CARELEssNEss WITH F1RE.-Asthe
season has arrived when fires become
necessary in dwellings and places Of
business, the danger of conhagrations
increases. In all the essays which
have ever been written upon the unde-
niable truth that great effects pro-
coed from little causes" one Of the
most familiar and universal illustra-
tons employed is fire. We are always
pointed to the fact that the most des-
tructive fires have small beginnings.
A spark which a lumber of water
might have quenched, left to itself, des-
troys whole squares, involving the
loss Of millions. A COW kicks over a
lantern in stable, and the most valu-
able part of large city is destroyed.
A burning cigar or match carelessly
cast aside, or a great fire unmatched,
often causes immense conhagrations.
During the year ending December 81,
1872, there were, in New York city
alone, 439 fires caused by want Of care
with matches; 1913 by defects in hues
and heating and cooking apparatus
146 by foul chimneys II by hot ashes
and Goals. Thus, among 1895 fires,
the total number in that city during
the year named, S0O-a fraction over
81 per cent.-mig ht have been preven-
ted ordinary care. During the year
ending 31st March, 1874, there were
in Chicago ITO fires caused by care
lessness," and to matches, defective
and foul chimneys, stoves and gas
pipes We're attributable l0l. The in
spector of buildings in Boston, in lS43,
reported 500 dang erous chimneys and
defective fues These same mischiev-
GUS matches and defective fues and
defective heating and cooking apparat-
us in twelve cities, not including New
York, Boston and Chicago, caused 600
fires during the year 1872.
Important lessons of care and eau
ton ought to be learned from these
figures. Fireplaces, stoves, flues and
chimneys ought to be examined care
fully and often. Cigar ends and
matches ought not to be incautiously
disposed of They are small things in
themselves, but never forget the old
saying, that great effects proceed
from little causes.

The New York World draws a
gloomy picture of the probable condi-
ton Of the laboring classes in New
York, the coming winter. Of the 3d.
900 unskilled laborers in the city,
about a third are now out of employ
ment, ard the World apprehends that
more than half of them must lie idle
this winter. Wages have fallen from
50 to $3.50 day, and may be reduced
to 1925. Probably the return Of i'm
migrants and laborers to the rural dis
tricts will relieve the crowding some
what, but the outlook is certainly
gloomy for thousands of laborers with
families to maintain.
