In giving the fire a thorough raking
remove all clinkers with the poker
At night the fireboX should be even
full of coal after raking out all the dead
ashes and cinders and putting on the
nights supply.
The ashes should never accumulate in
the ashpan until they reach the CRATE.
If this happens often the CRATE will soon
be burned out.
Never use the shaker when it is posi-
BILE to avoid it; instead use the poker
freely, and you will have brighter fire

Remember that shaking banks the
fire down into solid mass, and as the
air cannot circulate through it the draft
will be poor
When the fire from any cause be-
comes dun do not stir it over the top or
put in wood, but rake out the ashes and
put on the drafts.
Keep the stove well polished if the
lids become greasy turn them over and
let the top Of the lid come next to the
fire until all the grease is burned off;
then polish as usual,-Leisure Hours,

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Increased activity is reported in the
retail anthracite trade in New England
cities. and as stocks in the yards are
low, there has been a good demand for
supplies from the producing companies.
The scarcity of available coal is perhaps
a stronger factor in the situation than
the real Improvement in the demand,
but whichever is the controlling in
fuence it has resulted in causing a good
demand. In other retail centres the
trade is very quiet. Tidewater prices
are not strong. and while some compan-
les are receiving full circular prices be-
cause they happen to be short. other
companies are said to be selling at the
May circular. The local trade is duh
with individual producers sashing prices
10 and IL cents Il ton. In fact, outside
of New England the retail demand has
been qniet and even in that section it
has not been very active.
The July output turns out to have
been far larger than was calculated
upon and to be very close to 1000, 600
tons. This excess will be corrected TIL 5
month"; for unless plans are Ia Ideally
changed the output in August will not
be much over 3, 800, 900 tons In the first
seven months of the year the production
has been a0,OO0.000 tons against -, ZOO,

The Scranton Street Railway Com
pany has posted an order full of fight
regarding splitting in the cars. Conduc-
tors and motermen are given wide
power on the company's responsibility
to forcibly eject from cars passengers
who eXpectorate on the floors, and
refuse to abide by the order. The
notice went into effect Friday morning.
and reads as follows:
The attention Of conductors is called
to notice in the cars regarding spit
ting on the floor.
This order is to be enforced within
the limits of the city of Scranton. and
conductors are requested to carefully
note the following Instructions:
"ln case passenger does not observe
the order call his attention to the notice
in the car, and politely request the pas
Scnger to observe it. Should any pas
Scngcr, having been requested TO OBJ
serve the erder, refuse to, do so. stop the
car and request such passenger to leave
the car. If he refuses to leave the car,
move the passenger from the ear. If
there is no officer in sight eject him.
using only such force a. is necessary.
aud If necessary calling on the motrr-
man to assist. Conductors must AT all
times b" courteous and not enter into an
argument over the order which must br
enforced"
The Board of Health some months
ago adopted IL resolution directing the
company to post notices in the cars
prohibiting splitting in the cars. The
company did so, but did not until this
month issue any order directing the CON
ductorS to eject offenders from the cars.
The jurisdiction of the Board of Health
is within the city limits. and the order
of the company is made to conform to
that district.

WHEELS AND WHEELING.

The bill requiring Canadian railroads
to carry bicycles free, as personal bag
gage, has failed to become IL law, but
will be introduced again next session.
Paderewslli, the famous pianist, and
Joseph jefferson, the great actor, are
the latest converts to the wheel. The
latter rides a woman's wheel, which is
easy to mount and dismount, and is
much safer in case of an accident.
1t is suggested with reason that chain
makers should get together and estab-
lish standard gauge. Sometimes it
is "A matter of considerable trouble for
rider to replace damaged chain, be
cause the style has changed since he
bought his wheel.
The latest invention in the tire line
is a punctureless composition, consist
ing of rubber and cotton so arranged
as to be impervious to tacks, glass and
other tire destroyers. 1t is claimed,
too, that the tire loses none of it's re-
silieney, At a recent test wheel was
ridden over glass and tacks without
injury to the tire. The tire is the in
vention of a Boston mAn.
The expense of pacing an hour race

is the reason there are not more such
