THE PERFECT COAL.
\ Fuel That Burns Anywhere With
out Chimney or Flue.

n Fuel That Burns Anywhere With
outa Chimney or Flue.
Some OF the bravest, most III
rentive minds OF the day have long
studied over the question OF q cheap
clean fuel. Now and then one would
think he had succeeded in solving the
question, but the;e has always been
some point not considered that
would doom it to failure.
But ut last process has been
discovered, and the result is perfect
fuel which will burn anywhere, with
out reference to draught. This fuel
is appropriately called carbonite,
being almost pure carbon. It sends
forth no gases, and is, therefore safe
and wholesome. Physicians indorse
it, as it is particularly adapted to the
requirements OF the sick room, where
an even temperature is necessary.
Almost every house has some room
that it is impossible to heat, and the
value OF n small portable heater,
which can be carried from room to
room, cannot he over-estimated. For
bath rooms, halls, and light house
keeping, too, the comfort of having a.
cheap, wholesome and pleasant FIRE
for cooking and heating, will he great
~ appreciated. Last, but not least,
1t is inexpensive, costing but one cent
ner hour.

ITO BE o0NTINUED)
-PATAOONIAN BABIES.

For Collie or Group the Devil Doc
tor IL ReQuired.
When a little Patagonian is taken
with any OF the long catalogue of in
fanti!e diseases, which are equally as
rampant in the wilds of the antipodes
as they are among the embryo presi-
dents and millionaires OF the United
States, q "devil-exterminator" is
sent for post-haste. That individual,
although his title is not exactly
euphonic to our cultured ears, COM
pares favorably with the IN. DIS" of
civilized countries, both as to the wise
look he puts on when making an ex-
animation of patient and the fees
exacted when the devil has been put
to flight. The dispensatory of Pata-
gonia knows but two remedies for the
diseases of children, animal skins and
common yellow clay, both to be used
at the same time, whether the disease
be in the head or feet OF the little sui.
ferer.
On being called to see a sick child
the Patagonian doctor takes with
him q tight skin bag opened at tho
larger end. Clay is plentiful every
where. While some member of the
family makes a thick batter OF this
yellow earth, the medicine man sits
staring at the sick child, or else shakes
painted rattle in an idiotic fashion
before the little ones face. When the
plaster of clay is ready the child is
smeared from head to foot with it
and then slipped feet first into the bag
before mentioned. Should the child
cease crying before this proceeding
been carried out it is thought to be q
bad sign, an omen that the devil is
still lurking in the child, but is keeping
quiet for fear of Punishment.
On the other hanl, should the child
become calm just as he is being
dragged" the parents and the medi-
cine man think that the "prince of
darkness" has left the body OF the
child in order to escape imprisonment.
In the event OF the last-named contin.
gencies arising the skin bag is inn
mediately closed and tied. The
doctor" then opens another bag and
throws three pebbles and some SER
pent's teeth into it. These are we'll
shaken for a moment, the idea being
to get the devil to Jump into the bag
after the charm, whoreupon it is in
stantly close tied and sunk in the
nearest body OF water.
After this curious rite has been car
ried out to the letter the bag in which
the clay-besmeared child has been de-
posted may be opened. Ii the little
savage has not already been smother
ed to death by being confined in the
bag during the lamentations OF the
medicine man, it is thoroughly wash
ed and wrapped in a clean. warm skin,
the hide OF a "muley" white bull, kill
ed in the new moon, being preferable.
Strange as it may seem, this treat
ment usually cures. the water being
the prime factor in restoring health,
no doubt. Should death ensue the
doctor tells the bereaved parents that
two devils wero after the child, and
that all the medical science in the
world is not equal to the task OF cop
ing with two OF the imps OF the infer
nal regions.
