— there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 steam lines is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish— if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain your lines per- 

 fectly — return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

«old weather in the morning and then 

 repeat again towards evening. In 

 bright weather catch the benefit of the 

 afternoon sun, but in milder weather it 

 would not usually have to be done more 

 than once a day. By taking advantage 

 of the afternoon sun the houses will not 

 cool off so much while the fire is down a 

 little. 



With soft coal, as I understand it, a 

 blaze is obtained in firing. It being full 

 of oils, it burns up something like wood. 

 With hard coal this must never be ex- 

 pected, for the best results will be ob- 

 tained when you get an effect as of an 

 incandescent light appearance, which 

 gires off an intense heat, and by the 

 light firing the carbon is' constantly 

 ignited and burns until the white spots 

 appear and the recoating is necessary. 

 These results can never be obtained by 

 heavy firing with hard coal; by heavy 

 firing I mean a large quantity of coal 

 on the grate at one time. 



After a fireman has studied these con- 

 ditions he will readily fall into the 

 knack of firing in this way, which he 

 will find easy. G. R. Clark. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Little change is to be noted in the 

 condition of business during the last 

 week, except that the holding back for 

 Easter becomes more apparent, although 

 there is a plentiful supply to meet all 

 demands. Prices are at the lowest ebb, 

 but at the same time superior stock 

 commands good figures. Funeral work 

 is active and numerous small home 

 functions call for enough cut flowers 

 to keep the stock well cleaned up. The 

 indications for Easter are quite prom- 

 ising, both as to supply and quality.
