The New York Pawubrokers.

From the New York Times
One OF the most certain indications OF
hard times is an increase in the business OF
pawnbrokers. These refugees Of the poor

and that this reports from other pawnbrok

How to Light a Fire.

Many persons have often noticed the
extreme difficulty encountered in lighting
the fire in stove, especially in still, damp
morning. The stove at first won't draw
even vigorous blowing" will not suffice
and then, when it does start, it is with
sort of explosion or outward rush of air
which fills the room with smoke and gas,
oftentimes putting the unpleasant fumes in
the face of the operator. The trouble is
caused by the difficulty encountered in
Overcoming the inertia of the long col
umn of air in the pipe or chimney, by the
small column of air that can be forced
through the interstices Of wood and coal,
at the bottom of which the FIRE is kindled.
All this may be remedied by simply put
ting few shavings or bits of dry paper on
the top of the wood or coal, and first light
ing that ,itimmediately bursts into blaze,
because the air has perfectly free access to
it FROM all sides, the heated air forces its
way into the chimney, aud establishes there
an upward current The match can then
be applied to the kindling under the fuel
which will readily light, and if dry, burst
into brisk fame.

Many similar instances are witnessed,
and remarking the character Of the various
pledges offered, il was asked if there were
not more household necessities and cloth
ing pledged than usual An affirmative
answer was given, and it was stated that
people seemed to be scraping up everything
which it was possible to part with TO pawn.
You can safely calculate, added the
clerk, that times were never harder, for

cHkPPED HANDS.

In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an oily secretion, which answers
the same purpose as oiling leather Dur
ing warm weather this secretion, in COM
mon with all the other secretions Of the
skin, is more abundant than in cold When
it is insufficient the skin becomes dry and
harsh and on those parts of the body
where the skin is thick and subject to
motion as on the hands, it readily cracks
or assures. The amount of this secretion
is SO much reduced in cold weather that
the frequent washing of the hands with
soap causes them to chap readily. and this
the more certainly if the soap is not wash
ed off The alkal in soap is usually in ex-
cess, and this combines with the oily Sc
erection, and so deprives the skin of its nat
ural lubricator. To prevent the hands
from chapping then, be careful to wash
all soap from them thoroughly in clean
water. This will ordinarily suffice; but, if
not, it win be necessary to make good the
removed oil by using KENNEDY'S SALT
RHEUM OINTMENT, a sure cure for all
skin diseases Of whatever name or nature
