In view of the question of coal being a contraband of war, the following sta tistics just issued as a Parliamentary paper will be read with interest. Tho United Kingdom comes first in pro duction (1890) with 196361,000 tons, Germany follows with S5,090,000 tons, and France next with 2S.750.000 tons, while Belgium comes fourth with 21, 252,000 tons. The average value at the pit's mouth in the United Kingdom was $1.51 in 1S95, but fell to $1.40 ia 1S9G, while in Germany it rose from $1.69 in 1S95 to $1.77 in 1890. Great Britain employs by far the largest number of persons in the coal industry. Coming to the exports it is seen that in the year under review the United Kingdom exported 44,587,000, Germany 6,122,000, Belgium 4,018,000, United States 2,337,000 and New South Wales 2,474,000 tons, while Japan in 1895 ex ported 1,805,000 tons. Sweden used no less than 87 per cent of British coal, while Spain" consumed 50 per cent of British coal and 50 per cent of her na tive production. The value of the coal in 1S96 was estimated as follows: United Kingdom, $2S5,950,000; United States, $204,835,000; Germany, $148. 245,000; Belgium and France, $62,515, 000.-London Chronicle. TUMOR EXPELLED. Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. ELIZABETH WHEELOCK, Magno lia, Iowa, in the following letter de scribes her recovery- from a very criti cal condition: " DEAR MRS. PINKJIAM:-I have been taking your Vegetable Compound, and ara now ready to sound its praises. It has done won ders for me in relieving me of a tumor. "My health has bepn poor for three years. Change of life was working upon me. I was very much bloated and was a bur den to myself. Was troubled with smothering spells, also palpitation of the heart and that bearing-down feel ing,, and couM not be on my feet much. "I was growing worse all the time, until I took your medicine. "After taking three boxes of Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Lozenges, the tumor passed from me. "My health has been better ever Bince, can now walk quite a distance and ara troubled no more with palpita tion of the heart or bloating. I rec ommend your medicine to all sufferers from female troubles." It is hardly reasonable to suppose that any one can doubt the efficiency of Mrs. Pinkham's methods and medi cine in the face of the tremendous vol ume of testimony.

The tilt of the hat counts more than the hat itself at present. Every elab orate piece of millinery is meant to be worn in a particular way,* and it is seldom that.a wouian gets anything like the intended effect without com petent instruction. Be sure you know how or else stick to the pretty, straight brimmed shapes trimmed with ribbon and clusters of flowers. Women in the Civil War. Shortly after the outbreak of the civil war it became evident that unless something was done to prevent it more men would die of disease than from the wounds of the enemy. The sanitary commission, whose members were chiefly women, was then organ ized, and by its efforts the percentage of mortality M as reduced to one-fourth of the former figure. The commissiou had branches in all the large cities and towns of tho North, and part of its work was to care for the wives, mothers and children of the soldiers, -New York Tribune. ? Sweet Kapi for Scentin? Linen. Every self-respecting housewife likes to have her table and house linen smelling of sweet aromatic odors, so I am giviug a recipe for making these scent b.Tgs economically. Take equal quantities of powdered cloves, nuice, nutmeg aud cinuamon. Powder the dried leaves of mint, balm, southern wood, ground ivy, laurel, sweet mar joram, hyssop and rosemary, so that they form an equal weight with tho above. Then add half as much of chips of cassia, juniper, sandalwood and rosewood, also powdered root of angelica orris. The mixture will be completed by quarter as much amber gris and musk. All these things should be well mixed and then put up in little bags of sateen, which should be placed between the clothes in the clothes press. Sashes in li Ich Favor. Sashes are in high favor this season. Nothing adds more grace to an already graceful, slender .figure thau a sash tied around the waist, with long ends at tilt) side or back. Tho handsomest ones are made of magnificent moire ribbon, with a brocaded stripe run ning through the centre, and are from 12 to 18 inches in width. The ends are finished with long silk fringe. Other moire sashes have insertions of lace set in straight up and down, stvaight across or zig zag, aud are finished with accordion plated chiffon. White surah sashes with ends v.