ADVICE ON
GAS MATTE RS.

If your light is poor there is
something locally wrong, as your
gas is the same as is supplied to any
other customer.
If your burners spread the light
like the fingers of a hand, they
should be cleaned out Or replaced;
cleaners furnished without charge.
If you have old-fashioned shades
with small openings at the SCStom
you should change them a5 once to
get best results from your gas.
If yoor Walsbach lights are not
as good as they were formerly, they
probably need new mantles or other
attention.
If your stoves do not give out
heat as formerly, the openings may
want cleaning out.
Architects should plan for lib
eral-sized gas pipes in all houses,
even if other illumination is contem-
plated.
Large gas pipes should be put in
all houses, because gas is used in
more rooms than was formerly the
custom, and because heating and
cooking stoves are largely used now
and are mostly placed at the far
thest distance from the meter and
need full flow Of gas.
Builders and owners of new
houses should see that gas pipes are
put in every house, because pur-
thasers or renters will expect to
have the advantage of competition
in illumination, even if they do not
want to use gas at present.
Houses will sell better or rent
better if they have gas pipes in
them.
Gas consumers should watch their
own meters so rs to be satisfied with
their bills; meters are so simple that
any intelligent person can read them
and thus know the cost Of their gas
as time passes.
Housekeepers should admit no one
to their houses on the pretense of
being sent from the Gas Office un-
less the applicant is personally
known or can slow the silver badge
and the lettered cap of company.
All houses should have an outside
light burning all night to illuminate
their side and back buildings, aud
should also keep some lights burn
ing all night in rooms and halls to
keep off burglars it is far better to
use IA few thousand extra feet Of gas
each year than to have the house
robbed once.
Dollar gas makes the cheapest,
best and safest light, and the most
convenient fuel yet produced.
Now is the time to order Cooking
Ranges for summer; ample hot
water for family bathing can be
supple with them, while the tenn
perature Of the kitchen is bearable
and the remainder of the house left
cool and comfortable.
For further advice or information
apply at Gas Office, S27 Market
street, where Sample Lights, Stove:
and Ranges can be seen.

Death From an Injury.

J. b. Heir, living east of the citv on Main

cost him his life. He had hitched up his
team, one OF them colt. and started for
his wood lot to draw a load of wood, when
the horses became frightened and ran away.
After running short distance one of the
wheels OF the wagon struck tree and Mr..
Heir was thrown number of feet into the
air, the fall breaking several ribs, one of
his wrists, injuring his lungs and otherwise
badly bruising him. Dr. Mccormick was
at once summoned and did everything pos
sible for him, but to no avail. except TO
alleviate his sufferings. He died yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Heir was one of the old and highly
respected citizens of the county, having re-
sided for many years in Mddlebury, prevl-
GUS to moving to the present family resi-
dence. His age was II years. A wife and
several children will mourn his death.

Hugh School and University.

In answer to some inquiries concerning
the relations between high school and Uni
versty at Ann Arbor. we will say that a
committee from the University visited og
high school in May, 1896, with the result
that we We're continued upon the list of di-
ploma schools for 1896, 1897, and 1898.
In the recently issued University calendar
for 1896 81, on page 80, can be found the
statement concerning the Owosso high
school. 1t will also be noticed that of the
1j2 diploma Schools all relations as made
at present, expire on or before 1898, EX-
aminatious are usually held at intervals of
three years.
Upon entering the University, in addition
TO the diploma, applicants from all diploma
schools must present certificate from SUI
perintendent or principal, stating that they
have sustained their examinations IN all
studies and are recommended for admission
to the Uniyers ty. This is required of all
schools and can be found on page 40 of the
calendar of the University. Our diplomas
admit to all courses except the classical,
that requiring Greek in preparation, which
is not taught here.
The University last year made new de-
parture by announcing that thereafter no
more graduates from any high school Eng
lish coarse would be received on diploma,
as they had decided to require four years of
pre- paratorv Latin, or two years of Latin
and two years of either German or French
Our high school furnishes that amount of
preparatory language in either its Scientific
or Latin courses. On page 80 of the Uni
versity calendar, it says that accredited
graduates of tie English course may be adj
mitted AS special students with the right of
making up the additional requirements in
language. In a re cent letter from President
Angel, he states that as number of schools
did not receive the notice of change in re-
quiremeuts in proper time, the University
will continue to admit graduates from the
English course, during the fall of 1897.
