MOISTEN COAL BEFORE USING;
Fuel Should Be Thoroughly Damp- ;
to Secure Extreme ValuC of
Product for Heating
Dry coal does not produce as much .
but as coal that is considerably ‘
damp. It !h of course u f.u-t that a]
greater heat makes the tel more i
valuable und it. is essential to know!
how to secure the most from ordinary
fuel
Cool that In to be burred in a fur-
nace a stove or a grate for imrrn dlate :
heat will produce nearly one-fourth
' more heat when vet. than when dry
Coal that is to be placed in a stove
or furnace to he ole - ■ d up so as to
; produce a long-continued moderate
| heat will produce a little mor- than
m-fhird u.on* h at If there is plenty
| of moisture than can bo secured If the
j coal is real dry.
j Largo lumps of coal can be soaked
in a pall of water for a half hour and
the heat will he increased nearly on<-
Imp' This is done in eases whore th-
in mps Pro used in stoves tightly
( !••*:. .] such us those known as air-
tight furnaces.
Several pails of water thrown over
a ton of Coal will increase its value
greatly to the. consumer.
Coal will burn briskly in wet and
almost airless mines and it is said
the heat is intense.
When there is a fire and the coal
; pile burns it is diflVult. to drown that
| portion of the. fire with water.
We might as well secure a little of
the heat stored in burning water as to
j permit it all to go unused.
Suwanee River.
Above the bar at its entrance into
j tin* Culf of .Mexico the Suwanee river
| holds Its way with n deep current in
places JO feet from far up through the
; forests of the best hard pine in Flor-
Ida. The river has its romance In l* v-
i iM_r given rise to a melody that like
! "Home Sweet Home/* the affection
; of the heart will never let die. For
lit was here that a French family in
! the reign of Louis XIV came to settle
; upon the river banks and made a plan*
| ration. After a time the father and
| mother died* ad well as the sons aiul
! daughters with the exception of one
i girl It is the legend that this girl i
: disheartened an(* desolate returned to j
i France and there wrote adopting the j
! n<-.gro dialect with which she had been
familiar on the plantation in her girl- i
hood and making a lasting tribute} to !
the “old folks at home” whose graves j
were in a far country.
"April Fool" Pranks.
The custom of playing a joke upon
one's neighbor upon the first of April
is of very ancient origin dating so
far buck In tile past that we are uu-
i able (o tell just when or with what
j nation it had its birth
Among the Hindus there is a feast
which is still observed called the
■■Hull" which continuing several
days terminates on the hist of March.
One of the distinctive features of this
feast is that every one endeavors to
! gend Ids neighbor upon some errand
to some imaginary'person or to per-
sons whom he knows are not at home;
and then all enjoy a good laugh at the
disappointment of the messenger. Tho
observance of this custom by this
peculiar people seems to indicate that
it had a very early origin among man-
kind.
His Composition on Shaep.
The other day In a Cleveland school
this composition was handed in by a
little German boy:
“The sheep are weak and foolish
animals. They are very useful. We
.can use everything on them except
{heir bleat. The sheep learn their
shepherd very easy but other ways
they are dumb animals.
“They eat hay grass and carrot
soup. And the captain of the sheep
is called the belle-buck."—Woman's
. Home Companion.
IN THE FLAMES OF THE PYRE
Disposal of Brahmin Dead a Matter of
Infinite Pathos to the Relatives
Who Watch Rites.
Even as we came opposite the bear-
ers lifted one of them all cool ami
| dripping from the river and laid
I It. the slim small figure. fo qebdly
[ so content on a half-built pyre.
