one.
What does not please the priest will please
the sexton.
Nature draws more than seven oxen.
1T is dirty water" said the rover, when he

How TO BURN CoAL,-Grsham's Magazine
has an article on coal buying and burning
from which We select the following
|" The great mistake of ell is to put on too
much coal. az If it We, weod-the greater the
quantity the greater tho heat. If too much
coal is applied, the combustion Is necessarily
imperfect. because the fire is necessarily
" checked up the draught destroyed. and
the elements Of the coal slowly escaping from
it, pass of 70 the chimney unconsumed, or are
disseminated in gases through the room.
Whereas it the strata of coal be but moderate,
Q red flame will play around the interior Of
the stove, by which entire combustion and a
healthy heat are secured. One ton Of coal,
therefore, by thorough combustion, will often
secure more heat, and healthier atmosphere,
than two tons secured In the ordinary way |;
and this 10 fact which can easily be demon
strated.
1t will be very important, this winter espe.
cially, to have attention paid to this rule.
