Anthracite at the Exposition.

The plans already under discussion
for securing European markets for
American coal, particularly anthracite,
will be aided by the action of Ferdinand
w. Peck, commissioner general of the
United States exhibit at the Paris eX-
position in 1900, who announces that
he desires to make the American coal
exhibit one of the most interesting and
prominent at the exposition.
The coal exhibit will be prominent in
the United States department and will
be arranged in handsome glass cases
seven feet high and four feet in length.
Necessarily no large samples can be
Accommodated and In such an exhibit and
it is preferable that small cubes of
four pounds weight should be sent. The
ness of the seam, the analysis of the
coal, are particularly sought from eX-
hibtors. View of collieries, works,
shipping arrangements, steam colliers,
barges, etc, will also be shown.
The Anthracite Coal Operators Asso-
citation in its letter for August depre-
Gates the fact that the commissioner
has not seen fit to give enough space to
mineral exhibits and suggests that un-
less this can be done the exhibits will
have little or no commercial value.
The association will, therefore, make
no united effort to demonstrate the
value of American coal as it would have
done had sufficient space been given.

Beware of ointments for Catarrh

that contain mercury, as mercury will
surely destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reput-
able physicians, as the damage they will
do is tenfold to the good you can possi-
bly, derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by r. j. Cheney Il
Co., Toledo, o., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
