Exciting Scenes Mt n Hotel Fire.

Some of the exciting scenes which
took place during the fatal fire ut
Hagerstown, Md, are described in the
columns of the New York Hera1d: The
fire broke out in the front part of the
Washington Hotel under the stairway on
the second floor, and when discovered it
had gained considerable headway. A
commercial traveller was first awakened
by the smoke and he gave the alarm.
Mrs Middlekauff and servant girl were
soon aroused from their beds and they
ran through the house kicking at the
doors of the slceping-rooms and crying

on the third and fourth floors had been
cut off by the fire, and those on the
second floor found it dangerous TO escape
in that direction. Mrs. Middlrkautf did
invaluable service in saving the lives of
the inmates. Three times she visited
the upper floors, and was prevented mt 4
dangerous moment from going on the
fourth mission. She also conducted the
guests to the rear building of the hotel,
when many made their escape down the
stairway. Many others were not so
fortunate. Some jumped from he win

were seriously burned in their efforts to
get TO the outside. Thomas TroXcll
was specially warned OF the fire, but he
to be Indifferent, showing no
disposition to hurry when he received
the news. \ few hours after the fire his
body was found in Il manglcd condition
and burned beyond recognition. The
body lay among the rubbish of the stair

who was in lIagcr$town attending court,
had evidently tried to make his escape
by the front way.
S. II. Dorsey, Il young man, rescued
Mrs. Patterson and child from the third
floor ut the peril of his life. The stair
way was cnvclopcd in flames, and he
dashed forward, receiving number OF
burns about the head during his ascent.
The woman and child were uninjurrd,
their rcscucr removing them from the

Leaves in Cookery.

An English writer, speaking of the
culinary uses for leaves, says that one of
the most useful and harmless Of all
leaves for tlavoring is that of the COM
mon syringa. When cucumhers are
scarce these are a perfect substitute in
salads, where that flavor is desired.
Again the young leaves of the cucumber
itself have a wonderful similarity in
taste to that fruit. Carrot tops may be
used, and 4 prodigious waste is suffered
in not using the external leaves and
blanchcd footstalks of the celery plant,
The young leaves of the goOsebcrry
added to bottled fruit give frcsher
flavor and grccncr color to pies and
tarts. The leaves of the Towering cur
rant give Il sort of intermediate flavor
between black currants and red. Orange,
citron and lemon leaves impart Il flavor
ing equal to that of the fruit and rind
combined, and somewhat different from
both. A few leaves added to pies, or
boiled in the milk, used to bake with
rice, or formed into crusts OF paste, i'm
part IN admirable bouquet" An infu-
sion can be made Of either the green or
dry leaves, and tea or tablespoonful
used. Peach leaves give the flavor of
bitter almonds.

Mulching Trees.

During warm weather the mulching
Of young trees is 4 decided advantage to
their growth, particularly the first sea-
son after planting. Many young trees
have, after planting, started out well,
and as soon as the warm dry season
came, withercd up and died, whereas if
they had been mulchcd they would have
prospercd finely. Mulching is done by
placing 4 layer of coarse manure from
three to six inches deep, extending one
or two feet further in each direction than
the roots. This protects the earth about
the roots against drying Or baking with
wind and sun, retains to it the requisite
moisture and obviates all occasion for a
practice generally of injurious effects
the watering of newly planted trees. In
case it is not convenient to get manure,
cut down grass, weeds, etc, and put
about the trees, placing flat stones or
boards on top to keep it from blowing
away.-ErchanCe.