-f Kornau stripes are also mucl; used, and so are those of taffeta in delicate shades. A surah sash has one distinct advantage over all others-it washes beautifully and takes dye better than any other silk. The Frince8ses of Spain. The daughters of the Queen Regent of Spain are brought iq) much mure simply than was formerly thought right for Spanish infanta?, and i hel are allowed more liberty. Their royal highnesses are often to bo met walk ing on the public promenade in Mad lid, with their attendan's,among the other frequenters of that favorite walk. The princesses aro almost al ways accompanied by their greatest friend, the Donna Sol, the only daughter of the Duke and] Duchess of Alba. The duke and duchess, who have precedence of all Spanish nobles, take their place immediately behind the priuces and princesses of the blood royal, and their children have always been the favorite companions of thc little king of Spa' and his sis ters. The Duke of Alba is R nephew of the ex-Empress Eugenie, his mother having been the sister of her majesty. Tho present Duchess of Alba, who is a great sportswoman,has the reputation of being the proudest woman in Spain. She holds the post of lady of the palace to the Queen Re gent, and has unbounded influence with her royal mistress. Selecting Kid Gloves. In selecting a kid glove for wear choose a fine, but not too fine kid. Examine the inside of a glove. It is important that the glove be dyed on the outside only. Wherever the color of the dye har, struck through the leather there the glove will be found fonder. This is because thc strength of the dye necessary to color leather is always strong enough to make it tender if it strike-* through it to the inside. Sometimes the leather will only show the color at the seam on the inside. Such a glove will pull out ut this seam. It is wise to select a glove of neutral dark tint. Black gloves as a rule do not wear as well as dark colors. Browns wear well; so do dark grays and the pretty putty and ecru tints now so fashionable. In mending a glove, avoid using silk except to darn down a piece of dress silk the color of the glove on i^gfi inside of the glove to hold a rent together. In this case, darn the parts together with invisible stitches on the outside. Always sew over ripped seams with cotton the color of the thread used in making the gloves. Do not use silk to sew ripped seams or to darn with except when it is 3tronger than cotton. The Red Cross Nurses and the War. When first the war cloud loomed dark and ominous upon the horizon an appeal was made for emergency nurses. The applications have been more than 500 in number. Of these 200 have been accepted provisionally. In most cases those who have applied are graduates of other schools, who come with their diplomas and recom mendations from physicians whom they have served. But it is not re quired that the applicant should be a graduate of a nurse's training school, for maay other women are needed in the hospital work besides those t^at take cue of the sink. Superintend ents, matrons, and some to do clerical work ca i be employed, aud such as are hotter fitted for this work will be detailed to it. To th JSQ who undertake the work *Ui8 oath ia administer^, which cid mnnds obedience to duties and officers, devotion ns a sister to those who need relief and to those with whom they ure associated, and a sacred regard for the emblem and uuiform of the Eed Cross. The Eed Cross uniform is required of those who do not belong to other training schools. Such wear their own school uniform unless it be white, when tho blue gingham of the Bod Cross is requested as more service able. The cap, kerchief aud the badge with the red cross worn on the arm, even though the dress be different, distinguish the sister. The Bed Cross society meets the requisitions of the surgeon general of the United States army. When nurses are needed for army hospital work they will be called upon in this way. Many women, burning with patriot ism and the desire to lend a hand in this great ^historical crisis, who, be cause of lack of physical strength or because of the demands of home duties, cannot serve personally, can send a nurse, payiug her passage to the field of action, and contributing to her support while she ia therev - Harper's Bazar, KU?! nette or Mourning. English' mourning, considered by smart mantnamakers to be in tho best taste, is heavier than before, hut is worn for a shorter time. A widow should wear her crape, henrietta cloth or bombaziue and her widow's cap for one year. After that time she will assume all black without crape or cap, and at the end of tho second year put on whatever color she may desire. A daughter wears "crape mourn ing" for six months, all black for six more, and then, if she wishes, put on colors. The same rule applies to a sister, while a distant relative or friend wears "complimentary mourning, " all black, for three mouths. The stiffly crimped net which at one time was worn at the neck aud wrists by widows is no longer used. In its stead tine lawn cuffs and collars, quite deep, the cuffs haviug hems measur ing half an inch, while the hem of tho collar is a little less, are basted in the sleeves and neck after the fashion of old "turnover" collars and cuffs. These, it must be remembered, are worn exclusively by widows, and the three-cornered cap is made to match. Of course, the friends and acquaint-* anees of the bereaved should leave cards at the door with their condol ences written upon them, but only those connected by ties of blod or the most intimate friends shonl l ever usk to see those in grief. They are at home, and .mnuy women, restrained by their scruples of truth and cour tesy, are forced to see thoughtless callers, when it is far from pleasant, it not absolutely painful. All