Coal Trade Fairly Good.

New York. May IA. William n
Truesdale. president OF the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Railroad com
pany, in an interview says that the
anthracite coal trade had not suffered
so greatly as had been generally sup
posed from the business depression.
He added: Fairly heavy demand for
anthracite coal throughout April has
brought the decrease in sales for the
final four months of the year down
10 about 10 per cent, as compared with
the same period of last year"

A Gorgeous Fish.

One OF the most gorgeous fishes In
the world is found, strangely enough,
not In tropical waters, but of the
coasts Of England, where the waters
are gray and deep and cold. 1t is the
opah. or kingfish. This species reaches
a weight of from thirty to n hundred
pounds and is shaped little like the
great sunfish of the Atlantic ocean in
American waters. The fish has im-
mense eyes, OF which the iris Is a
bright scarlet. The gill covers are
green and cold, and the rest of the fish
is flashing red and green, over which
there play sheens of purple and gold.
Again. over this sheen there is another
still more transparent film of silver,
which plays in large, white spots over
the rest OF the bright colors. The fins,
which are large and sword shaped, are
vivid red.

There is evidence to show that Lon

the Roman invasion. It's Celtic name

first century, calls it Londlnium and
describes it rs a flourishing place. The
earliest notice OF Paris is in Caesars
Commentaries" Caesar called 1t Lutte
tia and described IL as n collection OF
mud huts. Lutetia began In the fourth
century to be known as Parisia, or
Paris, and in the sixth century was Sc
lected by Clovis as the seat of govern
msnt. or the two cities London is un-
doubtedly the more ancient, though
how much older 1t is impossible to say.

4 Royal Funeral and an Embarrassed
BIunderjno Official.

The Comtesse de Boigne's memoirs
contain an interesting account Of the
departure from life OF Louis XVIII,
an event which the king himself had
long been anticipating:
'He was great stickler for eti-
quette and gave the most minute In
structions about his obsequies. All
the ceremonials observed at the de-
parture OF the kings Of France were to
be respected, and as he had an ex-
traordinary memory he settled the
procedure down to the smallest details.
At the last the royal almoner made a
mistake I'm reading the prayers for
those I'm extremis. Louis XVIII. inter
rupted him and corrected the mistake
with a presence OF mind and calmness
which never left him for moment.
The family was assembled ut the end
OF the room and was deeply affected.

and the clergy were around the bed

she reached the door, she suddenly

tears with which her face was stream

'The master OF ceremonies made

and spoke kindly to the embarrassed
official. oh, sire, your majesty Is
very kind, but there were many de-
fects. Next time we will do better

A ROTHSCHIlD STORY.
The Reward That Came TO Q Student

Old Rothschild stories are popular
now in Europe. "Some are true" says
an English writer. "some are only
clever, and many are simply invsn-
lions. But all are read with interest" !"
Here is one from the Bystander, Lon
don:
"At a luncheon given by Empress
Eugene at the Tuileries the head Of
the Paris house Of Rothschild WAS
seated opposite great painter. Roth
schild was not blessed with good looks
and had, moreover, an expression Of
distress and resignation mbined. The
painter could not take his eyes of him,
and this worried Rothschild not lit
tie. After the meal he asked the paint
er why he had taken so great an inter
est in him, and to his great amaze
ment the painter informed him that he
had studied him as a model for a beg
gar In picture he was then evolving.
Rothschild's face frightened, and he
said, Il will sit for you And he did.
One day when he was posing a pupil
Of the painters was so touched by the
expression Of woe on the face Of the
model that he slipped five franc piece
into the poor mans hand and van

The ARTICH0KE CLASS.
Who're Clara Barton Spelled on Her
First Day In School,

On the morning OF her first day In
Irregular school" c&ara Barton was
taken on the strong shoulders Of her
eldest brother, Stephen, a mile through
the deep drifts to the schoolhouse. 1t
was the winter term, and the pupils,
as was usual at that time, included not
only the large boys and girls, but in
reality the young men and young wom-
en- Of the neighborhood. Little Clara,
then about FIVE, was the baby of the
school.
She confesses in her book, The Sto-
ry Of My Childhood" that she recalls
no introduction TO the teacher, but was
Set down among the many pupils in
the by no means spacious room, with
slate, from which no one could sep
arate her.
II was seated on one of the low
benches and sat very STILL" Miss Bar
ton remembers. "At length the majes-
tic schoolmaster seated himself and,
taking primer, called the class Of
little ones to him.
"He pointed the letters to each. l
named them all and was asked to spell
some little words, dog eat ETC.,
whereupon I hesitatingly Informed him
that Il did not spell there
"'Where do you spell? he asked.
"T spell in 'artichoke,"' that being
the leading word in the three syllable
column in my speller."
The schoolmaster good naturedly
conformed to the little girls sugges-
ton, and she was put into the 'arti-
choke" class to bear her part for the
winter and read and spell for the
head"

VENEERlNG.
II 10 Produced by Two Methods, Saw
ina and SIieina.


ing and Slicing.
"There are two kinds of veneering-
sawed and sllced-but 1t takes an ex-
pert to tell the difference" says nun
ufacturer The process Of manufac-
ture Is simple and interesting. The
logs, delivered at the factory In the
rough, about thirteen feet In length,
are first cooked In hot water vats to
make them soft and workable.
1T does not matter how green they
are. After being thoroughly cooked
they are placed on machines designed
for the purpose and either sliced by a
powerful knife the length Of the log or
cut by circular saw into slabs about
one twentieth of an inch thick.
"These slabs are the full length OF
the log and when first cut are so plia-
BILE that they can be bent double with
out breaking. The uniform thickness
or thinness OF the slabs is preserved
by the action of the machinery and
does not vary SO much as a hairs
breadth In the entire length OF the
slab.
after the slabs are sliced or sawed
they are seasoned by steaming. This
requires only about twenty-four hours,
and then they are ready for the mar
ket. Some OF the huge oak logs that
come to the factory show by the rings
In them that the trees were from go
to 400 years old"-WashiHgton Herald.

TOMB OF THE MINGS.
II Is q Risky Place For a Traveller to
Visit Alone.

Every traveller I'm China goes to the
tomb of the Mings If he stays more
than few days In Shanghai The
Chinese consider the Mings the great
est rulers of the ancient kingdom, ana
they rank second only to Confucius.
The tomb Is composed OF two colossal
figures facing each other and elabo-
rately carved In the style affected by
Chinese artists centuries ago. Seen In
Central park or Versailles they would
look grotesque enough, but standing as
they do among bleak and lonely hills,
outlined against the clear blue oriental
sky, they have rude grandeur and
imposing simplicity which make them
seem fit guardians Of imperial dust.
1t IL not an easy journey the tourist
must take IL he wishes to pay his re-
spects to the stone giants, nor IL IL
trip advisable for woman to under
take, as Il lies through a region where
hatred of the white devils" is consid-
cred as much part of the Chinaman's
religion as the worship of his ances-
tors. A donkey and n guide are neces-
sary, and Il Is also wise to get party
OF sightseers together for the excur-
sion If possible and to go well armed,
for once foolhardy traveller started
forth alone from the hotel on the Bub-
bling Well road, Shanghai, to visit the
tomb OF the Mlngs and he was never
heard OF again. There are many places
In the purlleus OF Shanghai even where
1t is imprudent for n white man to ven
ture alone in broad daylight. An ex-
ira donkey IL also needed to carry pro
visions as we'll as the cameras, for
most tourists want picture of the
towering images which have so sue
cessfully withstood the wear OF the
Centuries.-New York Press.
