The stones Burned.

In 1871 Philip Ginler, the discoverer
of coal at Summit Hill, near Mauch
Chunk, lived In a rough cabin in the
forests on the Mauch Chunk mountain.
While in quest of game for his family,
whom he had left at home without
food of any kind, his foot struck a
black stone. By the roadside not far
from the town of Summit Hill he built
a fire of wood and threw pieces of the
supposed stone about 1t so that the en-
bers might last longer while he was
roasting a fowl He was surprised
after a little while to see the stones
glow and retain their heat for long
time. He carried lot of the coal home
and burned it there. The few neigh
bors soon learned of the discovery, but
there was no mining to any extent In
Carbon county until after the war of
1872 had begun.

To start palm seeds is an easy mat
ter. Place half a dozen seeds In six
inch pot, covering them so they will be
about two inches below the surface.
They should then be well watered, and
che soil should be kept fairly moist con-
tinually until the little seedlings push
their way up. The soil should never be
allowed to dry out nor should 1t be
kept soggy. Another good plan is to
place all the seeds in box Of moist
sand and examine them every. few
days. Those that burst and begin to
sprout may be planted in fiat boxes two
or three inches apart in good, rich,
sandy soil, or they may be potted If
well started in small pots.
1t should be borne in mind that the
embryo, or seed, leaves of palms are
usually entirely different In form from
the true, or character, leaves which
come later. In the embryo leaves the
form is long and narrow, swordlike and
usually with no divlsions.-Robert r..

settles the Counterfeits.


When a person comes into "Old Man"
Smiths cigar store and hands him
money in return for something pur-
chased, the old man can ascertain by a
single glance or touch whether the
money is good or counterfeit. If the
money is bad. he puts it under the to-
bacco cutter. OF his money tester. as he
calls 1t. and sewers it in two.
One day last week a rough looking
young man came into his store and
asked for a piece of chewing tobacco.
At the same time he laid so cent
piece lightly on the counter. The old
man picked up the money and looked
at it. 1t had a dull cole and was not
as heavy as an ordina y half dollar.
The proprietor walked over to where
the tobacco was, and, taking down a
piece of the brand the young man had
called for he pretended to put it under
the tobacco cutter but instead he slip
ped in the counterfeit piece and cut it
into halves. He then handed the two
pieces to the young man and command
ed him to ''get," which he promptly
did.-Chicago Record.

Early rising has been inculcated as a
wholesome practice from time imme-
mortal, and to those who can contrive
to get to bed also in good time is unob-
jectionable In every way; but, on the
other hand, If the employment Is of
such a nature as to prevent the occupa-
ton of the bed at proportionately ear
" hour it is absurd to recommend the
one without the other Some persons
require six or seven, some eight or nine
hours in the "a, but If we all made a
practice of getting up as soon as we
wake we should find that the sleep
would be sounder and more wholesome
and that it would be seldom extended
beyond seven or eight hours.
The plan of rising long time before
breakfast and taking walk on an
empty stomach is undoubtedly a bad
one, and though it may be adopted by
some people without injury, yet if at
tempted by those of delicate constitu-
ton 1t will do a vast deal of harm.
Half an hour or an hour before that
meal may well be passed in a short
walk, but beyond that time the stom-
ach becomes weakened in tone, and
the meal when taken is followed by
dull and heavy sensation of fatigue
and listlessness instead of the sprightly
readiness for the days occupation,
which it ought to be the ambition Of
every one to possess.-H Health.
