The GREAT VALUE OF COAL.

BY far the most valuable of our
mineral products Is coal. In this age
OF steam and electricity, when cheap
power is the very lite of a nations
industry, coal is king. Prof. John
Tyndall said that the seat of Eng
lands greatness was her coal mines.
Without them, she could never have
become the mistress of the worlds
manufactures; and without them she
could not remain the mistress of the
seas. But Great BritaIn's coal lies
two thousand feet below the surface,
and is mineo in a temperature of one
hundred degrees or higher. There
are prophecies that the supply will be
exhausted within hfty years, and il is
stated that the mines of Germany
and the Netherlands are still nearer
exhaustion.
The coal supply of Europe is dis
tributed as follows: Russia has
twenty seven thousand square mi e.,
said to he of poor quality; Great
Britain, nine Thousands; Germany.
three thousand; France, one thous-
and, eight hundred; Belgium, Spain,
and other countries, one thousand,
four hundred.
TIE United States has one hundred
and ninety-four thousand ,qnare
mi es OF coal measures, which is more
than four times the area of all the
oal-fields OF Europe, twenty -ons
times the coal-helds OF Great Britain,
and forty-one per cent OF all the
coal areas OF the world. Not lees than
thirty Of our states and territories

Nature has fitted each creature for
Its proper task, and man is ridiculous

Nevertheless, much of the work of the

are frustrated.
No man is strong enough to fight
against his Creator and win. What
God has written in a mans heart and

NEW HISTORY OFyERMONT.

Edward Day Collins, Phi. D., has
published new history of Vermont
Mr.. Collins is a Vermonter whose
home until recently has been Barton
Landing. He was fitted for college
at Lyndon Institute and was grad
uAted from Yale University in 1897,
and subsequently received the degree
of Phi. from that institution. For
two or three years he was instructor
of history in Yale. Mr.. Collins in
his History of Vermont (Ginn & Co.,
Boston, brings out the essential
differences between New York and
early Vermont communities. These
facts, though very fundamental, are
usually overlooked. Speaking of
the change of sovereignty from New
Hampshire to New York, he says:
when the order of the king
reached New York the lieutenant
governor published a proclamation
announcing the fact and telling the
settlers on the Grants to govern
the Order in Council and the procla-
nation came as something of sur
prise to people who received their
titles from New Ham pshire and had
become accustomed to regard that
parent and superior, the documents
did not cause alarm. The settlers did
not anticipate with pleasure the
change In authority which the order
involved, but they felt inclined to
accept 1t without making trouble, for
to them it appeared to be simply
change in jurisdiction which did not
affect the validity of their titles.
ut could hardly be expected that
the settlers on the New Hampshire
Grants would like the Jurisdiction of
New York as we'll as that of New
Hampsh re-. These settlers were
New England men, and New England
people had their own ways of doing
things, which differed from New
York methods. For example, the
New York lands had been gra nted in
old Dutch times, before the English
took possession, and were held under
what was known as the PATRON sys-
tenn. This gave large tracts to few
men instead of small farms to a good
many men. One man might possess
Thousands of acres; but the men who
work. d on this land would be nothing
but tenants of bis, instead of indie
pendent owners of farms of their
own. 1t was quite different from the
New England method. However, so
far as tenure of their farms was con-
cerned, the settlers on the New
Hampshire Grants did not anticipate
trouble, for they already owned them.
I'm the matter of government. too,
the settlers could not expect much
voice, for in administering fairs the
New York way was not at all like
their own. In New York the govern
ment was more aristocratic, and we
have seen that the settlers we're very
democi attic. Ia New York even the
local officers were appointed either
directly or indirectly by the central
authority. The settlers had become
accustomed to app ointing for them
selves whatever local officers thew
needed. Their town meetings had
come to be a sort of foundation of
government, political nursery and
training school. The two systems
were essentially d fferent, and the
settlers would have to accustom
themselves TO the change; but after
all they were under the same king,
and a mere transfer of Jurisdiction
was not worth revolving against, if
that were ALL"

SKINNER. MAINE.

