Wood for Fuel.

This country is more abundantly sup
piled with fuel than almost any portion
of the habitable earth. There is also a
greater variety of substances that can
be employed for generating heat. We
have anthracite, bituminous, semi-bitu-
minous, and camel coal. We have
vast peat deposits that have never been
utilized. A large portion OF our terri
tory is covered with forests that fur
nish excellent wood for fuel. Petrole-
um is abundant and cheap, and both
the crude and the refined oil are ex-
tensively used for feeding fires. Naph-
tina, which is derived from petroleum,
is also employed for using in stoves EN-.
ployed for cooking food and general
heat. On many farms sufficient
amount of corn-cobs is produced for
supplying the kitchen fire. Sunflowers
are easily raised, and their stalks and
heads make excellent fuel. We know
little of the cost of keeping warm dur
ing cold weather that must be met by
the people of other countries. Few OF
our people are obliged to practice
much economy in the use of fuel. They
are able to warm all the rooms in their

The New Year.

The following verses relating to the
opening of the new year, will doubtless
be acceptable to many of our readers
at this time:
"A flower unblown; Book unread
A Tree with fruit unharvested
A Path untrod a house whose rooms
Lack yet the hearts divine perfumes;
A Landscape whose wide boarder lies
In silent shade meath silent skies:
A wonderous Fountain yet unsealed
A Casket with its gifts concealed;
This is the year that for you waits
Beyond to-morrow's mystic gates.
Oh, may this Flower unfold to you
Visions Of beauty sweet and new;
This Book on golden pages trace
Your sacred joys and deeds of grace;
May all the fruit of this strange Tree
Luscious and rosy-tinted be;
This Path through fields of knowledge go
This house with loves content o'erfiow
This Landscape glitter with the dew
OF blessed hopes and friendships true;
This Fountains living crystal cheer,
As fail the springs that once were dear
This Casket with such gems be stored
AS shine in lives that love the Lord
