MANAGING STOVES.
A III manufacturer Tells How Accidents
May BE Avoided.
from the Toronto Globe.

From the Toronto Globe.
LIS SAD That so many accidents
should be reported Just low arising
from stove gas" said a stove manufac
Iufer and inventor to a Globe repre-
sentative yesterday. . The whole
trouble lies with the old. cbeap stoves
There is no danger with q frst-cIass
base burner. These have = cbamhn,,
between the coal reservoir and the out
size OF the stove, up which the GAS as
cends, and is afterwards drawn down
INTO the fire and consumed tt IS
great mistake to imagine. as Is Gen.
orally understood, that the GAS makes
It's way up the center of the stove. On
the contrary, it goes close to the sides
ana the chamber thus receives ii. The
same principle applies to q stove as to
a chImney-In neither case does it as
cend IN the center, but in circles round
The SIDES. Since the accident from coal

base burner during two nights. andno
trouble has resulted. Now cheap stoves
are only slngle-therei is no gas cham

RAPIDLY made, and as there is no ar
rangement in which it can be temper
ally held and subsequentlyd drawn back
OF the live Goals and consumed, it
necessarily escapes into the room. If
the gass did not find its way out
through the joints the stove would
be blown to atoms.
VI course, poor people cannot buy ex-
penslve, tirst-class stoves. And as cheap
stoves do not possess protective applian-
ces, little care is needful. The only
precautlon necessary, however, is to
open all draughts whenever fresh coal
ls,put IN. AS to the propriety of issuing
printed instructions with stoves, as is
done IN the case of sewing
and even lawn mowers, [ think they
would be of little use. The working
of stoves is always fully and carefully
explained when sales are made. If
the hampers are closed by mistake no
danger arises with frst-class base
burner. AS to second class stoves.
which are the cause of accidents. all
the instructions given would consist of
an injunction to open the draughts
when feeding the stove, and keep them
open for fifteen minutes afterwards. |
have invented several improvements
in connection with stoves, and have
been engaged in their construction and
sale for many years. Here is a hint
IN regard to running cooking stoves
and ranges at night. It is easy to
keep the cooking range in at night with
tritling consumption of coal Fill up
the stove at a late hour and rise slight
ly the covers in the second row. The
gas will not escape, for the draught
will be inward, and in fact the atmos-
phere of the room will be improved
rather than thereverse. Scarcely any
coal will be consumed, the fire will be
in, and by putting on tho front draught
breakfast can soon be made ready

Wanted @ Good Lock at Him.

A writer in The Washington Post
relates that when Mr.. Rounds was
first appointed Government printer
his good nature made him an especial
object for torment by people who had
friends to be cared for. For some
months he knew no rest from this
kind Of worry. One day a correspon-
dent asked him for some special infor-
nation. He at first declined to give
it. Then when the cOrrespondentsaid
he was going to the Committee on
Printing, Mr. Rounds said: "Wait
until to morrow and perhaps [ can ac-
cOmmodate you without that trouble.
The next night Mr. Rounds was seated
in an armchair upon the Ebbitt House
corner, gasping for a breath of the
breeze from the Potomac The cor
respondent, who was going home, saw
him, and going up to him, said: 'How
about that little matter about which [
spoke to you yesterday" Mr.. Rounds
stared feebly at the qucstioner and
said: LII try and get your lady
friend appointed as soon as I can. "
''But [ have no lady friend. [ don't
want any appointment Mr.. Rounds
at this jumped from his chair, seized
the correspondent by the hand, and
walked him out under the full light
of the gas-lamp on the corner as he
said: II want to take a good look at
a man who lives in Washington and
who hasn't a young lady friend whom
he wants appointed in the Govern
ment Printing Office"

Trout Spawning.
Potter Enterprise.


For several weeks past, on bright
days, a beautiful sight was to be wit
messed at Ellison's mill. The tail-race
of the mill has a very fine gravel bot
tom, the water is not very deep, and
just swift enough to form nice ripple.
On a bright day from fifteen to thirty
large trout may be seen on this nat
ural bed spawning, The trout will
run from six to fourteen inches in
length. The smaller trout keep on the
edge of the race, and occasionally make
a dash for the spawring-be nosing
up the gravel and swallowing such
spawn as comes in the way. Then
there is trouble. The old mother trout
makes a dash, and unless the small
one is very spry he feels the teeth Of
the old one in a manner evidently not
very pleasing to the spawn thief.
These sklrmishes occur often, for there
is nothing a trout likes better than
trout spawn, and if the beds were not
watched by old trout very few o. the
spawn would reach swimming age.

Not spoiled.
I nn1O,1 World

Reginald Easton, the celebrated
miniature painter, has just completed
for the Prince of Wales a miniature
of the world renowned young beauty,
Miss Jennie Chamberlain. It is re
markably beautiful, and shows to
great advantage her wonderful beauty
and exquisite coloring. His Royal
Highness is much pleased with the
likeness, and has ordered it encased
il a delicate gold frame encircled with
real pearls. Mr. Easton says it is al
most impossible for an artist to JUS
tice to the young American beauty's
perfect face and sweet expression.
Mr. Chamberlain will not allow his
daughters photographs to be sold
and the Prince of Wales and several
other members strongly disapprove of
Miss Chamberlain's lovely face being
seen in the shop windows. The young
lady seems to be more in demand than
ever, and she and her mother, are
paying a series of visits in English
country houses. 1t is a great advan-
tage to be SO lovely, and a great and
rare quality not to be spoiled by such
adulation.

dealers have been fined $4OO each for
violation of the prohibition law. They

Three other cases already appealed

quence is that there are more soloons
now in Kansas than before the prohi-
bition amendment was adopted.

New York Special to Chicago Times.
The Pos tmas ter general has ordered that
the mail matter addressed to the New Or
leans National Bank shall not be delivered
for the reason, as he alleges, that it is prac-
tically the agent of the Louisiana Lottery
Company. The bank, however, receives its
mails, State court having granted an in
junction against the New Orleans postmas-
ter's compliance with that order A settle
ment OF the question as to the rights of the
bank will have to be reached in United
States court. Mr.. A. Baldwin, president Of
the bank, is at present in New York on bust
ness. In conversation to-day with the Times
correspondent he gave an explanation
of the peculiar position in which
the financial institution represented by him
had been placed by the order of the Post
master-general. Mr.. Baldwin said: THE
bank of which l am president does business
for the Louisiana Lottery Company just as
it does business for any other customer. The
company deposits money in the bank, and
receives such favors as depositors are accus-
toned to ask and obtain. The company
keeps deposit account in the bank, and if
money is sent to the bank with instructions
to have it passed to the company's account,
of course the instructions of the sender are
complied with, just as they would be of any
other case of similar kind"
What is the object of the present pend
ing suit brought by the bank?'
I'VE intend to establish the principle that
the Postmaster-general has no right to inter-
fere with a legitimate banking business, and
that he has no authority to detain the CORE
spondence of a bank because ne may suspect
that within some of the envelopes addressed
to it there may be something which he does
not wish to have pass through the mails"

Another Clothing Failure.

New YORK, Oct 1.-Coleman Brothers,
clothiers, New York and San Francisco have
made an assignment for the benefit of their
creditors; liabilities, $500, 900. At the New
York house it was said that statement
could be made here in regard to the liabili-
ties or assets, the main house being in San
Francisco. The concern was devoted to
manufacturing. Nothing was learned in re-
gard to the causes of the failure but it is
said it had no connection with the recent
failures in clothing. The firm was estab-
lished in this city and San Francisco in 1853.
The assignment was made in the latter city
