INDICTMENT OF THE FURNACE
Victim Gives a Few Thoughts on the
Strange Customs of Dweller
in the Depths.
A furnace is partvof the furnishings.
of the basement of a house. It is a
large, obese structure, with a. frank
and readily opened countenance, and
an unappeasable appetite for coal,
which appttite increases as coal in
creases in price. When coal is about
seven dollars a ton, a furnace will be
finicky and pernickety in its appe
tite, demanding only a few shovelfuls
now and then, but when coal roams up
Into the altitudes of financial affairs,
the furnace will be as eager for it as
a girl is for hothouse grapes and im
ported melons in January.
The duty of a furnace is to heat the
house wherein it may be. It stands,
however, between love and duty. It.
loves the coal so much that it neglects
its duty at times. When the mercury
goes down and sulks at the 'bottom of
the bulb the furnace will grow sad and
moody, meditating upon the good old
summer time, and will quite forget that
there are heat pipes running aimlessly
through the "walls. But let a warm
wave come along and the furnace will
grow repentant and say to itself that
it will make amends. Immediately all
the windows have to be opened and
people four blocks away get out their
summer apparel.
A furnace will burn one ton of coal
and produce thereform four tons of
ashes, which accumulate in the cor
ner of- the cellar until a colored gen
tleman comes along and offers to car
ry them out for a king's ransom. ,
The heathen Hottentot has a hard
time, and doubtless deserves aid, but
he does not have to struggle with the
furnace problem nor endure the cold,
calculating stare of the coal man.
Chicago Evening Post, '
MAKING A SURE THING OF IT.
Proprietor of Curio Store Ready With
a Suggestion That Would
Surely Save, Time.
William Weston, manager of the
Tabor Grand theater, tells this one:
On one occasion David Belasco cast
an actor for a certain role in wnich
he had to play the part of a Cossack
officer and every one knows how par
ticular Belasco Is concerning detail.
"You must hunt up a Cossack
saber," eald he. "Not an ordinary
sword, but the real thing." So the
actor man started out on a still hunt
through all the curio stores for the
weapon.
After a fruitless quest lie arrived at
a junk shop kept by an ancient He
brew at Baxter street
"Vat can I do for you?" queried the
proprietor.
"I'm with Belasco," said the actor
man, " and I'm looking for a Cossack
saber."
"Vait a minute."
The ancient one rummaged diligent
ly through a pile of old scraps and
could not find the desired implement
of warfare. He finally came forward
with a rusty dagger. "Here's is shust
vat you want," he exclaimed, intent on
making a sale.
The Thespian again explained that
nothing would suit but a Cossack
saber.
"Vat do you vant to do mit id, myne
frient?" persisted he of the tribe of
Benjamin.
"I'm with Belasco and I have to use
it in a part where I kill a man on the
"Stage."
The old Jew's face lit up like a
birthday cake. "Vy vas it that you
not tell ma this before?" he ex
claimed, in delighted tones. "It is
that you should kill a man on the
stage, eh? Veil, here, -rat's the mattei
with this pistol? - Dake it, my friend
you can kill him twice as quick with
Id." Denver Post
Was the King's Fiddler.
James Blair, widely known through
out Scotland as the king's fiddler, has
passed away at Aberdeen, aged 83
Blair and his father, Willie Blair, had
been connected with the royal familj
as players of strathspeys for over 60
years, and James trained the prince
of Wales, -Prince Edward .and the
princesses of that day in the art of
Highland dancing.
For years James Blair acted as the
special gillie of King Edward, with
whom and Queen Alexandra he was
a great favorite.

DIDN'T GET HIS AERIAL tIN.
Mr. Simpson Meant te Drop in and
See His Daughter.
In the matter of aviation an eccen
tric individual, who sought to make a
flying start from the new Queensbbro
bridge in an aerial splu to Hartford.
Conn., with the intention of droppir
in on his daughter, thinks he has thu
Wright brothers and the Silver Dart
beaten.
His flying machine consisted of an
antiquated bicyele to which was at
tached an immense canvas umbrella,
and in the rear of the machine was a
propeller made something after the
fashion of the wings of a small wind
mill. He trundled his machine up the
north promenade of the bridge, and
then unlimbering his umbrella, pro
ceeded to couple up his propeller.
