THE SUPPLY OF ANTHRACITEI
The constant extension of the anthracite

' possible exhaustion of this most important
fuel. The output for the year Isa-.1 was up.
wards of thirty-one million tons. while that
for 1883 will he at least thrce million tons
greater. The increase is chiefly in the West,
where even in the bituminous coal districts
the anthracite is steadily growing in favor‘
for household use, because of its greater
cleanliness and its more gradual and uni-
form combustion. The comsumption of an-
thracite in the West is certain to increase at
a rapid rate as the facilities for cheap trane~
portation become greater.
In view of this steadily and rapidly in-
creasing consumption and the fact that all
the available anthracite coal known in this
country is confined to a few counties in
Pennsylvania. the inquiry as to the per.
mancncc of the supply is not an unnatural
one. Mr. Ashburncr. who is in charge of
the State Geological Survey in the anthra-
cite Ilt‘lII. made some statements in a recent
lecture on the subject which. being pro
sumably based upon definite knowledge,
throw some light upon this important sub-
jcct. lie places the total anthracite pro-
duct during the sixtI yearn since mining

so am \Ihich originally cont. Iined 1.500,-
W0. 000 tons. He estimates the total body
of anthracite in the State at 25.000.000.000
ions, which. if correct. would show that
only about six per cent. of the coal had as
yet been disturbed at all
If these estimates are even approxin: Itely
reliable it is not Worth while for any of the
present generation to stint their fuel in

A. OLD PRISON
As you step into Chethan: street from the

mastic trouble which it sometimes causes.
’ The Rev. Dr. John Hall thinks that. the
tendency in this country is not to marry too
young. butto wait too long. in hope of
amassing wealth before marrying. He he-
lieves. however. that there should be here.
as in Europe. a licenscr. to whmn all must

ministers.sssrule. have neither time nor
facilities to make the necessary inquiries in
all cases. The Rev. Dr. W. M. hylor favors
slaw forbidqu the marriage ofs man
under twentyone and of a woman - under
eighteen years of age. He refuses to marry
people under these ages. The Rev. Dr. R.
8. Stem holds similar views. The Rev.
Dr. Thorns Armitage. who ten years ago
secured the passage of a State law empow.
sring ministers to administer oaths to per»
sons suspected of not telling the truth
about their fitness or unlitness for the mar-
riage contract. thinks that the lowest limit
of age should be eighteen years for the
groom and sixteen for the bride. He, too,
regards a license bureau as s necessity.
Bishop H. C. Potter. while not prepared t:
say what the age should be. is convinced
that the common law makes the limit to:
low. it being fourteen and twelve years. The
Rev. Robert Collyer would say sixteen and
fifteen at the lowest. but prefers twenty-one
sud eighteen. and would not marry people
under those ages. even with their p.1rents'
consent. He approves the old-fashioned
custom of announcing the bans in church
on three successive Sundays. The Rev. 'Dr.
W. F. Morgan has not in twenty years been
asked to marry anybody under age except
we. Ilnder certain circumstances he
might unite persons as young _ fourteO‘I
years. but no consideration could induce
him to marry children under that age. The
Rev Dr. R. R. Booth refuses all applicants
uht. have not reached their majoritv. The
Rev E. W Beecher does not believe that
one couple in ten thousand marry at twelve
and Iourteen. but if a boy were so foolish
as to want to marry at fourteen he would
say let him go. The Rev. '1‘. DeWitt Tal-
mage never marries people under eighteen
and twcntyone. He denounces the idea
that a man should make a fortune before
taking a wife. He believes that the man
Ind woman should begin together at the
bottom of the financial ladder.
