R. M. Rininger, clerk to the County
Commissioners, has completed a large

of taxables, the number of acres of
cleared and timber land, and the
amount at which all the real estate®and
personal property, and all matter and
things made taxable by the laws of
this Commonwealth were valued, and
the amount of taxes assessed thereon
for State-and County purposes, in the
several : assessment districts of the
county. These figures are taken from
the report: :
Nosof taxables, 17,742; acres of clear-
ed land, 289,644 ; acres of timber land
372,159; value of all real estate, $10.

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.—

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

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.

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?,”

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.

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.
An advance chapter from “Mineral
Resources of the United States, Cal-
endar Year 1906,” on the production of
coal in 1908, by E. W. Parker, will soon
be ready for distribution.
