STOVES AND FURNACES.
Hints and Sncffrxtlon on Tholr Dally Care
and Keeping.
"Why is it that I burn out so many
sets of stove lining?" some one asks.
Let mo tell you. Use a little moro caro
than you have been using, watch and
see that a clinker is not allowed to
form on tho linings, and if one docs
form, remove it carefully with the
poker. At night, the fire-box should
be even full of coal after raking otttall
tho dead cinders ami ashes in tho
range; never fill your stove with coal
above tho top of tho linings. Ncvor
use a shaker when it is possible to avoid
it; instead, use the poker freely and
you will havo a better lire and uso less
cval. Shakincr tho lire banks it down
into a solid mass and tho air can not
circulate through. When tho fire from
any cause becomes dull, do not stir it
over tho top or put in wood, but rako
out the cinders and open the drafts.
tt night do not close tho drafts as soon
as tho coal for the night is put on, but
let It burn for a short time, or as ono
man expresses it, "until you think tho
coal is warm all through." There is
then very little danger of gas, even if
tho stove is a poor one. Tho ashes
should never accumulate in tho ash
pan until they reach the grate. If this
happens oven once, the grate will usu
ally bo burned out. Always run
tho range so that you can get
all the heat needed without having
the top red hot, as this will warp tho
covers and centers, and if a little
water should' happen to fall on tho
stove while so hot the top of tho rango
is vory apt to crack. Keep the stove
veil blacked; if tho lids get covered
with grease turn them over and let tho
top of the lid como next the lire until
tho grease is all burned off. If the
covers aro red and the blaekinir does
not adhere, let them get wet so that
they will rust a little nd then black
them.
Some stoves requiro moro draft and
a stronger chimney than others. On
days when the wind is in a certain di
rection tho drafts usually left open,
will have to ho closed. Have tho smoke
pipes of tho furnace and range taken
down and cleaned out, and at the same
time clean tho inside .of tho chimney as
far as possible. "When soft ecal is used
this must bo done very often. An ordi
nary chimney and range will need to
bo cleaned about ovory two months;
tho furnace just before commencing to
use in tho fall, aniUonco or twice dur
ing tho "winter. Let the coal in tho
ranpi or furnaco burn long enough to
get all tho heat there ii in it beforo re
filling, not until almost burned out, but
until if left longer the (ire would com
mence to cool. A good housekeeper
will know by the appearance when it is
time to fill. Never use oil of any kind
to kindle a fire, as it is not safe.
When buying a rango buy one that is
moderately heavy and inado of the
best quality of iron. All the joints of a
heating stove or range should fit well;
because if they do not, when the range
has been used a short time you will
notice gas escaping and will not bo
able to tell where it conies from.
Tho nickel, on a heating stovo can
be kept bright by wiping often with a
dry, clean cloth. In iho spring when
tho stovo is taken down for the sum
mer, rub tho nickel well with a dry,
soft cloth and then wrap in newspaper;
bo careful not to let the hand touch the
nickel after it is rubbed, as in tho fall
every place that has been touched will
show a rusty spot. If it has not been
touched, it will be found to bo as bright
as when put away. To clean zinc un
der a heating stove, never wet it if it
can be avoided. When new, rub often
with a dry, clean cloth and when moro
is necessary uso tepid water and no
soap.
In buying furnaces thorQ are several
things to bo avoided one is, a furnaco
that will allow the gas to escape. A
furnace to bo properly sot should have

ment that will not burn out. Some
cement used In packing furnaces will
turn to dust tho first tune a fire is built
and will no longer koop tho gas from
escaping. The best commit to be used
is mado of a mineral that hardens un
der the action of heat; such a cement
will become wVliard that U will take a
chisel to remove It. The best furnace to
buy is a return fine furnace or in
other words ono that carries tho
smoke down 4n tho base be
foro it is carried out of tho
chimney. This makes tho furnaco
burn less coal for tho amount of heat
obtained than those in which tho
smoko is carried directly to tho chim
ney. Huy an all cast iron furnace, it
lasts so much longer and requires so
much less repairing; and. be sure the
furnace has a water pan. Always till
the water pan with strictly fresh and
pure water. The amount of water in
the pan can be regulated by tho
amount of moisture you like in tho
house. If this is propeilv attended to.
the objection a great many make to a
furnace, namely, that tho air is too
dry, is removed. Furnaces aro very
easy to mauago and aro so much nicer
than stoves that tho wonder is that
more people do not uso them. If pos
sible have tho furnace set so as to tako
tho cold air from outside; havo tho
cold air box large enough to givo at all
times plenty of fresh air. Thoro is
never too much fresh air until tho air
comes cold through tho rogistors and
then the supply should bo decreased.
It does not tako any more coal to run
the furnace with pure air from tho out
side than with foul air from the Inside.
He sure all tho pipes between tho floors
mid walls aro made doublo. With

