SHE WAS CONSOLED

81 A young lady, in a certain Iowa
town, became the proud possessor Of
a large, handsome cat, and taxing the
sex for granted, named it Ben Not
long after this cat with the masculine
name brought from the barn six little
kittens. and laid them at the feet of
it's mistress. The young lady was in
sore distress as the mother of this
family could not, with. propriety, be
called Ben; so, when her brother came
in, she told him of her trouble, and
with ready wit said, -"Well, Sis, call
the cat Ben Hur. So the name was
chosen, and Ben Hur as we'll as the
young lady, is consoled. =.

It has become custom of a number
OF enterprising liquor houses in st. Louis

They write to well-known people in the
various cities asking them to submit
lists OF names of persons who use
whisky. When these addresses are re-
ceiVed, the houses mail circulars pre-

that they will send certain number OF
bottles OF special brand in a plain
oox, prepaid, for a certain amount of
money, and if these circulars are pro-
duotive OF business the man who first
submitted the list, of names receives a

men received a request for addresses

ing matter might be sent. This man,
being practical joker, here saw an OPP
poFtunity, and taking the blanks which
mad been sent him, filled them with
names and addresses of people who were
known to be total abstainers, who never
were known to take a glass of liquor,
nor to have 1t anywhere about their
premises.
Time went on, and the business man
had forgotten allfabout the incident. but
It was called forcibly to his mind when,

With increased and increasing de-

necessity of England opening out low

how little the outside public realize of
the great difficulties that often have to
he overcome in sinking-such as pass
Ing through water-bearing strata or
running sands-or of the enormous
cost entailed by some colliery develop
ments. AS early as 1929 John Buddle.
in giving evidence before the house of
lords, declared that the cost of sinking,
even then, was frequently 10000 to
$4,000, and J, IT. Taylor stated be-
fore a select committee on rating of
mines in 1857 that at Haswell colliery
in the county of Durham, $4,000 was
expended In contending with a quick
sand, and that the shaft had ultimate
ly to be abandoned. At Murton col
liery, a few miles distant from Has
well, 100000 was expended in sink
ing, the quantity Of water pumped dur
ing the operation of passing through
the everything magnetism limestone bed
amounted to an average of 9,3O6 gal
Ions per minute from a depth of $40
feet, and the three shafts ultimately
reached the Hutton seam at a depth
of 1,4S8 feet from the surface, in April

several much deeper than in the last
instance--have been put down since

lieve, at greater expenditure of cap
ital, owing. doubtless to the greatly
improved methods now employed in
carrying out such operations through
