Few Successful Women LAWYERS.

Successful women lawyers are much
more rare than successful doctors
Since the days Of Mother Eve every
one has told every one else that wo-
man was nor logical, that she acted
from instinct rather than intellect,
atc. Yet by some miraculous chance
the fact remains that there are ar the
present day women lawyers of such
capacity and renown that they have
been entrusted with delicate commits
sions by the President of the United
States, who trusted them above their
supposedly superior brothers in he
profession.
II is true that sex is a hindrancs

lutely puts aside womanishness. she
will find that true womanliuess is q,
rTr~+ AN asset for ner as for the vo-
man doctor. The law course Govern
usually three years. and the fees are
about a hundred dollars a year; sAis
does not include the graduate course
which lasts year at a cost of about
"a hundred and twenty-five dollsrs
Il is a discouraEing profession for
woman, and unless she is absolutely
sure that she is fitted for it. no col
lege girl should undertake the long
years Of preparation 1t takes brains

Our Coal Supply.


II was feared at one time that the
rate of coal consumption would soon

thcre was talk OF curtailing the use
OF coal IN many industries, But the
inventor proceeded TO make coal-min-
Ing machinery which lessened the la
Dor of extracting the raw product
from the earth and increased the out

her hope Of extending the period Of
her profitable coal-mining upon the
invention OF machinery that will COM
pensate for the added cost of deeper
mining. I'm America coal-mining ma
chinery has doubled and tripled the
output, A coal-digger cuts and ex-
tracts the coal from its bed as fast az
three or four skilled miners could
formerly do: II falls automatically

elevators TO the light of day. aud de-
post their contents into chutes. Down
the sooty mass tumbles to the break

into sizes suitable for commerce.
Thence il slides on to the washery,
and comes out at the other end TO be
dumped on cars. The cars quickly
cross the country TO some river or bay
where canal-boats are waiting. The
transference from the cars to the
boats, and from the boats to the
wholesale and retail dealers coal
yards, is performed automatically.
Even when the coal comes into our
homes IL is shot down chntes into
the cellar, and nor carried there in
buckets and baskets as of old.
And vet for all this simplifying of
labor. this invention of machines tc
reduce the dust and ashes, nobody
likes coal, and we all pray for the
time to come when its use may be
abolished 1t is not a popular article
of commerce; it is clumsy and dirty
fuel, and in this age of invention and

new method of obtaining heat and
