that newspapers, though some people
do not seem to think SO, are always paid

scriber doesn't do it the proprietor has to
do 1t. Tho paper and ink manufactur-
err and printers will not wait year, or
perhaps half a dozen years expire, be
fore they get their pay. The sub

Ho,o to Prevent Fires.-The follow
ing simple precautions if strictly fol-
lowed would prevent a great many
destructive fires. The rules might be
= posted in every store, dwelling and
factory with good result:
The leading causes of fires are kero-
sene oil matches and furnaces.
l. Always buy the best qualities of
oil.
2. Never make a sudden motion with
a lamp either in lifting or setting
down.
3. Never place lamp on the edge
of a table or mantle.
4. Never fill lamp after dark, even
if you should have to go without a
light.
S. See that the lamp wicks are al
ways clean and that they work freely
in the tube.
6. Never blow out lamp from the
top.
7. Never take lamp to q closet
where there clothes. If necessary to
90 to a closet, place the light at dis
lance.
8. Use candles as much as possible
in going about the house and in bed
rooms. They are cheaper. can't ex-
plode, and for very many purposes are
just as good as lamps.
9. Matches. should be kept in earthen
jars or tin boxes.
