WOOD INSTEAD OF COAL.
Consumers Putting in Stoves to Use the
Cheaper Fuel.

Consumers Putting in Stoves to Use the
Cheaper Fuel.
The price of hard coal is 1918 per ton,
cents before the heavy consumption
period sets in. This has induced con-
sumers at West Superior, Wis, to dis
card their coal stoves and substitute
wood burners as matter of economy.
Wood is cheaper than usual, owing to
the increased number of men cutting it
in the forests surrounding the city, and
there is a feeling among residents that
by burning wood they are helping the
laborers, because the more wood con-
sumed the more work there is for the
unemployed, and at the same time there
is no probability of prices going up as a
consequence of the demand.
The city of Superior is likely to take
action at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil which will not only have the effect
of furnishing employment for many
men in the woods, but will also save the
municipality hundreds of dollars.
1t is proposed to burn wood exclu-
sively in all the fire stations of the city
and in all other public buildings where
the heating plants will permit of the
change. This contemplated action may
be followed by the county of Douglas
and if the movement extends much
farther the retail coal dealers will have
reason to complain.

Eject of opsn-Air Exercise on Longevity

VI oPOh-1A oh A<oh6O'hsy
NJ. Sargent, of England, has published
some remarkable facts showing the in
fuence of outdoor occupations and ex-
ercise in lessening the rate of mortal
ity; and that of all indoor occups-
lions, if long continued, in raising the
rate of mortality among the classes fol-
lowing them. The greater longevity Of
persons living in the country appears
to be almost wholly due to the fact that
the greater portion of time is spent
out of doors. Though occasionally ex-
posed to all sorts of inclement weather,
these ruralists attain q much greater
average longevity than any class Of pro-
fessional men. tradesmen, shopkeepers
or mechanics who spend the greater
portion of their days working or sitting
in a confined atmosphere. 1t is even
shown by Mr.. Sargent's splendid array
of statistics that the city scavengers
and sewer men, who are daily exposed
to all kinds of foul odors, are longer
lived than the tradesmen and profess
sional people, owing, no doubt, to the
vital influence eff the open air in Which
they spend most of their time.-St

STREET ORATOR ouTwITTED.
Iowa Men Force Him to Talk from q
Moving Platform


Down at Lohrville, Ia, the citizens
are weary of politics. But the poll
ticiahs are not. From morn till night
enthusiastic curbstone orators have
been wont to stand on every corner lay
ing down the law to all who fail to agree
with them politically.
Finally an ingenious business man
hit upon a scheme for breaking the
monotony. He confided in few
friends, and not many hours later a
small movable platform had been rugged
up and stored on a convent vacant lot
the stiffness was broken by a Bryan
shouter on prominent corner eXpound.
ing his financial doctrines to tired.
looking group of listeners. Then was
the opportunity of the advocates of law
and order. A dozen resolute men
dragged out the platform, hurried to
the seat of war and insisted that if the
speaker wished to continue he must
mount the platform. They had no OBJ
lection to his talking, but he must do
it from that platform or shut up.
The speaker protested in vain. I'm
less he accepted their terms the regu-
lators vowed they would themselves
lift him on to the stagingand force him
to talk whether he would or no. The
Bryan man succumbed, and for the rest
of the day there was peace. Since then
there hos been little financial discus
sion on the streets.
One or two enthusiasts have tried
talking from the platform, but the sight
is SO ridiculous that their words were
drowned in shouts of laughter. The
residents are talking of running the in

Body of an Insured Man Rescued from

The big dissecting-room of the Col"
lege of Physicians and Surgeons the
other afternoon was filled with students
working away with scalpels over a
dozen corpses fresh from the watts. On
one of these stone tables fresh SUBJ
ject had been laid. To toe was tied
a card which bore the name that he
had borne in life-Daniel Murphy.
The two first-year men who were as
signed to this subject did not bother
about his past. They simply smoked
their cigarettes and began at him with
the scalpel. They were cutting away
and smoking away, when the door of
the room flew open and the professor Of
anatomy ran in, with a tall man at his
heels. The professor called one of the
men who had charge of the subject and
whispered to him. The man pointed
out the body tagged Daniel Murphy"
and the professor laid a hand on the
man in black and led him up to the
table.

The man in black took Off his hat

heaved a sigh.

A Message of Inspiration.

The details have been received at
San Francisco of the loss of the Ger
man steamer Itlis in the China sea on
July Is, when rs, all but eight of the
crew, went down. The bravery of
these men in the face Of death and
their exalted display of patriotism at
the moment of dissolution form a mes
sage of inspiration to all men of all
nations. When first it was known that
the ship was doomed the captain gath
cred his men about him, and all joined
in a mighty cheer for their emperor
and the fatherland. Vhe sound of their
voices was yet in the air when the ship
broke in two. The end was now but
a few minutes off, but in the words Of
the report: Gust as big wave came
curling toward the lost vessel Gunner
Raehn requested the men to join in
singing the national anthem. They
grasped each others hands, and, with
their voices mingling with the bowling
of the storm, they went down to death
in the sea-"
