come into fashion. House warming is as
necessary as ever and in that, as in every
thing else, ingenuity and art have made
rapid and valuable improvements. In coal,
gas, oil, steam and electricity we have va
ried and abundant sources Of heat. while
in the forms through which their services
are rendered we have a range of artistic
and efficient appliances in which the stove
maker, the engineer and the decorator
have shown their special lines of skill. The
naces that distribute warm air in private
houses and the dainty stove heated with
oil, coal or gas, are as types Of modern
workmanship bewildering in their variety,
and fascinating in their picturesque adorn-
ments. Nor is efficiency sacrificed to ap-
pearance. The most warmth from the least
fuel, and at the least cost of time and
trouble, are among the objects sought and
reached in the modern heating apparatus.
At less cost than ever, and in more homes
of the humble kind than ever, the wintry
side of the year is made to glow with
warmth and comfort. In the modern Oil
and gas stove, for instance, we have a
cheap, clearly and effective method of
keeping Jack Frost on the right side of the
window and the wall. 1t is in reach of all
except those in the lower stratas of pow
erty; it can be moved hither and thither
with ease; is Independent of smoky CHM
neys or vexatious and disjointed pipe, and
in it's cheapest form Is as much q pleasure
to the eye as 1t is comfort to the bone
What may yet be brought about by ingenu-
ity and science in the Improvement of heat
ing apparatus In economics of combustion
it is Impossible to forecast. The supply of
warmth from central stations by arteries
of pipe; the more general and cheaper use
of furnaces: the larger distribution of gas;
the minimizing of hazards in explosive oils
and the science of obtaining the most heat
from the least coal are all among the pcssi-
bilities of progress In the art Of house
warming.

BASELY BETRAYED.

The English Tourists Overheard In
Praising Something American.
From the San Francisco News Letter
In pardonable admiration of Mayor Phe-
lan's native son statue, Douglas Tilden,
the sculptor, and Willis Polk, the architect,
were gazing at the finished work a few
days ago, when Polk noticed two men,
plainly tourists from their costumes and
customs, discussing the merits Of Tilden's
latest artistic triumph.
The architect edged nearer the critics,
and at a pause in their admiring comments
of the statue pointed to Tilden. unob-
served by the latter.
THAT gentleman is the sculptor" he re-
marked. III
Immediately tho manner of the English
men changed. They were plainly chagrin-
ed that they had been betrayed into the
expression OF such marked approval With
a chilling acknowledgment Of Willis infor-
matt,n they radically changed their tune
for Tilden's benefit. Where formerly they
had praised, they now found only condem-
nation, loudly and pedantly expressed for
the purpose of inapresstng Tilden with the
apparent idea that they were heavyweight
connoisseurs. 2sfof
"Wretchedly conceived and numerically
executed" remarked one Of the Britishers
with an air of administering a solar plexus
blow by way of quickly finishing matters
Tilden, Of course, heard nothing Of all
mute alphabet, rapidlyfspelled q few words
to his friend. sV st
'They say 1t is sthe finest thing they have
seen in America, n wasfwhat Folks fngers
said. 40
With an air of delighted appreciation the
sculptor raised his hat to his critics. and
smilingiy bowed his acknowledgements.
The Londoners were completely taken
aback. The expression Of astonishment on
their faces was delicious. Without another
word to or about Ttlden they hastily board
ed the first passing tram" for the Palace.
