CAUSES OF FIRE.

1t would seem that il is much easier
to set an entire house on fire. than it Is
with deliberate intention, and with proper
combustibles, to LIGHT a stove for the pur-
pose of boiling a kettle This latter oper-
alton is not So simple as it appears to be,
as any one NAV prove who has not already
tried his, or her, hand al it. In fact, an
efficient or bad house servant may be al
most at once detected by the ease or diili-
Guilty with which She lights her fires. The
inefficient servant will place some crum-
pied paper in the grate, and will throw
the best part OF "A bundle ct wood on the
top of it. crOwnng the whole with Il
smothering mass ot coal; and will expect
the fire to burn The good servant WILL
on the other hand, first clear her CRATE, so
as to insure good draught; she will then
place the wood above the paper, crossing
the sticks again and again: then the Goals
are put in deity one by one. afOrdlng in
terstices through which the flames will
love TO linger; Il light is applied; and the
kettle will soon he singing acknowledge
ments Of the warm ardOr with which it
has been wooed. Contrast this with the
other picture. where smoke and dirt make
their appearance in lieu of tea and toast.

kitchen fire, with its train of unpunc-
tual meals, leads TO more general loss
OF temper than all the other minor do
mestic troubles put together. The stove
is usually the scapegoat on which
the offending servant lays her in
competence Che cat clearly could estab-
lish an altbi;) but the most perfect of
ranges would not remedy the fault. The
only real reason for such a state of things
is the prevalence of sheer stupidity. Mol
ly's mother was taught by Molly's grand
mother to light fire in a certain way,
and Molly's defendants will, from persis-
tence of habit, continue 10 light fires in
that manner, be it good or evil. until the
end of time. 1t is quite clear that the
same stupidity which causes an Intention
al fire to fail, will occasionally lead to
pyrotechnic exhibition which has been
quite unlocked for. For instance, cases
are not unknown where servants have
used the contents of powderhorn for
coaxing an obstinate fire to burn the loss
OF finger or two generally giving them
sufhcient hint not to repeat the expert
ment. The general use of gas has done
much to reduce the number of confagra-
tons, for il has replaced other illuminators
far more dangerous but it has at the
same time contributed cause OF acci
dent which before its use could not exist.
So long as people will insist on looking
for an escape of gas with lighted can
die, SO long will their rashness be reward
ed with an explosion - Chambers Jour-

no AN OLD Tune
Happy count the farmers life,
Its various round of wholesome toll;
An honest man with loving wife.
And offspring native to the soil
Thrice harpy, surely in his breast
PLAIN wisdom and the trust in God;
His path more straight from east TO west
Than politician ever tro1.
His gains no loss to other men,
His stalwart blows inhict no wound;
Not busy with his tongue OF pen,
lie questions truthful sky aud ground.
Partner with seasons and the sun,
Natures co-worker; all bis skill
Obedience, ev'n as waters run,
Winds blow, herb beast their laws fulfill.
A vigorous youthhood, clean and bold;
A manly manhood, cheerful age
His comeiy children proudly hold
Their psrentage best heritage.
Unhealthy work, false mirth, chicane,
Guill-needlcss woe, and useless strife

How happy is the farmers life
