THE LONDON FIRE BRIGADE.

A Cheap and Effective Department.
There are now 80 stations of the
brigade in London, and stations are
on the Thames. where steam floating
engines are moored. In connection
with these stations which are all in COM
munication with each other by means
of the electric telegraph, there are 53
telegraph lines, and S5 miles of tele-
graph, iron-fOatiDg barge to carry a

escape stations and 125 fre-escapes.
The number of firemen employed on
the several watches kept up during the
day is 90; the number at night is 184,
so that 271 are employed on watch duty
in every tWenty-four hours. The num-
Der sick, injured, on leave, or under in
structiOn, is usually between 40 and so
The remaining men arc available for
general work at fires. During 1873 the
calls made on the brigade for turnout
of engines, were as many as 1, ,703. OF
these SO proved to be false alarms, and
Y were alarms of chimney fires. OF
fires other than chimney fires there were
1,548, of which 1e6 resulted in serious
damage, 1882 in slight damage. In 20
of those fires life was lost, and in "a of
them life was seriously endangered.
The number of lives actually lost was
35, of whom u were taken out of the
burning buildings before death, but
subsequently suceumed in hospitals or
elsewhere. The total number of calls
for chimney fires, and in which no alarm
of general fire had been raised, was
3 ,602. In these cases there was no at
tendance of engines, but only of fire.
men with hand pumps. The quantity
of water use for extinguisbing fires in
the metropolis during the year 1873,
was about 80, 500, 600 gallons, or 101, ,OOC
tons. The working accounts for the
year show the expenditure of the bri-
gade to have been nearly 1910, 900. Ol
this, between $3.50, 900 and S1S5, ,OOC
went in salaries and wages, and nearly
80, 900 for mems clothing; something

Hawaiian Reciproeity.

Negotiations for reciprocity with the
Sandwich Islands have been practically
completed and will be sent to the
senate in the course of a few days. At
the instance of the Hawaiian commits
sioner, it has been provided that the
treaty shall not go into effect until the
house of representatives gives its sane
ton by appropriate legislation. The
question recently raised by resolutions
of the Vermont legislature, IS to the
RIGHT of the president and senate alone
b decide such matters of commercial
policy. will thus be avoided.
The Hawaiian commissioners have
also suggested the insertion of clause
prohibiting the levying of export duties
on any articles named in the treaty.
This has been done in view OF the ae-
ton Of the government Of Brazil, which
when the United States removed the
import duty on coffee, levied an export
duty of five cent per pound on that ar
ticIe, which has since been added to
the profits of foreign producers and
paid by consumers.

A SANDER on BARRIERS.

A dyspeptic wag describes his barber
as follows He is always in a state of
perspiration and is greasy he wears a
paper collar his fingers are pudgy, and
his nails are in mourning, evidently for
some near relation he snips and ships
away, pinching your ears, nipping your
eyelashes and your jaws until you think
he must have cut off enough hair to fill
a mattress. he always says, "Sham-
poon, sir ?" to which you say, " No !"
and he says, ''Eh, sir ?" to which you
reply, "Nol" Two octaves higher,
"a Heads very dirty, sah," to which, if
you have experience, you respond, " I
always have it so, and cut off further
debate. But he has his revenge. He
draws his fingers in a pot of axle
grease, scented with musk and age, and
before You can divine his fearful intent
smears it all over your head and rubs it
until you look like an animated gun
swab. Then he showers weak bay rum

a thunder blasted idiot, and collects
his stipend with an air OF virtuous con-

Cut this Out.

Every person should know how to
treat a flesh wound. Every one is
liable to be placed in circumstances
away from any surgical and vetrinary
aid, where he may save his own life,
or friend or a beast, simply by the
exercise of little common sense. In
the first place, close the lips of the
wound with the hands and hold them
firmly together to check the flow of
blood until several stitches can be
taken and a bandage applied. Then
bathe the wound for long time IN
cool water. ''Should it be painful, +" a
correspondent says ''take a painful
of burning Goals and sprinkle upon
them common brown sugar, and hold
the wound IN the smoke. In a minute
or two the pain Will be allayed, and the
recovery proceeds rapidly. In my case
a rusty nail had made bad wound in
my foot. The pains and nervous irrits-
tiOn we're severe. This was all removed
by holding it IN the smoke fifteen min
utes, and was able TO resume my
reading with comfort. We have often
recommended it to others with like re-
suit. Last week one of my men had q
inger.nail torn out by a pair of ice
tongs. 1t became very painful, as
was to be expected. Held in sugar
smoke twenty minutes, pain ceased and
promised speedy recovery"
