What to do in Case of Fire.

The following statements were made
by 7. p. Tuite, expert on fire proven
ton and extinguishmcnt, in lecture
given to large audience ut public
school No. 154 ON st. AIMS avenue.
The lecture was also an object lesson.
With copy of a newspaper Mr.. Tuite
instantly smothered the flames of gas
oline-drenched rags, and with a fire
alarm box he illustrated The manner
of sending an alarm.
"When you have rung the alarm
he said "don't go away. Stay right
there till the firemen come. They'll
be there in less than two minutes
when you can direct them to the
exact location of the fire. There is one
great principle you should remember
no air, no fire. II there is small
blaze take anything handy bed-quilt
or table cover and SIN other it. Stop
draughts; keep the doors and windows
shut. We will suppose that you are
tardy in awakening; that when you
try to escape from your room you are
met by wall of fame in the hall.
This is what you must do in such a
case: Close the door of your room in
stantly. Raise a window and shout
until you know you are located. In
the meantime you have lighted the
gas. Now watch for tongues OF flame
around the edges of the door. Drive
them back with II wet towel. You
won't have to wait long for rescue
After while the glass of the transom
will break and the smoke will pour in.
With the window closed, however, the
flames will meet with small encour-
agement. Presently the smoke will
begin to cause you great Inconvenience
You are in danger OF su location. Now
is the slime for yon to play your last
card-but it is a good one-and in all
likelihood will save you.
CLOVER the top sash of your window
two or three inches and also the bot
tom one Get down c'ose to the low
e. opening andyou will have plenty
OF fresh air. The stream of fresh air
will lrush upward and with the draught
at the top of the window you are safe
until the firemen come to your rescue.
| do not know of fire in New York
City where such course would not
have saved everyone. You can in this
way manage to exist until firemen ar
rive and after that no cool-headed per-
son is ever lost.

A SlovenIy Home.

Who is there that has not experien-
ced feeling of revulsion on entering
a home where everything was in state
of confusion of uncleanliness, sloven-
ly? Home is a sweet word to every one
and place eagerly sought even by the
animal portion Of creation. The higher
animal, Man, turns from labor and
pleasure to that one place ofall others,
seeking forrest and respite, sympathy,
love, easement from the wearing fric-
tions OF shop, store, Office and field,
for renewed strength for the efforts of
the morrow. o. how disappointing to
find in the place of this that all is chaos
and unrest-slovenlyness. Most people
love neatness in the home, the COM
Portable chair. the restful lounge, the
smile, the song; strains breathing az
fections of the past, bringing sweet
memories OF bygone days, They love
the neatly spread meal, humble and
plain, though it be.but when the gaze
is confronted with dirty, unkempt
house and family, the spirit revolts
and the impulse is to turn away from
il all to associations where the sur
roundings are more pleasant.

AT Wallace, Idaho, yesterday in the
removal cases Judge Stewart scored
the sheriff and commissioners of
Shoshone comfy finding that the COM
missioners were guilty of wilful mis-
conduct in allowing bills to the sheriff
in excess OF lawful fees, in allowing
percentage for collecting license mon
ey, in issuing saloon licenses without
applicat;o on or bonds, in approving the
bonds OF county officers without suffi-
Gent sureties, and in failing to take
action when notified OF the probable
destruction OF property at Wardner.
For these he held them guilty of neg
lect sufficient to justify removal. In
tn, case of sheriff, he said "the def
endant, by his own testimony, has
convicted himself OF the most fragrant
violations of official duty" The de-
Tense gave notice of appeal.

SCOTLAND is preparing to have a
mighty waterfall that will surpass
Niagara several times in point of
height, 1t is proposed to construct
q canal that will divert the water of
the Highland lake district, including
Lakes Ericht and Rannoch, to Bally-
hulich, where it will plunge over a
precipice of thousand feet into Loeb
Linnhe. 1t is said that the water
power thus obtained will be sufficient
to supply all Scotland with electricity.

THE Nicaraguan canal seems at last
a certainty. That it will be begun,
and that within few years at most
is an assured fact. The salient features
OF the report of the government Com
mission, now in the Presidents hands
are given in the current issue of Har-
per's Weekly, together with three
pages OF illustrations. From one Of
them-a bird's-eye view of Nicaragua
AN admirable clear conception of
the proposed routes may be derived.
OF these routes there are two; that
upon which the Maritime Canal Com
pany of Nicaragua has already begun
work, and that proposed by the Unit
ed States Government Commission.
Admiral Walker, caief of the commits
sion, estimates the cost OF the canal
at $11S, ll3, 100. This is interesting
when it is rem ,mbered that the Child's
survey, made nearly fifty years ago,
set the cost at only $4,000 600 That
the expense involved will not in the
least defer the completion of the can
al is shown by the fact that Congress
has authorized the expenditure OF
81 100000 by new commission to in
vestigate the Panama as well as the
Nicaraguan route, and to develop gen
orally plan for an isthmian canal.
