CHARCOAL.
A Supplanted ProduCt-The Few Uses to
Which 1t Is Now Put.

Supplanted ProduCt-The Few Uses to
Which 1t Is Now Put.
A wholesale dealer in charcoal says
that not one barrel of charcoal is sold
in New York now where five barrels
were sold forty years ago. Then every
grocer sold charcoal; you could buy
three cents worth or five cents worth
anywhere. In every grocery, if you
looked overhead, you would see clay
furnaces such as were then commonly
used to burn charcoal in for various
household purposes. Charcoal was then
used almost altogether to start fires
with. Wagons went about the streets
with charcoal to sell, and the cry of
the charcoal man was one of the famil-
lar cries of the city.
The charcoal business has been on
the decline for thirty years Its first
great start downward came with the
introduction of ltindling wood, a bust
ness that has now grown to large pro-
portions Kindling wood has, in this
city, almost entirely taken the place of
charcoal in its ordinary domestic uses.
Nowadays charcoal is hardly used any
where except in hotels, and by plumb
ers, tin roofers and coppersmiths. Ho-
tells use it for broiling; a tirst-class
French cook in hotel won't cook un-
less you give him charcoal fire to
broil with. 1t is used for this purpose in
some private houses but not in many.
Most of the soft-wood charcoal that
is used here comes from New Jersey
and Delaware, all by rail Thirty-fve
years ago there were thirty schooners
engaged in bringing charcoal to this
market; now there is not one. Most of
the hardwood charcoal used here
comes from chemical factories in Della
ware county, this state, where the
wood has been treated for wood alco-
hol and acetate of lime. Seven-eighths
of the hotels in New York use this
coal, but perhaps little less is sold
every year. for even in first-class hotels
gas is to some extent taking its place.
Charcoal has other uses, however
Placed in retorts or kilns it is subjected
to fire in such way as to get the gas
out of it and make it as near carbon as
| possible. 1t is then ground in differ.
ent grades of tineness and sold to dis
tillers for use in rectifying high wines.
Granulated charcoal is sold to ice
manufacturers for use in fltering
water. The use of ice machines is in
creasing in the north as we'll as in the
south, and New York granulated char
coal is shipped to all parts of the couu-
try. That trade is increasingly Y. sun.

AT LAST.
Ills Opportunity Had Come and He Seized
1t at Once.

'Be seated, sir.
As the speaker, a man slightly over
two score, his hair tinged with gray,
addressed these words to the young
man who stood before him, his face as
sumed slightly satirical expression,
and brushing aside the papers that lit
tered his desk, he said:
Young man, it is possible that you
may think me entirely ignorant OF the
errand which has brought you to my
office to-day, but allow me to say at
the start that because l have been 81
lent have by no means been blind to
your actions.
''Your attentions to my daughter,
sir, during the past few weeks have not
ESCAPED me, and it has been the sub
iect of much concern on my part. How
YOU obtained an introduction to her l
know not, but that it came wholly I'M
solicited on her part | am most certain.
Suffice it to say that the mischief has
been done. Now, sir, that we under
stand each other, what have you to say
for yourself?'
While the elder man had been speak
ing the face Of his youthful visitor had
assumed an expression of intense earn
estness, which now relaxed somewhat,
and a light smile played over his placid
features. Leaning slightly forward,
he observed:
"As | understand it, sir, you are
slightly under forty-fve Habits reg
ular, lungs sound, no heart trouble, no
inherited disease, nothing" he added,
earnestly, looking anXiously into the
face of the other, that is likely to
carry you off suddenly is there?"
"No, sir!" Numbered his companion.
"YYhat do you mean? All, l see" he
muttered, a sudden CLEAN of intelli-
gence coming into his eyes, $50 you
are already counting my wealth in
your minds eye and gloating over the
fortune that one day may be yours.
Do you suppose, you impudent puppy,
that there is the slightest possible
chance of your marrying my daugh-
ter?"
AS he spoke the young man had
risen, and drawing himself up to his
full height and looking the enraged
parent full in the face, he replied:
Nothing is further from my thoughts.
Your daughter, sir is most charming
and accomplished young woman, and |
may say, sir, that 1 have experienced
feelings and emotions which it would
be unmanly in me to disavow. But,
much as 1 esteem her, the subject of
love has never been discussed between
us. l have taken this opportunity of
gaining an introduction to you to dis
cuss another and far more important
matter"
"And what may that be?" said the
other man.
ct is this" replied the youthful
visitor, rapidly drawing a printed
schedule from his side pocket. 81 want

A Spring Tonic.

