Those who are competent to judge tell us that the average householder doesn’'t know how to run a furnace or a steam heater, and because of this a million tons of coal will be wasted this winter—or seven million dollars’ worth. We are indicted of not half of us knowing how to properly shake thc grate, and evidence of this is the good coal in the ashes which has no ex- cuse for being there. Fresh coal and big clinkers in the ash pit show these axperts who violently break up the fire instead of shaking out the ashes gen- tly and taking out of the ash pit an almost impalpable powder, which is the evidence of the grate-shaker's effi- ciency. These experts call attention to the fact that the fire should be shaken down only once in 24 hours, usualy at night at the last firing, and that the check to the fire should he by the cold-air draught box, not by the open Waeek szding October 21 frent door, or the partially raised covers of a range. The effect of the open door or cover, they say, is to cool the iron of the boiler fire pot and to chill the top of the steve, hence a mew firing is made nec- essary and seme delay caused in re- newing the heat lost in th way. Closed stoves and furnaces with the cold-air or back draught open, is the economical way of running fires. A Norwich man who has followed | ithe plan feels sure it saved him two tons of coal the first winter; and he does it now as a duty, for it pays him well. If a little knowledge and a lit- tle care will save the average family man 20 per cent. of his fuel bill, he| ought not to be long in correcting his erroneous ideas of how to run a range, furnace, or steam heater. Notwithstanding the apparent dull- ness of business. this country has gone on breaking its trade records the present yvear. The September report of the government shows that the country’s imports last month were, in value, $125,158,108, compared with $117,264,513 in the same month a year ag0, and $121014630 in the same | month of 1909, which up to now had marked high tide in September im- ports. But the export movement ws even more striking. The exports of $168,873,643, in September, 1910, had made a high record, for the month, but in September of this vear exports remched the unprecedented figure of $195,771,502. The “balance of trade” was thus $70,613.394 for the period. Our experts for the nine months end- ng with September were also unpre edented, measured in money, for th reached the enormous sum of $1 474,283, an increase of §2 7 over the previous high record which was made in the nine months ending with September, 1907 Commenting upen this, field Republican says: “While some of this increase may be due to higher prices, the figures un- doubtedly reflect a solid expansion in the actual velume of foreign trade. Remembering that September is usu®i- ! month when 2n increase in ex- | begins, owing the outward | movement of cetton and wheat, and that our exports do not culminate or- | dinarily until the end of the year, we may new anticipate, perhaps, an ex- port movement in the immediate fu- tupe of extraordinary proportions.” the Spring- | ports 10 There are said to be a ericans in Canada and mier is descended from a Fall River man, and a member of his cabinet was born in New Hampshire. million Am- | the new pre- | The speeches being made by Colonel Bryan through Nebraska leave no doubt he is anxious to be sent as a delegate to the next national conven- tion of his party. 3 The Moly Ghost and tramp yacht Coronet has arrived in Portland with seventy persons on board, some of whom were taken to the hospital with scurvy.

In August, a mob in a litile town in Pennsylvania broke into a hos- pital, took therefrem .a patient and placing him upon a fire of fence rails roasted him to death. The grand jury promptly looked into the case. It found that about twenty persons led the mob of bestial mur- derers, an easy thing to find out, for 2,000 persons saw the whole business. There havé been. seven trials of those guilty aund every one has been pronounced to be innocent by the court, as the thirteen remaining cul- prits will be if tried. These verdicts simply mean ‘that the released are just as innocent as the other 2,000 residents of the community who did nothing to save a human being. It is a matter of record that a po- liceman cast his club aside and assist- ed at the burning. This shows the sense of social responsibility is just about nothing in that community. The jury is of the same sort of men as the lynchers, subject to the same pas- sions and hatreds. No doubt, also, the jurymen are thinking of what life for them would be in their neighborhood if they found any prisoner guilty. Taking this view of Coatesville, it is not inviting to settlers or business It is in a state of decadence, a shame to itself and a disgrace™to the coun- try. RAILWAYS AND POLITICS. The political leadership which inter- feres disastrously with business is more injurious to the people than al- most any other combination or influ- ence. At a recent session of the American Electric Railway convention at At- lantic City, the complaint was made profits returned for the big investments and hard work ave far below what the same amount of ex- pense and energy would bring in oth- er fields. The endorsed resolution follow: First: We believe that there exists a widespread need of increase:d fares. if adequate service is to be furnished and cabital secured to previde for the continued growth of the electric rail- way industry. And the plan for increasing fares advised the establishing of a zone sys- tem, with 5 cents fare for a large central zone and 3 cents extra fare, making 8 cents through fare to smaller outlying zone, either with (1) free transfers or (2) a charge for trans- jfers; the iocal fare in outiying zone being 5 cents. 3 Albion E. Lang, president of the Toledo Railways & Light Co., aroused the convention with a powerful and clear exposition of what electric rail- way men regard as the chaotic condi- tion surreunding public service “enter- prises not only in his city but in many others. Mr. Lang declares-that under a management prior to the present cne, the electric railway situation in Tolede had become “engulfed in politics,” that under the pressure of party strife the municipality has practically refused to renew certain {franchises which expired a vear ago unless conditions which he described as utterly ,impractical are complied with by fhe electric railway. “Three-cent fares with transfers de he said to the convention, “if any re- turn en invested capital is expected, a fare of ten or fifteen cents would not produce revenue sufficient to meet daily operating expenses, if the ordi- nances recently proposed by the mu- ipality of Toledo, and- advocated ome of the politicians there were adopted and enforced. campaign has opened up and bogy of standing pat for three-cent fares is used as a recommendation for the election or re-election of candi- dates. The city’'s growth has been retarded by the constant agitation of this subject for some years past, and by the continued abuse of rpora- tions’ and so-called capitalist A FLOATING BOUQUET. Those who have lived or picnicked near fish works will be glad to hear that the floa g oil factory is in oper- ation; and they will hope that all such oil and fertilizer producers may fol- low suit. A despatch ffom New York says: “An extraordimary ecraft, equipped with elaborate machinery for extract- ing fish oils, visited New York harbor last week. The floating fish factory moves up and down the Atlantic coast following the f{ith and turning them into oil as she goes. She carries a crew of ninety men. The plant will care for 10.000 barrels of fish in a day. There are tanks aboard to hold 750,000 gallons of fish oil. The floating fac- tory is equipped th wireless teleg- raphy to keep in touch with business on shore and enable heryto be on hand when the fish are ready. Her machin- ery consists of great steam cooking vats, electrical conveyors for scooping the fish out of the holds of the flshing steamer, and traveling belts for carry- ing them on board. Some 10,000 bar- rels of fish will be taken on board in New York waters. No part of the fish goes to waste. The fish are re- duced to a hash, then pumice and then oil.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

Q—“And God saw that the wicked- ness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repenteth the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart; and the Lord said, | will destroy man whom | have created, from the face of thel earth.” If God is omniscient, knowing the end from the beginning, how could ! He REPENT of His course in creating man? | Answer.—The word “repent” means | “to change the mind, or course of | conduct, on account of regret or dis- | satisfaction with what has occurred.” | The question then is, Did God change | His mind (plan) or His course of con- | duct? We claim that, knowing (hei end /from the beginning, God’s mind | could not be changed; hence “repent’ | in this text must signify change of | conduct. That is, God did change His course of dealing with man because of man’s wickedness, which grieved Him, but he did not change His mind or plans, because these plans had from the very first recognized the corrupt- ing and degrading tendency of sin, | and provided (in purpose of mind) the Lamb of God—“slain from the foun- dation of the world”—as the redemp- tion price.
