ing some of the most wonderful preach
ers that ever hurled a varied assort-
ment of English from the pulpit. One
of these expounders Of the Word re-
Gently endeavored to give his hearers
an idea of the length of eternity, and
this is the way he did it:
IF q little sparrow were to dip its

that drop in the Pacific ocean, and then

Christian Science Again
To the Editor Of The Evening Journal.
Sir: From the editorial Science,
Shoes and Charity" in the edition OF
your paper last evening, 1t appears that
our editorial friend is still perplexed
over what seems TO him an inconsist-
ency in the lives Of Christian Scien-
lists. viz: That because they exalt
Mind and belittle matter, they continue
ito eat and wear clothing, shoes, etc.
And no doubt he may entertain the
Same view which we once believed,
that because Jesus ate and wore clothes
there was something impractical in
these words 1T is the Spirit Mind
that duickeneth, the flesh profiteth
nothing" also that He demanded: :
Take no thought for your life. what
lye shall eat. or what ye shall drink;
not yet for your body what ye shall
put on"
1t is certain that Christian Scientists
do eat and drink. indeed, with more
comfort. many of them, than when they
were tormented with the pangs OF dys-
pepsia, Indigestion and gastritis, and
governed by countless contradictory
hygienic laws And they wear shoes,
better shoes. many OF them, than when
sickness. discouragement and dissipa-
ton prevented their activity in such
labors as would make them worthy of
their hire. And they have better abil-
! ity to assist in the feeding and cloth
ing Of others than before they were
acduainted with the beneficial effects
of Christian Science.
But Christian Scientists are learning
that the life and teachings OF Jesus
we're not inconsistent, and that
through Christian Science an under
standing of Christ Jesus, as The Way
shower. that is His words and works,
makes practical Christianity possible
today; that TO seek first the Kingdom
Of God and His righteousness" +" in other
words the kingdom of Spirit, of Mind

The Trustees of the Delaware Hos
pital for the Insane. yesterday decided
to build a modren hospital for the care
of patients suffering with tuberculosis.
.lt is said that this dread disease is
very prevalent among the patients of
tho institution and that twenty per
cent of the deaths that have occurred
in recent years have been due to this
complaint. At present there is no pro-
vision for their treatment, and being
in close contact with their fellow un-
bortunates. the contagion has q ten
dency to spread
1t is in accord with our humanitarian
ideas that these unfortunates shall have
all proper attention. Many patients
are sent to the hospital who are only
temporarily derapged, and who soon
are discharged permanently cured. It
is terrible to think that while they are
inmates there they are liable to con-
tract a dreaded disease which usually
results in death.
II is the purpose Of the trustees to
build a modern hospital that will hold
twenty-four patients, giving a room to
each They will have the best treat
ment known to science. and the cure of
large per cent of cases will doubtless
be effected. The other patients will es-
cape contagion, and the true purposes
for which the institution was founded
will be carried out or course they
cannot be treated in the ordinary hos
pitals. and it is eminently proper thai
they should be cared for at the publ,
lexpense.

WOOD NOW TAKES PLACE OF
COAL IN MANY OF OUR STOVES

Owing to the high price of coal many
people are now using wood as fuel. AS
a consequence there will be more tim
Der cut in Southern forests this year
than for long time. Eighty per cent.
oi the wood sold for heating purposes
is pine; not much oak is used, and very
little hickory.
Cars of firewood contain from twelve
to fourteen colds each. These are sold
largely to wood consumers, such as meat
houses which smoke their meats; wood
is also distributed among the retail
dealers who, in turn, sell out to THE
small consumer with houses in which
open fire-places are constructed Owing
to the stiff demand, wood is now bring
ing good prices, but judging from the
a acrity with which it is now being
cut in the rural districts, the price may
drop later in the fall. Pine cord wood
is now selling wholesale in carload lots
for S3.75 and $4. Oak is worth $4.25,
and hickory brings $3.50 and IS. The
retail price of these woods sawed into
the desired lengths range from Sc, $3.50
to So respectively.
This word comes from the timber
districts of Southern Maryland and Del
aware. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
this vicinity take care of most of the
timber grown in these districts.
With the coming of the autumn
winds the Northern trade picks up.

NOT EASY Ar nrsr

Mr.. Charles w. McFee, Of George
town, in passing through Washington
Was interviewed by a correspondent
yesterday. on the Delaware situation.
He declares that even with the RepuD-
licans united, a Democratic victory is
certainf and that the nomination OF
Byrne only renders it easier. Inciden-
tally ne pays a compliment to Dir. Ball,
who, he says. has made a most credi-
table representative" Considering the
fact that this is from a Democrat, and
from one who hopes to be the Demo
cratic nominee. this is a tribute worthy
OF note.
Mr.. McFee's remarks are chiefly in,
teresting, however, because they show
that there is confidence in the Demo
cratic ranks. and that Republican,
must not fondly imagine that they car
win with any candidate, and by get

have been no strike. and the public

Mr.. Baer enumerates the points Of
difference. and declares that the oper-
ators cannot grant all these conces-
sions. Nobody ever supposed that they
could. or would. but If they had made
the slightest concession on any point
the strike would never have taken
place. Mr.. Baer says: III We attempt
to increase the price of COAL we will
destroy the industries dependent upon
anthracite fuel If we increase the
domestic sizes we will be called robber
barons, oppressors Of the poor, mo-
nopolists, and oppressors OF man
kind" According to this. Mr. Baer ex-
poets to be judged by results, and these
are Infinitely worse than those he
seems to have imagined in his state
ment. The price OF coal has not only
advanced. but coal cannot be had. It
would have been better that the people
should have paid few cents ton
more and have been allowed the boon
Of purchasing a sufficient quantity to
keep them from freezing.
AS the case stands. each side con-
tends that it is fighting to maintain a

straighten up as he breathes.
In New York there is a demand for
hickory wood for broiling fires at all
seasons. Chefs in Delmonico's and
other fashionable places believe this
wood imparts a distinct and delicious
flavor to steaks and other meats. More
or less hickory, however, is sawed the
year round into lengths suitable for
burning in open fireplaces and CRATES;
the wood is cut in summer and stacked
against the time of demand. Great
logs sometimes are preferred, as in
some of the newer clubhouses they
have large open fireplaces that will
readily take in big sticks. In one club.
for backlOgs in one of it's fireplaces.
hickory logs a foot and half to two
feet in diameter are used; these gem
erous backlogs will burn twenty-four
hours.
The Supply Inexhaustlble
1t IN S.mistaken idea that firewood is
growing dearer each year. There is a
bountiful supply fer this generation
and those to come. should the wood be
cut with discrimination. Increased
railroad and water facilities have made
it possible to transport wood to the
markets with less cost, and the prices
should grow cheaper, not more. The
greatest supply of firewood is to be
found probably, along the edges of the
Dismal Swamp, and owing to the nu-
merous waterways in that vicinity the
firewood is easily gotten to deep water
where it is loaded on schooners This
wood is obtained in many ways; some
people cut wood from their own prop
critics. shipping it themselves to the
markets in carload lots; others sell the
timber standing, and outside firms pay
day laborers from sixty to seventy-five
cents a cord for cutting it, Some en-
terprising Northern concerns have men
all through Virginia and the Carolinas
buying up this firewood and forwarding
it North. and from the size of their
bank account it would seem that the
business pays well. A New York man
states that some of the timber is saw
ed, but most is split by hand This fell
lows right hand is an old Virginia
darkey named November Snaw," who
splits pine under a broiling, Southern
