\ Y Oil for Fuel.
Savannah Nowa.
One of the effects of the. c&al
strike is tso turn the attention of
manufacturers, railroad and
steamship men to oil as a fuel.
Just now a great deal of soft coal
is being used in New York city.
The smoke from this coal is so
objectionable that there is a gen
eral protest against it, Manufac
turers are therefore experiment
ing with oil, and they are finding
* it so satisfactory that it is thought
that in a comparatively short
time most of the factories in that
city using Steam power will be
using oil as fuel. It is said by
manufacturers now using oil that
they will never go back to coal,
even if coal should be cheaper af
ter the strike thap it was before.
One manufacturer who was in
terviewed in regard to oil said
that he had equipped some of his
boilers for burning oil, and that
lie was equipping the others as
fast, as he could. He claimed
that with oil he could maintain a
steady and uniform heat under a
boiler, something he could not
de withooal. Besides, it requires
less labor to feed the fire with Oil
and the fire can be turned on and
off at a moment’s notice.
That
is the
cannot be dona when coal
fuel.
And it is found that oil costs
less than coal. The manufactur
er interviewed said that he Was
paying the Standard Oil Compa
ny $1.05 per barrel now for crude
petroleum, and at that price oil
was the cheaper, but he expeotpd,
lie said, to get oil from Texas in
a short time at 50 or 60 cents a
barrel. At that price oil, it will
be readily seen, is much cheaper
than coai.
A ship owner was also inter
viewed in regard to oil as a fuel,
and he said that of 'the eight
steamers under his control one
‘ had been Changed to an oil burn
er and the others were being
changed.
It will be seen from the forego
ing that the strike is bringing
oil into use as fuel, Of course,
if there had been no strike oil
v would have gradually made its
way into general use, but the
strike has given it an impetus
that threatens to greatly lessen
the demand for coal in the imme
diate future.

Reason in the Hawkers’ Yell.
“Hi-ee! lii-oel” jittered in a
rather harsh voice is the strange
cry with which an aged oolored
man in Chestnut street oalls at-
f tention to his roses and carna
tions, says the Philadelphia.Rec-
■ ord. Some one asked him the
other day why he yelled, “Hie-
ee! hie’eel” instead of “Here y’'
are, fresh flowers!” or something
equally sensible and apropos.
“ Weir,” the old man replied, “I
used to yell good plain common
sense when I was young in the
business, but I found out by ex
perience that the crazier and fool-
isher my. yell was the more trade
came to me. ‘Pine ropes, 50 cents
a dozeul’ is, you see, a yell that
don’t muoh attract the people’s
attention. They pass right on
by without thinking of it at all.
But ‘Hoop-la!’ or ‘Hie-yee’! is
odd and silly, and when they
bear suoh an idiotic sound, the
people look at you' and notice
that you are selling flowers, and
maybe they buy a bunch. I know
; one hian w,ho calls ‘Murder 1’ or
‘Green shirts!’ or any silly thing
he happens to think of, and you
wouldn’t believe how-the people
laugh at him, 1 aud liow many
flowers he sells.”

“I suffered from dyspepsia and
■ indigestion for fifteen years,’’says
W. T. Sturdevant of Merry Oaks,
N. C. “After I had tried many
doctors and medicines to no avail
one of my friends persuaded: me,
to try Kodol. It gave immediate
relief. I can eat almost anything
I want now and my digestion is.
‘ good. I cheerfully recommend
Kodol.” Don’t try- to cure 'stom
ach trouble by dieting. That on
ly further weakens the' system.
“You need wholesome, strengthen
ing food. Kodol enables you to
assimilate what, you eat by digest
ing it without the - stomach’s aid,

The Pretoria correspondent of
the London Times before the Boer
sarrender, complacently summed
up the results of the war in say
ing that England has “practical
ly captured, killed or wounded a
whole nation.” The correspon
dent was apprehensive of the fu
ture, however, and advocated im
portant concessions to the defeat
ed race such as a pledge of local
self-government on and after a
fixed date. Otherwise, “bitter
ness will gradually grow up—that
awful bitterness of a Boer who
will, nurse his resentment for
years—ancl we shall have a big
population hating us with a deep
and deadly hatred, all the more
dangerous because it is ponceal-
ed.” The British ministry, and
especially King Edward, have
shown an appreciotion of this
fact by their liberal terms to the
Boers," which, if thVBritish news
reports from South Africa .are
honest, show, that the Boers are
as well satisfied as a conquered
people can be with the terms im
posed. The test will come when
the new' machinery of civil aud
miliary government gets in oper
ation, and the 25,000 Boer pris
oners in distant camps return to
their homes, and the men and
women of the concentration
camps join them. There, is no
doubt of the fact that the Boers,
have won the respect of the Brit
ish army and people, and this
will go a long way in the direc
tion of a peaceable solution;
A Business Parable. /
One farmer had 1,800 bushels
of corn, which he sold not only to
a single merohant but to 1,800
different merchants, a bushel
each. A few of them paid him
the cash, but far the greater num
ber said it was not convenient
then, but would pay later. A few
months past and the man’s bank
account ran low. “How is this?”
he said.
“My 1,800 bushels of grain would
have kept me in affluenoe until
another crop was raised.” “S-» lie
posted up a notice and asked those
that owed him to pay quickly,but
few came. The rest said, “Mine
is only a small matter, and I will
pay him one of these,days.”
Things went on thus. The man
got to feeling so badly that he
fell out of bed and awoke,' aud
running to his granary found 1,-
800 bushels safe there. He had
only been dreaming and had not
sold his corn at all.
Moral'—Next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper and
said: “Here, sir, is.the pay for
your paper, aud when your next
year’s,subscription is due you can
depend oil me to pay it promptly.
I stood in position of an editor
last night, and I know how it feels
to have one’s honesty earned mon

