Directions for Burning Coal.

An exchange says: A very common
mistake is made and much fuel wasted in
the manner of replenishing coal fires,
both in furnaces and CRATES. They
should be fed with little coal at a time,
and often; but servants, to save time and
trouble, put ON great deal at once, the
first result being that almost all the heat
is absorbed by the newly put on coal,
which does not give out heat till it be-
comes red-hot. Hence, for while, the
room is cold, but when it becomes fairly
aglow the heat is insufferable. The time
to replenish coal fire is as soon as the
Goals begin to show ashes on their sur
face; then put on merely enough to show
a layer of black coal covering the red.
This will soon kindle, and, as there is
not much of it, an excess of heat will not
be given out. Many also put out the
fire by stirring the CRATE as soon rs fresh
coal is put on, thus leaving all the heat
in the ashes when it should be sent to
the new supply of coal. The time to
stir the fire is just when the new coal
laid on is pretty well kindled. This
method of managing coal fire is trouble
some, but it saves fuel, and gives a
more uniform heat, and prevents the dis
comforts of alterations of heat and cold
above referred to.

A Blue Glass Story.

An aged parent living on Vest Seventh
street didn't like it because young man
who came to visit his daughter staid 80
late. One night the young man called
and settled himself down ON the sofa
with a gentle thud that meant two o'clock
in the morning at least. He talked
about the weather in the most deliberate
manner, because he wasn't in the slight
est hurry, don't you see? Then he dis
cussed the latest opera season, and dwelt
upon the various amateur performances
that had been given in the city, criticising
all the performers with that minuteness
and severity which no one but young
man who has come to sit UP late with
his girl can ever employ. He was about
launching out in vivid description Of
the last party he had attended when he
stopped suddenly, clapped his hand to
his forehead, gave wild look around
the room, and staggering to his feet said
he felt that he would have to 60. Scarcely
waiting to say good night he seized his
hat, rushed out of the hall door and dis
appeared in the darkness and the night.
Immediately after man might have
been seen gliding down ladder placed
against the side of the house, over
against the parlor window, carrying in
his hand bulls eye" lantern, with a
blue glass. He chuckled to himself &:
"Reckon I fixed him-he he! Half
past nine is late enough for any young
man to sit up with my daughter" 1t
was the aged parent, and his exPerimen:
was another triumph for blue glass.

Advice to Parents.

There is said to be a young man in the
Missouri penitentiary whose parents, at
their death, left him fortune of $50, 600.
There's where his parents made a fatal
mistake. If they had taken the pre-
caution to invest that $50, 900 in small
dog, and shot him, and then had simply
left the young man a jack plane or wood
saw, with printed instructions how to
use it. the chances are that, instead OF
being in the penitentiary, he would to-
day have been gradually but surely work
ing his way up to handsome competency
and an honorable old age. But ever
since the days of Adam and Eve, parents
have made it point to toll and strugg'e
all their lives in order to realize suf-
ficient sum Of money to purchase, when
they are 6oad and gone, their sons each
a frst-class through ticket to the devil,
and it is not much to be wondered at
that so many of their sons, reared in vice
and idleness, as too many of them often
are, have no higher ambition than to in.
vest their inheritance in just that sort Of
transportation.

An Evenings Lesson.

Here is good spelling lesson for young
and old:
"The most skillful gauger I ever knew
was maligned cobbIer, armed with a
poniard, who drove peddler's wagon,
using a MULLEN stalk as an instrument
of coercion to tyrannize over his pony,
shcd with calks. He was Galllean
Sad,lucce, and he had phthisicky ca
tarrb, diphtheria, and the bilious inter
mittent crysipclas. A certain sibyl, with
the sobriIuet of gypsy went into
ecstas;cs of cachinnation at seeing him
measure a bushel of pease, and separate
saccharinc tomatoes from a heap of peel
cd potatoes without dyeing or singcing
Tic ignit;ble queue which he wore, OF
becoming paralyzed with a hemorrhage.
Lifting her eyes to the ceiling of the
cupola of the capitol to conceal her un-
paralleled embarrassment, making a
rough courtesy, and not harassiug him
with mystifying, rarefying and stupefy-
ing innuendoes, she gave him couch, a
bouquet of lilies, misronette and fuch-
sas, q treatise on mnemonics. copy OF
the Apocrypha in hierogylphics, daguer-
reotypes of Mendelssohn and Kosciusko,
a kaleidoscope, dram vial of ipecacuan-
ha, a teaspoonful of naphtha for deleble
purposes, q ferulc, clariOnet, some
licorice, surcingle, carnelian of sym
metrical proportions, chronometer with
q movable balance-wheel, a box of domi-
noes, and catechism. The gauger, who
was also trafficking rectitier and parish
ioner of mine, preferring wooden sur
tout (his choice was referable to vacil-
lating, occasionally occurring lido
syncrasy), wofrlly uttered this apothegm;
Life is checkered, but schism, apostasy,
heresy and villainy shall be punished.
The sibyl apologizingly answered: There
is notably an allegeable difference be-
tween a comfortable ellipsis and trisyl-
Liable diaresis.' We replied in trochees,
not impugning her suspicion.
We suggest to our readers that some
member of the "family circle" when
conversation lags during the evening,
should "give out the above words.
The one who is successful in spelling all
of them correctly may be congratulated,
and should go to the head of the class.

