Put Out Oil Fires With Flour.

A correspondent, writing from Port
land, Me-, says: An old lady put in a
claim for loss three years ago, and
explained that as she emerged from
the pantry with pan of flour the
lalmp expoded, throwing burning oil
over the floor. The frightened woman
instinctively threw the flour upon the
flames, which instantly eXtinguished
it. One of our clerks made u note
of this in a corner of his memory. One
night, recently, just as he reached
home, his wife rushed out Of the door
shouting Fire The ceiling lamp
hook had give way and the lamp was
on the floor and the oil aflame. He
ran to the flour bin and returned with
a scoopsul offlour and quickly put out
the fire. 4 third instance of later occur
renee, was an oil fire, which was only
checked by smothering it with car
pets, and did not die out until flour
had been thrown on it. Local agents
should request their home papers to
print the surprising fact that flour
easily extinguishes kerosene oil fire.

The Colonel was in Luck.

Colonel J. r. Jones was fishing on
the banks of Redfoot creek, Tenn,
having left his boat to escape the hot
sun, and had hardly thrown his line
out into the water, when he saw
dark object rapidly approaching the
surface. At first the genial colonel
thought it an alligator Of unusual
size, but on closer observation discov-
cred it to be an enormous creeping
serpent.
When this huge monster was WITHIN
a few yards of him Colonel Jones
gathered some stones about the size
of goose eggs and struck it several
times in succession, and strange TO
saw. the blows did not appear to
worry his snakeship to any great
degree, as it never once left the sur
face of the water, Tut continued I'M
concernedly at a slow pace up stream.
Colonel Jones Immediately seized
his rod and line and scampered hastily
to his boat. 1t was only question
of a few minutes before he was In
midwater and in hot pursuit OF the
object. which was soon overtaken.
When within close proximity he no
ticed the huge reptile seemed TO be
blind and apparently harmless.
Fearinga an attack, however, Colonel
Jones seized his rifle and taking aim
at his head fired. The bullet lodged
in the collar-bone and broke its neck.
There was slight movement of the
tail. little slashing of water, and all
was over. the monster floating down
stream.
Curious to learn the species OF this
peculiar reptile. Colonel Jones made
lasso from a stout rope which he
had in the boat and threw it around
its body, thus enabling him to tow it
ashore.
4 critical examination developed
the fact that he had captured mon
ster snake never before seen i'll this
part Of the country. 1t had head
resembling long, funneI-shaped
horn. the body being similar TO small
kegs Joined together. What made it
more queer each keg seemed to have
a bunghole or outlet, some Of the
queer knots being on the sides and
some on the top. Hauling the tail on
the bank, which was by no means an
easy task, he opened one of the knots
with jack knife, and found it to be
full of clear, purified oil.
At this juncture Major Sam Hill, an
old sportsman, who has hunted all
over the world, came up, and fran
tically gesticulating, he exclaimed:
Good God, John, your fortune is
made
Further, he said it was a porpoise
snake, and Il rare specimen to be
found thus far north. The oil in the
kegs has since been found to be pure,
unadulterated porpoise oil. Twelve
forty-gallon barrels were filled. The
oil has been shipped to Pittsburg and
will realize handsome fund for Col
onel Jones.
BY way of explanation, it should be
said TO the incredulous that this is a
species of the snake family which OBJ
tains oil by plunging its sharp head
into the side of a porpoise and drain
ing every drop of oil from its body.
The snake was 43 feet long, and
Colonel Jones has the kegs and bunss
i'm his possession.

Gathered Treasures.
Time is the chrysais of eternity.

Time is the chrysais of eternity.
Character is higher than intellect.
Joy softens more hearts than tears.
Do the truth you know, and you
shall learn the truth youneed to know.
The surest way TO please is to for
get ones self, and think only Of
others.
The end of our life is God, the rule
of our life duty, the obstacles, our
bad passions.
The soul is Il soil which requires to
be dug and stirred deeply, otherwise
nothing will grow in it but weeds.
The chains of habit are generally
too small to be felt till they are too
strong to be broken.
All our actions take their hues from
the complexion of the heart, as land
scapps their variety from light.
The brightest lightning comes from
the blacklist clouds, and the puresJ
faith from .he severest trials.
God be thanked for books They
are the voices of the distant and the
dead, and make us heirs of the spirit
ual life of past ages.
You will find the mere resolve not
to be useless. and the honest desire to
help other people, will in the quickest
and most delicate ways improve
yourself.
If we are ever in doubt what to do,
it is a good rule toask ourselves what
we shall wish on the morrow that we
had done.
The golden beams of truth and the
silken cords Of love, twisted together,
will draw men on with a sweet vio-
lence. whether they will or not.
