He Wm at lloae. When Mr. Felix Mahoncy was a spe cial pension examiner, ho had a bit of - an experience which desorvea a place .la the singular coincidence list. It hap pened np in Connecticut. Mr. Alahonoy and a temporary hireling of his were .drlTlug along a country road in a eloign, 'when iu a snow filled cut tho convey ance broke down. In the Hold beside Mho road Mr. Mahoney caught sight of .a tnaa'a bead. He lifted np hia voioe and called to the man.

This coal, .though of a low quality, aufflcea for the purposes of tbo gold minus, and thera ia a sufficient quantity of it to outlast far the lives of all the gold miners. Be sides these coal deposits near tho gold fields and thoso others by the Vaal riv er, wbich furnish ooal for the railway system far down into Cape Colony, i there are literally hundreds, perhaps aven a thousand, square miles of coal ia -the Middleberg and Ermelo districts ly ing between Pretoria and Delagba Bay. In the midii of theae coal beds is the outcrop of Iron ore, and running through them is the lately conatruotod railway to Delagoa Bay. With these vast coalfields close to a first rate port on the Indian ocean the prospects of the ooal mining industry seem brilliant. "South Africa Today," Younghusband. The Bicycle rtead. "Ono most obtrusive unpleasantness Jn tho conversation of the bicycle fiend, " '.observed anonbioycllst, "is his habit of personally appropriating every part and particle of bis machine. It is apparently sot enough that be should possess the bicycle in its entirety, but also in do tail. 'My wheel when tittered two or three times to every sentunce, is bad -bnougb, but when it comes to 'my sad die,' 'my tires,' 'my valves,' my han dle bar' and so forth, tho effect is both irritating and irrational. I once beard a man discourse for hours upon 'my in -ner tube.' Being then not so erudite upon tbo thing as I am now, I had the greatest difficulty in determining what he meant. From tho viewpoint of him who does not ride, the possessive case is -nowhere so overworked as in tho con versation of tho bioyole fiend." New York Sun. President Kroger oa Oo Sacking. A good story of President Eruger is told in an article on "Mining and Poli tics In the Transvaal, " in Tbo National Review. Some of the president's young relations applied to him for office. He considered awhile and said, "I can do uothing, for the high offices of the state we in firm bands and for little clerk ;ibips you are too stupid." Editing by tha Golden Rule. A oountry editor puts the old question ta new snape and says to his subscrib ers: "Brother, don't stop your paper ju6t because you don't agree with tbo editor. The last cabbage you eentua lidu't agree with us either, but we didn't drop you from our subscription list on that account" Gordon (Neb.) UournaL Thirty-four years ago a picturesque icene was enaoted in the Danish capital. A deputation of Greeks stood beforp tbe old king of Denmark and asked that: ihey might offer tha crown of their country to his-great nephew. Prince Keorge. For an answer tho old maa' iurned to the youth, bade him take a teat at his side and saluted bim as bis frother sovereign. bjs Z.lal.t Housekeeping." "Rooms to rent for light housekeep ing" is a rlgn that is steadily creeping into tbo windows of down at tbo heel mansions and into others which, though boaring a prosperous air, bouse occu pants who "have experienced reverses." Just whore tbo lino is drawn botwoest the light and heavy variety of this do mestic science it is difficult to deter mine, but it is conclusive proof that if yoa buy your pastry in bags at the bak ery; if, laoking a back door of your own at which to reooivo the morning milk man, you are obligod to lay in wait for that personage at corner, then you are a "light bousekooper" though perhaps your bnrdons are heavy. Wo are prouo to look upon these bumblo bousekoepors as boings without homo or oountry, booauso their foothold upon tho terra firm a of society is so light, but often tbero is much snugneas within the few rooms and much oul turo, too, though it is bard to ooncoiva of a culture that is nourished on bag