cardB of inquiry are recognized by a return card, black bordered? and. should be sent within- ten days after the reception of the card o? inquiry. Letters of condolence have almost en tirely given way to personal ca' ds.aud those in grief are not expected to answer such latters, except by the re turn of pasteboard. English custom requires a special black bordered card for this purpose, engraved som .v'nat as follows: "Mrs. Blank wishes to thank you for your kindness iu mak ing inquiries about her." The name, of course, is to be filled in. The en velope used shoul J be black bordered and fit the card. While crape is worn formal visits are never paid, invitations never ac cepted. A woman cannot give evidence of worse taste thau by wearing a long crape veil to a place of amusement, while crape on the dancing floor is an abomination too great to be consid ered. When crape is laid aside black bor dered paper goes with it. This paper has regular numbers; that used by daughters aud sisters is known to the stationers as No. 1, by a mother that known as No. 3, while a widow uses No. 4. All jewelry is out of taste in mourning. Fushion Funden. Chiffon straw hats are worn with new costumes. Dainty ribbons with gauze borders come in all the pretty colors. Bordered fabrics, by the yard or imported i i robe patterns are greatly in evidence among summer dress ma terials. Piaids in clannish colors and Bomau striped ginghams are greatly used for shirt waists, especially for golfing and cycling. Bayadere stripes and plaids in rib bons are shown in large quantities, the former for gowns and the latter for children's hats. Over a third of all the goods ordered from wholesale firms is in plain fab rics, which fact augurs well for the supremacy of the tailor made suit. Every well dressed woman feels the need of such a costume, and is glad to find new materials of suitable color, texture and pattern. In the new materials shown are changeable and plain poplins, whip cords, plain armure effects, drap d'ete, drap de Paris and plain jacquards. In extreme novelties are plaids, bayadere goods, plain silk and wool cloths, with raised silk and braidwork, and others with a crinkled face of fine overshot silk mixtures. Shaded, striped and figured taffetas are still leading silks for linings, the bayadere and raye stripes being al most too new to be called popular ns yet. The secret of the delightful fr ou fron ?that proclaims without a doubt the silken lining and under skirt eau never be obtained, however, from any of these. Only a plain, one shade taffeta, with plenty of dressing for both lining andpetticoat, will pro duce the desired effect. The chapeau par excellence is the English walking hat. The sailor model, in its new, improved outlines, is not deposed by this very popular hat, however, nor will it hold a less important position later on; but for the pre-cut the English shape has the innings of the milliners. This hat is sufficiently varied in its style and con tour to adapt itself to all types of faces, for while the difference in the brim and crown is not at all pro nounced, the manner of arranging the trimmings upon the hat for different people quickly transform ita outlines to. tue ettflct desired' FIRM EATERS OP SPAIN. FOR FIVE CENTURIES THE PORTU GUESE HAVE LOATHED SPANIARDS. Pnblic Sentiment in Portugal Consista Chiefly of Detestation 'of Their Next Door Neighbors-The lll-Fesllng Is Kept Alive Principally by the "W?rnern "I was astounded when I saw that bulletin about Portugal hesitating to turn the Spanish fleet away from the Cape Verde iBlauds," said & cosmo politan looker-on in New. York td ? S^u man-, "What strU?k r?e hs So impossible abolit it was the hint of tm. alliance between Spain and Portngal. "Why, I have lived in Portugal and mixed with the people, and I know that they could stand .^lraost anything better than that. ?Portuguese senti ment-the sentiment of the people at large, of 'Antonio e Maria'-consists chiefly of hatred to the Spaniards. They may be indifferent about other matters, or divided in feeling: Some of them are Miguelistas, or Legiti mists, some are heartily attached to the actual dynasty; many in the cities -most of all in Lisbon-are republi cans, but the one uuifyiug sentiment of the people Ls the anti-Spanish sen timent. * "When you come to oonsider what their history has been I don't seo how they could have been otherwise. They have altogether five great_ national heroes, Dom Enrique, who~Was pioi. neor of all European exploration in the Atlantic; Vr.sco da Gama, Dom Sebasi tian, "the Faithful Prince," who is the centre of various poetiC?d legends'} Dom Joao, and Gil Eftnnes Pereira: ?t is safe to say that moat of th? plain people of the whole couhtry know lit tle or nothi?g of th? first two df thes? beyond their names. As for the Faith ful Prince, many of them, probably, are not quite sure whether he was a real historical personage Or only mythicnK But every Portuguese Mavrador-,' from the Minho to St. Yin cent, k?o\vs Dom Joao, who in 1385 drove the Spaniards all the way from Aljubarrota, in Portngal, to Burgos, in the middle of Spain, and Gil Eannes, who beat them at Valverde in the; same year. Those