SHORTAGE OF COAL

In a letter received last night from
Ketchikan, Alaska, is the following:
The coal famine here is beginning
to be serious, as many families are
entirely out of that necessary article,
and there is no likelihood of a fresh
supply for some time to come. A few
tons were secured Sunday night from
the steamer, Wellington, but it did
not go far. Quite a force of men are
engaged in cutting wood, and those
who wish to sell are having little diff
Guilty in finding buyers"
Other sections of Alaska are suffer
ing from a shortage of coal, and it is
feared there will be a general shutting
down of manufacturing establishments,
some at Juneau and Douglas having
already been closed.

St. Valentine, presbyter and martyr. unlike many saints who are specially remembered, did nothing which could have suggested the manner in which his day is celebrated. It was his for tune to suffer martyrdom he was beaten with club and then beheaded) at a time when the heathens of south ern Europe were accustomed to observe the return of spring The quick eyes of those dependent upon sunlight for warmth learned to note and welcome every indication of the approaching season They watched the birds, and when they saw them mating and mak- ing love they were minded to do the same, and so strong was the habit that as with Christmas day. the good fathers did not attempt to root out the custom, but to connect it with some noly name, and St. Valentines day Of martyrtlom fitted very nearly to that time

EonreI and Tnrred,

An English custom of not so long ago was to hang smugglers on Sibbets ar ranged along the coasts and then tar the bodies that they might be preserved a long while as a warning to other cjll- prits. As late as lS22 three men thus vanished could have been seen hang
 ing before Dover castle. Sometimes the process was extended to robbers, assassins. incendiarcs and other crimi- nals. John Painter who fired the dock yard at Portsmouth, was first hanged and then tarrcd in 111G, From time to time he was given a fresh coat of var nish and thus was made to last nearly fourteen years. The weird custom did not stop smuggling or other crime, but no doubt it worked some influence as a preventive.
