[Journal of Society of Arts.) The United States commercial agent nt Santes says that tho coal dust, which was formerly rejected as worthless, i, now consumed in immense quantities in France, in tho form of “patent fuel,” or coal bricks. The natural sbpplv of dust from the yards of tho coal merchants being entirely insufficient for the needs of the brick works, the manufacturers, particularly in tho Nantes district, im port a large quantity of coal dust from Cardiff, Swansea and Newport. The process of manufacture is very simple. Tho coal dost is mixed with pitch, and the mixture poured into enj JIFFERSON’S HOSPITALITY.

I quote u few er.. tries from the same: January 1. 1884—Have resolved to quit the use of tobacco and to keep n diary lowing what I did each succeeding day. I aim desire to keep a strict record hero of my various private expenses, so that I may know from month to month where my money 1ms gone. January 2—How gloomy everything looks today. Mrnlo isaveral Now Year’s calls yes- today, I nm told. In an unguarded moment perhaps, I did; but it was unintentional. I did not smoke, however, yesterday. I feel modi Imlter without tobacco in any form. Think I nm gaining flesh. I do not notice it io much Jn my body, but my head and foot are certainly much larger than they were yesterday. How much moro lmppy and light-hearted we are when out fro u under the thraldom of nn old vice that has clung to us for yearn like—liko a vice, as it. were.

Tho belt in its movement passe ; this material through a chninlw, where it is exposed to steam which the two substances into a bomog* ia *. t. mass. .This is poured by the descent of the belt into moulds, whore it is sub jected to an enormous pressure by a hydraulic press or by machinery set i»» motion by a steam engine. The brick is squaro in form, its thickness being about one-third of its other dimensions, and it weighs five, ten or fifteen pounds. Certain of the French railway com panies refuse to accept fuel unless at least ton per cent, of pitch has boon used for its agglomeration. It is stated that briquettes are pre ferable to ordinary coal for exportation lo the colonies and to warm climate, on account of their compact storage anil freedom from small fragments and dna 4 . also for use on locomotives, both on w count of economy and space, anil be cause firemen can always determine tho amount of fuel they are employing in a given time, tho weight of each brick l»o- ictly known. The manufac turers e aim that tho “patent fuej”is more healthy for domestic use than ordinary coal, citing in support of this theory tho declaration of certain well- known physicians. At tho present, day a number of bricks are made for domes lie use, of small size, and perforated with circular or longitud.nal openings. TJie Circle Squured at Latt, [London Newa] Last. August, C. E. Parker-Rhodes exhibited to-a few gentlemen, at Ander* hotel, Fleet street, nn invention by which ho claims to bo able to do what mathematicians have Mainly attempted for 2,000 years—namely, to square Hie circle. Ho believes also that his inven tion will prove useful in education and to professional and commercial men, ns it will euablo them immediately, and without calculation, to ascertain the ex act square of any area, however irregu lar in shape. The appliances used are extremely simple, being merely a quantity of small shot and a shallow, square trough, with which, and an adjustable “right angle,” squares of various sizes may be mado. When a square of a giwn circle required, tho latter is cut in some hard material. Tho circle thus foruied is plaeed on a level slab, and carefully filled with small shot, none of which are allowed to he above the others. Then tho allot are plaeed in the shallow trough and the “right angle” adjusted till they exactly fill the square formed by the “right’ angle” and the corner of tho trough. This is the square of the circle into which the shot was first measured. When the square of an irregular area j is required, the procees is somewhat si in- j liar. If, for instance, a surveyor were i dealing with a piece of land of many j angles and unequal sides, ho would j make a small drawing of its outline “to j scale,” ns the professional phrase goes. 1 He might then cut tho figure out in card- j board, the thicker tlio better, and fill the hole formed in the cardboard with shot, j Tho area covered by tho latter would i afterward he measured by means of the ! “right angle” and shallow trough. Mr. Pnrkor-Rltodes did not demonstrate the mathematical accuracy of his process; but ho maintained that such demonstration was practicable, and he offers the discovery freely to all who may choose lo adopt it. Certainly it terns likely to be practically useful if not theoretically perfect. fro iii Mur til Away. {Ume-iCiln Club.] “GeniTcn,” said Brother Gardner in a husky voice as the meeting opened, “«ic rheor occupied by Briuider Itambo Smith in dis hall fur do Ins five y’ars am vacant to-night.

