The coal famine imminent in France 01 affords an opportunity for American man. coal of all grades in these markets. he as The coal famine that has existed in helie France and a large part of Europe dur- as sti ing the present winter and the conse- work quent high price of all kinds of fuel hi have called very general attention to kind the coal supply of the world. The sit- Aftci uation Is supposed to be due to the his e war in the Transvaal and the strikes in the French coal districts. It couli tlie10 also be attributed to the unexampled activity in the channels of manufac- Af ture, which ane and all rest upon coal Bl as their foundation and have been (sio steadily increasing their consumption sole for the last decade. The governments and of several European nations have been liar asked to take prompt action in the dl- Anil rection of protecting their mines. The cot( annual coal output of France is about Am two-thirds of the consumption. The like railroads in France consume annually 1,)10 about 4,500,000 tons; the metallurgical How establishments. 6,000,000 tons; thd exqi mining industry, 3,00000,00 tons-over 51 half the output. It is asserted, but not DIal authoritatively, that France can great- banl ly augment her output of coal. The more general opinlo4 is that the coun- the try will have tO look for her coal sup ply to the United States and other wer lands, where there are rich mines yet ;v untouched. su ATLANTA, GA., Oct. 1st, '99. oth Allow me to thank you for the good her your Tetterine has done me.

But John Wallace was in lovefor the first time in his life, and he was not a man to let trifles or simpletons stand long in his way if he could help it. So he persevered in his wooing, and at last thought he might venture tc propose to that most fickle lady,Annic Harvey. Moreover, his business demanded his speedy return, for he was yet too poor to afford any long vacation. He found Miss Harvey on the veranda busy with crochet or some other femi nine employment. He invited her to ride; but Mrs. Perkins reminded her I of a prior engagement. Mr. Wallace expressed his regret, for it was his last day at the beach. That informa tion seemed to startle Miss Harvey, for she at once laid aside her work, and, saying she would be happy tc ride with' Mr. Wallace, went to hei room to dress.

The wise politicians of Hull weighed carefully the probabilities and pos sibilities of politics; and so skilled did they become that Boston, the con centrated centre of all wisdom, looked anxiously for the returns from the elections of Hull, saying, resignedly, "as Hull goes, so goes the state." John Wallace and Annie Harvey rode over the long stretch of firm, sandy beach from Nantasket to-Hull. They talked of the sea of old wrecks, of Minot's lighthouse and the white waves forever dashing agaipst its sides; and John Wallace described his hom house in far-away Denver, the little of h city surrounded by its giant peaks, the: which, in the clear mountain air, goof seemed so near, yet they were many lone miles away.

OUR SOLDIERS LOOK ALIKI. CI slsr-Ratred ~zaon Type Preosu Is t he Opp Army. The Saxosl type prevails throughout Son our active fighting forces; at least, it advon so appears to the mere eye-observer, lIg an whatever the records may show. A preva newspaper correspondent, now in Bos- comm t ton, called my attention to tis at Ban how t Fernando, in the interior of Luson, and is Cin I had myself noticed and spoken of it.Chine Everywhere the pale blue or gray eye, old everywhere the fair skin, everywhere bands the tawny hair and beard. In Cebu, gold Panay, Negros, and Sulu the same gol d phenomenon, writes Senator Bever- dage n Idge. In many instances the beards subst r have been allowed to grow, and ob- inche st ervances were atartlJngly struck with ticall; t the resemblance which these fierce- togeti looking bearded men-boys in years- one, 1 e, bore to the old pictures in our primary objec school histories of twenty-five years foot I if ago, and of the descriptions which ac- upon companied them. The Saxon type is as the b n conspicuous in the Philippines as the accor t flag itself. Of course, the dark hair prods and eye are there, too. Three of the At fi most daring and enduring soldiers I loose met were of that type, but the general tight il impression is distinctly fairness in the p t- hair and lightness in eye. This calls whet to mind the homogeneity of the people rests ., of the republic. One might well expect abov ly the same type in the men from the pose. al Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas; but victi: , he who has not followed ethnological scrip it currents in America would have ex- occu pected that the southern troops would test, have been quite a different type. And the ,a yet, in the Tennessee troops in Iloilo sary e was found precisely the same type as chile in the Dakota troops at San Fernando. tion, You might have said that they all savii ig, came from the same section, the same thro state, the same county, almost the and res same family. It was an inspiring a thought; the American people are in deed one people. The boys from Ten- the nessee look like the brothers of the the t boys from Nebraska or Montana. The OY boys from Oregon and Washington foot look like the brothers of the boys from inch he Pennsylvania. The boys from Call- won ih fornia look like the brothers of the over in boys from Minnesota.

