FIRE TRAPS.

III you have your houses insured, and
are anxious to collect the insurance money
1t will be good plan when you go about
your house at night to light matches to
see by, instead of taking the trouble to
light lamp. Throw down the match
as soon as it begins to scorch your fin
gers, and do not take the trouble to see
where it falls. 1t is not worth while to
caution children against this habit, while
you keep up the practice yourself. 1t
will not make much difference if the
house does 'burn down in good hands,
If this method fails, lay matches
around wherever it comes handiest.
Have no particular place for them, and
let the children have bunch to play
with up in the garret. | saw the top Of
large hotel burned off one Sunday by
this very simple process. Even mice
rummaging around pantry will nibble
away at wax matches. and often give one
start with their sharp little teeth. A
box was found ia a store which had been
knocked off the shelf during the night,
and every match lighted. The box was
SO close that the lire was smothered down
or there would have been big insurance
bill to collect.
A great many fires come from bad
stove-ppe arrangements, and flues that
are not we'll lined with mortar. A very
little crack in the chimney, as it passes
through the garret is sufficient for spark
to fly through. If it chances to light in
the paper-box, it will very likely soon be
in a blaze.
Do not go yourself or allow others to go
with light into clothes closet at night.
If you allow the practice of lighting
fires with kerosene at your house, you will
very likely have many surgical and under
takers bills to pay out OF your insurance
money.
A frien1 burned his barn down in a very
easy way He went out one night to fod-
der, and struck a match against the door
casing. The flame caught on the dust and
lint and boards of wheat and bits of chaff
that had settled there. and ran up the tim
Der like streak of lightning. 1t caught
the hay overhead, and in twenty minutes
the barn was fiat on the ground. Some
valuable stock was burned up, beside all
the grain just harvested, and all the farm
| ing implements housed there.
Housewives often lay little fire-traps
snugly away in their closets and out-of-
the-way hooks, in the shape of creased
rags, which have been used for some
purposes. 1t will do quite as we'll Sec
ond time; so it is tucked away in some
little dish, and not thought of again per-
haps for months. Meantime it may gen.
crate heat enough to produce spontaneous
combustion and burn the house down.

Tho Administration is held responsible
aud denounced for keeping troops in
Louisiana and Mississippi when they
arc wanted on the frontier Sheridan.
Sherman and Grant were all frolioking

being butchefed by tho Indians. The
indignation Ii SO great that Sheridan
will be forced TO take command in the
