How to Economic on the Use OF
Coal-Building Fires.

How to Economize. on the Use OF
Coal-Building Fires.
One of the most fruitful sources OF
household waste and extravaganza Is
the coal bin, and tons Of fuel are used
where a single one would give the
same results. Open drafts and range
full to the covers Of glowing Goals not
only burn a needless amount OF coal
but burn out the range at the same
time. A shovelful Of coal or sufficient
to lightly cover the fire will accom-
plish as much as a half scuttleful, e1-
cepting In the increase Of the coal
| mans trade.
For a small range nut coal Is best;
for a large one,' small egg coal. Red
ash coal makes q hotter fire, with
fewer cinders, than the white ash, and
the latter burns more slowly. For
these reasons an equal mixture OF the
two Is q wise economy. The ashes
taken from the fire should never be
thrown into the can until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
be used on the fire at times when the
greatest heat is not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal is well aglow.
A third of cupful Of kerosene with
which, to saturate the kindling and
coal before putting it In the range
will facilitate the housemaids morn
ing work, whether or not the fire has
been kept overnight. Kerosene should
never, however, be poured directly into
a stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way is to lay the wood on
q Shovel and cover it there with the
oil, and then add e sprinkling to 9
shovelful Of coal. Many housekeepers
insure their kitchens against accident
from this cause by leaving a: part OF 9
cupful of oil for the servants use ana
locking the rest in the storeroom.
A handful of sugar will revive an
expiring fire as quickly as will kero-
gene, but happy the housewife whose
maid Is ignorant Of the fact This ac-s
counts in many cases for the rapid dis
appearance Of the kitchen sugar sup
ply. a.t.3

How to Tell Age Of Horses.

The popular idea that the age OF q
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
wear the horse has no more new teeth;
30 that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age of horse which is more
than years old. AS soon as the set OF
teeth Is complete, however, wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge or
the lower eyelid, and new wrinkle Is
added each year, so that to get at the
age of a horse over 8 years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

The arrival OF fifty mill operatives in An.
derson short time ago, was the occasion OF
congratulation by the newspapers OF that
town. 1t Is inferred that the progressive
town had not had such boost In a long time,
and We are always glad to note the evidence
OF prosperity on the part OF neighboring
town. But little later than the arrival Of
fifty mill operatives, some Internal immigra.
ton agent came along and swiped forty
negroes. The town council, with commend
able zeal held meeting and took steps TO
squelch the immigration business. And all
is well.

Ont of the Ring,

are dead ducks. They might just as we'll sit
down, but we think Billy is determined tc
commit suicide by talking himself and Others

fight for some principle. and get new men to
to lead them. Nobody wants to bet his
money on horses that have been SO often
beaten, and nobody thinks Q man with Grov-

Infants May Now be Saved.

The Northern Presbyterians have recently
accorded salvation to the souls Of ofinfants who
die before the age Of responsibility. And
thus 1t is the world moves, and the idea that
shell is full Of infants not q span long," Is
giving way to more rational sentiment. In.
stead OF cruelty and uncharitableness 1t is to
be hoped that divine spirit may be found in
the hearts Of those who profess the religion
of our Saviour.

an enlargement Of the Railroad shops since

Running People by Charity.

The Atlanta Journal objects to the expendi.
ture Of two and half million OF dollars IN
the erection OF peace monument because so
many people need bread. We know OF no
better way Of giving 1t to them than in giving
them work by which they can earn II. 1.-THE
money is paid out TO them without any con.
sideration on their part, you will make idlers
OF them and when this money gives out they
will come back for more. Let them build a
peace monument and pay them for their
work instead OF donating the money to them.
-Wsshington. Ga. Chronicle.
The principle announced in the above is
perfectly correct. The best way to give aid
to the struggling poor is to give them oppor-
tunity to work. To give them aims, lowers
their selfrespect, and when the free bred 10
gone they too often expect more. very
large per cent. OF the human family would be
willing to remain idle, II somebody would
feed and clothe them. For this reason, the
oharitably inclined should be careful not to
encourage laziness or triaingness. Better
encourage people TO better and higher effort,
30 that, instead Of dragging in the dirt, they
may reach or attain higher and more worthy
things.
Believing that comfort, selfrespeot, and
good living is based upon industry. charit.
able people, or public spirited citizens,
should strive to provide means by which
their worthy neighbors may make then-
selves comfortable and independent There
is nothing like the glorious privilege Of being
independent. And the vast majority Of our
people may be comfortable and independent
as far as this worlds goods is concerned-iI
proper and suitable opportunities for enob
ling work is presented.
For these reasons industrial enterprises
should be established in every town. Labor
properly managed, not only helps the labor
or, but 1t enriches the capitalist who furnishe,
the money. Properly managed industrial
enterprises are the country's greatest bene
factors.

SeabOard ShoDs,

The Seaboard Air Line shops were recently
burned. Atlanta, Columbia and perhaps
other small towns are making petitions and
showing the advantages OF their respective
places for the rebuilding Of the shops. II
Abbeville would make the proper effort, the
shops might be brought to this place. Let
the council send delegation to the proper
authorities. live do not ask for the shops,
some Of the enterprising little towns like
Atlanta and Columbia may be the winners.

In Hard Luck,

A few years ago Mr.. Montgomery Of Spar
tanburg, this State, went TO Gainsyille. Ga,
and built cotton mill. Less than year
later. Mr.. Montgomery. the builder Of the
mill, fell from scaffold and was killed. Last
Monday cyclone struck the mill and did
great damage to the property. Many OF the
operatives were killed.
1t seems that storms are no respectors OF
persons or things in their way. They strike
with equal violence the church and the mill,
the home and the railroad train.
