COW TO ACT AT AT A FIRE.
Some Valuable Instructions to those whit may
be in q Burning House-What to do when
Your Clothing is on Fire,

Some Valuable Instructions to those who may
be in o Burning House-What to do when
Your Clothing is on Fire.
The royal society for the protection of
life from fire has published it's directions to
its subordinates. and some suggestions for
others whe may be at fires in London, the
following Of which are applicable in New
York:
Every householder should make each per-
son in his house acquainted with the best
means of escape, whether the fire breaks
out at the top or bottom.
Inmates at the first alarm should endeav-
or calmly to reflect what means of escape
there are in the house: If in bed at the
time, wrap themselves in a blanket or bed
side carpet open neither windows nor
doors more than necessary shut every
door after them. CThis is most important
to observer
In the midst of smoke it is comparatively
clear toward the ground, consequently pro-
gress through smoke can be made on the
hands and knees. A silk handkerchief,
worsted stocking, or other flannel substance
wetted and dawn over the face permits
free breathing, aud excludes to a great ex-
tent the smoke from the lungs. A wet
sponge ia alike efflcacious.
In the event of being unable to escape
either by the street door or roof, the per-
sons in danger should Immediately make
their way to q front room window, taking
care to close the door after them, and thoae
who have charge Of the household should
ascertain that every individual is there as
eembled.
Persons thus circumstanced are entreated
not to precipitate themselves from the win
dow while there remains the least proba-
bility of assistance and even in the last
extremity a plain rope is invaluable, or re-
course may be had to joining sheets or
blankets together, fastening one end round
the bedpost or other furniture. This will
enable one person to lower all the others
separately, and the last may let himself
down with comparatively little risk. Select
a window over the doorway rather than
over the area.
Do not give vent to the fire by breaking
into the fire unnecessarily from without, or,
If an inmate, by opening doors or windows;
make a point of shutting every door after
you as you go through the house. For this
purpose doors enclosing the staircase arc
very useful.
Upon discovering yourself on fire, reflect
that your greatest danger arises from draft
to the flames and from their rising upward.
Throw yourself on the ground, and roll
over on the flame, if possible on the rug OF
loose druRget, which drag under you the
table cover, a mans coat, anything of the
kind at hand, will serve your purpose
scream for assistance, ring the bell, but dc
moi run out Of the room, or remain in al
upright position.
Persons especially exposed to a risk o.
their dresses taking fire should adopt the
precaution of having all their linen ant
cotton fabrics washed in a weak solution Of
chloride Of zinc, alum, or tungstate o.
soda.

his brother!" whispered one of the men as
he stood on the knoll and bent his head to
listen.
"Good huff Cowards have no business out
here!" growled the Texan.
| The first speaker wheeled, struck the ruff
| fan sledge-hammer blow in the face, and
| then, running for the horses, cried out:
''Come on! come on! A dozen of us can
be spared for the rescue!
Sixteen men swept down the valley like
the wind. The firing and the yelling con-
tinued, proving that the man who had been
| called a coward was making heroic fight
In ten minutes they came upon the lone camp,
made light as day by the burning wagon.
by circle of dancing, leaping, howIing saw
ages, was Joseph's dead body. The gold
hunters heard the pop. pop pop! of the
boys revolver as they burst into view, and
| the next moment they were charging down
upon the demons, using rifle and revolver
with terrible effect. In two minutes not
live Indian was in sight. Joseph's brother
stood over the body, an empty revolver in his
hand. The men cheered wildly as they looked
around. but the boy looked up into their faces
without sign Of exultation, surprise, or glad
ness. .a,a
There were three dead Indians beside the
wagon. killed where the fight commenced,
and the corpses in front Of Josephs brother
numbered more than the victims of the six
teen men.
''Is Joseph badly hurt, asked one of the
men, as he halted his horse beside the boy.
''He is dead!" whispered the white-faced
defender.
"He is! God forgive me for the part
took last night"
"You called him coward" cried Joseph's
brother,s land you are to blame for this!
Was he y coward? Look there! and there!
and there! We drove them back from the
wagon-drove them clear out here Joseph
is..dead. You are his murderers!"
Every man was near enough to hear his
voice and to note his action as he picked up
the rifle of an Indian and sent bullet through
his own head. With exclamations of grief
and alarm trembling on their lips, the men
sprang from their saddles. The boy was
dead-dead as Joseph-and both corpses were
bleeding from dozen wounds.
''Well carry 'em up to the train, and have
burial in the morning." said one of the
men, and the bodies were taken up behind
two of the horsemen. They did have burial,
and men looked into the grave with tears in
their eyes, for they had discovered that
Joseph's brother was a woman. Yes, a
woman, with the whitest throat and softest
hands. 1t might have been Josephs wife or
sister, or sweetheart. No one could tell that
but they could tell how they had wronged
him, and they said. as they stood around the
grave: I'VE hope the Lord won't lay it up
aein u.s."

Advice to JOk erS.

Always let your jokes be well-timed. Any
time win do for good joke but no time will
DO, for bad one. Any place will fit, pro-
yiding the joke itself be fitting, but it never
fits if a joke be out of its place. You cannot
order a joke as you would coat or pair of
boots. In connecting jokes, as in making
pudding. each person employs similar ma
terial, but the quality of the dish is entirely
dependent on the skill of the artistic. The
utterer of good joke is useful member of
society, but the maker of q bad one is more
despicsble character than the veriest coiner
by profession. A joke from gentleman is
an act of charity; an uncharitable joke is an
ungentlemanly act. The retort courteous is
the touch-stone of good feeling; the reply
churlish- the proof Of cold-headed stupidity.
