the Sale.
CoSNELLsyrLLE,July l6-A $40, 900
coal deal has just been concluded
between parties from Conceivable.
or rather, New Haven, Dunbar aud
Dawson, and the owners of the Hoult
Coal 4 Coke Company at Hoult W.
Va. The company have 800 acres
of splendid coal land, the vein being
the regular 2ittsbure seam, and at
that point ranges from six to nine
feet. IL will be accessible by rail
and river for shipment. The pur-
chasers are Sydney Patterson, George
Moore, Robert f. Sheppard, Bernard
O'Connor Bernard Baker aud Jacob
Mcfarland.
Hoult is a station on the Farmont
branch Of the Baltimore 4 Ohio
railroad. The mines have not shipped
any coal yet, but the two opened e
both into the coal. They are drift
and slope, the latter the most eco
nomical means of mining. The coal
lies nicely, being OF slight dip and
in most instances, so far as the
workings go, self draining, except,o
course, in tie slope line.
The fuet that the coal lies so that
it can be shipped by either rail or
wafer adds much to its value.
Freight rates by water are great
deal cheaper than by rail- This fact
gives operators having access 10
navigablc rivers for the product of
thsir mine great advantage IL Stone

1t is the intention Of Tie pew
owners oil the Hoult Coal 4 Coke
Company to operate both mines and
get their produce into the laarket as
soon us possible. No coke ovens will
be built for the present. River ship
ment cannot be made until after the

The Start

In married life is generally
made on an equal footing
of health in man and wife.
But how soon, in many
cases, the wife loses the
start and fades in face and
fails in flesh, while her
husband grows even more
rugged and robust.
There is one chief cause
for this wifely failure and
that is, the failure of the
wonanly health. When
there is irregularity or an
unhealthy drain, iniani-
nation, liberation or
female weakness, the gen.
cral health is soon i'm
paired.

FOODS FOR BEAUTY.
Eat Fruit and Green Vegetables If
You Would Improve Your Looks.
Do rrrich q In hnn 11tif11l 2 Or if

Eat Fruit and Green Vegetables If
You Would Improve Your Looks.
Do you wish to be beautiful? Or, If
you possess beauty already, are you
anxious to retain it?
The chances are, in either case, that
the answer is yes. Well, then, it all
depends to a great extent upon what
you eat Certain kinds Of food encour-
age pulchritude, while others have an
opposite tendency. 1t is worth while
to know how to regulate your diet
with view to acquiring beauty, If
you have it not, or to retaining it If
you are it's fortunate possessor.
At the present time Uncle Sam is
cultivating. on his experimental farm
near Washington, beauty making
plant. 1t is called the "fenugreek,"
and the seeds Of it are eaten by the
women of Algeria to make them beau
tiful Their belief is that it makes
them plump and improves their COM
plexions. But the government experts
as yet have not reached a satisfactory
conclusion as to whether this faith is
justified or not. 1t may be correct,
but judgment on the point is sus-
pended.
However, there are foods which I'M
deniably are beauty-makers. 1t is
worth any woman's while to know
what they are, and to try them-un-
less, perchance, she is SO perfect ply
sically as not to need them-in her
own case, and for her own advantage.
''The best of all beauty-making foods
are fresh fruits and vegetables" said
Professor H. w. Wiley, the famous
government chemist, who is incidental
ly a skilled physician. ''They contain
relatively little nourishment-a woman
could hardly live on them exclusively
for any length of time-but for rea-
sons which as yet are imperfectly IN
derstood, they possess extraordinary
value as healthgivers. If you want
bGght eyes and clear complexion,
eat plenty Of them"
The fact is that most fresh vegeta-
bles and fruits are nearly all water.
Spinach is 921a per cent water, cab
bage is X per cent water, beets are SS
per cent water, carrots are 81 per cent
water, caulifower is 81 per cent water,
Alcumbers are 90 per cent water, egg
plant is 90 per cent water, onions are
1871 per cent water, tomatoes are SO
per cent water, green corn (cut from
the cob is S11a per cent water and
celery is 941a per cent water. Fruits
are pretty nearly all water, though the
banana is relatively rich in starch.
Fruits and vegetables, then, are of
no great use in supporting the human
body. Their value is mainly medi-
cinal, and as beauty-makers they are
the chief among foods. 1t is almost
impossible to eat too much Of them in
a fresh state, though, Of course, the
diet must include a reasonable proper
ton Of those substances, such as meat,
which furnish blood and muscle tissue.

LEGAL CODE OF BABYLON.
Measures Taken to Preserve the Peace
in $500 Is. {.

