COAL MINING IN FRINGE.
The Government Investigates Ina
properly Worked Concessions,

Harold s Van Buren,. the United States
Consul at Nice. writes TO the State De-
partment that the recent advance in the
price of coal has attracted the attention
Of the French Government to the fact
that concessions granted years ago have
lain dormant.
The Government can aunuI a c5nces-
sion" says the consul. in case It is not
sufficiently utilized and the projects Of
this and neighboring districts have uoti-
fed the owners of certain concessions that
they must proceed within three months
to develop the same. OF have them an
nUIIed.
In 1891. the production Of Iow-cIass coal
in the Department of the Bouches-du-
Rhone amounted to $500 tons. and in
1906 it had fallen to 3C45s5 tons With the
advance in price of foreign coal. the pro
duction in 1899 rose to 1877 21g tons. and in
1890 10 J6f. 600 tons. an augmentation Of 90
per cent over the production of 1895

to develop his own judgment, because
his father is so good and wise that the
boy has no chance to make his own
mistakes. 1t is not best for the hui
man character to have an infaliibIe
guide always at hand, principally for
the reason that what is. or was, valu-
able to one person is often useless to
another: and if, during the formative
period of the life Of a person. there is
somebody always within call. whose
judgment everyone approves, and who
is almost always right, it is extremely
easy TO accept the Judgment Of that
mentor and miss some good which
might come from Independent action
The worst mistake most parents make
IS in giving their chifdTen too much
guidance There is nothing like a course
in making mistakes, all of ones own
accord, to teach the youthful moraIjst
that wisdom comes Of experience. It
is good for a child to burn his fingers
while there is still oil and salve in The
p-s-eUnal dIspensary. It may save him
some fearful burns later in life.
The surrender of General. Cables. if

hostidties in the Philippines and it is to
be hoped that this end viii speedily be
attained From the first the result was
a foresone conclusion, and since the sur
render of Aguinaldo, the insurTecton has
had neither organization nor conference.
At the same time a few IawIcss maraud-
ers skulking in the mountains could make
a great deal of trouble, both for the
peaceabIe inhabitants and for the Amer
lean authorities. We are likely to have
peace in the Philippines long before the
British can secure it in South Africa

Of TAnnersville. Pa. on a recent Sum-

She conducted her entire service for
her husband and her sermon was in

announcement that the minister's wife

The Kate Shelley Bridge, which is
nearing completion in Iowa four miles
west Of Boone, is one Of the largest in
the world, and the origin Of its name
is interesting. Twenty years ago. be-
tween Boone and Moingona. an engine
went through the bridge at the time Of
a raging flood. From her widowed
mothers cottage near by a
maiden of sixteen years saw
the engines headlight disappear
in the raging torrent. Lighting
a lantern she went away through the
storm to Moingona, told Of the disas-
ter, and saved passenger train from
following the ill-fated engine to a
watery grave. The state Of Iowa gave
her medal for her bravery. her name
has been celebrated in poetry and
prose, and now it has beer decided to
name this new viaduct the Kate Shell
ley Bridge.

better than that. Those persons who
might be able to get hold OF calendars

the chance which the British soldiers
had Of being killed in South Africa
amounted to more than 2h times the

BUTCHERS ARE IMMUNE.
Meat Dealers, It Is Said, Never Die
of Consumption.


From the New York Mail and Express.
Butchers never die of consumption"
The big man with his sleeves rolled up,
welding the cleaver at the block. said
this as he threw a beefsteak on the
scale.
1t sounded more like a trade super
stition than fact, but so far as dill
gent inquiry has been able to discover
1t is true, although not generally known
outside of the great chopping craft.
Butchers are no longer lived than
men in other walks Of life. They are
subject to all the other ills that human
flesh is heir to, but consumption they
do not have. So far as a reporter was
able to learn not single case is on
record of q butcher in this city being
afflicted with the incurable wasting of
the lungs which claims its hundreds
of thousands of victims annually.
The fact is we'll known among
butchers and has been often the sub
ject of their comment, although none
of them can give a reason for IL.
NO" said man who has swung
sides and rounds in Washington mar
ket for the last 20 years; II have had
rheumatism and typhoid fever and
lots of other things, but nothing has
ever been out of gear with my lungs,
and the same is true of every other
butcher in this town. / know nearly
all of them. and never heard or one
of them having consumption. They
don't drink blood or take any especially
good care of themselves either. I
don't know why it should be so unless
it's because the continual inhaling of
an atmosphere of fresh meat is
strengthening.
II have often thought when hearing
Of consumptives going to Colorado and
Egypt that 7 know of climate nearer
home that would do the business just
as we'll. If they would stay in this
stall for awhile and swing meat, they
would get we'll quite as quickly as they
would on the top of Pixies peak"
