INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
At the Baldwin Locomotive works all
hands have been put on full time. This
gratifying condition of affairs has not ex
isted at the big locomotive works for a
considerable period,
Tho Michigan house of representatives
has agreed to tho Dovovan bill requiring
all railroads In Michigan to sell Inter
changeable mllenge tickets good over ev
ery road In the state and also good to be
used by any member of the purchaser's
family.
Vice President Hartshorne, of the Le
high Yalley, snys; "The general business
on our line Is doing very well and Is con
siderably In advance of last year. The
only drawback Is that coal Is selling too
cheap. Freight and passenger business
has very much Improved."
Several hundred hands employed In the
Lukens iron works at Coatesville, Pn.,
have been notllied that on May 27 their
wages will be Increased 10 per cent. This
affects all tho men In tho mill. All Jie
Iron works of Coatesville are very busy
now, and are working extra time.
The I'nltcd States geological survey has
Issued a report on the production of coal
in 1SH. The total product was 170.853.OS5
short tons of 2,000 pounds valued at $186.
151,601, a decrease for tho year of 11,499,639
short tons, or more than 6 per cent., and a
decrease of $22,281,092 In value. A decline
In prices Is shown In almost every state,
the general average for all coals declining
from $1.14 to $1.09 a ton during tho year.
In Pennsylvania the product of anthracite
decreased almost 2,000,000 tons. The out
put of bituminous coal In that state was
20,912,463 tons, vulued at $29,179,820.
Kx-C'bief Justice Edward M. Paxson,
one of the Reading receivers, when asked
about the New York story of a new coal
trade combination, stated that he had no
knowledge of tho formation of such a
combination. "A great deal of Reading
stock has been bought up lately," he said,
"and no one seems to know for whom it
has been purchased. That Is tho only cir
cumstance that I know of that I could as
sociate with sueh a scheme. But If any
nymllcate has secured control of the road
which will be willing to expend the $25,
000,000 necessary to put It on a firm basis
we will be very glad Indeed to see such a
desirable end accomplished."
The agreement for April cnlled for a
production last month of 2,500.000 tons.
Notwithstanding this, actual production
last month was 3,139,122 tons, or 639,122 tons
more than agreed upon, and 339,814 tons In
excess of production in the same month
last year. The Lehigh region seemed to be
the only one which restricted the out
put, as Its Increase over April, 1891, was
only 7,582 tons, while the Wyoming In
crease was 162,181, and the Schuylkill 170,
018 tons. Appended table shows shipments

April shipments bring tho total for
the year to the end of that month up to
13,108,316 tons, an Increase over the same
period last year of 2,711,416 tons. The nver
age monthly production was, therefore,
3,277,079 tons, equnl to 39.324,918 tons for the
year an averago which, It is expected,
will be Increased instead of decreased. The
Wyoming region leads In Increased pro
duction so far with 1,548,940 tons, followed
by the Schuylkill region, which for the
four months shows an Increase of 910,848
tons. Shipments from the Lehigh region
Increased only 250,027 tons. A striking fea
ture Is that, despite the largo output, the
stock of coal at tidewater shipping points
has steadily decreased; on March 31 It was
893,922 tons; on April 80 It had been re
duced 76,592 tons to a total of 817.330 tons.

HISTORY OF FORKS.
They ilavo llccn in I so Since the Dawn
of .Manners.
Forks were employed on the continent In
the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries;
In Venice they were used, but more for
show than on account of the actual ser
vice they wero to perform. They were) not
brought Into England until after tho
reign of Queen Elizabeth, and that gentle
monarch, like her contemporaries, com
monly ate with her lingers. In this she
followed the practice all over Europe back
to the earliest times.
The Romans and Greeks ate with their
fingers, and one writer of the former na
tion gives a comical story of a glutton of
his day, who, when lie went to a feast
always wore gloves, that he might have
tho Hint chance at the meat before It was
cool enough for the other guests to touch
It with their bare 'lingers. Two-pronged
forks were maile'at Sheltleld In 1608. Three
ipronged forks) were manufactured In
England and on tho Continent In 1750, and
silver forks did not come, either in Eng
land or In France, until 1814. A bronzo
fork was picked up at Kouyunjik, in As
syria, In 1873; it was believed to date from
110(1 or 1200 B. C. A flesh-hook of three
teeth Is mentioned in the Bible, I Samuel,
xl, 13, about 1165 U. C but this was not a
fork In our sense of the word, but a hook
used to draw the boiled meat from the
pot. '

physicians would ncnuaiut themselves
with this method of treating disease,
their astonishment at the number of
so-called Incurable diseases, that would

thorough application, would be over
whelming. In like manner would
the profession be astounded by the
wonuertui cures they could speedily
perforin with magnetic treatment,
which has recently been culled Hyp
notic Suggestion. Every physician
has not the physical strength to em
ploy this iniuhtv cower, but every
physiciun should acquaint himself
wnn id. it is a power more potent
than nil drugs and medicines ever pre
