Before starting to build fire free
the CRATE from ashes. TO do this put
on covers, close the front and back
hampers and open the oven damper.
Turn the CRATE and ashes will fan into
the ash receiver If these rules are not
followed ashes will fly over the room
Turn the CRATE back into place, remove
the covers over fircbOx and cover the
CRATE with pieces Of paper twisted in
the center and left loose at the ends
Cover the paper with small sticks or
pieces Of pine wood, being sure that
the wood reaches the end OF the fire
box and so arranged that it will admit
air. Over pine wood arrange hard
wood; then sprinkle with two shoyeis
Of coal, Put on cover, open all closed
hampers, strike Il match and apply un-

When it gets 10 burning well put on
sprinkle Of coal After the gas has
burned out close up most all Of the
hampers, leaving little opening on

METHOD ELIMINATES WASTE,
Bureau of Mines Announces New
Marble-Quarrying Theory.

Perfection of method by which, 1t
Is claimed, excessive waste in marble
quarrying may be avoided and in con-
sequence thousands of dollars saved
Is announced by the bureau of mines.
Bureau officials explain that one of
the prolific sources of waste is the
condition of internal strain in the
process of quarrying which causes the
rocks to break up into irregular frag-
ments To avoid this waste it Is sug-
gested that rows of deep. closely spaced
vertical drill holes be projected across
the quarry in such a manner that the
rock may expand and partially close
the drill holes thus giving relief from
strain without the destructive frac-
turing. This method, 1t Is said, has
been tried out and has proved a sue
cess.
The bureaus figures indicate that
from 90 to rs per cent of the marble
quarried In many localities is wasted
unnecessarily.

Remarkable Bread Baking.

From London Ttt-Bits.
What we wonder, was the ultimate
result of an experiment made in
MaryIebone in April. 1884? Two
Frenchrnen affirmed their ability to
produce $50 four-pound loaves from a
sack of -four, which at that time pro-
duced only 80 to 100 loaves. The
Marylebone Guardians lent their
bakery for a trial. The bread was to
bear chemical tests. and to contain
nothing pre1udicial to health, but the
process by which it was made was to
remain the secret OF the two French
men, who offered a demonstration Of
their skill. The experiment was de-
clared at tho time to be perfectly sue
cessful. Two sacks Of -four, under
seal. were Issued by the workhouse au-
thorities. One was worked UP by Eng
