covered thick beds of coal there and at
Hear Island. His trip lasted only six weeks,
but it was long enoueh for Cremer to ascer-
tain that coal mining is quite possible there,
although perhaps, owing to the climate, not
always in a regular manner.. The thickest
beds of coal aro on the oast coast of
Bear Island, and are about 500 feet thick.
Along the Spitzbergon coast coal was found
in layers about a yard and a half thick.

Well-informed lumbermen declare that
there is more timber in the forests of Maine
to -day than there was ten years ago because
care has been exercised in the felling of trees
during recent years. Only good-sized trees
are cut nowadays, the smaller being allowed
to stand until they attain a proper growth.
\, A great amount of pulp wood is cut on
?second growth tracts, but in lumber opera-
ttions no small trees are felled There's less
instruction by fire now than formerly.

Tirspeople of Great Britain consume
about five times as much tea per head as do
the inliizbitants of this country, and the
consttmptb n there is steadily increasing
every year. In 1839 the consumption in
Great Britain per head was 499 pounds ; in
1890, 31S Tlhunds, and last year it was 535
pounds. A^,nericans only consume about
one and a quarter pounds of tea per head
yearly. But we use from seven to nine
pounds of coffee per head to make up for it.
A society has been formed in Paris to
oppose immoral ad vertisement in the streets.
Its members are prominent Hien like M.
Jules Simon, M. Frederick Passy, and
Senator Beranger. The President at the
first meeting said that the movement was
not of -a. religions character. The members
of the society are neither Protestants nor
Catholics in the work. "If religious an
nouncements are not to be tolerated in
the streets," he said, " we do not intend to
permit the cult of Venus to predominate
there."
In Danzig two weeks ago the shopkeeper
Gode, from Pasewalde, was sentenced to
sight days' imprisonment for frightening
his mother-in-law, Frau Weiss, with a tele-
gram. Gode owed Frau Weiss money and
$he provoked him by writing for • it. She
had once warned him never to send her a
telegram, as she "was so nervous that it
would kill he." Immediately after receiving
the dun from her, Gode telegraphed back :
"My wife is dead." Frau Weiss fainted
and was ill for a week before she learned
that Frau Gode, was well, and that Gode had
pent the telegram out of malice. Then she
had him arrested and punished.

Mothers As Match -Makers.,
There is a kind of match -making which it
is a mother's duty to attempt. But it has
strict limitations. It resolves itself into the
simple duty of introducing to her daughter
young men whose moral character is good,
who are in a position to marry, and who,
physically, are not likely to repel her. The
young people may then safely be left to
their own instincts. There should be no
attempt to coerce ; moral force used to
make even a suitable marriage ; though ex-
tremities may lawfully be used to prevent
an evil marriage. A mother's match -mak-
ing really begins while her daughters edu-
cation is in progress. And it is .one of the
strangest of facts that mothers generally
force this education in the direction of those
qualities likely to amuse young men—music,
dancing, singing, dressing, playing games,
chaffing wittily, etc. Now, such attrac-
tions are likely to procure plenty of flirta-
tion ; but young men rarely marry the
girls they flirt with. And why do not
mothers consider, most of all, that approach-
ing period in their daughters' lives when
they will, or ought to, cease being made
love to? Why should the preparation for
young ladyhood absorb all the girl's educa-
tion? How many curriculums contain any
arrangement for education for wifehood or
parenthood? Yet, what man wishes to pass
his life with a woman whose only charm is
the power to amuse him? He might as
wisely dine every day upon candy sugar.
The Oarelessest of Creatures.
He came home last night a bit tired from
a busy day's work and his wife waited until
ho had got off his overcoat and sat down.
" Did you got that piece of silk I asked
yon to bring up to -night?" she inquired,
seeing that he had not laid it before her.
"I es, dear, I left it out there in the
hall."
"Did you get the pins?"
,
t
Yesdear."
,
"And the ribbon?"
" Yes."
"And Bobbie's shoes?"
" Yes."
"And a wisp broom?"
iOYes."
"And a wick for the kitchen lamp?'
f0 Yes."
And some matobes ?"
" Yes, they are with the other bundles."
"And did you see the man about the
coal."
r' Yes ; it will be upon Monday."
"And the man to fx the grate in the din-
ing -room ?"
u Yes ; he's coming as soon as he can."
"Did you see Mrs. Smith about the sew-
ing society meeting?"
"She said she'd conte."
" And—and—oh, yes ; did you get a new
shovel for the kitchen stove?"
r` N—n--no," ho hesitated. "I forgot
it."
" Good gracious!" she exclaimed. "What
did you do that for? You know we needed
that shovel and I told you about it the very
first thing when you went down town this
morning. 1 do think you tneu are the most
forgetful and carelessest creatures that ever
lived." And she flopped out to see about
supper.
Graveyard Poetry.
Nine -tenths of those who think they can
write respectable poetry are mistaken,
writes T. De Witt Talmage in the February
LADIES' Homme JOURNAL. It is safe to say
that most of the home-made poetry of grave,
yards is an offence to God an man. One
would have thought that tho New Hamp-
shire village would have risen in mob to
preven tthe inscription that was really placed
on one of its tombstones descriptive of a
man who had lost his life at the foot of a
vicious mare on the way to the Brook ;
"As this man was leading her to drink
She kick'd and kill'd him quicker'n a wink.'
One would have thought that even con
servative New Jersey tvonld have been in
rebellion at a child's epitaph which reads
thus:
"She was not smart, she was not fair,
But hearts with grief for her aro swollin°;
All empty stands her little chair:
She died of eatin' watermelon."
Let not such desecration be allowed in
hallowed places. Let not poetizers practice
on the tombstone. My uniform advice to
all those who want acceptable and suggest-
ive epitaphs is : Take a passage of Scrip-
ture. That will never wear out. From
generation to generation is will bring down
npon all visitors a holy hush ; and if before
that stone has crumbled the day come for
wak ing up of all the graveyard sleepers, the
very words chiseled on the marble may be
the ones that shall ring from the trumpet
of the archangel on that day when the sec-
rets of all hearts shall be disclosed.
Buried Alive.
A teleg ram to Dalziel's agency from Pari
states that the Petit Parisien hears from
Rouen of a most extraordinary occurrence
at the village of Notre Daine de Boudeville,
where a man named Tougard has been buried
alive. For a long time past Tougard had
suffered from paralysis, and on Monday
morning he was believed to have died. The
doctor who was sent for, after examining
him, gave a certificate of death. The burial
took place on the following day. Whilst
the grave was being filled up the gravedigger
thought he heard some groans,and imforined
one of the municipal council, who, in pres-
ence of more than 50 people, had the earth
thrown out again. The coffin was found to
to be broken open, and it was evident that
the unfortuuate man had made gigantic
efforts to force his way out before he became
exhausted, and finally succumbed to suffo-
cation. His face showed that he had gone
through fearful suffering. His hands were
clenched, and the skin was rubbed off in
several places. It appears that he was in a
state of coma when supposed to be dead.
The authorities have opened an inquest.

