What to Do Ia Case Of Fire.

The papers have lately told us OF a
number of distressing deaths by fire.
Great hotels and warehouses have
suddenly burst into sheets of flame in
the night, and frantic people have
either perished in the dreadful Blaze
or, throwing themselves from win
dows, have been dashed to pieces in
the street. 1 hope that none Of my
young friends may ever have to pass
through so awful an experience. But
if you should be surprised, at night OF
in the daytime, by the presence OF
smoke in your rooms, do not lose your
wits if you can help it.
Remember at such a moment that
although you are in great danger,
there are friends near who will try, if
possible, to come to your assistance.
Do not open doors or windows wildly,
and waste ne precious moments in
standing and screaming for help. In
stead, think if you can Of the straight
est way out, quickly wrap a thick
shawl or blanket around you, covering
your head and your hair, and then
creep on your hands and knees to
the door of the stairway. There is
always air to breathe near the floor.
If you are in the room with others,
and lamp iG upset or some floating
drapery takes fire, recollect that you
must smother the flames by throwing
a rug on them, pulling curtains or
hangings down, and covering them
with a carpet or a quilt, or in some
similar way stop the current of air on
which fire feeds. If a childS apron
catches from the CRATE or stove, wrap
a shawl or blanket about the little
creature promptly, and roll her on the
| floor.
You cannot be too careful with re-
gard to matches, candles and lamps
Those of you whose homes are lighted
with kerosene or other oils should ask
the person who takes care of the lamps
always to fill them in the morning
never doing so after nightfall. A
properly filled lamp is not likely to ex-
plode. Servants should be warned
to be extremely careful in the use Of
kerosene. They should not lie allowed
to pour it upon their kindling wood il
order to light fire quickly. Make il
a rule never to trifie with fire, which
is a great comfort in its proper place
but a dreadful foe when beyond oul
ontrol.-HdTpeT'S Young People.

n0nling Breath Of the bins.

The air of the pine forests is always
grateful to the senses and soothing To
the lungs, and it is not difficult to be-
.ieve that it may exert some direct
curative influence. The idea OF pine
trees exercising a balmy influence is
very ancient one. Pliny considered
that the air of pine forests was more
useful in asthmatic difficulties than
the voyage TO Egypt, recommended IN
such cases, in those days. But beside
merely inha.ing the air of pine forests
people have made use of the pine
in baths-vapor baths and inhalations,
Even this is not entirely modern, for
the ancients recommended theinternal
use of decoctions Of strobili and pine
tops, and thought pine-nuts very use
fui in diseases of the chest and at a
modern time, beside the use OF inter-
nal drinks made from the spruce and
the tar-water so long in vogue, we had
inhalations Of tar and of various
resins.

TEE ICE KING.

Since the d Us of old a geni bold
~ Nffas reigned in the frigid North
: His steture so high he reaches rhe sky,
And shakes the clouds in his WRATH
His body is broad as broad may be,
And he strides alike over land and sea.
When ho sallies forth from his throne in the
North
He IS clad in armor bright,
And his shield and spear and helmet queer
Shine like the stars of night;
And voc to the foe he finds in his path,
For none may resist his terrible wrath.
Wherever he goes before him he throws
A carpetsoft and white,
Md marshy brakes and the rivers and lakes
He bridges in a night;
And he covers the fallen in his train
With q winding sheet of frozen rain.
His breath, like the breath of the tyrant
Death,
Destroys as it passes by;
You may know his path by the marks of his
wrath
On the plain and the mountain high;
He flches the warmth from the noontide
sun,
Nor stops on his way till his work is done.
Then he HES him back DER the self-same
track
TO his throne ON the polar shore,
- he places ban on the efforts of man
so cross his barriers o'er;J
And he brightens his days and illumines his
nights
With the flashing rays of the polar lights.

A Molf,s nisIlka for Music.