On the Canadian Pacific railway,
seven miles east OF the Canadian
boundary in the norther most part OF
the forest region OF Franklin county,
is the lumber village OF Skinner,
French, & Co., consisting OF two large
lumber and box mills, boarding
house, store, stable, dozen or more
dwellings occupied by the families of
such industrious and thrifty en-
ployees "a Mr.. Skinner loves TO
gather about himself, and a school
house, this last being donated by
Messrs. Skinner, French, & Co., who
have been very broadminded and
generous in school matters ever
since the beginning OF school work
here by the state over four years ago.
Wherever in an unorganized town
ship in this state there are two
chi dren OF school age, the state
levits a tax OF 40 cents per inhabi-
tant annually, then provides twenty
weeks OF school each year, If the in
habitants provide a suitable school
room. From the first this company
has provided such a room and two
y years ago built the present we'll
lighted and commodious building.
For two years they paid the entire
school tax Of this township and in
every way have manifested a deep
interest and have always been ready
u extend a helping hand. In Mr.. C.
5. Skinner the agent and teachers
have ever found a cordial friend and
a wise counselor.
The school year Of 1903 closed Oct.
II, when graduating exerc ses were
held at the Sheridan school house
and diplomas from the Maine Depart
ment of Education were conferred by
Agent q. T.. Ball upon six pupils,
three from the primary grade TO the
intermediate, and three from the
intermediate to the grammar. At
the close of these exercises the
Sheridan School Improvement League
held short meeting, at which Mr..
Ball explained the scope and objects
of the League, read proposed con-
petitution, and called for new mem
bers. Eleven of the best and most
progressive people responded and
the constitution was also adopted.
This is a social, literary, and educa-
tional organization of teachers
pupils, and friends of education,
which is being formed in most of our
schools, and is doing vast deal of
good. The outlook here is especially
encouraging.
1t is needless to tell Mr.. G. SINNERS
neighbors that he and his firm are
among the most highly respected and
most implicitly trusted in Maine. As
a genial acquaintance, honorable
business man, or loyal friend, he has
but few peers. In his Office are his
nephew, Maynard Skinner, and wife,
and also sister May, who are pleasant
acquaintances indeed. The boarding
house is almost perfect and is pre-
sided over by L. l.. Powers and wife,
also Vermont people.

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO
HEAR AND HEED?
To- the Members of the Legislature

To- the Members of the Legislature
of North Carolina:
Last week there was witnessed in
Raleigh, one of the most impressive
and important events ever occurring
in North Carolina, when men from
all sections Of the State, with one
mind, and an earnest purpose, pray
ed the Legislature to help by whole
some legislation to rid the State Of
an evil widespread, hurtful and de-
structive, and which is now protected
and fostered by our laws. Who were
these people seeking this legislation;
and why were they there: No one
could accrse them of selfish or ambi-'
tious motives. They had no personal
ends to serve, and they received no
money compensation. Many were
there ct q financial loss and personal
sacrifice.
They were there as citizens who
loved their State and sought its best
interest,
They knew full we'll that the liquor
traffic is the fruitful mother Of crimes
and of criminals. That it fills our
iails cur ohaja-gangs, our peniten-
tary; that fully three-fourths of the
effenses on the criminal docket are
due to the traffic. AS such it is the
greatest fee to the security and we'll
being of the State, and IS patriotic
citizens they were seeking to remove
the evil.
They were there because they
loved their homes. Liquor is the
worst foe the home has ever known.
Tt has done more to bring blighted
prospects and squalid poverty and
heart-aches, and fostering shame and
brutalty and lifelong suffering, than
all other causes combined.
They were there because theyloved
their children, and they knew full
well that while the liquor traffic ex-

Many other amendments yer Of
fered, but were voted down.
The bill then, as it goes over to
the Senate, prohibits the sale of fire
crackers over three inches long, toy
pistols and guns, including spring
and air guns, and sky rockets.
The bill to prevent the intermar-
rage OF first cousins was tabled after
a rather amusing discussion. The
idea was brought out by Mr.. Smith
that it would affect many existing
contracts. It was then suggested by
MI. Whitaker, of Guilford, that it
be amendrd so as not to apply to ex-
listing contracts. The question then
was, how it would be possible to
prove the existence of such con
tracts
