When you remember that gas is itself fine fuel, being used in all the large cities for cooking, heating and. lighting, you realize how much is saved if the gas doesn't escape, but is held in the stove and burned. Notice in this picture of Cole's Hot Blast how the draft burns the coal from the top. It discharges a blast of highly heated air over and through the body of fuel, thus distilling the gas from the fuel, oxydiz ing and burning it before its escape up the chimney. That is why Original Hot Blast This patented Hot Blast Draft doesn't work in leaky stoves and that is one reason why imitations are failures. It really makes $3 soft coal last as long and burn as nicely as $9 hard coal. This wonderful stove burns anything hard coal, soft coal, wood, cobs, combustible rubbish anything. A GUARANTEE GOES WITH IT The rrealest tailor In America after looking over a Clothcraft suit and a Clothcraft overcoat brought to him for examination by one of his patrons, stated In positive terms that they were superior to any othei rcauy-mauc garmcui lie had ever seen.

Clothcraft Ideas, Cloth craft devices and Clothcraft machines have provided so many short cuts accom. filishcd such material sav ngs in the mechanical pro. cesses of clothes-building, that the Clothcrafters are able to turn out strictly all wool clothing exclusively designed and beautifully tailored at prices within the reach of nearly everybody.

Outlook and Inspiration. It is something to put the light and cheer, the broad outlook and the in spiration of a life Intent on culture, into a busy, monotonous, hard-working and uninteresting career. The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle does this! When one forgets the bettor and nob ler things of life high alms, dreams of self improvement, enthusiasm in the gain of knowledge and of taste it is a great blessing to have an awaking of soul, a stirring up to worthier alms and bettor habits. The C. L. S. C. does th in When one gots discouraged because he knows so little and cares so little about knowing it is a great thing to havo something that will put a new motive into one's soul, stir him up to look but of the window and nee the world and to look up to the skios and see the glory of the universe one lives in. The C. L. S. C. does this! When one falls asleep in the daytime and dreams it is night what a noble office it is to wake him up and show him the sun. The C. L. S. C. does this!

This Crentnr la a Mainmnl That Lara and Hatcliti Ess. One of the oddest of the many queer"; and unique creatures thnt inhabit tho antipodean wilds is an animal about the shape and size of the Amerlcnn raccoon. lie is not a curiosity on ac count of his shape or size or because he resembles the coon and lives in Australia, where all nature Is topsy turvy, but' because of n remarkable habit the female of his species has of laying eggs and hatching them after the manner of birds. This queer egg laying animnl, the only creature of tho kind on earth as fur as the zoologists know, is called a platypus. It inhabits the deep forests of the river bottoms of both Australia and New Zealand and, it is said, has mnny of the character istics which distinguish the beaver tribe. The platypus Is not a common animal even in its native haunts, and it Is yearly becoming scarcer because of the war which the natives wage against it on account of Its peculiar egg laying habits. They have a super stitious dread of the harmless little animal because Its habits deviate so widely from those generally noted in fur covered, four footed creatures, their hatred of it being so great that no band, whether composed of half a dozen or 100 families, will settle In the vicinity of a lake or stream until the young men "beat the bush" ami kill every platypus that can be found. THE SEA EAGLE. Haw Thin Powerful Finite Bird Catches Elder Dui-ka. ' In summer the principal food of tho white tailed sen englo Is salmon, va ried by sea birds common along the 'in lets of Greenland. In autumn, when the salmon have ascended to the lakes, the birds resort to tho sea. They ap pear to have a special fondness for elder duck, which are taken by strate gy. Stationed nenr the water In a commanding position, wilh a back ground of cliff, the color of which as similates with that of the eagle's plumage, he sits motionless until a flock of ducks settles near him. After a time one or two dive iu search of food, but not until all have gone under together does the eagle make a sign. He then glides swiftly to the spot anil circles over It close to the water. Willi his sharp eyes he can detect the birds before they reach the surface. At first he is not usually successful, for as soon as they become aware of the pres ence of the enemy they dive again In stantly. But lu time they are obliged to come up for air, and then one of them becomes an easy victim. A full grown elder drake is easily lifted up and borne away in the talons of this powerful pirate. London Field. AN AUSTRIAN CUSTOM. How the Curlitua I.nw A bunt Clnalnri Ilonaea at Miilit Operatea. Ouo of the oddest of the Austrian customs Is the result of legislall in. Ac cording to law, every house must be closed from ,10 o'clock at night until 0 o'clock the following morning. During that time each house Is In charge of an attendant known ns the "hausbesor ger," or caretaker. In large apartment buildings tills hausbesorger is usually a uniformed porter. Every person enter ing the house between 10 at night and U lu the morning must pay to the haus besorger 20 hellers (4 cents). This gives rise to a curious condition. Naturally the man who comes home at early hours need not necessarily pay anything, while the mnu who habituul ly gets in at 2 or 3 lu the morning is a frequent contributor to the hausbesor ger's bank account. Inquiry of tho hausbesorger concerning Mr. A may result in the startling information that he is a most disreputable, mean sort of man, while (he ulglithuwk Mr. B will undoubtedly be lauded as a splendid fellow of excellent reputation. As u conservator of the public morals, there fore, tho hausbesorger can hardly bo called a success. Outlook. Entrllah la Switzerland. Some odd English Is found in a guide book published by the Associa tion of Hotel Keepers of Switzerland. Brevity Is the object of the compilers. Thus tho Algle Grand hotel promises "bill., rest., physic, at the estnbl." It is only after reflection that the reader's wonder at finding a "bill" among the attractions Is allayed by the stop! "Bill." means billiards; probably "Itest" can be had elsewhere than lu Algle! But "rest." means restaurant and "physic." physician. Another hotel at Algle enjoys "corroborative air." A Brare Woman. At all times men knew the Duchess de Gramont as a plain, homely, frank and ruthlessly outspoken woman and called her tho "pockmarked duchess."
