THE oRANeER's DAUGHTER.

| A Young man who was lucky enough
to clean up in Ophir, Consolidated Vir-
sinia and other stocks, the snug little
sum of $50, 900, with which he fastened
home to his native Buckeye State,
writes to friend in this city to say that
fortune still smiles upon him. He has
achieved handsome young bride, and
with her farm of 800 acres, not two
miles from his own old rooftree. His
bride is the only daughter of rich old
Granger-an oily man of the sod, worth
bushels of money. AS our young friend
went home we'll heeled, and, more
over, is as fine lad as ever stepped in
shoe leather, there was, of course, no
"cruel parent" to distract the course of
true love in this instance everything
was lovely with the old man. Our
child of fortune sends funny account
of his interview with the old gent when
he came to ask the hand of his daugh-
ter in marriage. When the words were
spoken, the affair progressed as follows:

CLOTHES ON FIRE.

Three persons out of four would
push right up to the burning individual
and begin to paw with their hands
without any definite aim. 1t is useless
to tell the victim to do this or that, or
call for water. In fact, it is generally
best not to say q word, but to seize a
blanket or any wooden fabric-if none
is at hand, take any wooden material
hold the corners as far apart as you can,
stretch them out higher than you head
and running boldly to the person, make
a motion of clasping in the arms, most
ly about the shoulder. This instantly
smothers the FIRE and saves the face.
The next instant throw the person on
the floor. This is an additional safety
to the face and breath, and any rem
nant of fame can be put out more leis-
urely. The next instant immerse the
burnt part in cold water, and all pain
will cease with the rapidity Of light
ing. Next get some common -four,
remove from the water, and cover the
burnt parts with an inch in thickness of
-four; if possible, put the patient to
bed, and do all that is possible to soothe
until the physician arrives. Let the
-four remain until it falls off of itself,
when beautiful new skin can be found.
Unless the burns are deep, no other
applications are needed. The dry -four
for burns is the most admirable reme-
dy ever proposed, and the information
ought to be impaired to all. The prin-
ciple of its action is, that like the wa
ter, it causes instant and perfect relief
from pain by totally excluding the air
from the injured parts.-Scienty6c Amer-
