Coal Easily Heads List-cIay Products
and Limestone Next In lmpor-
tance According to Figures
Of Geoogist.

Chicago.-The annual production OF
the mineral wealth of Illinois has been
compiled by the state and government
geological surveys. 1t has been found
that in 1905 the state produced total
of $57,9S9,O 900 in minerals. OF this
$39,754,000 was coal.
Clay products and limestone come
next to coal in Importance. Other
useful decorations from home min
erals are sandstone, Portland cement,
natural rock cement, fluorspar, min
eral spring water, spelter, lead ore,
glass sand and molding sand.
One startling thing discovered in
all this research, according to e. B.
Van Horn, in the Mining World, Is
the decrease in the amount Of spring
water sold. AT one time there was
water to the amount of $3,03S,0 900
sold from springs in Illinois. In 1905
this dropped to $4,000. The explana-
ton Is that resorts have been found
ed at the different springs and the
water is used for bathing purposes
and not sold in the market.
The production of Portland cement,
which Is becoming one Of the most
important factors in building, is in
creasing. On this question Mr.. Van
Horn says:
: THE output of Portland cement for
1905 was 1,545,500 barrels, valued at
S1,741,150. In 1904 1,326,704 barrels,
with value of $1,449,114, were pro-
duced. The natural rock cement was
valued at $166,555 in 1905, as com.
pared with $4,000 in 1904. There
are four concerns manufacturing
Portland cement only, three manufac
turing natural rock cement and one

Robbina Of a Beggar.

The street beggar with pockets lined
with money Is fairly familiar figure
of city life, but one of the free dis
pensaries reports an instance Of an
attempt to get free medicine. on the
plea Of poverty, that deserves a place

middle-aged woman appeared the

which she took her place In the line

there was a cry: I'm robbed I'm

professions as to assert that her

thief had got away with 800. Then
she lost the opportunity to get free
medicine, thus adding, in her view, In

NEAR DEATH THROUGH SNAKE
Sleeper Awoke to Find Monster Coiled
Around His Neck.

F. E. Feve, an employee of the
Northern Electric, had thrilling ex-
perience with a snake Tuesday morn
ing. Feve with two companions occu-
pies a tent made out of gunny sacks
in the western portion of Oroville.
He was awakened by feeling of
strangulation. He attempted to cry
out, but so tightly was his throat
bound that he could make no sound.
AS he became fully awake he realized
that something must be done or he
would choke. He grabbed frantically
for his throat and his hand slipped
over the scales of huge snake which
had coiled itself around his neck. He
frantically pulled the coils loose, the
reptile resisting him and biting him
in the cheek.
His two companions, awakened by
the noise, came to Feve's rescue. The
two pulled the snake away and threw
1t to the floor, where 1t glided away
while the men attended to Mr.. Feve's
wound The reptile was gopher

AN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS.

The autumn season is coming more
and more to be recognized as most
suitable time for housepainting. There
is no frost deep in the wood to make
trouble for even the best job OF paint
ing, and the general seasoning of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition In every way. The weather,
moreover. is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length Of time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, a
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money II they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats
Instead of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days (weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
SO that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is inconvenient, Of
course, but IL one would suffer this
slight inconvenience. 1t would add two
or three years to the life of the paint"
All this Is assuming, of course, that
the paint used is the very best to
be had. The purest of white lead and
the purest OF linseed oil unmixed with
any cheaper OF the cheap mixtures.

therefore, make painting bills too fire.

BRICKS MADE BY LIGHTNING.
Elements Are Kind to Man Living
Near Columbus, Ind.

Columbus, Ind.-Nathan II. New
som, farmer of Sandcreek township,
has brought to this city some samples
of bricks made by lightning. During
a thunder, rain and hail storm on his
farm recently lightning struck a shock
of wheat and burned it.
Several hours later Mr.. Newsom
was walking through the field and
found the ground so hot near the
burned shock that he could not stand
on it. The next day the ground
was still hot, and he took a shovel
and dug down to see for his own
curiosity how much of the ground had
been affected.
Ten inches down he found that the
ground was thoroughly baked, and
pieces of earth which readily hold
together were taken out The earth,
which was fine black SOIL Is cooked
to brick red. and every bit of vege-
table matter has been roasted out.

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market years ago knows from ex-
perience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee If one values
health and steady brain.
She says: "At the time Postum was
first put on the market l was suffer-
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-
cided to take his advice and try
Postum, and got sample and had it
carefully prepared, finding it deli
cious to the taste. So | continued
its use and very soon it's beneficial eff.
fects convinced me of it's value, for
I got we'll of my nervousness and dys.
pepsia.
my husband had been drinking cot.
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. l persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
We Soon learned tnaL POSTUM does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom,

entire family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely sat
isfying results, as shown in our fine
