Saturday was St. Pairick's day ? a
a day dear to the heart of every patriotic
Irishman, and one which he singles out
from every other day in the year. No matter
in what portion of the world he may
be, the true son of the Emerald Isle will
honor St. Patrick's Day. While it reminds
him of the dark cloud which has so long
hovered over his native land, it also brings
many pleasant recollections, and recollectiAr>c

heart leap with emotion as they well up in
the storehouse of memory. He goes back
in imagination to the days of his childhood
innocence when with glowing life and spirits
he climbed the mountain sides or bathed
in the broad streams and lakes whose rippling
waters purl along the grassy banks.
Blessed with robust health and too young
to understand the unfortunate condition of
his country, he roamed the green fields as
happy as the larks that flitted over them.
He remembers also as he grew to manhood
\ the winsome lass, whose cheeks were like
the bloom of the rose; whose eyes were like
tbe azure skies in June, and "whose voice
was sweeter than all other melodies of earth.
No after joys can equal those which were
his when hand in hand he first walked
with her who was destined to share with
him the joys and woes of life. When he

THE FUEL OF THE FUTURE _
Coal Grourd sti a Cyclone Fuiverizer?isi
Furnace 3Ien Pronounce It a Success.
The steel and iron men of the country
and all the rolling mill and furnace me;
also, are interested in the newest rival tnatural
gas as a saver of fugL It was ;
modest little exhibition that was given ii
Chester, Pa., the other day, but it prove*
pretty conclusively that where natura
gas is not, pulverized coal is snre to b
ere long. J. G. HcCauley, of California
for that is the discoverer's name, .claim
to have found a process by which 50 pe:
cent, of the coal now used in furnace;
and rolling mills Trill be saved, and stee
and iron greatly improved in the puddling
process.
McCauley is one of the latest addition
to the array of genius collected by Erastu:
"Wiman, the Staten Island millionaire
The Catifornian hunted around a gooc
while in search of a man of means wh<
would appreciate his invention. He coulc
have had all the capital he wanted severa
years ago, but no "wasn't able to gePcoa

in spraying coal that is pulverized into ai
impalpable powder into a cumbustioi
chamber attached to the furnace. The
combustion that takes place is perfect,
and it is instantaneous, and all the gases
are absorbed, so that none of the sulphm

is now the case. That's all there is to the
new process, hut it does the work, provided
the coal is powdered so fine thai
you can blow it around as you can the
smallest particles of dust.
It was at this stage of the- proceedings
that McCauley met "Wiman. The mar
from the Pacific coast explained his process
to the Staten Islander. The lattei
said he would test it, because he had a
maehmfi "hft pnt from twn Wismmsir
farmers that -would grind tie coal out oi
sight if necessary. Two young Wisconsin
farmers were plowing when they saw a
cyclone come along safely out of theii
way, and tear a town up. They noticed
how the two currents of air, moving in
opposite directions, knocked houses, barns
and paving stones into smithereens. The
thought struck one of them that if that
principle could be applied in machinery,
it would make the biggest grind in the
world. So the young men, whose name
was Kaymonci, ana wno were brothers,
went to Chicago and invented a machine
that they called the cyclone pulverizer.
Wixnan met the Raymonds rmd they were
his, and so was their machine. The Staten
Islander has a fortune in the pulverizer,
which has yet to meet a material it can.

"RAvmnnrts wprfl nairt n. frvrfcnnft hv Wimcn
for their discovery.
So McCauley and- Wiman formed a
combination. Wiman's machine pulverized
the coal and McCauley tested his
process at the big Chester worts. It was
a success beyond doubt, and had it been
put into operation before natural gas was
discovered, it would have had a clear
monopoly of the field. It isn't a free pufE
to say that pulverized coal sprayed into a
furnace unquestionably saves the manufacturer
hundreds of dollars a day. The

present at the Chester exhibition. Outside
of the natural gas localities pulverized
coal is going to be the fuelof the
future. McCauley and Wiman are even
bold enough to say that they will confront
natural gas right in Pittsburg with
sprayed coal. The conflict ought to be an
interesting one. Certain it is that to the
industrial world the new process of McCauley
is the biggest item of news it has

] One Kind of Reading.
g I Arid how few persons who can devote
J but an hour or half an hour a day tc
J reading and study, take due thought as
a I to how they can make the most of theii
oj little leisure. They read in a desultory
a ! wav whatever comes to hand, and thini
a that if they had more time for book;
:1 they would" soon become much better
" informed. But the half hour a day, iJ
e used in the wisest manner, would make
' a vast difference in one's mental growth
? as the years glide by.
s An incident occurs to me that well ii2
lustrates this. A pretty maiden-haii
j fern, growing in a flower-pot, was given
to a young girl, hopelessly 511 with
3 spinal disease. It proved thing oJ
s Kaonfrr nf inPThnnct.ihlfl interest
. as the delicate, gracefnl fronds came up,
one bj one, and slowly uncurled. There
was a little pot beside the fern and
under its spreading fronds, in which
grew an aloe. By-and-by the sick girl
noticed in the little pot some tiny ferns,
scarce an inch high, quite unlike the
maiden-hair. Whence came they? Hei
j interest was aroused. She was no
; botanist, but she wanted to learn some
( thiDg about ferns. She could use hei
> eves for reading but five minutes at - a
: time, and not more than twice a day.
5 A book on ferns came to her, and an>
other, and another. Friends, knowing
- her interest in ferns, brought them to
1 her fresh and green from the woods, o?
) sent her pressed specimens of rare
varieties gathered in distant lands.
5 Sometimes a visitor would read to her
[ from one of her precious books, but
. only for four or five minutes. "1 cant
not remember more at a time," she
L. would say, "and you have, read enough
: for me to think about for a long time."
i It is now some years since the maidi
en-hair fern was given to her, and she
has become an authority as to the
species and culture of ferns, and is an
enthusiast in regard to them. It is true
that she has become educated in one
direction only, and is not particularly
well-informed in other respects. But ia
it not a great gain that she should talk
about her ferns and 'their wonderful
method of reproduction, awakening her
listeners' imprest and teaching them
many things worth remembering, rather
than to dwell chiefly on her pains and
. privations? It is many years'since she
was able to step out of doors, but when
von are with her vou do not think of
1 her as an invalid, so interested and in
teresting is she.
The growth of eryptogamous plants
' would not be a matter of absorbing in
terest to all persons, but the habit of
reading thoughtfully and carefully
what we read, and of retaining it in
i' memory, is a great factor of mental
growth.?Boston Transcript.

