COAL SITUATION LOOKS SERIOUS.
Scarcity of Labor and Cars is Given
as the Reason.

that will soon bring the coal situation

 Himself and a few men endeavored to go at Frederick, but met the irate Kitty, who put up a tigerlike resis- tance to protect her comrade at his work. The sound of shots came, the mingled sounds of much confused lam entation from those now threatened with drowning in these deep subter- ranean passages.
 What" exclaimed Cortislaw to Sa- chic, lis it my fate to drown like a rat here in their palace? Quick, Sa- chic, offer them peace-offer them treaty"
 Even the sense of chagrin was lost to Sechio now in his terror for his life and that of his sovereign. He ad- vanced through the water as best he might until he caught the attention of Frederick. still busy at his task. Halt. Count Frederick" he cried. "Wait-we offer parloy-we offer a truce-we offer you peace, if so you will protect the life of our sovereign 50 then" exclaimed Frederick, your sovereign is here?' T admit he is,'' said Sachio. "I ad- nit also that you have the upper hand of us once more, We cannot perish like so much vermin here-stop your cursed wheel and give us respite, or soon it will be too late"
 Are you sincere, Count Sachio?" demanded Frederick-"may we be- licve your word? We have had cause to doubt it more than once."
 Doubt it then no more. Cut of these floods which are drowning us inch by inch, and we will leave your palace and leave tho town. l give you my word and that of my sovereign" Why, then" said Count Frederick. smiling, agreed, and very choe.sully.

 He advanced toward her now, his arms extended, in his face all his awakened passion as he saw her once more so close at his side.
 What" exclaimed Kitty, pushing him back. "Surrender-you ask me to surrender! Why should I? We are but now out of a situation which leaves me disposed for anything but light matters. Why should think of you at all, monsieur ie comte, who have been indeed the cause of so many of these perils which you men, ton now. Until I find the missing half of my coin I have another mis- sion in life. and other matters to con slider, than to talk of such things as these you now suggest"

Art of JaIan.

A certain fastidiousness, a certain love of scrupulous and cleanly order. belongs to the Japanese character: we find it in their manners, their habits. their furniture. in all their workman ship. The word exquisite, so often vaguely misapplied, is an epithet truly applicable to the art of Japan. The faults of this character are tendency to the smallness which often goes with neatness. The Japanese do not work under the pressure of abundant ideas and torrential emotions; they do not fall into the excessive extravaganza which sometimes besets the Chinese. But their unfailing sense of style com- pensates in great measure for their lack of more genial exuberance- Taste with them, as with artists like Velasquez and Whistler. becomes no mere negative avoidance. One might we'll compare the Japanese genius in some aspects with the Latin genius. as it is shown in much of the poetry of the Romans and of the French. where telling economy of words and fineness of handling are made to com pensate for a slightness or even com plete absence of matter.-Laurence Binyon, in the Atlantic.

 'I will not" rejoined Kitty-"if choose to stay here 'tis none of your business"
 The dark flush of anger came to Count Sachio's swarthy features.
 Listen, my sweeting," said he, 'I have no time to waste words with you or anyone. You have what is mine. and what I want. Come Iown-you must-either alive or dead. One day you will find that Count Sachio is not one with whom you cSn idly trifle. Quick now, the paper"
 Pale and terrified, for a moment al- most unnerved, the unhappy girl made no answer.
 Ready, guards" commanded Sachi0 to his men. Take aim. You, there --drag her out of wonder tree"

TELLS OF PREHISTORIC EGYPT
Lecturer at the British Museum De- scribes Face Paint Found In
 Ancient Graves.

MT. Handbook has just delivered . lecture on prehistoric Egypt at the British museum, the first of course of four lectures.
 After a detailed discussion of the dynastic Egyptians on the one hand and the prehistoric aborigines on the other, in the course of which he showed large number of ivory, slate. bone and clay figurines recovered from early Egyptian graves, together with number of skulls. he proceeded to examine some early ceremonial slate palettes, which are illustrative of the fauna of the country at that period, as well as of the artists skill.
 These palettes were used for toilet used for face paint being ground upon them, and it is interesting to note that traces of paint are still visible on some of them.
 They are of further importance, in asmuch as they illustrate pictorially the traditional conquest of the North by the South prior to the unification of all Egypt under one monarch. the legendary Mona, one whose histori- cal counterparts would appear to have been Aha-Men.
 The early predynastic Egyptians were Neolithic, and the fiints of their workmanship are the finest wrought fints in the world, but later on copper came unto use.
 The Semitic element in the Egyptian language proves conclusively that there was q Semitic element in tho blood of the dynastic Egyptians. but this fact does not seem to have much bearing on the connection between the early Egyptian and Babylonian civilization as illustrated by the use of cylinder aeals and similar shaped mace heads in both countries in the very earliest times. for at the period in question the Sumerians and not the Semites were in all probability the ruling factors in Babylonian civiliza- tion. NIT. Handbook concluded his lec- ture with some remarks on the paint ings on early Egyptian pottery. which showed that they knew how to build and navigate sailing boats as we'll as rowing boats from the earliest times.
