His Tapping wings sent the lantern fly
ing. 1t fell with a crash and broke,
and the oil and flaming wick rolled in
pile of straw. In an instant the big
barn was ablaZe.
Mr.. Washington saw he could not
quench the flames, 80 he turned his
attention to releasing his cows and
horses and succeeded in saving them
all, together with a carriage which
stood near the open door, but the other
contents of the barn were destroyed.
The building which was 30x122 feet,
contained so tons of hay ,all his farm
ing implements and wagons harness,
cts, besides a large number of ducks
and chickens. