CoAL.-The season tor getting IN the win
ter's supply OF coal is ct hand. 1tmay be we'll
at this time to repeat, in substance, some re-
marks made last year as the quality and the
means Of judging this indispensable article A
good article of coal may BIZ recognized readily
by the observance Of two simple rules, easily re-
menlbered, and of easy application: lst The
nearer the approach to square fracture, or d
cubical shape of the lump the better is the coal
slaty coal shelves off in slabs and irregular
pieces. I'd. The texture should be smooth and
glossy. Of course to test this the lump should
have the cliuging dust and dirt taken off; if,
after doing this, the surface does not rub off on
the hand it is favorable sign. An observance
of these two things will save many from the
annoyance of having an almost daily cleaning
out Of the CRATE, incident to using slaty coal.
