The total production Of coal IN thc

logical Survey, was 4f5.s42 COS short

Pennsylvania anthracite and 332 .513.
ga short tons, with a spot value Of
ST., 135,2e9, was bituminous and lig-
mite.
Decrease from 1907.
The history Of the coal mining indus
try IN 1908 was il marked contrast to
that Of the preceding year. During 1907
the production 81 both anthracite and
btminous coal reached the highest point
ever recorded Until the panic start.
ed in October the demand In all parts
OF the United States had been Of a rec.
ord hreakiug character and the produe-
ton seemed To be limited only By the
inability Of the operators rs procure
adequate labor and transportation fac
ilities. In addition To this the year
1907 was one Of general peace through
out the coal-miniag region There were
few instances Of labor disafiectiou, and
what time was lost was insufficient 10
affect the total production. The record
made in 1908 was IN striking contrast
with these conditions. The most pow
erful influence was Of course, the effect
of the panic which began in October,
1907, and continued throughout 1905.
Added to this there was in the organized
States Of the biiumnous regions a gen.
eral suspension of operations on April
i, pending the adjustment Of the wage
scale. in the anthracite region agree
ments had been made in 1906 for q per-
iod % three years, OF to March 3t,ll0O9,
50 that there was no general suspension
Of mining among the anthracite work
ers A third unfayorable influence was
the protracted drought III the Eastern
and Middle States, which began early
in the summer and lasted well into the
winter months. In Arkansas, KKansas,
and Oklahoma the coal production was
Influenced less BY the financial condi-
lions than by the competition Of Goa
with fuel oil and natural gas from the
Mid Continent and Louisiana fields. A
short cotton crop, and consequently les
sened demand from ginning establish
ments, also adversely affected the coal
production Of these states

Reply to a Presbyterian Missionary

A few days ago, in the Salem Re-
form Church, Doylestown, Pa, says
THE Catholic Telegraph" the Rev.
w. L. Schmalhorst, former Presby-
terrain missionary to Chill, undertook
to regale his listeners with his mis-
sionary experiences In the Catholic
country. They were Of the usual Prot
estant order, and portrayed the inn
morality of the people Of that coun-
try, their superstitions, their intemper-
ance and utter lack Of personal re-.
sponsibility. Of course, the speaker
said, the Protestant schools and mis-
sions have wrought some change in this
sad condition Of affairs, hence the great
need Of help from the Jealous Profess
tants of this country.
The Presbyterian calumniator was
not long in being refuted and to the
Doylestown paper, which published the
report of his address. Mr.. James H.
Fitzgerald, who appears to know some
thing about Chilli himself, sent let

PRIESTS BREVIARY.
An Explanation Of the Office and Why
II Is Said.

why do you priests spend so much
time in reading from little black
book?" Every priest has heard this
question from his on-Catholic friends.
The Catholic has a general idea that
the priest is under an obligation tn
recite his Office every day, but few
Catholics have any clear notion as to
just what the Office is or why it is
said. ,.3'. 80
When you see priest reading his
breviary did it ever occur to you that
you have a share in that prayer, that
you derive benefit from the recitatios
of that Office by him? He is taking
part in the public prayer of the church
of which you are member Reflect
that in this country alone there are
more than 10000 priests, who daily
spend more than an hour in offering
church and for all her members. and
the clergy of the United States form
very small, fraction of those of the
universal church. All over the world
in monasteries and cathedrals the Di-
vine Office Is solemnly recited at stat
ed hours; and every priest in every
land lays aside his other duties at
some time each day to raise his heart
to God and to join in Offering to Him
q ne NJ, IN
earth d.
The book which priest uses for the
reciting of his Office is known as a
brevary. Why is it so called? The
word "breviary" would seem to indi-
cate something short (from the Latin
word brevis,' short or brief) and so
many an overworked priest on busy
Sunday may we'll wonder why that
word is. used in connection with the
tremendous long Offices which the wis
dom of the church imposes on him or
that day. ..
The breviary contains the Once
which all priests and clerics in Holy
Orders are obliged to recite daily un.
der pain of mortal sin unless they are
exempted by a grave reason. 1t il
divided into four volumes, adapted t.
the four seasons Of the year, since al
the Offices of the year in one volume
would be too unwieldy for use. .
These Offices are in Latin, and ar
made up of psalms, several canticle
and many beautiful hymns parts o
sermon by the great Fathers of tn
? church. such as Gregory, Augustin
and Chrysostom, many short prayers
versicles, responses and the frequen
repetition of the Lords Prayer, tn
Hail Mary and the Apostles Greed.