Watchman Bernard O'Brien got inter
ested. "Goln to take a little spin?" in
quired O'Brien.
"Yep," returned the aviator; "Just a
little jaunt to see my daughter."
"Got your permit?" asked O'Brien.
"Sure," jeturned the unknown,
handing out an old card on which was
printed bridge statistics.
"That don't go," replied O'Brien.
"Hadn't you better postpone your trip
for a day or so?"
But the individual wasn't inclined to
postpone his trip', so O'Brien called to
his assistance Patrick Leddin and
Henry Borsch, who are employed on
the bridge. They finally got the avi
ator and his contrivance off the struc
ture and turned him over to Police
man Kelly. The man gave his name
as Leroy Simpson of 3456 Third ave
nue, Manhattan. In order to make
sure that he would not seek some
other opportunity of-making'his flying
start for Hartford, the bridge men con
fiscated his apparatus. New, York

Joy of Living.
As the years multiply and the end
.draws nearer each day, our thoughts
are apt to turn often to questions as
to what part of our present being shall
exist in that other life beyond the
veil; and we anxiously ask ourselves
whether we are doing anything to pre
pare ourselves for that change, which
will be so infinitely greater than any
transformation through which we have
hitherto passed, and we can but won
der whether any of our past experi
ences shall have -their counterpart in
the world to come. And yet we can
not help feeling that some of our
earthly joys have been so pure, and
havecome so directly from the hand
of a kind and loving father, that it
seems but reasonable we should ex
pect to find their counterpart in the
future; and we think with Bradford
Torrey: "It is good to have lived our
day and taken our peep at the mighty
show. Ten thousand things we may
have come so directly from the hand
of a kind and loving Father, that it
sun, to have loved natural beauty, to
have felt the majesty of the trees, to
have enjoyed the sweetness and beau
ty of the flowers, and the music of
birds so much at least has not been
vanity nor . vexation of spirit"
Charleston News and Courier.
Passing of the Drum.
The dispatch from Russia to the ef
fect that Emperor Nicholas has signed
an order abolishing the use of drums
in the army in time of war will serve
to call attention to the fact that the
drum has been rapidly passing out of
use in the armies of the world. It was
long a picturesque feature of all mili
tary movements, and had its recog
nized place not only in parade and on
marches,sbut on the batlefield itself. It
is still littleimore than half a century
since Daniel Webster, describing Eng
land's . greatness,, declared that her
drumbeats never ceased. It was at that
time almost, If not literally, true. But
England's drumbeats are ceasing, and
have, indeed, almost wholly ceased.
There is no use for a drum on a firing
line of modern warfare, and the move
ments of bodies of men on the march
or on parade can be much better di
rected by the bugle. In Russia, it ap
pears, the drummers are to be taught
to shoot, which will doubtless appeal
to military men everywhere as the
most practical use to make of them.
The drum and the drummer boy are
passing away along with many other
features of the old-time pomp and cir
cumstance of war.
Health and Mountain Climbing.
If women (and men, too) would take
suitable exercise, eat moderately and
slowly, and get all the fresh air possi
ble, they would not in middle life ac
quire figures so ungainly, feel so
averse to physical effort, or drop off
with heart failure. Even stair-climbing
is better than nothing; for the last
year or two, though there is an ele
vator, I have done four flights several
times a day. Reasonable mountain
climbing will bring or preserve health,
joy and youth up to really old age. It
does not require great muscle and
brawn, nor the overtraining which
strains the organs and compels con
tinued 'exercise or collapse'. Its vic
tories over nature leave no sting; the
paths are open to all. Annie S. Peck
in Collier's.
What She Wanted.
Old Lady I'd like to get a pair of
shoes, young man.
Clerk Yes, ma'am. Want something
for everyday wear?
Old Lady Yes; and I want them
good and stout
Clerk Well, here Is a good shoe
an extra strong shoe. It has been worn
a great deal this winter
Old Lady (interrupting) Look here,
young man, I don't want a shoe that
has been worn this winter, or any
other winter. I want a new pair.
