Coal Prices to Be Lowered.

From the Phila North American.
The price of anthracite coal will soon
be lowered by the large railway com.
panies. Warm weather and an eIpec-
tation on the part of the public of cut
in the rate on April /, have checked
buying to such an extent as to make
the market for coal heavy.
The stock held by the companies is
accumulating, and the only way to re-
duce it and help business activity is to
lower the price,.
The date of the reduction has not
been announced, although it will not be
later than April 1. 1t has been custom
ary for the coal companies to reduce
coal 80 cents ton at that time in order
to give the public an inducement to
purchase q winter stock. After that
time monthly advance of 10 cents is
made until the full price is restored In
September.
1t has been asserted by some coal op-
orators that the present price would be
retained II the miners were awarded a
substantial advance in wages, but it is
now said to be realized that there would
be no market for coal without . reduc-
tion.
In November last so cents a ton was
added to the usual winter circular price
OF coal 10 order to recover strike losses
to some extent. A reduction to this e1-
tent will therefore leave the norma
winter rate as the early price for coal,
with a rising scale to the same rate as
now prevails.

Sheriff Seeks the M0serS.

The Burkhard Moser heirs, in Berks
county, in addition to losing the fortune
for which they have been fighting, will
now be called upon to pay the costs,
amounting to S42194, in their suit
against the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company. The claim against the COM
pany to recover valuable coal lands in
and about Tamaqua has been in litiga-
tion for many years, and finally came to
trial in Pottsville last year and was won
by the company.
There are 326 heirs, scattered in all
parts OF the county. Half OF them are
women. The addresses of none of them
are given, requiring the sheriff to search
the whole county. By the time they
are all found the costs will amount to as
much as the execution.

Chicken Sense.

One should try to give the hens the
kind of food or its equivalent which
they naturally seek when on a large
range In summer. Then give them a
warm house and plenty of sunlight and
make them work for part of their
living. Another point is there should
be no cockerel among the laying hens
only when eggs are wanted for hatch
ing. / have kept several hundred hens
and kept only one cockerel in a room
of thoroughbreds, where the eggs were
used for Matching. Experiments have
proved that hens lay better when no
cockerels are kept, and the expense of
feeding them is saved. Again, success
will depend on having good laying
stock. 1t pays to keep pure breeds
and to renew your stock every year by
getting cockerels from flock that are
known to produce good layers. There
are many things that may reduce the
profits which are not always taken into
consdera ton. Disease, egg eating,
feather eating and lice are to be pre-
vented.-W. Ii. jenkins in Agricultural
Epitomist.

Shoes md Sinners.

The suggestion of French modes
brings to mind the fact that in the his
tory of footgear in America 1t has
never been SO elaborate nor so dis
tinctly French as at present. Evening
slippers and low cut shoes are made of
lace, watered silk and velvet, finished
with jeweled ornaments or large
rosettes. Black satin ties and slippers
are embroidered with steel beads
These come In the colonial style, with
the wide tongue also decorated with
steel. The lace covered slippers and
the silk underneath the lace should
match the gowns. The high, yes, ex-
tremely high, Louis Quinze heels are
also covered with satin and lace, and
the stockings matching the shoes are
either elaborately embroidered or in
set with lace motives. High heels in
all shoes are the order of the day, but
sensible women do not adapt them for
walking purposes. For negligee wear
there are attractive mules of black
satin, black leather with colored heels
and butterfly bows of velvet of the
same tint. Still more attractive is a
slipper made to match the negligee
with which it is to be worn.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
EARLY Cabbage Plants.

Usually we have started the early
cabbage plants from seed in the green
house, sowing the first seed along in
February, then transplanting the young
seedlings into cold frames in March
and to open air in April. We always
thought 1t necessary to resort to the
cold frame in order to harden the
plants off sufficiently. Last year tried
a lot of plants grown altogether in
the greenhouse up to the stage of trans
ferring to open ground. The soil used
for this bench consisted of a very or
dinary clay loan, fertilized with lit
tie superphosphate and potash. The
plants were taken up from the seed
rows and pricked out ON the bench an
inch apart in the row, with the rows
about two or two and half inches
apart. This gives fifty to sixty plants
to the square foot. The plants grew
slowly, but appeared healthy and re-
markably stocky. OF course the tenn
perature during February and March
in the greenhouse was somewhat low,
being adjusted to favor the healthy
growth of forced lettuce. When taken
out directly to the field late in April,
the season being late one, they took
hold as quickly as the plants from the
cold frames that were presumably
much more thoroughly hardened and
suffered no greater setback from the
transfer than the others. l shall here
after grow most of my early cabbage
plants in the greenhouse and do away
with the cold frames for that purpose.