two are the Bruce and the Wallace of the Portugil?se, but there is this difference between the Scottish and the Portuguese hero- worship, that the one is a m?re mat ter of historical pride? while the other is part of a living? active? political force. "Tho fftct is that since Bh? Itist Brazil and fell iut? ? state 6f gen?rdl decline the people Of Portugal hav? become hitfenSely retrospective. They nourish their pride on national memo ries, aud the.fundamental national fact for them is their independence of Spain.. They began to be a nation when they broke loose from the king- : dom of Castile and-Leon in the eleventh century,and ever since then, except for a couple of generations in the sixteenth and seventeenth centur* ies, they have existed as a nation under the continual threat of absorp1 tion into -Spain, The house of Biaganza stands to the Portuguese people for no good thing but the re volt of 1640, by which their country was redeemed into independence-. Ahd the people feel that the price df inde pendence is perpetual hatred df Span iards-.. We cali understand the feeling; ont ' % imagining what it would h?ve, b?en iii our country if the original thirteen States hid been collectively mtich smaller than Great Britain ??<% separated geographically froiiii that' country only by a line on the map. "Nobody who has lived in Portugal can fail to have noticed the signs pf this undying hatred on all banda. Do you know, for instance, the true mean ing of the saying. 'A bad Spaniard makes a good Portuguese?' Of course, there is the Spanish interpretation, which is the obvious one. But there is also the deeper Portuguese inter pretation, and that is, that any bad friend to Spain is by that very fact -a good friend to Portugal. "Yon can see ovidouces of the feel? tag, too, in the very language of Por tugal, which it? Bpeakers seem to have purposely developed in such a way as to make it as unlike Spanish as pos sible. Written, it looks like Spanish, but spoken it souuds much mor? like Polish or Czech. It is a curious fact that no self-respecting .Portuguese woman wouid be seen wearing a man tilla, for the mantilla is ' the Spanish woman's headgear. And during, the last rcigu it used to be remarked in Lisbon that only two ladies there ever smoked, the queen, Maria Pia} mother of the present kiug-au Italian-and the Duchess of Palmella-this; ?gain; because the habit of smoking had long been distinctive of the Spanish among all other womankind. "I believe this anti-Spanish feeling has been kept alive all these centuries very largely through the perseverance of the Portuguese women. Perhaps they remember that it was a woman who cast the die for the anti-Spanish revolt in 1640 by pronouncing the mem orable sentence, 'As for me, I would rather have death as Queen of Por tugal than a long life as Duchess of Biaganza'-although, it is true, that woman was a Spaniard. "Once I asked a Portuguese girl if she really hated all Spaniards. She said of course she did. I reminded her that the Christian religion com manded ns to love all men. 'Yes,' she said, 'but that was a long time . -o, before there were any Span .ards.'" A BI?K Full of Breath. The "pneumatophor," an Austrian invention for enabling miners, firemen, etc., to breathe when surrounded by after damp, smoke or noxious fumes *of any kind, consists of an air-tight rubber bap: containing a steele bottle of pure oxygen at a 2>ressure of 100 liters, and a metal protected glass bot tle containing a 25 per per cent so lution of caustic soda. The oxygen can be admitted by a hand screw into the bag and drawn into the mouth through a rubber tube, the nose being closed by a clip. The turn of another handscrew breaks the glass bottle, allowing tho caustic soda to flow out and be absorbed by a knitted network in the bag to at.iorb the car bonic acid exhaled, allowing the oxy gen to be rebreathed, the apparatus being capable of furnishing oxygen enough to la9t from thirty to ninety minutes, as has been attested by nu merous experiments. Why He Docs Drink. "Private" John Allen of Mississippi, who is now serving his seventh term in the national Hjuise of Representa tives, gives this characteristic reason why he never touches liquor : "Of course, if I drank any at all, I should have to indulge while stumping my district. Now, you just think what wopild happen to me if, while on n stumping tour, I should take a few drinks and then attempt io say : 'Fel low- citizens of Itawamba, or Oktibbba, or Tiihoming county.'

The following dreadful picture of India was given by M?BS Helen New comb at the Women's Baptist Foreign Missionary.convention in Syracuse the other day : When I went through Bombay over' half th? population had locked their doors and fled;and the desolation alone of th? stre?ts wds terribie.

I was told not long ago by a woman that she was sure the terrible pictures which had appeared of the Indian famine were not true to life. Suffer ing by famine cannot be exaggerated. The horrible picture of skeletons of children lying along the roadside, de* eerted by parents who crawled on per haps only a few ynrds before they, too, were overtaken by death-this even the camera cannot do justice?

