1t will be seer from this that Great
Britain, with only 5000 square miles
of coal beds, already lean from long
mining, is drawing more heavily on her
our than Is the United States,
with more than twenty times the de-
posts, and they scarcely sounded in
comparison.
The exports of coal from the United
States within the seven months ending
July 81, aggregated 992, 4S1 tons of an
thracite and 3,6O9,274 tons of bitumin-
increase of 1886, 663 tons over the cor
responding period of 1899. This in
crease was largely in shipments of btu
minous coal. Export shipments Of
American coke during the seven
months ending July 81, amounted to
24O,253 tons, an increase of about 3d.
900 tons over the same period in 1899.

coal has practically no opportunity for
foreign exploitation at the present time
or in the near future. 1t is a fuel so
much different from the coal that for
eign Il have been accustomed
to using that they are not at all in
clined to take 1t up, necessitating, as it
does, the use of new CRATES or new
stoves and entirely different methods
of firing. Only the several varieties of
soft coal nov finding a market abroad
need be considered.
In Pennsylvania there is produced
for the seaboard trade what is known
as Clearfield coal, originating mostly ON
the line of the Pennsylvania railroad,
but also reaching market over the Phil
adelphia and Reading railway. This
general name includes the coal from
several minor regions and is a compre-
hensive trade term.

We were not surprised to find among
these simple pastoral people of the Far
East a beautiful poetic version Of the
story Of the fall Of nan.
In this it was related that when the
Serpent saw Eve with her mouth full
of pins, fitting herself to clothes, his
heart smote him.

she never looks at it. All such letters

THE MAJORS STRATEGY WITH
TRAIN ROBBERS.

| Speaking of train robberies," said a
| veteran railroad man, did any of you
| fellows ever hear that story about Ma
| jor Patterson? The yarn is not new"
| he continued, land | thought some of
| you might have heard it before; but it
| happens to be true, and is worth telling
again.
Years ago the major was travelling
on the railroad through western Kan
sas, when he fell into conversation with
a very agreeable chap from St Louis.
Train robberies We're frequent in those
days, and when the converse tion final
ly turned to that subject the st. Louis
man remarked that he had an excellent
scheme for hiding his money in such an
emergency I simply put it under the
swaziland of my hat he said, and no
robber in the world would ever think of
looking there for cash With that he
pulled off his hat and showed where he
had two hundred and fifty dollars
planted as he described.
about an hour later the train was
suddenly halted while it was turning a
lonely raVine, and in few moments a
masked man entered the car and began
to systematically loot the passengers,
while two other robbers kept them COW
cred with shotguns from the doors
When the fellow reached him the major
looked up coolly and declared he had
less than a dollar in his pocket. Now.
if you'll leave me that and my watch
he said, I'll tell you something worth
knowing: That fellow in the next seat
has two hundred and fifty dollars I'M
der the swaziland of his hat All
right" said the robber, keep your
watch and chicken feed. And he pro-
ceeded to confiscate the other passen-
gers cash.
When the agony was all over and the
marauderS had departed the st. Louis
man turned around, bursting with rage
and Indignation That was dirty,

ROsTAND's GREAT EARNINGS.

The majority of the Partisan theaters
are not reaping the golden harvest on
which they counted during the EXPOSE
ton The disappointment the mama
gers are suffering Is perhaps their own
fault At any rate, the policy they
have adopted has not proved strikingly
successful. With scarcely an excep-
ton they are reserving their novelties
for the winter season, and have been
cintent during the summer to offer the
public revivals Of well known plays.
They supposed that the foreigners and
country folk in Paris for the exposition
would be satisfied with this stale fair,
in their calculations. The visitors are
showing nj violent desire TO renew
Their acquaintance with pieces with
which transations, adaptations and
touring companies have made them IA
miliar. In most cases, too, these "ros-
signols'' are indifferently put on the
stage; indeed, the companies playing at
one or two well-known theaters would
disgrace a second-class seaside casino.
The one dramatist who is doing mar
velously well is Edmond Rostand. He
is filling two theaters nightly-Sarah
Bernhardt's with "L'Aiglon" and the