Big Peach Farms.

Michigan has long had good repu-
tation for peaches as well as peach
growers. That these Michigan orchard
lists are progressive and intelligent is
proved by the fact that they have or
ganized several large companies for
the purpose of raising peaches on a
large scale and have bought large
tracts of land in the east Texas fruit
belt and will plant extensive orchards.
Some of these large orchards We're
planted one and two years ago, and
many more are being planted this year.
These Michigan peach growers know a
good thing when they see it, and they
have seen it.-Farm and Ranch.

New York Labor Bills.

The Workingmen's Federation of the
State of New York has long waged
war against the unhealthy conditions
existing in the metal polishing facto-
ries. In these shops are used instru-
ments known to the trade as buffing
wheels, which, when in operation, ow-
ing to no provision having been made
by the factory laws for the protection
of the workmen, fill the room with acid
fumes and small particles of metal.
The trade is one which makes condi-
tons in the factory, at their best, inju-
rious to health.
The federation, holding that the or
dlnary factory inspector is not quail
fed to make the proper inspection of
these factories, has framed two bills
to be presented to the legislature pro-
viding for the appointment of four
new inspectors, who shall be selected
from the metal polishing trade. and
also demanding that no child under the
age of eighteen years and no female be
permitted to work in any part of the
trade.

Evening gowns are not a necessity in
many parts of the country, but in coun-
try or city there should be some gown
for evening wear. The trouble taken
to make the change in the afternoon is
and the consciousness of looking much

Of cotton and wool materials that may
not be in the very latest fashion, but
which are extremely effective and can

II believe in labor unions" said the col
lege president,
"But I think 1 could improve upon their
rules
II with what the masters chose to give
the members were content,
II they handed the nonunionist their
tools
And patted him, like brothers, where his
backbone ought to be
And said: Pray take our job for what
you'll get,
Fer our rights are nonconfiicting in this
country of the free;
We're just as free to starve as you to
sweatr
II they strained their every nerve to turn
out piecework by the heap
Till the masters in alarm cut down the
rate,
II they welcomed in apprentices to do
work on the cheap,
Why then, L think trades unions would
be great!
With these few and slight restrictions,
which are well and wisely meant.
1 approve of labor unions!' said the col
lege president.
"I believe In labor unions" said the bish-
op to his flock,
provided that they do not go too far
For the violence that boycotts and does
injury to stock
Is only fair in military war.
Let nation threaten nation Qf the lasts of
smaller sZe)!
Let them righteously maraud and muir
der, too,
But unionists should never let their angry
passions rise,
For that is such naughty thing to dol
They should strike in white kid gloves
and patent leather dancing shoes
And take little mincing steps to gain
their ends,
II they'll behave like gentlemen, of course
I'll not refuse
To be among the stanchest of their
friends.
If there's nothing in their actions that our
Christian nerves will shock.
I approve of labor unions" said the bish-
op to his flock.
1--WE believe in labor unions" say the ed
itors of tact,
"Provided they are always nice and
good,
For the workingman's an angel; like an
angel he must act
And not like ordinary flesh and blood
Although his sick wife freeze, he must be
silent as a clam;
Strong words, of course, would never be
polite.
He must bear the worst injustice with the
meekness of a lamb
That so he may be always in the right.
If the widows mite be grabbed from her.
she must not make fuss.
For that is hardly ladylike, you know!
She must show an equanimity such as
you see in us,
AS cheerfully we bear our neighbor's
woe
II they never make mistakes and will al
ways take a hint
We approve of labor unions" say the
editors in print.
II the president had logic and the bishop
had more sense
And the editors remarks were never
trite,
They might help to solve the problem as
to how in self defense.
The workers labor unions ought to
fight
Still they are but fellow mortals and no
doubt they've done their best.
I approve of college presidents and bish-
ops and the rest!

