BARNuM's MuszUM--The N. Y. Tri-I
bune gives the following explanation
in regard to this second destruction Of
Barnum's Museum by fire:
Barnum's Museum was burned merely
because the hyarants in the vicinity
we're frozen. Ten minutes after the dis.
covery Of the IRE two streams would
have quenched it. The Ere N achinery
was promptly on the ground, and the
firemsn were ready. but they could get
40 water. The hydrants were tapped
in vain. The pipensn Of No 33 tried
two, I,ns found them frozen, and the
Company were compelled to stretch
their hose TO the hydrant in front Of
their own building. Then, and not I'M
Ill then, stream was thrown into the
burning Museum. This is the third or
fourth instance of the freezing of n.y.
drants this Winter. We are assured
that two pals OF water would have
quencned the fire in Chamber-st. on Sat
urday evening last, but the fremen were
forced to thaw out the hydrants before
they could get water. In view Of these
facts. experts in fire matters RECON-
mend that the hydrante pipee shall be
kept empty until needed for use, and
tina. their feeders shall be SO arranged
that at short notice copious supply Of
water may be taken from the Croton
mains, and turned directly upon ire
Let the experiment be made. And
while striving to perfect our appliances
for extinguishing fires, we might profit
tably pay some attention to means of
prevention. Our theaters are notori-
ously mere finder boxes, as is abund-
antly established by the quickness with
which the flames have done their work
the last three years. Providentially,
the buildings were burned after their
audiences had dispersed. Had either
taken fire during the progress ola play,
we should have been called upon to re-
cord an event more startling than the
mere loss OF q half-million of property.
Our public buildings should be fire.

expect the rebuilding in stone or iron OF
the Imam; traps" as q builder styles oul
theatefs and churches, it seems to Us
that we may reasonably ask the Legis
lature to compel their owners or lesseef
to provide ample means of escape in thu
event Of fire. We have, thanks to al
intelligent Republican Legislature, 1
wonderfully improved Fire Department
"a Department which has proved it

it did; for all the Commissioners and

HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.

Good coffee is luxury, but one that is
seldom met with. 1t is doubtful whether
one family in a dozen know what really gcud
coffee Is. Though we have published ''Irne
upon line" upon this subject, we give the fol-
lowing, from lady correspondent Of the
Germantown Telegraph, and bnpe some Of
our lady readers will give the method recon-
'mended, a trial, and report to US the re-
suits.
The making Of good coffee is rare thing
In this country most persons boil it thus
making q decoction instead Of an infusion -
this effectually gets rid of the delicate and
agreeable aromatic favor, and leaves com
paratiyely tsste,ess beverage. The following
particulars will be found worth the atteDr
ticn (:
Never buy your coffee ground, but grind il
yourself, Immediately before useing it, keep
your coffee pot, whatever, knd you may use
wipe clean aud dry inside; a damp tea or
coffee pot acquires a musty favor that spoil>
the best tea or ccffte. The cheapest, and
perhaps the best, coffee pots are those mad,
on the French plan, call led cafctieres. II you
have not one Of these, adoht the following
plan Put your freshly ground coffee int
the coffee pot previously made warm, and
pour upon it water actually boiling, set the
pot by the side Of the fire for few seconds,
but do not lei it boil up ,hen pour a cupfui
out and return it back again to the pot, in
order to clear it having done this, let II
stand on the hob or centre to settle, and in
less than five minutes transparent, strong
aromatic cup IF fee may be poured out
The proportions Of coffee which should MT
be too finely ground) recommended, are al
ounce to pint and half Of water.
The milk used with coffee should always
be boiled and used as hot as possible, he
boiling of milk imparts a peculiar and ex,
ceed,ngly pleasant favor to the coffee. White
sugar is recommended, as the molasses like
favor of moist sugar quite oyerpowers the
delicate arena.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WASHING DAY.


The evening previous 10 washing. all the
clothes should be gathered up and assorted
wJolens, colored clothes, unbleached cottons
and linens and fine clothes, into their sepa-
rate bundles. Except woOlens and co!ored
clothes, all oiber kinds should be PIT to soak
over night, the very dirty parts having soap
rubbed on them. Ifyou use washing fluid.
it is us ually mixed IN the soaking water -
if you use no wash mixture, the next morn
ing wiring out the clothes and proceed To
wash them carefully through two warm larh
ers then boil them in clean Ia,her briskly.
but not longer than a half hour TIE las,
rinsing water should have a delicate tinge OF
blue, likewise q small quantity of starch for
all cottons or linens reserve those yon wish
sitter :oI the last, and mix more starch N
the water. Shirt bosoms and collars, skirts,
in short, anything you wish very stlff should
be dipped in starch while dry. Swiss and
other thin nuslins, and lsces are dipped in
starch while dry, and then clspped with the
hands until they are in The right condition 1"
iron. CalicOes, brilliants, aad lawns Of white
grounds are washed like any other material,
omltting the boiling until the yellow tinge
they acquire makes il absolutely necessary
Unbleached cottons and linens follow the
white clothes through tie same waters, but
must in 10 case be boiled or washed with
them as they continually discharge a. portion
OF their color, and so digcolor the white
clothes. In directing the preparations for
washing fluids, we give the process employed
with them, but colored clothes, in our eIpe-
rience can be washed in none Of them with
out injury to the color. Calicoes, colJred
lawn, and colored cottons, and linens gener-
ally, are washed through Two suds and two
rInsing waters starch being used in the last
as all clio hes look better and keep clean lon
ger if little stifened. Many c.icoes Will
spct if soap is rubbed on them they should
bewsshed in lather simply. A spoonful oi
ox>gail to gallon Of water will set the colors
Of any goods soaked in it previous TO wash
ing. A teacup Of lye in bucket of water
will improve the color of black goods. A
strong, clean tea Of common hay will preserve
the color of th"se French lineDs so much used
in-summer by both sexes. If the water in
which potatoes are cooked is saved and bull
down, it sliffens black calicoes as well as
starch, aud saves them from the dust and
'meared lock they so often have. Vinegar
in the rinsing water for pink or green calcoea
will brighten them. Pearlssh answers the
same end for purple and blue. Colorej and
white Haunels must be washed separately 3
and by no means wash after cotton or linen
as theylint from these goods sdheres to the
flannel. There should be little blue in the
rinsibg water for white flannel. AIIaR your
f4nfIels TO freeze af'er washing in winter il
bleaches them,-Jio1HeaL Witness.
