THAT CAN BE DONE.

What can be done is illustrated by what was done the other day in Victor, Colorado. A freight car loaded with ore got away, ran a distance of $50 feet down a three per cent. grade and jump ed off the end of the track. Charles Clever was on top of the car when it started. He made strenuous efforts to stop the runaway by applying the brakes. Close to the end of the rail- road track stood the powder magazine of the Ajax Gold Mine Company. This building contained twelve tons of giant powder. The walls of the structure were solid brick, two feet thick. After the car attained its terrific momentum the men who were on the outside of the shafthouse realized the awful danger that was imminent. They ran and shouted to those in the shafthouse to get out, but the men there were unable to retreat before the freight car reached the magazine. The car struck the brick powder house with deafening crash, went clear through 1t and scattered 4S6 boxes of dynamite in all directions without causing one particle of the powder to explode. The boxes of pow der were twisted around and ground down under the car wheels and the ruins of the brick walls. The powder house roof was lifted clear from it's foundations and carried along with the car, Just before the impact Clever jumped from the car to the roof of the powder house and rode upright on the powder house roof as it was carried along by the freight car over the rocky surface, and escaped without scratch.
 And yet some wise people say there's no such thing as luck. ,

BANKING IN NEW YORK.

The entire banking capital invested in New York is about $451, 100000. Charles J. Bullock says in the Atlantic Monthly that the Morgan and Standard Oil alli- ances control not less than $205, ,0O0, ,OOO.
 MT. Bullock divides the financial in- stitutions Of the metropolis into two major and two minor spheres of infiu- ence." Of the two major spheres" one is dominated by the Standard Oil
 interests: the other is controlled from
 the banking house of J. P. Morgan &
 Co. and the offices of two of the large insurance companies. The Standard
 oil interests control the National City Bank, which has capital, surplus and undivided profits of $41,O00,OOO and de- posits of $131, 100000. This bank stands at the head of chain of dozen banks and trust companies in New York and is believed to be connected with fifty or more institutions in various parts of the country. The Morgan sphere in- cludes three chains of banking institu- tions. At the head of one of these chains is the First National, which within ten years has increased its total resources from SS1,OOo,ooO to 11O,ooO,Ooo, and now has a capital, surplus and undivided profits of $23,OOO,O ,OOo" The total capital of the institutions in this chain is esti- mated at $3S.ooo,OOO. with deposits and loans respectively, of s149.ooO,OOO and $72, 1000, 1000.

INTERPRETING TALK.

There Is talk. and quite definite talk, that the anthracite coal miners are be- coming very impatient over the appar- ent inability of the conciliation board to settle the differences that eZist, but they realize that even if the questions now pending fail of solution this is not a good time to strike. During a presi- dentiaI year, according to their expec- tations, political complications will make victory for the miners certain ty. in the event of a general strike.
 This is interesting and may be im- portant. It will be truly important if the country has to go through another big coal strike next year. But perhaps this, like many other things which look possible or probable for next year, wont happen,

SOME SMOKING.

The people of this great and rich country seem to have money to spend for what they want. The records of the internal revenue office for the year ending July 30. 1903, show that during the year revenue taxes were paid on 6,7s6. .S90,5S3 cigars weighing more than three pounds per thousand, an increase of 6s2,S2S,26S or more than 10 per cent. on the 6,1Os, ,657, ,2S5 on which taxes were collected in 1902. The increase in the number of cigarettes weighing not more than three pounds per thousand was SSS,931,7 7Ss, the figures for 1902 being D. 642,961,944 and for 1903, S,031, ,S93, ,732, which included 491, 09S at $O.54 per thousand. The production of cigars weighing not more than three pounds per thousand fell off from 760,9S2,S70 to $40, ,4s9.s70, decrease of 120. .4S2, ,500. The production of cigarettes weighing more than three pounds per thousand in- creased from s,656S5s to s,e7s,sss. The total number of cigars, big and little, produced in the country, therefore, was TAPS. ,4os, and the total number of cigarettes was s,OS1, ,s9s, ,7S2. ...> <
 These are big figures. They will help those who don't like the smell of cigar cites to understand why they have had such a bad year of bad smells.

COFFEE AFTER DINNER.

Everybody knows that coffee, as a rule, is not well made in this country, a fact which may account for the com paratively few coffee drinkers to be found at the breakfast table at the present time. Again, coffee is more ex- pensive than tea, and cup of coffee to be quite satisfactory must be made with an abundance of material. AL though coffee is little used for breakfast it is very commonly drank after dinner, a custom which perhaps is justified, particularly when wine-drinking accom- panies the meal, for coffee is an antidote to alcohol. A hot draught of coffee is undoubtedly a powerful stimulant, en- abling both mental and physical fatigue to be borne. -.
 On the other hand cup of hot coffee disagrees with many persons; their digestion is disturbed rather than aided; there is interference with the normal chemistry of the digestive pro- cess, and the dyspeptic must eschew hot strong coffee as well as tea. The ex- cessive drinking of coffee is in any case an evil. But 1t is often forgotten that coffee can be taken in other ways, and in none better than in the form of jel- ly. A clear coffee jelly after dinner is every bit as good as the hot infusion, while it is free from some of the draw backs of the latter. Coffee, unlike alcohol, diminishes organic waste, rouses the muscular energy without the collapse which follows alcoholic inhibi- tion, and gelatine in the form of jelly Is cooling, assuages thirst, is soothing, and has tendency to absorb any excessive acidity of the stomach. Gelatine is what is known as a 'proteid sparer''-- that is it saves the destruction of pro- teid, such as albumin. Having regard to these facts, therefore, coffee jelly should form a very suitable sequel to dinner and an excellent substitute for the infusion. Moreover, the astringent principles of coffee, which however, are different in kind and degree from those present in tea, are nullified by the gela- tine. In short, jelly is an excellent vehicle for coffee, but, as is necessary in making the infusion, the quantity of coffee in the jelly should not be stinted. Coffee serves an admirable purpose in dietetics and those with whom it disa- grees when taken in the form of a hot infusion will very probably find the jel- ly quite satisfactory.-London Lancet.