lunches. If you will get up early enough some morning, you may see tho husband of one of these light bousokoopers, with bis paper and pitcher, just returning from a chilly enoounter with the milk man, and as he passes into his rooms you may catch a ray from tha smile which awaits blra, and which, unlike the house, belongs entirely to bim. Chicago Post Marriages In Bonthorn India. The inhabitants of southern India have peouliar marriage customs, accord ing to Dr. Boock, tbo German explorer. There aro always two marriago cere monies, he sayo, one taking place when the betrothed onos aro mere infants and tbo other whon the bridegroom takes bis wife to bis own homo. At the infant marriage rites two brotbors of the boy placo him on an olopbant and take him around to give bim a glimpse of the oity where bo and his bride are to live, and at the same time tho girl's mother is doing her share by singing to the little one a marriage eong. At tbe final marriage tho mother-in-law leads tbe young husband by tha Bote into a room, whore bis friends and relatives are awaiting bim, and, amid tbe loud noise of tamtams, tbe shrill whistle of pipes and tho roaring of trumpets, tbe bride enters, nnveiled. She gives tbe mon present an opportu nity to gaze at her, because in future no man but her husband may look at ber face. Should this rnlo bo broken at any time, ber husband must commit buI oido, and she must be burned ou a fu neral pyro boforo tbo sin is blotted out Tho brido is plaoed in a basket during tbo Brahman marriago ceremony, and whon it is over sho emerges veilod and closely guarded by ber husband and bis friends. Now York Tribune. Unfortunate Beginning. Sir William Rowan Hamilton, pro fessor of astronomy in tbo Dublin uni versity, used to speak with tbo strongest reverence of Bishop Brinkley, bia pred ecessor. Ho bad for bim a filial affea tion and used to reoall with a humorous melancholy tho time of their first meet ing, when, said he, "I am afraid I offended bim." I was a youth of 18 and eat next him at some public lunoheon. We did not speak, and I felt tbbt good manners re quired me to break the silence. My eye happened to rest on a large map of Van Diemen's Land banging on tbo wall. X turned to him. "My lord," said I, "were you ever in Botany Bay?" The bishop turned to mo with a look of severe displeasure. "Eat your soup, sir," said he, "eat your soup." And then it occurred to me that be thought I was asking whether be bad ever been "transport ed," for at that time Botany Bay was whero desperato criminals were sent for a punishment Youth's Companion. HU Only Love. A Horton spinster bas quite a ro mance connected with ber life. In ber younger days she bad a sweetheart and be asked ber to be bis wife, but aa she was too young to marry she refused bim. They separated and tbe years fled by, bringing with them muoh sorrow for the giddy miss. Ten years after ward, on the very day of the month on which sho refused bim, came a letter from the sweetheart of her childhood asking again for ber hand. She did not love him, but decided to never marry any one unless it be this man. She re fused again, and every year since then sho gets a letter on their anniversary with the samo old question written therein. Tho lettors are not full of love. Oh, no, simply a question, that is all a dozen words or more written in a businesslike way, with his name signed below. Perhaps they will get married eome day, but very likely not. Hor ton Headlight Mot Many Bluestocking. The latest census of Egypt shows that the country is about the only one in the world where tbe mon aro in a majority over the women. The male sex in the kbediTo's dominions exceeds the female by 100,000, and it is curious to note that this numerical predominance of the male is very evenly spread over both upper and lower Egypt. It is only in the sparsely peopled and newly recov ered province of Dongola that tbe worn I en are, more numerous than the men. Auother interesting faot Is that tbe pro portion of Egyptian women knowing bow to read end write is just a littlo over one half per cent- New Orleans Picayune. Oat of Sight of Land.

