| Like many official papers of Euro
pean courts, the Pekin Gazette an
nounces all acts of State and ceremo-
eminent; but in one particular it Is
unique among court circulars, for its
habit is publicly to commend and COM
pliment the State gods when the en-
peror is satisfied that they have done
they full duty toward Cinnamon. When

rank among the gods Is raised by I'm

Not long ago the department of the
God of War was increased in import
ance by reason of the great ornaments
which the government undertook TO
support, so after he had shown his
beneyolenee by allowing the Imperial
troops to defeat a body Of rebels, he
was metaphorically pattod on the back
and raised to the same rank as Con
fucius, who had hitherto held the first
place in the State Pantheon.
a few years ago the following an
nouncement appeared IN the Gazette:

by force the work of translation.
These riotous protests against the APP
parently beneficent purpose of the
Queen appear all the more remarkable
when one remembers how Olga has
heretofore been adored by her hus-
bands subjects. She Is woman of ex-
traordlnary intelligence and high-mind-
ed principles. She is tall and of COM
handing presence, with splendid hair
and a most winning smile. Throughout
the kingdom she is renowned for her
unceasing and wide-reaching charity.
She founded model hospital and goes
personally twice a month to inspect the
infrmaries so as to be certain that the
sick are provided with every comfort.
During the Russo-Turkish war, and
again when Greeks and Turks clashed,
she attended the wounded with her
own hands. Besides, she is a good
mother and devoted wife; and she
superintends the education of her chill
dren. BY birth she is n Russian grand
duchess.

.calorado is now unqnestionably at
the head Of the coal-producing States
west of the Mississippi River, the posi-
ton heretofore held by Iowa.
Tie total product of the State Tor

the geological survey, was o'Z4l,ooi

an increased production Of Hos, l40 snort
tons in 1900 over 1899 the State atta!ns
a production exceeding 5.GO0,O0O tons
for the first time in its history. Colo
RADIO also advances from ninth to sew
enth in the rank Of all the coal-produc-
ing States. II is closely followed by
Iowa with 5,237 642 short tons and Ken
lucky with 5,190,173 tons In 1900. The
increase in value Of the product IN 1850
over that of 1899 was In exact proper
ton to that of the product, there being
no change In the average price per ton
SLIP. There was, however, an in
crease of nearly 80 per cent in the
amount of coal mined by machines, OF
which the operators received the bene-
fit in lieu of an advance in the selling
price Of the coal.
The number of machines In use in
creased from siXty-three in 1899 to nine

mage increased from 527, 10 short tons
to T36.025 short tons. In 1893 the num-
Der of tots mined by machines in Colo
RADIO was only 225, 646 short tons. The
machines in use in 1900 consisted of
forty-seven air-driven pick OF punching
machines and of thirty-seven electric
ally driven chain and six air-driyen
chain machines. No strikes of any i'm
portance were reported during the year,
so the industry may be said to have
been in an entirely satisfactory condi-
ton. The total number of men employ

of working days from 246 to 264.

scaring the Shepherds.

There is an irrepressible satisfaction
in finding that great philosopher Is.
in the innocent ways of life, very much
like other men. Marcus Aurelius An
tonius, whose "Meditations" have been
the guide of thinkers for centuries,
wrote some exceedingly human letters
to his teacher and friend, Marcus Cor
nelius Fronto. One of them contains
the following spice of boyish fun:
When my father returned home from
the vineyards, mounted my horse, as
usual, and rode on ahead some little
way. Well, there on the road was a
herd of sheep, standing all crowded
together, as if the place was desert,
with four dogs and two shepherds, but
nothing else. Then one shepherd said
to another shepherd, on seeing a num-
Der of horsemen:
Il say, look you at those horsemen!
They do deal of robbery"
When heard this, clap spurs to my
horse and ride straight for the sheep.
In CONSERVATION the sheep scatter.
Hitler and thither they are fleeting and
bleating. A shepherd throws his fork,
and the fork falls ON the horseman who
comes next to me. We make our es-

Ice for Nausea.

A physician advances the theory that
the distressing sensation of nausea has
its seat in the brain and not in the
stomach, and that relief may be OBJ
tanned by cooling the base of the brain.
He claims to have tested this often and
thoroughly in the case of sick headache,
bilious collie, cholera morbus, and other
ills in which the nausea Is distressing
symptom without a single failure! Also,
that he once relieved the nausea result
ing from cancer of the stomach by the
application of ice to the back Of the
neck and occipltal bone. The ice Is to
be broken and the bits placed between
the folds of towel. Relief may be OBJ
tanned by holding the head over sink,
or tub, and pouring a small stream OF
water on the neck.