Care For Your Fences.

On every farm there should be a
careful inspection of fences at stated
periods. AS in everything else that re-
ouires doing, system is better than a
lack of it. If particular date is set
apart for this purpose it will not be
neglected. 1t may be that all the fences
are in good shape, but it is worth some
thing to know the fact, and therefore it
should be known. Fences are not the
only things that need systematic or
careful attention. But in all reforms
there must be a starting point. and
fences are as good starting point as
any.

SCABS BETRAYED.
They Were Used before Commission
as They Were In the Mines.

They Were Used Before Commission
as They Were In the Mines.
Just before leaving Philadelphia to
attend the convention of the miners at
Indianapolis John Mitchell made
farewell address to the coal strike
commission. Among other things he
said:
"I wish to take this occasion to ex-
press my satisfaction and that of the
miners whom l represent for the man.
ner in which the investigation NJ being
conducted. 1 feel confident that by the
thoroughness of the inquiry it will re-
suit in much good.
"There has been large part of the
time Of the commission taken up by
the presentat ton of evidence to show
lawlessness in the coalfields, or that
lawlessness existed to large extent
during the latter part of the strike.
Personally bear no i'll will to those
who came here, bear no personal NAL
ice to those who worked, and in stat
ing what l am saying l am trying to
separate myself as far as possible
from the special interests l represent.
1.-THE nonunion man who was brought
here, the fellow who was called
'scab,' was brought here for the same
purpose he was put in the mines. He
was put in the mines for the purpose
of destroying the efforts of the men
who went on the strike.
"He was brought here under the pre-
text of getting an advance in wages.
He was decoyed by plea made before
the commission that an effort would
be made by those who had his case in
charge to secure for him an increase of
wages. He came here paid by the COM
panies, hotel bills paid by them, and
our men who went around to see them
say money was furnished to them to
enjoy themselves while they were here.
"He came here, and in not one single
instance did those representing him at
tempt to show that he was entitled to
an increase in his earnings. The nom
union man was used betrayed by those
who proposed to take care of his inter
ests before the commission.
81 want to say, too, as to the matter
Of lawlessness that there is no man con-
nected with the organization, there is
no man associated with this investiga.
ton, who would condemn lawlessness
stronger than l would.
'If did not do it because l was op-
posed to lawlessness, / would do it be-
cause it initiates against the success
Of a strike and against the success and
advancement of the organization. l do
not believe lawlessness ever won a
strike. / do not believe lawlessness to
a very large degree deters men from
working. | believe lawlessness under
all circumstances will initiate against
the men who go on strike.
"As l have said many times, / have
an abiding faith in the American peo-
pie. believe that when they under
stand cause to be right they will sup
port it, and without the support of the
people no great movement can succeed.
That Is true of a strike. If the people
of the country are not in sympathy
with 1t, it must fail, and l am sure the
sympathy of the people will never be
with those who violate the law"

Desirable Varieties of Pole Beans.


Among eight or ten varieties of pole
beans / find the Cuban Asparagus to
be quite an improvement on the Ken
lucky Wonder and Old Homestead as
a green podded snap bean. 1t is very
early, clings well to the pole, and its
great length of pod and almost string
less quality make it very desirable.
The best wax pole bean was the Gold
en- Cluster, which seems to be identical
with the Dutch Caseknife, except in
color. 1t is a much better bean than
the Indian Chief or Black Wax pole, so
generally grown In this locality, and,
though not as early, keeps in good con-
dition for a much longer time. Unless
for use in their green state pole beans
are not grown for shell beans to any
great extent, but both the Horticultural
Pole and White Runner are heavy
yielders of very large beans.
The old fashioned White Runner, l
think, should be more generally grown.
There may be some objection to the
flavor, but when baked this appears to
be removed in a degree, and we con-
slider them better than most beans for
baking. The Horticultural-that is, the
improved variety of that name-is not
as large as the runner, and the mot
tied beans do not look so well on the
table, but when green shelled it is SUI
perior to any. Pole beans cannot be
profitably grown for dry beans alone,
but in the family garden they will hold
their place for some time to come
