WOULD REDUCE FUEL COST.
Coal That Was Formerly Wasted Might Be Utilized in FoSn
 of Briquettes.

"We shall be using briquettes on con- siderable scale in this country within a very few years" said MT. E. w.. Parker, who was member of the anthracite strike commission last year and is the coal mining expert of the geological sur vey.
 :"This is an industry which, although it has no footho1d to-day, for briquettes are not manufactured commercially as yet in this country, is bound to come to the front Conditions which have been unfavorable for it in the past are rapidly changing. Tn Germany one-third of the entire coal mined is Ignite, nearly all of which is briquetted before being used. Briquettes are retailed there by count in stead of weight A German friend of mine recently told me that when he was at school he used to buy eight or ten bri- auettes each morning, putting them into a porcelain stove, closing the draft tight. They would in this way burn all day long.
 ''For domestic purposes the briquette is an exceedingly economical form of using coal With Ignite, or with the fine coal produces as the result of the min- ing industry, or even very dry bitumin- OuS--dS JuOSG EOdl0 cA 2 Ic&A1Cu " AANAA AO not fuse when thrown on the grate--ef- fciency is greatly increased by this pro- cess. Lignite all goes to pieces under combustion, and with the other kinds that I have mentioned large share of the combustible material is lost through the grate bars. If these were made suf1 fciently small to hold everything in the air supply would be insufficient. But when these eoals are manufactured into briquettes they hold together in that form until consumed. Everything burns to an ash and without clinkers.
 Small sizes of anthracite formerly wasted are now being utilized. Much is being recovered by washers from the old culm banks of the anthracite region. Much coal is still, however, lost in the form of dust, which might be utilized if it could be put into convenient shape for domestic consumption.
 -Four hundred patents had been is l sued on artificial fuels before 1902, none of which became demonstrated success commercially up to that time, so, far as | am aware Tn the last two years there | have been about 40 patents, mostly on briquette processes Washington Star.

The Pale Blue CashrrlereCow,l
By SARAH s. PRATT

n EV. JOHN LAWRENCE sat at his IN study table, leaning on his elbow. his usually busy pen held idly between his fingers. He gazed far over the plains. a trancelike expression in his thought ful eyes; he believed that the time was coming when those plains would be peo- pied and, with the hopefulness which made his missionary life beautiful, he seemed to see the church leading, in- spring and ministering to these peo- pie Already he had visions of school wherein his own wife would be the rul- ing spirit; visions of a hospital, 8 guildhouse and clubrooms. where these savages might grow less savage. Even the fact that thus far only one poor little wooden church building was to be found in many miles did not in the least interfere with his dreams
 How long he might have dreamed, no one knows, but he was recalled by de- 1icious voice calling to him:
 1T am 22 inches around the waist, John, and my skirt length is 43. You know you asked me yesterday"
 Sure enough" he answered, with 8 little start, taking up the tapeline which lay conspicuously on his desk. ''I must get that letter off to-day; but I'd bet ter measure you myself You probably measured with string. That's the feminine way, believe"
 His wife came in, feather duster in hand. and as he drew the line about her waist, he dropped a kiss upon her fore he'd.
 T hope they will send you something pretty"
 Mrs. Lawrence burst into laughter.
 'NThe idea of anything pretty in mis- eionary box, John! Who ever heard of it? It's against the nature of things Perhaps it's wicked, but I have some times thought that they made them as ugly as possible. Do you remember the snuff-colored dressing jacket with the black fringe?"
 Wasn't that pretty?" he queried. '.I always thought it was very elegant, ex- cept when the fringe dipped in the cof- fee"
 You dear dreamer. You don't know what is pretty. You don't see anything but your beloved Sunday school and night classes and sick people. A rheu- matic old Indian woman is beautiful to you if"
 If she is a Christian! Yes, admit 1t, , he said, gently; "all of Gods creatures are beautiful to me, and one Of them most beautiful, and again he gave her
