MARKET FOR OUR COAL,
A Great Opening for the American
Product in Hungary.

1.-THE United States has only to step in
and win the market" says Consul F. D.
Chester at Budapest in communication
to the State Department in reference to the
coal situation in Hungary. He says the
coal question has become more important
for Hungary than the problem Of her in
dustrial development. While England and
Germany produce good coal and the latter
consumes almost all it produces, Austria
produced in 1898 about 81, zoo, 900 tons and
exported l 1888 900 tons to Hungary. Hun
gary produced in 1890 only 100000 TONS
and was compelled to import from Austria
the above stated amount. AS this import
just covers the decrease in production from
that American exporters should not be de-
tered from their efforts by reports of the
decrease Of Hungary's import. The de-
crease for last year was In stone coal only
The import since January Of this year from
Austria and Germany has increased, and
from Great Britain 1t Is five times as great
Asiatic Turkey exported to Austria, in De-
ceber, 1900, a consignment of 9S6 tons Of
stone coal, while only two and one-seventh
tons were sent to Hungary from the
United States. 1t Is obvious from these
figures that American exporters need to
get into more direct connection with the
importers of Hungary.
The consul notes that there Is at present
no duty on coal in Austria-Hpngary and
says the principal consumption is by the
state railroad and numerous distuleries.

The production Of stone coal In Hungary
is entirely in private hands Consul Ches-
ter saws a feeble attempt is now being
made to float new shares of the largest
coal concern of Hungary on the market OF
Budapest, but only some % per cent of the
whole coal production in Hungary is stone
coal. and the approaching changes in in
ternational commerce are not favorable to
the rapid success of new mining schemes
In that country. More than half the stone
coal imported by Hungary has hitherto
come from Austria. and the trade of both
countries from the beginning in this article

FlRESIDE FANClES

Here, hand in hand, we sit tonight,
Flushed in the logwood's rudy light,
While red Goals glow and blue flames leap
And hot sap sings and crckets cheep.
Outside we hear the wild winds call
And down the pane we see snowtlakes fall
While winter, like hungry hound,
Hunts over hills with bay and bound.
A palace In the brilliant fires
Rears garnet walls and golden spires,
And many a labyrinthine maze
Bedecked with opal hearts ablaze.
The smoke, an azure banner, curls
Ger halls of rubes and of pearls;
Blue sapphire turrets flame and flare,
And jasper columns glow and glare.
Here, hand in hand, my love and I
List to the. wild winds whistling by;
We hear the sap sing, crickets cheep,
And see the 1.-THE blue blazes leap
And then, rs chill winds whistle on,
OF love that laughed through summer days,
Then left us treadng thorny ways.
Tonight our hearts, like brands aglow,
Are burning in world of snow;
For in your love is summer peace
And summer joys that never cease
! kiss you, take your hand in mine,
And feel my sordid soul divine,
Let earthly wealth and glory be,
But leave you, precious, still with me.
So here we sit, still hand in hand,
And tread a wondrous fairy.land-
The kingdom of lovers dreams,
With bloomy woods and murmuring
streams,
Still let the wild winds shrek and shout,
Still set the flying SHOWS to rout;
! care not where my feet may be
When God has put you, love, with me.

WISE WORDS.

Candor is not always truth.
Stolidity is not always solidity.
Happiness is ever a by-product.
The best fruits must be touched by
frost.
Our interests determine our inhu-
ence.
Righteousness is the richest reward
of the right.
High tides of grief carry US over
the hidden bar.
1t is always easier to ridicule truth
than to realize it.
The force of gravity is surpassed
only by that of happiness.
1t is folly to cut down the green
blade because it bears no grain.
1t is not necessary to act the fool in
order to demonstrate that you are one.
Your success in life may depend as
much on your giving as on your gifts.
The army of success is often but a
mobilization Of shattered mistakes.
Truth will give up her treasures to
you when you give up your prejudices
to her.
1t is good deal easier to forget
what we ought to know than it is to
know what we ought to forget.
The man who covets his neighbours
house would change his mind if he
knew what was in the closets.
The trouble with the people who look
on honesty as good policy is that
they are not willing to pay premiums.
