for the purpose. In the drawing we
show a fireplace recently designed by
John F. Beck, of Atlanta, Ga, which
seems capable of heating the upper
rooms to a comfortable temperature.
It consists of a mtallic casing, which is
inserted in place of the brick partition
usually placed between fireplaces set
opposite each other in adjoining rooms.
The lower portion of the drum is mar
row, and any pattern of CRATE can be
attached to it, while the upper portion
flares out over the CRATE, leaving, how
ever, sufficient room for the passage of
smoke through the chimney. Inside the
drum series of plates are SO arranged
that the air is caused to circulate back
and forth in a circuitous route before
entering the pipe at the top of the
drum. The fresh air is conducted into
the bottom of the drum through tube
laid under the floor and extending to
one of the basement windows. AS the
air is heated it rises through the pipe
to the chambers, causing the fresh air
to enter and providing not only sufi-
cient heat for the upper, but also per-
feet ventilation of air free from all
smoke of the fireplace.

There is now great deal of talk to
the effect that man who works for a
salary is more dependent than man
who has his own business. If there is
one fact that is clearly established in
this world, that fact is the beneficent
complete interdependence Of all men.
Timidity or some other similar defect
of character may make any man, what
ever his source of income, feel like q
dependent in the unpleasant sense of
that word. Idleness or incapacity or
some such defect may make a man ac-
tuaIy dependent, recipient of
bounty which he has good cause to fear
may be withdrawn. Bnt the man Of
courage, the man of energy, capacity
and application, is everywhere his own
master. Whether he keeps shop or
works for shopkeeper, whether he di-
reefs or is directed by corporation,
he is necessarily free man. He gives
valuable service in exchange FOR its
worth

REFORM IN MANS ATTIRE.
John Nj. Hubbard, a Cultivated YANKEE
with a Strange Fad.


John Merwin Hubbard. Of West Ha-
ven. Conn, stalks out to church every
Sunday arrayed in a flowing Whlte
robe with golden girdle and q bonnet
fashioned after those worn by ancient
Jewish priests. On the Fourth OF July
and other patriotic occasions Mr.. Hub-
bard appears in his true glory, for then
he dawns upon the startled gaze of the
summer boarders at Savin Rock most
gorgeously arrayed in a robe OF REQ,
white and blue.
Father Hubbard wishes it recorded
that he does not wear his diaphanous
drapery because he wishes to excite
vulgar attention or to prove to the
world that he is the only real genuine
Father Hubbard. He is a philosopher
a soldier, and a poet. He wears the
strange drapery because he says ne mas
that modern ideas of dress
are entirely opposed to the consistency
and teaching of the scriptures. There
fore he has invented several new ana
original costumes, which, however, ne

We are obliged now to chronicle the
fact that club has been formed in
nearby city by divorced men who call
themselves ''The Concentrated Order
of Has Beens." This organization, it
is said, will build club house and en-
deavor to attract attention in various
ways, probably having baseball
matches between fat and lean mines Sc
lected from it's membership and getting
up benefits at theaters and other places
for itself. It is difficult to be patient
with such people. Possibly some of the
divorced husbands in the town were
wronged They may have been JUST
fed in seeking freedom. But there can
be no justification for desire upon
the part of any one who is divorced
man to parade himself as such. Cad
of every city were to form clubs?
Where could building sites for business
houses be found? And if the divorced
men are going to form clubs the di-
vorced women will be wanting to do
something of the kind next. That
would be too much! This club bust
ness is being carried too far anyway. 1t
has come to pass that person who
doesn't belong to one or more clubs is
almost a curiosity, and as for society,
it is nothing but a conglomeration of
clubs. There are mems clubs, there are
women's clubs, there are country clubs,
there are driving clubs, wheel clubs
auto clubs, golf clubs, tennis clubs and
card clubs of many kinds. In fact, it
seems to have become customary when
ever or wherever two Or three are gath
cred together, by chance or otherwise,
to form club of some kind. All this
must, in the natural order of things,
come to stop sooner or later. The line
must be drawn somewhere, and we
guess the proper place to draw it is at
the divorced peoples club. The mem
bers of the divorced mems club should
be ashamed of themselves.

There may be much scientific and lit
erary sympathy between nations which
are politically uncongenial. There is
q current medical proverb in Europe
that when a thing is verified on the
banks of the Spree, as we'll as on the
banks of the Seine, that is, when Ber-
lin and Paris agree, there must be
something in it. So much has been
added to our knowledge of the physical
history of the race by study and expert
ments in France and Germany, that the
proverb is worthy to be remembered
when the political relations of the two
countries are in question. Moreover, is
1t not best for the world to emphasize
the fraternizings rather than the es-
arrangements of the nations?

What would Commodore Vanderbilt
have thought Of all this chatter about
his great grandson going to work? The
old man put his son "Bilp' to work at
an early age; not in an office at $4,000
a year, either, but hauling manure on
the Staten Island farm ION shares" and
thought he was treating him handsome
" at that. The access of snobbery
since those days is by no means con-
fined to the Vanderbilt family; it ex.
tends throughout the large and growing
class of Americans who sneeze every
time young millionaire takes snuff.

London a Good Field for Bakers

What to do with cur boys? Make
them bakers. According to the official
organ of the trade, the way to honor
able competency, not to say wealth, lies
through a sack of -four. There is no
calling, it says, which offers such good
opportunities to the operative as the
bakers. A persevering, steady, saving
lad can in very few years make q
position for himself. 1t does not re-
quire large capital to start in bust
ness. and it is safe to say that so per
cent of the London master bakers have
worked their way up to comfortable
position, if not one of affluence, from
the ranks of the journeymen.-Londo

Chicago police records show that the
broom handle is woman's favorite wea-
pom. In table compiled by the Trib-
une of that city the broom handle comes
first with a record of 1856 ARRAYS,
against 1O2 for table knives, 70 for
stove lid filters and 76 for the tradi-
tional rolling pin. The hatpin has a
score of 50, yet it is a more dangerous
weapon than a table knife or rolling
pin. The explanation is that women
do most of their fighting at home and
seize the weapon nearest at hand.
