Waste of Fuel.

In domestic economy the waste OF fuel Is ex-
ceedingly great, but II is not easy to give pre-
else figures representing the loss OF effect, ow-
ing TO the manifold purposes TO be accom-
pllshed, including cooking and the heating ana
Ventilation or apartments. III ventilation could
be neglected, close stoves. such as are used in
Russia, would ungueStionably furnish the
most economical mode OF heating our apart
ments; but health and comfort are, after all, OF
greater Importance than econ omy, and these
are best secured by means of an open CHM
ney. Not only does the open chimney give
rise TO an active circulation OF air through the
room, which Is necessity for our well-being
but heat is supplied TO the room by radiation
from the incandescent material instead or by
conduction from stove surfaces: in the one
case the walls and furniture OF the room
absorb the luminous heat rays and yield them
back to the transparent air, whereas In the
latter case. the air Is the first recipient OF the
stove heat, and the walls OF the room remain
comparatively cold ana damp, giving rise TO
an unpleasant musty atmosphere and to dry
rot or other moldy growth The adverssries OF
the open fireplace say that IL warns you Oh

The Foolish Hen-A Fable.

Mrs. Brown Hen was known throughout her
neighborhood as modest, hard. scratching,
patient biddy. She never complained of the
cold or found fault with the heat. and no one
ever heard her express an enyiOuS wish. Great
was the surprise, therefore, when she appeared
among the Darnyard fowls one day, and began:
I'm tired OF being hen. 1t Is nothing but
scratch for worms and lay eggs for the family.
Let peacock pass by and all praise it, but
praise for me? Pm going to be peacock"
THAT you cannot be, replied a veteran old
rooster. as he shook the dust off his back. "You
lack in size and shape. Nature intended you for
hen, aid as hen you are success"
But can dress like peacock" persisted
the hen. I'm sick and tired OF these brown
colors. STE no reason why shouldn't dress
as well as any other fowl"
Arguments and reasons were of no avail and
Mrs. Brown Hen walked away to carry out her
program. In an hour she appeared among
the peacocks with a red ribbon around her
leck, gay feather over her ear and a red
Woollen rag tied around her leg. She Strutted
about and tried to make herself at home, but
one OF the peacocks stepped forward and said
You are simply decelving yourself. We all
know you for hen. While you were acting
the part of hen we all respected you. Now
that you are croWo1ng IN where you dom. be-
loLg and where neither nature nor education
have fitted you, you deserve only contempt"
The hen persisted in trying to be peacock
and "a ste strutted around In her Oorro wed

he ventured everything and gained thereby an
immense step toward success Throwing him

others cannot even get so far as being masters
