A woman wants you to feel sorry for

There is so little genuine love in the

Building = Fire.

To kindle any fire. small sticks should
be laid across each other, basket fash
ion, with paper below. See that the
drafts and dampers are all open, the
upper front check closed, and apply
the match before a bit of coal is put
upon the wood. When it has begun to
burn well, put on one shovelful, allow
ing the air to pass through unchecked
so as to kindle that. In short time
more may be added, then more, and
when the coal begins to glow red shut
one draft, then another.
Turn out of doors the first person
who dares to dream of using kerosene
monish her who persists in filling the
firebox to the top of stove or range.
That is the way to burn out or crack
the stove and destroy the firebrick.
Besides, it chokes the draft, causing
less heat to be given out. A hot fire
is clear fire, with the draft coming
unchecked through the bottom damper.
The persons who boil their tea are the
same that fill the range as full as 1t
will hold, and when it fails, as 1t
then must, to give out the needed heat,
take off the cover and punch and poke
it down from above, thus crowding
the coal into a still more compact
mass. Such a cook has her range
speedily filled with clinkers and
wastes much fuel.-Good Housekeep-

Perfect confidence is desirable be-

but it is not always that the young
woman has as fine an opportunity to
establish it as did NorristOwn belle,
to whom a wealthy young bachelor
had been paying assiduous attention.
After worrying her a good deal about
how many young men had been In love
with her and how many she had been
attached to, he asked her to marry
him, adding:
"Now, let there be perfect confidence
between us. Keep nothing concealed
from me-"
Certainly" replied the giddy girl,
''let us have no concealments," and,
jumping up, she snatched the wig he
wore from his head and danced around
the room with it.
In spite of this levity, the couple
married and, from all accounts, are liv-
