Stoves Of an Aae Gone BY.

Somebody interested In antiquities
has asked in print whether soapstone
stoves are now purchasable, and al
though the question will puzzle most
Of those who read 1t eve to know
what such a stove looks like, 1t will
remlnd others, Of an older generation,
that the soapstone stove has not so
very long vanished. People used such
stoves, and burnt wood In them. no
Longer ago than the time when man
sard roofs were admired and as some
mansard roofs still remain In Amer
fcan cities so, doubtless, do some
soapstone stoves. Most Of them. how
ever, are gone. like the earlier cast
iron stoves that had neither door nor
stove pipe, but backed up against a
fireplace In the next DON and both
took In fuel and sent ont smoke
through a hole into the fireplace. In
fact, 1t would take a stable book to
describe and picture the family tree

Nav fredericksburg Stone.

The he~at-resisting building stone OF
Charles Ingvaldsen, a Norwegian, Is
made by mixing ground mica with just
enough clay or like binder to form a
coherent mass. The mixture may be
shaped into blocks. plates or other
forms Of any size, and is fred at a
temperature just high enough to fuse
the mica. The stone has essentially
the same properties as natural mica.
For withstanding very high tcmpera-
lures. equal parts Of mica and quartz
are used with the binder. and this
mixture is fired at a heat sufficient to
fuse the quartz. This stone is claimed
to be not only a very refractory and
durable material but to offer other de-
sirable qualities. such as effective cleo
trio insulation.

Toddy's Story
For Children
BY THE STORY LADY

49, 1880 ~
Peter put a spider on Patty one
day and scared her so that she fell
backward over the porch railing and
cut her head on a rock and good old
DR.. Waters had to come and sew 1t
up.
Peter expected a thrashing but to
his great surprise he was let entirely
alone. They spent their time doing
nice things for Patty who had to
stay in bed a day or SO and no one
even as much as spoke to Peter.
Papa finally forgave him enough to
speak to him and the twins didn't
seem to hold anything against him
but Mama looked grave whenever
h saw him and Peter knew she
couldn't forgive the sight OF Patty
lying on the ground with the blood
staining her fair hair.
Peter was truly very sorry and
promised himself thai even though
it was lots of fun to tease he twins
he would never do 1t again. He was
very good and very quiet and finally
things got SO bad for him that he
couldn't eat. much and there was a
lump in his throat all the time.
One day he was sitting on the
porch and Mama came out with her
mending basket. She sat down to
work and her thread rolled off the
porch. Peter got 1t for her and
when he brought 1t back he put his
head on her shoulder.

and take q leading role in some of
them. I am also fond of designing,
singing and dancing.
