when the requirements Of cooking Of partic-
ularly sharp airs do not demand a brisk fire
Even the ashes that capethrough the sift-
er, when made into mortar with water, are
serviceable. They may be used advantage
ously in preserving the fire in CRATE, and it
is surprising how much of what might be
otherwise condemned as waste can be made
thus to yield available heat.
Coal should be kept under cover, exposed
neither to the sun, the rain, or the FROST
lnsensible combustion and waste by the ac-
ton Of the elements rapidly diminish the
heat producing qualities of even the hardest
anthracite coal. By some this possible waste
is estimated as high as fifty per cent. This
be an exaggerated estimate, but that it is con-
siderable the observation experience of TWEEN
ty years warrant us in confidently affirming
Even the fine dust left in the coal bin is val
liable. Mixed into mortar as we advise
with the ashes, lit gives out an intense heat,
greater than that Of lump coal because of the
more readiness with which the oxygen of
the atmosphere can permcate the mass; and
here we may give few words Of advice
Small sized coal is more economical than
large COAL especially for household purposes,
if the CRATE is adapted to the size, for the
reason just stated. To prove this let one
take a lump Of anthracite as large as q
mans, fist, ''all alive, !" and crack it SO as to
expose the interior, it will be found to be
entirely black inside and uudsturbed by
the heat g
These practical suggestions and facts, un-
accompanied by scientific reasons are submit
ted for the consideration of our readers
We might have given the philosophy Of com
bustiop as applied to anthracite coal, but pre-
ferred tenske-a few simple statements leav-
ing our readers to trace the truths back to

BOSTON, Aug. 8.-Charles Francis Adams,
in reply to an invitation of the Quincy Grant
Club and Quincy Republican Committee to
address them, thanked them cordially for the
invitation and says: You are perfectly right in
presumipg that have in no respect varied in
my attachment to the principles held before
my departure from the United States. 1 am
fully devoted to the support OF the self-evident
truth proclaimed in the great declaration of
1776, to the maintenance of our glorious Union
against every enemy and to the supremacy of
the Consultation as our protection against as
saults from without as well as within; but in
respectfully requesting to be relieved from
longer service under the government, my chief
motive has been to enjoy some brief period of
respite from activity in public affairs. 1 have
looked forward to my return among you as a
season of entire rest, during which I could
hope to devote my leisure to my private Occu-
patrons greatly needing my attention. For me
to enter at once into the strife of party politics
after having for SO long period enjoyed the
privilege of representing the whole people as
making one country, would be FORGETTING all
the CLAIMS which may fairly make to rs pose
Further than exercising my right of suffrage
at the proper time, l do not contemplate dur
ing this season any variation from my inten-
ton to remain in retirement. ass
