domestic philosophers will tell you that the fiendish maignity of fur naces Is innate and whereas another blames the furnace makers. Burner cleared up the whole matter by dis covering that furnaces are like chill dren. You can spoil them and set them all wrong by making fuss over thems by coddling and betting them. by humoring their little whims and espe cially by talking about them to their faces in the presence of strangers.
 Sound gospel this. You stand on a thin floor above your furnace, or even stand beside 1t, and, right in its hear centric, impulsive, temperamentaf creature that your furnace is-how it rapaciously devours coal one week, spurns it the next roasts everybody in the house when the winds blows from the North Pole. gives outSno more heat than refrigerator when the wind blows as nightly from the equator.

It sets the flue ablaze. For the next three weeks it won't draw at all One day it eats up coal in a way to make the fuel administration burst out crying. The next it furnishes a splendid fire on practically none.