In some important materials Germany stands very high as a producer, rank ing next after the United States and Great Britain in iron ore, iron and coal. In the output of the salt works and chemical works the Germans also hold aliigh place, since there, as in other trades, German industry and scientific research are applied very thoroughly to improvements in pro cesses and the utilization of by* products. The average prices given show some differences from our own in a direction we Bhould hardly expect. Coal is much higher than the average of our bituminous coal, though the brown coal brings a low price; the latter, however, is an inferior fuel, and its use is restricted. Pig iron averages nearly one-half more thau- in the United States. A study of these prices will show that the supposed nd* vantage of lower wages in Germany disappears wheu submitted to careful examination. It is more an offset by our improved machinery and processes and the greater efficiency of our labor. -Engineering and Mining Journal. Hindoo P?mait of a Treasure. The following incident occurred re cently in one of the largest hotels in Calcutta. It appears that an officer of the Gordon Highlanders arrived in town on his way home. He had s large sum of money with him-about 2000 rupees-and the usual jewelry ol an English gentleman. These were all locked in one of his trunks. Re turning from the dining saloon to hie room one evening, he was just in time to see some suspicious-looking natives bolting down the corridor. On enter ing his room he found, on examina tion, that all his trunks had been forced open and the contents thrown about; but strange to say, not a pie? of his money was missing nor auj item of jewelry. He believed that tht burglars were Afridis, and the objeel of their cupidity a copy of the Koran belonging to the Mad Mullah, which they somehow learned was in his pos session.

Kid Roasted Whole. Mrs; Ramsay; who accompanied her husband on his archaeological tour In Asia Minor, once spent a whole day in a harem. She describes the incidents of her visit in her book, "Every-?ay Life In Turkey," from which we condense the description o? the Turkish dinner. The ladies of the house, the mother of the master and his two wives, warmly welcomed the stranger and introduced her to several guests. Coffee and ci garettes and slices of melon were handed round shortly after. Then, it being noon, two of the older ladies veiled themselves, and on prayer car-? pets spread toward Mecca, spent a quarter of an hour in devotion, while the other ladles smoked, laughed and chatted. Some of the women went into the garden, where they romped like schoolgirls at hide and seek. At four o'clock preparations began for dinner by putting ? tabl? cloth o? patchwork Under the table and placing on it a four legged Stool tUrn?d upside down. tJpon lt was laid ? large? round rco'.al tr?y thr>? feet in diameter;roUnd the edge of which was piled bread. A basin; ewer and napkins were carried to the guests that they might wash their hands and several bf the mord devout-, calling for prayer carpets and veils, s?id their prayers before dining: Pillows were placed round the table am. thc guest3 tock their places, sit ting Turkish fashion. A narrow nap kin, many yards in length and with embroidered borders, encircled the ta ble, lying in loose folds on the knees of the diners. The first course, served in the earth enware pot in which it had been cook ed, was called pishmish, and was com posed of rice, onions, sour milk, cheese and fat. The pot was placad in the middle of the table, and all the guests supped as much as they wanted with neat black wooden spoons with color ed beads set in their handies. The second course was a calf-entire from head to hoof-boiled until the bones fell out, and smothered in a miss of finely shredded garlic. It was oaten with the fingers of th? right hand-th? tips of two fingers and the thumb: What remained of the second course a lirlle garlic and the bones-was re moved, and a huge cream tart wa? placed on the table. The flaky pastry and tho fragrant, rich cr^am having been eaten, the dish that had contained thc cream wa3 replaced by another piled with dolmaches-a mixture of mincemeat and rice wrapped in vine leaves. That was succeeded by a great bowl of cherries cooked in honey and eaten with an Ivory spoon. Mrs. Ramsay, although she had eaten to repletion, made a show of enjoying the sweat, lest her refusal should cause the re moval of the dish untasted by hosts too polite to eat What their guest had de?llned: A kid, roasted whole and stuffed with pistachio nuts, followed the cher ries, and that was succeeded by an other dish of sweets; Then came fow's; vegetables, meats and fruits and last of all a pilau. "Now;" said Mrs. Ramsay's left-hand neighbor, with a sigh and a smile, "if you are done, we may retire from the table.*' She had been done for three long hours, and with grunts and sighs all arose. Th? basin and ewer wore again handed round, and then cigar ettes and coffee. It Is stated on German authority that the astounding number of 2,000,000 g?ass eyes are made every year in Ger many and Switzerland, while one French house manufactures 800,000 ?f them annually.