It is we'll known that domestic dogs
dislike music, but the hatred of it
seems to be much stronger in wolf.
Dogs become familiar with it, and have
learned to endure it; but to the wolf it
is intolerable. 1t would be well for
those who live in countries infested by
wolves to arm themselves with some
loud-sounding musical instrument, as
the following anecdote would suggest.
A Scotch bagpiper was travelling in
Ireland, when he encountered wolf,
which seemed to be very ravenous.
The poor man could think of no other
way to save his life than to open his
wallet and try the effects of hospitality.
He did so, and the savage beast swal-
lowed all that was thrown to him with
such voracity that it seemed as if his
appetite was not in the least degree
satisfied.
The whole stock Ofprovision was, of
course, soon spent, and now the mans
only resource was in the virtues of his
bagpipe. This the monster no sooner
heard than he took to the mountains as
suddenly as he had left them. The
poor piper did not wholly enjoy his de-
liverance, for, looking sadly at his
empty wallet, he shook his fist at the
departing animal, saying; cay ! are
these your tricks? Had 1 known your
humor, you should have had your music
before your supper. "-Harper's Young
People.

been organized under frochu, Paris
was in state of wil'd alarm and the
Prussian armies were steadily making
their way toward the city, investing
one point after another and RAPIDLY

the besieged city and the surrounding

Some of the Southern railroad COM
panies have gone into the business Of
raising forests, and the results are
likely to be advantageous. 1t has been
discovered that the moisture of the
soil in many parts of the South is very
destructive to the ties, and the creo-
soting process to protect the wood has
proven so expensive that the compa-
MES have determined to use the wood
of the catalpa and ailantus trees.
These woods are said to be more du-
rable in a moist soil than any others
now used, and to secure supply large
plantations have been seeded for both
varieties in equal proportion. Upon
the Iron Mountain roal catalpa ties
have lasted nearly fifteen years. Both
trees are rapid in growth and easy of
propagation, and flourish in the moist
soils of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas.
They, however, are not likely to turn
the prairies into sweet-smelling for
ests.

The Journal deS NilleS gives an ac-
count of a most wonderful and valu-
able process just discovered at Bru-
mons works on the Loire, France.
The Journal says lump of African
ore, weighing thirty-two pounds, was
broken up into small fragments and
placed in a crucible, and as soon as the
ore was at red heat a reacting sub
stance was added, when, in three min
utes, the liquefaction of the ore was
complete. The product obtained is
iron. All those employed in the es.
tablishment, engineers and worGmen,
were stupefed at the result. The act
ing substance above mentioned cost
twenty-five cents per ton. by means
of this process a blast furnace, instead
of producing twenty-five tons Of cast
iron every twelve hours, would turn
out twenty-five tons every fourteen
minutes, besides which the furnace
would be self-cleaned at each oper-
alton. These facts are making quite a
stir in the manufacturing district of
the Loire.

1t is estimated that there are 2O0,-
600 vagabonds and beggars in the
German empire, including thieves,
pickpockets and other swindlers, and
the authorities estimate the annual
loss to honest people by their opera
tions at the enormous sum of $25, ,000,-
600. Many of these evildoers' are
brought before the magistrates from
time to time, but both judges and
juries are accused of administering too
mildly even the mild DAVIS of Germany
against vagabondage. The evil has
become so great that the government is
understood to be preparing a severe
law for bringing scoundrels Of the
vdgabond class to justice.

feiters.
Last week was nearly all consum-
ed in the case against William
Collins, of Richie county. The
case was ably defended and hotly
contested by Messrs. Blair, LOOMS
and Neale for the prisoner, buta
verdict of guilty" was returned BY
the jury on Friday.
The sensation came in this way
Henderson Dotson, of Richie
witness for the Government, came
on the stand on Monday drunk,
for which he was promptly fined
and sent to Jail by His Honor,
Judge Jackson. Subsequently on
the trial he swore that he knew
nothing about the defendants con-
nection with counterfeit coin, &C.,
and was discharged. Returning
home he was overcome by remorse,
and by the advice of friends, came
in on Friday and in open Court
made a full confession of perjury,
alleging as his reasons for swearing
falsely in the case, that he had
been threatened by the defendant
and was in fear and was drunk and
that he was here now to submit to
the mercy of the Court and tell
what he knew in the case.
The District Attorney, Mr. Flick,
now asked that the jury, which
was out, be recalled to hear Dot
sons confession and statement,
This counsel for defendant stoutly
resisted. The Court in ruling held
it to be eminently proper to recall
the jury, but under all the circum-
stances decided not to do so in this
instance.
Upon the return of the verdict,
"guilty," Collins was fined $1,000
and the costs, about 5000, and held
to answer charges of intimidatlng
witnesses upon Dotson's statements
in his confession,
This incident caused by odds the
greatest Court sensation OF the
term.
