A spanish Marriage.

From the election of Pope Joan to tho
claims against the estate of Cardinal Antonelli
there have been many delicate cases before
the Roman Curia, but none would have been
more delicate than that of the Countess san
Antonio, who asked the French courts for
alimsny in appealing to the sacred college to
cancel her marriage. Her husband was the
son of that historic lady-killer Marshal Ser
rano, of Spain, and seems to have inherited so
few of the murshaps powers of fascination
that his wife first cried, then sulked, then ran
away. Her suit was denied ON the ground
that she was q foreigner, and truly il would
Spain who found that coniugal life was not
always accompanied by mandolins, castinets,
and serenades in the moonlight should be
allowed to invite the sacred college to peep
into the mysteries of her boudoir.

BREAKFAST BITS.
SHE LOVED TOO WELL.


In Colorado Springs did dwell
once on a time daohing belle,
Whose name was Hannah Hunniwell.
A blooming, buxom lass was she,
And she was sweet as sweet could be-
So all the fellows did agree.
But Hannah Hunniwell was vain;
Tint fact, alas was all too plain,
And caused her family much pain.
For Hannah laid uncommon stress
Upon the vanity of dress
a weakness Of her sex, we guess.
She had lovely soalskin sacque
That often graced her comely back,
And scaled her doom at last, alacI
For when the wintry winds did blow,
prognosiioating ice and snow,
Unto her trunk did Hannah 60,
And straight she hauled that sealskin out,
And, with premonitory 1out,
She put the noisOmo moths to rout.
"Now blow, ye winds" quoth Hannah gay,
$50 long as in my sacque may
Go gallivnnting all the dayw ui1
Alas, the poor, misguided childl I'd as
The sun appeured-the tempest wild
Was luled into a zephyr mild. ..
TheD Hannah waNed uncommon pale,
And walled great and grevous wall
10 sec her pct ambition fail.
Much to her familys dismay
She stayed at home day AFTER day.
And, as she stayed, she pined away.
And still the weather milder grew,
The gentle south wind balmy blew,
And warmed the people thro' aud thro',
And while oil other folks were glad,
Poor Hannah Bunniwell was sad
Or, what was sadder yet, was mad.
And SO one calm, soft evenude,
She pressed her sealsRin to her side,
And, with hollow sob, she diedl
The chattcrlng gossips love TO tell
The fate Ofthat vain, foolish belle
Who loved her sealskin sacque too we'll.

Large Loss In Using 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 we are using much fuel, and
are-or ought to be-providing o sup
ply of wood for the rest of the year,
where fuel is used. An extensive series
of experiments. recently made at b.
chum. Germany. shows that six tons of
finely broken dry coal gives as much
heat as about seven tons burned as wet
as it could be if water were dashed
upon it and drained Oft for short time.
And this is the condition of much coal
kept in damp vaults, leaky sheds, or out
Of-doors. The lesson is obvious: keep
the coal in dry place and condition,
and five to fourteen per cent. less, ac-
cording to its tineness, will be needed
to obtain the same heat.
There is good scientific explanation
of this. Water, in changing to steam,
or cold vapor even that is, in drying
OH-cOncealS, or makes latent, about
1000 degrees of heat. If heated to
2l2o, the boiling point. the steam real
ly contains about l. 200 degree OF heat.
OuAS az uCSACOo tIO SCASlUAC,
or are shownby the thermometer.
The waste of heat is still greater in
burning green or 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 men and team
power is required to haul three or four
cords of green wood as for six or eight
cords of dry wood. The lesson is, cut
the fuel. and split it as finely as it is to
be used, in the grove; haul it home
when well dried, and keep it in dry
place for use. 1t will be worth far more
for heating purposes than ii burned
green, or wet, or damp even. The only
exception to this advice is. when by
reason of easier hauling on snow. and
OH account of the leisure of men and
teams in winter, it may lie expedient to
haul home the green wood then; but in
all cases let it be well dried before it il
used. -American Agriculturist..
