EcOnomizing Fuel.

One of the great objections to ordinary
tireplaces is that too much of the heat
goes up the chimney, and innumerable
have been the attempts to obviate that
loss. Register stoves have been invented,
and various contrivances adapted to reg
ulate the draught and reducing the size
of the tue. One method proposed was
to light the fire on the top, and, after
the first few minutes, as the heat spread
downward, all the smoke passing through
the upper incandescent layer was con-
sumed, and so much the more heat saved
but the moment the fire had to be
made up again all the advantages were
lost. One of the latest suggestions to
prevent the waste of heat was to form
the bottom of the CRATE Of an ron plate
instead of bars. An improvement on
the plan is patent coal economisef
which has hollow pierced cylinder ris-
ing from the middle of the plate. The
air entering the cylinder from below the
CRATE is thus conveyed at once into the
center Of the fire, and tie heat, instead
of rushing up the chimney III undue
quantity, is dilf'used into the room, and
coal is economical. The perfection of
combustion is achieved when, instead Of
feeding the cylinder with the Initiated
air of the room, it is supplied by pipe
communicating with the external air.
And further, we are informed that if
camphor or any other disinfectant is
hung on the cylinder the scent is driven
into every corner of the apartment. So
that room may be perfumed, disinfect-
ed ventilated by this continuance wher

Triumphant Love.

a marriage which took place in Poca

ming set for the marriage was II rainy
and dismal one, but the minister arrived
ut the brides house to perform the cere-
mony,

house was only few miles from the

ever, everybody was anxious, and no.

pig-pen was over the line, and toward it
the party steored. The minister mount

Cause of Stunted Trees.

The stunted, scraggy growth d the
underwood in a forest is generally at
tributed to the fact that the smaller
trees are oyershadowed by the taller
ones, and thus deprived of the light and
air necessary to their developement.
But NJ. Grandeur, professor in the French
School of Forestry, says that this @tunt-
cd growth is caused by the larger trees
acting as conductors, depriving the
smaller ones of electricity. To test this
view, he tried an experiment.
In April, 1877, he took two tobacco
plants, each weighing 9 grammes, md
having four leaves. They were both
planted in boxes containing mould of
identical quality, and placed side by
side in a position favorable to their
growth.
But one Of them had placed over II a
cage, consisting of four iron rods, one
metre fifty centimetres high, joined at
the top and overed with wire gauze,
which permitted the free circulation Of
air, light and water, but completely pro-
tected the plant from atmospheric
electricity.
They were left uninterfered with until
the middle of August, when the results
obtained were as follows: The plant in
the open air had attained height of
3 feet inches, while the other was
only 3 feet inches; the former weighed
Programmes and the latter IA grammes;
when dried, their respective weights
were 30 grammes and l5l grammes.
Similar experiments made with maize
and wheat gave precisely analogous re-
suits, so that NJ. Grandeur has come TO
the conclusion that the electricity of the
atmosphere is equally necessary TO vege.
,stion as sunlight and air.

Book CLuBs.--Few small American
towns can boast of a circulating library
of any importance, and cultured men and
women suffer from the want Of new
books, periodicals, etc, which they indi-
ridually cannot buy. This want can bo
obyiated in IA measure, by n friendly
combination between certain families or
individuals, in which each contributes a
given number of books TO a common
stock; these books are loaned 10 the
members in turn. A more formal and
much better way is the formation Of u
book-club, in which each member pays
mt the beginning II certain sum, with
which as many books are purchased as
there are members, each one choosing u
book these pass in regular rotation from
hand TO hand, remaining fortnight with
each reader; thus twenty books may be
read for the cost of one. When tho
books have passed around the circle,
they are sold TO members for the benefit
Of the club Fines for the detention
and abuse Of books also keep up the
mnds. No officer is required in this as
sociation except a treasurer. Another
advantage in the plan is that books can
be bought 10y the quantity at lower rates
than singly. The same rule applies to
subscriptions for magazines, newspapers,
etc The excellence Of this idea will at
once commend itself to the attention Of
book lovers.

Cremation and Crime.

