HOW CHARCOAL IS MADE
Method of Burning Is. Much the
Same, Ne Matter Where the
Process Is Carried On.

The usual method of making or
burning" charcoal is to build up n
cone-shaped pile of wood, about twelve
feet in height and ten to forty feet IN
Misunderstanding a central hole or
chimney; then to burn it from above
downward, and from the outside In
ward. The trees are cut down in
winter and should be fairly dry, The
wood is built up with the bark out
ward, the largest pieces being placed
furthest inside, and covering OF
turf. or of charcoal dust and soil. Is
placed over the whole, leaving holeS
at the sides of the bottom for air.
The first three or four days bring our
the moisture onto the cover. The
oneninos around The base are then
covered. and holes are made about
halfway up When the smoke ceases
TO. issue from these, they, are closed
and other holes are made below. Tar
products. which collect when the
charcoal is nearly burned, are re-
moved by means of pipes or CUTTERS
When the air-holes cease to omit
flame and smoke they are covered
and the pile is allowed to cool for
two or three days. Then the charcoal
is drawn" and any pieces still but en-
ing are quencked with water or said.

the South Carolina cook, wait on the
door during the arrival of wedding
guests. True, she made the best sweet
potato pies ever, but she knew so
little Of formal northern customs. How
ever, there seemed no alternative.
Pickle ushered the guests quite solemn

throng the first familiar face, PickiA
broke into loud paean of welcome.

DAMAGE DONE BY ICE STORM
Destruction of Trees Is lncomparably
the Worst Part of the Whole
sale Devastation.

One Of the most distressing conse-
quences of an ice storm is the ire
parable damage done to trees. The
telephone and telegraph poles can *be
replaced Wires can be restrung.
Train and trolley schedules can be re-
stored. One and all these are inani-
mate things. But trees are living things
and can no more be restored without
lapse of time than any other living
thing 1t takes a generation to grow
a fine tree remarks q writer in the
Worcester Telegram. 1t takes a de-
cade to line residential district
street with shade, a second decade for
that shade to increase and become an
asset to the neighborhood a third de-
cade sees the trees which have grown
up with the children become, instead
OF a subsidiary attraction, the priuci,
pal one in the neighborhood.
Yet in single night the careful
solicitude, the care and nurture OF.
the trees is destroyed. The great
limbs which residents have watched
grow for years the towering tops
which twenty years before barely
came to the porch roof and which for
the last ten years have given grateful
shade through the summer and au-
j tumn are broken. split and sundered.
The thirty years have gone for
naught.
Other ephemera things, such as
CohnHnIGS
and trains will resume their accus-
toned routine within day or two
after the skies clear.
Only the shattered trunk OF the
trees untimely cut down by. the Ice
will remain as a reminder.
1t takes generation OF man 10

Frogs in Rocks and Trees.

Attention may be invited to the as
tonishing longevity of the popular
delusion, to which even educated per-
sons at the present day give credence,
that living frogs, toads and other ami
mails are sometimes discovered in
Theoretically sealed cavities in treH
trunks and rocks.
A little reflection shows, from the
very nature of things, that such tales
are incredible, and that those who
vouch for them must be mistaken IN

As Cervantes in the age of the In

in humorous irony in order TO make
known his sentiments without giving
a handle to the Sacred Office-so, too,
Goethe was able, in the character OF
a humorist, TO express what as a

would not have ventured to say OUT
right. Goethe never suppressed the
truth, but when debarred from dis
playing the naked truth he draped IL

Mrs. Harding's Illness.

While grave fears are expressed re-
garding the health Of Mrs. Harding,
there Is word of encouragement today
that allays the apprehension that the
life of the Presidents wife is in dan
ger. The news of her illness came as
shocking surprise, for though it was
known that she has in the past suf-
fered severely there was ground to
believe that she had fully recovered.
But the strains Of Office, which neces-
sarily affect the Presidents wife as
well as the executive himself. have
been especially severe, and Mrs. Hard
ing's illness may possibly be attributed
in some measure to that fact.
Since her arrival in Washington as
the wife of the senator from Ohio, Mrs.
Harding has made her place in the
hearts Of all who have known her
With her accession to the position of
first lady in the land she adjusted
with grace to the change Of situation,
and retaining all former friendships
greatly enlarged her scope Of acquaint-
ance. She has been Of material aid
to the President in his administration.
The prayers of the people of this
country are for her recovery and full
restoration to health.
