SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.
Bom* S««n by Prof. Von Joggloby
from Hi* Study Window
Backyard Baenaa.
“I know when spring is at
nand,” said Prof, von Joggleby,
according to the New York Sun,
*by the things I see in the range
of backyards in view from my
•tudy window.
wIn the sheltered corner of some
of these yards, where it is pro-,
tectefe from the cold winds And
when it gets not only the direct,
bnt from the sheltering fences,
the reflected rays of the advanc
ing season’s warmer snn, the
grass begins to grow green while
yet there may be in other parts of
the yard patches of snow and. ice.
The eager grass responds to the
first call of spring.
“And so do the dwellers in the
houses to which these yards are at
tached. On that same day in some
of these yards there were people
out raking up the winter’s debris;
the scraps and pieces of paper,
and the twigs and the sticks, left
on the ground after the melting
away of its winter covering. They
had sensed the approach of spring
and they were cleaning up; and on
the first occasion, anyway, they
were moved no doubt not so much
bv a desire for neatness and trim
ness In their several yards as by
an inward prompting to get back
to them once more; to mother
earth.
“It doesn’t matter to me what
the ground hog may say, or how
many other indications may
point, I always know when spring
Is at hand by these two signs, by
the coming green of the tufts of
grass in the sheltered corners of
my back yard, qnd by the appear
ance of my neighbors at work
cleaning up.”
NOT THE ORIGINAL BOAT.
•toll Seen by Visitors at Columbia
Not the One in Which Her
Crew Won at Henley.
Columbia students and gradu
ates will be disappointed to learn
that the old shell hung in the uni
versity trophy room on Morning
side Heights is not the original
boat in which the Columbia crew
won the Visitors’ Challenge cup
at Henley in 1878. The shell, says
the New York Sun, occupies the
most prominent position in the
room and has been pointed out to
every visitor as the only American
boat manned by a college crew to
Win at Henley.
The first doubt as to the authen
ticity of the boat was expressed
several months ago by Francis
Sedgwick Bangs, a trustee of the
university, who has always been
prominent in Columbia’s rowing
interests. Subsequent investiga
tions have shown that on the day
before the Henley crew sailed for
America Capt. Goodwin sold the
two shells which Columbia had
taken to England to Cambridge
university, where they were used
till a very few years ago, when
they were broken up.
There is some consolation for
the Columbia men in the fact that
the oars used by her crew in this
race, which are also on view in the
trophy room, are the real ones
brought back by the crew and sub
sequently presented to the uni
versity.
The Summer Season.
When one reflects upon the
delightful weather which pre
vailed so generally in October,
says Four-Ttack News, and the
even more perfect weather in No
vember, it naturally calls forth the
query, “why do we call ‘the sum
mer season’ from July 1 to Sep
tember 1?” It is absurd! June
and September!—feven October
and often November gives us more
delightful weather than July and
August. I, for one, vote unani
mously for a longer summer sea
son, for a fuller period in which
to enjoy the beauties of nature,
for nature is so varied in her
moods, and so lavish with her
charms that she deserves more of
our attention, and the more atten
tion we bestow the more we learn
to admire her every phase and
fancy, and the more we admire
the better off we are, for every in
fluence which nature eC »rts is for
the good.

THE COAL WE USE.
4a Article of Which the GeaeroMf*
of American Honienivea
Know Bat Little.
Coal is so common a necessity that wa
do not take the trouble to know any
thing about it. The other day, says a
New York Press writer, I asked a house
holder who ourns 25 tons a season:
“Which do you prefer, red ash or white
ash?” After a little hesitation he re
plied: “I really don’t know what you
mean. I didn’t know that coal is made
from ash, and I don’t thinkT ever heard
of a red ash.” “Oh, that had nothing to
do with it. Of course coal is a vegetable
product but the red aah or white ash re
ferred to is not a tree, but the refuse of
burnt coal—the ashes. Some of these
ashes are red; some are white.” He was
much surprised, and promised to find out
from his dealer whether he had always
used red or white.
A second householder, being asked the
i same question, replied: "I always use
the white ash coal, for the reason that j
it is so much cleaner, both before and
after using. It makes a hotter fire, and
never burns out the grate-bars. It lasts
longer than the red ash and is cheaper
in the long run. You couldn’t hire me
to use retd ash coal. I don’t like thu
stuff.” '
A merchant who ought to know what
he is talking about said: “Buy red ash
coal ever time. It makes things very
comfortable about the bouse. You can
start a fire with it in half the time you
can with white ash; the fire is twice as
hot; there is less dust; there are fever
ashes. Stoves using red ash seldom burn
out, and they give out more heat than
when using white ash. Of course, the
red ash costs more than the white, but
is cheaper in the end.”
A coal agent booking orders was told
by a new resident: “I shall want six
tons of coal for the winter. I Insist on
having white ash coal. Can you supply
It at once before the price goes up?”
“To-morrow early enongh?" “Yes."
“All right; it will be there." It came
and was dumped into the cellar. At the
first cleaning out of the ash pit under
the furnace our friend found only red
ashes. He was wroth. The coal man
happened to drop in. “Coal all right?"
“All right? You know it isn’t all right,
sir! You have cheated me. I insisted on
having white ash coal, and you have
sent red ash. What are you going to do
about it?” “I’m awfully sorry. I eer
] tainly put in the order for white ash.
: But you’ve got the best of the bargain,
air. We’ve billed this coal to you at the
price of white ash; and you know it is
worth a dollar a ton more. Still. I al
ways believe in giving a gentleman what
he orders, and we’ll take this coal back
If you say so."
