THE FURNACE FIRE.



Greatest Benefit
The furnace fire should be shaken
down and raked perfectly clear in The
morning. A few shovelfuls of coal
should be put on an all the drafts
opened. The ashes should then be
taken up As soon as the coal begins
to burn we and the fire looks clear at
the bottom. put in enough coal to come
almost to the top of the fre-pot Keep
: tse drafts epea until all the gas has
burned off; then close them, and later,
if the fire be too hot, open the checks.
Except in extreme cold weather this is
all the attention that ought to be
necessary through the, day. The fire
must be raked down and fresh coal or
cnders put on in the evening. but a
small amount of coal win answer for
the night, unless the drafts have been
open the greater part Of the dav.
On an extremely cold day it may be
necessary to have the drafts open part
of the time and some coal put ON at
noon.
All tho clinkers should be removed
when the fire is raked down in the

careless people leave the ashes for day

where they absorb the heat, robbs;ig

If the furnace fire be allowed 70
burn to white heat it will be ruined
for the day unless more coal be put on
little later. The cold-air boxes mu. t
admit enough air 10 drive the hot air
through the house, but not more thai

Heating stoves and open CRATES are u

same as a furnace. With the stove
there is no trouble, there being plenty
of checks and drafts. The open CRATE

Destruction of Germs In water.

The steri .izing of water is easily az
conplishc | b. keeping it at or near the
boiling point for fiftee minutes; fivc
minutes heat is sufficient t5 destroy
all harmful micro-organisms; still less
time suffices to destroy the diseasc-prn-
ducing varieties which are recognized
as lab to occur in water. Thus,
merely raising to the boiling point q
clear water containing the micro, r
ganisms of malarial disorders, typhoid,
cholera, diphthcria, or of suppurativc
processes, and allowing it to gradua; ly
cool, insures the destruction of these
germs; they are also destroyed by
keeping the water for from quarter
to half an hour at a temperature OF no
degrees f., though occasionally rery
resis ant but harmless bacteria may
get into water The brief heating,
however, renders them safe for drlnk-
ing purpo les; but when it is desired to
destroy every micro-organis that inay
be present in contaminated water, it
is to. be heated for one hour, and al
lowedsto cool slowly. when it may be
used for cleansing wounds or for aka
loidal solutions. Boston Budget

Funny Ans,cerS.

Some time ago n little book with the IT,
tie. English as She Is Taught" was is
sued by one Of the largest publishing
houses. It's unconscious wi surpassed the
effort of those who would be witty. Some
indeed thought it the work OF great gem
us in humor. But the book was what it
claimed to be-answers given by the chill
dren of our common schools to question put
to them at examinations.
While the writer was one of the examin-
ers for teachers for - county, in the state
of -, he, on examining the papers sent
in by would-be teachers, found answers
which equal those of English as She Is
Taught" Thus:
Q.-What invention aided in making
possible the discovery of America?
A.-The invention Of the steamboat

cities of the northwest, and state the cause

tom of ALL
Q.-Name five countries represented in
the all American congress.
A.-Japan, France, England, Venezulia,
Gautamalia
Q.-Why have the inhabitants Of the
polar region six months of day and six
months of night?
A.-The earth revolveS SO slowly at the
polls, the earth being smaller at that point.
Another gave this answer:
A.-The earth revolving on its axis only
reaches them once year.
And another gave this answer:
A.-Because it is so far from the center
of the earth that the sun is on the other
side of the earth six months.
Q.-What is a diphthong?

and even in the telescope was nothing put
a mere speck, showing a little disc less
than four seconds in diameter-not 70
large as that of Uranus. Now it is fully
fifty times as bright, and its disc is seven
times as large.
At present the planet is ar extremely
beautiful object even in a small Telescope;
the surface is delioately tinted with various
shades of color prevailinglv ruddy, though
there are spots OF blush green. m some
which are dszzlingly white. In fact the
most striking feature at present IL the

be ice or snow, which covers the south pole
of the planet. II 10 unusually large this

northern pole is now tipped away from the

the edge Of the disc.
Next to the ice-cap the greenlsh seas n

They girdle the planets equator almost

them are shaped much like the bay OF Bon

rock presenting tints that add a charming
variety to the view. On the average. how
ever. the color, according to Prof, Picker
ing, il pretty accurately matched by that
of the standard New Jersey mud.
Another feature of the planet about
which there has been a great deal said of
late, ia a system of canals" az they have
been called by their discoverer. Schiapar-
ELI, a Milanese astronomer. According to
him they look like fine hair-like lines.
some Of which appear to run out foom the
points of the bays or CULTS, while others
Cross them in various directions covering
the whole land surface with an intricate
network. Most singular of all, he repo't is
