HOW COAL GAS IS MADE.

Show your friends some evening how
coal gas is made. All that you will
need isa clay pipe and some plaster of
paris. Fill the pipe with soft coal dust
from the scuttle and plug up the top of
the bowl very carefully with plaster.
When the covering is dry place the
bowl Of the pipe inside the stove where
there ia a hot fire, allowing the stem to
stick out. In three or four minutes
strike a match and hold it to the stem
Of the pipe, and presto there will be a
steady blaze of gas. If there is no
stove at hand the pipe may be heated
over a gas jet, but it will take longer
probably ten minutes-to start the gas
from the coal.
When the gas is all burned from the
stem of the pipe cut the plaster and
in the bottom of the bowl you will
have a little coke.
Nearly all the gas used in great cities
is made exactly in the same way, only
on q very much larger scale.

important than any other, is sympa,
thetic co operation from the husband.
There is great need of living sympa-
thetically with children. Many live for
their children who are, in reality,
never a day with them. Many mothers
are too dignifed to sit down on the
floor and play with their children.
We don't need to get down with the
children, we need to look up to them.
A mother should so live as to be an
ideal to her child in everything. Moth
ers should do as Mrs. Booth has said,
love the children of others. Every child
can be taught the rights of relation
ship before it leaves the nursery. There
are thousands of other needs, but
those named are the ones one most
often comes in contact with.
