The Mother Of Men.

Some one. who had noticed the
influence of wives in promoting the
good or evil fortunes of their hUs-
bands. said: "A man must ask his
wife's leave TO be rich We doubt
not that In similar observation of the
influence OF mothers upon their sons
would Justify the remark: "A man
must ask his mothers leave TO be
great" Years ago, q family of four
"a father, a mother, and two sons,-
dwelt in a small house situated In
the toughest locality OF the rocky
town of Ashford, Connecticut. The
family was very poor. A few acres Of
stony land, a dozen sheep and one
COW supported them. The sheep
clothed them, and the cow gave milk
and did the work of a horse III piow-
ing and narrowing Corn bread
milk and bean porridge was their
fare. The father being laid aside by
i'll health. the burden of supporting
the family rested on the mother. She
did her work In the house and help
ed the boys do theirs on the farm.
Once. in the dead OF winter, one of
the boys required q new suit of
clothes. There was neither money
no wool on hand. The mOthersheared
the half-grown fleece from the sheep,
and in one week the suit was on the
boy. The shorn sheep was protected
from the cold by a garment made of
braided straw. The family lived
four miles from the meeting house"
Yet every Sunday the mother and
her two sons walked to church. One
of these sons became the pastor of
the church at Franklin, Connecticut,
where he preached for sixty-one
years. Two generations went from
that church to make the world better.
The other son also became minister.
and then one of the most successful
OF college presidents, Hundreds of
young men were moulded by him.
That heroic christian woman's name
was Deborah Mott. She was the
mother of Rev. Samuel Mott and
of Eiphalet Mott, president of Union
/ College.

Damp Fuel.

Burning wet or damp wood or coal instead of
dry, is much more wasteful and expensive than
most people imagine, and the subject is worthy
of attention now, when are using much fuel
and are-or ought to be-providing a supply of
wood for the rest Of the year, where wood is
used. An extensive series of experiments
Gently made at Bochum, Germany, shows that
six tons of finely broken dry coal gives much
heat as about seven tons burned as wet it
would he if water were dashed upon it and
drained off for short time. And this is the con-
dition of much coal kept in damp vaults, leaky
sheds ont of doors. The lesson is obvious:
keep the coal in dry place and condition, and
> to l per cent. less, according to fineness will
he needed to obtain the same heat.
There is a good scientific explanation of this.
Water, in changing to steam, cold vapor,
even-that is, in drying of-eoneeals, or makes
latent, about 100 degrees of heat. If heated
to 2l2c, the boiling point, the steam really con-
tains about 100 degrees of heat, although PIP
degrees are sensible shown by the Their
momcter.
The waste of heat is still greater in burning
green OF wet wood. The sap or water uses up
that is carries off in latent state-a very large
portion of the heat produced by its carbon, or
its dry material. As much man and team pow
is required to haul three four cords of green
wood, as for six or eight cords of dry wood. The
lesson is cut the fuel and split il as fine it is
to be used, in the grove; haul it home when
well dried, and keep il in dry place for use.
IL will be worth more for heating purposes than
if burned green or wet, or damp even. The on
~ exception to this advice is, when by reason of
easier hauling on snow and on account of the
leisure of men and teams in winter, it may be
expedicnt to haul home the green wood then;
but in all cases let it be well dried before il is
used