Stamping Out Opium Smoking.
From Honan, China, a correspon
dent write: "Most of the opium
planted In the autumn was destroyed
and the land 'was put under wheat
The officials say that when the plant
has bloomed eat they will make an
other search sad If any poppy Is found
the land thafgrows It will become of
ficial land. The shops for selling the
drug are now limited. No one is al
lowed to smoke except at home. While
I was staying 4 an; Inn the official of
ties place. In 'slaking his round of the
lawless fellow wera
lodced there, saw a'nu smokfag-'m
the rooW where I was. and at once
forced Tata to blow out his' lamp. But
almost aa soon, as the oflclal was gone
the smoker began again. At one of
these towns the official Is an opium
smoker. He has signed the pledge
that he has given jap the practice! but
at the same time the report is abroad
that he has man kerosene oil cans
full of the stuff stored away for his
own use. While this is true, he is
pressing the work of making others
stop and not many days ago he put
the wooden collar on six men for ten
days because they had been found
smoking." - n
HARD LOT OF MOUNTAINEER.
On Land So Poor That the Easiest
Kind of Crop te Raise Was
Beyond Him.
It was on a lonely road in the moun
tains. A weary rider was slowly mak
ing his way up the steep mountainside,
pausing now and then to rise In his
stirrups and look about in search of
tome sign of civilization. Suddenly a
turn In the road brought him face to
face with a lank, sallow-faced moun
taineer, seated upon the top rail of the
snake fence which bounded a poor
little farm which had found lodgment
on the mountainside.
The rider paused. "Can you tell me
how far it is to Big Stone gap?" he In
quired. The mountaineer's lips moved in an
swer, but no sound reached the rider's
ears. He "moved over nearer to the
fence and repeated the question. This
time he could barely distinguish a
whispered word or two in the farmer's
answer.
"What's the matter with your' he in
quired, dismounting and walking over
to the fence where the old man sat
"Can't you talk?"
The old man looked pityingly at his
questioner for a moment, and then,
slimbing down from his seat on the
rail, he walked up to the traveler, and.
putting his grizzled face close to his
ear, whispered, hoarsely:
".Yis. I kin talk, but the fact is,
stranger, land is so poor in these parts
that I kaip't. even raise my voice."
GREAT PRODUCTION OF SALT.
Twenty-Five Million Barrels of This
Indispensable Condiment Made
In America Last Year.
There has been a big increase in the
production of salt In the United States
In the last ten years. Close to 25,000,
000 barrels were produced in this
country last year, which was in excess
of any such period previous. Possibly
the largest domestic source is in New
York state, in the vicinity of Syracuse.
Michigan probably comes next
Salt originally Is in the rock form
or In a solution In sea water or brine
springs. The former is obtained by
quarrying or mining and by solution.
With the latter water is poured over
the salt until the mineral' Is saturated
and is then brought to the surface by
pumping. The brine Is boiled down in
large pans.
The finest salt Is boiled at a tem
perature of about 107 degrees centi
grade. Commercial salt, fishing and
bag salt are produced In successively
larger pans and at increasingly low
temperatures. Finer salt Is raked out
of the pans at much shorter Intervals;
in the case of the finest two or three
times a day.
Effective Hint.
Many amusing stories have been
told of the famous pianist Prof. Le
schetlzky's way of dealing with pupils
who did not please him. and the fol
lowing is one of the most character
istic. A certain player who was study
ing under him had such a vigorous
style, and thumped the piano so hard,
that the professor lost all patience.
After repeated reproofs, which failed
to be effectual. Leschetlzky rang the
bell. To the servant who answered
it he said, with a dangerous quiet
ness: "Bring some bandages Imme
diately, please; we require them for
the piano." After that the pupil played
less noisily.
Satisfied with the Sample.
Robert has lately acquired a step
mother. Hoping to win his affection,
this new parent has been very lenient
with him, while his father, feeling his
responsibility, has been unusually
strict The boys of the neighborhood,
who had taken pains to warn Robert
of the terrible character of step
mothers in general, recently waited
on him in a body, and the following
conversation was overheard: "How
do you like your stepmother. Bob?"
