India. second only to this country in the production of tobacco, consumes most of its own product and imports very little. Russia is third and raises practically all her supply, importing and exporting only small quantity. Austria Hungary is the fourth produc- ing country. importing more than a Fourth as much as 1t raises and exports one-eighth of it's own crop. Germany is an extensive grower of tobacco. but imports two and half times as much as 1t cultivates and does not export any. France raises considerable tobac- co under government supervision and imports great quantities of the milder Virginia tobaccos to keep up the quail ty of the cigarettes and other products made under the state monopoly.

BENEFITS FROM BOOKS.
Travelling Along the Roads That Load
 Us Into Other Worlds.

Travelling Along the Roads That Lead
 Us Into Other Worlds.
 The benefit of literature can hardly be overestimated. Books enlarge a mans horizon. They raise a mirage of water brooks and date palm to travel CTS fin the desert. They are "the sick mans health. the prisoners release" !" Shut within a narrow routine of dull necessity, sad at heart in world where wrong triumphs, where beauty has no assurance of respect. where hu- manity tolls terribly merely for its dai- ly bread or the satisfaction of trivial appetites. the earthly pilgrim need do no more than pick up book and. To. he steps into another world
 Here he is free from sorrow and care. free from the burden of his body, from envy, jealousy, contempt self satisfac- tion, from vain regrets. from wishes that can never wear the livery of hope. of heart
 He may mingle in the society of the good and great; he may listen to the wise man and the prophet; he may see all the conditions of human happiness and misery; he may watch the human spirit in its strife with circumstances nobly conquer or basely succumb; he may go down through the "gate of a hundred sorrows" or accompany Dante and Beatrice through the spheres of paradise.-Atlantic Monthly.

GOAL MINERS ARE
 LEAVING AMERICA
Producers Fear that Manufacturing May be Impaired
 From Lack of Fuel.

The Philadelphia Ledger is author ity for the statement that more than 50,000 miners have gone from the coal mines in that state to fight for their mother countries in Europe and that serious shortage of soft coal faces the manufacturers of the east ern states. The export business of bituminous coal has increased enor- mously owing to the war and ex- ports are now in excess of one mill lion tons per month. MT. Frank Wig ton, a member of the Executive Con- mittee of the Bituminous Coal Asso- citation of Pennsylvania says:
 Ordinarily the coal mines must be replenished annually by 25,0O0 fresh miners. The war has ended Slav mi- grafton and 50,O0O men have been lost by our industry.
 "Accentuating the labor stringen- cy, exports of soft coal have reached 100000 tons a month for Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Denmark and Norway and Sweden. Coal is being sold along the Mediterranean at SIS la ton, this price including freight and insurance rates of approximately $1O. With the mines of Belgium in the hands of the Germans and with England restricting her exports to al- lied nowers tO A minimum soft coal shippers here have picked up lu- crative foreign trade.
 Little of the Pennsylvania product has gone abroad most of the ship |ments being from West Virginia.
 According to statistics, the English mines have thus far been depleted 30 per cent of their normal labor thro enlistment. With constant withdraw. al of these men into the army her sup ply of 27O,OOO,000 tons year must, in a large measure, be reserved for her fleet and for home consumption.
 In the last 35 years the coal con- sumption of the United States has in- creased on an average of 10 per cent. annually. With mining operations this year declining per cent and IA per cent behind 1913, boom times will find the country short of coal.

ACCIDENTS OF FORTUNE.

Incidents That Led to the Rise of Two FameAs Dramatic Stars. More than 200 years ago a drama tist. sitting in the bar of a London tavern, overheard a girl in the next room reading aloud from a play book, and he was so much pleased by the sound of her voice and the fuency and sprightliness of her delivery that he sought acquaintance with her, ob- tained her confidence and opened for her the way to a successful dramatic career. That girl, dramatic genius thus accidentally discovered, was Anne Oldfeld, who adorned the English stage for twenty-five years, whose ashes rest in the cloister of Westminster abbey and whose name is one of historic re. nown.
 A theatrical manager in Cincinnati in the seventies, having planned to pro duce popular comic opera with a chorus composed of pupils from the public schools. selected Sarah Frost, then girl about twelve. perceived her theatrical aptitude and provided the opportunity for its development The manager was Robert E. J. Miles. and under his direction she made her first appearance on the stage and passed her juvenile novitiate.
 Her stage name at first was Fanny Brough. Later she adopted that of Julia Marlowe. - William Winter in Century Magazine.
