stoves for the winter, and more than
the usual amount Of irewood is being

buildings everywhere are as dry as
finder, and therefore liable to catch nre
on any sort Of q show OF encourage
ment. Therefore see that there is plenty
of SPACE between the stove-pipe n the
woodwork, and see, too, that the stove
nine is firmly fixed and q good hign'
above the roof. There is more DANCE
now than after the wet season sets IN
