You have doubtless many times wondered, along with thousands of others, why the heavy columns of smoke and soot you have noticed pouring forth from your neighber'sr chimneys and your own could not be harnessed and turned into heat. You have probably recognized the fact that these columns of smoke and soot had a monetary value, representing in the course of a season many hard-earned dollars. It may have occurred to you thai this waste literally "burned-up money" accomplished no better purpose than warming the heavens, befogong the skies, soiling your neighbors' housas as well as your own, might be prevented by some new invention.

Second To get ALL the heat POSSIBLE out of the fuel consumed; or, in other words, to minimize the Amount of fuel necessary to obtain the required amount of heat. Third CHEAP FUEL; at the LEAST POSSIBLE EXPENSE. Fourth To acquire the BEST RESULTS with the LEAST amount of ATTENTION necessary. Fifth The ABATEMENT of SMOKE and DIRT. HEAT means COAL; COAL means DOLLARS; therefore, your heat is equivalent to so many dollars. There is a way of burning coal without utilizing all the heat units it contains, and, therefore, without getting the benefit of all the dollars in it, and those were the dollars which you noticed coming out of your neighbor's chimneys and your own. Of the five results mentioned above, which are sought for by all furnace manufacturers, the first only is accomplished by the ordinary top-feed furnace.. The other four results are either not possible, or possible only in part with the topfeed furnaces. Our UNDERFEED furnace accomplishes all five of these results effectively and satisfactorily.

antels and Grates

Every home is not complete without from one to three mantels and grates, as they are the finest looking piece of furniture in the room when you make your selection according to the size of the room. What is nicer after you have taken a walk on a cold morning or evening and come home and have a nice fire staring you in the face with a bright blaze from a natural gas or coal fire in the grate. The cost of operating a coal cr natural gas fire in the Spring and Fall before starting your stoves and furnaces is nothing to compare with the comfort you derive from same. For instance: Every reader of this article remembers the very warm weather we had In March, when hundreds of people took down their base burners and heaters and when the present cold weather came nearly every house in Richmond was -without a fire. What did this mean? v . It meant that those people had to go to the expense of setting up their stoves or starting fire in their furnaces where if they had had a fire-plce they could have had a, coal or gas fire in it and taken the dampness out of the house without incurring extra expense and work. We have the largest and finest display of mantels and tiles in our window that has ever been seen In Richmond, barring (Chicago or New York.) ' This large selection of tiles is from the latest designers of tiles in the United States. You don't have to go to Cincinnati or Indianapolis to make your selections. We have in our employ a mantel and tile setter who will give you the best of attention in all lines of repairing fireplaces and making them up to date.

THOSE HAVING THEM HERE.

SIX WEAR THE RED STAR WHICH DENOTES FIFTEEN YEARS IN THE GOVERNMENT POSTAL SERVICE.

There ere just eight city letter carriers cn the local force who are asked one little question many times each day. It Is not because these carriers make mistakes. It is not because the patrons iuve any kick to make, and it does tot directly bear upon the postoff.ee department so far as business is concerned, but it Is a question that has puzzled the minds of probably every man woman and child in the city, until they have mustered up courage enough to ask the carrier. Nearly every person in the city has time and time again noticed the tiny stars on the postmens coat sleeves. They probably thought, "Well our postman is getting a little sporting blood in his veins. He is wearing decorations on his coat," or perhaps the thought might have been, '"I wonder where he gets those pretty little stars," but Ihe one great question which puzzles the people of Richmond, and the one which meets the postmen on every side Is "What ar those stars and where did you get them, and what do they mean." As a general rule the question is not wholly answered by the postmen as

' they do not have time to do so. as lengthly conversations white traversing their routes is one of the things for which they can get discharged from the service. Started by P. S. Heath. The custom was started by Assistant Postmaster Perry S. Heath, during the first administration of JIcKinley, in order that the postmen serving in the service for several years, might have some token of mer

it and honor. The custom was long thought out, before Mr. Heath adopted it in the postoffice department. There had long been an idea in his mind that those government servants who had given the postoffice department long and efficient service should be rewarded, and should wear a token of the high regard with which they were thought by Uncle Sam. When the idea was first Inaugurated by Mr. Heath more than ten years ago, small black stripes about five Inches long and one half inch wide were adopted. Those men serving in the postal department as carrier five years were to receive one black stripe across their sleeves. The number of stripes were to be increased with each five years' service. This plan lasted about one year as it was infeasible, in that many postmen then in the service would have been required to wear stripes of such number, that they would refch almost tip to their elbows. Mr. Henth. then set about to

inaugurate some other and more'

successful scheme, one with which there could be no objection, and the present system is the result. The Scheme First Used. Mr. Heath adopted the following scheme. A postman serving tlj.e government faithfully for five years was to receive one black star, which was to be worn on the sleeve. Two black stars were to be given for ten years' service, one red star for fifteen years' service, two red stars for twenty years service, a silver star for twenty-five years' service and a gold star for thirty years' successful duty in the service of Uncle Sam. The custom has been in vogue for

the past ten years and has been highly successful. Those Wearing Red Stars. The red star denoting fifteen years of honorable service is worn by six of Richmond's postmen, they being E. A. Dickinson, W. B. Arnold, J. E. Donlin, Wm. H. Hansche, Emil Steen and Joseph Marchant. These men are considered among the most faithful men ever in the service of the government in this city and there is scarcely a day but what they are on duty making their long and sometimes very heavy deliveries. Other men who are just as efficient but who have not been in the government service so long, and therefore wearing the two black stars, denoting ten years service, are L. A. Handley and John B. Maag. Those men who have not been connected with the Richmond postoffice long enough to secure stars of any variety are E. M. Owens, Herbert Garrett, Wm. Xiewoehner. Edward Mote, Stephen Williams and Julius O. Hill. Many Questions of Late. There l:as been one noticeable feature abouf those wearing the red star in the past few months and that has been that they have been asked more times about the little piece of . embroidery, since the salary inc-ease laws went into effect, than at any time before. It is significant in that the public is watching the carriers, since they have loomed up before the public eye, and not even the minutest detail of their costume is lost. Probably owing to the fact that Mr. Heath was not in the postoffice Fervice. when the rural route system was placed on a high basis or some other leason. the rural route carriers do not have the marks of service as do the city carriers. The question is. being agitated and many think that tha faithful guard of rural distributers should have the same honors bestowed upon them, when performing long and faithful service as do the city carriers. The outcome of the agitation is being watched closely by local postoffice men.

ana. Bred by Elijah Stone, Switzerland county, Ind., foaled in 1854, passed to James Wilson, Rushville, whose

romance in turf literature; it is also a reality of the most interesting character to every intelligent student of the science of breeding. His pedigree was obscure, his physical abilities .were in doubt, and he was, for a time i used as a " teaser," the humblest office Of a breeding farm.
