Absent-Minded Business Man Leaves
His wife I'm n Restaurant and
Goes Home, without Her.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Kane of Clyde,
n. V, went to Rochester the other day
to attend the Odd Fellows convention.
In the afternoon they entered res
taurant, and Kane, seeing friend pass
by the door, stepped out to speak to
him. Mrs. Kane waited for an hour
and half and then informed the po-
lice, fearing that harm had come to
her husband.
The police searched for him all
night and then Mrs. Kane went home,
leaving the officers to continue the
hunt. The first person Mrs. Kane saw
when she reached home was her hus-
band. Kane had been absorbed for
half an hour in business matters after
he left the restaurant, and when he
had finished he had remembered that
he would just have time to catch the
evening train home. He hurried to
the depot and took the evening train.
He was surprised to find the house
closed and wondered where his wife
could be. Then ne remem bered for the
first time that he had left her to wait
for him in a Rochester restaurant.

EXPORTS OF AMERICAN COAL.
During 1900 They Are Likely to Reach
the S20.O0O,OOO Mark, Against
$1O,OOO,OOO in 1896

Exports of coal from the United
States during 1900 are likely to reach
$50 ,000,O 900. against $4,000, 900 in 1896
and S6,000,000 in 1890. Figures of the
bureau of statistics show the exports
of coal during the seven months end

in excess of those. of last year and
double those of 1898. In the seven
months ending with July, 1898, the
exports of coal were 2,375,451 tons;
in 1899 they were 3,006,0s2 tons, and
in 1900 4,601,7 ,755. tons.
During the period from 1890 to
1900 the expectation of coal has quad
replied, but the principal growth has
been in the years 1898, 1899 and 1900.
While this growth is perceptible
in the exports to all parts of the
world, it is especially marked" with
reference to the American countries.
To British North America the ex-
ports of 1898 were l,7sS.39s tons and

EMERGENCY RATION.
That Selected by the Army to Be
Put to Further Test.
Volunteers from Cavalry In Okla
homn VIII Try Campaigning on
Concentrated Food Pur-
pose of the Experiment..

Two officers of the United States
army, Capt. Fountain, of the Eighth
,avalry, and Capt. Foster, of the Fifth
cavalry, have gone to New York to
make final arrangements for supply of
emergency rations." About year
ago board of officers, consisting of
Col. Dempsey and Capts. Fountain and
Foster, was convened for the pur
pose of inquiring into and deciding up
on ration for enlisted men which can
be used in an emergency. Manufac-
turers of food products in all parts of
the country were invited to submit
samples of concentrated foods which
could be used for such purposes.
All samples submitted were subject
ed to rigid tests. The desideratum
aimed at was, in brief, minimum of
space combined with maximum of
sustaining qualities. After months of
experiment it was finally decided that
a preparation of parched wheat COM
bined with a certain proportion of
evaporated animal food would sustain
life best with the least possible loss of
weight and energy. To this combina-
ton was added cake of sweetened
chocolate, and the whole ration, suffi-
cient for one day, was inclosed in her
metically sealed receptacle.
The officers of the board tested the
value of the ration by living upon it
themselves for several consecutive
days. Now they have been ordered TO
continue the tests. With this end in
view they proceed at once to Oklahoma,
where there are two troops of cavalry.
1t is the purpose of Capts, Fountain and
Foster--Col. Dempsey has been de-
tached from the board-to invite vol
unteers from these cavalry troops to
accompany them for a week. ten days,
or two weeks. for the purpose of test
ing the value of this new ration.
If it is found that the men can live
upon 1T without great loss of weight or
energy, it will be adopted by the de-
partment 1t is not the purpose. how
ever to substitute this ration for the
regular food supply of the American
soldier. But men in service will be sup
piled with two, three, five. or more of
these rations when on special service.
They will be allowed to use them only
when it is found impossible to secure
other food. In other words, it is an
emergency" ration. and severe punish
ment will he meted out to the soldier
who uses it except in cases of extreme
emergency.

The late c. p. Huntington's art coll

would probably bring $2,0OO,O0O. In
the course of the last six years his
commissioners have spent about $780,
600, it is said in buying the works of
American artists. Within the last six
months he bought an "old master"

paintings by Meissonier, Millet, Troy
on, Rosa Bonheur, Rosseau, Sir Fred
erick Leighton and Landseer
One part of his collection is series
of pictures of Roman Catholic pre-.
lates, from popes to bishops, for which
he paid $4,000 francs. His gallery con.
tains also many of Gustave Dore's
works. Fine tapestries were always
sought by Mr.. Huntington. One piece
now in his home as portiere was de-
signed by Teniers and cost 10000
francs.
The collection incluues also minia-
lures and bric-a-brac.

This wholesale challenge was more
than the other girls of the congrega

them promptly accepted it. There
was nothing Objectionable in the pro.
posed contest in the eyes of the
church authorities. and they agreed
to the holding of the match. The con.
dltions are that each contestant shall
be given three sticks of walnut wood
four feet long. Each maiden is to
