Where the Coal Goes.

Who uses most Of the coal? First
and foremost Of any single industry,
the railroad consume from 10000
600 to 100,000,000 tons a year, and
these and steamships probably use
nearly 80 per cent Of the country's
output, which is as much or more
than Is used for all domestic and
heating purposes. This leaves ap-
proximately one-half of the total pro-
duction-principally bituminous-tO
be accounted for by the industries of
the country.
Coal and manufacturing are terms
which are in general practice closely
related. but they are constantly
changing their adjustments, which af-
feet and are In turn affected by trans
portation. For instance, New York
is the greatest manufacturing State,
yet she possesses no coal mines. On
the other hand, West Virginia is the
third largest coal producer, but she
has comparatively no manufactures.
The time will doubtless come when
West Virginia, with her vast coal re-
sources, will stop shipping away all of
her fuel, largely to New York and
New England, and become a great
manufacturing State. 1t is only neces-
sary to consult the statistics of manu-
featuring Of any region to arrive at a
close approximation Of its relative
coal consumption. Some figures pre-
pared from the 1905 anthracite coal
output-practically all from Pennsyl-
vania mines-will convey an idea of
where the country's hard coal renders
its final accounting. In that year
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania consumed in .ound numbers
41,O00,000 tons; New England s.
100000 tons; States west of the Ohio
River. 100000 tons; Southern States,
100000 tons and Canada, 1000, 600
tons. Only 10000 tons were exported

chairman Of the judiciary committee,
the committee that had recently pro-
posed a resolution asking for the res

the present bill under discussion pro-

be much better to allow the senate to

A QUEENS BEAUTY.
Alexandra Retains Youth by Simple
Living.

Queen Alexandra, Of England, has
long been the wonder Of the world
because Of her remarkable appear
ance Of youth.
She has lived nearly Sc years, ex-
periencing much sorrow and suffer-
ing. yet she looks younger than her
youngest daughter and is besides q
radiantly beautiful woman.
1t is not matter Of chance, how
ever, but the result Of careful study
and attention by which system of
habits has been established that is
now instructive. so that the beauti-
full Viking princess has taken on an
imperishable habit of youth; she will
never grow old.
To begin with, the queen has never
permitted herself the evil luxury of
anger. or any show Of bad temper.
Nothing will so quickly age a person
as anger, nothing so quickly dissipate
the look of youth as vexation and ir-
ritation, and the queen has never
been known to lose her temper, con-
sequently the wicked wrinkles that
tell the tale of wasted forces are not
written upon the smooth skin.
The queen has always prepared
herself for all court functions with
the most studied care: she is massag-
ed and bathed in stimulating lotions
and oils, and Is properly nourished
before the event, and Immediately at
ter any function she returns and is
again rubbed and fed.
At all times her majesty Is careful
about her diet. for upon this she
counts to keep her figure and the
beauty and freshness of her skin
which even now is like that of a
young girl. with a delicate bloom In
the cheeks.
She does not drink tea, coffee or
chocolate or wine, milk being her
only beverage. Cows are kept at the
royal stables connected with all the
royal residences. so that the milk is
fresh and pure. She avoids condi-
ments in her diet. pepper. vinegar
strong spices being eschewed by her.
They dry the skin and produce
wrinkles. besides affecting the liver
and she refuses desserts Of a rich
heavy kind. She eats very little meat
and rarely beef. Chicken, tender
birds, fish and eggs make up the
substantial part Of her diet.
The queen is an ardent advocate of
fresh air and exercise. although she
has never adopted the strenuous
sports of the English people. She is
fond of riding and driving, skating
and of brisk walks at all times of the
day and in all kinds Of weather. She
lives in cool rooms, never having the
temperature above 60, and she be.
lieves In open windows. When al
Sandringham, the royal countr,