"Like -her! Why, fellers. I just love
her. All I wish Is I had a stepfather,
too."

ALLOWANCE NOT RIGHT WORD.
Writer Objects to Term Applied to
Sum Wife Shall Receive from
Her Husband.
"An allowance Is a mighty tae thing
when a Man knows just how much Is
coming in, but I don't like that word
'allowance. Who are yoa to 'allow
your wife to have money? You endowed
her with It as soon as yon nuurrled her.
It's just as much hers as yours. In the
partnership she and yoa are equal If
you married the right sort of woman.
'Allowance.' -Just due would be bet
ter. Give her her just due the first of
every month and relieve her of the hu

a creature perhaps I should say
thoughtless a creature as you for
money.
"I've talked with a good many wives,
and they don't like to ask for money.
Many of them do not realize that they
have a perfect right to it, while some of
them have too much spirit to ask for
what is their due.
"The trouble Jn most cases Is that so
many husbands have the 'lord and mas
ter idea of their position, and they like
to feel that it is for them to say what
disposition shall be made of the money
that they earn?
"But remember that In the great mid

American life is largely composed, the
wife works as hard as the man does,

WRITE LETTERS TO YOURSELF
Advice for Getting a Grip on Feelings,
Adapted for the Quick
Tempered.
Fuzzy-mindedness is just as likely
to attack our feelings as it is our
brains. Feelings tend all the time to
be vague and irresponsible; they must
be subjected to the same clearing pro
cess as our thoughts; they must be
sifted, judged, criticised. The thing
I must try for is the ability to "exter
nalize" my feelings and judge them
squarely. The best rule I know for
getting a grip on them is this: "Put
them on paper." Make a written
statement of your feelings not for
the literary benefit of posterity, but
for your own profit right here, and
now. Take the case of sudden anger
The stimuli toward shutting the jaws
tight and closing the hands go out
instantly from the lower brain. But
remember the formula. Get a sheet
of paper, take a pencil, and write
down the cause of your anger, wheth
er It be justified or not, and what
appears to be the best way of treating
it From Dr. Luther H. Gulick's
"Mind and Work."
Making Cigars.
In the cigar factory the bales are
opened as needed. The tobacco re
quired for the day's work is first damp
ened and then goes to the strippers,
who remove the stem and mid-rib of
the leaf. The leaves are classified Into
wrappers and fillers, and turned over
to the cigarmaker, who. with no other
tool than a knife, cuts out his wrap
pers, shapes the filler In the hollow ot
his hand and deftly rolls the material
into a finished cigar. There are cigar
making machines, but these are sem
ployed only for making the cheaper
grades of cigars from domestic to
bacco. It is a peculiar fact that de
spite the wonderful progress of me
chanical contrivances in all lines ot
manufacture, the better grades of
cigars are made to-day exactly as they
were a hundred years ago. Bohemian
Magazine.
Wonderful Longevity.
One of the most curious Instances
of longevity is found In Miss' Louisa
Courtenay's "Notes on an Octogena
rian." A witness In a will case In
which Bellenden-Ker, the great Eng
lish conveyancer, was engaged, was I
asked If he had any brothers or sis
ters. He replied that he had. had one
brother who died 150 years ago. The
court expressed incredulity, and docu
mentary evidence was produced in
support of the statement This showed
that the witness father, who married
first at the age of 19, had a son who
died in infancy. The father married
again at the age of 75, and had a son
who lived to appear in the witness box
at the age of 94, and made the above
startling statement
And All Unreceipted.
Lord Granard, at one of the many
dinner parties that preceded his mar
riage to Miss Ogden Mills, said of the
imppverished nobility of the old
world:
"What a German friend of mine said
of his family is true of too many fami
lies. "My friend was a graf. I was visit
ing his castle on the Rhine. He showed
me there one day many proofs of his
race's antiquity.
' " 'Dear, me,' I said, staling a yawn,
T had no idea you went back so far.'
"He pointed proudly to an old steel
bound chest of black oak.
'"Why, my boy," said he, Tve got
bills In there dating back to the
twelfth century.'"
