No Tariff on Coal.

AS some democrats will not believe
what a republican editor says, we pub
lish the following from the South
Bend Times, the leading democratic
paper of northern Indiana.
I'm answer to numerous inquiries it
may be stated that there is no tariff
dirty on hard coal, commonly called
anthracite. Many years ago there
was duty on such coal, but it was
taken off by reason of the fact that
the supply in the world at large is
limited and competition, therefore,
unimp0rtant. On bituminonS (Soft)
coal there is duty of 81 cents per
ton. Some years ago there was a
movement in favor of also abolishing
this duty, but inasmuch as only the
cities along the Atlantic coast would
be benefited thereby, that proposition
did not meet with general favor.
Transportation is the main factor in
determining the price OF soft COAL"

A recent reunion of the Mexican

the fact that regiment of Missouri

No Pensions for Teachers.

The South Bend Times takes this
sensible position on movement to
secure the passage of law by the
next legislature to pension school
teachers. Before any considerable
number of people commit themselves
in favor of the proposition it would be
we'll to take several impOrtants points
into consideration. In the first
place, teachers are paid about what
their services are considered worth
Ii not, their salaries ought TO be
raised. Certain it is that when per-
son accepts contract price, that should
flash the deal. There should be no
after-deals or after demands. The
pension idea can be carried too far.
If a teacher can't earn enough to get
along in the world, he or she ought to
choose some other vocation. The
Anderson scheme ought to be Squelch-

apt to have cramps, for then the blood is
not flowing steadily. Another thing TO be
observed when In the water Is that one

Philadelphia Record


A man of good appearance sat at dinner
in a cafe the other evening and at the end
of the meal the waiter brought him a cup
of black coffee. This he drank in a peculiar
way. First he took it quite black and plain.
Then, when half of 1t was gone, he poured
in a little cream, and at the end he sweet
ened the last few mouthfus with a lump
of sugar. A number of persons watched
with some amusement the strange per-
formance. To enlighten them the cafe
proprietor remarked TO one of them: THAT
gentleman is coffee expert. He drinks
this coffee in that queer way so as to test
Ii. Taking ii plain, he tells whether ii is
made just right-whether Ii has boiled too
much, or whether IL is too weak When
he adds the cream he watches the color
closely, and If the coffee turns gray in
stead of a fine golden brown, he knows
there must be something wrong. Those
two tests are for his own benefit. Finally,
adding the sugar, he meets the coffee
drinker on his own grounds-his own cof-
fee grounds-and tests the quality of the cof-
fee from the last and. after all, the most
important point of view-that of the taste
OF the sweetened cafe-au lait."

HOW TO SAVE PEOPLE.

do you know that lots of people drown
that could be resuscitated after their
bodies are landed, provided they have not
been in the water more than ten minutes,
if they were properly handled. but this few
people understand. The methods for restor-

but In such cases people become so excited
they forget what TO do The best rules to
follow in restoring people are these: I'm
less in danger of freezing never move them
from the spot where they are nrst taken
from the water, nor allow bystanders to
get close. Instantly wipe clean the mouth
and nostrils, rip and remove all clothing to