which had to be broken to get him out.
15. Pours a pitcher of water into his
mother's best shoes.
10. Finally, when he saw his mother com-
ing he ran out to the porch and tumbled off
of the steps, making his nose bleed and tear-
ing a hole a foot square in his dress.

A RACE WITH A CYCLONE.
Mr. Michael Davitis Story of a hallway
Advent Inc.
Ivlr. Michael Devitt tells a thrilling story
of a narrow escape a train in which he was
a passeuger in America had in a. race with
a cyclone. Tho storm -cloud was seen gath-
ering at the extreme bound of the prairie.
On its descent to the earth it bore along
with irresistible fury, tearing up trees, de-
molishing houses, barns and other obstacles,
which were sent spinning in the air like so
many straws. The first feeling of surprise
and curiosity soon turned to fear, as it was
seen that the hurricane was bearing direct-
ly for the train, and must inevitably strike
it broadside unless they could outrun its
extent. The women shrieked and hid their
eyes from the impending disaster, and even
strong men's hearts qualced. The engine -
driver at a glance saw it was a race for life,
and instantly put on all steam. The track
was favourable, and almost instanaly the
engine was tearing away at a rate of a hun-
dred miles an hour. Would she bo able
to get clear of the storm -fiend's wing? was
the anxious thought in the passengers'
minds. It was a question of only a few
minutes or momenta of awful suspense. The
hurricane seemed to bo swooping upon and
overwhelming them. A sigh of relief• and
joyous exclamations proclaimed that the
cyclone had missed them. It was a narrow
escape, though, for it struck the metals
about fifty fent in the rear of the last car,
and scattered the rails in all directions over
which the train had literally flown only a
second or two previously. Such an experi-
ence is not likely soon to be forgotten, and
Mr. Davitt can scarcely relate it without a
tremor—[Portadown (Ireland) News.
THREE OHILDREN BURNED,
A Deplorable Affair 'o hlcb Happened at
Ironwood, aitrhigan.
InoNwoon, Mich., Feb. 25.—One of the
most appalling catastrophes in the history
of this city occured last night. A store
building whose first floor was occupied by
Charles Bedard as a saloon, Charles De.
longcamp's wife and six children residing in
the second story, was burned to the ground.
Albert, Marie and Charles, aged seven, five
and two years respectively, children of De
longcamp's, were burned with the building.
The mother, with a two -weeks old babe in
her arms and the two older children, were
rescued with great difficulty. The fire which
originated in the kitchen, was caused by an
explosion of kerosene and spread litre a 17asli
through the building. The terrified child-
ren rushed in all directions. When taken
from the burning building and question as
to where the children were likely to he found
the frantic mother could give no clue as she
had become separated from them in the
dense smoke. Firemen and citizens fought
the fire with energy but it was of no avail.
The remains of the children have been taken
from the ruins two being found close together,
about 10 feet from the front of the building
and the third about 30 feet away in another
portion of the building. Several prominent
citizens were seriously burned while attempt-
ing the rescue of the little ones.
Wise Words.
It is better to sacrifice oae's love of sar-
casm than to indulge it at the expense of a
friend.
A beautiful woman pleases the eye, agood
woman pleases the heart ;• one is a jewel,
the other a treasure.
It is always a sign of poverty of mind
where men are ever aiming to appear great,
for they who are .really great never seem to
know it.
Sometimes it is hard to tell whether a
man is firm.in principle or simply obstinate ;
but the man himself never expresses any
doubt.
When we are most filled with heavenly
love, and only then, are we best fitted to
bear with human infirmity, to live above it
and forgot its burden.
The art of putting the right men in the
right places is first iii the science of govern-
ment ; but that of finding places for the dis-
contented is the most difficult.
Laziness grows on people; it begins in
cobwebs and ends in iron chains. The more
business a man has to do the more he is
able to accomplish, 'for he learns to econ-
omize his time.
A Fragment.
Down lowly way whore angels tread.
A whispered prayer stole on the wind
And stirred the flowers o'er sleeping dead
With gentle sway.
A mother's tear was shining there
Its radiance caught the floweret's abloom,
And mingling with the scented air
Made sliver balm.
The Dead beneath, slept silent on,
The Mother's prayer grow sweeter far,
A Blessing from tlio Golden Shore -
Came to her there.
-(B. Kelly..
A wicked man who reproaches a virtuous
one is like one who looks up and spits at
heaven ; the spittle soils not the, heaven,
but comes back and defiles his own face.—
