Cler cal Profanity.

Sometimes profanity is prOfane.
and then there are deliverances OF
that sort that do not sound profane.
1t depends a good deal upon the lips
whence the words flow. Not long ago
a bishop of the Episcopal church from
northern state a cleric with a
well-develOped sense of humOr-made
a flying visit to Washington, stopping
at the home here of a gentleman who
used to be one of his parishioners.
This gentleman is addicted to sui

sisted for many years his natural i'm
pulse to wither up the air upon the
slightest occasion, but cuss he viii.
and he can't help it. One day while
the bishop was at his house the host
found that something had gone wrong
in his stable, and he let out on the
coachman in his customary lurid
style. After he had singed the atmos-
phere in the neighborhoOd of the
stable for five minutes he started lack
for the house, and he was somewhat
chagrined to see the bishop standing
in the yard loking at some flower
beds. The gentleman knew that the
bishop had heard him.
Il know it isn't right" he explained
to the bishop. "but you know me,
and YOU know that l call a spade

with a quizzical smile. Now, should

the umbrella might b. his salvation.
He carried the umbrella upstairs. Seating
himself on a chair IN the corner Of the bed

the room to make her adieus she was waylaid
by the chairman of the offending committee,
who accosted her thus: We'll, Mrs; Hazen,
is this the best your husband can do for US
in the way of weather." Mrs. Hazen looked
at him with a sudden flash in her eyes, and
then answered, clearly and sweetly: Yes,
Mr. Blank, the very best-for the appropri
alton" The discounted man fled, in the
midst of the hardly concealed smiles of the
surrounding guests.-ArgOnaut.

wildcat Insurance Companies.

The insurance commissioner has de-
clined to renew the license of several
so-called fraternal orders which are do
ing an industrial insurance business on
the assessment plan. The commits
sioner holds that they are not entitled
to exemption from taxation, as they are
not doing mutual but an assessment
business and are really writing insur-
ance in a small way. There are quite
number of these associations, and
they are doing an enormous business.
They insure against sickness, accident
and death, and some of them furnish
doctor free. They operate among igno-
rant and poor people, collecting from
to 80 cents weekly. The commissioner
holds them liable to supervision and
taxation, which mutual concerns escape.

From fluctuations of the State bureau
it appears that the coal output in Ten
nessee during 1899 was 3,7OO, 900, and
coke output Az, 9O9 tons; the increa Sc
in coal production was 615, 252 tons, and
in coke IS, 324 tons. In 1883 there were
seveEty-six mines in operation, twenty
less than in 1899. There were twenty
fatal accidents in 1899, the same as in
the previous year. The coal output of
the year has increased something over
three million tons in the past twenty
years.
The production of phosphate mines,
iron mines, copper, zinc and manganese
mines will largely exceed that of pre-

Felix S. S. Johnson, United States
commercial agent at Stanbridge, Que
bee, writes that a mineral discovery
which may lead to important results
has been made in the Laurentian
mountains. This is the unearthing OF
a seam of coal on the land of the
Shawinigan Water and Power COM
pany. In appearance the coal has all
the properties of the anthracite, the
difference being that it has more pol
ish and is far more brittle. Experts
who have seen the specimens pro-
nounce it not unlike some of the Nova
Scotia product. The surrounding for
nation is. of course, entirely different
from that in the anthracite regions Of
Pennsylvania. The shale and slate
which surround the coal measures OF
the keystone state are entirely lack
ing. Biologists have always main
tanned that no minerals existed in the
Laurentian mountains, and that those
granite hills contained nothing mora
valuable than the iron like stons Of
which they are formed.
