Christmas trees are brought by the
tens of thousands from Maine: poul-

farmers who raise it profit.
A curious freak of the moment in
present giving is the revival of the
old-fashioned liking for red coral
the simple red trinkets of ones
childhood. Huge beads are worn for
personal adornment. Books are
bought twice as lavishly as two years
ago. Furs are almost unpurchas-
able; the poor gray squirrel has to
suffer for lack of seal and sable.
AS for observance, there is again
nothing new. The fashionable OBJ.

A GREAT OIL TRUST.
Rockefeller. ROthsch'lds and Nobel Have Com.
blnsd and VIII Control Worlds Output

binsd and VIII Control Worlds Output
London, July 31.-In its issue this
morning the Daily Mail asserts that
there is no longer any doubt that the
three monster oil interests of Rockefel-
Ter, Rothschild and Nobel have entered
into a working agreement.
Thus" says the paper, "without
any publicity the greatest trust the
world has ever seen has been sprung
into being"
This combination, the paper says,
has been limited at in messages from
Batoum and Moscow and it has been
more clearly shown ia the offers made
to Russian oil exporters by representa-
tives of the Nobel and Rothschild in
terests for the absorption of the whole
Of their output. The exporters have
been forbidden to sell through the in
terests of their agency except at price
arranged by them or to fight the COM
bined forces of the three oil giants.
This offer was made openly and with
the idea of maintaining prices, and it
has been refused, Russian exporters
preferring to fight. 1t was doubtless
this combine, continues the Daily Mail,
which induced the Russian government
to issue invitations to an antitrust con-
ference. The spokesman of the great
combine declares it means a fight to
the death and that the independent ex-
porters cannot hope to win.

The Marrying Ass.

The marrying age, according to sta
tistics, is steadily advancing. This
accounts, perhaps, for another fact,
that women are beginning to look
younger and more girlish in the shady
twenties and the early thirties than
they used to do. Twenty-Five years
ago a woman of SO who was unmarried
would have been regarded as hopeless
tld maid. Now she is quite a girl at
that age and her marriage is still
thought Of. II we continue to grow
old in this leisurely fashion the very
name "old maid" will disappear from
our vocabulary, if indeed it has not
done SO already.

MINING AND STORING COAL
Secret Work tlss Been Done in Several Of the
Scranton COIIIsries.

Scranton, Pa; July S0.-Superin-
tendent Ross, Of the Delaware & Hud-
son, admitted today that his and other
companies of this region have been
engaged in cutting and loading coal and
storing it at the foot of the shaft in
cars ready to be hoisted when the COM
panies see fit to do so. The work is
being done by under bosses, company
hands and returned strikers, of whom
the mine has a small quota. The COM
panies have been doing this work Sc
cretly so as to avoid drawing the fire of
/ the strikers.
The strikers turned back the men
at the Rocket Brook colliery, in Car
bondale, this morning, but they came
around at noon when the pickets had
dispersed and started the washery
going. Carpenters at Coal Brook and
Northwestern collieries, in Carbondale,
were also turned back this morning.
This activity on the part Of the strikers
is the result of a meeting OF the strik-
ers when it was determined to make
an effort to stop all work at mines and
washeries in the Carbondale region.

CHAPTER II.

We met next day, as he had arrang-
ed, and inspected his rooms at No
221B Baker street, of which he had
spoken at our meeting.
They consisted of a couple of com.
Portable bedrooms and a single, large
airy sitting room, cheerfully furnished
and Illuminated by two broad win
dows.
So desirable in every way were the
apartments, and so moderate did the
terms seem when divided between us
that the bargain was concluded upon
the spot, and we at once entered into
possession.
That very evening moved my
things round from the hotel, and on
the following morning Sherlock Holm
es followed me with several boxes and
portmanteaus.
For day or two we were busily
employed in unpacking and laying out
our property to the best advantage
That done, we gradually began to set.
tie down and to accommodate our.
selves to our new surroundings.
Holmes was certainly not difficult
man to live with. He was quiet in his
ways, and his habits were regular.
It was rare for him to be up after
ten at night, and he had invariably
breakfasted and gone out before 1 rose
in the morning.
Sometimes he spent his day at the
chemical laboratory, sometimes in the
dissecting rooms, and occasionally
in long walks, which appeared to take
him into the lowest portions of the
city. Nothing could exceed his energy
when the working fit was upon him;
but now and again a reaction would
seize him, and for days on end ne
would lie upon the sofa in the sitting
room, hardly uttering a word or NOV.

On these occasions have noticed
such dreamy, vacant expression in
his eyes, that might have suspected
him OF being addicted to the use oi
some narcotic, had not the temperance
and cleanliness of his whole life for
bidden such a notion.
As the weeks went by. my interest
IN him and my curiosity as to his aims

His very person and ndappearancew were