Thl Snoring While Mama TroU Are-attd With Uafar at Midnight. The lord of the manor slept al though tbe baby had the colic and was la nowise disposed to suffer in Hence. "Wan oop oo oo wahl" wailed the Infant Distracted at tho child's dis tress the mothe. rushed wildly to the cradle. "Uush-a-bye, bush-a-bye' cooed ahe "Or r r alas pool" snored the lord of the manor. The woman made tea quick lap around the room, danced the Bufferin-r babe vigorously and performed a great variety of exhaustive antics popularly supposed to raakr young children for get their troubles. "Woopl" yelled the little one. "llush-a.bye baby oa tho tree ." "Gr-r-r-oo-alas-poor The lord of the manor slept One by one the sands of time flowed through the hour glass. Minutes grow into hours. Just as the rising sun was coloring the eastern horizon with n delicate glow the baby fell asleep. With a smile of tender radlanco tho mother placed her darling In tho cradle and imprinting a soft kiss upon ita brow turned to her own couch. The lord of the manor stirred and opened hia eyes. "Can I help you, Maria?" he feebly asked, with a yawn. Tho wife and mother sighed. "No, John," she wearily rejoined. They slept "1 shouldn't be surprised ." It waa the lord of the manor talking to a friend next day. "If I look mighty haggard. This being up nights " He gaped prodigiously. "With the baby la mighty woarlng on a man." The lord of tho manor looked decidedly dissatisfied with life. TABLK TURNINQ IN CHINA. How the Almond-Eyed Medium Couduols a Celestial Seanre. As things go by contraries in China, we find tho phenomenon of table turn ing is reversed; In other words Chinoae tables, Instead of turning on their lugs whirl around on their heads with tha-lr legs pointing to tho ceiling. Tho di rections usually given are to place a couplo of chop stloks at right angles across a mortar or bowl filled with water, and upon these the table Is turned upside down. Four children are then railed in. and to each la assigned a leg, on which one hand is gently laid, while the other seizes the free hand of a companion. The medium then reads an In-auUtlon and soon the table begin to heave with emotion and at last rcvolrci, uas rying the lads along with Increased velocity, until the table is whirled on its axis. The Chinese lire said to tm pltcity believe thut table turning Is the work of devils or spirits, yet it is never performed save for the sport It yields, nor do they ever attempt to hold communion with the spirit world by this means. A DEVOTEE OF MORPHEUS. The Dufeo or Devonshire Steeps In tile House of Lords. It is said the Duke of Devonshire goes to sleep In the house of lords. What else is he to do should that au gust house sit lute, aa it does three or four times a year? Besides, it is the custom to go to sleep in prliaincnt when you have a mind to. Tho rule forbid the perusal of u newspaper, a magazine or a book. If a peer or a member of the common, desires to read he must go to tho reading-room or tho library. Therefore, when a bore Is on his legs about 10 or 11 o'clock, and his dif fuse and uninteresting commonplaces arc running out in turgid verbosity, i what better thing can a statesman do than go to sleep? When la the lower house as Lord Uartlngton the duke was a confirmed, sleeper, with his leg against the clerk's table, his hat tilted down over hia eyes, his raquth open and arms, folded, or balancing his body upon the seat At times his lordship was guilty of an approach to snoring. People who go to bed about :i a.- 4 In the morning must take their sleep tome where. A Gigantic Uoddes of War. In the Japanese capital there Is a gigantic Image of a woman male of wood, iron and plaster. The time of Ita erection and thenams of its design er are in dispute, but it is known to have been dedicated to ilachiman, the god of war. In height it measures M feet, and the head alone, will h It reached by a winding stairway In the interior of the llirure. beiucr canabln of holding a company of 20 pera'on. Tho" gouaesa noias a awora in ner right hand and a huge painted wooden ball In the left Internally the statue Is the finest anatoml al model li exist ence, every bone, joint and ligament being represented on a gigantic s:ale In proportion to the height and gener al size of the huge figure itself. The large eyes aro magnifying glasses, through which a fine view of the sur rounding country may be had. Origin of Dnnnlng. During the reign of Henry VII. there llvnd in Lincoln, England, a famous bailiff named Joe Dunn. Joseph was very clever ia the management of his business, and so dexterouB in annoy Ing those who lefused the payment of an account with which he had been In trusted that "to set Dunn on him," or "to Dunn him," became common ad vice to the owner of a bad debt To this personage we owe what to not a few people is one of the most disagree abla words in the language. Her Day Would Come. We are all prone to retaliate for per sonal alights, but perhaps the funniest incident of it Is one of an old Irish woman, who, seeing a funeral to which she bad expected an Invitation pass ber door, expostulated angrily: "Ob, go on wld ye! go on wld yel go an wld yel But maybe there'll be a fuaeral at