A raw egg is an excellent tonic with
which to begin the warm spring days.
1t is strengthening and tends to pre-
vent that tired feeling so prevalent at
this season of the year. If prepared
in the following way it is really de-
licious drink: Put the yolk of an egg
into dish with teaspoonful of white
sugar and a teaspoonful of orange or
lemon juice, and beat lightly together
with fork. Put the whites on plate
and add pinch of salt; then, with a
broad bladed knife beat it to stiff
froth. Now, as lightly as possible, mix
all together in dish; then as lightly
transfer it to clean tumbler, which it
will nearly fill if properly made. 1t
must not stand in a warm place, as it
soon becomes liquid and loses its snowy
look. Any fruit juice may be used in
place Of orange or lemon, or even BRAN

In Adversely.

Cheer up! The world is not all dark
ness and despair, This day may be
dark enough to many Without much
to eat, with little to wear, out of work,
with no friends to help, the temptation
may be strong to despair of relief and
fly for it from the ills we feel to those
we know not. But is that not coward
ly? Is it brave and manly to yield 20
the worst foe we have, without deter
mined struggle? Better days are not
far off from brave hearts determined
to do right. Times are indeed hard,
business has come to a standstill, but
the world has money enough, and hui
man wants have not diminished When
the stock of every kind of productions
has become exhausted, and that time
is approaching, business will start up
to supply the want, and there will be
the same old call for willing, skillful
hands that there has been in successive
seasons of the same kind in the past.
Having food and raiment Herewith be
content until better day shall dawn,
which will not be long. More than
half our wants are artificial anyway
and it is one of Gods ways of training
people to better habits, by putting it
out of their power to crafty every
within. They learn in the school of adj
versity to curb the desires of the flesh
and mind which have proved snare
and curse to so many.-Detroit Free

A PECULIAR INCIDENT.
The Dying Man Thought His Children Ha'
Come Back.

The Dying Man Thought His Children Had
Come Back.
A peculiar incident in the life of
Rev. Thomas J. Berry, rector of St
AIMS Catholic church. has been
brought to mind through the somewhat
similar story published recently of the
death in Washington of FIR. Walters
who was prominently connected with
the famous Surratt case The event
referred to occurred when FIR Berry
was rector of the church of Our Lady
of Visitation, at Lehigh avenue and
Leamy street.
One stormy night after FIR. Berry
had retired, he was awakened by his
housekeeper who said that she had
heard the bell in the sanctuary ring
ing He told her that she must have
been dreaming, but she stoutly denied
this and babe him listen. Sure enough,
they soon heard the bell ring as if by a
person in great haste. FIR. Berry, how
ever, thought they were burglars in
the church, and dressing hastily he
took a light and boldly entered the
building.
What was his surprise to see kneel-
ing before the altar two small, poorly
clad children, their faces wet with
tears, who seemed to have been pray
ing When asked what they were do
ing there at such an unearthly hour,
they replied that they had come for
the father to administer the last sacra-
ment.
Father Berry took the fathers name
and went in haste to the hospital.
When he explained his errand, the SUI
perintendent expressed great surprise
He said that there was a man dying in
the hospital by the name Father Berry
had mentioned, but that no one had
been sent for the priest.
The priest was taken to the side of a
cot on which lay man with a wan,
wasted face.
who are you?" demanded the man
in weak voice as the priest approached
him.
81 am priest-did you not send for
me few moments ago?"
"You are mistaken" the man whis-
pered; 81 did not send for you'll have
no one to send-I am all alone in the
world am dying"
"That is strange" replied the priest,
''for l found two children in the
church. They had rung the bell and
they told me that their father lay here
dying, and gave me your name"
SIS it possible?" gasped the man,
springing up in bed. 1.-TWO children,
did you say? What did they look like"
Their appearance was described in a
few words, and as the man listened
his head dropped upon his bosom
Tears poured from his eyes, and he
tried to speak. At last, with great
effort, he cried:
"They are my children-the children
I buried-come back from Heaven to
help save my soul" With this he fell
back dead. Philadelphia Times.
