How to Economize on the Cit *f
Coal?Bnlldlnfc Fires.
One of the most fruitful sources of
household waste and extravagance Is
Lhe coal bin, and tons of fuel are used
where a single one would give the
j&me results. Open drafts and a range
rull to the covers of glowing coals not
>nly burn a needless amount of coal,
!>ut burn out the range at tbe same
Jme. A shovelful of coal or sufficient
jo lightly cover the fire will accomplish
as much as a half scuttleful, ex;epting
In the increase of the coal
nan's trade.
For a small range nut coal is best;
'or a large one, small egg coaL Red
ish coal makes a hotter lire, with
'ewer cinders, than the white ash, and
lie latter burns more slowly. For
ihese reasons an equal mixture of the
wo is a wise economy. The ashes
aJien from the fire should never be
ihrown into the can until they are
lifted. The cinders thus obtained can
)e used on the fire at times when the
greatest heat is not needed. But they
ihould always be added after the fresh
oal is well aglow.

bever, however, be poured directly Into

["he best way Is to lay the wood on
i shovel and cover it there with the
il, and then add a sprinkling to a
hovelful of coal. Many housekeepers
usure their kitchens against accident
rom this cause by leaving a paj-t of a
upful of oil for the servant's use and
Dcking the rest In the storeroom.

How to Tell Age of Horiei.
The popular idea that the age of a
lorse can always be told by looking at
tls teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, is
lot entirely correct After the eighth
ear the horse has no more new teeth,
o that the tooth method is useless for
elllng the age of a horse which Is more
han 8 years old. As soon as the set of
eeth Is complete, however, a wrinkle
legins to appear on the upper edge of
he lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle la

tee of a horse over 8 years old you
oust figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

Armed For Emergencies.
When Fridtjof Nanscn was a young student,
he attended a ball and danced with
many partners. Returning long after midnight
through the streets to his lodgings, *e
he heard loud outcries from a woman who
was struggling with two ruffians. In an- *r
other moment the woman broke away A
from them and ran toward the spot where n<
Nansen was standing. The two men were
close behind her in hot pursmc. ~
Nansen wag an athlete full of courage vc
and vigor and put himself on gunrd as the v<
men approached. He allowed the woman
to pass, but called upon the Infuriated ?"
pursuers to halt, standing direotly in their w
way and hitting out first at one and then m
at the other. The ruffians, angered by his w
unexpected attack, turned resentfully up- ^
on the rescuer and would have overpow- J"
ered him and possibly have murdered him
if be had not shown prescnco of mind.
Drawing himself up to bis full height and ^
throwing back his coat collar so as to ex- M
pose the cotillon furors which he had
worn during the ball, he 6ternly asked ?
them if they knew who he was.
The two assailants, awed by his manner
and supposing him to be a royal officer, ' J*
were at once cowed. They apologized J?
roughly for not recognizing him, dropped
their arms and sneaked off in the opposite
direction from that which the woman had
taken.

Shaking Hands.
Men shake hands with strangers of ttelr
own sex with far greater readiness than do
women. Two men, on being presented to .
one another, will frequently extend the ?
band in a grasp of greeting which gives
opportunity to form a general idea of each
ether's make up and know whether they
are attraoted or repulsed. Oooaslonally
there is a man with sufficient good nature .
and courage to refuse another man's hand
without causing offense. There are men 11
who have been so impressed with the disooveries
of bacteriology that they maintain gc
handshaking to be the cause of dissemination
of disease germs. The bare hand .
oomes in contact with innumerable germs ,c
looking for pasturage on some vulnerable /
spot of our anatomy. A cut or abrasion .
on the hand leaves a door open for the ad- c
mission of the enemy* Therefore it is with J
reason that men argue against promlsou
ons handshaking out of the home among
the men met in business life. Seienoe long
ago frowned upon the practice of promiscuous
kissing which prevailed amuug
women. Is tbe ungloved handshake also

Perfumes eseroise a peculiar influence jQ
over one's nervous system. A faint, sub- *e

a pungent, rich perfume often has a brao- ^

faint breath of musk invigorates and the VV|
perfume of the aloe and the citron is posllively
soothing and comforting. The dellcate,
spicy odors of pinks, oarnations, apple j(

hich ono never seeing to hear nowadays,
remember ono about sorno people who
id guests invited to n grand dinner. The
ble was spread with all tbo dishes, but
ie meal had not yet been served. The
mily had a great storo of beautiful glass
id china, and it was all on tho table,
ar a moment tho servants wero all out of

1 the people in tho rest of the house
:ard a deafening crash of falling dishes,

Everybody in the house?family, guests,

the samo moment, expecting to see
jthing less than the table overthrown
id every precious dish on it broken. And
hat did they behold? The table set in
;rfcct order, with not a thing on it disirbed.
"What had mndo the awful crashf
obody ever knew. Not a dish was even
eked in that house that day. The spirits,
i the story ran to us, had just made a
rriblo ghostly crash for the fun of it and

I remember that this story impressed
o a great deal more than it would have
lpressed me if the dishes had really been
und smashed, though it could have been
oved that no human being had been in

aced on each of three plates a nice lot ol
