Steubenville, O., July 3O.-John B. Bran
agan, of this city, has been made man
ager Of the Thos. Evans chimney factory,
in PiUtsburg and he has taken hold. Mr..
Branagan is thoroughly qualified to ff1l
the important position, as besides being
a fine chimney maker he is possessed
with considerable managerial ability. Mr..
Branagan has worked in the Acme facto-
ry here, and the Old Dominion factory at
Montreal, mastering all the details of the
business under the King of Glasswork-
ers," Henry Schnellbach. The Acme has
turned out some fine chimney blowers,
and wherever they go to work the fact
that they worked under a master hand is
soon apparent, and for this reason sever
al chimney factories in the United States
have as managers practical glass work
ers who learned their trade under
Schnellbach.
The indications are that the Acme will
start up on time. Repairs are being made
to various parts of the works. The chin
ney blowers have only asked for the
same wages as last year, and it is under
stood that the Acme owners desire work
at last years wages and ]. j. Gil, who is
on the manufacturers committee, will sc

STOR les OF
THE STAGE.

john E. Henshaw, who made such a
hit with his Its a good thing; push
1t along" in 1.-THE Passing Show" has
another phrase that promises to be-
come the legitimate successor of that
famous expression. Henshaw is in the
cast of Around Town." review OF
the theatrical season in Boston.
Quite lately he and George Richards
were on the stage telling a number OF
war jokes that did not arouse the Gus
tomary laugh.
Henshaw, seeing that something
was the matter, spontaneously repeat
ed the point to one of his best jokes.
Richards turned in an off hand way
replied, "Oh, l heard what you said!
The audience, at this mild sally, "tum-
bled," and hearty laugh ensued. AS
a result Henshaw has worked the ex-
pressing into the dialogue OF the re-
view at as many frequent intervals as
he brought the good thing express
sion forward, and it has never yet rail-
ed to get laugh. Indeed the report
from Boston is that "Oh, l heard what
you said!" has been taken up on the
street and it is a by-word now.

WHERE wood is used for fuel it is a
matter of considerable importance to
have it well seasoned. AS all the
moisture ~ hich it contains must be
evaporated, it is plain that there is "a
good deal of loss in burning wet wood
1t is difficult to start fire with such
material and after it is started it re-
quires close attention to keep it from
going out; then, too, considerable
part OF the heat that is obtained is used
to dissipate the moisture which should
have heen expelled by the natural
process of seasoning. Thus economy,
as well as comfort, is secured in using
dry wood for fuel rather than that
which has not been seasoned. Yet,
from one cause or another, great
many farmers do not obtain a sufiiC.
lent quantity of wood in the winter to
last full year. AS a consequence of
such failure they have to get along for
several weeks with green wood.
Those who are looking forward to such
a necessity would do well to cut a few
trees at once. Ii is said that if the
trees are merely felled, when in full
leaf, and left for few weeks, the
leaves will use nearly all the sap be-
tore they drop, and that soon otter it is
fitted for the stove such wood will burn
almost as freely as though it had been
seasoned. This looks reasonable and
the plan is certainly worth trying. Ii
it does not commend itself to those who
will soon need some dry wood, the cut,
ting of a few hard wood trees and
fitting them for the stove, should re.
ceive prompt attention. Such wood
will not get very thoroughly seasoned
before cold weather comes, but it will
burn great deal better than fue
that is not cut until it is needed foi
immediate use.-Practicsl Farmer.

CoRN.--The market has shown a quiet tone
but prices are about &c higher than week
ago.
PoTAToEs.- have not been very
heavy this week, but trade has been very quiet
and the market no more than steady.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export, G62 boxes.
Demand continues light and the market still
has quiet tone, with no quotable change in
prices.
OATs.-The market shows steady tone
with prices well maintained on all grades. The
demand is quiet, however, and it does not take
much to meet buyers needs.
BEANs.-There has been little change in
the bean market during the past week. De-
mand has been light, and the sales generally in
small lots at about former prices.
FLoUR.-The tone of the market is much
easier than was the case week ago, and gen
eral prices are marked lower. Wheat has de-
clined and this has affected the sale of flour,
as but little business can be done on a declin-
ing market.
BUTTER.-We are still having a very dull
| and unsatisfactory market for fresh butter
Receipts are fairly liberal, and although the
proportion of strictly fine fresh is small, there
is more than enough of this grade to supply
| the demand.
HAY.-The market for hay is yet dull. and
| conditions are unfavorable, sales having been
| time before this season. The suburban de-
mand is greatly lessened by the large available
supply of loose hay that comes in competition
