CURIOSITIES OF COAL.

An average Atlantic steamer consumes
fifty tons of coal in twsnty-four hours.
Therefore, if five tons of coal are suiIi-
cient TO feed ali ordinary CRATE in our
dwellings during the entire year, the coal
consumed on board steamer in one day
would last small family, burning one
fire, ten years. If load of coal is left
out Of doors, exposed TO the weather, un-
ill it is burned up in one CRATE, say a
month, il loses one-third of its heating
qualities. Ifa ton of coal is dumped on
the ground and left there, and another
load is under shed, the latter loses about
twenty five per cent. Of its heating power,
the former about forty-seyen per cent.
Hence it is a great saving of coal 10 have
it in dry place, covered over The soft
er the coal the more ii loses, because the
most volatile and valuable constituents un-
dergo a slow combustion.

A DUTCHMAN'S VIEW OFINSURANCE

A certain Dutchman had effected an
insurance on a small house for "a 900, al
though it was built for much less. The
house got burned down, and the Dutch
man then claimed the full amount for
which it had been insured butthe officers
refused to pay more than the actual val
ue, about $4,000. He expressed his dis
satisfaction in powerful broken English,
interlarding his remarks with some choice
Teutonic oaths.
"If you wish it" said the actuary of
the insurance company, 1--WE will build
you a house larger and better than the
one burned down, as we are positive it
can be done for even less than $4,000
To this proposition the Dutchman oh.
jected, and was at last compelled to tak'
the $4,000.
Some weeks after he had received the
money he was called upon by the insur
ance agent, who wanted him to take out Q
policy of life insurance on himself or OF
his wife.

One Of Henry j. RaymOnd's Charities.

him for it, somewhat, but he called it

would some day be repaid Once he came
came into his office laughing, and saying
that one of his loans had come back to
him. And he told the story how, one
day. y,.while busly writing in his room,
there appeared to him man, saying:
"Is this Mr.. Raymond?" Being assur-
ed of this, he continued, "Can l speak to
you few moments, sir?'
The MSS. were showed aside.

THE REVENGE OF A JOURNALIST.

As is well known, in this country, many
aspirants for Office has been maligned and
in some cases defeated because said can.
didate refused TO accede to the demands
of certain unprincipled newspaper men.
The same is true regarding business men
who have refused to submit to the un,
reasonable demands of newspaper report
ers. 1t is said that reporter of one Of
the smaller journals of Paris asked the
manager OF a theatre TO give him two
seats for certain performance. The
manager refused, and the journalist said
TO him: "Your refusal will cost you
10000 francs $4,000" For six months
after the paper TO which the reporter was
attached praised the theatre in this wise:
Monsieur X, is magnificent director
He has good company, and his enter
tainments are excellent His manage
ment is intelligent. He knows what the
people Of Paris want. What pity il is
that the staireases of the theatre are of
wood. III fire should break out. the
audience would have little chance TO es-
cape" The result of this was that the
manager was forced 10 build an iron
staircase, which cost him $4,000.
