AN APOSTLE OF THE SIM,
Pill LIFE.

This is a funny world. People are
so im~pressionable that it is 40 longer
safe to suggest anything out Of 3he
ordinary course Of events, because
there is always somebody who will
misuse what saner folks could find
advantageous.
A French woman committed sui
eide by hanging herself from a hook
over her front door. The matter De-
came common knowledge, ana the
next day three more women shufled
off this life on hooks suspended over
their front doors.
Take the use of Adolph Hintz, Of
Chicago, which has been going the
rounds OF the press lately: Adolph

and calculated to make a thinking
man cut cut some of his worries and
a great deaI of harmful Injuries. Fol
lowed closely, it would add years to
the average life and put much conn
fort into those years.
Adolph decided to live a simple
life to the limit. He gave up al
luxuries and canlped in the basemen
of his home. He furnished it rude
w. cooked his own meals, which
makes it certain that they were ba'
ones, spent all his spare time in tn
woods and fields, and preached sim

Out of it came what viii colne GU

Coal in Russian Empire

1t was not until the discovery of
petroleum in southern Russia that the
presence of extensive coal beds in
that region was suspected by geolo-
gsts. Since that time it has been
clearly shown that European Russia, to
say nothing of Siberia, possesses one
valuable coal field in her southeast
ern provinces, through which the
River DonetZ runs, a field which yields
fuel of excellent quality. Thirty years
ago the output did not exceed 100000
tons; last year it was 9000,0 600, and
this is only half the possible amount.
Strange to say, the home demand does
not rise to even this small quantity
and the Mining Association of South
Russia is considering whether it can
not compete with English coal in the
ports of the Mediterranean. There is
small hope of their doing anything of
the kind, but if the cars government
would give it's 120,000,000 subjects
peace. an economical administration
and rational fiscal system 100000
tons of coal would he too little-plus
the petroleum of Baku-and not too
much even for southern Russia.
South Russia coal Is shipped from
the port of Mariupol. on the Sea of
Azov. That set has lately exhibited
a somewhat rare phenomenon. Its

sion of thought, viz, the printed book.
which they knew would find its way
the most humble. Thus the book
Architecture" with it's stone pages
died q lingering death, and the book
Paper" with its printed thought
came into existence. Yet could this
eminent writer step into the grounds
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
q few months hence, he would find
reincarnated in its palaces that lost
soul of architecture which went out
with the Fifteenth century.
Space will not permit of detailed
description of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, so let us leave it asleep
today under a mantle of soft, feathery
snow-the same peaceful refreshing
sleep that brings to the rose strength
and vigor to unfold its wondrous
sweet-scented petals to the morning
and gladden. the smiling landscape.
Tor when the first breath of Spring
blows from the Southland, that sleep
will have ended and the bewitching
Goddess of the Louisiana Purchase
will stand forth in all her regal splen-
dor with her flowing creamy robes
shimmering in the sunlight, her fair
broad brow garlanded with flowers,
her lustrous starlike eyes lifted to
the Heavens and stretching out her
beautiful arms to the four corners Of
the earth, she will beckon all people
to her feet. Aye, and they will come
in tens of thousands to drink in that
matchless grace, beauty and purity
which, distilled from all the centuries
that have passed, and caught up by
the magic hand of time, have been
lavished upon her.
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1904-04-02

The following eloquent and poetic
description of the beauties of the
coming Louisiana Purchase Exposition
is from the pen of Mr.. II. II. Mu-
chall, an official of the Missouri
Pacific Railway, at st. Louis:
Where a wilderness of forest trees
but a few short months ago, lifted
their whispering branches to the
Heavens; where the native wild
flowers of gentle. breath and hue"
bloomed in bewildering profusion;
where the pretty squirrel disported
himself in the most becoming man
ner, cycling askance the venturesome
person who CHANGED to stroll into his
preserves, there now greets the eye
the beautiful buildings o. the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition. Nature
has been supplanted by the art of
man in so short time as to make
one almost incredulous that SO much
could have been accomplished.
A renowned French author has said
that from the origin of things, down
to the Fifteenth century, the intelli-
gence of a nation, that is to say, its
religious and artistic tendencies, hab-
it's, customs and traditions, found eX-
preston in its architecture. Mon
uments of stone were the books of
the people. The very life of society
was woven into the great arches, col
umns, pylons, colonades, facades Of
the solemn yet beautiful architecture
Of the period referred to. But with
the advent of printing, architecture
was dethroned. 1t ceased to symbol
ize all the arts and to be the great
book of humanity. The source of its
inspiration was gone; printing sup
planted it rapidly. AS a means Of
education people chose the lighter,

tombstone factory when a passenger
with a mourning band on his hat en-

1t might have been a minute before
the agent took from his bag pho
tograph Of a 12-foot monument and
passed it over with this remark:
This is my line of business. I see
you have met with a sad bereave-
ment."

"Sorry-very sorry. They cometh

Here is something in Scotch granite
which is our speciality. Any one walk
of it. 1t is not only a work of art,
but is accepted as proof that the one
who erects it will ever grieve."

The agent sighed heavily anl
