A furnace is a cOntrivance
that takes in coal and gives out
smoke, dust and ashes. 1t is
designed 10 make you warm,
especially under the collar, and
is most ingeniously cOntrived TO
generate warmth on hot days
and coolth on cold days.
Furnaces are very sensitive to at
mospheric conditions. At the first
symptom Of a cold snap they be-
come paralyzed and curl up in a
hard knot, roll over on their backs
and refuse to function. When spring
comes down on the world again, they
regain their pristine gaiety and get
all het up with enthusiasm and vi
tally.
Furnaces are usually situated
down in the basement next to the
janitor's apartment so as to keep
him comfortably warm. first and
foremost. How well they illustrate
the old maxim: "Out Of sight, out Of
luck" They burn hard coal, soft
coal. or coke, il makes no difference
which, except in the bills. II is
called hard coal, because it's hard
TO get and hard to take at the price
when you get it. Coke is coal with
a past-it has seen life and has had
most Of the sufflng knocked out Of
it. Soft coal is called soft, because
if you were hit on the head with a
lump Of It, it wouldn't hurt you
much. Come in" said the old lady
to the tramp. the dog won't bite
you-scarcely."
Furnaces are regulated by
theromstats. which is from the
Latin: "thermo," meaning heat,
and stat" an abbreviation of
"statso?" Hence thermostat
means: Heat? Statso?"
There are hot water furnaces, hot
air furnaces and steam furnaces
and some of them can be kept sup
piled with coal if a man shovels
madly II hours a day and has some
one to spell him on the night shifts.
our forefathers never knew the
JOY Of running a furnace. All they
had in their artless simplicity was
a log fire. about the size Of All
alarm which kept them toasted a
light brown all winter. Among those
who do not know what a furnace
isare Laplanders. Yaplanders (in-
habitants OF the Islam dof Yap),

Fortunate POIIi0COg
BY ARTHUR BROOKS BAKER.

BY ARTHUR BROOKS BAKER.
I found pensive polliwog inhatbit-
a lake,
But did not shake him by the hand
he hadn't one to shake.
The only mobile member which the
polliwog possessed
He shook with great enthusiasm,
energy and zest,
And while to me it seemed to be
void and futile thing,
The polliwog was happy, for heard
him gaily sing:
You see me as a polliwog incon-
sequent and frail;
My only occupation is TO agitate my
tail.
But wait until tomorrow comes and
you shall duly see
How beautiful. impressive and i'm
posing / shall be;
For though today I'm nothing but
pensive pOlliwog,
Tomorrow I shall constitute grand
and gorgeous frog"
So II you are a polliwog, my dis
concerted friend,
This vital germ Of precious hope
cheerfully extend:
The laws of nature all conspire to
cultivate a change;
Tomorrow you'll develop into some
thing new and strange.
\ f-gA u,
a blue and bhghting fog
Because you temporarily remain a
pOlliwog.

Ny daughter, sweet are the uses
Of perversity; for. verify, verify. op-

Lo. whose ereateth havoc among
women. like unto a professed Wom-
an-Hater?
Whose piqueth the vanity OF the
Cuties and arouseth the spirit Of
the chase among the Highbrows and
the Flufy-heads, like unto him that
saith eco away from met?
- Even as a NO trespassing" sign
doth he intrigue them. Even as

curiosity and awaken their sporting

For. that thing which a woman is
denied, that will she have, though
she pursueth IL unto the uttermost
ends of the earth, and the farther
most corners of the drawing-room.
What. therefore, do all his dod-
gings and his strugglings avail a
Woman-H Halter? For. while one
damsel lureth him with smiles and
vampings, another stilleth his alarms
with promises of platonic friend

And. in his madness to escape the
one, he plungeth into the arms of
the other.
And she getteth him!
Likewise. whose kindleth the spirit
Of conquest in men, and inspireth
their desire. like unto her that hath
foresworn love and marriage?

propinquity, curiosity, and obstinacy.
And, the greatest Of these is OBJ
