OPEN FIREPLACE IS FRAUD
Almost Invariably It Won't Draw and
If It Does Draw the Chances
Are That It Won't Heat
There Is nothing that looks better
In a picture than on open fireplace.
The old Dutch masters discovered that,
and wily craftsmen ever since have
used the knowledge. Witness the flour
lulling modern school of commercial
art. It's a poor phonograph that caa't
be seen peeping out of the balf light
thrown from a fireplace, with Its lucky
possessor lolling near by in an atti
tude of ecstatic adoration. It'a a poor
brand of socks that can't be worn be
fore the andirons, or of chocolates that
can't be munched by pretty girls In the
same effective setting. An open fire
place has come to be one of the stock
properties for producing an effect of
cheerlness, and. Indeed, the matinee .
Idol's heart-rending dilemma Is never
so heart-rending as when he tells his
Jiosom friend about It before a stage
fireplace, with the red incandescent
flickering realistically and the violins
sobbing a soft accompaniment.
But enough of thnt old hoax, says
the New Sun. The open fireplace is a
fraud. Almost invariably it won't
draw Jack London, who, whatever
crabbed stylists might say of his writ
ing, at least knew life out of doors,
made It the summit of achievement for
one who had gone back to tho soli to
make a fireplace that wouldn't smoke.
And when It does draw it won't heat
And If It does both, the chances are a
hundred to one there Isn't enough cord
wood In the whole neighborhood to
keep It going half a day. One of the
many comic sights to be seen In a su
burban bungalow Is a pyre of bits of
packfng-ense, small branches of trees,
scraps of timber left by the builder
and such combustible whatnot touched
oft solemnly to show a helpless week
ender what a real open fireplace is
like.
Those who must burn wood to keep
warm don't do it so foolishly. A box
stove of the old kind, thnt will hold
chunks two feet long, thnt has no
grate, but holds tho embers glowing
redly about the fuel still burning, that
roars In a cheery crescendo as th
winds mount outside, is the proper
caper.
Throw open the swinging door. Was
there ever so brave a glare of livid
embers, pulsing with the breath of the
fire? A atenk would and does broil
there in a Jiffy. Bread Is but passed
before it, and comes out toast. Pota
toes bnko nestling In Its bedded ashes,
tea water bolls as if by magic. A
thing of comfort that old box stove.
On the wall behind It Is a nice, white
blank space thnt may sultnbly accom
modate oue of those nice pictures of a
fireplace.
The Grape of Brazil."
A notable feature of gardens within
a certain area about Rio de Janeiro Is
tho Jubotlcaba tree. The delicious fruit
Is often known as "the grape of Bra
zil" on account of Its appearance, and,
as described In a bulletin of tho United
States department of agriculture, is
conspicuous from its peculiar habit of
growing directly upon the bark, not
only of the small limbs but even of
the trunk and exposed roots. The tree,
growing to a height of 35 to 40 feet,
branches freely close to the ground,
spreading Into a symmetrical leafy top
of great beauty. Tho flowers, produced
singly and In clusters, often cover the
entire bark above the ground. Tho
fruit develops rapidly to a dlumeter of
half an Inch to an inch and a half, has
a deep maroon-purple color, is covered
with a thick, rather tough skin charged
with coloring matter and much tannin,
and contains the translucent Juicy
pulp, having an agreeable vinous fla
vor suggestive of tho Miftcntlne grape.
Ono to four flattened oval seeds, a
quarter of an Inch long, are Inclosed
in this pulp. Tho fruit tempts ono to
eat Indefinitely, tho complaint being
that it Is impossible to satisfy one's
appetite on jabotlcabas.
Two Kinds of Hunger.
The mother who Is sole parent may
feel compelled to go out to work, and
In so doing sho will change her Ideas.
Her employment outside will not be
all loss to her children. 'But she
should realize that her fatherless chil
dren want much more from her than
decent meals nud tidy frocks. If she
has to strive to replace her husband
she may have to do a man's work,
and she ought to get a man's pay for
It. But with the pay she must bring
home something to educate and amuse
her children. Sho must not wholly Ig
nore, as she so often does, the hunger
of the childish mind. It Is hard to ask
women, with their lesser strength of
body, to perform this double parental
task In the upbringing of their chil
dren. But it is necessary if the child
Is not to suffer. So many women are
guilty of this sort of neglect only be
cause they do not quite realize the
craving of tho mind for kuowledge.
No mother alive to her duties allows
herself to bo satisfied when she has
fed tho children's hunger with ma
terial things. She realizes that there
Is a greater hunger than this the
hunger of tho mind. Exchange.
Queer Sort of Butter. ,
A queer sort of butter Is obtained in
Trinidad, where cows and crenra are
scarce. ' This butter Is the boiled-down
fat of a bird culled the guacharo. The
Illustrated World says that this bird
lives In the darkest caves, and seldom
Is seen In the daylight. Tho young
birds are extremely plump nud from
them is obtained rich fat, tho natives'
very good substitute for butter. The
birds are taken from their nests when
two or three weeks old. After they
are killed, they are put on to boll, not
in water, but in their own fat. The
natives experience some difficulty In
getting at the nests of tho guacharo,
for they must creep through caves and
wade through stagnant pools to reach
their prey. The full-grown guacharo Is
so timid that no one ever hns been able
to photograph n living specimen.
Stopped Him. .
"Docs your husband grumble much
about the meals?"
"He used to, but not any more. I
stopped him."
"How?" .
"I told him that when he earned
money enough to have a regular beef
steuk on the table he'd gt It" J
