COAL FROM
 AUSTRALIA

San Francisco, Feb. 7-Several large cargoes of Australian coal are being discharged here for the Harri- man railroads. At the docks in Aus tralia the coal cost $10 per ton and it is estimated that by the time it is discharged here the cost totals up to $16 per ton. The shortage of freight cars and locomotives on the Hartman system, however, is such that the railroads save money by getting Aus tralian coal, instead of taking cars and engines from the general traf- fic and using them to haul domestic coal.

The Crested Rat.

The crested rat of East Africa Is To- markable, first because of the great length of the black and white hairs down the ridge of the back. which are rendered the more conspicuous because the hairs along the sides of the body are so short and SO differently colored, being brownish gray and looking for all the world as if some one had taken pair of scissors and maiiciously shorn on the decorative hair, leaving only a dull underfur. Secondly, 1t Is remark able because the skull has a roofing of bones exactly resembling that of some turtles. while, furthermore. this roof has granulated appearance recalling that presented by the skulls of certain fishes. In it's habits 1t appears to be arboreal while from the structure of its teeth 1t would appear to be at least partly insectivorous.

 Girls nnd Rings.
 Girls whose hands are not yet fully grown aud formed-that Is, generally speaking. girls up to eighteen-should not wear rings. Many taper finger has had Its shape spoiled by a ring which became so gradually too tight that the wearer did not notice 1t until the mischief was done. Pianists or per sons who play any instrument seldom wear rings. They think that tie weight of the rings lessens the muscular strength of the finger. If q girl thinks she must wear rings. then let her at least take them off each night and rub moment the part of the finger that has been covered by them. This re stores circulation and helps the finger to attain it's normal growth.
