"I wonder when we'll ever get our coal," the complaint of many house wives for a few seasons past, will not be voiced by Miss Kicks Otr, twenty one years old. who Industriously mines coal daily In a little "vacon mine" on her father's farm in the hills of Mount Oliver, l'a.. uear Pittsburgh. Kicka Is her own boss miner, oper ator, manager, distributer. Pay after day she cheerfully sings a:-, she wheels her "black diamonds'' from the mine. Along about three years ago. when all the mines of western Pennsylvania were working to their fullest capacity, to keep an unending stream of coal flowing to the mills wlkre weapons and munitions were being turned out, RIcka was Imbued with the desire to do her share toward the winning of the great conflict. She suggested to her father, Gregor Ott. a steel worker, that they open a mine. Ricka's father scorned the Idea of giving up a per fectly good job In the steel mills for the uncertainty of a small coal mine. "I will mine the coal ami sell it," said Rirka. He laugned at the idea of a girl mining coal and driving a truck. She gave her father no rest until he agreed to start a mine for her. and she has since proved more than a match for the other miners of the coun try. Last year Miss Oit mined 9,000 bush els of coal, and distributed It to her customers. Pearhorn Independent. VVhen J!J the glacial period end?

Promotion of "Pure English." In England, as in the.T'nireil SnM the subject of preserving the purity of uie tngtisn lancuage from the effects of slung, loss of grammatical distinc tions, etc., has recently attracted much attention. One of the results of the movement In Englaud Is the formation of the Society for Pure Kt.gilsh, The society was founded in ir13, but was compelled by the war to postpone its activities. The reason for the exist ence of the society Is given as "the duty of English-speaking peoples to make their language adequate and efficient, and worthy of its increasing and world-wide use. Its purpose is to further the best Interest of the language by the promulgation of sound knowledge." It is asserted that the Society for Pure English does not in tend to dogmatize but to open an In formal democratic court in which all questions may be argued on full in formation. Columbus Dispatch. Prima Donna's Home. There are few more romantic homes than the Crmteau de Cebrieres, where Madame Calve, the famous operatic singer, spends the summer months.

Remarkable Cacti. The newest achievement of Bur bank, the plant wizard, Is the produc tion of cacti that bear fruits beautiful to the eye and with flavors resembling those of peaches, muskmelons, pine apples, etc, yet sufficiently unlike to render them appetizing novelties. They are very sweet, conlainlug from 12 to 16 per cent of sugar. These fruits may be eaten fresh or put up as sweet meats. They are of various colors and their Juices, particularly of the red ones (which are of brilliant hues) are utllliable for coloring Ices, Jellies and candles. Phlladeipnla Ledger.

An appeal has been school authorities of Cincinnati to the mothers of that citv to enlist in o war against "baby talk," and Its ef fects on their children, and a special speaker has been appointed to cn rrv this cause to the Mothers' clubs. While much of the talk with which fond mothers beguile their babies may sound very foolish to others, It seems to sound good to the bahy, and while the claim that It makes stutterers and causes other defects In speech may have some truth In It, the "baby talk" will bear comparison with much other ibik nearu Dy children. While good speech Is Important, the I matter Is of more importance than the manner In fact, good matter natur- ' ally tends to good manner In speech. ' It is at least quite as Important that j parents, fathers as well as mothers.

' Try as they may, the teachers are ! likely to have a hard time anyway tn I convince many mothers that baby talk is not the proper language In which to address the bahy. both as to sub ject matter and method of speech.
