Modern Furnace and Modern Stove.


A little over century ago Mr.. Street.
of London. took up the old Roman idea
of a hypocaust and made furnace,
which was warranted to warm all parts
of the house, to conserve the heat and
save the fuel, and to overcome all the OBJ
jections against stoves and braziers He
must have had good time fulfilling his
guarantees. for the best furnace makers
of this later age cannot always accom-
plish all they desire or all that Mr. Street
promised. But in any one of a dozen
good furnaces the problem of heating Is
perhaps as well settled as it ever can be
while we get our heat from burning fuel
But the furnace has by no means
driven the older stove out of use. Never
was the enterprise of stovemaking car
ried on to SO great extent as now. Never
were SO many stoves made and sold.
never were such skill and art expended
in their manufacture. and never were
they such things of beauty as now The
modern parlor heater is a triumph no
less in art than in utility To the very
greatest possible extent it controls the
heat generated. reducing and almost
suspending combustion, conveying the
gases away perfectly, and even aiding in
the work of purifying the atmosphere of
the room, and at the same time intense
heat can be produced with the minimum
of trouble.-Chicago Herald

washington's Sword

When John Brown went to conquer
the south with twenty-three men he be-
lieved that the less he trusted arms of
flesh the more Jehovah might be de-
pended on to unsheathe his sword The
only other sword Brown considered
worthy to be used by the Almighty was
that which Washington was sid to have
received, from Frederick the Great. One
of Browns men Cook came as spy to
Bel Air, and was Hospitality shown the
Washington relics for which he in
quired. Brown told Colonel Washing
ton, after taking him prisoner. that he
wished to get hold of the sword ''be-
cause it has been used by two successful
generals" The superstition cost him
dear. In order to get the sword Brown
detached six of his men to go after it
Eve miles away. He thus lost half a
day, and all chance of escape Seven
teen lives were offered as on an altar be-
fore this mythical sword. Century

But we were wed when skies wexe b1uo
And summer days were long.
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared to WOO and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped on dewberries
Or slept among the hay;
But oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out TO hear us play
The rare old tunes, the dear old tunes.
We could not starve for long.

And my sweet love song.

The Keyes election bill passed by the
Legislature p1oviies that the voter
shall place cross opposite the name Of
every candidate he desires to vote for.
The Democrats don't like this provision
because, as they say, il will disfranchise

is . confession that they desire to take
advantage Of the ignorance that prev
