BUILDING AN OPEN FIRE.
Mistakes People Make and Two Ways
Considered to Lead to Success in
This Difficult Matter.

The ordinary way Of building an
open fire is not the best way: that is
putting kindIing and paper under TWO
logs and lighting from below, because
the paper and kindling, when light
ed, only char the log, which smolders
and goes out. There are two good
ways to make a fire. First, take a
log and place it at the back of the
pieces of kindling wood and lean them
upright against it in a tent shape.
Put a little paper under the kindling,
which must be close enough together
to catch, but not close enough to
smother. For che second way, take
two logs and lay Them on a thick bed
of ashes near together. Don't put
them on the tuCirons, for then The
cinders will fall through and will not
heat the logs. On top lay a few pieces
of kindling, allowing plenty of air be-
tween the pieces. Then if you have
any light twigs, Put them on top of
the kindling wood, and on top of all
put the pape'. This fire burns al.
most without any smoke, for the pa.
per burns down till it lights the twlgs,
they light tie kindling, and the kim
ding the logs. 1t takes, however, a
little while for this fire to get start
ed. One mistake many people make
is putting too lnuch paper on the ire,
which leaves a lot of black ashes and
does Ilgood, a very easy way to
light fires is to use short ends Of
candles. This produces a steady flame
under the wood till it lights.-Good
Housekeeping.

GREAT MEN OF A GREAT PERIOD

The death of Fitzhugh Lee recalls
the fact that the striking figures of
the Civil War period are rapidly pass
ing away. 1t is only few weeks ago
that John H. Reagan, Postmaster Cen
eral of the confederacy died. the last
survivor of President Jefferson Davis
cabinet. A little later Gen. Lew Wal
lace, a famous federal general died and
now Fitzhugh Lee, a Major General
against the flag and Major General
under it, has gone. The civil war pro-
duced some most striking figures on
both sides, but one of the unique fea-
lures of that great struggle and the
reconstruction period and the era of
restored confidence which followed is
the large number of men who attained
distinction in the confederacy, fighting
against the union, and afterwards in
civil or military life, or both, under
the stars and stripes. Fitzhugh Lee
was an example of this. A graduate
of and in instructor in, the Military
Academy at West Point before the war,
he resigned his commission to join the
Confederacy. After the war be be-
came governor of Virginia and under
the administration of Cleveland he was
appointed Consul General to Havana.
He retained the post under President
Mckinley, and was at that difficult
post at the time the Maine was des-
troyed and during the times imme-
diately following when a clear head
and diplomatic ability We're required.
He performed his duties with such
astuteness and patriotism as to COM
mand the enthusiastic approval of
every patriotic American. He was
commissioned a Major General of Vo-
lunteers by President Mckinley when
the war with Spain came and at the
close of that war he entered the regular
army again, after being separated from
it for nearly forty years Such an ex-
perience is perhaps unique, outside of
the United States, though possibly
parallels and analogies may be found in
France, in the forty years that fol-
lowed the French Revolution, when
republics followed directories, and
empires, kingdoms and dynasties sue
ceeded each other in kaleidoscope
change.
John H. Reagan was another man
who attained eminence both against
the union and for it, Indeed, he was
eminent in the Texas Republic and her
struggle with Mexico, in the Confed-
eracy and since the war as a Senator
