The abandonment Of the Assemblies, -
calls attention to the little stability OF such
associations In this city. In the South
some OF these social organizations have
existed for nearly century. Here q
quarter OF that time seems too long.
| The Patriarchs. which was for years the
most exclusive organization In the city,
finally fell into such state Of decline that
It was abandoned altogether. the Cotillons
were given up after while for no other
reason than that their subscribers got
tired Of them. and the Assemblies, which
had held their own for such q long time
have finally gone, too. like their predeces-
sors.
In addition to these more elaborate
and formal associations, there have been
innumerable dancing classes and small
and early dancing parties which have
lasted prosperousiy and then come to an
end Tor no apparent reason. They might

Attention to Details.

a point of much consideration this sea-
son. says Toilettes. Much delicate
handwork appears, which AT once
raises garment above the common
place in these days. when machine
made. readyto-wear clothes are turned
out by dozens. Pin-tucking feather
stitching and fagotiug and hemstitch-
ing done by hand always lend diStinc-
tion 10 whatever they adorn. Correct
cut, correct lines and correct set Of all
the different parts of the gown and the
girdle stock and other accessories are
of the utmost Importance, and are the
cachet of up-to-date. successful dress

NORWAY. War on Seals.

Norway recently sent part OF us
feet forth to battle and the fleet came
back defeated. No war correspondent
gave the world news Of this naval ex-
pedltiOn. and the peace Of the nations
was not disturbed by the conflict. But
1t was a hard fight. nevertheless, in
which much blood was spilled. The
war was waged against seal-not the
fur bearing kind. but the hairy kind.
whose coat is of no yalue-the species
which makes its home somewhere up
toward the North Pole and comes
south on yearly fishing expeditions.
Although the coat OH this seal is not
valuable. its hide and oil are OF some
commercial importance, and vessels 60
north from Newfoundland and Scot
land TO catch it. But the recent de-
scent Of the seals upon the Norwegian
coast was OF such a character that the
sealers were unable TO cope with It,
and the vast hOrdes OF the invaders
swarmed upon the shores and dc.
stroyed the fish by the million.
The Norwegian fisheries are OF great
value. and n feet of men-ofwar was
sent 10 kill the seals. The iron-cl0ds
steamed in among the seals and let fly
grape and canister at them. They
even let loose torpedoes among them.
Hundreds OF thousands were killed,
but millions remained. and the ships.
after expending all their ammunition,
steamed back to port acknowledging
themselves defeated. The victory had
been a dearly bought one for the seals.
however, and after a while the vast
host went north again and the fish once
more appeared in Norway waters

SMALL SIZES OF COAL.


To person living in the anthracite
coal fields OF Pennsylvania the large
culm banks scattered throughout the
region elicit no particular comment. as
most of these banks have stood in the
position they occupy to-day for several
decades and are characteristic of the
field, says Mines and Minerals But to
persons passing through this section,
notably for the first time these immense
piles Of coal and refuse excite express
sions Of interest ard usually comments
as to the Unsightliness of these disfgure-
ments of the landscape
However many Of these banl-s repre-
sent considerable weal-S as they con-
tain large quantities of the smaller sizes
of anthracite so popular among manu-
factuTers for steami3g purposes. What
are known as the small sizes of anthra-
cite-pea. buckwheat, rice barley and
culm-in varying proportions are being
reclaimed from culm banks, deposited in
mining operations of former years.
These small sizes were thrown out upon
The refuse bank previous to 1866, at
size of coal shipped to market About
1867 pea coal was utilized as fuel: ten
years later what is known now as No. 1
buclwheat was prepared, and it was not
until about S95 that rice, or No buck
wheat barley and culm were shipped
Prior to the times mentioned a large per-
,entage of this valuable coal was con-
signed to waste banks, and to-day wit

SPEED OF THE AUTOMOBILE.
Possess Enthusiastic Owners
of the Machines.

There is something N high-speed
travel that appeals, with the strongest
fascination. to the general public.
Just why ecord-breakingrun should
have such fascination, it is difficult to
determine; but perhaps it is that, IN
consciously. We realize that every
mile per hour added to our high
speed records is another evidence of
the gradual victory OF man over that
all prevailing inertia which it is his
constant effort to overcome, says the
Scientific American.
/ The present year has witnessed
some remarkable feats of speed, par
ticularly in the held of the auto
mobile. Unquestionally the most as
tonishing performance was that of
Gabriel, the winner of the first stage
of the Paris-Madrid race. who covered
a stretch OF 331.2 miles at an average
speed of 65.25 miles per hour. To
maintain such a high average over
roads that are more or less hilly must
necessitate extremely fast running
over certain portions of the road
Although the meet for the Gordon
Bennett cup, recently chrOnicled in
this journal, did not witness any such
high average speed as was achieved in
France, the speed trials for short dis
taEceS were the most successful ever
held. Although it is true that the
course IN Phoenix park is an ideal
one for speeding, We must admit that
the performance of Baron de Forest,
when he lowered the worlds record
for kilometer to % 3-5 seconds,
which is equal 10 a speed of S6b
miles per hour, is truly astonishing.
No less astonishing, either, is the
record Of Barney Oldfeld. made re-
Gently on an oval track, of a mile in
80 40 seconds, or at rate of 64A
miles an hour.
AS far as we are able to ascertain.
the highest speed attained by rail-
road train on a trial that was proper
ly tested by competent timekeepers.
was a fraction over 80 miles per hour,
so that the automobile is to-day
practically as fast as the locomotive.
OF course, it is different proposition
TO run a single machine capable of
carrying only two persons at high
speed, and to do the same thing with
a train capable of carrying 800 or 400
people. The fact that nearly 80 miles
an hour has been achieved by an au-
tomobile proves that it is merely a
question of weight and horse power
before these machines will be running
Trial mile at the rate of 100 miles an
hour or over. Such performances.
however, are merely sensational and
spectacular; they have no practical
value, except SO far as they may af-
ford data to the automobile makers
on the action Of the more delicate and
sensitive parts of the engines when
they are pushed at their utmost limit.
