Wly Coal Should be Kept Under Cover. A German has made experiments to ascertain the amount of loss that coal undergoes when exposed to the weather. It will perhaps surprise many readers to hear that the loss is considerable. An thracite and cannel coal, as might be anticipated from their compactness, suffer least; but ordinary bituminous coal loses neany one-third in weight and nearly one-half in gas-making quality. From this it will be understood that coal Should be kept dry and under cover, and ■fiat to expose it to rain or damp is to R>sen its quantity and weaken its Kuality. Here, too, we have an ex planation of the inferiority of the great ■heaps of small coal which encumber the ■ground in the mining districts. —London I Herald of Health.

What His Fadder ISIJ. A few days ago I left tho office a little earlier than usual and attended a base bail game. By my side sat an inim itable specimen of the gonna known as tho “small bov.” The following is a part of tho fusillado ho directed at a meek companion: “Hey, Jimmy, I bet dat feller strikes out; beteher ti’ penoe! Oh (in a tone of deep disgust) ye’re no good—whatcher ’/raid of —a nickel’ Here’s one strike now—two strikes—sav, wot does yer fadder do? li-u-h! told yer dat do foller’d get to first. Gosh —dat lirst base’s n. g.; let a feller get seeon’ on his muff! Who’s dat cotcliin’ —Sweeny? Ah—he’s a slouch at dat? Jimmy, knew dat bloke’d get out on third—naw—do empire says ‘not out’— what’d I tell yer? Can’t teach yer fadder how to play ball. Uat's a daisy empire!

Pooh, de fel ler’ll get in—well dat innings done and nary a run. Say, Jimmy, what does yer fadder do?

Sav, Jimmy, giv’ us yer flipper; de ol’ mans a daisy, I tell yer.” The Power of Language. “And so Tom has got home from college, Mr. Bigboe? I understand he is quite a linguist?” “He’s tho boss linguist,” remarked old Bigboe, but not proudly; “he lingers down town till two o’clock in the morn ing, and lie lingers in bed till noon, and he lingers at the table] long after everyone else has gone away foundered, and there’s going to be a reform in this linguist business or you’ll hear of a case of felo-de-se in this family by wear ing of a young man out with a hickory gad,” and the old man looked resolute, then melted into thoughtfulness, and said that was tho first Greek he had used in thirty years, since ho clerked in a drug store and studied the old masters on the bottles and inra. — Tinnlctte. “ Don t Murry Him!” “He is such a fickle, inconstant fellow, you will never be happy with him,” said Esther’s friends when they learned of her engagement to a young man who bore the reputation of be ing a flirt. Esther, however, knew that her lover had good qualities, and she was willing to take the risk. In nine cases out of ten it, would have proved a mistake; but Esther was nn uncommon girl and to every one’s surprise Fred made a model husband. How was it; Well, Esther had a cheerful, sunny temper and a great deal of tact. Then slio enjoyed perfect health and was always so sweet, neat and wholesome that Fred found his own home meet pleasant, and his own wife more agreea ble than any other being. As the year passed and he saw other women-of Esther’s age grow sickly, faded and querulous, he realized more and more that ho had “a jewel of a wife.” Good health was half the secret of Esther’s success. She retained her vitality and good looks, because she warded off feminine weak nesses and ailments by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