Tho overseer of the day must have been so different from his j type a Uttle later on, for wo will pre sently hear some very generous senti- | ments from him. There were never less | than thirty guests in tho house; often limes the number was swelled to sev- cnty-flve, when the rich planters nud tlieir families, their servants and their equipages passed a night at “Monti cello as they journeyed to the “springs” among the mountains. “Many a time,” says the overseer, “has my wife sent every bed in Mir house up yonder, and then they wo-.Id have to go* to sleep on pallets on the floor, some of them.” li the stables there were thirty-six stall; and the overseer says again, “frequently our horses would be tied to tho shelter post* for tho night to give tho stalls to the other horses; and I have hauled from the meadow at nightfall a ton of hoy, and by morning there would not be enough for a hen’s nest.” This same reliable chronicler tells u“ that beside tho, visitors staying in the house the hall would bo filled at dinner time with a crowd of sightseers, wait ingtosce Mr. Jefferson and his guests pass through to the dining-room. Nomi would stop him and shake hands, “and lie would invite them everyone to din ner,” indignantly exclaims the overseer, from out tho past, “when he knew the table then was full to overflowing.” What a care must have been on tha I shoulders of the daughter housekeepe'’, I and yet the hefiors of the table were dispensed with womanly grace and courtesy, pleasing to all. Our old friend, tlie overseer, should not discuss tho quality of food consumed at “Man- tieelfo;” if he had known how badly it would in aftet years have sounded: * “1 would kill a beef," says he, and in two days it would all be gone.’’ Mr. Jeffer son supplied his table from his on n es tate, and even when he occupied tho White Houso everything was sent from “Montieello.” Dinner was usually served at 8 o’clock and generally lasted until half-past 4. The wines were exquisito in flavor, and were selected by Mr. Jefferson with great care and rare taste. On ono end of the mantel in the dining-room, there was an ingeniously contrived dumb waiter connected with the wine cellar below. Tho wine bottles would come up on this covered with dust and cob webs, and would be taken off By Mr. Jefferson himself. He was an exceed ingly temperate man in all things,' and was in the habit of drinking but three glasses of wine nt dinner, lie delighted in holding the glass up to the light and looking at the warm, rich color of tho wine, and the habit was frequent with hiui of inhaling tho aroma of tho wine (lurin' dinner. liiMiirlnx llie liable*. [Cleveland Leader.] “You seo if I don’t prove that Mie is dead I won’t get the insurance. It is necessary for mo to get the eertifteme of the doctor who attended her.” Thus spoke a plainly dressed old lady who • ailed at the health office yesterday. She was the proprietor of a baby Jmnrd- ing house, and was in search of the cer tificate of tho death of an infant (hat had been under her chare. “The child’s mother brought it to me,” she said, “and f kept it a long time. The woman failed to pay the hoard until she had got into in) debt about #10. Oho day l went to the storo after a loaf of bread, and while 1 was gone tho mother came nud took the child away. It has since died, and-she is trying to keep me [ from knowing where its death occurred j in order to keep me out of the insurance, j If 1 could get that it would nearly pay | me for the child's board.” Af. she finished sjteaking tho woman I look on her lap a neatly dressed little ! i hild which accompanied her, saying: j • This is ono of my boarders.” “IIow much do you charge a week to rare for the babies?” was asked of her. I “Two dollars,” was tho reply, “and I | io all their washing.” “You spoke alwut insurance. Why do j you insure them?” “So that when they die on my hands ! 1 % an give them a decent burial. Now , j ihe little mu* that was taken away was i id out lyi-.'.r and n months old, and the j iniurunco *»n it ;• mounted lo over £18. | it costs only Scents a week to insure a J l aby, and the amount to bo realized on I its ’death varies with the age of the ] child.” Further investigation showed that I there is an agency in Gh-velandat which I baby insurance is one of the branches of j business. Circulars are issued by the j agent showing the immense profits made | on a small investment. Lists are pub- : li-hed of the children insured in Cinciu- | uati, Cleveland, Dayton and other | cities.