"If I wanted to be mean I'd make you
take back every bushel of It, and then
I’d buy my white ash alsewhere. Didn’t
you know it was red ash?” “Lord bjess
you, no. No man living can tell the dif
ference between the two kinds until he
sees the ashes. I've been in the business
80 years, and I can't tell. But I do know
one thing—red ash coal is as far ahead
I of white ash coal as sunshine is ahead
of moonshine.” "Well, I’ll overlook It
this time; but hereafter I get what I or
der, or there’ll be trouble. I’ve a legal
right to make you take this coal back."
•You have only to give the order, and
I’ll obey.” “I’ll- see how it turns out."
That night the merchant called, and the
transaction was mentioned. “Lucky dog,"
he said. “Red ash every time! And you
get it as cheap as dirt." So the matter
was dropped.
The anthracite trade began with an
output of 1,965 tons in 12 months. It has
grown to 70,000,000 tons annually. In
1803 the city of Philadelphia bought
100 tons of anthracite for use in the
pumping works, but the engineers, not
knowing how to burn it, broke it up to
gravel the walk In the yards. In 1814
two ark loads were sold at the falls of the
Bchuylklll for $21 a ton. A morning
I was wasted in futile attempts to burn
this coal, and at noon the employer and
his workmen, discouraged at their ill
luck, shut up the furnace and went to
dinner. On their return they were aston
ished to find a roaring fire, the furnace
ddors red hot and the furnace Itself in
danger of melting. From that day dates
the successful use of anthracite in Amer
ica.
• Personally, I have yet to learn the dif
ference between red ash and white ash
coal as regards merit. But I never had
the happy experience of the furnacemen
above. Here is my luck: First, a few
newspapers crumpled up and lighted;
secondly, a Dusnei or Kinaung wood;
thirdly, a shovelful of coal; fourthly, a
wait for half an hour for the coal to
•tart; fifthly, more coal; sixthly, my
morning ablutions In blissful conscious
ness of duty well done; seventhly, a re
turn to the cellar to find—a roaring
chilliness, the furnace doors frigid to
the hinges and the furnace Itself in dan
ger of collapsing In liquefied air. I then
drop a small woM or two In the cold
quiet of my subterraneanism and calmly
proceed to shake out that “roaring fire"
(expected) into the bottomless ash pit.
The dust gets into my five senses and
my hair, all over my shoes, up my
breeches, down my collar. I am hot
| enough by that time to look at a fire
and make it burn.

WAS WASHINGTON’S STAFF.
Interesting' History of Cane Once
Owned by Father of His
Country.
One of the things that passed
through the Baltimore fire un
scathed was a cane once owned by
Qeorge Washington and now the
property of Maj. H. H. Raleigh.
The cane reposed during the fire
in the vault of the Merchants’
Credit and Collection Bureau at
Liberty and German atreetsJ says
the New York Sun.
“In Gen. Washington’s will,”
said Maj. Raleigh, “two canes are
mentioned. One was bequeathed
to Robert Washington, of Chop
tank, Va., who gave it to Robert
Thompson, a relative. ’
“Later it passed to Miss Kittie
Thompson, a sister of Robert
Thompson, and finally Peter Gra
sob Washington of New Yorkf
who was assistant secretary of the
treasury under Guthrie, was the
owner of the stick.
“Peter Grason Washington be
queathed the cane to the oldest
male heir of Gen. George Wash
ington who was living at the time
of his death. The late Mrs. Ra
leigh was a granddaughter of a
Mrs. McPherson, of Washington,
D. C., who before her marriage
was a Miss vv asnington. Alter
some contention it was proved
that Mrs. Raleigh’s brother,
whose family name was Edwards,
was the person entitled to the pos
session of the cane. I purchased
the relic for my wife, and when
she died ft became my property.**
Although described as a cane,
the relic is really a staff. It is of
bamboo, about four and a half
feet long and just such a stick as
Washington might have used in
tramping over his broad acres in
Mount Vernon. The Washington
coat-of-arms adorns ijts gold head,
and it is encircled with a gold band,
upon which is inscribed:
“Willed to Robert Washington
and by him to descend to Peter
Grason Washington, of New
fork.’*
As soon as the embers had
cooled, Maj. Raleigh hastened to
the vault and was much relieved
to find after the cane had been re
moved from the chamois skin case
that it had not been scorched.
SHARK AS A MESSENGER,
Carried Newspaper to Sydney Outdis
tancing Steamer Conveying Im
portant Item of News.
The story of the discovery ol
human bones and bangles in the
interior of the crocodile captured
at Fort Johnson, Rhodesia,
brings to mind another story
which may appositely be recalled
at the present juncture. Every
body has heard of “Mrs. Macquar
rie’s chair,” as they call the east
ern point of Farm Cove, in Sydney
harbor. There, says the St,
James* Gazette, it was that a poor
emigrant, in pre-cable days, killed
and towed ashore a shark, cut him
up, and found a London newspa
per in the internals. In the paper
was the announcement of the war
between France and Germany,
The shark had outdistanced the
steamer by which the mail was
coming, and here the discoverer
had the fact to himself. He gave
his information to a wealthy wool
dealer, who bought all the sea
son’s clip at 9d. per pound, and
sold at 3s. after the news of the
war had arrived by the ordinary
channel. He cleared, it is said,
four millions sterling by the deal.
The man who killed the shark and
extracted the news of price—well,
he received a battered silk hat
and a five shilling piece and unre
strained liberty as to the disposal
of the shark.
Forgot the Chimney.
A short time ago a public cere
mony was to be carried out at
Landshut, an important town in
Lower Bavaria. A new public
school was to be formally opened,
and all Landshut quivered with
pleasurable anticipation. Unfor
tunately the festivities had to be
ptit off at the last moment. The
school could not be opened. No
scholar could take his seat upon
the brand-new forms. The land
was In the grip of winter, and the
architect had forgotten to provide
a single chimney throughout the
building. __
