How It Strikes an Operator.

A coal operator who was at the
capitol to-day entered into an explana-
ton of why coal is high, and as his
statement seems to confirm some pub
lie suspicious, it is worth printing as
he gave it. His mine Is in Ohio. Some
days ago the company of which he is a
part agreed to sell the product at the
mine at s1.95 q ton. He was sitting
In his Office, when several coal dealers
appeared. Instead of asking his price
a ton, one of them exclaimed In a bold
eager voice: Il will give you for
prompt delivery 81 a ton. Another in
terrupted quickly: Il will offer $780,"
Still another jerked out nervously.
raising his voice to the highest pitch:
"And l bid S. a ton" Thus by over
bidding they carried the cost price up
to nearly 300 per cent over the original
price the operator had fixed. The con-
sumner was only considered az a man
to be supplied as rapidly as possible at
exhalted prices.-New York Tribune,

Mems Shortcomings.
(The end.)

A current monthly puts the blame Of
mems faults on women. 1t says:
Women make society; they are ac-
countable largely for the faults of the
male portion of it, at least for the
growth and extent of fault. II men
fall short it is because women have
not demanded higher standards. And
If the woman who works is not treated
with the same courtesy as she whose
~delicately gloved hand holds her own
bank book, it is the fault Of that same
dainty hand, which Is not held out in
kind comradeship to that yields
pencil or scissors. Men get their cue
from woman's treatment Of women.
But men are rarely unkind; theirs is
rather the absence Of kindness; and of
the two. the latter were preferable.

It was great fun, and the roars Of
laughter could be heard In the cabins.
People who never played before looked
in to see one of the tables covered
with cards and such a makeshift
layout as could be gathered up among
travellers.
Excitement ran high, and dealers
changed often, for the bank went
broke every little while. Everybody
wanted to get into the game, and on
the fourth day three clergymen who
had Illuminated in the cabin to any
one who would listen to them on the
folly of the vice of gambling, actually
staked their pennies. They simply
couldn't help it. The thing was simply
irresistible. On the fifth day the ex-
element eliminated when the game
went right along regardless of the
dinner bell, and then the captain
stopped it. No one player lost or O

Umcle Sam Regulates His Clocks by
One of the Fixed Stars.
Strange as it may seem, Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for reck-
Oning time, but he turns his attention
stars, or "fxed stars" as they are
called. Every clear night an astrono-
mer with big telescope looks at GER
tain Of these stars and makes his cal
culations, from which he can tell just
when the sun would cross the seventy
fifth meridian. One of the great clocks
inithe observatory is called the trans
mitter, because it transmits or sends
out the signal that keeps standard
time. This clock is set and regulated
by the star time, and then every day
at three minutes and fifteen seconds
before IL a switch is turned on, and the
beats of the pendulum of this clock are
sent by electricity over the wires to the
telegraph offices in Washington and
New York. When the telegraph oper-
ators hear this sound on their instru-
ments, they know that the noon signal
is about to be sent out, and they at
once begin to connect the telegraph
wires with other towns and cities until
in a minute or two the stick, tick" of
the clock at Washington is heard in
hundreds Of telegraph offices. The
beats stop at ten seconds before IL, as
a notice that the next stick" will be
the noon signal and SO as to give the
operators time to connect their wires
with the standard time balls and clocks.
There are time balls in a great many
cities-usually on top of some promi-
nent building, where they can easily be
seen. The one at Washington is on the
roof of the state, war and navy depart
ment building, at the top of a high pole,
ready to drop the instant the signal
comes over the wire. In the govern
ment offices at Washington and in
many places in other cities there are
large clocks connected with the OBJ
servatory by electricity. These are so
arranged that when the IL o'clock sig
nal is flashed over the wires the hands
of each one Of these clocks spring to
IL. 10 matter what time the clock may
snos IN this way nunureus or clocks
are set to the correct time each day.
Well, the moment the sun is supposed
to cross the seventy fifth meridian the
telegraph instruments give a single
tick, the time balls drop, the clocks be-
gin to strike and everybody in the Dis
trict knows it is 12 oclock.-St Nicho-

She Got I'm a Blush.

A contributor to Boston paper says
that he always thought until recently
that the blushing cheeks of bride were
a certain indication of either her en-
barrassment or her abounding health.
He was disabused Of this opinion by
what he saw at wedding the other
day. The wedding party was In the
vestibule, all ready to proceed to the al
tar, awaiting the wedding march. He
noticed that the bride was very pale,
and tho bridesmaid noticed -it about the
same time and proceeded to take the
ii bride cheeks betw her her thumbs nt and and
fingers and give them a good, hard
pinching. Under this process they soon
showed good color. whereupon the
bridesmaid carefully performed the
same operation on herself, and they
proceeded with glowing cheeks to the

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
# food, but because the food
loes not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
ind gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
