THE PECK-WILLIAMSON COMPANY. Dear Sirs:-The severe winter just passed afforded ample opportunity to test the inerits of the UNDERFEED FURNACE you installed in our parsonage last October. It fully met every demand made upon it. We are ready to affirm that it surpassed all claims you advanced for it, and I would emphasize the following points of excellence: 1. There are ten registers in our home, one in each room, half on the second floor. The house was heated effectively at all times, even in the coldest weather. 2. Only a few times during below-zero weather did I have to feed the furnace more than twice in 24 hours. In mild weather I frequently did not touch it in 36 to 40 hours, except to regulate draught. 3. I had no difficulty in operating the furnace. 4. We burned last winter not quite 375 bushels slack, costing us 4 cents per bushel, delivered, total $15.00. Needless to add, it is my belief that you have solved the problem of providing a furnace that will give abundance of steady heat, at minimum cost for fuel. Yours very sincerely, (Signed) J. W. ENGLISH, Pastor. Compare the above cost with your coal bills for last winter. It is none too early to begin planning for next winter. Heating Plans and Services of our Engineering Dept. absolutely free. Let us send you FREE our UNDERFEED Book and fac-simile voluntary letters proving every claim we make.

Ex-President American Hunter McGuire, M.D., LL.D., Medical Association, and of the Medical Society of Virginia; late President and Professor of Clinical Surgery, University College of Medicine, Richmond, Va.: "It has never failed me as a powerful NERVE TONIC when I have prescribed it as such. I sometimes think it must contain Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. It acts as that compound does-as a tonic and alterative.

The words have been in use in a colloquial or humorous sense since 1728 by such writers as Fielding and Jortin, the latter of whom, in his Ecclesiastical History," writes: Augustine seems to have had a small doubt whether Apuleius was really transmogrified into an ass." " The words have also been used by Foote, Scott, and Barham. (See 'Ingoldsby.") 41 "A. R.," New York.-"Among the absurd words coined by some nomenclator who can not speak Greek are two especially remarkable: 'optometer,' 'optometry. In reality the latter means the measurement of something that is broiled or roasted." 66 44 While it is true that the Greek optos, "seen," is very rare, it is a legitimate formation froin the root op-, to see," and is an entirely different word in origin from optos, cooked." Optos, seen," is not a mere modern formation, but occurs in Lucian's "Lexiphanes," ix. The word " optometer" has formed a part of the English vocabulary since 1738, and in view of the words "optogram," optostriate,' optotype," etc., it would be difficult to change it now. With pleasure. We give the definitions below: "banausic, a. Merely mechanical or of mechanics. ephebic, a. Of or pertaining to the training or exercise of ephebe. haptic, a. Relating to the sense of touch. meristic, a. Of or pertaining to a metamere; being a metamere." The words are all to be found in the Standard Dictionary. "A. H.." Chicago, Ill.-"What is the difference between the words 'big' and 'large'? Is there a rule by which one can determine the correct use of these words?" Big" is often used colloquially and in bad taste for "great"; as, "He is a big man instead of "" . a great man." A " big man may be very far from being a great" man. Washington was mentally and spiritually a "great" man, physically a large" man, but no one should speak of the father of his country as a "big" man. Large" denotes extension in more than one direction, and beyond the average of the class to which the object belongs; we speak of a large" surface or a "large' solid, a "large" field, a "large" room, "large" apple, etc. A "large" man is a man of more than ordinary size; a "great" man is a man of remarkable mental power. 'Big" is a more emphatic word than "large," but ordinarily less elegant; therefore, "large" should be preferred. a Two Ideal Books for Summer Reading By F.

FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, Pubs., NEW YORK SAPOLIO SAPOLIC H A FAMOUS MOUNTAIN RESORT. Mauch Chunk, within easy excursion distance of New York, is one of the most strikingly picturesque resorts in the country. Lying among the hills twelve miles within the Lehigh Gap, it appears so be so completely walled in, that it is only when the traveler has attained one of the commanding summits, and descried the wonderful horseshoe bend of the narrow valley, that he can conceive how such a cul de sac can be approached from any direction by a railroad. The houses rise above each other as they back up against the rising hillside. On the opposite side of the river the precipitous bluffs of Bear Mountain, from the Indian of which the town derives its name, form the front of the horseshoe round which the current sweeps. Trout fishing may be indulged in at the preserve of the Penn Forest Brook Trout Company, which comprises about sixty-five ponds and dams and is fed by four mountain streams. Nearer at hand, however, are the great scenic attractions of the resort. A trolley line attains the "Flag Staff" on the mountain at the southern end of the city, and westward lies the old Switch-back or Gravity Railroad, which historically and physically is of the most unique interest. On Mount Pisgah, behind the site of the town, coal was discoverd by a hunter in 1791. The earliest anthracite mines of the country were opened in this vicinity, and the Gravity Railroad was constructed to bring the output down to the river. The length of the line was nine miles, and it was constructed at an even grade for the whole distance. Mules were used for years to haul the empty cars back to the mines. These sagacious beasts were wont to toil patiently up the long road, but they refused flatly to be driven down, having once become accustomed to the exhilaration of coasting with the coal and enjoying the beauties of the natural scenery. In 1844 a return track was laid. Machinery was installed to draw the cars up Mount Pisgah and Sharp Mountain, but the cars ran the remainder of the way by their own gravity. Of late years the railroad has been used exclusively for recreation. As we ascend Mount Pisgah the earth seems to sink away from us, and the vast amphitheatre of the hills falls into perspective. It is a thrilling sight. The summit reached, we slowly cross a trestle over a wild ravine.. To the north lies Broad Mountain, and we catch a glimpse of Glen Onoko through a distant ravine. Behind us the Lehigh Gap is outlined in blue. The river winds below like a silver serpent, banded by a bridge where it is crossed by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The towns cuddled in the valley sides look like toy houses from a Noah's Ark. Now we gather speed as we roll along; on the right rises a ridge buried in forest, and below, on the other hand, we pass the old tunnel and hamlet of Hackelbernie. From Bloomingdale Valley the second ascent is made, this time to a slightly higher altitude, and again we scan a wide panorama bounded by mountain ranges. From here we scarcely travel a mile before we come to the turning point, the quaint old mining village of Summit Hill Here there is much of interest to be seen. The mines may be visited, and the burning mine, a vein which has been smouldering since 1832, and is now on fire at a great depth, should be seen. The return ride over the nine miles of continuous descending grade is perhaps the pleasantest part of the trip. Starting gradually as before, great speed is soon attained, and we whistle through the greenwood on the wings of the wind. Under the shadow of great crags, through forests of rhododendron and laurel, by purling mountain streams, and out again across open pasture land the car leaps like a thing alive. Finally we descry the roofs and spires of Mauch Chunk, and all too quickly the ride comes to an end. Whoever is thrilled by the scenic railways indoors at Coney Island, should try this indescribable coast of eighteen miles around the everlasting hills. The New Jersey Central runs fortnightly excursions to Mauch Chunk at popular prices, and if you are interested send for circulars to C. M. Burt, General Passenger Agent, New York City.
