DOWN IN THE FIRE ROOM.
Raking the Ashes From the Furnace of
an Ocean Liner.

My Watches four hours long, be-
gan at s in the morning and at 4 in
the afternoon. The rest of the time
was mine excepting when it was my
turn to carry water and help clean up
the mess room.
The first descent into the fire room
of an ocean liner is unforgettable.
Going down that series of ladders into
the bowels of the old Elbe, the heat
seemed to jump 10 degrees a ladder.
At last the final ladder was reached,
and we were at the bottom-the bottom
of everything was the thought in more
minds than one that afternoon. The
head fireman of our watch immediate
ly called my attention to a poker, easi-
" an inch and half thick and twenty
to thirty feet long. "YOurs!' he scream
ed. Yours And he threw open one
of the ash doors of a furnace, panto-
/ mining what l was to do with the
poker. dived for it madly, just barely
raised it from the floor and got it start
ed into the ashes and then dropped
none too neatly on top of it. Hurry
up, you sow-pigr' the fireman yelled,
and l struggled again with the terrible
poker, finally managing to rake out the
ashes.-Josiah Flynt in Success Maga-

1.-THE kind they grow in Massachusetts,
lily last season. An editorial repre-
sentative of the New England Home
stead inspected the orchard when it
was in fruit and found the enterprise
an unqualified success. All of the COM
mon fruits, such as apples, pears,
plums, peaches, nectarines, etc, were
found in the dwarf fruit garden. Fine
large apples We're seen growing ON
trees not half as tall as Il man. The
fruit in some instances was within two
or three inches of the ground. In the
case of pears the trees were about as
high as ones head, ard the limbs were
literally loaded with delicious fruit.
The peaches, too, were bearing heavily,
and the close planting did not seem to
injure the quality of the fruit.
In Professor Waugh's opinion dwarf
apples are the most interesting and
valuable of dwarf fruits. OF the forms
under which they may be cultivated
the simplest is the bush or vase form.
They succeed very we'll as upright
cordons and all the simpler modifica-
tions of this form. AS the trees can
be planted very close together (easily
as close as fifteen inches), thus occupy
ing very little room, large number
of them can be planted in very limited
areas of the city lot or back yard.
The apple adapts itself admirably tC
horizontal cOrdons. Dwarf apples re
qU.re practically the same cultivation
and care as standard apples. The sol
should be cultivated the early part o.
the summer and allowed to rest tn,
latter part of the year. Cover crops
may be sown during June or July, ac

The II eeth.

The accumulation of tartar on the
teeth makes them unsightly and is of
ten the cause of a bad breath. If the
teeth are properly brushed each day
tartar will not have the chance to ac-
cumulate, but if 1t has already been
allowed to do so 1t can be removed by
a very simple treatment. Moisten the
toothbrush la warm water and dip II
into magnesia. Rub on the teeth, and
after three applications the tartar will
have entirely disappeared.

What Rules the World.

Many years ago John Brougham,
Lester Wallack, Artemus Ward and
others used to meet after the play al
Windhurst's, in Park row, in New
York One night the question, "What
rules the woTld?" arose, and various
opinions were expressed. William Ross
Wallace, who was present, retired be
fore long and some time later called
Thomas J. Leigh from the room ant
handed to him poem which he ha(
Just written. Mr.. Leigh read it alouC
to the company. and Mr.. Broughan
made Il happy little speech of acknowl
edgment. The thing was entitled
"W'hat Rules the World" and the frs
stanZa ran:
They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He wields a mighty scepter
Ger lesser powers that be,
But mightier power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled,
And the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

Easy to Make spsrrows Show Their
Fear OF Trap.
One winter day l made an expert
ment with sparrOws to see exactly how
far their natural suspicion would hold
out against hunger. l had often no.
ticed that if one put little bit OF
string, a large button or any strange
object among breadcrumbs the spar
rows would not touch the bread. They
feared trap. Starlings are less sus-
picious in this way. If they care
about the bread at all, they are more
trustful and do not make any fuss
about some small foreign object. But
l thought hard weather might make all
the difference even to Sparrows
So l put a long piece of apple peel
among the bread. 1t looked quite good
to eat. but might be taken by a very
suspicious bird for something of the
nature of string or tape, which spar
rows seem to regard with particular
distrust. Can they regard it as an
emblem of captivity? Directly the
bread was thrown on the ground about
HIly SpdIloNS petCHeu III lIee doONe
it, They looked at it very glumly, and
not one ventured to come down. Gen
orally they would be devouring the
bread within a few seconds. For a lit
tie over three hours a crowd of spar
rows watched the bread with the ter
rible piece of apple peel lying among
it, but it remained untouched. Then
one sparrow made up his mind to take
the risk. He was soon followed by all
the others. In twenty minutes the
bread was gone. But they had wasted
over three hours.-St. James Gazette.

Owing to an over sight ne never presented the bills until the present week.

The moral obligation to pay an honor debt never becomes outlawed, no mat ter if the statutes may provide to the contrary.

Rice at Weddings.

At wedding breakfast, according
TO What to Eat, bridesmaid was
heard to tell the true reason for rice
being used at weddings. 1t was once
believed that If on their wedding jour
ney n newly welded couple saw hoek
Of doves II would mean long life OF
peace and happiness to them. A bridal
party in passing so frightened fock
OF these timid birds that they flew
away In great alarm, and to avert the
evil omen that their fight signified for
the newly married couple rice. was
thrown In great quantities to lure the
birds back to the place from which
they had flown. This plan was so
successful that the welded pair went
on their way rejoicing and lived ever
afterward q happy and prosperous lie.
Since then rice has been used as q
symbol Of good luck, peace and happi'
ness at weddings.
