Tho Use of Natural Gas for Heating and
S "a Lighting Purposes.

The Use OF Natural Gas for Heating and
s p Nl Lighting Purposes.
The use of natural gas is increasing
in the. East, and already plays most
important part in the system of lighting
and heating. 1t is said by New York
newspaper that by New Years nearly
one-haf of the dwellings, in the city OF
Rochester will use it for domestic pur-
poses. The same paper says that natural
gas was lately introduced into Beaver
Falls, being used as a fuel by steel
manufactory, whose annual expense for
fuel has hitherto been some $500
Last month several new veins were
struck near Pittsburgh, adding consid-
erably to the supply which that city al.
ready possesses.
1t Is asserted that the supply and use
Of natural gas by the city Of Pittsburgh
is so large that 1t promises to revolu-
tionize some Of the essential character
istics Of that city. Many manufacture
ing establishments use it for fuel, with
the result that very large portion of
the dense smoke which for many years
has overhung and destroyed the beauty
OF the place has disappeared. The cost
of this gas is fixed at the same as tho
cost of coal used as fuel; but even at the
same price there is great economy.
There Is no coal to be hauled, no ashes
to be disposed of. and perfect cleanli-
ness takes the place Of the smoky at
mosphere. The use of the new fuel
being success both in dwellings and
manufactures, the only question of i'm
pOrtance that remaina IL aa IN the dnra
tion OF the supply. Experts claim that
there will be no material diminution in
the next twenty years. Chicago Timer

If mothers educated their daughters
10 think more honorably of housework,
we would not have so many inefficient
housekeepers, but if the mother is eff.
cient in the control of her home, she
had rather do the work than have the

getting that this is an injustice to them
as well as to herself, and she can no
more neglect this part of her education
than she can neglect their education

to7understand that to be an adept in. the
art of sewing, plain or otherwise, is as
great an Accomplishment as music and

Relic of the Days of Druidism--Az 8usi-
rf - ness Legend. gt NtIf
In TIE old-fashioned English families a
branch of the mistletoe is suspended on
Christmas eve from the ceiling of theshall.
Amy woman who passes beneath the mystic
spray incurs the penalty Of being then and
there kissed by,any man who chooses to
avail himself of the privilege. One of the
superstitions associated with the custom is
that the maid who is not thus kissed at
Christmas wilinot be married during the
year.
The hanging of the mistletoelis relic, of
the days of Druidism handed down through
centuries. The Druids reverenced the
plant when found on the oak, the favorite
tree of theirdiyinity Tutanes. AT the win
n solstice great festival was celebrated in
his honor. The people, led by their priests,
the Druids, went in procession to gather the
mistletoe; when the oak was reached on
which 1t grew two white bulls were bound
to tree. The Chief Druid, clothed ip
white, ascended it. and with a golden knife
cut the sacred plant, which was caught by
another priest in the fold of his robe, .,,
The bulls, and often human victims, were
sacrificed, and the mistletOe, divided into
small pieces, was distributed among the peo
pie. They hung the sprays over the doors
of their houses as a Precipitation and SHELTER
to- the sylvan delties during the season OF
cold. H7rtv .-a -,m r'fs
In the Scandinavian mythology the mis-
tletoe is a plant of no mean importance, so
the legend relates. having been the instru-
ment of tho staying Balder, the god of elo-
quence and poetry. po Il. t... .,a,.. II. NJ.

Loake his enemy, seeing that not one of
his arrows, which fell in showers upon
Balder, did him the least harm, determined
to discover the secret of his inyulnerabilhy.
