eesti.r Acquainted win A Coal stove


N From the La Crosse, Wis. Democrat,
We never had a coal stove around the
house until last Saturday. Have always
burned pine slabs and pieces Of our
neighbor's fence. They burn well, too,
but the fence got all burned up, and the
neighbor said he wouldn't build new
one, go we went down to jones' and got
a coal stove. 1t was called the "Radi-
ant Home," and any man who says we
didn't have radiant home for about
four hours last Saturday night, is a Re-
publican and villain. You see we
didn't know anything about coal stoves.
We filled the Radient Home about half
full of pine fence, and when the stuff
got well to going we filled the artesian
well on top with the coal. 1t sirnmered
and sputtered about five or ten minutes
and went out, and we put on an over
coat and pair of buckskin mittens and
"went out too," to supper. We remark
ed, in the course Of the frugal meal
that Jones was "fraud" for recon-
mending such COMPOUNDED refrigerator
to a man to get warm by. After supper
we took piece of ice and rubbed our
hands warm, and went in where the
stove was, resolved to make her draw
and burn if it took all the pine fence in
the First Ward. Our better half threw
quilt over her and shiveringly remark
ed that she never knew what real solid
comfort was until she got coal stove.
Stung by the sarcasm in her remark,
we turned every dingus on the stove
that was movable. or looked like it had
anything to do with draft, and pretty
soon the Radiant Home began to heave
up heat. 1t was not long before she slut
tered like new Silsby steamer. Talk
about your heat! In ten minutes that
room was as much worse than u Turkish
Bath as Hades is hotter than an ice.
house. The perspiration fairly tried out
of a tin water cooler in the next room.
We opened the doors, and the snow be-
gan to melt as far up Vine Street as
Hascomb's house, and people all around
the neighborhood put on linen clothes.
And we couldn't stop the confounded
thing. We forgot what Jones told US
about the hampers, and she just kept a
billing. The only thing we could do
was to go to bed and leave the thing to
burn the house up If it wanted to. We
stood off with pole and turned the
dampers every way, and at every turn
she just sent up heat enough to roast
an OK. We went to bed, supposing that
the coal would eventually burn out, but
about IL O'Clock the whole family had
to get up and sit on the fence. Finally
Il man came along who had been brought
up among coal stoves and he put wet
blanket over him and crept up to the
stove and turned the proper dingus, and
she cooled off, and since that time has
been just as comfortable as possible. If
you buy coal stove you want to learn
how to engineer it, or you may get
roasted,

Oickins and Irving.

When was in Madrid, Mr.. George
Washington Irving, whom had known
since | was boy, represented our Gov
ernment at the Spanish Court. l had
just come up from Andalusia, and had
spent more than week in Granada, de.
voting the greater part of the time to
the Alhambra, which was then being
restored. was surprised to learn from
Mr.. Irving that since he had arrived in
Spain iii diplomatic capacity he had
never once revisited the subject of one
of his earliest and greatest literary trl-
jumps. However, he seemed to take
dition of the old Moorish palace, and
what had become of those, who lived
there when he wrote about it. His
health was not very good, and he suffer
ed from that overpowering propensity
to sleep so common to overtaXed brains.
1 never saw Mr.. Irving betray any ex-
citement but once in my life, and that
was upon an occasion when | dined
him at Madrid. The name of Dickens
happened to be introduced, and he be-
came very heated in telling me about
his relations with that author. Finally
he could no longer contain himself, and
jumping from his seat he walked up
and down the floor in great apparent
agitation. He told me that he had cor
responded with Dickens long before
they ever met. That both from his
writings and his letters he had formed
the highest conception of his personal
character. That under these circum-
stances Dickens arrived at New York,
and he, Irving called upon him at the
Astor House. That Immediately after
sending his card he was invited to Mr..
Dickens parlor, and, as he, entered the
room, that gentleman met him, napkin
in hand. He had been dining, and the
table was covered with vulgar profu-
sion Of food, and the table-cloth was
stained with gravy and wine. Wiring
ing his hands, Dickens first salution
was. 'Irving, l am delighted to see you!
What will you drink, mint-julep or a
gin cocktail?'' "The idea of inviting
me to drink juleps and cocktails!" naive
ly exclaimed MIR. Irving. He found
Dickens outrageously vulgar-in dress,
manners, and mind. And none of us
young people were more incensed
against him for his american Notes and
Martin ChuzzJeaoI than was the gentle
Goldsmith of American literature.