Bows Wanted.

Men are wanted. So they are. But
boys are wanted-honest, manly, noble
boys. Such boys will make the desired
men. Some one has declared, and truly,
that these boys should possess ten points,
which are thus given: l. Honest. 2.
Intelligent. 3. Active. 4. Industrious
5. Obedient. 6. Steady. 7. Obliging.
S. Polite. 9. Neat. 10. Truthful. One
thousand first-rate places are open for
one thousand boys who come up to the
standard. Each boy can suit his taste as
to the kind of business he would prefer.
The places are ready in every kind of oc-
cupation. Many of them are already filled
by boys who lack some most important
points, but they will soon be vacant.
Some situations will soon be vacant, be-
cause the boys have been poisoned by
reading bad books, such as they would
not dare show their fathers, and would be
ashamed to have their mothers see. The
impure thoughts suggested by these
books will lead to vicious acts, the boys
will be ruined, and their places must be
filled. Who will be ready for one of these
vacancies? Distinguished lawyers, use
full ministers, skillful physicians, success
full merchants, must all soon leave their
places for somebody else to fill. One by
one they are removed by death. Mind
your ten points, boys; they will prepare
you to step into vacancies in the front
rank. Every man whois worthy to employ
a boy is looking for you if you have the
points. Do not fear that you will be
overlooked A young person having
these qualities will shine as plainly as a
star at night.

An Old Fool and q Young Wife.

The Cincinnati Gazette tells this story
A story comes from Liberty, Ind, which
would be not surprising if located in
some portions of the old world, but is
almost incredible in this country. 1t is
a case of the downright purchase OF a
wife, through the agency of middle
man, and the wedding has been duly
celebrated. The principals ill this affair
are Mr.. VIM. Smith, q wealthy farmer
and mechanic, and Miss Phebe Johns, q
laiy about seventeen years OF age, and
weighing about 275 pounds, both living
about three miles east of Liberty. Mr..
Smith is about seventy years of age, de-
mented, deaf and of most unpromising
appearance. His wife, the only known
relative living, died about two
years since, and the old man has been
living alone on his farm. Not long ago
he offered to pay to any one who would
get him wife the sum of $4,000. Mr.
Powell Slade, with whom Miss Johns
was living as servant girl, hearing of
this offer, began negotiations with the
girl and also her father, Wash Johns.
The father, in consideration of 50, 600 to
him in hand paid, gave his consent.
Phebe agreed to marry Mr.. Smith, pro-
viding her wedding clothes were fur
nished her, grand supper be given, and
that the old man would give her deed
for his farm of 200 acres A meeting
was arranged at the Indiana House, in
this city, where everything was satisfac-
torily fixed. One evening recently the
marriage was performed. A magnificent
supper was spread, and music and dane
ing were the order of the night. About
one hundred guests were present, some
of whom went from the town OF Liberty.

An Old Soldier.

It will be hard to find man who has
had life of more vicissitudcs than that
of William A. J. Mcclure, who lives at
the Soldiers Home in Dayton, Ohio.
He was born in New Jersey, and from
his fifteenth to his thirtieth year was in
the merchant service, visiting almost
every port in the world. In 1904 he
turaed trapper on the Ohio river, and
finally enlisted in the American army,
being captured at Hull's surrender and
taken to Dartmoor prison, bat was freed
in time to fight at Lundy's Lane, under
General Scott. He served afterward az
a scout for General Jackson in Florida:
and also served in the Seminole war and
in the American merchant marine.
While a sailor he was wrecked in the
Mediterranean sea, and was held as q
slave by the Arabs until purchased and
released by an American consul. He
was also one of the nine survivors OF the
Albion on the coast of Ireland. He has
been married four times and is the father
of TWENTY-FIVE children. There are said
to be papers at Washington which snow
that he is one hundred and seven years
old, and that his story of service in the
American army is true.

Something Sadly Significant.

AS a New YorL: World reporter was
chatting with a druggist the converse
ton was interrupted by the entrance Of
a rather pretty young girl with very
pale face, plainly and neatly dressed.
She hesitated at the door for few mo-
ments, then came in with rush, as if
desirous of entering ere she could
change her mind. Goino to the dark
end of the shop she waited for the drug
gist to move toward her and then car
ried on with him an animated conversa-
ton in whispers. What she asked he
evidently at first refused to give; then,
though she tried to conceal her face, it
could be seen that she was pleading with
him-explaining, promising; then, with
apparent reluctance and apparently many
injunctions, he made up and gave her a
little package of powder, which, after
paying for, she thrust into her bosom.
Then she hurried out, still averting her
face, which was curiously red and pale
by turns.
"There is q tragedy in that girls
face" said the reporter.
"Quite probably. She wanted ar
senic."
(Which of course
81 did not give. She wants it to
poison rats with, she says. Couldn't
understand why she should be refused
it without doctors order, and wouldn't
give her name and address. Finally on
her promising to be very careful in using
it and not let it fall in the way of any
human beings, I gave her what she be-
heves to be arsenic. You saw how she
hurried away?"

