the coke is produced in the Appalachian
coal field in Pennsylvania, West Viz

RESULT GETTER.

The cheerful taffy giver
AS he joys along the way
Is the one who gathers favorS
AS the farmer gathers hay.
He never in his travels
Is lacking for a friend;
He drops a bit Of barney
And draws q dividend.
No matter where he wanders,
Results are just the same;
He always finds a victim
Who tumbles to his game,
And, whether male or female
And whether old or young,
They sip as it were nectar
The honey from his tongue.
There isn't any danger
Of making it too strong,
Because in that direction
He never can go wrong.
He finds no sort of trouble
Encountered on that score.
The one who gets the package
Is always out for more.

There's nothing quite so strong,

The number of American students at
the German universities is lower than
it has been for years. At the Univer-
sity of Berlin the figures are the small
est on record. Only sixty-eight men and
twenty-seven women from America are
enrolled, as compared with a total of
more than 200 three years ago and
more than 400 ten years ago. A similar
state Of affairs is said to exist in all

New York Sets a Good Example.

The state Of New York has taken adj
yanced ground in the warfare against
tuberculosis. Gov. Hughes has recently
signed a bill which classes tuberculosis
with communicable diseases that are dan
gerous to the public health and imposes
upon health authorities the duty OF tax
ing steps in accordance with this view.
Hereafter physicians in the state of
New York must report all cases of tuber-
culosis to the health authorities. The
cases will be recorded, but the names OF
the patients will not be made public.
This is to enable health boards to disin-
feet houses from which patients remove
before new tenants assume occupancy
Such disinfection will be performed by

Coal, according to the address, may
be divided into three main classes, an
thracite, bituminous and Ignite, but in
the trade these main classes are broken
up into several groups, which are repre-

1t is highly proper that the United

at the Toxic exposition in 1912, but the
effort to create sentiment in favor Of
large appropriation by throwing out the
suggestion that generosity by the United

Japan is extremely puerile, and IN
worthy of self-respecting Americans.

Heber NJ. Wilson of the National
Geographic Survey, calculates that the
annual fire loss in the United States
amounts to $2.47 per capita, compared
with 3 cents per capita in Europe. This
means that the annual loss by fire is
more than seven times as large in this
country as on the other side of the At
Iantic. The comparison is humiliating
to American pride, but a similar dispar-
ity in the fire loss will continue until
Americans as a people seriously conclude
to cease building to burn" Most of
the buildings constructed in the down.
town districts Of American cities of late
have been of structures better qualified
to resist fire than their predecessors. The
good work of building substantially
should go on.
