Coal Mining from River Bottom. With from fifty to sixty tons of coal being taken from the river at F.spy and Almedia every day the business of dredging for coal has become an important one and one which means much to the residents of those towns. Fourteen teams are regularly employed to haul the coal from the river bank to various industries, which use a large per centage of the coal in their fur naces. The beds of coal in the bottom of the river at Kspy and Almedia vary in thickness from six inches to three feet, and is easily gotten by means of the coal dredges which are owned by Dent & Sharpless, and by Mr. I luff man. The work is not confined to the coal dredges, but many individual families are securing enough for their own use by means of a row boat and rakes or by wading into the water and shoveling it from the bottom of the stream. One man has already secured twenty tons by this means. Swimming in Eden's Clothes Means Arrest. Now Chief of Police Baum hereby serves notice on all so inclined that bathing without tights will hereaf ter be tabooed and arrests will fol low every violator who is caught. Officers whose duty it will be to make arrests will be on the job and nothing will suit the general public better than to have a few boys aud men who seem to be altogether bereft of decency, placed under ar rest. Fassengers on the Danville trolley are compelled to witness the sight of men bathing without a semblance of covering, while it is not infrequent that young ladies passing along the back creek road are insulted by youths bathing "at the logs." The situation and common decency requires a little activity on the part of the police force. Get busy and make arrests, and plenty of them, if necessary. m Cleaning Silk Fabrics. "Silk of any kind or color may be cleaned in the following man ner," says Woman's Home Compan ion for July. "For every quart of water to be used in washing a dress, pare and grate one large potato. Put the grated potatoes into the water,' which must be cold andsoft; let stand two days without being disturbed in any way, then very carefully pour off the clear liquid from the sediment into a large, con venient vessel, into which dip the pieces of sijk up and down. "Of course, the silk must not be creased by wringing; let it hang and drip nearly dry, then lay it flat on the table, and wipe it first an one side and then on the other. If necessary to press it, do so between flannel with a moderate iron."

Dr. Robert MacDonald tells in the July Woman's Home Compan ion how the church is once more becoming active in the cure of hu man ills. Through the "Kmnian uel Movement," started at Etn manuel Episcopal Church in Boston and taken up by Doctor MacDonald in his own church in Brooklyn, the church is again saying, "Arise, take up thy bed and walk." "The complaint is going up from everywhere," says Doctor MacDon ald, "that the church is losing its hold on practical men and women. The reason is not that the church is not faithful to its duty, but that the world has increased its facilities to satisfy man But here is a new way of reaching the man of the world. His modern way of living, with all its hurry and worry, has gotten onto his nerves. He sleeps poorly, is depressed and melancholy, has nervous breakdowns, is dyspep tic and sluggish and miserable. The same man who will not listen to a purely spiritual appeal wants help, ami wants it bjdly. The church that can promise him health with which to do his work, wins him. His bodily pain is very real to him, for it is so much nearer than a cramped and dormant spirit of which he is not conscious "Where does the Emmanuel Movement differ from Christian Sci ence ? There can be said to be only one point of similarity. It is that both are desirous of getting rid of disease. But they do no sooner join issue than they disa gree. The point of separation is in what constitutes curable and in curable malady. The Kmnianuel Movement treats only 'functional disorders of the nervous system.' Christian Science does not distin guish between functional and or ganic diseases. Then, again, the Kmnianuel Movement works hand in hand with physicians, taking only such cases as they recommend, cases that are beyond the reach of drugs and the ordinary medical prescription."
