SHOULD COAL GIVE OUT.
Electrical Energy and Fht"E"s
Forces Would supply Plenty
of Power.

Are we utterly dependent upon coal,
so that the wheels of industry will stop
and the forests be consumed for fuel
when coal gives out? OF course not. 1t
is an idle fear. Already we have the be-
ginnings of a new method of Utilizing
natural energy which will prove enor-
mouslv more effective than coal ever
has been, and will be practically mex
haustible to whatever extent industry
may expand, says Gunton' S Magazine.
Electrical energy, developed by water
power. will run the worlds industries,
furnish its light and heat, and be the
universal substitute for all forms of
combustion methods. Water power is
practically unlimited, and it will be util
lied more and more in proportion as the
need for it arises and as ii becomes, at
different places and at successive peri
DDS, cheaper than coal. The substitu-
tion will proceed gradually, until, when
the coal supply finally is exhausted, no.
body will have anything more than
curious or academic interest in the mat
ter, and probably not a ripple will be
produced in the steady onward flow of
the worlds industry. AS the use of wa
ter power to develop electrical energy
increases to the point of formidable
competition with coal. electrical stu
dents and inventors will doubtless bring
out improvements making ii possible to
store the power or conduct il long dis
tances at small cost, until our factories,
'ailroads and ships can be operated by
IT, our houses lighted and warmed and
food prepared, all al even less expense
han is possible to-day with coal.

SPRUCE TIMBER SCARCE.
faper-hakers May be Driven to the
Use of Some other Wood or
Material.

The Forthcoming report of s. w.
Matthews, commissioner of labor for
the state of Maine, will contain a chan
ter devoted to the pulp and paper man
ufaeturing of the state. \ table will
be published showing the acreage of
spruce timber lands in Maine. the
amount of that wood used each year for
manufacturing paper and give other
data concerning the industry. The
commissioner will also urge the adop-
ton of some other material, if possible
from which news paper can be made
says the New York Times.
Maine people are much agitated over
the fast depletion of the state forests
by paper makers, and it is possible that
bill will be introduced in the next
legislature prohibiting the cutting of
spruce Tor term et years. 1t is hoped
that by this method the forests will
have chance to gain lost ground in
season TO prevent the complete ex-
termination of that valuable tree. The
are, therefore, doing
much thinking as to what course to
pursue, and it is likely that before long
they will substitute poplar or birch for
spruce timber.
An experiment now being made in
Missouri with cornstalks for making
paper is being watched with interest
here 1t is said that thus far fair sue
cess has been made with that material
and good quality of paper has been
made. Much of the timber cut in Maine
goes to New Hampshire, where one mill
alone turns out 240 tons of paper each
day from spruce timber.

LAZINESS OF KAFFIRS.
Natives Employed In Mines VIII
Not Work Unless Closely
watched.

r. Ruoff, who left the Transvaal
last MAY for tour of Europe and
America. III regard to labor conditions
in the Boer country, lately said to a
reporter for the Detroit Tribune:
Zone of the miners in the copper
country will turn out as much work
as five of our men. We have to en-
ploy Kaffir labor. Kaflrs are notori-
ously lazy, and they require constant
supervision or they will quit work a.
together. With every five Kafirs one
white man is employed. One hole
drilled with a hand drill is considered
n days stint for Kaiilr. Although
our employees do not get as much pay
individually as the miners hereabouts,
yet labor costs us much more, because
one of the copper country miners will
do as much work as FIVE Eaftirs.
I'm Dom Pauls domain the natives
are restricted by stringent laws.
When a native is employed in the
Transvaal he is given a pass upon his
arrival, and he Is legally compelled to
work for a specified length of time.
If he deserts his employer he is ar
rested. When y native is seen on the
streets or highways any white man
has u right 70 demand an inspection
of his pass. II he does not produce
it, or there is ground for believing
that he has not obtained permission
from the employer to leave his work,
he is taken into custody"

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
bottle open all the time and when

to catch cold we begin to use the Cough

to send away for doctor and incur a

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. " dairyman called at "a drug
store there for doctor to come and
see his child, then very sick with Group.
Not finding the doctor in, he left word
for him to come at once on his return.
He also bought a. bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. which he hoped
would give relief until the doctor
should arrive. In a few hours he re-
turned, saying the doctor need not
come, as the child was much better.
The druggist, Mr.. Otto Seholz, says
the family has since recommended
Chamberlain Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends until he has
constant demand for it from that part
of the country. For sale by P. G.

The superior flavor of Smyrna figs is
aseribed to certain Asatie insects.
which produce more perfect fertiliza-
ton Of the fayors Of the fg-trees in
Asia Minor than is commonly effected
in other countries. The flavor appears
to depend upon the number Of fipened
seeds IN the fruit. During the past year
the department Of agriculture has i'm
ported some of these insects from Asia
into California, and it's hoped that they
will multiply there and improve the
flavor of American figs.

ENTERTAINED BY A HEN.
The Fowl Lays an Egg in Public and
Her Owner Promptly swai-
lows II.

The ways of hen are often original
and sometimes mirth-proyoking. and
Plymouth Rock did novel and anus
ing things, to the joy of a carload Of
passengers, on a recent trip from Brad
dock 10 Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette tells the story.
Carrying a hen proudly, a man who
was evidently foreigner got on troll
ley car at Braddock. He was drowsy
and not quite sober, and he crossed his
legs, set the hen on his lap and went to
sleep.
Four miles out of Braddock the hen
suddenly woke from its own reverie
and cackled. Its owner opened his eyes
and found himself and his hen objects
of interest. He was annoyed. But the
passengers had more or less excuse for
staring; they had discovered a fresh
egg resting snugly on the mans lap.
No one could speak the mans Ian
guage, but every one was bound that
he should know what had happened.
Twenty index fingers pointed TO the
hen and 40 eyes were turned in the
same direction. Finally the stranger
lifted the hen tenderly and the secret
was revealed.
Then he was wide awake. With his
left hand he held the egg aloft, that all
might see; with his right hand he
affectionateiy stroked the hen. Every
body smiled. All at once ii seemed to
occur TO him that refreshments were in
order. He grinned AZ his fellow passen-
gers, tapped the shell on the edge Of the
seat 10 open a way to the interior and
swallowed the egg.
