US. STEEL TO MINE OWN COAL.
Plans to Keep Mills Running Whether
Miners Strike or Not.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 26.-As
fast as they can be secured men are be
ing rushed to the mines Of the United
States Steel corporation, and it is ex-
pected the output of these mines will be
trebled within a few weeks. With what
the company can furnish from it's own
mines and with the immense stocks on
hand. it is believed the mills can all be
kept going until the coming strike has
been settled one way or the other.
The steel company owns 81, 124 acres
p of coal land, exclusive of the coking
coal. Last year it mined 2204, $50 tons
Of coal. 1t is the policy of the concern
however, to save this coal for future
years, and with this object in view a
contract was made last year with. the
Pittsburg Coal company to furnish ii
not less than 100000 tons of coal a
year for twenty-five years.
Had the strike not threatened this
year, the company would have taken out
much less of its own coal. With what
it can now mine and the stock it has on
hand. it is believed all mills can be kept
running in full until the field can be
sufficiently developed to supply all the
coal needed.

Speaking of food railroad }, man
says:
MY work puts me out in. all kinds

kinds of food.
For seven years | was constantly
troubled with Indigestion. caused by
eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy,
accessible to men in my business. Gen
orally each meal or lunch was follow
ed by distressing pains and burning
sensations in my stomach, which de-
stroyed my sleep and almost unified
me for work. My brain was SO muddy
and foggy that it was hard for me to-
discharge my duties properly.
This lasted till about year ago,
when my attention was called to Grape
Nuts food by a newspaper ad. land 1
concluded to try it. Since then have
used Grape-Nuts at nearly every meal
and sometimes between meals. We
railroad men have little chance to pre-
pare our food in our cabooseS and
find Grape-Nuts mighty handy for it il

CARE OF HARDWOOD FLOORS.
A Lumberman's Hints-Only One Kind of
Wood Now in a Floor

when you buy house." said Alpheus
Tucker, who represents Chicago manu-
factory that makes hardwood floors lex
anime the floors carefully; it may save
you many days of trouble. If carpen-
tiers would be careful to see that hard
wood floors are perfectly driven together
there'd be fewer worried housewives in
this land of ours. Hardwood flooring
shouIdEbe kilnsdried and the building in
which it is laid should be thoroughly
dry. too. Too many persons insist on
moving into houses too soon; they don't
give TIE building time to dry out and the
RESULTS that all the rest of life is filled
with sorrow and complaining.
I'VE positively discourage the use of
oils OF maple floors; as it has tendency
to discolor the wood and make it look
dirty and greasy. If finished floor is
desired we suggest applying two light
coats of varnish. Should the gloss of
varnish floor not be desirable, rub the
floor lightly with a good rubbing oil
and pumice stone with piece of burlap.
Then wipe dry and the gloss will have
disappeared, leaving a dull finish, which
is desired by many. @
All floors should be gone over from
regular housekeeping the hOusekeeper
should pin q soft cloth over her broom,
wettfng the cloth and Wringing it out so
the dust will adhere to it, but be sure
to go over the floor with a dry cloth aft
erward. In case some dirt adheres to
the floor use lukewarm water and soap.
being particular to cleanse it off as
quickly as possible and wipe dry. For
removing stains use a cloth saturated
with turpentine or benzine. If the floor
looks dull get, at small cost, some floor
reviver, saturate a cloth with it, wiring
out half dry and rub the floor with it
and you'll get the desired result

ALL FOND OF MINNOWS.
Great Numbers Required as One Item of
the Aquarium's Food Supplies.

Great Numbers Required as One Item of
the Aquarium's Food Supplies.
In nature everywhere large fishes feed
on small ones and on other forms of ami
NAL life which they may find in the
water, and for their well being it is al
ways sought as far as possible to supply
such natural food to fishes in captivity
In the case of a great aquarium like
that in New York, with many captive
fishes, this involves the supplying for
food purposes, amongst other things. of
q great number of minnowS. The larger
fishes IN the New York aquarium con-
sunled last year about 1000 quarts OF
minnows, or about eight barrels.
The minnOWs thus fec range from half
an inch to five inches in length and aver
age about $500 to the quart so that it
takes bout 100000 minnows annually
to furnish this item of the aquarium's
food supplies, which includes also clans
and Shrimps and cut up fresh fish and
various other things.
The largest of the striped bass, a fish
close to three feet in length and weigh
ing probably twenty pounds, will eat
from 200 to 200 minnOWS in a day If
it should eat 200 day for 800 DAYS in
the year it would in that period consume,
10000 minnOws.
But whether, like the big striped bass.
they eat 200 minnows in a day, or like
some Of the smaller fishes, only dozen,
or half a dozen, all fishes like minnows,
and this .fondness. for them is not con-
fined to fishes alone, but is shared by
other animals Of the sea-. as, for in
stance,+ by seals, which like ,ninnows
very MUCH. If handful of minnovs
are thrown into a pool of seals the seals
viii dye. and swim about after them
with great swiftness until they have
swallowed every one. w..
SO it. takes quite lot of minnows to
satisfy the natural appetites of the
aquarium's larger fishes, but the two and
a half millions or thereabouts thus an
nually taken don't cut much of figure
as compared with the number left. The
minnows for the aquarium are all gath
cred within q comparatively small area,
neighboring to Gravesend bay.-New
