1t should be said In regard to the smoke
question that there is nothing in the asser-
ton made by certain owners of buildings
having offensive chimneys that no practical
and effective smoke consumer is in exist
ence. A proof to the contrary is to be
found in this city A firm of manufacture
ers. who have in use battery of ten boil
tachment whose purpose was the saving of
fuel rather than the prevention of smoke,
their establishment being in the suburbs,
where smoke is less of a nuisance than in
the center of the city. AS a matter of
course, however, perfect combustion means
the absence of smoke and the result of
their experiment is that except for a few
minutes after firing. no smoke is to be seen
issuing from their chimneys. What is even
more pleasing to them is the fact that
combustion attachment was returned 20
them in the saving of fuel Owners of
buildings apparently do not realize that the
masses of black smoke pouring from their
chimneys mean a great waste of fuel, and
that as matter of economy it would be
wise to consume such smoke. The heating
plants of downtown blocks and buildings
usually have not more than three boilers
oftener two. Less ti1ape>a thousand dollars
would equip each of them with the ma
chinery necessary to utilize what is now
the wastage of their coal. If owners can
not be made to consider the subject as it
affects the comfort of the community, they
ought certainly to see the advantage to
themselves Of smoke consumption.

The Whipping Post,

A preacher in Hartford, Conn, in ad-
dressing ministerial meeting, advocated
: establishing the whipping-post for the
Furnishing of drunkards. Would it not be
better and more humane to establish the
whipping-post for the punishment of the
men who engage in the drunkard-making
business, and especially for the punishment
of the preachers who fail to inveigh
against the legalized rum traffic? Whip
ping drunkards for getting drunk is quite
too much like ''kicliing man when he is

Making the Best of One Another.

To criticise others is one Of the com!
monest of faults. We are apt to attrib-
ute it to mere ill-nature, and sometimes
it is due to this. But it often has another
cause, lying farther back 1t is due quite
as much to the spirit Of self-exaltation rs
to an, unkind disposition to decry. We
like, to show that we know what is right,
that we have high standard which 9TH
ers have failed to equal. Criticisms sof
their failures is involved in our assertion
of our own superiority, but the primary
sin oirour part lis pride quite as often as
simple Immature, nor does this fact make
,our sin any the less. 10 make the best
OF others; to see in them, whenever pos
sible, good purpose, whatever failure
of performance there may have been; to

nesses, and to help all who know them

All right, Mary, Ill be right down'
answered Rose, hastily putting the nn'
ishing touches to her toilet III rather
nervous manner, so different from her
usual calm and sedate way. AT lhe
same time happy smile played around
her mouth and the roses stole into her
cheeks. For only yesterday Rose had
given Frank Burton her promise TO
become his wife, and now the sus-
picion crossed her mind that the seal
of that solemn promise was about to
'-be given her.
So, pinning a bunch of English vio-
lets to her dress, she tripped galiy
downstairs to welcome her lover.
4. Surely Frank never looked so band
some as he did this afternoon as he
stood waiting for the appearance OF
). his fance.
After the usual s3lutations were over
Frank drew out n MISUNDERSTANDING
little package from his pocket. and
began carefully unwrapping it. This
procedure ended, he held out towards
Rose a daintily lined box, almost hid
den. among the folds Of which lay
beautiful diamond ring.

Sit A>beauty" And in few seconds
the fH9Swas in the proper place, put
there in MebqFoper way.

be the last time.

room.

"Oh, Frank, is it really true"
And for a moment it seemed as If a

harder for Frank. They must both
bear up and cheer each other.
They talked long and earnestly that
evening and tried to appear cheerful.
Mother, father and Fred were made
acquainted with the news and came in
to bid the young soldier God-speed.
Days passed. A letter came from
Frank from Chickameuga. A week
later-from Tampa. They were to

Rose was startled by the shrillness Of

to the door herself. A letter ina
