Many different theories are held by
geologists to account for the formation
of hods of coal between strata of rock.
The simplest of them is that vast
manses of wood, such ns grew in the
carboniferous age of the earth’s de
velopment, were sunk under the sea,
that deposits of silt upon them changed
to rock nml that by some upheaval of
Hu* earth the bottom of tin* sea was
lifted above sen level. Such unhenvnl
Occurred in remote geologic ag- s In the
Mississippi valley, all the central parts
of which were undoubtedly at out*
time covered with water ami formed
an arm of the sen. The one thing cer
tain about coal Is that by one process
of nature nr another It has been con
verted from the giant trees which grew
lu the carboniferous age of geology.
How many thousands or millions of
years that was nobody knows. All
that Is known about the duration of
different geologic ages of the world is
that they were long.

Sir Henry Irving was accustomed to
visit at the holm* of Miss Frlswoll, an-
tlior of "III the Sixties and Seventies,"
In which volume appcni'M the following
anecdote: “My mother often used to
point out lltlle details that had been
overlooked. I remember one In ‘The
Bells,* wlilrh my mother told Mr. Ir
ving on the (Irst night when lie re
lumed to our house In supper. People
who have seen tin* play may remember
that the Hist seem* Is a small Inn and
that there Is supposed to have been a
tleep fall of snow. The innkeeper. Mat
thias (Irving), walked In on that lirst
night In ordinary black hoots, with no
snow upon them. My mother spoke of
It. and afterward Matthias wore high >
black hoots and stiHid on tin* mat while
the snow was brushed off. Remarks
were made In the papers as to Mr. Ir
ving's attention to the minutest details,
and this was cited as an Instance."

The following extracts from early
records give us a glimpse of some of
the singular punishments In vogue In
old New England:
"In 10311 Dorothy Brown, for lientlng
her husband. Is ordered to tie hound
and chained to a post.”
"In 1043 the assistants order three
Htonehatn men to sit in tin* stocks on
lecture day for traveling on the Hale
hath.”
"In 1051 Amin, wife of George Ellis,
was sentenced to 1h* publicly whipped
for reproaching the magistrates.”
"In 1058, for slandering the elders,
sin* had a deft stick put on tier tongue
for half an hour.”
An Oilil Mention.
It seems doubtful If there Is anything
more crooked than the following title
of a pamphlet published lu 1703: “The
Deformity of Sin Cured; a Herman
Preached at St. Michael's, Crooked
Lane. Before the Prince of Orange, by
the Bev. J. Crookshanks." The pam
phlet was sold by Matthew Denton at
the Crooked Billet near Cripple gate.
The words of the text are, "Every
crocked path shall he made straight,”
and the prince liefore whom It was
read was deformed.

The only real linen paper made In the
United States Is that used for govern
ment documents. All tin* so called lin
en papers arc largely made from cot
ton rags with some linen mixed lu.
The reason for this Is that It Is ex
tremely ditlleult to separate cotton and
linen rags. The government gets
around this difficulty lij using nothing
hut dippings from collars nml shirts.

iMHtlTU, Hi '
HAVE VOU SEEN OUR SMART OUTING’SUITS?
If not, do so at once. They just “fill the bill” for hot
weather wear, as they are exceptionally smart-looking, cool,
easv-feeling, such as you will want to wear most of the time
troin now until the first of October. In outing suits at ¥10,
¥12.50, ¥15 and upwards we* offer values that can’t be
matched. 1 lie fabrics are th|n flannels, worsteds and blue
serges of tested quality and hand tailored throughout. But
come and see for yourself the line workmanship and the ex
cellent materials in these suj|s.
Do you need an extra pail- of trousers to go with that
suit you bought earb. in the spring? Our line is the best
we have e\,*r had. We carry all colors and prices.
