A Novel Fire Department,

A correspondent writing from Bay
reuth, in describing fire, saws: The
night l arrived | had the unexpected
pleasure of seeing comedy. 1t was a
genuine German comedy, too Its sub
lect-matter was the efforts Of the Bay
reuth fire brigade to put out fire. |
was awakened from sound sleep by the
loud beating of a drum under my win
dows. [ could hear drums beating in
various parts of the city, the church bells
were ringing, there was the heavy tramp
OF soldiers through the street, people
rushing about and shouting ssfirer' in
fact, every indication of fire except the
noise OF the engines. A house little
way down the street was burning. A
crowd had gathered there [ found the
infantry guarding patch of beans, the
cavalry stationed about the potato patch
with flashing sabers, and the artillery
drawn up around a pear tree. The
flames were cracking merrilv among
the beams. AT last, around the corner
appeared six big Germans CARRYING 4
small ladder, and, after them, six small
Germans carrying a big ladder. These
twelve Germans wore green suits and
brass helmets. When they had managed
to place the big ladder against the front
OF the house they ran away again. After
awhile we hearda rafting as though a
dog with a tin can tied to his tail was
running through the next street. The
twelve Germans again turned the corner,
drawing after them what looked like a
tin box on wheels. 1t was the iire-engine
an open tin box with hand-pump.
A hose was attached A fireman mounted
ladder. Another fireman carried the
hose up to him. Meanwhile, women
with large wooden panniers strapped to
their backs brought water from the
nelghboring fountain and emptied it into
the engine. Finally, everything was
ready, and the pumping began. Several
large streams of water came from the
joints of the hose and wet the by-standers
small stream came from the nozzle.
The lire was such triile that they really
managed to get it under control. They
decided to adjourn. In about an hour
they came back and finished their work.
heard one Bayreuther say to another
that after all the Bayreuth fire brigade
was the bestin the world. The next day
the City Council voted a resolution of
thanks and a compensation of twelve
and one-half cents to the women who
carried the water from the fountain to
the engine. During the 'Parsifar' per-
tormances the tiremen are distributed
through the theater. This seems to me
unnecessarily building could burn
down without their assistance.

A Corner Bracket.

Have a plain, pretty shaped shelf
not too large-put up across the corner
OF your room. Cover the top nicely
with dark, smooth cloth; then take d
piece of fine, firm satin wine colors

of the proper width and length for
the front piece to the shelf; paint near
one end of this white garden lily with:
bit of the stalk and two or three Of the
slender, green leaves; near the other
end, a sprig of blue bells, and in the
center small bouquet of yellow, white
and purple pansies.. Line with buck
ram or padding to stiffen; hem the bot
tom, and finish with handsome fringe
to match fastcn up around the edge
OF the shelf. If You lack the skill or
time to do. the hand-painting nicely,
procure instead a card of the small va
rlety pictures now so much used for
such purposes; cut out carefully, paste
neatly, and finish as above.-Lountry

FARM AND FIRESDE.

