Foster, who wrote Wijr Down t ' jxni the Swanee ltiveh," ris a northerner, t>orn in Pittsburg, hilj 4. 18'JO, and be never saw the Torida river. He was a popular song rriter who appealed to the heart of kin public. Among his works were "Old Kentucky Home", "Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground." "Old I>og Tray'\ "Sweet Ellen Say ne". "Old Black Joe" and other Mthern songs. He liad a naturjj^ ap titude for music, and at lirst wrote his wigs without knowing how to play them, kt later studied the pianoforte and wic culture. He was living in New lort when lie won fame br a song *riter. When he wrote "Way Down Upon the Swanee Itiver" he was given 1500 for its sole use by Christy's Minstrels. A legend states that the writer sud taly turned to a map of the South. *hi!e writing his song, to find a river * that would suit Hie mechanical heeds of rhyme writing, and just happened to choose the one dear to the hearts ot the South. The peculiar negro flavor of many of his songs was acquired by attending negro camp meetings. Foster chose, to be a popular song writer, although bin critics, pointing to his four-voiced serenade, "Come Where My Iiove Lies Dreaming," say he was capable of better things. When his pop ularity declined he became depressed and gave way to irregular habits. He died in New York January 13, 1804, a pen niless* wanderer. ? Detroit News. Sure Enough.

The moat difficult tusw of the coal commission, says London Answers, seems to bjp to (liRCOVdf how tuuc.h coal cutting Is a fair ilsy's work for a collier. It apiHMtra that in a good "place" a man will cut four tous of coal in u shift, yet the yearly output of coal per man wan only 220 tons last year. It in rather Interesting to glance at other forms of work, am' to see Just how much other toilers do In a day. Take plowing for instance^ The ^tan who, with a single plow, turns an acra In a day. Is well earning his money. In completing his task he will have walked and guided the plow abaut fourteen miles. Harvesting In the old days used to bo slow work, and the man who cut by hand half an acre of wheat was doing well. With the modern horse cutter and binder one man, with the i&sstatance of tvvo "shockers," has been known to cut and bind > twenty acres of wheat In one day. At one time the setting of three hun dred bricks was considered a day'a work for a bricklayer. But at piece work, and using a special soft mortar, a man hna been known to lay 1,400 bricks during an 8-hour day and to continue this average for days on end. Packing fruit Is no easy task. Take oranges, for instance. These average 150 to the box, and each fruit has to be separately wrapped In paper. Sev enty boxes Is considered a very fair day's work, but a man has been known to pack 120 boxes In a 10-hour day. He had to handle and wrap 18,000 orangea to accomplish this task. The work our men did In Franca when marching In full kit Is far be* yend that of an ordinary laborer. The world's marching record la held by a detachment of the London Rifle brigade.

They were In full kit, and carried rifles, a total weight of 42 pounds, yet not a man fell out. ? N Heroes, Every One. In a section of the North Pennsyl vania street stands ob Weleome Home day, two women were much Interested In the drum-major's pigeon-toed course, with his back forming a 4fi degree an gle with the pavement. - ''Ever' one o' our soldier hoys be Jest In his rights If he strutted like that leader, with his stick at the head o' the bond," one commented. "Lnwsy, all he needs Is some feath ers an* he'd beat the sprucest turkey gobbler' I ever seen In ull my bort? days," her companion remarked. A man next to them volunteered : "Well, our boys ain't goln* to strut any; hut as you say, they all got a license to; an' didn't they Certainly take the goose-step out o' the German army, when they chased 'em back across the Rhine?" , "Alu'i they the grandest heroes ever was?" the first woman asked. "Bet yer life," the man agreed with pride. "Yes, Indeedy !" the other womfcn ex claimed. ? Indianapolis News. Somo Good Out of War. The geophone, a listening Instru ment developed by the French during the war to detect enemy underground mining operations, Is to be used by our bureau of mines as a possible aid In locating miners who have, been en tombed after a " disaster. A miner pounding on a coal seam can be heard with this Instrument 1,JJD0 feet away. Recently a pit boss who happened to be near while the geophone was belns tested in a mine, put the instrument to his ears. He heard so distinctly that he called out In a startled tone: "Mack is tamping In a charge. We had better move away." A coal seam 300 feet thick separated Mack from the start led boss at the time. Laugh on the Doctor. An Illinois physician who had mo tored into an Ohio town found a por ter standing back of the machine laughing- ~ "What's the Joke?" inquired the owner. "Nuthin', boss; but you're a doc tor, ain't you?" "Yes." "I thought so when I saw that rod cross on the front of your car. Bui if I owned the car I think I'd put that sign on the back."