'Brushwood and fagots were built over
1 it and at head and foot and Sides
[the fire was applied. A Brahman dl-
j msted tho rib a and once as tho
i flumes mounted and aspired tho
' brother who was watching clutched
| nt. his h<xirt us there appeared for a
j moment. at tho top of the pyix\ a
girl’s face with closed eyes and
l mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil of lhune shrouded It again
I Tho smoke rose in gray v.horls und
j streamers against the stainless and
| tender blue* of tho sky and still the
j brother watched quiet again and corn*
; posed; ho had given only that one
I sign to show that he loved her whose
ashes now lay among the charred
: und smouldering logs. Or rather it
I was only for the moment that think-
ing of (lays of childhood and dawns
! by the riverside he forgot that It was
not sho who had been consumed In
! the flames of the pyre. Then he re*
i rnernberod again and looking up from
j tho pyre to the dazzling river he saw
i there on our boat bis friend the Bruh-
j man and smiled to him-- Prom "The

EFFECT OF LONG ASSOCIATION
Marked Facial and Other Resem-
blances Noticed Among Those Who
Have Been Together Years
That persons who live together for !
a v< ry long period not only acquire tho j
same inarm“rlsms. but grow a strong
facial resemblance. is on established
fact Hut it is little known that tho
same condition often exists among
mistress and servant being associated 1
together for a long period of years.
There is usually a strong desire on tho
part (f most servants to up* their
mistresses and this added to the fact
of constant nearness often extends
to facial resemblances.
Th re an- in a small town tn New
York state two unusual instances i f
this kind. Two widows live ther«s each
of whom has been attended by a won>
t an servant for more than 40 years. '
In both coses Hie sorvn is have. U •
v m- so like their mislrvseea Urn*.
I they are often mistaken for them and
j their cases have attracted attention
1 far and rear Their voices Over tho
telephone an- So alike that friends
. of tho women have given up this
: method of comnmuicatiou.
Growth of Submarines.
If was the diving boll that first sug-
gested tho idea of submarine boats.
T1 e first submarine on rc< rd was
i constructed in tho seventeenth con- ;
tury by a I.mtchmau nanus] Cornelius |
Drebell. fcd-.o was propelled by oars
1 and was tried in the Thnv.mo Tho
occupants of the boat were -nabb-d
to remain submerged by means of &
compe.sition of a liquid which restored
vitality to the air when it la-ca: o
unfit for respiration The Secr-t of I ho ;
composition was lost. Several other
! attempts were made b«tw*M n that
time and lp*00 when Hubert Fulton. j
an American constructed a lx nit in j
France and l»v tin* use «-f compressed
air tor respiration remained four
hours under water in the River Seine
propelling tho boat in any ."ireethn.
The modern submarines have now at-
tained a stage of perfection with h ;
makes them a formidable form* in
naval warfare. They range from
to 20" tons and over in displacene-nt
and are equipped with most modem
i machinery.
What Londoners Forget.
“What Londoners Forget" is the
title or an article in the London l»::ily
Mirror which shows that the people
of that great city are in the tirst rank
of the careless and absent-minded. A
report from the commissioner of po-
lice shows that during one year 84.876
lost articles were sent to Scotland
Yurd including 10164 bags. 3.428
purses and 32250 umbrellas an aver-
age of 83 umbrellas a day. This re-
port of lost umbrellas is not consid-
ered by any means complete as Scot-
I land Yard probably gets no more than
half the lost shower sticks.
He's Entitled to “E” in Strategy.
! A small boy who attends the Ash-
! land school and Is not. overly high in
! his classes submitted his report card
j for approval to his parents says the
I Kansas City Star. The report of the
i teacher is made with letters K ‘ x-
Icellent; P poor etc. This particular
| report card was lettered P after near-
ly every study but the lad was equal
' to the occasion and informed his*
1 mother that P was perfect. At the
I next meeting of the Parent-Teachers'
i association the mother proudly exhib-
| ited the card and nobody there had
| the heart to tell her the awful truth.
The ReceMional.
j It may be recalled that Rudynrd
Kipling’s poem 'The Recessional"
I (“Lest We Forget") was never copy-
| righted but was a gift to Britain the
empire and the world. It was pub-
lished in the London Times at the dia-
mond jubilee and a check for $500
was sont in payment. This check he
returned saying he would accept
nothing for his poem which he dedi-
cated to the nation so that it i« open
j tor all the world to print and to
