Mrs. FAIRBANKS of the State Board of
Charities and Reforms visited the county
asylum this week. She made thorough
examination of it and inquired of Supt.
Mueller what opinion the people had of
the institution and particularly Mr.. VIII
Rahr. He replied that he thought they
we're all pleased. She said they had
reason to be as it was the best managed
county asylum in the state and that the
people are entitled to credit for provid-
ing 80 we'll for their insane.

SOME farmers have already begun hay
ing and report the crop somewhat lighter
than the worst predictions seemed to
indicate. One farmer, from twelve acres,
secured only four loads of hay. Some
farmers in anticipation of scarcity, have
purchased baled hay here in the city.
On Friday last about twenty tons of
baled bay was taken out to Maple Grove,
purchased by farmers whose crop this
year is insufficient to meet demands.
The probability is that hay will be quite
high IN this section. But the "second
crop" might remedy things.

EXTENT OF SLAVERY.
Omcfal Reports Regarding the Increase
and Decrease of the Slave Tramc.

Ohicial Reports Regarding the Increase
and Decrease of the Slave Tranc.
A parliamentary blue-book con-
tanning correspondence with British
representatives and agents abroad and
reports from naval officers relative to
the slave trade in 1SS4-S5. has recently
been published by the English Govern
ment. The countries dealt with in the
book are Brazil, Egypt, Morocco, Per-
sia, Portugal. Turkey and Zanzibar.
The accounts from Brazil show that
both slavery and the sale Of slaves were
greatly Oh the decrease. 1t was
reckoned that in April, 1884, the num-
Der of slaves was 1900, 600. and this
was continually decreasing, chiefly by
means of emancipation or ransom. In
Egypt. as Sir. E. Barring informed Earl
Granville, up to the end of january,
1884-the period in question appears to
begin with our occupation-the total
number emancipated was 1856. From
Morocco Sir J. H. Drummond Hay
sends very painful story. The NUNS
ber of slave sales in the early part of
1884 actually trebled in Morocco, and
complaint was made that some OF the
slaves were mutilated in a barbarous
manner. from which numbers of them
perished in horrible agony. The
authorities declared simply that the
abolition OF slavery could not be ef-
fected. Some months later. however.
the Sultan put stop to the public sale
of slaves. On April II, 1884, Sir j. H.
D. Hay informed Earl Granville that
with the exception of the French Minis.
ter, no foreign diplomatic officers had
taken steps to prevent those under
their protection from holding or dealing
in slaves. Before the correspondence
is concluded We find that the Danish
and British agents have warned the
subjects of their respective countries
against the traffic. Complaint is made
of the existence of slave traffic between
the Portuguese possessions in East
Africa and Madagascar and the Comorc
Islands

THE HOT-AIR FURNACE.
A Great Institution for Impatient Mel
and Women.

L
That exasperating gcontrivance known
as the hot-air furnace is again at its
diabolical work in the cellar. Few per-
sons can live through winter in a
home with hot-air furnace and pay
the coal bills without using language
unbecoming husband and father.
tried to get along with one last winter
without having to 60 off every day or
two beyond the hearing of the children
to speak my sentiments in regard to
the hot-air furnace, but held out only
until December 5.
The directions for running hot-air
furnace are quite simple. You begin
by merely buying four or five carloads
of coal and hiring an industrious and
able-bodied boy to shovel it into the
hot-air furnace according to the air
furnaces appetite. Then, if the day
be cold, the family gather around the
kitchen range or go off to a neighbor's
to keep warm.
The hot-air furnace which took into
my home in an unguarded moment
basely deceived me- Warmed it in nv
bosom, as it were. and it turned on me
and tried to freeze me to death. During
the warm, sunny days of autumn it was
quite ardent in its work. 1t made us
hoist all the windows and go out of
doors to cool of. Up to that time had
never seen hot-air furnace work so
hard to show what it could do in the
way of cooking quiet, inoffensive
family in one easy lesson. But we got
along the best we could with it, trying to
feel happy in the thought that neither
cold waves nor blizzards could have
more terrors for us.
One night the first cold wave came
prancing merrily along, and in the
morning we all rushed to the hot-air
registers. But they were not hot-air
registers that morning. They belched
cold air and ashes. Early in the night
the hot-air furnace had consumed its
allowance of fuel and in the midst of
the cold wave it was taking a calm and
peaceful rest. After little time it was
fired up again. and then it heated the
cellar splendidly.
During all that day the hot-air pipes
had reversed draft; they drew well,
exceedingly well. toward the cellar.
We lived in the kitchen until the
cold wave spent its force and was sue.
ceeded by a warm spell, and then our
hot-air furnace again warmed up to its
work. and filled the house with unen-
durable heat. We stopped putting on
coal, hoping the furnace would soon
cool off bit, but it went right
on. working with all its hight
for two days without fresh fuel,
until another cold wave cut short
its heated career. We then built a new
fire in it and set it going again. The
boy who had been secured ut great ex-
pense to feed our hot-air furnace with
coal was faithful to his trust. You could
hear him down cellar working and
merrily singing all day long and far
into the night.
In the spring I gave the coal dealer
the proceeds of sale of my personal
property. including the hot-air furn-
ace. because he insisted that l should.
and for the remainder of my winters
coal bill he was willing to take a mort
gage on my house. | am not now rum

o'clock this morning, that would tell
her OF my love before the sun sank to

She refused to listen to me. Then
