GOOD NEWS FOR HUMANITY.
Bricks Soaked in Kerosene Adopted
 as Fuel.

Communicated to Brooklyn Eagle.
 Here is good news for humanity that is not generally known, and should be given to the country at large with all the prominence due It's importance.
 A housewife here is doing her cooking. washing and ironing and heating her home by burning bricks.
 This is how it is done: Two bricks are put into pail of kerosene oil, allowed to soak an hour and then placed in the stove or range and lighted.
 A fine. close-grained brick requires about two hours soaking, and gives a slow fire of moderate head for about three hours.
 The coarser the brick the quicker it soaks, and it gives the hottest fire and burns out quickest.
 A brick. according to its density or porousness, will absorb all the oil it can take up in from one to two hours, and accordingly, will burn two or three hours or longer.
 This housewife the day saw her burn ing bricks, had two in the kitchen range blazing merrily and two more were in soak in a can of oil.
 The bricks lose their absorbing proper- ties and burning properties in proportion to their continued use. It will, therefore, be necessary for housewives to lay in a stock of bricks as well as oil.

NEW NEGRO SCHOOL?
REPORTED 800 ACRES BOUGHT
 FOR THAT PURPOSE.
School Similar to the Lowndes County School, It is Said,
 Will Be Established.

It is authoritatively stated that party of Northern men have about consummat- ed a deal by which they will come lnto the possession of 800 acres of rich farm- ing land of Montgomery County.
 The land is to be used as the site for an agricultural and industrial school for negroes. The school, it is said, will be similar in nature and scope to ths large negro school located at Calhoun in Lowndes County. The school is to be es- tablished for young negroes from tho country to instruct them in farming and industrial training.
 The land in question is near the Bald win plantation, seven miles south of Pike Road.
 The names of the Northern men who are behind the educational enterprise were not learned nor has the name of the agent who conducted the purchase been made public. When the deal is finally consummated it is said that full am nouncement of the plans and purposes of the school will be made.