| Crops of thirty-tive to forty bushels
of wheat per acre are common in West
ern New York this year.-N Y. Erans-
taer.
Lemons may be kept fresh for long
| time by putting them in cold water and
placing them in cool place. The water
should be changed every two or three
days.
An Iowa man writes to the New
York Tribune that he has found the best
cayenne pepper, put on with an ordinary
| pepper-boX, a sovereign remedy for cab
| bage-worms, after years of trial.
The Rural Ne,U Yorber says: The
best advice we can give in fitting fields
for wheat is to prepare the land
thoroughly, and after it has been har-
rowed for tie last time-harrow it again.
The London Gardeners Chronicle
recommends raising a high, dry mound
in every poultry-yard, no matter whether
the yard be an acre in extent or only e
few yards square. There is nothing
fowls, especially young ones, enjoy more
than squatting themselves on a mound.
When potatoes are ripe and the
tops become dry they should be at once
dug and put into cool cellar. 1t is best
to put them in small bins. Great care
should be used in digging not to cut or
bruise the tubers, which hastens decay.
Chicago Journal.
The Scientific american gives the
following recipe for the benefit of those
who prefer to make their own baking
powder: Pure cream of tartar, two
pounds; bicarbonate of soda, one pound;
corn starch, one ounce. All the ingredi-
ents must be perfectly dry before mixing,
and very thoroughly mixed. One tea
spoonful is required for one pound Of
flour. If the materials are not pure, of
course the result will not be satisfactory
-" The way" says a very positive
friend of mine, land the only way to
make a peach pie, is to put whole peach
es in the crust" Remove the skin, of
course, and scatter sugar over the peach
just as if you were making the pie in
the usual way, The flavor of the peach
is thus preserved in a surprising manner,
and the presence of the pit is not so OBJ
jectiona5le as one would suppose. 1t is
common practice to put a few whole
peaches in each can when putting up this
truit.-N. 7. Post.
Fig candy is not at all difficult to
make. Take one cup of sugar, one-third
OF q cap of water and one-fourth of a
teaspoonful Of cream of tartar; let the
sugar and water boil until it is pale
brown color; shake the basin in which 1t
is boiling gently, to prevent its burning,
but do not stir it at all until just before
you take it from the fire; then stir in the
cream of tartar. Wash aud cut open
some figs; spread them on platter; then
pour the sugar over them. Take care
to have each fig covered; set them in a
cool place till the sugar has time to
harden. -Erchunqe.

Saving the Rags.

A heap of little BITS of calico and Imam
lay just ahead of Phenie's broom. 1t
was a very cunning new broom, and II
swept as clean as new brOoms ALWAYS
| do. The sitting-room had to be swent
a good many times in day, for Miss
Poor, the dressmaker, was there, snip-
ping and shipping and making all the
litter she possibly could-so Picnic
thought. But she liked to sweep it i'm
very well, indeed.
"ld pick those pieces out and save
them for paper-rags," said Aunt Anna,
coming in just at that minute.
There's such little of EN- said
Picnic. 81 don't believe it's cents
worth, want to go out and sweep the
veranda. too"
SO Picnic tidgeted minute with her
broom, and when she found Aunt Anna
didn' say any more she left the bits of
cotton in a corner of the wide brick
hearth, and went out to sweep the We
randa floor. And when she went in
again the rags were all out of the wav.
All through the summer there were
good many bits of cloth and paper to
pick up; but Picnic didn't touch them
very often. There was ALWAYS such
little, and she didn't like to anyway.
But in the fall a tin-peddler drove up
to the door, in a shiny-green cart let
tered with gold. And among other
beautiful things he had some little tin
pals, painted and lettered. too.
30 auntie," SCREAMED Picnic, in the
greatest delight, ''can't have onessn
Thirty cents, only" said the pedder.
After one look at Aunt Anna S face,
Picnic felt, with dreadful sinking of
her heart, that he might as wei have
said thirty dollars
Jpn take rags said the peddler,
swinging one of the pals on his finger;
''four cents a pound.''
Aunt Annals eyes began to laugh
"Haye you got any rags, Phenie?'
she asked.
'Nom M" said Picnic, solemnly. l'HE1
If you had only saved them, Pie
Il But there-was such a, little" said
Picnic.
Aunt Anna laughed. Then she
brought in from behind the shed-deor a
bag stuffed full of rags. ''Here they are,
Phcnie," said she.
Picnic opened her eyes, and the ped
dier began to 'augh. In minute lie
had weighed the rags. sg. dsf
1.-The pals yours, said he, ''and two
cents over. Many alittle makes a good
deal, little girl. Now, I'm coming round
again next spring. Can't you save some
rags for me?'' =. .-,...3 gdt
9 Yes, sir" said Picnic, hugging her
pail with the two jingling coppers. 1'.
And the other day when Aunt Anna
found breadth OF her lilac poplin dress
in Phenie's rag-bag, she almost wished
that Picnic wouldn't pick the rags up
quite so snug.
