The l'olted States consul general at St. Petersburg suggests that a pel- maneut exhibition of American ma- chinery he established at Moscow. It Is not a bad Idea. Russia Is already a large binyer of our machinery and will undoubtedly Increase her pur- chases many fuld if our monufactur- ers adopt a liberal polley of exploita- tion. The great Silverlan rallway. in the hnilding and equipment of which American machinery has been largely employed. will be an excellent forelgn advertisement. but a permanent exbi- bltion In Moscow, as suggested by the consul general, would serve to keep opr machinery constantly before the Russian people.

Germany's shortage of coal Is strik- ingly illustrated by the stateineut that. whereas in the whole year of 1809 only 124 shiploads of English coal landed at Hamburg for German consumers, 545 cargoes have arrived there already this year, and the demand is daily becom.

The scarcity of fuel Is embarrassing many great German industries, and unless the famine Is ret Leved from other sources than Eng. land the mannfactoring Interests of the empire may be forced luto a period of restricted operations, It would be Interesting to know what efforts Amer- Ican producers of coal are making to proft by this condition In Germany.

THE UNDELIVERED LETTER


They were tearing down the Center ville courthouse. One of the workmen found a letter upon which was the faded address "liniel 11. Carter."


"Why, it's to oll F'reacher Carter!" sail soine ohr.


"Il.w du you know ?" asked another. "Why. it's "Daniel H. Carter,' and his name's Daniel Ilrury. It must have been sent years before he went to preach- ing. It's open it."


"1)['en it?" said the second speaker. "Is that letter addressed to you? Nul.


sir. It's alldressed to Daniel Il. Carter. maul he's the only man who has any right to its contents, That cuvelupe's got n cure how long it's land there. It menns protection tu whatever it carries. Tlent


stamp would hold good n day after judg. nient."


The apshot of it all was that the letter was sent peruss to the building which had been htte up and was doing service. as justelive in lieu of the all one atul sent um hy the enrrier who had the Rev. lamel 11. Carter upon his runte.


"Ilir Kov. Mr. Carter was an onsy, gond entured bachelor and had been pastor at; Centerville tor alminst all the years since he returned from ereditable service ne chaplain of a reghinent during the civil wur. It was true that he had passed by all the religiously inclined spinsters aad charitalde widows in the town, but in apit- of this almost unpanlorable offense he was well lavel and deeply revered.


That morning when the postiunn rang his lu-it he went to the door aud recelved his letter with his usual stile and "Thank You."


To him the envelope seemed rather dusty on one oder and a bit old fashion- ed. Ite imagined, but. then, some years had passed over the Rev. Haniel Carter's bead and his sight was not so good as it bad once been. So, without curiosity, he Jau! the letter dowa on his study table and went down to breakfast.


The bread, butter and eggs were par- tienlarly good that morning, and the tea was just to his taste, so perhaps the mia- ister lingered a little longer at his moru- ing meal thau was usnal. It was at any rate a mother long time for a man who had on bis study table a letter which had been on the way for nearly 33 years.


But nt last the pastor made na end of enting and again sought bis study. He picked up the letter and adjusted his glasses with leisurely care. Ile glanced at the postmark aud let bis eye roam over the address, but he did not seem to see well, so he took off bis glasses. ruh- bed and polished them and set them on his nose again.


Ile looked at the haudwriting, and as his hand went up to smooth bis brow n flash of recognition came into his eyes. His hand dropped quickly, nad he looked at the postmark again. Then, with a sudden gasp nad the perspiration stand- ing ont upon his hrow. he dropped into a chair. Only for a moment he sat there staring into vacancy, and then with trem- bling fingers he tore the missive open and devonred its contents with his eager eyes. When he had finished it. the letter dropped from his grasp, and he pie his hands over his face, His frame shook with sobs and the tears trickled between his fingers. When bis paroxysm of grief bad about subsided. his voice came muf- fled from behind bis bands in these words:


"Great God. I thank thee that thou hast revealed to me this thing!"


He picked the letter up and read it again. It ran:


BELMONT.


My Dear Daniel-What! Ashamed to come and tell me yourself! Timid boy! Have you not seen that I love you?
