From statistics recently complied 1t is easy
to see how large an economy can be eff

At a meeting of a paper manufacturing
firm not long since it was stated that the
firm used $50 tons of coal a week and that
an increase in the price of coal made an
increase of $4,000 per annum in the fuel
bill, and subsequent reduction of 4 per
cent in the dividend. A very moderate
estimate of the value of a heater which
raises the feed water from a normal TEN.

WINTER WEATHER.
WILLIAM BARNE.

When stems of elms may rise in row,
Dark brown, from hillocks under STOW,
And woods may re 4ch a. black as light,
By slopIng fields of cieanest white:
If shooters by the snowy rick,
Where trees are high and wood is thick,
Can mark the tracks the game may prick
They like the winter weather
Or where may spread the gray blue sheet
of ice, for skaters's gliding feet,
That they uplIff, from side to side;
Long yards. and sit them down TO slide;
OF sliders, one that totters slack
OF limb, and one that on his back.
And one upright that keeps his track,
Have fun in winter weather.
When we PIT night in snow and gloom,
May seek sore neighbour room.
Though snow may show no path before
The house, we still can find the door,
And there. around the brands may spread
The creeping fire of CHEEKY red,
Our feet from snow. from wind our head,
Are warm in winter weather
Wherever day may give our road,
BY hills or hollows oversnowed:
BY windy gaps or sheltere3 hooks.
Or bridged ice Or frozen brooks,
Still may we all, as night may come,
Know where TO find a peaceful home,
And glowing Fl e for fingers numb
With cold in winter weather.