"Of course not. She comes from the
east side. If she lived in this vicinity
she would 60 over to some place Oh
Third avenue. She will go home and
take what I gave her and it will make
her dreadfully sick. She Will hardly
have swallowed it when she will repent
and want to live, and she will live and
not try suicide again. 1 see two or
three women of that sort every week,
and as many more who come for other
drugs not aimed at their own life. If [
didn't give them something they would

credulous or less conscientious. When
O woman really wishes to commit suicide
she jumps into the river. Cutting her
throat or blowing out her brains messes
her corpse so that she doesn't like it;
besides, she is a coward to physical
pain, and if she takes poison it is usu
ally in moment of passion or despair,
and in the majority of instances no soon
er has she swallowed it than the love of
life reasserts itself. Curious things,
women"

What BIOndin Does.

Blondin's stay at Santiago, Chile, has
been an uninterrupted success. The
papers vie with each other in relating in
stances of his prowess, and one assures
us that in ST. Petersburg on one occasion
he went through his performance on a
rope covered with ice. 1t may not be
out of place to mention a still more re-
markable exploit of Blondin's at Vienna.
Not only was the rope covered with ice,
but the performer traversed it on two
stills twelve feet long, the ends of which
had been sharpened and thrust into soda
water bottles; and not only this, but he
actually danced the Liverpool horn
pipe," thus accoutred, carrying his sec
retary on his shoulders, and letting of
fireworks at the time.

| Yet how Deautlful Sne nau tnouSht
it at the time.
They were sitting together in the back
parlor the next day, when boy brought
a note for Mr.. st. Clair.
Chow provoking p exclaimed the
bridegroom-elect, knitting his brows.
"What is it, Guy 2" said Mary.
"The bill for those diamonds. [ told
the blockheads not to send it until my
remittances came from London, but they
must have misunderstood.
"They'n wait, won't they?" said in
nocent Mary.
"Oh, yes, they'll wait but I should
like to send the money at once. One
doesn't want to be under an obligation
to that sort of people. But it don't sig
Nifty. I'll just step out and borrow OF a
fellow at the bank. Anybody will let
me have thousand. :"
He took up his hat.
Mary, who had glanced at the open
bill, put her hand on his arm to detain
him.
"Wait, Guy" said she; "I can lend
you the money. Mammals lawyer paid
in Uncle Johns bequest this morning
don't you remember? You we're i'll
the dining-room when the check came. "
"All right" said Mr.. st. Clair, care
lessly, to the lad; ego back to Dudley's
and tell 'em I'll call and settle in half an
hour"
GA hundred pounds is nothing to
you, Guy" said Mary, admiringly:
"Not such a great deal, said Mr.. st.
Clair, Struggling his shoulders. "Well.
may as well 60 and settle the bill. I
shall never buy anything there again, If
they're in such confounded hurry for
their money. You'll be ready for the
opera when I come back, will you,
Nary"
"Shall you be long,"
ooh, not more than an hour.
Mary was all ready at the hours end,
in little lace hat she had tackled to-
gether herself, with cluster of crushed
roses and fall of Spanish blonde, while
on her shoulders she wore white shawl
she had borrowed from Mrs. Pepperhill,
the parlor boarder.
But Mr.. st. Clair did not come.
In truth and in fact, he never came
at NIL.
And at the end of week Mary Moreau
came to the tardy conclusion that she
had been the victim of deliberate
scheme of treachery, and that Mr.. Guy
st. Clair was william.
"But, at all events, we've got dia-
monds," said Mrs. Moreau, triumphant
ly.
And she carried them to the jewelers..
The jeweler put ON his spectacles,
peered at the ghttering stones and shook
his head.
<Paste," was all he said.
"Not real Surely you do not mean
that they are not real' gasped poor
Mrs. Moreau.
"Not worth five shillings," said the
ieweler, turning to attend to another Gus
toner.
"Weu," said Mrs. Pendasset, "and 80
the Moreaus have found their level again,
have they? But it was pretty costly
experiment for 'em, poor things /. Only
think, Mary's 9100 and all that bill he
owed to Mrs. Moreau for three months

"And Nelly Bennett tells me Mary is
to marry James, after all, :" said Patty
Dexter. eff / were James, [ would

Nonsense, Patty, nonsense" said
Mrs. Pendasset. "Never hit foe that
is down. James Bennett has sufficient
common sense to see that Mary Moreau
will make all the better wife for this little
bit of experience that has seasoned her
life
And perhaps old Mrs. Pendasset's
philosophy was correct.