WOOD PULP PAILS.
An Intcrmtlnir Drnrrlpllon of the l'rocegi
ii f Their Manufacture.
The pail is ontirely in one pieco and
without hoops, so it never leaks or falls
to pieces, besides being lighter by far
than any other material from which
such vessels could bo made. The pro
cess of their manufacture is thus de
scribed: The wood, preferably spruce
although any soft, fibrous wood will
answer, is first cleared of its bark and
cut to a length uniform with the grind
stone to bo used, generally sixteen to
twenty-four inches. It is then placed
against the face of a rapidly revolving
grindstone, tho grain of tho wood be
ing in a line with or parallel witli the
axis of the stone, and a hydraulic or
worm screw piston keeping tho wood
constantly pressed against the stone
The result, which is washed off tho
stone by a shower of water, after being
screened of slivers and sawdust, is
milkv-wmto liquid. With the water
suflioicntly extracted this is tho wood
pulp used in the manufacture of paper
and indurated fiber ware. Tho process
of manufacture of ware from tho pulp
is exceedingly simple, and is similar in
all the lines made by the company. In
maKinga pail, lor instance, too ma
chine for first molding tho pail from
the pulp is provided with, a hollow per
forated form of cast iron, shaped like
tho insitlo of a pail, and covered first
with perforated brass and then
with lino wire cloth. This form.
worked by a hydraulic piston,
pushed up into a large east iron "hat,
which fits over it very lightly. Within
this hat is placed a fli-vihle rubber bag,
and between this aim the inner form
first mentioned is admitted the pulp,
still in a liquid state. The pulp being
pumped in under pressure, the watt
immediately begins to drain off through
the wire cloth and perforations, and
tho rubber bag fvells until it fills the
hat. The supply of pulp is then shut
off, and water under high pressure is
admitted within the hat and outside
the rubber bag, thus squeezing much
of the water from tho pulp. After
standing some eight to ten minutes the
pressure is shut off, the inner form
lowered, and tho pulp pail removed.
At this stage tho pail is still nearly fifty
per cent, water, but is sufficiently
strong to allow handling. This water
is first all dried out in dry kilns, and
then the pail is turned oft on the out
side with a canrr of saws. After sand

it is charged with a water-proofing com

A DELIBERATE NATIVE.

"A "gangling" fellow stood turning
the crank of a groaning windlass over
a well in a .-and hill town of Western
Tennessee. He was tall and of that
peculiar form to which the inhabitants
of that part of the country give the
name of "hip-shot." Ho evidently
wanted water, but turned the crank
witli such lazy unwillingness of move
ment that he might have been mistaken
forain.in who had been compelled to
perform sonlo wearing task which
would end in a climax of pain. Just
as tho well-bucket came up, a stranger
dismounted from a horse, approached
and said:
"I have been riding through the
swamps and I think I can enjoy a good
drink of water."
Tho native for such he was lifted
the bucket up on to a sort of shelf, took
off his limj) wool hat and began to fan
himself.
The stranger, after waiting for a few
moments remarked, more by way of
hurrying the native than by a desire to
be communicative, that during his long
ride he had been unable to get a drink
of cool water.
The native slowly looked around,
hung his hat on a nail, blew his nose,
threw out a quid of tobacco, rinsed his
mouth and then turned to tako up his
hat, which, in the meantime, had fal
len. "Jjook Here." said tlio stranger, "are

"Hah?"
"I say, arc you going to drink to
day?"
"Lowed I would. Hadentor 'loMcd

He hung his hat on the nail. It fell
down. He took up the hat, looked
around, and hung it on the nail, but
just as ho stooped to drink it fell again
Ho took it up and was slowly striking
it against his leg to knock oil the dust,
when tho stranger said:
"You certainly don't want a drink."

Ho put his hat on the shelf, and. in
grabbing at it as its gradual unfolding
assured him that it was about to fall.
overturned the bucket, whicli, witli
jingling chain, fell to tho bottom of the
well.
"There you've dono it!" tho stranger
exclaimed. "I'll bet it will take you
an hour to draw it up again."
"How much do you wan tor put up?
the native asked.
"Confound"
"That's whut yer Mowed jest now."
"Look here, I'm famishing for wa