By some accident or another, we will

. that their little Adete shall become a

Mme. Theodore, the professor of the

and pronounces her to be fit or unfit for

and if she works Itard she will become a
passable dansertse in about ten or
twelve years. The first stage is

In the twinkling of an eye the little

A BIG BABE ROOM.
L<ec ns icos at tne room, it is a large,
, bare room, with bars fixed parallel to the
| walls on three sides and a sloping floor,
to accustom the pupil to the sloping stage
of the theatre. Along the free wall are
benches, and two cane seated chairs ae1
commodate the professor and her assist
ant, who plays a fiddle or sometimes a
sort of harmonium. The girls, of whom
the oldest is perhaps 13, wear low necked
corsages leaving their arms bare, white
muslin skirts, broad sashes of bine or red
ribbon, pink tights and gray canvas shoes.
They-are a lean, scraggy Jot, not lovely to
look npou individually, but full of good
humor and vivacity.
? ' AIIat^o o tr/vs T\1oAoe!>I
cries the professor, and the girls ran to
the bars, and the fiddle gives the word of
command, j =.t as the bugle calls direct
the soldier. There is no melody, but
simply a series of andante, allegro, pizzicato
and trill movements, each followed
by a tremolo, so that to the untutored ear
the sounds suggest the confusion of the
timing of an orchestra. Brit the dancers
understand that sach and such notes indicate
such and such a posture at the bar,
Vsv V/OyJ ?r, 4-"U ~
wiuuu uiuou w nciu oo iuu^ uo tut; jjiufessor
keeps up the tremolo; other notes
followed by a tremolo indicate another
posture. And at every moment during
the lesson the professor intersperses her
remarks with the words: "Souriez! Souriez!
Mais sotrriez done!" (Smile! "Won't
you smile?)' For in the midst of the most
difficult and torturing dislocations the
ballet girl must smile, and the art of
smiling has to be learned just like a step
or a developpe.
After half an hour of these general exercises
at the bar there comes a rest, and
the little girls begin once more to chatter
and flatter, while the professor lays the
dust by watering the floor in geometrical
interlacements. Then follows the adage,
or second part of the lesson, which consists
of an ensemble and composed steps.
The dancers take place in the middle of
the room in rows; Mme. Theodore holds
tip ner ssircs ana inaicaces tne step, ana
the little ones begin to bound, whirl,
pirouette, form groups by twos, and smile
in unison, while the fiddle scrapes queer
tunes and the professor cries in strange
terms: "Ballonne, fondu, assemblez,
soutenez, souriez. Mais souriez done!"
Always that smile! AL
At intervals there are moments of rescn
but the zealous pupils do pot rest; they

SAVE YOUR HANDS.
Precautions "Which Should Be Adopted
Dy All uouseKeepers.
Women who have done housework a long
fame are in some instances troubled by enlargement
of the joints of the fingers and
bands. This trouble is brought on by the
exposure of the hands to the extremes of
temperature, and especially by putting
them in hot and cold water, and letting
cord air come in contact with them after
Laving had them in water. This may be
avoided in several ways which I will mention.
A handled dish-mop can be used for all but
the very worst dishes, and the hands hardly
be wet. Another ofj these mops can he
profitable utilized in cleaning lamp c'nim- aeys.
With a self-wringing mop a floor can
be washed without wetting the hands; a
model housekeeper of my acquaintance uses
one, and says that with but half the labor it
Is as effective as a common mop.

are best knit.'but two thicknesses of old flannel

wear, for making beds in cold rooms, or
any work which chills the hands and can
be done in mittens.
Wearing an old pair of thick gloves, or
better yjt, loose mittens made from an old
rubber blanket, when blacking stoves, does
away with the necessity of washing the
hands after the operation. A little whisk
broom is useful in cleaning windows; the
glass can be washed and rinsed with it, and
for the corners it is especially nice.

press the suds from the articles in the tub
and lift them to the surface, where only the
tips of the fingers need he used in* feeding
them to the wringer.
Apples or vegetables to be pared in winter
should be brought from, .the cellar in season
to allow of their surfaces being warmed
before being handled.
Clothes taken from the line in cold
weather should either be handled in mittens
or allowed to stand awhile in a warm
room before being folded or sprinkled; for
the latter operation warm water should be
used. A tin box with, a perforated cover,
such as pepper and spice are sold in, makes
a good sprinkler.
It may be thought tao mnch trouble to do
work in this way, and doubtless it will take
more time at first; but it will be found after
a fair trial to be in reality superior to the
old method. At all events it will pay in the
end. "An ounce of prevention is.worth a
