Said the End Man: They are going
to sweep the streets of Honesdale
with ladies' corsets." "Why?" ask
ed the Interlocutor. so as to gath
er up the waste" answered the End
Man.
The common practice of ''shak-
ing a fire down." removing the
ashes, filling up with coal and turn
ing on all of the dampers is one of
the most wasteful imaginable.
Slight shaking several times day,
a few shovels of coal applied every
few hours, and with draughts kept
half open means uniform, steady
fire that gives the maximum amount
of heat at a minimum consumption
of coal.
