production of coal. t J!

IT KEEPS PACE WITH INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

Fuel Output of the United. Bta tea Una Increased Until It Now Amount to Twenty-five Per Cent, of the World's Total Production. The announcement that the rapid Increase in exportation of coal from the United States is causing uneasiness among British coal producers uud exporters lends iuterest to some figures on the coul production of the world uud especially of the United States, just Issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. From these it upix'tii's that the coal production of the United States Is now nearly live times uu much as iu 1S70, that the exportation has in that ttme iucrensed f mm a quarter of a million tons to over four million tons, aud that the United States, which iu 1870 supplied but 17 per cent, of the world's output, now furnishes about 5 per ceut. The part played by coul lu industrial productiveness explains tbe phenomenal increase of fuel output noted iu these statistics. Just as uo other country can match the industrial growth of the United States under the policy of protection, so no other country shows such -a rapid increase in coal production as does the United States. Great Britain's average annual coal product, as shown by a recent and widely quoted statistical pulilk-attou of the Swedish government, lu the five-year period, 1871-5, amounted to 127,000,000 tous, and in 1S91-5 amounted to 185,000,000 tons, an increase of 45 per cent, in the average annual output. Germany's average annual coal product iu the period 1871-5 was 45,000,000 tons, and in the five-year period 1S01-5 was 7,000,000 tons, an increase of 115 per cent. The average annual coal production of France in the period 1871-5 wus 10,000,000 tons, and in the term 1801-5, 27,000.000 tons, an increase of 70 per cent. The average annual coal production of the United States in the period 1S71-5 was 45,000,000 tons, and in the period 1891-5, according to our own figures, was 132,000,000 tons, an Increase of 193 per cent. The average annual output of "other countries" not individually siecitled was In 1S71-5. 34.1X10.000 tons, and in 1891-5, 79.000,000 tons, nu increase of 132 per cent. The total average annual output of the world In 1S715 was In round numbers 206,000.(00 tons, and in 1891-5 520.IHIO.OIH) tons, nu ancrease of !I5 per ceut. Omitting the United States, the annual output lu

1871-5 averaged 221.000,000 tons, and the average in 1801-5 was S.mh.ikio.OOO tons, an increase of 75 per cent. ConiHiriug the growth of coal production of the United States with other parts of the world in the periods named, the record stands as follows: Growth of Coat Production of Leading Countries. Comparing Average Annual Output in the Period 1S71-5 with that of Period 1SU1-5: Increase, 1871 to 1SH1-5. Per cent. Great Britain 45 France 7o fit-ruiany 115 Otlrer countries lmii!ttlnK U. S) 132 World (omitting Fnlted States 7!i World ilni-ludiug t'nited States Tnlted States ls Both the area of coal production and quantity produced have Increased greatly In the United States. In 1870 the number of States in which coal was produced was but 20, while in 1897 the number was 32. In 1870 the production of anthracite coal was reported only from Pennsylvania, while the census of 18S0 reports production In Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia, and more recent reports show a production of anthracite coal in Colorado and New Mexico. In the South the increase has lwen especially rapid. Alabama In 1S70 mined but 11.000 tons of coal, and in 1897. 5.202.000 tons. Kentucky, which iu 1870 mined hut 150.000 tons of coal, produced in 1897. 3,216,000 tons. Tennessee Increased her output from 133.000 tons in 1870 to 2.500.000 tons in 1897. and Virginia, which produced but 02.000 tons in 1870, produced 1.304.000 tons in 1897.

Trade reports from all over the country continue to tell of remarkable business activity, with prices stroug aud steady, collections good uud an increasing demand in all Hues of trade. One

correspondent to a trade paper steed up

the situation as a "buyers' panic." That

Is the kind of a "panic" (hut u protec

tive tariff always brings about. In 1893. under the free trade administration of Mr. Cleveland, with Its tariff reform Wilson-Uorman lew we had an

other kind of a panic, the kind that has always followed upon every experiment

made with free trade o any approach to It by this couutry; a panic when banks failed, factories ( losed, business liii'U went to the wall and Idle workmen walked the streets. It is safe to say that the people of the country prefer the "buyers' panic" of 1800 under protection to tbe sort of pnulc we had In 1893 under partial free trade. Interdependent Prositerltr. The railroad news of 1808 and 1890 nnder tbe Pingley law offers a striking

contrast to the sort of railroad news

which was all too common iu the years

of tariff reform aud the Wilson-ilorman law. Then the regulation railroad news

was the going of one i-Ltad after another

Into the hands of a receiver. Now nearly every week brings the report of the incorporation of one or more new railroad companies. The published reports

The general prosperity of the railroads goes to make a part of tbe mass

One of the commercial agencies gives the amount ot the failures for the first three mouths of this year, as compared with the figures for the same period In the three preceding years. The figures are as follows: ISP S2,(iWUHKIil.St7 SsS.tHIS.W 1898 3l,71IMHI(i:ls!ili 57.252.oia1 These are statistics which the "calamity howlers" do not quote and do not refer to, for such statistics record plainly ami pleasantly the exb-ring prosperity of the country. The difference between the early months of 1890. when the Democratic party was preparing to for mulute Its demand for a ilehused currency, when money was scarce and dear, because public confidence ill the suiiuduess of the currency was shaken, and tbe opening mouths of 18SI9, when money is abundant and cheap uud business men are tilled with confidence, is like the difference between night ami day.