George Schaub, a well-known
German citizen of New Lebanon,
Ohio, is a constant reader of the
Dayton Yolkszeitung. He knoivs
that this paper aims to advertise
only the best in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm advertised therein for lame
back, lie did not hesitate in buy
ing a bottle of it:for his wife,who
for eight weeks had suffered with
the most terrible pains'in her back
and could get no relief. He says:
“After using the Pain Balm for a
few days my wife said to me, ‘I
feel as though born anew,’ and
before.using the* entire contents
of the bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she
-could agai'n take up her house

Senator Bacon as a Cook.
United States Senator Augus
tus O. Bacon, ,or Georgia, who
has been taking a! very prominent
part in the senate debates, is one.
of the most dignified members of
that assembly. He never seeks
in his speeches to provoke the
mirth of his colleagues. His grav
ity is not studied, but natural,
says the Philadelphia Post.
"‘Even in his social moments
he rarely indulges in humor,”
said Congressman John W. Mad
dox, of the same state, who was
speaking admirably of the sena
tor’s ability in statesmanship.
“Senator Bacon is fond of hunt
ing aud fishing,” continued Mr.
Maddox, “and last year I bad the
pleasure of accompaning him on
an outing. The senator would
listen to funny stories, but only
once did he venture to tell one
himself. That one, however, was
so good that we haveu’t got over
laughing at it yet.
“One day I. caught a big yellow
legged terrapin. The senator was
delighted, and stayed in camp
the next day to superintend the
soup-making. The soup was de
licious, aud we said so unreserv
edly. Even the senator told his
story. In preparing the terrapin
he had assisting him a colored
man of the neighborhood, whom
we had employed. The man
didn’t know us, and never dream
ed that the man in rough raiment
presiding over the steaming kettle
was a United States senator.
“The colored man was given a
bowl of soup, and smacked his
lips and otherwise displayed his
sense of bliss.
“You like the soup, do you
George?” asked the senator.
“’Deed I do,” was the v reply.
Then ha added: ‘Say, boss, I’d
like to ax you a little question.
“ ‘What is it?’ responded the
senator. ‘Go ahead.’
“ ‘I’d like to know,’ said the
darkev, between eager sips of the
terrapin soup, ‘is you jes a plain
o io| or is you a steward? ‘Foh
ymi do cert’nly know yore busij
ne.sa.’ ”
In some of the Swiss valleys
the inhabitants are all afflicted
with goitre or “thick neck. ” In
stead of regarding this as a de
formity they seem to think it a
natural feature of physical devel
opment, and tourists passing
through the valleys are some
times jeered by the goitrous in
habitants, because they are with
out this offensive swelling. Thus
a form of disease may become so
common that it is regarded as a
natural and necessary condition
of life. It is so, to a large extent,
with what are called diseases of
women. Every woman suffers
more or. less from irregularity,
ulceration, debilitating drains,
or female weakness, and this suf
fering is so common and so uni
versal shat many women accept it
as a condition natural and neces
sary to their sex. But it is a con
dition as unnatural as it is unnec
essary. The use of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription strengthens
the delicate womanly organs and'
regulates the womanly functions,
so that woman is practically de
livered from the pain and misery
which eat up ten years of her life
—between the ages of fifteen and
forty-five. “Favorite Prescrip
tion” makes weak women strong
and sick women well.
The Philadelphia Ledger re
marks upon it as beiug some
what curious that the Boers and
Britons, after the declaration of
peace, fraternized and sang the
same songs that were sung by the
Union and Confederate soldiers
under similar circumstances thir
ty seven years ago-: “Home Sweet
Home,” “Auld Lang Syne” and
“Hard Times JCome Again No
More.” But sentiment now is
pretty much the some: as it was
then. There'is in the human
breast the same love of peace and
home that there was formerly.
