FIRST USER OF HARD COAL.
Daniel Fell, Just a Century Ago, Dis
covered It Was Good to Burn.

1t is just a century ago that Daniel
Fell made the first successful test of
hard coal in Luzerne county, Pa, for
heating purposes. 1t is said that the
Indians knew of the black stones and
made pipe bowls of them. Moravian
missionaries early came across the
strange mineral in their long journeys
through the woods. Even after the
coal had begun to be mined It was diff
hcult to sell any. The people did not
understand how to use 1t and asserted
that 1T would not.burn. Signed %certif-
Gates that stone coal will burn" had
to be sold intending purchasers.
Even as late as 1921 the Lehigh and
Navigation company sent but 365 tons
TO Philadelphia. Hard coal was at first
successfully used at the wire mills Of
White & Hazard, Falls of Schuylkill.
through an accident in December, 1914.
The coal cost $2S a ton. But the men
could not ignite it. In exasperation
they pitched a quantity of coal into a
furnace, shut the doors, and went about
some other work. Some hours later
the furnace doors were found to be red
hot n the interior a mass of fire.
William Henry, a manufacturer Of
muskets near Nazareth, had secured
SQme Of the coal in 1898 for his FORCES.
His blacksmith told him the neighbors
called him a fool for trying to burn the
block stones" In 1908, however. he

A WONDERFUL PILL

Freedom. Mo-, Nov. 3rd.-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced in
ms n~eighborhood. 1t is called Dodd's
kidney Pills and it has cured Rheuma-
ism right and left. On every hand may
be heard stories of the remarkable re-
coveries and from what has been stated
already there seems to be no case of
rheumatism that Dodd's Kidney Pills
will not cure.
One of those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd'S Kidney Pills Is
Katie Anderson of this place, who
says:
Il can't say enough for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They have helped me so
much. I suffered very severely with
rheumatism. Five boxes cured me COM
pletely. They are certainly the most
wonderful medicine l have ever used"
Usage County abounds in just such
cases and if the good work keeps on
there will Don be no Rheumatism left
In this part of the state.

Company Meals.

There is no sort of sense in preparing
a meal for even the most distinguished
company for the housewife putting on
the table two kinds of pie, three of cake
and cookies, two or three sorts of
pickles and a lot more of indigestible
stuff. The best rule in getting up what
may be termed a company meal is to
treat your guests just as you would
like to be treated if at their homes.
You see, when you prepare so much
stun your guests have either got to pile
their plates with what they cannot and
Will not eat or by refusing the food
when passed to them incur the sus-
plcion of thinking you are a poor cook.
one kind of meat, preceded by a soup,
seasonable vegetable, a simple dessert,
good coffee, bread and butter, daintily
served, is lots better than a four ring
circus of a meal such as many women
prepare, and then If the old man can't
ask a blessing at Least make him serve
the guests. Siplicity in this eating bus
mess never conflicts with real gen..
tility.

noticed that when the eagle wheeled in
mld-air he suddenly dropped his legs,
but, on recovering himself, drew them
up out of sight.
The eagles were constantly assailed
by a pair of kingbirds, who seemed to
TAX a special delight in tormenting
their big n%eighbors. They would be
quite helpless in returning the king
birds quick assaults, whether perched
or on the wing, and apparently did not
care to waste their energies in fruitless
attempts. They also found trouble in,
another quarter, where some crows
possibly had a nest of their own, for,
whenever an eagle approached a GER
tain cluster of evergreens, it was forced
to beat a speedy retreat, which often
brought it again into the sphere of the
doughty kingbirds.
According to Audubon and other OBJ
servers, the young eagles cling to the
nest until they are finally driven off
by their elders.-St. Nicholas Magazine.

what the Coal Trust Proposes to Make
During the Coming Year.
Philadelphia, Pa, dispatch: That the
retail coal dealers are incensed at the
action of President Baer of the Phila-
delphia & Reading in ordering an in
crease to be made Of so cents in the
price of coal delivered at the mines
and directing the dealers to sell to
consumers at $6.75 a ton is putting it
mildly.
They have been told that if they
do not limit their price to the figures
mentioned, the Reading will establish
its W depots for the retailing of coal
at $6.75. In this way, they say, the
Reading not only bags the profit on
the advanced price Of coal but claims
the credit for establishing a retail
price lower than that which has pre-
vailed since the strike started.
The retail dealers declare the coal
companies are not only anxious to al
lay public opinion, but that they are
planning to do an actual retail bust
ness on their own hook.
. The increase at the mines will net
the companies an increased profit dur
ing the coming year Of $25, 900, 900.

A GLOOMY Spectacle.

The Rev. DR.. Herbert E. Foss of
Philadelphia has been preaching a SER
mon in which he lamented that there
were never so many musicians and low
ers of music as today; never so many
artists and lovers Of art; neve so
much literature and never so many
who feed upon it. So, too, there were
never so many well-dressed, well-born,
well-mannered people who are living at
ease-eating, drinking and making
merry" Brother Foss's pessimism is a
peculiar and hopeless kind. There is
no cure for it in this age, and the only
alienation for 1t would seem to be for
the afflicted to take up his habitation
among the remotest Iecesses of the
cave = jewellers. = Louisville Courier

Boston's Return to Beans,

Now here is a curious and note
worthy outcome of the advance in
prices of meat. 1t is that in at least
n town the general health has i'm
proved. Boston's sanitary officers
and statisticians attribute the general
good health in that city to the decline
of meat as an article of food. The
prices demanded by the trust for what
the laborer and mechanic till recently
regarded as vital to their existence
have induced a much smaller con-
sumption of meat than during the
time preceding the advance and a
compensating increase in the demand
for vegetables. Boston, therefore. has
turned from its beef and gone back to
its beans.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A friend who owns a nice prairie
farm, well improved, persists in try
ing TO cultivate the sides and crown of
quite a bluff that borders a stream
which runs through his farm. We hard
ly see why he tries to raise crops on
this hill, for in dry years they per-
1sh from drought and in wet ones are
washed out by the roots. If we had
that bluff, which is about ten acres
In extent, we would set it out to trees

trees, then evergreens. Planted to trees

soon become a thing of beauty and of

Train the Horse,

NO animal on the farm can be more
easily trained than the horse, and when
we consider how much the horses may
be taught we often wonder why so lit
tie pains are taken to teach them. The
horses used in the city fire departments
are a good illustration of how easily a
horse may be trained, while the marvel
of the trained horses of the circus is
always a wonder. Instinctively the
milkman's horse will go to each pat
irons home with unvarying regularity,
as Will the horse of the rural mail car
rier. The constant use Of raw, I'M
trained horses is needless when they
may be so very easily trained in almost
any line.
