Combustibility of sawdust.


Among the results brought to light,
through modern chemical investigation
of the sources and causes of spontane-
GUS combustion, attention has recently
been specially called to the fact that
sawdust should never be used to collect
drippings or 1ealsages. 1t is said that
dry vegetable or animal oil is found to
inevitably take fire when saturating
cotton waste at $50 deg. F., and sponta-
neous combustion occurs more quickly
when the cotton is soaked with it's own
weight of oil. Danger is involved in
patent ''driers," fromleakage into saw
dust, ETC.; in oily waste, too, of any
kind, or waste cloths of silk or cotton,
saturated with oil, varnish or turpen-
tine; also in linseed oil drippings into
a sponge; glycerine or oil Of any kind
leaking into sawdust; bituminous coal
in large heaps of pit coal, hastened by
wet, and especially when pyrites are
present in the coal-the larger the
greater the liability. Oil on flour, or
water on flour, is productive of sponta-
neous combustion. In fact, all organic
structures, being largely composed OF
carbon and hydrogen, are readily ex.
cited, because of the affinity of the
hydrogen for oxygen.-N. Y. Sun.

An Indians Rise In Life.

When the prince of Wales opened the
bridge at Montreal, in 1861, q young
Mohawk Indian, who had knowledge
of English, was selected to read an ad-
dress setting forth the loyalty Of his
people to the great White Queen. On
the recommendation of Sir Henry Ac
land, the prince gave him an invitation
to Oxford university, where he exhib-
tied high powers. both mental and ath-
letic. Practicing as physician in Can
ada, he studied the question of assur-
ance as connected with friendly socie-
ties, and came to the conclusion that it
could be safely carried out at half the
usual premiums. This deduction is
said to have been verified in the Inde-
pendent Order of Foresters of Canada,
and the system having been introduced
into England, DR.. Oronhyatekha, at
the Memorial hall, yesterday, insti-
tuted the high court of England and
the high court of London, to rule the
many subordinate courts already
formed here, and explained the merits
of his plan..-London Telegraph.

EVERYDAY Etiquette.
Formally to be Observed Between Hus

Formally to be Observed Between Hus-
band and Wife.
Husbands and wives in speaking of
each other to friends and acquaintances
should observe a certain formality.
Vulgarity touches bottom when the
personal pronoun che" or ''she" is used
without the name for which these
stand, and this usage, to be sure, being
confined to out-of-the-way and primi-
tive portions of the country, is never
general enough to be worth noticing.
You will hear the sun-bonneted woman
with the straight skirt reaching to her
stout calf-skin shoes and the marks of
lifelong toll and exposure in her har-
partner as ''he," or as ''Tim," never as
my husband" or as "Mr. Smith,
But in more refined circles, where
people know and observe the require
ments of etiquette, woman does not
use her husbands Christian name,
much less any abbreviation of
it, outside the narrow confines

the person who is economical of nouns

SAVINGS BANKS in THE HOME

Mr.. and Mrs. Porter and Their Experience
with Hoarding Up Their Money.
Mrs. Porter is not a strong woman;
she has nerves and also has tendency
to semi-fainting spells, when she be-
comes helpless and often thinks she is
going to die. Mr.. Porter works all
night, and often seven nights week,
SO his better half is often lonely in
their north side fiat. They expectcom
pany this summer, and are preparing
to entertain people as well as man on
a salary can do it. So Mrs. Porter is
saving money, or rather she was doing
1T, all unknown to her husband, to
whom his salary seems inadequate to
meet the demands of the season.
One night lately Mrs. Porter retired
after a busy day, and as she had thor
oughly tired herself could not sleep at
once, and was seized with severe pains.
She was almost fainting, and became
convinced that she would die. How it
disturbed her to think of dying alone;
but more than that was the thought of
her little hoard, hidden in a corner
where no one would think of looking
for 1t. She saw his homecoming in
that darkest hour before the dawn; his
sorrow at her death; the sending of the
news to his friends; and finally the
hustling about to borrow money enough
to bury her properly, while all the time
there was more than one hundred dol
lars in that corner beneath the carpet.
So she suffered, and then the pain
grew less and she slept, to be awakened
later by her husbands entrance.
She told him of the suffering which
had not yet passed, and then he brought
remedies and she grew better and
brighter. Finally she told the story of
how she had saved and her fear that
she would die and he would have nc
money. Before she would sleep again
she bade him turn down the carpet and
take out her little hoard.
Then, with a peculiar smile, her hus-
band walked right over her hiding
place into a closet, took down a dis
carded vest, drew from its pocket a roll
which developed into over fifty dollars.
Then both laughed, and she felt better
and slept we'll.
There is bank book in Porter's
pocket now and it shows nearly two
hundred dollars on deposit. He is not
as much afraid of the bank bursting as
he is of the hiding-place proving inse-
eure.-Chicag go Tribune.

THE COST OF REVOLUTION.
Flow New York Suffered In the War foa
Independence.

E20W New York Suffered In the War 1o1
Independence.
New York suffered greater hardshipa
during the fight for independence than
fell to the lot Of any other American
city. 1t lost more than half of its pop.
ulation; it lost the whole of it's com.
merce, the great fire of 1776, followed
by the fire of IT'S, laid full fourth OF
it in ashes; it was occupied by the
enemy uninterruptedly from almost
the beginning Of hostilities until after
peace was declared.
Until the actual outbreak of hostili.
ties, the prosperous expansion of trade
and the growth Of the city continued
without interruptions; and then, as
suddenly as the coming of the tropical
night-with the arrival of the British
army of occupation, September Is, 1776
"a blight settled over everything
and was not lifted for more than
seven years. Only four days after
Gen. Howe's entry came the calamity
of the great fire, which swept over the
region between Whitehall and Broad
streets as far north as Beaver; thence,
sparing the western side of Bowling
Green, over both sides of Broadway to
and including Trinity church; and
thence. sparing the western side OF
Broadway but burning down to the
river, to and including the southern
side of Vesey street-leaving behind it
q broad furrow of desolation three
quarters of mile long. Two years
'ater, another fire reduced to wreck al
most the whole of the block south OF
Pearl street between Coenties and Old
slips. Through all the dreary time
of English occupation these many
blocks of ruins remained as the fire had
left them. No reason existed for re.
building, and, no matter how strong a
reason there might have been, no money
for rebuilding was obtainable. This
visible material wreck fittingly repre-
sented the wreck which had overtaken
the city's most vital interests. Trade
with the interior and coastwise practi-
cally was cut off; and, with the destruc-
ton of these. it's natural feeders, the
foreign commerce of the port was dead.
When New York was evacuated by
the British troops, November Is, 1888,
the condition of the city was miserable
to the last degree. Streets which had
been opened and partly grad ed before
the war began had been suffered to
lapse again to idle wastes; the wharves,
to which for SO long awhile no ships
had come, had crumbled through neg
lect; public and private buildings,
taken possession of by the military and
used as barracks, as hospitals and as
prisons, had fallen into semi-ruin;
along all the western side of the town
was the wreck left by the fire. In this
dismal period the population had
dwindled from upwards of twenty
thousand to less than ten thousand
souls; the revenues of the city, long
uncollected, had shrunk almost to the
vanishing-point; the machinery of civil
government had been practically de-
stroyed. In word, without the con-
soling glory of having suffered in hon
orable battle, the city was left wreck
by war.-Thomas A.Janvier, in Harper's
Magazine.
