Spurious Works Attributed to Stsrns.
The literary pirate was not the only
trouble of the eighteenth century au-
thor. There were the concoctors and
publishers of spurious works under
his name, and Sterne suffered as heav-
lily from these as from the pirates
The publication of the first two vol
umes Of ''Tristram Shandy" was fol-
lowed as soon as it was apparent that
the book was a success by a third,
written by a hack writer and boldly
attributed to Sterne. Several other
spurious works appeared In the au-
thor's lifetime, and after his death his
posthumous works In two volumes
were obligingly written for him. as
were also three sets of his original
letters.-London Chronicle.
Derivation Of Blue Monday.
The term blue Monday was derived
from a custom prevalent In the six
teenth century of decorating the
churches In Europe with blue colors
on the Monday before Lent. The fash
ion Of making a holiday of this par
ticular Monday, especially for those
whose vacations compelled them to
work on Sunday, was subsequently
transferred to all Mondays Excuses
produced by the celebration resulted
in stringent enactments on the sub
ject, and finally the custom was abol-
ished One tradition has 1t that the
name originated from the Monday hol-
iday revels, which generally left blue
marks upon the faces Of quarrelsome
persons.-New York Telegram.
Thaekeray's Kindness of Heart.
Thackeray was the gentlest satirist
that ever lived. As editor of the Corn
hill he could hardly bring himself to
reject a manuscript for fear of hurt
ing his would be contributors. The
story of bis actually paying for con-
tributions that he never printed in
order to conceal the fact that be had
rejected them may be true or false.
We do not remember exactly how the
evidence points. But even II It be
story. such stories are not told Of men

cray commonly Observation-Disclosures

COAL SITUATION
 IN. WASHINGTON
SECRETARY OF THE AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS TELLS
 WHAT IS BEING DONE.

Mir. George Baldwin, chairman of the local chapter of the American Mining Congress received the fol- lowing letter from Secretary Cal braitth which at length explains the situation at Washington, regarding Alaskan coal matters:
 'I enclose you copy of letter which is now being mailed to Mir. Me Donald which Will explain itself. l take it that this will not find you in Seattle, but am anxious for you to be advised of the situation as We see it.
 While 1 realize your radical views upon this subject and i'll con sequence am prepared to have you , question somewhat our position, yet am sure that a careful considcra- tion of the facts stated will, to some extent modify your attitude. and am also sure that if you had been in contact with those who arc fighting for us as l have been in the last 'hrcc or four months, you would un- i derstand inc futility Of cxp"cting any , lining but q compromise.
 "Th" adverse vote of four 10 one in the House of Representatives up. on the Cal Hydro Electric Power bill granting the right to lay pipe upon a right-of-way for an open diich run ming across a portion of the forest re, serve. which has been used for thr- ; ty years. indicates the sentiment in Washington which We have to meet.
 "We must not lose sight of the i fact that Alaska is absolutely para i lyzed until some legislation is made effective and that the only legis- lation that is possible at this time IS that which We are advocating. It will be an easy matter to repeal such law whenever public sentiment vii GustTy it, but at this time, a half a loaf is better than no bread at all, uation. and trust you Will agree wit us"
 In the letter addressed to Mir. Me. Donald, which is a review Of tthe efforts put forth and sentiment found to exist in Washington, Secretary Calbraith in part says:
 'I haste to write you in reply and if, upon my statementt of facts, you and the other Alaskan Claimants are still of the opinion that the work We have done in Washington is in. imicable to your interests, shall 1 be much inclined 10 cease efforts and l to let matters take their course unless some other plan can be devis