Col. Co,omh, SAYS the Pail Mall Gazette,
has raised question in connection with
cremation which deserves attention. Ii
bodies are allowed to be burned on the
production of the certificates which are
accepted as sufficient in the case of huri-
al a very wide door will be open to
murder, At present the interment Of
body is not an absolute bar to further
investigation into the cause of death.
ELIMINATION can be resorted to if any
reasonable ground for suspicion presents
itself, and the presence of poison can he
detected long after it has done its work.
But cremation would constitute an abSo-
lutte bar 10 further investigation. 4 muir
derer who could avoid exciting suspicion
for week after death had taken place
would be perfectly safe. The body
would have disappeared and the ashes
of the victim would tell no tales. 1t il
lmpeatively necessary that before Gre
nation is allowed proper provision
should be made either for the official
examination Of all the organs in which
it is possible TO detect traces of poison or
for their removal from the body before
burning and their preservation until
such time as they cease TO serve as pos
sible witnesses to the cause Of death
A sanitary Improvement which made
murder any easier than it is would ho a
very decided change for the worse.

Honor thy Mother.

1t was a cold dark night in winter,
The wind blew, and the snow was
whlrled furiously about, seeking To hide
itself beneath cloaks and hoods, and in
the very hair of those who were out.
A distinguished lecturer was to speak,
and notwithstanding the Villagers very
generally yentured forth TO hear him.
William Amnesty, buttoned up to his
chin in his thick oyercoat, accompanied
his mother. 1t was difficult TO walk
through the fallen snow against the
piercing wind, and William said to his
mother:
Couldn't you walk easier if you took
my arm|
Perhaps could" his mother replied,
as she put her arm through his, and
drew up as closely rs possible To him,
Together they breasted the storm-the
mother and the boy who had once been
carried in her arms, but who had now
grown so tall that she could lean on his.
They had not walked very far before he
said;
Il am very proud TO night mother"
proud that you can take care of me ~
she said to him, with a heart gushing
with tenderness.
This is the first time that you have
leaned upon me said the happy boy.

he enjoyed that evening, even if he
should live to old age, and Should in his

Scotch Funerals in Old Times,

Talking of funerals in the good old
times, and i'll the mansions of the lairds,
.hese used to be the most ENJOYABLE of
our parochial festivities. The kith and
kin came from great distances to be en-
.ertained in a style beftting the occasion.
There were grave facts at the gathering
when the guests assembled round the
coffin to listen to suitable prayer.
Then glasses Of wine We're handed round
once, twice, or ottener,-the poorest peo-
pie would procure wine for the occasion,
and "the memory of the deceased" was
toasted in silence. Then the long pro
cession moved off to the kirkyard, and
the body was laid silently in the grave.
The duty being solemnly discharged, Il
load was visibly lifted from the assis-
lants. Acquaintance came together in
the carriages and mourning coaches, and
there was plenty of animated converse

At the dining tables all were in excel
lent spirits and appetite. The near rela-
lions might be sad at heart, but they
felt Hospitality bound to stife their sor-
row, and there were ample appliances
for drowning it. When the old fashion
of drinking healths and taking wine"
prevailed, mourners were apt to get
merry in spite of themselves, while, as
may be supposed, the mere acquaintan-
ces of the deceased gave themselves
over easily to boisterous joviality. 1t
was churlish thing to be the first to
break up good company, and even the
minister might well sit it out till con.
vivial example upset his decorum.

A Newport correspondent writes It's
a Newport tradition that tomatoes were
first eaten in this country in about 1873,
in a house still standing on the corner OF
Corne and Mill streets. About that time
there came here an eccentric Italian
painter, Michele Felice Corne. He pur-
chased a stable on the street now called
for him, fashioned it into a dwelling
house. and there lived and died. Pre-
yious to his coming, and long after, to-
matoes, then called love apples were
thought to be poisonous. A gentleman
told me recently that in 1919 he brought
them from South Carolina and planted
them IN his yard, where they were
looked upon as curiosities and priced for
their beauty. They became, later, how
ever. a very unpleasant missile IN the
hands Of the small boy. A charming
old lady also told me that in 1924 she
was sitting with a sick person, when
some one brought She invalid, as a
tempting delicacy, some tomatoes. The
astonishad attendants exclaimed, would

section Of the town, had been serving
