Fire In an Oil Refinery.

FRANKLIN, Pa. Aug. 20.-A fire broke out
in the still department of the Eclipse lubri-
eating refinery last night, and before 1t was
got under control destroyed a large part of
the works. The fire started in an eleven
hundred-barrel benzine still that exploded
with great force. scattering the oil in all di-
rectIons. The fire departments of both Oil
City and Franklin worked for upward OF six
hours before they made any headway against
the flames. The fire destroyed nine tanks, a
number of stills, and a large mount of val
liable machinery. The larger part OF the
works was saved. No estimate can be safely

Testimony Before the Sub-Com-
mittee of the Senate.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The Senate sub-com-
mittee on education and labor resumed it's
sessions this morning. The first witness was
dent of the Woman's National Industrial
League. This organization, the witness
stated, was formed in Washington one year
ago, in consequence of the refusal OF Secre-
tary Teller to employ women in the depart
ment under his control. The membership
now includes women in every branch of in
dustry throughout the country.
Mrs. Smith said that among female tele-
graph operators many were in a condition of
want, and pecuniary distress forced them to
surrender in the strike. Mrs. Smith PROM
ised to furnish the committe with statistics
in regard to the women workers of the coun-
try.
A. H. Seymour. a telegraph operator Of
this city, who testified last week, was recalled.
He said the establishment of a govern
ment telegraph system under control OF the
civil-service reform rule, or else the adoption
of a law similar to the one adopted in Penn
sylvania in 1878, prohibiting lease or %consoli-
dation by one telegraph company of any
competing line, was desirable. The witness
cited figures to show the progress made in
the telegraph business in England since it
came under control of the government; he
also claimed that all additional facilities OBJ
tanned from new inventions there were d.
rectly beneficial to the public, while in this
country they only benefited the corporations.
He then ga We q list of a number of telegraph
companies absorbed by the Western Union
company, and claimed to show by figures
that the capital stock of that company was
greatly inflated.
w. S. Foster, a member Of the Typograph-
ical Union, testified as to the condition of
the labo ring classes in Cincinnati. One
great advantage, he thought, in legalizing
unions would be that a system of arbitration
would thus be made compulsory, and the
number of strikes be diminished. He did
not believe the seeialistie element prevailed
throughout the West. although many trades
union men held those views.

ing the death of Henry Moore, of this place,
at st. Louis last night. He died from inju-

day night on the Iron Mountain road, some
distance from ST. Louis. He was a brakeman
on the road, and was at the time of the col
lision in the engine. He was crushed and
scalded to such an extent that surgical aid
proved unavailing. In the same calamity
three other men were killed. The remains
of young Moore will be brought to this place
to night, where his parents reside.

The Genius of Hard Work.

New fork HeTAId.
1t is not genius that tells on the world, but
downright and honest hard work. Your
brains may ferment and effervesce like a
yeast-pot, but unless you can settle down to
steady toll you are worth no more to the
community than a soap-bubble, which. bursts
so soon that it is hardly worth ones while TO
stop to look at and admire it. Agood black
smith is worth a round dozen of geniuses
who wear long hair and Byronic collars and
wonder why the world doesn't adore them.

warmth and Pure Air for stock

The recent cold weather gives stock ex-
cellent appetites and shows conclusively
the Importance of providing for them
comfortable winter quarters. The loss
from unnecessary exposure of stock in
Western latitudes amounts to millions OF
dollars in this country every winter, and
the importance of the question of shelter
for stock needs to be advocated. There
IS usually much less exposure of horses
than of cattle, and the former are better
enabled to bear the inclemency of the
weather if accustomed to it. Cattle are
naturally sensitive to cold, and while with
an abundance of hearty food before them
they are capable of enduring much severe
weather, yet economy requires that due
attention be given to the subject, and
suitable means for shelter and comfort
provided. Many farmers allow their
stock to be unnecessarily exposed III win
ter, from mere carelessness and ignorance
OF the laws pertaining to the health and
comfort of all animals They need to be
reminded that the heat in all warm blood
ed ANIMALS requires to be kept at nearly
the same temperature, and that when the
weather becomes cloudy or stormy, as in
winter, some provision must be made to
keep mp the animal heat to nearly its nor
nal degree. This may usually be accom-
plished by feeding the animals heavily of
strong concentrated food, but it can be
done much cheaper by providing suitable
protection against the cutting winds and
peltiug storms. Fresh air is the vital
element of health, and on the hills cf our
dairy counties the supply from November
to May Is ordinarily ample for all de-
mauds il is mn to tle prasent vritincr

HOW. EOPICs.


Where good earth is used for potting,
plants seldom need any special manure
The best soil for plants is found in Old
meadows, the corner OF fences, etc. =,
where sod has grown a long time. Keep
the earth moderately moist, about rs it is
observed in the garden in what We call Il
growing time. Water not too frequently,
but thoroughly, SO that the earth will
have Il good soaking to the bottom Of the
pot.
Most of our plants are injured by too
much heat. For general collection of
house plants, it is not best to allow the
Thermometer to be above seventy, and if
they could be kept in room where the
thermometer would usually not range
much above sixty-tive it would be the
better in the night time fifty is high
enough. Give little fresh air every
fine day and all the sunlight attainable.
An effort should be made TO give moist
ure 20 the atmosphere, for our own good
rs well MS the health of the plants. This
can be done in various ways by evapora-
ting water but when the plants are in Il
separate apartment, like little green
house, it can be done more conveniently
and eiftctually, although this separate

freely, by Swinging, etc, and moist at

with this arrangement, can be kept lower
than would be comfortable in the living
room, ard the plants are saved from dust
and many evils which we manage to en-
dure and live, but which generally prove
too much for plant-life,
Cleanliness is as necessary to the
health of plants MS to animals, and it is
therefore, necessary to secure them from
dust as much as possible, and also tc
cleanse the plants frequently by syrns
ing or washing. Even here little eau
ton is necessary, for while the smooth
leaved plants are benefited not only by
showering, but even by washing the
leaves with cloth on sponge, the rough
leaved plants, like the Begonia Rex
do not like TO have the surface OF thei
leaves frequently moistened.
