| ing pretty high generally, the opening
at the top, through which the coal was poured, was so high that it became quite a task tolifta scuttle of coal up to it. This was not so much noticed at the very outset, when people were more impressed by other features, but it speedily became a con- sideration of importance. It was said at the time that in feeding some of the stoves a stepladder was needed. It cer- tainly did require a considerable degree of exertion.
The ornamentation of the stove at that time consisted of moldings and
| dands, and perhaps of wreaths in low
relief, cast upon the upper part of the
cylinder, looped around the top, and the |
stove was oiten surmounted with an ornamental urn. All this made a hand- some stove, as stoves went, but it was felt that something better might be pro- duced in the way of style and finish and that it was practically essential that something should be done to lower the feed. These two requisites to the high- est development and greater success of the self feeding parlor stove were form- ulated in the phase ‘‘high art and low feed’’ once familiar in the trade. The demands were promptly met.
To bring the feed lower, the whole stove was lowered wherever it could be fone, a trifle being taken here and there, the grate was lowered a little, and the magazine was reduced in size where that could be done and still iéave it of ample size to meet essential requriments. The effect of these changes was to bring the feed down to where it is today, within convenient reacb, and the general lowering of the stricture of the stove was in keeping also with the new outward shape that was adopted, Square instead of round, the fire pot, however, remaining round.
At first in the ornamentation of stoves of the new design tiles were used freely and some of the parts of the stoves or their trimmings were nicke! plated. Tiles are still used to agonsid- erable extent. Nickel plating 1s rge freely used than at first, and bronze is now used also. While the stoves are in outline and effect square it does not fol- low that they are flat sided. Some are recessed, some have swell sides. They are made in various modifications of shape and in a great variety of styles of finish as to ornamentation in tiles and nickel plaitiues, and in a great variety of ornamental patterns reproduced in the castings themselves. Many of these stoves are tasteful as well as elaborate. *‘High art and low feed’’ are combined ju them,—New York Sun, a

“A DWARF IN BATTLE.
Casan Won Praise and Honor From the Great Genghis Khan.
From time to time Mrs. Mary Shears Roberts has coutributed to St. Nicho- las papers on *‘ Historic Dwarfs.’’ In one number she tells of Casan, a Tar- tar dwarf who took service under the great Mongolian khan. Mrs. Roberts thus describes his first appearance in battle:
Now, it so happened that Genghis, in order to subdue the deserters from his father’s tribes, had dethroned several princes or khans. These petty chiefs had been in the habit of paying tribute to the great sovereign of the Kin empire in North China. This high and mighty potentate now demanded money from Genghis Khan, thereby rousing the ire of our Mongolian warrior, who an- nounced that, rather than pay one cont for tribute he would fight the whole Chinese kingdom. Preparations for war were at once begun, and Casan was de- lighted when he received orders to join the army. At last his dream was real- ized. He was going to fight real battles, and he was in command of a_ body of
troops. He bade adieu to his family and with a proud heart set out to meet his BOVErel gn.
As a first step, Genghis Khan invaded western Hea, captured several strong- holds and retired in the summer to a place called Lung ‘Ting, in order to es- cape the great heat of the plains or steppes. While there news reached him

that several other khans were preparing |
for war. He thereupon the heights, marched against his foes and in a pitched battle on the river Irtish he overthrew them completely.
Casan attracted a great deal of notice on this occasion. He was here, there and everywhere. On his mettlesome
charger he bounded into the thickest of the fight, hurling his lance with unerr- ing aim end displaying great courage. After ihe tray ne was summoned te appear before the conqueror, who com- piimented the dwarf, saying: ‘Thy valor and tiy courage have completely justified thy promises. From this day forth thou shalt be a khan. Thou shalt have cominand of a large body of troops and shalt hereafter be my companion in

COLLEGE FASHIONS.
a
When Judge Robert Grant Was a Fresh- man at Harvard.
With the beginning of the second term the freshmen were privileged tc wear tall hats and carry canes. They always celebrated their emancipation on the first Saturday of the new term by going in force to the theater in all the splendor of their new possessions, and they were apt to show themselves on Beacon street, Boston, on the follow- ing Sunday. In regard to dress on week- | days I recall that among all the stu- - dents a little round gray soft hat was very popular. The times were rather hard from 1870 to 1880, and many men went in for old clothes. Short pea jack- ets were in common use. Some of the arbiters of college fashion chose to wear | silk hats with them when they wished to appear swell, thereby producing ga somewhat mongrel effect. English | clothes, or indeed a suit of new clothes, was so much an event that I recollect | on the occasion when a member of the | class of 1874 imported a suit of lively | checks, his friends hung it outside the window of one of the buildings on ex- hibition.
‘The yard at that time, as very likely | now, was often a lively center for ami- | able indolence. Besides tossing cents | at a mark in front of Holworthy and |
' |
dropping hot coppers out of the win- dows for the Cambridge urchins to pick up, J recall the slogan of ‘‘ Heads out!’’ | which brought every one to his window aud from his books many times a week. No woman could cross the yard without hearing it, and events of much less im- port evoked it. Frequently we had the pleasure of listening to the Glee club, which was then a flourishing body whose repertoire included ‘‘Seeing Nel- lic Home’”’ and “‘ Dearest maiden, dance ever with me; can’st thou refuse me? can’st thou but choose me?’’ yet pander- ed to less noble emotions in ‘‘Shoo Fly”’ aud the then popular Ha-ha-ha, you and me, Little brown jug, how I love thee!
