Some Superstitions. True, no man has ever stepped from the senate chamber to the presidential chair; true, also, that Pennsylvania has never had the Republican presidentinl nomination. But neither fact consti- tutes any superstitious hoodoo against a senator or a Pensylvanian, especially when this state presents a candidate of the strength of the Hon. Philander C. Knox, of Fayette and Allegheny coun- ties. Pennsylvania can stand up in the national convention next year and say to all the other states of the Union: Match him if you can. It is a good thing sometimes to break precedents. No man elected vice pres- ident was ever afterwards elected pres- ident until Theodore Roosevelt de- molished whatever superstition lurked about that fact. And it was a good thing for the country that that particu- lar hoodoo was thus demolished. Next year will be a good time to set aside the superstition that neither Pennsylvanians nor United States sen- ators are eligible to be president.— Uniontown’ News Standard. ee Let Your Wife Read this and Take the Hint. Certainly a wife should work. Here's some free advice to the inexperienced and unsophisticated: Ever since Eve inveigled Adam into eating that Ben Davis apple, her daughters have been doomed to toil. But some men are un- reasonable about a wife’s work. They want her to chop all the wood, when they could save her a lot of labor by in Somerset township puts that town- | buying a eharp saw. 8he can be easily taught to file the saw and keep it in order. We know a man who makes his wife get up and curry the mules be- fore breakfast. This is wrong. She should get breakfast first, as she is not so apt to shed mule hair in the butter. Horse hair is _bad enough, but. male hair in the butter is an abomination. There is a great deal in properly train- ing a.wife. She should be taught to mix her bread with a paddle. If she uses her hands it is apt to make them tender and incapacitate her to some extent from using the brush scythe ef- fectively. She should also be taught to split her kindling and get it in at night, especially in the winter. . If she has to wade through the snow in the early morning after kindling, it is apt to make her oross all day.—Ex. HOW TO CURE A OOLD. The question of how to cure a cold without unnecessary loss of time is one in which we are all more or less inter- ested, for the quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less the danger of pneumonia and other serious diseases. Mr. B. W. L. Hall, of Waverly, Va., has used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for years and says: “I flrmly believe Chamberlain’s ' Cough Remedy to be absolutely the best preparation on the market for colds. I have recommend- ed it to my friends and they all agree with me.” For sale at Miller's Drug Store. 11-1 eee THE WORLD’S PRODUCTION OF COAL. The world’s production of coal in 1906 amounted to about 1,108,478,707 short tons, of which the United States produced 414,157,278 tons. Since 1868, during a period of 39 years, the percentage of the world’s total coal produced by the United States has increased from 14.32 to 37, and this country now stands far in the lead of the world’s coal producers. It has been only 8 years since the United States supplanted Great Britain as the leading coal producer, yet the increase in this country has been so enormous that Great Britain can no longer be classed as a competitor. In 1906 the United States produced 43.7 per cent. more coal than Great Britain and 85 per cent. more than Germany. Ex- clusive of Great Britain the United States in 1908 produced more coal than all the other countries of the- world combined. It may also be noted that more than 96 per cent. of the world’s production of coal is mined in countries lying north of the equator, the countries south of the line contributing less than 20,000,000 tons annually. Detailed statistics of the world’s pro- duction, by counties, are incorporated in an advance chapter from ‘Mineral Resources of the United States, Cal- endar Year 1908,” on the production of coal in 1906, by E. W. Parker, Chief Statistician of the United States Geo- logical Survey, which will soon be ready for distribution. PE ee The Disadvantage of Poor Hearing. A deaf old gentleman dined with a family where grace was always said. When the guests were seated the host bowed his head and began to .repeat the accustomed verse in a subdued, reverent tone. “Eh? What’s that?” demanded the deaf old gentle who sat beside him. The host smiled patiently and began again, in a louder, more deprecatory voice. “Speak a little louder, I don’t catch what you'say,” the old gentleman per- sisted. A low ripple of laughter went round the table. The host, his face crimson with embarrassment, raised his voice and repeated the verse. The deaf old gentleman did his best to hear, but failed. He placed his hand -upon his host’s arm. “What did you say?” irascibly. “D n it, I'm saying grac?,” snapped. —Ex. he demanded he Winter Wheat Varieties. As a result of continued experiments with wheat, the Pennsylvania Experi- ment, Station says: 1. There is no relation between straw yield and grain yield in wheat. 2. No single variety of wheat can be pointed out as the best. The best variety of one season may be among the poorest of another, and vice versa. 3. Long year averages seem best for determining variety qualities. Taking yield as a basis, the best five varieties for conditions as they exist at the Station farm are: Fulcaster, China, Royal Red Clawson, Reliable, and Dawson’s Golden Chaff. 4. The yield of wheat in Pennsyl- vania is too low. Good varieties and attention to the management of the culture of the crop will greatly aid in securing more wheat and greater profits. 5. No specific date for sowing wheat can be given. Too early or too late sowing should not be practiced. There is a rather long intermediate season during which wheat may be sown with likelihood of good results. ea ar All kinds of Legal and Commercial Blanks, Judgment Notes, ete., for sale at Tug Star office. tf KINDS OF COAL PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES. The coal produced in the United States is reported to the United States Geological Survey as consisting of two classes—anthracite and bituminous. The bituminous product includes coal that may be classed as semi-anthracite, semi-bituminous, cannel, block, splint, and lignite or sub-bituminous. In addition to the anthracite pro- duced in Pennsylvania, 50408 short tons were mined in. Colorado in 1905, and 60,248 tons in 1906. New Mexico produced 24,415 short tons of anthra- cite in 1905, but reported none in 1908. " Semi-anthracite was reported from Pennsylvania. Colorado, Indian Ter- ritory, Virginia, Montana and Arkans- as. Bituminous coal was produced in 27 states and territories in 1905, and in 24 in 19068, and forms by far the largest part of the total production. Semi-bituminous coal is mined in 17 states and territories, with West Virginia first, followed in order by ‘Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois, Vir- ginia and Montana. Wyoming leads in the production of lignite or sub-bituminous coals, over 70 per cent. of the production of the state being so classed. The so-called black lignites of the Rocky Mountain states are entirely distinct from the real lignites, or brown coals. They sre not lignites in chemical composition, in color, or in physical characteristics, and as they lie between the lignites, or brown coals, and the true bituminous ~ coals, the term sub-bituminous has been adopted by the United States Ge- ological Survey to designate them. In the production of this variety of coal, Wyoming leads, Colorado is second, and New Mexico is third. A part of the product of California and Oregon should also be included under this head. The principal producers of true lig- nite, or brown coal, are Texas and North Dakota. The comparatively small production of cannel coal was obtained from 9 states in 1905, and 7 in 1906, of which Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia are the principal ones. West Virginia is also credited with nearly all the splint coal production, while Indiana is the leading producer of block coal.
