JUST A LITTLE GIFT.
The Present an Economical Duchess
Made to Her Rich Friend.

The Present an Economical Duchess
Made to Her Rich Friend.
Recently when the wealthy Mile. de
Il. was to be married one OF our good
duchesses had to make her a present,
just a little present The duchess
thought 1t would be useless to expend
much money for person so rich. She
thought If she would look through her
vast mansion she would be able to find
something, some trinket, to which
the addition of her card would give
sufficient glory. She finally found in
her writing desk an Insignificant
cameo that she had once worn.
The following day she received from
her young friend letter of enthusi-
astic thanks: ooh. you have been very
foolishl This is too, too beautiful"
etc.
"She is making sport Of my little
present." thought the good duchess.
Then came a second letter, this time
from the husband who was to be:
How can we thank you? We are de-
lighted! This will spoil u.s."
1.-THE impertinent fellowr' said the
duchess. HE wants me to understand
that 1 have been niggardly."
Nevertheless she went to pay visit
to the RS before the marriage. There,
in the midst Of her presents, exposed
In a most prominent place, she saw the
little cameo placed upon her card. An
old gentleman approached her. He is
a member of the Academy Of Inscrip-
lions and Bellies Lettres.
What a wonderful present you
have given these children, Nine. Ia
Duchess" he said. For forty years
we have been seeking for this very
cameo. 1t is of the era of Trajan, and
this trinket is valued at 100000
francs"
All, the poor duchess!-COi de Paris.

1t has been supposed and legal his
torians have told us that the office of
coroner was originally instituted by
King Alfred with that OF the sheriff,
both being designed to aid in keeping
the peace when the earls gave up the
wardships of the county. The legal
historians are wrong, according to Dr.
L. ]. Waldo Of the British Medico-
Legal society, who has traced the his
tory Of the coroner and his ancient
office as far back as the year 1894.
In early days the coroner had a
wider and more general jurisdiction
than he now enjoys. Coroners were
wont to hold their views" not only
upon deaths where an investigation
was considered necessary, but also
upon various serious crimes which
were treated as occasions for the rails
ing Of revenue for the crown. The
mission OF the coroner to the state
was not alone to investigate crimes
and bring felons to justice. He super
intended the forfeiture Of money and
personal property by criminals to the
crown, for the recording Of which he
was responsible. These forfeitures
were not confined in cases. of violence
and death to the property~sf the per-

sible, but included animals and instru-

influence Of intoxicating Liquor Upon
Ones Mentality.
Every person who drinks alcohol to
excess, says DR.. Alexander Lambert
In Success Magazine, will not show ev-
cry form OF mental deterioration that
may be produced by excessive tndul-
gence, and the degree OF deterioration
in intelligence which goes to make up
the sum total OF mentality varies
greatly in different individuals.
All who drink alcohol to excess,
however, show some diminution IN
their Judgment Judgment means the
power OF recalling various memories
OF perceptions through the senses,
which have come in from the outside
world. memories Of ideas, memories Of
emotions and all the complicated asso-
citation OF ideas that thSse bring up,
and in the recalling of them weigh each
one with the other and judge Of the
value between them. This also means
reasoning and decision for action. This
power OF reasoning and judging Is
weakened in the alcoholic, and in any
brain long poisoned by alcohol It is an
impossibility to exercise It. Memory It
self is also weakened. There is Excess
sive forgetfulness of the recent past,
and in some cases of advanced alcohol
ism there is absolute forgetfulness Of
wide gaps OF years; a man may be
unable to remember anything from the
last five minutes back for twenty years
and then remember back to childhood.
The memories OF childhood are more
easily stamped on the brain than are
those OF adult life, both because It
takes less to impress a child and be-
cause there is not the confplexity Of
ideas crowdlng into the brain, nor the
completely OF association of ideas to
be recorded. Therefore memories of
childhood make a deeper impress and
last longer. and so the complex memo
ries Of the adult are the first to be for
gotten IN the alcoholic, and those of
childhood remain.

STATES COAL OUTPUT
Coal Production is Given
An Impetus By Trade Conditions
Billions of Tons
The OUTPUT

The production of coal in Maryland
in 1910 was 5,2I7,125 short tons,
with a spot value of S5,S35,058, ac-
cording to statistics collected by the
United States Geological Survey in
cooperation with the Maryland Geo
logical Survey.
Maryland, like Virginia, benefited
indirectly from the six months strike
among the miners in the Central or
Mississippi Valley states. Owing to
the shortage of fuel in the Western
states large amount of West Vir-
ginia coal, particularly from the
southern part of the State, was divert
ed from the seaboard to the temper
rialy more profitable markets in the
West. Profting by this diversion,
Virginia's production, shipped prin~
cipally to Lambert Point piers near
Norfolk, increased over 1850, 600
tons, or 81 per cent.
Maryland coal production, which
because of the approaching exhaustion
of the famous "big vein," had been
showing a declining tendency for the
last two years, was also given an i'm
petus by the trade conditions in 1910
and increased from that of 1909 by
1 1885 tons, or 29.67 per cent.
The valle increased $1,363, 1927, or
30.5 per cent.
The coal mines of Maryland gave
employment in 1910 to $50 men, who
worked the unusually high average of
270 days, and although 81 per cent. of
Maryland's tonnage is hand mined the
average productive efficiency of the
miners is considerably above the mean
average for all the states.
In 1910 the average production for
each man employed wa S98 short tons
for the year and 333 tons for each
working day. No labor troubles were
reported in the coal mines of Mary
land in 1910. The mines are operated
ten hours day.
Although coal was discovered in the
Georges Greek basin as early as 1882,
the first eastern shipments from the
Maryland coal district were not made
until 1880, when small quantities
were transported by barges down the
Potomac river. The first company
was incorporated in 1886. After the
construction of the Baltimore G. Ohio
Railroad, in 1912, and of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal, in 1850, the out
put from the Maryland mines in
creased rapidly.
Maryland and the adjoining counties
in West Virginiasswhich make up what
is known as the Cumberland region,
constitute the only districts outside
of the anthracite region of Pennsyl-
vania where records of coal produc-
ton have been kept from the earl
lest years. On deductng the total
exhaustion from the original supply,
it was found that at the close of
1907 there still remained in the coal
fields of Maryland 1902, 900, 600 tons,
which is 400 times the production
of 1910 and over 900 times the ex-
haustion represented by that produc-
ton.

A Novel Fine,

An Englishwoman in the Rivera
stepped on the footboard Of a train,
intending to enter the carriage, but
found the door locked. The train
started suddenly and she recognized
that she would have to travel on the
footboard until the next station was
reached. A man who saw her plight
crept backward on the footboards,
stepping from carriage to carriage
with some peril and supported her
with his arm until the next station
was reached, half an hour later. The
woman was fined several francs for
illegally travelling outside the train"
The rescuer disappeared without leav-
ing name or address.

When Charles Snyder, the keeper.

made a lunge and fastened its fangs
into the head of the black snake.
which was four, feet long. Instantly
there began tussie, which attracted
every person in the house to the
cage where the fight was going on.
The cobra is about eleven feet long
and the most poisonus speciman OF
the collection. As the big fellow be-
gan gradually to devour it's live meal
its writings and lashings sent the
pebbles from the bottom of the cage
against the glass front with such
force that it was thought the big
pane would break.
The black snake created a rumpus
for nearly the whole time 1t was being
consumed. Persons on the outside,
not knowing it was customary to feed
the cobra with fits live bait tried
their best to explain to the keepers
that the collection had been depleted
because one serpant had swallowed
