Self-help In Case OF Fire,

AS a house is never ATTACKED by fire
at the top and bottom at once, if
there is q sale and ready exit at both
top and bottom very little danger to
life is to be feared. It is important
that ALL eAiss should beso known as
tol be easily found, by day or night,
by every inmate Of the house. If the
clothes you have on catch fire, a.
blanket, rug, or some such woollenar-
ticle should be quickly and tightly
wrapped round you. Air is thus ex-
cluded, and the fire goes out. a
small fire in q room can often be put
out in the same way, in preference to
pouring water on it. In case Of fire,
keep all doors shut as far as possible
If a room is full Of smoke, keep low q
crawl, because smoke and hot il
both rise, leaving the floor comps q
lively clear.

Strength of Hands in the Two
Sexes.

To determine how the average
strength of the hands of men and
women compares, French ingenuity
some time ago devised special in
strument, on which the palm OF the
hand is placed, and the greatest down
ward pressure which the individual
can give it is exercised upon it, the
force thus produced being recorded by
clockwork mechanism. In test in
Guiding some fifty robust men and
the same number of healthy women,
both belonging to the middle class ofso-
ciety. with ages varying from twenty
five to forty-fve years, the strongest
man OF the company was able to pro
duce with his right hand pressure
equivalent to eighty five Kilograms,
or about one hundred and seventy
five pounds, and the weakest to forty
Kilograms, the average being fifty
The force OF the strongest woman OF.
the fifty who were selected amounted
to only forty-four kilogram, and that
of the weakest to sixteen, while the.
average was thirty-three Kilograms.

Those Helpless Little Women.


"Don't you worry about the little
woman! Just analyze her a. bit be-
fore you waste any great amount of
sympathy upon her. That baby
mouth wasn't made in vain. Ever
see one OF those little women stand
up in street car, or carry her own
parcels home, or get in or out of a
carriage without having half a dozen
men run to assist her? And all lust
because she is little woman, and has
that helpless, imploring look, as if
she couldn't stand the least bit of
trouble in the world. And every man
she meets feels sorry for her, and is
ready to extend his sympathy and
assistance. I've watched her-Pve
made a, study OF her tricks and her
ways. She just looks at man out OF
those appealing eyes, and he would
walk over red-hot plowshares to as
sist her. When I am born aga.n I
want to be one of those meek, help
less, sorrowful-eyed little women, and
be helped to all OF the good things of
life because look so small, and sweet
and helpless. Little woman! Little
humbug. st. Louis Republic.

An English Pastime Which Nav

"Caravaning," like "houseboating,"
is a recreation indigenous to the
English soil. A caravan is a sort Of
houseboat on wheels, a. fashionable
and moderized gypsy cabin, or an i'm.
proved photographers car. It is
drawn by horses, and develops a
speed something between a canal
boat and an express train, according
TO the number and going qualities of
the steeds before it. It is not dis
lance, however, but time that a car
AVIAN is looked to to annihilate. so
the matter of speed is secondary.
The vehicle, is filled with a. carefully.
selected company of picnickers,
rambles along a lovely country road

sometimes longer.

but not live; that you must do out Of
doors: Ii it should rain you may ex-
lst within it's shelter, if you can, till
the sun shines again. When every-
body is tired of the sweet retreat
and one of the thorns of caravaning
Is that there is a chance of your get

Breathing OF Insects,

Insects generally breathe through
special pores in varions parts OF their
body, and if these pores are closed by
oil they are suffocated. Anyone may
test this by dropping sweet oil on the
thorax or back Of a wasp; livery soon
dies. For this reason oil has been
found one OF the best things to use for
the destruction Of insects.