"was Dr. McKane, who lived between E Washington and Augusta. He was a the Ae- physician of the old school, and being Ati also a man of strong religious views, nag ran he was in the habit of occasionally pea t1 preaching in the rural churches. Physi- re cally McKane was a giant, and if he to failed to convert a sinner by word of Ati ives mouth he was not averse to fintshing sp the argument with his fists; so, need- in pon less to say, his proselyting was singu- res tar larly successful. One Sunday, as the story goes, he drove to a neighboring he village for the purpose of holding serv -,. lees, and was met as lie descended thi from his buggy by the local black Ssmith, who was the bully of the com er munity. The blacksmith had heard of the doctor's prowess, and, regarding P ter his presence as a menace to his own prestige, decided not to let him th the preach. 'Well, stranger, who be y', anyhow?' he asked as a starter, plant' Ing himself in the visitor's path. 'Mt or Id name is McKane,' replied the doctor, tr 'and I've come to hold a meeting in the church yonder.' 'My name Is Bill Dl Williams,' said the blacksmith, 'and I'm here to tell y' that y' can't hold no meetin' in this town today.' 'That's something we'd best settle immediate ly,' said McKane, with perfect cool ness, and proceeded to pull off his coat. The blacksmith had the advantage of brute strength, but McKane was a Sskillful boxer, and after a few swift Spasses he saw an opening and knocked his man down. The bully got up ray ing and wal promptly floored again. The third time McKane stretched his adversary out he Jumped on his chest and began slugging him about the face. 'Hold on.' bellowed the black smith, spitting out a couple of teeth, 'I've getter 'nuff!' 'Do I preach here de. today?' asked McKane, landing a stiff Spunch on his nose. 'Yes! yesa!' yelled ht the other; 'preach all y' want tol' a 'And will you come and hear me? continued the doctor, hitting him a rtes: terrific lick in the eye. 'Yes! I'll come!' 'vry 'All right, brother,' said the fighting L boy parson, rising and wiping his hands; 'the services will begin at 10 sharp.' dwlThe blacksmith kept his word and was 0 on the front bench.

Opp.lnte.l Developis a Th Aa ieat and Terteat.s oisanm Some influential Chinamen are now advocating the abolition of that shock ing and cruel custom of foot binding so prevalent in the celestial empire. How common this custom is in China and we how fatal to the welfare of the women abi is little appreciated in America. Some any Chinese girls are permitted to go with do unbound feet until they are 6 years in old, when the time arrives for the thi bandaging process to begin, and the an "golden lilies," as these deformed feet p are called, must be molded. The ban- rit dage used for this purpose is made of he substantial webbing two and one-halft e inches wide. The process consists prac- no tically in doubling the toes and heels or together, with the toes, except the big w( one, bent under. The women, when the to object has been accomplished, and the MA foot is encased in the tiny shoe, stand hb upon the tip of the heel and the tip of to the big toe. This, of course, cannot be th accomplished at once, but it is the gc r product of a long and torturing ordeal. I 8 At first the bandages are applied rather I I loose, but periodically they are drawn ci 1 tighter and tighter, as the feet yield to a the pressure of the webbing. The heel, V, 5 when the foot is encased in the shoe, ai e rests on a tiny platform of wood fitted na t above and behind the heel for that pur- w a pose. The suffering endured by the be it victim during the process is beyond de- ye iI scription, and it is not an uncommon si r- occurrence for outraged nature to pro- ni .d test, and such a diseased condition of o0 d the feet to ensue as to render neces- b 1o sary their amputation. Sometimes the m i children will not submit to the opera- al o. tion, and their obstinacy results in m 11 saving the feet. Many children cry k Sthrough the long hours of the night t and bring on various nerve troubles. T The New York Tribune states that feet - are bound to a smaller size in Foochow than in any other part of China, for the fashionable shoe is only two and ea half inches long, and the consequent fissure where the sole of the n oot should be is about three im nches deep. The feet of a Chinese woman wield an important influence he over her life. When she is to be be rs trothed the size of her feet must be ascertained for the suitor, and great le, is the disappointment if the bride's Let feet prove larger than anticipated. by When the wedding day arrives the h- bride draws the bandages as snugly as n- possible. The soles of the tiny shoes are purchased with holes ready made in the wood near the border, in order that the wearer may embroider the e shoes and stitch them to the wooden soles, for the women make their own .r- shoes.
