How to Prevent Fires.

The following simple precautions
suggested by the New York Inde'
pendent, if strictly followed, would
prevent a great many destructive
fires. The rules might be posted IN
every store, dwelling and factory
with good results.
The leading causes OF fires are
kerc- enc oil, matches and furnaces.
1. Always buy the best quality OF
oil.
2. Never make a sudden motion
with a lamp, either in lifting 1t or in
setting it down
3. Meyer place a lamp OF the edge
of a table or mantel.
4. Never fill a lamp after dark.
even if you should have to 20 with
out a light.
5. See that the lamp wicks are
always clean, and that they work
freely in the tube.
6. Never blow out a lamp from the
top.
Z. Never take a light to a closet
where there are clothes. If necessa-
nv to go the closet, place the light at
a distance.
s. Use candles just al much as
possible in going about the house,
and in bedrooms. They are cheap
er, can't explode, and for many pur-
poses are just as good as lamps.
8. Matches should always be kept
in earthen jars or III tin.
10. They should never be left
where rats or mice car get hold of
them. There is nothing more TO the
taste Of a rat than PHOSPHORUS.
They will eat it if they can get at 1t.
A bunch ofmatches is almost certain
to be set on fire if rat gets at it.
IL. Have good safes in every place
where matches are to be used, and
never let a match be left On the
floor.
II. Never let a match go out OF
your hand after lighting it until you
are sure the fire is out, and then IL Is
better to put it in a stove OIL an
earthen dish.
13. 1t is far better TO use the safe
ty matches, which can only be light
ed on the box which contains
them.
IA. Have your furnaces examined
carefully in the fail, and at least
once during the winter, by a compt-
tent person. Allthe pipes and flues
should be carefully looked to.
10. If there are any closets III the
house near chimneys or hues, which
there ought not to be, put nothing
of a combustible nature into them.
16. Never leave any wood near a
furnace, range or stove to dry:
II. Have your stove looked to
frequently, to see that there are DO
holes for Goals to drop out.
IS. Never put any Gals o. hoi
ashes into a wooden receptacle.
10. Be sure that there are no cur
tains or shakes lhat can be blUwn
into a gas light
20. Never examine a gas metre
after dark.
Fires, of course. arise from other
causes than those We have stated
Smokers burn up much valuable
property which is not in the shape
of cigars. Bunches of oiled Tags. o
the most inanimate nature in them
selves, still perform the most won

property. Tramps. with their old
pipes, will creep into barns and nay
mows, and servants will he careless
in thousands of ways. but If every
person who owns property will give
the subject attention, aud see that
those around him are posted, and
see that reasonable rules are always
obeyed, many thousands of dollars
could be saved annually which are
now burned opt of existence.

Again the Monitor came upon
the Mernmac's quarter, her bow ac-

at thi. distance fired twice. Both
shots struck about half way up the
Merrimac's armor, abreast of the af-
ter pivot, an6 so severe was the blow
that the side was forced in several
inches. The crew of the after guns
were knocked over by the concus-
sion, bleeding from the nose and

ing it useless to try his broadsides

Then follows the story of the Mon
itor renewing the attack on the Mer-

run down the foe: the erratic move

helpless, and the final withdrawal of
the Merrimac to Norfolk.