woman,s Inluenco over Man.

Where is the man of parts and princi-
Piles who has not been managed by a wo'
man? What hero of the past(the pres
ent is slow to recognize its heroes) has
not had its heroine, even though she be
not recorded? a.f
Pericles was managed by Aspasla in
everything that added to their greatness
and to the glory of Greece. He was
proud to admit his Indebtedness to her.
She helped him in his pedestal, and
drawing her after him, he crowned her
with laurels, and proclaimed her god
dess fit for the Parthenon. He had no
fear to be thought inspired or guided by
her; for he was lofty leader of lofty
men, standing so high that he heard the
uttered wisdom of Olympus. -.V
Hyperides the rival of Demosthenes,
was SO managed by Phyrne, as to render
his effort in her behalf the crown of his
eloquence. The beauty of the woman,
flashed into his thought the symmetry
of her form swept through his sentences
and she stood acquitted by the power OF
her reflected lovliness. Cesar and An
tony knew from the first what a siren
Cleopatra was. The great Julius saw
her consummate management when she
rose, like rare aromatic flower, from
the bale the swarthy Siciiian had
brought. He felt the presence OF the

Live mammoths Dis covered.

Anybody tired of fox hunting might
according to a Russian, Cheriton, find
some sports in Siberia. In his account
of his exploits he says that one day he
found the wide and lofty entrance TO a
cave. He entered with some precau-
lions, for the rocky pavement was worn
as by its use, and within he heard slow
measured movement, as of an animal
gently rum mating and heavily breath
ing, with great, calm inspiration and ex-
piration, like the sigh of bellows
One turn, then another, and he heard
heavy, startling snort, and there, in
the half light of the cave, standing still
before him, alive, chewing the cud, and
waving its proboscis to and fro
with gentle, majestic motion, he saw
a -mammoth" 81 did not know then"

told, that Siberia was an old habitation
of these animals, and that some of the

covered with redish brown wool and
long black hair During his stay in the
valley he was close to five of them, all
of which were nearly of size, being
about twelve feet high, eighteen feet
long, with tusks projecting about four
feet, and being about eight to ten feet,
counting the curves. The skin which
was bare on the upper surface of the
ears, ON the knees and rump, was q
mouse color and seemed very thick
The animal was nocturnal in its habits
frequenting in caves or forest depths
by day and feeding at night or early
morning. Cheriton thinks there might
be some fifteen to twenty of these mon

WILLs.-The literature of wills is full
of curious expressions of personal preju-
dice, often of the pettiest sort. There
would seem to be more of tyranny than
affection in the will proved in 1852 OF
the Englishman who, in case his son Ed
ward should wear mustaches, ordered
that an estate devised to him should be
given to his son William; and who like.
wise provided that if William should
not be able 10 resist the mustache, his
share should be given to Edward This
odd old British dislike to a French fash
ion is also to be noted in an appraiser
aud upholsterer who, by his will, gave
the men he employed $50 each, "but to
those who persist in wearing the mus
tache, $50 only" Another peculiar will,
dated 1864, is that of the man who gave
his wife $3.50 year on condition that
she should wear widows cap, failing
which duty she was to get only $l0O.
Another gentleman imperatively willed
that his wife should not, after his de.
cease, "offend artistic taste or blazen the
sacred feelings of her sweet gentle ma.
ture by the exhibition of widows cap. u