No Further Meddling- Wanted.

Nothing is more certain than that the

people have had enough of Democratic

turiff reform to last them for more

than a generation. While the remeui

1S97 lasts none but theorists turn jth era who have nothing to lose will eon sent to further meddliug with the pro

sas City Journal. A Palace Krected Through Spite. It seems that the New Palace iu Berlin is to be made sanitary by the dru lniug of the swampy land upon which it Is built. To do this it will be necessary to deepen the whole bed of the Havel, great difficulties will have to be surniouuted and the expense will lie enormous; but this seems to be tbe only way In which the palace can lie made habitable. It is said that this palace owes its oiigiu to pique. Frederick the Great was riding by tbe site oue day when his adjutant told him the report was current that he hud uo money left since his wars were ended. Kiug Frederick was nettled, and replied, poliitiug to the swamps around them: "I will show them I am not so poor as they think. I will build a palace here." He was as good as his word, and, at a tremendous outlay, built the palace, but he neglected to prepare the grounds by proper draining, and so the palace has always ttcen damp and unheal thful. iu spite of the beauty of the surroundings.

An Interesting Bank Note. One of the most interesting notes Id possession of the Bunk of England Is one for 1,000, which was given by Alexuuder Cochrane, afterward Lord Duudoiiald, iu payment of a flue Inflicted upon him some time before the buttle of Waterloo, (.'uchrune, after destroying the French fleet in the Aix roads, was accused ami convicted of a stock-jobbing fraud, and part of his sentence wus the payment of a Hue of 1,000. Cochrane, whose sentence wus years afterward annulled, bitterly resented bis puuishmeut, and when, lu July, 1815, he tendered the note in payment of the line he made the following pathetic indorsement upon It: "My health having suffered from loug aud close confinement, uud my oppressors having resolved to deprive me of my property or life, I submit to robbery to protect myself from murder, lu the hope that I shall live to bring tbe delinquents to justice."

Few countries have suffered so many changes of mime as Ireland. In the time of Ptolemy the island was known us Scotia. Dloduros Slciilus calls the Island Irs, or Iris); in the De Mundo, credited by some scholars' to Aristotle, it Is called Ireune; In the Argonaullca of Orpheus It appears as Irlnus; Strubo culls it Irene; Caesar, Tucltus'and Pliny mention It ns Hllieruia; Mela culled it Juverna. The native names iu Celtic are Ir, Eri or Erin. Plutarch mentions It under the name of Ogygia. The name Ireland is no doubt derived from the native Ir or Eri, but when it came into genera) use is a question concerning which icnolurs are much at variafci-o.

He had eateu his supper at 11 o'clock, made a lust call on u man with the grip and had turned into bed, dog tired. Ii was long after midnight when the telephone bell rang, relates the Knn sits City Star. The doctor was sunk III a deep sleep.

The bell disturbed hi in uud he at length decided to an swer It uud stop the ringing. He took down the receiver uud shouted "Hello!" "Is that you, doctor' asked uu anxious voice.

"Hum," said the student, trying to think of something to suy. "Is the baby feverish"" "No, 1 don't think he Is." replied the Voice. "Hut he sneezed ollee to night." "Ah," said tbe bogus doctor, "that's a good sign. If he sneezed and is not feverish be is all right. You might give him a little water if he wakes up and cries; if he gets too warm take some of the covers off." "All right, doctor. Much obliged.

A Meteoric Pojeclile. The discovery of meteors that have actually been seeu to fall Is a rare piece of good fortune. Such uu event occurred lust August, near Aiidover. Me. The meteor fell on u cloudy morning, uud exploded with a uolse heard for many miles around aud which was generally supposed ta be thunder. Its path through lite air was marked by u trail of black smoke. Tearing Its way through a group of tree:''., it almost struck u man passing. It did strike a stone wall und buried Itself iu the ground, from which it was dug by Heury V. Poor, the well known editor of the Manual of Kallroads.

