A number of prominent coal men of Pennsylvania have decided to erect a monument of coal to Philip Ginter, the discoverer of that fuel, at Summit Hill near Mauch Chunk One hundred and nine years ago Ginter lived in 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 str2lck 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 it. so that the embers might last longer while he was roasting fowl. He was surprised, after little while, to see the stones glow and re- tain their heat for long time He car- ried a lot of the coal home and burn ed it there. The few 1eighbors soon learned of the discovery, but there was no mining to any extent in Carbon county unti! after the war of 1872 had begun

CoRSETS SHOWN AT THE FAIR.
The Revolution in woman.s Shape Made
 Very Plain.


 Very Plain.
 In all the previous fairs of all coun- tries there never was such a show of corsets as there was at the corset sec ton, placed next to the gowns This Is because there is revolution in cor sets. They are now all made straight up and down in front. sending the curves on the hips and in the back and each exhibitor makes a point of &C., centuatlng that particular cut moro than his neighbor In one showcase there is the picture of one f1eshy wom- an with the old-fashioned corset curved in the front and a portrait of one With the new pattern The last does look better because she looks more at ease. Fleshy women were in tortures when tightly laced in an old corset. Now they can smile even after pig dinner, and as all women ara now straight up and down up to the hips, she does not mind having no shape where there ought to t9 'lape. AS for the corSets of the slender Wonl, en they design straight line on all sides, up and down, down and up, says the Brooklyn Eagle It is tke style to conceal all femininity with eorsets, and, strange to say, when a woman is we'll goWned the style is graceful for it gives serpentine look to the woman. Not long since an American woman said to me at the opera: It is aston lshlng how woman will shape her physique to suit the fashions. When 1 Was in Paris some ten years ago half of the French women were fleshy. Now you can hardly perceive oae in all these boxes. They must have done something to make themselves sen der. l understand that fashions change, but I do not understand that the body changes to suit the fashions" Where there is a will there is way" said 1. Women abstain from drink ing during their meals, and they have themselves massaged every day They consult their doctors as to what they should refrain from eating so as to get or remain thin. do not think any take internal medicines, because the French woman is too fond of her health. and it is not the fashion to look sickly."

close on his heels, and as they looked
up in surprise at the sudden shower
of soup and the unceremonious entry
of Jake, they saw me, and with
smothered sort of yell, they began
tumbling over each other, upset the
table and the tent and for the next
ten minutes there was the blamedest
mix-up you ever saw. l couldn't I'M
derstand what il all meant, but ! had
sense enough to know that somebody
would be hurt in the wreck unless
help came pretty soon, and l took a
hand at getting matters into shape.
BY doing this had chance TO catch
hold of an officer or two who couldn't
get away. and when they found |
wasn't a ghost they grew calmer and
began to explain. That was easy
enough, you know, when things were
quieter and we had pulled Jake out
from the bottom and restored him to
consciousness, for the darky had col
lapsed entirely You know darkies
have no use for ghosts.
"They told me the story of the
man being killed on my horse, and,
thinking it was l, they had buried me
and had a real funeral sermon by a
preacher who lived at Marietta. Next
day they showed me my grave, and it
made me feel a little bit queer to
look at it, but l wasn't sorry | was
able to do so. l wrote to my sisters
explaining that the report of my
death was a mistake, and they wrote
me that they had gone into mourning
for me, but ! needn't worry on that
account. as the black dresses could be
trimmed i'm colors and still be useful.
You see, they were disposed to have
fun with me when they found / was
all right. What newspapers were in
existence had nice notices of me, and
the pleasant things said about me in
letters of coincidence to the family
really made me quite satisfied that
something had happened to call forth
such expressions"

her a few dollars promptly and never
ask any questions. She has a variety
of stories to tell. / think she is the

Crying at win is something l don't

cries galore on the stage, but this
woman's cry is much nearer the real

kerchief to her eyes at all. She just
keeps her face well up, and sobs
freely, her tears rolling down her
cheeks that all may see them. She
can cry anywhere.
"I've seen that woman stop on the
sidewalk near where three men were
standing and sob as if her heart
would break. When one of the men
asked what the matter was, she re-
piled she lived 20 miles away and had
lost her purse. The three men gave
her a dollar and a half in jitfy and
asked no questions. How often in

cried to simply gave~me stony
stare and waved me Oft, as they hand

wouldn't hear my story, and swal-
lowed her tears of woe as a trout

would rather feel they'd helped a
poor woman than believe there was
such fraud. That's why 1 let
her go.
"No, I am sure she uses no onion
or other pungent odors to cause her
tears. Her tear glands are ever ready

the long, lean steers that came UP
from the great ranches of the south

find TO ride. The only reason why they
