ONE 'EYE"SIIUT.
r
Queer fiifictlce of 21101111
Miners Who Work in the
Dark.
The
A recent traveler in Mexico, who vis-
ited the mines there during his Journey,
says that he v'Vas much astonished at
seeing the men carry the ore come out
of the mine each with one eye shut.
The foreman, seeing his surprise, ex-
plained the matter. He said the can-
dles belonging to the trateros (who
drill and blast) do not give sufiicicnt
light in the drifts, where it is conse-
quently quite dark, but where, never-
theless, the tarateros see well enough
not to run their heads against the
rocks. But, on emerging into day-
light, they would be blinded did they,
not take precautionary measures.
For this reason; as they approach the
mouth of the shaft, at a point where
they catch .the first glimpse of light,
they drop the eyelid of one eye, and
keep this down while they are discharg-
ing their ore and until they have re~
descended the shaft.
' VV hen they are again in the dark, they
open the eye kept hitherto in reserve,
and at once see everything distinctly;
while the other eye, previously open
and somewhat blinded by the daylight,
perceiv es nothing at all.
Should hot Expect It.
No rural community that does not
make some effort to procure good roads
should expect free delivery of mails.
The Fly Was‘Fooi'ea,
A fly was found by a companion roll~
ing about in agony. “\Vhat ails you?”
inquired the companion in a' sympa-
thetic tone of voice. “I have the painl—
cr’s colic,” groaned the sick fly, as an
expression of agony swept over his fea—
tures. “I thought I would take a bit
off the bright red checks of that woman
over there, and this is the result.”
sunflowers in Chicken Yards.
The large Russian sunflowers can be
made useful as well as ornamental by
planting 111 cm in chicken yards. There
are many yards where a little more
shade would be appreciated by the
hens at the time the plants would be at-
their best, if started early in pots or
boxes, and transplanted in the yard in
clumps of three or four, and protected
when small by a piece of wire netting.
The hens will do the fertilizing and cul-
tivating, and do it well, too. After the
seeds have ripened in the fall and the
plants are no longer needed for shade,
cut down now and then one and‘see
'how the fowls will enjoy the seeds.
They are one of the best foods for lay-
ing hens. —M. L. Bell, in American Gar-
dening. v, _ l
DREYFUS TO. RETURN.
Great Rejoiclng 'Over the Revision
Verdict of the Court of Causation.
PARIS, June 5.——~The cabinet council .
has decided that the Fiench second class .
cr'uisei Sfax, now at Fort de France,
Martinique, should proceed immediately
and bring Dreyfus from the Isle of Dev-
ils to France.
‘. The cruiser is expected to arrive at
Brest about June 26, when Dreyfus will
be handed to the military authorities and
lodged in the militaiy prison at Rennes.
His conviction having been annulled '
by the united chambers of the court of.
cassution, his military rank and title are
rest01ed to him. He will occupy an offi-
cer ’s cabin on boaid the Sfax and will
be allowed on deck from 1 to 4 o’clock
every afternoon.
The papeis point out that the court of
cessation voted unanimously for revi-
sion and only debated the process where-
by it'should be carried out.
The decree of ”the court was communi-
cated to Mme. Dreyfus at the house of
M. Hadamard, her father. She immedi—
ately sent the following dispatch to her
husband:
“The cou1t of cassation proclaims revi-
sion, with a new trial by court martial.
Our hearts and thoughts are with you.
Let us share your immense happiness.
Tenderest kisses from all. ”
The Figaro says that throughout the
'day c’ong1'atu‘lato1y telegrams have Been
flowing in upon1 Mme. Dreyfus, M. Ma-
thicu Dreyfus and Maitrc Mornard, their
counsel.
WORLD’S"COAL PRODUCTION.
America’s Rapid Gain Brings Her to
Second Place.
WASHINGTON, June 5.—The coal
production and consumption of the world
during the past 15 years are presented
in some'tablcs just prepared by the
treasury bureau of statistics. These
Show that while the United Kingdom is
still the largest coal producer of the
world the United States is a close sec-
ond, and if the present rate of gain is
continued will soon become the leading
coal producing country of the world.
The coal production of the United King-
dom in 1897 was 202,000,000 tons, that
of the United States 179,000,000 tons;
Germany, 91,000,000; France, 30,000,~
000; Belgium, 22,000,000; Austria-Hun-
ary, 12,000,000; Russia, nearly 10,000,—
000; Australasia, nearly 0,000,000; Ja—
pan, ovcr 5,000,000; British India,
4,000,000; Canada, nearly 1,000,000, and
Spain, 2,000,000.
No other country reached 1,000,000
tons in production. The United States
has gained much more rapidly during
the 15 years under consideration than
has the United Kingdom 01' any of the
important coal producing countries of
the world, her gain duringthe 15 years
being over 73 per cent and that of the
United Kingdom less than 24 per cent.

Germans Not Pleased.
BERLIN, June 5.—The general tone
of the press in commenting upon the ac—
quisition of the Caroline, Ladrone and
Pelcw islands from the Spanish govern-
ment is in the direction of belittling the
value of the concession. The. Tagliche
Rundschau, the leading organ of the Ger-
man expansion policy, says: “Germany
obtuinsthe remnants which America, in
her superior manner, despised. Their
value is small, and there is no need of
joyous transports.” The Freisinnige
Zeitung, which calls them “our new and
worthless colonies,” says: “A prize
would have to be offered to discover
Which of the three groups is the most
valueless. Germany is paying for c010-
nies that nobody else wanted.”
