Another fatality was yesterday added to
the long list of deaths caused by the foolish
and careless practice of applying carbon oil
to lighted fire to cause it to burn up more
lively. On Saturday morning Mrs. Craw-
ley, residing at the head of Sandusky street,
Allegheny, arose early and being in q
hurry to prepare breakfast wanted the fire
in the kitchen stove to burn quickly. After
lighting the kindling in the fire place she
took off one of the lids and proceeded to pour
oil into the stove. 1t ignited very quickly
so suddenly in fact that the oil in the can
took fire and exploded burning the unfortu
nate woman in a terrible manner about the
face and breast. She also inhaled the
flame, burning her mouth and throat
frightfully. The poor victim fingered in
great agony until three O'Clock yesterday
morning when death put an end to her suf-
erings.-PittS6urgh Dispatch.

The Family.

The family is the educator Of
the rae. Here men and women
are made. What they are in the
world, that they were in the fami-
ly as chi dren. The family is the
place where the first lessons of law
are received aud where the whole
character in view of law has q di-
rection given it. The citizens Is
made in the family long before
the time for voting or activity has
come. When Napoleon said, in
answer to Madame de Stael's ques-
ton about Frances great need,
Mothers" he asserted the all-pO-
tent influence of true family life.
The family IS the great means
for the development of character.
What a world does it present for
the affections to abide in Where
on all the earth beside are sympa-
thies 80 warm, love so pure and
fervent, as here? All that gives
value or beauty to human charac-
ter finds in the family at once an
atmosphere in which to expand
and develop the elements which
shall bring it to the highest per-
lection. The family creates y per-
petual power which holds and
moves evermore each individual
of the circle. The parental love,
evoked every hour in providing,
watching, guiding, throws back its
influence over the heart and life of
father and mother, and makes
what they never could be without
il i; IL is a power which tends all
the time to lift them to higher
and better place.