our bouse nooa, sad tbta we'll see who'll be axe-ir How General Joe Wheeler Waa Captured. General Wheeler bad a most exciting lervico throughout tho war. Ho hat told mo bow bis horsoa wero shot under bim again and again and bow ho csoaped Without injury, although bo always rodo at tbe head of bis troops. Of all tho commaudora under Joffornon Davis bo stuck closest to bim. Ho wna with Davis when the cabinet moved from Richmond to Cokesborough, N. C, and bo then bad eight brigades of cavalry. Ho told Davis that tbe soldiers consid ered tbo war was over and that ho had trouble in holding his troops together. Duvis did not agree with bim, nnd he ordered 10,000 horseshoes sent there to equip bis troops for flight through the south. A short time later, however, when be got ready to fly, Wheolor was about the only commander who could get soldiers to go with bim, nnd it was littlo Gen eral Joe who followed tho Confederate president with a troop of BOO men. Davis aud bis oobinet soon saw, bow ever, that their hope was a forlorn one, and they sent ordors to Wheeler to dis band bis troops and take care of himself. This Wbeeler did and a short tiroo later was captured by tbe Union troops and was sent with Jefferson Davis north to prison. Alexander Stephens and Post master Geuoral Roagan were taken with bim, and on tho way north General Wboelor says that Stephens thought he was going to sure death. He said aa much to General Wbeeler, and the gen eral replied, "Well, Mr. Stephens, if this is to be your fate, what must be that of President Davis?" Alexander Stephens raised his hands and replied: "Ob, don't speak of that I Hia fate Is too horriblo to consider." General Wheolor said ho bad no idea he would bo killed, and tho way ho joked about tbo matter of their joint imprisonment horrified Alexander Stephens. St Louis Republic, Washington Widow. I like gratitude I like to bear of grateful people, and an anecdote I beard recently of ono Washington man has pleased mo immensely. Ho has recently married tbo widow of a very woaltby gentleman, and on the proceeds of the transaction be bas built a handsome house. Whon tho house was finished and the moving into It was accomplish ed, the wife and ber mother fell to dis cussing just whore tboy should bang the portrait of tho former husband. They bad just deoided to bang It in a small room on tho second floor when tbe new husband canio in and beard of tbe mat ter. "Hang bim up stairs I" ho said. "No, Biree. No, sirco. That man was my benefactor. I owe everything I bavo to bim. He shall bang in tbo placo of honor." And husband No. 1 now smiles down from over the mantel in tho drawing room. But that makes me think of another Washington widow who has recently bestowed herself nnd ber belongings on a second husband. ''It's bo fortunate," said eho to me. "My first husband's last namo began with a W, you know, and bo does my second husband's first name. All Mr. W.'s handkerchiefs are just the thing for Willie, and I haven't even had to bavo tho initial on them changed." Washington Post. A gee of the World's Charmers. Miss Browning dilates on a most consolatory fact Tbe women wbo influ enced tbe destinies of nations wero none of them "actually young." Well, what does Miss Browning call "actually young?" Nineteen ia not old, and sha who saved France from returning mem bers to a British parliament was 10 at ber death. There is a tendency in tbe male sex to liko them young. Helen of Troy was, it is calculated, about 120, but sho was tbe daughter of a god. Cleopatra is put by Miss Browning at about SO when Antony reckoned tho world well lost for her. In any caso ber medals make her a plain woman, with a very long nose. Mary Stuart bad turned things upsido down before she was 86, and Diane de Poitiers was 43 and Mine. Scnrron 45 before they cap tured royal lovers. These veteran charm ers bad health and intelligence, but Lady Hamilton was fat. as well as 40, when she fascinated Nelson. London News. Cod an Aih Wednesday. Once a year, on Aeh Wednesday, the .-.nglicaus of all tho middle class eat alt fish, and this salt fish is always ood. Shrove Tuesday is a kind of Lon don fish shop festival, in wbich the whole of the "decoration" is Bait cod and half lemons. The cod aro salted in the shops, being split and very lightly but sufficiently salted, with a view to imparting flavor rather than to preserv ing tbe fish. They are then rolled loose ly and elegantly and a lemon laid npon each. The origin of the lomon is diffi cult to trace. Egg sauce, and not lem ons, is tbe traditional "relish" with salt cod, tbe eggs being also a survival of tbe old Lenten list of fore. Possibly tbe lemons were originally part of the surplus stock laid in for tbe previous feast of pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Cornbill Magazine. The Barly Piano. The earliest known mention of the pianoforto was in a playbill dated May 16, 1707. Tho piece announced was "Tbo Beggar's Opera, "with Mr. Beard as Captain Muchcath, Mrs. Stephens as Mrs. Peachum, Mr. Shuteras Peacbum. The principal attraction was given us, "Miss Buckler will sing a song from 'Judith accompanied by a new instru ment called pianoforto. " Pittsburg Dispatch.
