From the New York Sun.
There was a time when mica, or ISM

fire within could be seem
With long use the mica might become

of the household would get and set into

Now there are many who don't know
mica at all, not even as it is used in
stoves people born and raised in houses
that are heated by steam. in which no
stoves are used for heating purposes,
but while the number of these is large
and all the time growing, the number of
people who vet use stoves is larger still,
and so while mica may have passed en-
trely out of the sight and mind of many
who once knew it In this use, and in this
use only, the preparation of IL for stove
use still constitutes regular branch of
