 s.The whortleberry is a small round edible berry which is highly valued for food. The name ,huckleberry is now more common in colloquial language than whortleberry."

 "But Webster does not say SO"
 '.What have got to do with Web ster or any other man? What I know I know. Furthermore, I will prove the huckleberry question right here in our own house. We'll see what the cook says"
 The cook came up in answer to the bell, and MT. Bowser asked:
 Sarah, you know what huckleber- ries are, of course?'
 ''Oh, yes, sir.'
 But did you ever see a whortleber- ry?''
 "Yes, sir; they are the same thing.'
 "Eh! Eh! Whats that?'
 '0The same thing, sir, begging your pardon. My brother once bet $10 that they were different. and he made fool of himself and lost his money. Is that all, sir?"
 There was painful silence as the cook departed, and then MT. Bowser stood up and hoarsely whispered:
 Woman, I see the conspiracy, but will balk it. I presume you have even got the cat on your side"
 Why all this excitement over noth- ingT' asked Mrs. Bowser I'm sure we don't care whether it's whortle or huckIe.
 "But we do care" he persisted. "You have tried to make out that I am an ignoramus, and I propose to slow you to the contrary.

T am going to bring forty different people here to say that am right. You sit right there, and you will hear, from me in about ten minutes" MT.

How to Burn BituminOus Fuel Suc-
 cossfuIly.
 William s. Essick, secretary of the Reading Ra.a Stove works, states that in view of the fact that there have been so many inquiries as to the use of soft coal and coke as substitute for an- thracite coal he had secured all the in formation that he thought was sufh- cient to assure people that coke or soft coal can be burned successfully, says the Coal Trade Journal.
 .When a fire is started bitumi- nous coal in the ordinary cooking stove, all the dampers must be open. The coal will then kind1e quickly. Put the coal on in small quantities or the fire will be smothered Keep the drebox pretty well filled and free from ashes
 "In a range be careful in starting a fire not to fill the firebox too full, as the bituminous coal will swell or ex- pand and raise the lids. Coke can be burned in precisely the same manner.
 ''In fixing the fires for the night in a stove or heater observe the following rules
 'First.-Haye a good, strong fire.
 "Second.-Put on fresh coal.
 "Third.-Let the draft on long enough to burn off the gas. This requires but a few minutes.
 "Fourth.-Close allthe Hampers or, in other words, take off all the draft
 ''In the morning stir up the fire we'll with a poker, put on the draft, and a good, quick fire will soon be secured.
 ''The s1nOkepipe in range should not be less than six or seven inches in diameter. When less,than that, the fire is apt to be sluggish.
 "The fiues, smokepipes and 'chimneys must be cleaned from time to time and the soot removed. The accumulation of soot in stove or heater where soft coal is used Is much greater than when anthracite is used. @
 Experiments have shown" said MT. Essick, 'that soft coal can be used as successfully as anthracite and at less tanSt ''

 Well, that's a queer name. Did you ever hear of whortleberries, Mrs Bowser?'
 "A thousand times over," she replied. ''Oh. you have? We'll, you are ahead of me for once in your life. Perhaps you will enlighten me?''
 You have not only eaten them a hundred times, but I have no doubt you have picked many a pailful. Whortleberries, my dear, are what peo- pie generally call huckleberries' 'They can't be-"
 "But they. surely are.'' T deny it. A huckleberry is a huckleberry and has been ever since any one heard of them A whortleber- ry is an altogether different thing, whatever it is. I thought it queer that you should know. more than did about the matter"
