BRITISH COAL MINING.
Statistics Show Is Is Not so UnheaIthfuI
as Generally Believed.

The question of how far the miners en-
ployment in our coal mines is relatively
unhealthy is one that has often been dis
cussed by medical men, by coal owners,
by the miners themselves and by the gen
eral public. Statistics demonstrate that,
while the labor in our coal mines is not
entitled to take rank as equally healthy
with agricultural labor and other outdoor
occupations, it is very far from being as
unhealthy as the general public are dis
posed to believe. Another general idea
is that the work Of the mine not only
tends to shorten life, but to disable men
from following their occupation at a rel
Trades Review has analysed the figures
on the question given in the recent CEN
sus returns of the United Kingdom, and
the result is both instructive and in some
respects unexpected. In every dictrict of
Importance a number of men are still fol-
lowing the laborious occupation of heW-
ing coal at the age of rs years and up
ward. In Glamorgan 70 men of that age
were employed under ground in the cen
sus year; in Durham, SO; in NOrthumber-
land, "a; in Yorkshire, 45, and in Lanca-
shire &c. Between the ages Of 65 and 70
the numbers were, naturally much larger.
Of the heWers so employed there were
I'll in GlamOrgan, 532 in Durham, 238 in
Northumberland, 500 in Yorkshire and 480
in Lancashire. This is not at all a bad
record for an age that is likely to aver
age about 70, which is a period of life
when comparatively few men can con-
tinue to follow exhausting and continuous
labor.-Baltimore American.

Rice's Blows Lack Force.

Party Platform PrevarIcatIon.

1t was pretty bold statement for SEN
ator Quay, of Pennsylvania, to make, on
the floor Of congress, as he did the other
day during the discussion Of the bill for
the admission Of three new states, when
he said: eff the Republicans can lie to
the people about the admission of terri
tories in their platform, they can lie to
them about other planks of their plat
attention to the fact that Senator Bever-
idge was a member Of the Republican
national convention and that Senator
Lodge was its presiding officer, which
declared for the admission Of the terri
tories of New Mexico, Arizona and Okla,
homa as states. This recalls the fact
that party platforms. in these days, are
not so much a declaration Of principle
as a declaration of purpose to secure
votes. Principles are sacrificed to ex-
pediency, and this fact no doubt. has
ton Of thoughtful and observant men to
question the sincerity of platform de-
clarations and to vote according to their
best lights and in obedience to their in
dependent convictions. Senator Quay
did public service in rebuking notable
weakness of party leaders which has done
them little credit and which has done
their party much harm.-Leslie's Weekly.

WOMEN MAY NOW HAVE
BLUSHES THAT NEVER FADE
London Man Tattoos Them on the Cheeks
of Beauty.


There is a tattoo man in London; not a
tattooed man, which is something quite
different, but an artist who makes his
living by designs on the human skin. He
has announced his ability to create by
tattoOing a permanent blush upon the
cheek OF beauty.
This is a most peculiar invention, and
one which is rather ShiVery to think Of.
The artist in question produces his effect
by means Of electrical needles, and it is
said that he has already given to one
lady, an American, a complexion of deli
cate rose and white, warranted not to fade
in the wash. The operation is said to be
free from pain, producing only a slight
ening of the color in the wrong place
would, of course, disfgure the subject for
life, the daring artist has as yet made no
such plumbers.
The tattooing fad has a singular fas-
cinatiOn for some women. It's charm is
probably due to the danger that the tat
tooed one will wish, when it is too late
that the mark could be rubbed off. Some
women have been tattooed with dainty
little monogram, or other device, on the
shoulder or arm, an adornment producing,
it is said, somewhat the same effect as
that given by the cOurtplaSter patch of
the eighteenth century. But when it
comes to having a permanent pink put
on ones cheeks, it would be well to pause
and reflect a considerable length of time
before trying so audacious an experiment.
Let the impulSive beauty consider that
there are times when a woman is natur-
ally pale, and that paleneSS under an arti-
fetal flush is anything but charming; in
fact, it is usually hideous- Moreover,
paleneSS is in itself beautiful under GER
tain conditions. Last and most important
variety is the peculiar fascination of
beauty; and there is no variety in a uni
form flush. The first and the last word
about tattooed bushes should be-don't.

WANT NATIONAL LAW
IN GARNISHMENT
Cause Of Heated Discussion at the Gro

the second days session of the National
Association Of Retail Grocers and General
Merchants was taken up in the discus

OF the committee on the credit-rating
system and the executive and legislative
committees
A heated discussion followed a paper
by A. w. Farlinger president of the
Grocers' association Of Atlanta, Ca, in
which he recommended that a committee
be appointed to draft national garnish-
ment law, and that proper steps be taken
for Its introduction in congress and final
passage. Although President Williams
tried to postpone action. the delegates
insisted that 1t be disposed Of at once 1t
was decided that a committee of five
members be appointed and instructed to
make a study Of the garnishment laws
of the different states and be prepared
at the next national convention to report
a bill embodying the best points. 1t was
decided that national garnishment law
is not practicable. and the new law is to
be passed by the legislatures of the diff
ferent states.
A resolution condemning the practice
of buying exchanges was introduced. By
buying exchanges in meat that several
retail dealers may pool their orders and
buy at the same time from the same
wholesaler, thus doing away with the
jobber The resolution was passed after
being amended to read that the national
association discourages the practice Of
buying exchanges.

NEW YACHT GROWING.
Work on the Prospective Cup Defender
PROGRESSING EavorabIY

BRISTOL. R. l.. Jan. 14.--The raising
Of the keel frames of the midship section
Of the new yacht, ordered as a prospec-
tive cup defender, was accomplished to-
day at the Herreschoff, and it is now
possible to observe some general idea of
the form of the craft. While her lines in
many respects conform to those of the
Constitution. there. will be less dead
rise, less curve at the cardboard, the
bilges somewhat harder and a consider
ably fiatter floor. The departure from
the CONSTITUTIONS lines is, however not
at all extreme.
Owing to the storm post not being in
position, the framing is being worked
farther forward than aft and there are
now several frames out ahead of the
lead keel.
AS in the other cup defenders, more
reliance is placed in the belt and longi-
tudinal frames. of which there are ff-
teen in the midship section. The belt
frames are six feet eight inches apart,
with intermediate frames between. AS
usual the connections are made by bars
and the plating will follow the belt frames
end for end On the whole, the work is
progressing favorably and there appears
to be. every prospect that the new boat
will be overheard before the middle of
April
