Lancashire. 1t had been built
on the benefaction of n manufacturer,
Mt a cost of a hundred thousand dol
lars. When the bishop returned from
the consecration, he was lost in wonder
Mt Lancashire ways; and he thus told
his story to the archdeacon:
got out at B. station. and after a
walk of twenty minutes came in sight
of the church a mile away. 1t i'm
pressed me with its nobility. I wal
on my way to the house of Mr.. W..
who had built the church, and l ex'
pected TO find fine mansion.
"Can you tell me where Mr.. w.
livesY l asked a pedestrian.
"Oh, aye" he answered. "in yon cot
tage against yon bank"
Thinking there was some mistake, J
went on, and presently overlook girl
In her Sunday attire. To make 1t plain
whom l meant, said to her:
"Can you tell me where Mr.. W. lives
the gentleman who built this
church?T
That's his house." she said, pointing
to the same cottage. I'm going to the
consecrat tion."
Still I was sure there must be IN er-
rOr, but made my way to the door Of
the cottage. An old woman, simply
dressed. answered my summons. l
dared not ask II Mr.. W. was In, and
repeated my question:
Can you tell me where Mr.. w. is.
who built this church,"
''Oh. you're the bishop, are your she
said. Hes here-he's been expecting
on you. You'll find him in the kitchen"
Ushered into the kitchen, found an
old and fine-looking man seated by the
fire, smoking long churchwarden
pipe.
$50 you've come, have your he said
to me. "Nowt like bein' in good time.
There'l be snack O. something when

You have done nobly by the district.
Mr.. w." l said, grasping the old man
by the hand. He returned my hearty
squeeze, but seeped surprised.
"Naw, naw." he said. II made the
population here by my mills. so l mum
do my duty by them"
1t was all a very simple matter to
this old manufacturer, who still
smoked his pipe by his kitchen fire, and
SO 1t seemed to his people as well.