Measures Taken to Preserve the Peace
in $500 Is. c.
A legal code that is nearly 1000
years older than Moses has been I'M
earthed in Susa, the ancient capital Of
Ahasuerus. 1t is in the form of a
column of stone five feet high and sets
forth in 300 paragraphs certain of the
rules of law governing Babylon 23OO
B. c.. The Literary Digest says:
TN general the old testament prin-
ciple Of an EYE for an eye and a tooth
for tooth is consistently carried out
in this Babylonian code. Among other
things it says: If a man knock out
the eye Of a freeman his own eye shall
be forfeited. If he break one Of the
members Of man his own member
shall be removed But this rule APP
piled only in the case of freemen. If
the suffering party were a slave a pay
ment of money could make good the
wrong. The same was true Of a freed
man. On the other hand, if an in
ferior struck a superior he was punish
ed with fifty lashes, and if he was a
slave his ear was cut off.
The leXtalionis was carried on so far
that if surgeon was unsuccessful in
performing an operation he was not en-.
titled to any pay. If the patient dieI
under the hand Of the surgeon the lat
ter lost his hands, in case the patient
was q freeman. If a slave died under
his hand he must buy another. In case
a builder made a failure Of a structure
he was also punished with death.
Whether Imprisonment was one meth
cd Of Furnishing wrongoers does not ap-
pear, but evidently if at all applied it
was Of comparatively small import
ance. Money fines were, however very
common and were proportionate to the
wrcng done. He who falsely claimed
that another was indebted to him must
pay one-third of a nina. Freemen fight
ing were fined a nina. Theft Of an
animal was punishable by a fine of
thirty times it's value. Hammurabi was
much concerned for the safety of his
highways. A robber who attacked a
person on the public road was killed, or
if he could not be found then the COM
munity in which the crime had taken
place was fined nina in case the life |
of human being had been lost

America. Instead, he returned to Ber-
lin, and for more than a month lived
there, waiting for a chance to get his
friend Kinkle out of Spandau.
At last the chance came, Schurz
bribed guard and Kinkle was set
free. Schurz, Kinkle and the guard
made their way to Rostock, where
they were secreted by the Democratic
Reform Club, Of which Mr.. Schmitt
was prominent member.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, when g.
storm was at its widest, Mr.. Schmitt
and some trusted companions took
Schurz, Kinkle and the guard through
the streets and alleys down to the
harbor, where waited a large yawI,
manned by six oarsmen.
1t was two miles to the Baltic, where
there was a vessel being loaded with
grain, and it was on this vessel that
the revolutionists were to reach free
dom. The fugitives huddled down in
the bow of the boat, and at the low
word Of command the oars were
dropped into the muffied rowlocks, and
their blades cut into the murky water.
SO rough was the sea, it was some
time before the yawl could be brought
alongside the ship, and it was with
difficulty the three men reached it's
decks. A hearty hand grasp all
around and the smaller craft pushed
away and before daylight the larger
one was bounding over the sea toward
England.
The subsequent history Of Schurz is
known. Mr.. Kinkle never reached
prominence in this country and died a
few years ago in an Ohio town. What
became of the guard that released
Kinkle is unknown. Mr.. Schmitt and
General Schurz never met after the
night when they babe each other good
by on the choppy waters Of the Baltic,
but they wrote to each other frequent
ly, and Mr.. Schmitt has a number Of
letters from his countryman.
Mr.. Schmitt was born in Mecklen-
burg-Schwerip, in 1926, and from his
early youth led life Of excitement
and adventure. He learned the tan
ner's trade and Travelled all over Ger
many, France, Italy, Switzerland and
other countries.

Some of Our Philippine Brethren.

The Manabas, a native Philippine
tribe, are fierce and warlike. They
build their houses in the tops Of trees,
and ordinarily change the site of their
huts each year. When someone Dies in
a house it is abandoned, and if the de-
ceased is stranger his family must
pay the value OF the house. They be-
lieye in three principal divinities,
which they imagine are animals in
hahiting the forest. One is called Ia
ma, who watches over the traps and
snares set for deer and hogs. Ten
nanghob is the god Of crops, and Busoo
is the cause Of sickness. They offer
sacrifices to these three divinities. The
,Bagabas believe they have two souls,
Of which one goes to heaven and the
other to hell. They worship and offer
sacrifices to the devil in order that he
may allow them to live, for they say
that death, sickness, and other disa-
greeable incidents are due to him.

Giving to Good Roads.

E. FL. Hartman, the capitalist, has
given $4,000 toward the construction
of good country roads in Orange coun-
ty, New York. That's sensible. This
country is fairly we'll off nova days
so far as schools of higher education
and Libraries are concerned AS to
good roads we lag behind the world.
Europeans have followed the fine ex-
ample of the Romans, the great road
and aqueduct constructors In this re-
spect we have followed the BARBARA as
who made no great highways.
The lack OF road building is the
weak spot Of our material civilization.
What will the people Of the twenty
first century think Of us when they
read that in our time whole communi-
ties were cut off from the rest of the
world by an embargo Of mud? We
have railroads with no way to get to
them. The farmer has daily mails,
newspapers and telephones to give him
the prices current and no means by
which to market his produce.
1t cannot be expected that farmers
will build expensive highways. To
build roads is the business Of govern
ment. IL the government, national,
State and local, will make it's appro-
priations and this fund is supplement-
ed by the gifts Of wealthy men who
wish to be real benefactors, there will
be a beginning Of the only solution OF
the good roads nrohlem
Mr.. Carnegie, Mr.. Rockefeller and
other wealthy men could push civili-
zation further forward by giving
lot Of millions for good road building
than in any other way.-Des Moines
