If she is a public character—a writer, a speaker, a physiclan—aho Is generally known by the name which she bore previous to her marriage, with her husband's surname appended. ‘Thus Ella Wheeler became Ella Wheeler’ Wilcox, Thus Elizabeth Cady became Elizabeth Cady Btanton, The whole nation knew the great woman suffragist by that name, but comparatively few people knew her by the name of Mrs, Henry Brewster Stanton, though Henry Brew- sten Stanton, her husband, was in his day a well known man, $e UNBREAKABLE GLASS, Louls Kauffeld, a Bavarian gla worker, says Tit-Bits, makes extraor- dinary claims for a new kind of glass he haw Just discovered, It is a glass of such nature that it will not break, that can be moulded into any desired form, that scan be hammered without catas- in short, a glass that will be as dor any other motal ordinary goblet made of thls material you can hammer a nail into a tc board.

Do I think the coal fight is on the level? “Study the returns. Look over the dope. ' Size up the situation out there in the anthracite coal fields, where the chorus girls and Sunny Jim Lederer come from. Let me tell you the layout. “Certain railroads run into the coal fields. These vafiroads are all into a combine, Some men are on the boards of directors of two or more of the railroads, They y+ all herd together like a gang of dips at a big celobration. You can't get them to admit that they are im a com- bination any more than you can get a Prohibitionist to admit that whiskey isa good thing, but you probably noticed at the time of the strike that the men who own the coal roads were the men who carried on the square- ology negotiations in this city and that when it came to putting scabs at work in the mines the coal road men were the people who put up the fall money. “The same men that own the opal roads own the These few are owned by Pennsylvania square-heads who call them- selves independents. If you don’t go behind the returns you will think that these highly eminent bag-puncherst of labor were in the business because they liked to be stepped on by the ratlroads. “Remember that the only -way the independents can set their coal to this market or any other market {1s by the coal raflroads in the combine or the canals owned by the railroads. If it wasn't for these railroads the coal taken out by the independents would be of about ? | a8 nYuch use to them as tin whistles in a deaf and dumb asylum. To get their coal to market they made an agreement with the railroads a few years ago by which they delivered the coal to the railroads and after that {t was out of their hands.’ The railroads. ‘brought it to ‘New York and sokt it, and after it was over the inde- Dendents took what is called in the world of thieves and gamblers the. grafter’s bit—something like 40 per cent. “When it came to settle the strike the railroad miners, who are crooks, because it is against the law in Pennsylvania for railroads to mine coal, wanted to, _ settle. The politicians were chasing them around the '‘ block. They had a compromise all agreed to when along comes the independents and by threatening to’~ show up the whole scheme of the crooked work, forced them to fight {t out. “For some time now the come-ons have been making @ squeal. The come-back has got to be so strong at >| the railroad people had to do something. So they put > {it up to the independents to draw out of the game. “We'll let you fall down on your contracts with us,’ said the railroads to the independents, ‘but we'll haul your coal for so much a ton and you sell it for what you can get for it.

Uniike most other men of learning, Pascal was more or less interested im the affairs of practical life, He was the inventor of the pushoart thet now perambulates our etreets. In 1661 he had large wagons built for regular traffic in the heart of Paris. He allied himeelf in this undertaking with several influential friends, among whom was the Duke ef Roannes. In 1662 Louks XIV. granted letters patent to Pascal, in which it was eaid that these carnlages were intended for the com- fort of poor people who had to go to courts of justice, or who were sick and so poor that they could not afford to pay the two pistoles exacted by the chainmen and the drivers ef coaches. , At first the use of the vehicle was not generally permitted.
