SOFT COAL IN THE FURNACE.

New York Times,

New York Times.
Soft coal ignites very quickly, dies down
with equal facility. and needs constant
watching and frequent replenishing TO
maintain even a measurabiy constant hre.
In these respects IL more resembles wood
than anthracite. but it burns very nearly
as well in an anthracite range as In one
built for market where only soft coal Is
used as a domestic fuel.
In an misunderstanding furnace soft coal
needs to be treated very differently from
anthracite, but the difference consists in
the management of draughts and checks.
In the feed door of every furnace there is
a slide damper to admit air over the fire.
When anthracite is used this is opened only
IL ii is desired TO deaden the fire and lower
the temperature OF the house. With soft
coal IL must be left open all the time The
great volume of gases evolved from IL in
the coking process, which Is the first
stage In its combustion. calls for more air
than can be had through the body OF fuel,
and unless this is supplied above the fire
the greatest value OF the fuel is lost up
the chimney in unconsumed gases. Too
much air for good combustion can be ad-
mitted over the fire, but IL is not likely to
be the case IL the slide damper in
the feed door OF a furnace built
all the time. The draught OPEN
ing in the ash pit door. on the other hand,
needs to be less widely and continuously
open than for anthracite. With the same
amount of bottom draught which IL is GUS
tomary TO give hard coal. soft coal would
simulate the combustion in blast furnace
and call for constant stoking. The house
holder must also remember that the check
draught in the smoke pipe, which with
anthracite Is usually kept open In mod
crate weather, cannot be opened much if
any, with soft coal, or the house will I'LL
with smoke. The best way is to leave IL
closed altogether. With the attention TO
these details, which reverse the customary
practice with anthracite, furnace may
be run on bituminous coal so as to keep
O house entirely comfortable.
1t will be found difficult, IL not impos-
| eible, TO keep either a range or furnace
| fire over night with soft coal unless one
! has a watchman on duty to look after
| 1t. AS an Offset to this, however we have
| the ease with which fresh fire of soft
| coal may be lighted, and its almost in
stantaneous response in heat-imparting
| efficiency. 1t kindles nearly as easily as
| shayings, and the coke of the previous
/ fire does not have to be removed from the
| fire pot. All that is necessary is to shake
down the fine ash, and make the new fire
upon what remains. With little judg-
| ment, one having a small supply of an
| thracite available, may run his furnace
| through the day and evening with soft
| coal, and by adding anthracite at night
| have a fire in the morning. But with no
| anthracite at all, he can, with a little
| more trouble than he is accustomed to.
keep his house comfortable with soft COAL

A Philadelphia paper recently published
an alleged interview with Major Byrne.
Thirtieth Infantry, recruiting officer at that
city, in which he was made to say: Nearly
all the army officers agree that the aboli-
tion of the canteen has effected much good
in the ranks and resulted in the betterrhent
of the condition of the soldiers" Since this
publication Major Byrne has sent the fol-
lowing to the War Department.
A reporter called at my Office yesterday
and asked questions as to the canteen and
desertiops. / stated that l did not wish to
be interviewed, but added that 1 was
strongly In favor of the canteen, and con-
sidered ii aid to discipline and benefit
to the enlisted man. and that it was gen.
orally favored by the army.

recent reunion of the Mexican war vet
Grams of Missouri has recalled the fact that
a regiment of Missouri volunteers in that
war made one of the longest marches on
record. The regiment was commanded by
Col. A. w. Doniphan. and it marched
across the plains into the heart of Mexico,
distance of almost 600 miles. depending
for subsistence largely upon the meat of
buffalo killed on the way. The Mexican war
has been overshadowed by later events, but
1t brought out some great American quail

many of her temperance friends were at
loss to know how to address her. Lady
Henry sounded rather queer to ears un-
accustomed to the intricacies of British
titles so the majority of those who were
privileged TO meet the visitor gave her "a

person. that of Lady Somerset" while a
few of the more daring boldly cut the Cor

ATE THE RAILS.
Hungry Wolves stopped Traffic on an
Early Northwestern Railroad.

Buffalo Express.
About 1872 one of the first railroads of the
northwest was built in~the territory of
along the banks of the Walla Walla river.
and following the general line of what is
now the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company's road between those points. The
road was a primitive affair, and was built.
owned and operated by DR.. Baker, of Walla
Walla. 1t had no Pullman cars, chair cars
or buffet cars, and the day coaches were
mostly platform or fiat cars. Instead of
having a right of way the road had permis-
sion TO go through the fields of the farm
ers Consequently the road was not a rapid
transit one, as the train hands had to get
off and lay down the rail fences and put
them up again after the train had passed
through.
The roadbed was constructed by laying
crossties six or eight feet apart, and on
those laying the wooden stringers for rails.
The heavy traffic over the road caused the
rails 10 wear in spots so that train wrecks
and smashups were of daily occurrence.
These were not serious. for when the train
crew saw a wreck coming their way they
would hop off and let il wreck
The annoyances, however. soon became
detrimental TO the interests OF shippers,
so the owners had to devise some means
of overcoming the difficulty. Rails of
standard railroad iron were out of the
question, they had to be SHIPPED "the
Horn around" and freighted by wagon
quite a distance. Strap irou could not be
had. The doctor, with Yankee shrewdness,
finally hit upon the happy idea of substi-
tutIng rawhide for strap iron. Cattle were
plentiful and rawhide cheap, so the doctor
sbon had his track layers at work putting
the rawhide on the wooden stringers. The
rawhide soon became dry and as hard as
iron, and answered the purpose admirably
during thee dry weather.
ha winter succeeding
rawhide track was very severe one for
that part OF the country. The snow lay on
the ground for several weeks. The
wolves were driven from the mountains
by the deep snow and skirmished for liv-
ing as best they could In tthe valleys. When
the snow began 10 melt IL softened the raw
hide rails and the hungry wolves soon
found the tracks. When spring came and
the snow had melted the wolves had eaten
up the railroad track from Walla Walia
to Wallula.
