Curiousiy, the word coal was in use
long before as well us long after the
commencement of the coal trade, with
meaning quite different from that
which 1t now has. The term originally
belonged to wood fuel and was applied
In particular TO wood which had been
charred, or what is now called char
coal.
When the trade i'm mineral coal be-
gan, this was usually distinguished by
the singular name of sea coal. 1t
would seem that from having been
gathered in early times on the sea-
shore, more especially of Northumber-
land, along with seaweed and other
wreckage cast up by the waves, this
peculiar substance was supposed to be
of marine origin. From this circum-
stance and its resemblance TO wood
coal In color and burning properties 1t
obtained the name OF sea coal, by
which it was so long and so widely
known. Then In the course of time,
as the new fuel gained upon and SUI
perseded the old, the simple name Of
coal became universally transferred
to Ii.

Making IL Plain.

A writer in the Lancet, says the Chi
cago Record Herald, generously sets
himself the task OF giving out valuable
information as to the amount of food
one should eat. He proceeds to make
the matter plain to the masses by say
ing:
IF you desire 10 know how much
you ought to eat per diem, you must
first determine whether you are tenn
peramentally anabolic or katobolic.
Then, taking into account your age,
sex, size, the amount of exercise you
get and the temperature of the atmos-
phere, you should calculate the amount
of food necessary TO maintain the min
imum weight OF the body consistent
with the best health of which you are
capable"
Hereafter there should be no excuse
whatever for overeating or undereat-
ing.

KcndniI,s Wardrobe.

Probably no other actor on the stage
carries as small Il wardrobe as Ezra
Kendall. His change of costume con
sists of an old style frock coat. frayed
ut the edges and a trihe torn, still
older hat, shoes of score of winters
and necktie such as grandfather used
to wear. 70 get into these togs takes
him probably four or five minutes. He
never uses Il bit of makeup. Just be-
fore he goes out on the stage he runs
his hand through his hair two or three
times. and he is ready.
Mr.. Kendall is almost in despair be.
cause his old hat is giving out. He
bought it some five years ago in Balti-
more of an old halter who had re-
ceived ii back from an ancient gentle.
man of the south in exchange for one
little more up to date. Since then he
has worn no other on the stage. But
now the rim is off half the way around,
and he has TO wear ii with the ripped
side behind.

A reader of the Philadelphia Press
In Minnesota who was interested in a
recent story published about Buffalo

letters to children who communicate
with him says that the same trait is
characteristic of Governor van SAINT.
Since the old Mississippi steamboat
captain was elected TO the governor
ship he has received hundreds of child
ish epistles asking for his autograph
and others from lads appl oachIng the
adult age asking for ADVICE on certain
points. Instead of leaving the task Of
answering these letters TO his sccreta-
ry, Governor Van SAINT makes auto
graph replies and keeps UP an inter
change of correspondence with many
of his Juvenile friends.
He usually devotes to this CORE.

Governor Van SAINTS convictions. aside
from strict teetotalism. is that a lunch

luncheon for him. He works hard dur

to be disturbed after that in the quiet

The dealer politely Informed him that
he had exceeded the limit. The at

1t go. 1t won. Refusing to accept
chips. the attache gathered in his win

an hour later he did the same thing
and was again successful. At frequent
intervals he repeated his trips. inyaria-

had won $1,000, when his friends car

vana and the western part of Cuba,
was ratified In 1871 part of Florida
was receded to Spain, and in 1888
Great Britain coded east and west

Women will be glad to hear that an
ingenious inventor has fashioned a
clothesline which works admirably
without the aid of any pins. The new
clothesline is composed of a series Of
connected links, each formed of piece
of wire, which Is bent upon itself so as
to form two flexible shank portions
These shanks are then twisted about
each other and terminate In a loop.
Clothes arranged on line of this K
will remain In position just as well as
though they were held there by pins.
At any rate. so say those who have
tested this novel device.

Eating Mnshronms

In the light of modern inquiry there
seems TO be no reason for believing
that mushrooms possess any greater
food value than other ordinary fresh
vegetable foods, and in many respects
they compare unfarorably with them,
says the London Lancet. Still. the
fresh. tender mushroom is undoubted-
ly easily digcstlblc. MS it contains car
bohydrates, i'm addition to some dietet
ic value. This value is not comparabla
with that possessed by essential foods
such as meat. milk and eggs. The
mushroom. however. contains an I'M
usual proportion Of potassium salts.
Few will deny that the mushroom is
an excellent adjunct to many dishes.
1t has an appetizing flavor, and this
quality alone makes 1t dietetlcally val
liable.
