Albert Ferris and Iaiy, on Foster

half. dozen extra COW boys on hand to
lend enchsntment to the view. The
supper was excellent snd dancing was
kept up until 10 o'clock next day,
when both musicians mutually agreed
10 quit playing and no amount Of
bribery or persuasion could induce
them to play another note.
A merry Christmas, Albert and
family, with a happy New Year en-.
twined, is the unanimous wish of this
neigbborhood. May you soon give

Alaska Garnets.

1t will be of interest to persons who
are fond of collecting mineral specimens
to learn says the YOUTHS Companion, that
garnets, of fine size and good color, are
found at Fort Wrangel, Alaska, and that
specimens can be obtained by mail from
that place at very moderate expense.
These Fort Wrangel garnets occur in
a tough, gray slate near the mouth of the
Stickeen River, a few miles distant from
the Indian village at Wrangel postoffice.
They vary in size from pea to hens
egg, and with care, can be separated
from the slate matrix, in which they lie
like plums in pudding, unbroken and
showing their peculiar polyhedral form
of crystalization quite perfect. Many Of
these garnets display very considerable
depth of rich color, approaching the
ruby, and are hence of some value as
precious stones. In quantity they ap-
pear to be inexhaustible At the village
store the writer procured half dozen Of
good size, embedded in fragment of
the slate in which they occur, along
with dozen detached ones of medium
size, though not all quite perfect, for the
small sum of sixty cents.

How to Act at n Fire.

In lecture before the Society of Arts,
London, MIR. A. W. G. Ghean gave the
following concise and simple directions
how to act on the occurrence of fires
Fire requires air; therefore, on its APP
pearance every effort should be made to
exclude air; shut all doors and windows.
By this means fire may be confined to
a single room for sufficient period to
enable all the inmates to be aroused and
escape; but if the doors and windows
are thrown open, the tanning of the wind
and the draft will instantly cause the
flames to increase with extraordinary
rapidity. It must never be forgotten
that the most precious moments are at
the commencement of fire, and not q
single second should be lost in tackling
it. In room table cloth can be so
used as to smother large sheet of flame,
and cushion may serve to beat it out a
coat or anything similar may be used
with an equal successful result.
The great point is presence of mind,
calmness in danger, action guided by
reason and thought. In all large houses
buckets of water should be placed on
every landing, little salt being put in
to the water. Always endeavor to at
tack the bed of fire; if you cannot ex-
tinguish fire shut the door when you
make good your retreat. A wet silk
handkerchief tied over the eyes and
nose will make breathing possible in the
midst of much smoke, and blanket
wetted and wrapped around the body
will apahle q person Tn p9ss thr0uUh a

Horsemanship Of Mexican Youngsters.

One of the finest and most inspiritina
sights of small.town life in Mexico is the
horsemanship of the boys from eight to