Wall Paper and Diseases. "Dr. Chauiel of Cornell University," observes the Kansas City Times iu an ed:toriul article March 8, "has made au uuuouucemeut whicu Is calculated to cause a slump iu the market for stock of the wall paper ti n -it. The doctor says that he has made chemical analysis ol' a large uumber of samples of wall paper, and iu nearly all of them has fouud arsenical poisons, in some of them the poison existing iu surprising quantities. He wus led to make the investigation by having brought to his ulteutlou a uumber of cases of si. Uncss which were traced to paper coveted rooms. It is to be presumed that. In the future, houses, in order to be classed as "strictly modern.' will have to have frescoed walls. ' "While on the sub. ecl of wall paper, the Cornell scientist would confer a favor upon mankind by pursuing his Investigation further. It would be interesting as well as instructive to know what per cent of the Inmates of insane asylums owe their mental condition to their tiavlug been (-impelled to live iu rooms whose walls were covered with realistic portrailures of an opium smoker's dream. Some of the designs which are alleged to make living rooms cozy aud homelike resemble uotbiag so much as the efforts of a dissipated artist to reproduce the experiences of au attack of the delirium tremens." Alabastlue, the rock-base cement for coatiug walls. Is free from these objections. It Is sanitary and costs less than wall paper.

CHILDREN AT TABLE. The Idiot and the Pcdagog Compare Notes ou Truinilli. John Kendrlck Bungs advances some original Ideas oh hum. discipline In the Woman's Houte Compatilou while describing a successful dinner party given by "Tbe idiot." "Most certainly," said the Schoolmaster, "I certainly do approve of having children tit table ou alt occasions. How else are they to learn bow to conduct themselves? The discipline of the nursery Is apt to be lax, and it Is my belief that many of the bad table manners of the present-day child ate due to tbe seuse of freedom which eating lu the nursery naturally luculcatts." "There is something in what you say," said the Idiot. "Tommy, for instance, never learned to throw a French pancake across tiie table at his sister by Matching his mother uud myself here in the dining-room, yet iu tiie freedom of the nursery I have known it done" "Precisely," said Mr. Pcdagog. "That very little Incident illustrates my poiut exactly. Aud I have no doubt that In the nursery the offense seemed less heinous tlmu It would hud It occurred lu the di'iitig-room, aud hence did not meet with the full measure of puulshuieut that it deserved." Well," said the Idiot, reflectively, "I quite agree with your proposition that children should dine iu the dining room with their parents, and uot upstairs in the nursery witii a lot of tin soldiers and golliwogs. And us for the stern lather who says bis children must dine in the kin-ben until they learn bet hi- manners I never had much confidence Iu him or In his inuuuers, either." Public Banquets.

A very pretty part of the evening's entertainment at public banquets are the souvenirs lu which the ices are served. The souvenir at the I.i Huug Chang banquet given iu New York was a uiuuduriu'.s hut. with the yellow button and ostrich feather. A horse show ussoclatlou hud a very elaborate souvenir consisting of a horse iu brass standing upon the box containing ice. At a dinner celebrating the opening of au electric road Hie Ice was served in little curs, imitations of those of the rotid. At a dinner at the Waldorf in New York, given by the dock commissioners, there was a tluy dock to remember the occasion by, and at a Board of Trade uud transportation diuuer a float carrying several railroad curs held the ice. At a diuuer given to Lieutenant I'eury, the souvenir, au Kskituuu boat made of skiu wus it most expensive Utile memento. Hundreds of other souvenirs have ben prepared by n large New Y'ork house, whose eutlre business consists of makiug such things. There ure mortar boards uud toot-balls for college banquets, ten pins for bowling clubs, miniature desks for schoolmasters' associations, aud fish aud game of all kinds for sporting clubs. The souvenirs at public diuuers are not usually expensive; but those at bachelors' dinners and wedding feasts often cost many dollars apiece. Silver loving cups, a ml hearts are (Hipular, und a pearl pin laid lu au oyster Is a pretty conceit for a bachelors' dinner. It Melted Before the Heat. "Yes. sir." remarked the emphatic muu.

start. Write to her at Lynn. Mass. Miss Edna Ellis, Higginsport, Ohio, writes: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham I am a school teucher and had suffered untold agony during my menstrual periods for ten years. My nervous system was almost a wreck. I suffered with pain in ray side and

had almost every ill human uesn is heir to. I had taken treatment from a number of physicians who gave mo

no relief, in tact one eminent specialist said no medicine could help

I must submit to

an operation. At my mother's request, I wrote to Mrs. Pink-

ham stating my case in every particular and received a prompt reply. I followed the advice given uie and now I suffer no more during menses. If anyone cares to know more about my case, I

will cheerfully answer all letters." Miss Kate Cook, 16 Ad

I am by occupation a school teacher, and for a long while suffered with painful menstruation and nervousness. I have receiv 1 more benefit from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable ComjK ' n from all remedies that I have ever tried."