Cruel Suspicion.
"Bllgglns is a great reader. He In
variably buys a newspaper before get
ting on a street car."
"I have noticed the paper," answered
Miss Cayenne. "But I am not so sure
he reads It. Maybe he holds it up be
cause he's too polite to see a lady
gtanding."
The Musketeers of Success.
"I owe my success in the walking
line," says Edward Payson Weston
starting out at 71 on his pedestrian
trip across the continent, "to just
three things. They are pride, princi
ple and pluck. If you haven't any ol
these, don't try any real long walk-
ing-
This is good advice, sound and sen
tentlous. It might be extended to other
pilgrimages than those from salt wa
ter to salt water. Pride, principle and
pluck are the three musketeers that

said the man. "Well, Tom's a nrst
rater, take him just right., but he's
mighty queer."
"What do you mean?" asked the
traveler.
"Well, it's like this." and the man
looked at the stranger in a calm. Im
personal way. "He'll be setting out
side, most probably, and he'll see you
coming; he'll take a good look at you,
and ef you don't suit him. he may set
the dog on you. ' y
"Ef he don't, and you get to talk
ing with him. and say anything he
don't Just like, he throw you down
and- tromp on you. But ef you're too
careful in your talk, on the other hand,
he's liable to take you for a spy and
use his gun fust and listen to explana
tions afterward.
"But it's no use trying to get by
without stopping." concluded the man,
with evident relish of the prospect ho
was opening up to the stranger. "Ef
you was to undertake that, 'twould be
all up with you. for he'd think you was
proud and blggetty.
"Ef you want to come out of the
mountain whole, don't go past Tom's
cabin without stopping, whatever you
do!" Youth's Companion.
WOMAN HAS SPIDER FOR PET.
Somewhat Remarkable Taste Dis
played by Wife of Prominent
English Churchman.
The dean of Carlisle's pet spider,
which he mentioned In a recent speech
at Carlisle. Is in an ante-room at the
deanery.
"Mrs. Barker discovered it." said
the dean in an Interview. "I have been
asked to photograph It. but it is in such
a position that this cannot well be
done. At present it is in a dormant
state. Mrs. Barker comes and tells
me about It every day, and she Is wait
ing for the time when it will spin its
little web."
Asked what would be done with It
then, the dean replied: "Oh. she will
continue to take care of it." Although
most ladies have a horror of spiders.
Mrs. Barker Is specially fond of them.
"But all animals," added Dr. Bar
ker, "are a source or dcllgnt to us.
Flocks of birds come to our gardens,
Including sparrows, tomtits, robins
and ravens. Mrs. Barker goes Into
the garden in the morning, whistles,
and at once the birds will collect
round her. She feeds them with suet,
meat and bread. We have rings sus
pended from the trees for the tomtits,
and we have placed artificial rests In
the trees for them."
Dr. Barker quoted Bishop Butler in
support of his belief that animals have
a future life. "Why should they not?"
he asked. "A dog thinks and reflects.
Look at the flight of birds. Who
knows what Is passing in the intelli
gence of these animals?"
Woman Out of a Job.
The -Now York Times has an Inter
esting editorial on the "Woman Out of
a Job." This is not the business worn
an seeking a position, but the so-called
home woman. There was a time when
the gtrl made her wedding clothes
and the expectant mother fashioned
dainty garments for her first born,
Now trousseaux and layettes can be
bought ready made much .better and
cheaper than they can be manufac
tured at home. The mother does not
rock her baby to sleep, as that is
forbidden; nor does she rock the cra
dle, for there are no cradles. It is un
sanitary to cuddle the baby, and It la
put to sleep by Itself. Women living
in "two rooms and a bath" are com
panlons for their husbands, and not
helpmeets. The exigencies of modern
life make this enforced idleness neo
essary, and what wonder that women
want something to do? It is foolish
to tell them "to go back to thelx
homes," such as they are. for they
are only "out of a job" in them.
Dolly Wasn't Brave.
Little Grace went into her mother's
darkened chamber in search of her
dolL She ran out so very fast that her
mother said: "What makes my darling
