TERRIBLE OCCURRENCE IN MAuASoY
CITY.-0n Tuesday evening last about
9 o'clock, after the family Of Mr.. Ma
thaniel Carrot, in Mahanoy City, had
retired, the servant, o woman some 40
years Of age, took o coal oil lamp into
Mrs. Carrots bedroom. She then blew
down the chimney of the lamp, to ex-
tinguish the flame Of the wick. The
lamp bursted, covering the unfortunate
woman from head to foot with oil, which
took fire. Tho terrified servant all
ablaze, ran to the bed on which Mrs.
Carrot was sleeping, setting 1t on fire.
She also, ran around the room, setting
the bureau cover and the carpet on fire.
From that she ran into another room,
setting the clothing there on FIRE. The
blazing bedclothes were thrown out of
q window, and an attempt made to catch
the woman who ran wildly ell over the
house, up stairs, setting everything on
fire with which she came in contact.
She finally fell down stairs, where she
was secured. She was burned sc terri.
bly, from head to foot, that after linger-
ing in great agony, she died on Thurs
day morning last. Mrs. Carrot had n
hand badly burned in ex%tinguishing the
b%edclothes, and the clothing of the SER
want. Mr.. Carrot was burned slightly.
In view Of this distressing occurrence,
w would caution persons using coal
oil, never to blow down the chimney Of
q lamp to put out the flame, because the
gas in the lamp occupying the space un-
filled by oil, is very combustible, and
will under certain circumstances, most
certainly, explode.-Miners' Journal.

SLEEP.-Many children, instead of
being plump and fresh rs a peach, are
as withered and wrinkled as last years
apples, because they do not sleep
enough. Some physicians think that
the bones grow only during sleep. This
I cannot say certainly but | do know
that those little folks who sit up late
nights are usually nervous, weak, small,
and sickly. The reason why you need
more sleep than your parents is because
you have to grow and they do not.
They car use up the food they eat In
thinking, talking and working, while
you should save some o yours for grow
ing. You ought to sleep q great deal |;
If you do not, you will in activity con-
sumo ali you eat, and have none, or not
enough, to grow with. Very few smart
children excel, or even equal, other
people when they grow up. Why is
this2 Because their heads, if not their
bodies, are kept too busy /; so they can
not sleep, rest, and grow strong in body
and brain. Now, when your mother
says Susie or Mary, or whatever your
name may be, it is to 60 to bed, do not
worry her by begging to sit up "just a
little longer" But hurry of to your
chamber, remembering that You have a
great deal of sleeping and growing to do
to make you a healthy, happy, useful
man or woman.
