Last year's output of coil was, the
greatest in the history of the United
States, amounting to 159.000,000 net
tons of soft coal and 46,800,000 tons
of anthracite. This places the United
States second in the coal producing
countries of the world.
It may not be generally known that
persons, who from carelessness, or any
other cause, take mail from the post
office that belongs to another, and
fails to return the same, are liable to
a fine of $5,000, or one year's im
prisonment. This applies to news
papers thus taken from a postofiice, as
well as other mail matter.
The rubber supply this year is
.mpie, says a well informed contem
porary, and this disproves the state
.tient that rubber is going to be high
in price presently. We can continue
for the present to indulge. in bicycle
tires and songs about rubber necks.
If the supply runs short we might
ring in some of the rubber necks.
Reports as read in the G. A. R.
encampment at Wilkes-Barre, last
week, give the information that nine
years ago the order numbered 409,
489, the high water mark. Last Sep
tember the order had (alien to 305,
601. The death rate in 1898 was
2.41 per cent. Nine years ago there
was 44,613 comrades in cood stand
ing m Pennsylvania, and this number
has decreased about is.oco since
then.
The latest postal laws are that
newspaper publishers can have ar
rested for fraud any one who takes a
paper and retuses to pay for it. Un
der the law the man who allows his
subscription to run along for some
time unplid, and then orders it dis
continued, or orders the postmaster to
mark it " refused and sends a postal
card notifying the publisher lays him
self liable to arrest and fine, the same j
as for theft.
It makes all the difference m the
world what kind of a burden a man
carries as to how he complains of t!:e
load, says an exchange. Twelve
pounds ot baby makes a man tired
unto death in less than two hours,
whereas 130 pounds of sweetheart
used to sit on the lap from 8 p. m.
to 12:30 a. m without a murmur from
the owner of the lap. Half a mile
to church is long walk, when a ten
mile tramp around a billiard table is
recreation.
Lying is of all mean trails of char
acter the most 'dispicable. This is
the crying sin of the age that men
do not value their worth. If a man
steals and is caught, the world brands
him as a thief and shuns him : he
can never outlive it, but if he lies,
though it may be proved, he is still
respectable, and if he profits by the
lie he is esteemed especially clever
and smart. But the thief is not near
so dangerous to society as the liar,
e can protect ourselves against
tnieves, we can guard our possessions,
but the liar can penetrate the strong
est fortress and blast the most prec
ious ot our possessions. He can go
into court and rob or murder at will
He can blast a lite or win a fortune,
and there is no redress.
" People would find less difficulty
with ready made shoes, said the ex
penenced salesman, " If they would
stand up to fit them on, instead of
sitting down. Nine persons out of
ten, particularly women, want a com
fortable chair while they are fitting a
shoe, and it is with the greatest diffi
culty you can get them to stand tor a
few minutes, even sitter the shoe is
fitted. Then, when they begin walk
ing about, they wonder why the shoes
are not so comfortable as they were
at first trial. A woman's loot is con
siaeraDiy smaller when she sits in a
chair than when she walks about. Ex
erase brings a larger quantity of
blood into the feet, and they swell ap
preciably. The muscles also require
certain space. In buying shoes this
fact should be borne in mind."

36th Amivorsary of the Death of General
Reynolds to be Fittingly Observed.
Thirty-six years ago on July 1st,
Maj. General John F. Reynolds fell
mortally wounded at Gettysburg gal
lantly leading his troops during the first
day of the battle that decided the
great civil war, and on the anniversary
this year a fine equestrian statue of
that noble officer will be ur.veiled with
appropriate ceremonies. The Statue,
a beautiful piece of work, somewhat
similar to those of Generals Meade
and Hancock, is situated on the battle
field about a quarter mile north of the
spot where General Reynolds was
wounded, and is the design and work
ot H. Iv. Rush-Brown. The statue
will be unveiled 2 p. m. July 1st by
Charles P. Renyolds, a grand nephew
of the famous General. General Gob
in will transfer the sjatue to the State,"
and it will be received by Governor
Stone. Colonel Huidekoper is to de
liver the oration.
To accommodate those desirous of
attending, the Philadelphia & Read
ing Railway has arranged to sell Ex
cursion Tickets at the special rate of
Single Fare for the Round Trip from
all principal stations in Pennsylvania.
Tickets on sale and good going June
30th and July 1st, and good going

This little book we dislike the term

butler, doorman and pace. -
Thus, for instance, the coachman
t.hould wear six buttons on his coat
two on the back nt waist nnd two at
the bottom of skirt, lie should also
have flaps on his pockets. Otherwise
he might be mistaken for the groom,
who has no flaps on his pockets nnd
has five buttons in front and six be
hind. These buttons should always
match the metal trimmings on the har
ness. Ardent ltrjanite will, of course,
use silver.
The hat must be silk. There is no
alternative. Slouch hats are no longer
worn by the coachmen of our more ex
clusive citizens, and the more fastid
ious Insist that the hat should be a new
one, not n cast-off dicer of the master.

Peronally Conducted Tours via Pennsylvania
Railroad.
As a mntter of fact, the members of
what is sometimes known ns the "Mil
lionaires' Club" are rather fond of buy
ing cheap business suits. One of them
told the writer thnt he bought his suits
of a concern in New York that manu
factured to order 00,000 of these suits a
year. The manufacturer said that be
made less than one dollar apiece on
them.

Fresh Deposits of the Preclona Metal
Found la Some Localities
Ever? Year.
There are localities where gold may
be said to grow every year, or, in other
words, where fresh deposits of the pre
cious metal ore to be found annually,
says Answers.
One such district is in the Edmonton
country in the Canadian northwest,
where, after the spring floods, from the
same banks and "benches" of the Sas
katchewan river, there are taken every
year considerable quantities of gold by
a few diggers, w ho make their living
out of the business.
But the must conspicuous and inter
esting case of this sort is to be seen
near Ichang, in the province of Ilupeh,
in I hina. i or many centuries past each
year gold has been wafched from the
banks of coarse gravel on both sides
of the Fdver Han, and in the midst of
the auriferous district there is an an
cient town called Likutien, which
means "Gold Diggers' Inn." Its in
habitants subdivide the frold-bearing
ground among themselves annually,
staking out their claims with parti
tions. They pay no rovaltv and ap
pear to earn no more than a bare sub
sistence, but this maj- be doubted, as
John Chinaman is an adept at "lnyin
low and sarin' nuflin.' "
The annual river floods'bring down
millions of tons of mud and sand from
the mountains and this mud nnd sand,
which is charged w ith gold, both "fine"
and in flakes, is deposited to a depth of
six inches or more on the banks of
gravel. It is in the winter that the
gold is washed, and it is said that seven
men work about 20 tons of the "pay
dirt" in a dav.
rate of three for u quar
ter. Green baize cloth nprons should
match your billiard table. Crest but
tons, worn by your servants, should be
ducal. There are several dukes In Eng
land, so tlicre may be a variety In the
device.
By paying attention to these details
and the advice ns toother matters given
by this pamphlet, you will be obliged j
to be more scrupulous as to your own
dress; for it is a sad sight when the
groom is mistaken for the master. j

as tne weather becomes warmer,
the shoes seem to grow tighter, but
here is a simple method of obtaining
relief. Where the presure of the shoe
seems greatest apply a cloth wrung
out of boiling water to it when on the
foot. This causes the shoe to stretch
and mould itself to the shape of the
foot, and after one or two applications
there will be no further trouble from
that shoe.

TRAVELS 45.000 MILES.
Insufficient PoitnR on a Package
the Cause of It Wearisome j
Journey.
In order finally to end its travels, the
post office department has decided to
deliver, free of charge, a packet of
maps that has already traversed over
45,000 miles, says the Washington Post.
The package was made up in Terth,
Australia, by employes of the Austral
Ian geological survey, and directed to
one of the professors of the University
of Minnesota. It wo then stamped
'official matter," nnd wrapped up with
other mail to be sent to this country.
Under the existing postal regulations
all transoceanic mail must bear prepaid
postage to the full amount required,
or double that sum must be paid by
the consignee.
So when the maps reached Minneap
olis the wrapper was almost hidden un
der due stamps and the professor re
fused to receive them. They were then
sent to Washington, where they were
redirected and shipped first to San
Francisco and thence to Terth. The
geological survey took up the matter
again, with a request written on the
wrapper that they be delivered,
whether the postage was paid or not.
and started the packet on its way from
The largest flag In the world has just
been completed, says Harper's Bazar.
It was planned by Miss Josephine Mul
ford, v, Madison, N. J. Miss Mulford
might not have become an expansionist
in the line of Hags had we not fought
with Spain. When the country went
to war, Miss Mulford's patriotism de
manded some expression und the larg
est flag in the world was none
too big for the purpose. This par
ticular star-spangled banner is 100 by
CJ feet. It is made of bunting manu
factured especially for it, and is sewed
with silk. The stars ore almost three
feet in diameter, nnd each one is em
broidered with the arms of the Btato
it represents nnd the date of its admis
sion to the union.
One interesting detail is that Miss
Mulford made several of the stars in
historic places. Sitting in John Han
cock's chair in Independence hall, she
partly made the l'ennsylvauia star,
which she finished in the house of lietsy
Koss, who made the first American flag.
Miss Mulford went to Washington's
headquarters at Morristown in order to
make there the Xew Jersey star. The
Maryland one was made nt Fort Mc
Ilenry, the Virginia one at Mount
Vernon, and the New York one partly
on board the flagship New York and
partly in Fraunce's tavern, where
Washington took leave of his officers
after the revolution. Un the halyard
canvas Miss Mulford has embroidered
a long dedication to the American army
