COAL MINERS WAGE SCALE.
Workers and Operators Still Unable
to Agree.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Feb. 5.-The two op-
posing forces in the scale committee, the
miners and the operators. are as far from
the slightest vestige Of harmony, upon
which even the initial steps to a compro-
mise could be based. as they were en-
Saturday last.
An offset to the increase in the rate for
mining asked BY the miners has been
made by a Pittsburg operator, who say2
one OF his largest customers has demand
ed reduction Of 70 1-2 cents a ton. which
if granted may drive that and other trade
into the West Virginia market. close By.
where the prices paid for mining are so
much lower than in any of the four COM
petitivs States in the Interstate compact.
A stubborn fight was made by the opera
tors representatives yesterday at the
scale committee session against the plac-
ing control of the engineers employed in
the collierieS under the mine workers IN
ion The operators contend that upon this
class OF employees depends the safety of
their property The miners say that they
need the engineers in their organization,
since they would prove q most important
factor in stopping the production of coal
in case Of a strike.
What is accomplished here viii have an
important bearing on the situation in
Eastern Pennsylvania. not only in the
granting Of such demands as may be made
in the convention OF the three anthracite
districts, but on what the leaders OF the
mine workers consider of at least equal
Importance, the bringing Of the anthracite
operators into joint conference.
Should the miners in the Interstate
compact suffer defeat by such compromise
as would practically mean the abrogation OF
all their leading demands or should they
totally disagree it will mean death to
both demands and the joint conference for
the anthracite field Should the inter
State compact be broken il may entail a
general miners strike.
The anthracite men by themselves
would have considerable opposition from
the mine workers organization before a
strike could be legalIzed. With the btu
minous men at war. this permission might
be more easily granted.

Every country boy whose ambition II

self the following points; they are sug-
gested by very level headed man:
BENJAMIN Franklin. one Of the most
sagacious and practical of the world s
great statesmen, had the habit, II Is
said, of reducing every puzzling prob
lem In life to a series Of written Ques-
lions and answers. "When | can see
them before my eyes, can master
them" he used TO say. There are hun
dreds Of boys and girls today ON farms
and in country villages who are eager
10 90 TO the nearest great city to TRY
their luck" We offer few questions
for them to consider before making
their decision.
First.-I am going TO the city In the
hope of making my fortune. Is there
any duty at home on which | shall turn
my back when go-any duty Weight
Ter and more urgent than that of max
ing my fortunef
Second.-For every dollar TO be earn
ed there are at least ten competitors IN
the city for one here in the country
What qualities have that will insure
me success over the other ninef
Third.-The jack Of all trades. or
"handy man who can turn his hand to
anything" is not wanted in the city.
He is speedily trampled out of sight
Success is to be won only by the men
best trained In their own trades or pro
fessions. What trade or profession
have |? What proof have given OF
special ability In any trade | have In

me?
Fourth.-Have | energy, skill, pleas
ing manners. tact. 10 win me place
where the crowd and the competition
are so great? Or Is my only qualitica'
ton for town work discomfort with
home and village life and unfitness for
work I'm the country?
Fifth.-At home | have the good VIII
and friendship given to my family aud
to me by people that have known me
since | was born. This is a valuable
capital, out of which happiness can be
made to come. What is there In the
city TO atone for the lack of 1t To poor
friendless boy? Isn't there some occu-
patton in the village or the country

An English crew has never won In
American waters, while Columbia and
the vespers Of Philadelphia are the
only American crews to be successful
on the other side. Columbia won the
Stewards cup for tours at the Henley

club, the Trinity crew OF Cambridge
and the Trinity college crew Of Dublin
were represented IN the Centennial re-
gatta In 1876 I'm the four Dared race.

the Londoners would make a clean
sweep, but In the final heat the Beaver
wycks OF Albany outrowed them In
sensational finish.

1t Is said that there is a stone In the
northern part Of Finland which Is used
as a barometer by the people Of the vii
lage near which it stands. This strange
and accommodating stone, called III
makiur" in Finnish, turns black or
blackish gray when 1t is about to rain,
but on the approach Of fine weather Is
thickly notified with white spots. 1t
is supposed to be species of fossil,
mixed with clay. and containing rock
salt inter or ammonia. These chem
ical substances have great attraction
for moisture, and the dampness Of at
mOspbere that precedes storm acts
upon them and renders them almost
invisible. But when the air is dry and
sunny weather Is in store for that part
of the world these chemicals become
dry I'm turn and show up plainly in

Rron Your Pork Chops.

The same caprice Of the palate that
insists upon apple sauce with roast
pork rellshes apple croquettes with
pork chops. incidentally 1t may be
mentioned that Miss Towle, "a Boston
cooking expert, says, assuming that
pork chops are eaten at all, that they
should never be fried. The only re-
spectacle way Is to broil them decently
and In order over he'd Of hot Goals.
In that way what little Juice they con-
tain will be retained. But even then
they will be so dry that the apple GRO
quettes will be an appreciated compile
ment. The croquettes are made by
stewlng the apples In little butter
with u tiny bit of sugar. When quite
cold, with the aid Of a few bread
crumbs. shape the apple into croquettes
not more than an inch In diameter, roll
In crumbs and beaten eggs and fry.
