Escape from Houses on Fire.

Mr.. Braidwood, Superintendent Of the Lon
don Fire Brigade, has published the following
judicious directions to guide persons in escap4
ing from houses on fire:
l. Be careful to acquaint yourself with the
best means of exit from the house both at the
top and bottom.
2. On the first alarm, reflect before you act.
If in bed at the time, wrap yourself in blan-
ket or bedside carpet open no more doors or
windows than are absolutely necessary, and
shut every door after you.
8. There are always from eight to twelve
inches of pure air close TO the ground; if you
cannot, therefore, walk upright through the
smoke, drop on your hands and knees and thus
progress. A welted silk handkerchief, piece
of flannel, or worsted stocking drawn over
the face. permits breathing, and TO great ex-
tent, excludes the smoke.
A. IF you can neither make your way up
wards q downwards, ge, into front room; if
there is a family, see that they are all collected
here, and keep the door closed as much as pos
sible, for remember that smoke always follows
draft, and fire always rushes after smoke.
5. On no account throw yourself, or allow
others 10 throw themselves, from the window.
If no assistance is at hand, and you are in ex-
tremiiy, tie the sheets together. and having
fastened one end to some heavy pieces Of fnrni.
ture, let down the women and children one BY
one, tying the end of the line of sheets around
the waist. and lowering them through the win-
dow ,ha, is over the area. You can easily lie,
yourself down after the helpless are saved.
g. III woman's clothes should catch fire,
let her instantly roll herself over and over on
the ground; if man be present, let him throw
her down and do the like, and then wrap her
in rug or coat, or the first wooden thing that
is at hand.

Victoria wants to go a Shopping.

1t is generally remarked that the Queen is
enjoying herself very much indeed. She is
out every evening, and people pretend that if
it depended on her she would 20 about shop
ping in Regent street, with Prince Albert 10
carry her umbrella or 10 help in mobing tho
perambulator. And one Of the hardest re-
straints Of female sovereign is certainly that
which furbids her to 60 shopping 1t is all
very well TO say that she can have sent home
what she likes, and in any quantity she lkes
still it is not the thing which ladies royal or
others care for. 1t is the excitement that
makes shopping delicious to them, the excite
nent in looking for trimmings or ribbons ito
match dress or bonnet. The excitement Of
censuring the pattern of this, and finding fault
with that Of another article. The excitement
of seeing the confusion worse confounded on
the counter, that exeriion to find between a
thousand patterns, patiently shown, the one
which should please her taste.' can per-
pectly understand that excitement. II is es-
sentally womanish. Ii is the better, or rather
refined part Of that feeling which men fond Of
drinking are subject to, by prefening glass
of brandy taken in the public house, to two
glasses taken at home. 1t is this desire for
shopping which the Qreeu's frequent visits TO
the Crystal Palace and some other places Of
public resort may be attributed to. Her Maj
esty is but woman after all and if appears
ances may be relied upon, seems 10 be tired of
being ever and always Queen. Last Monday
evening she took her husband and two of her
children to the seventh Concert of the Phil
harmonic Society in Hahuver square rooms,
and actually did not nse the royal box, but oc-
curied seat in front Of the orchestra, as if to
say, please let me enjoy myself at my ease,
and show my dress, as any other lady And
SO she did, and people were by this occasion
enabled to see that the Princess Royal had
hair dress rmperatriec, and lha. Her Maj
esiy looks, latter all, wonderfully WE'LL The
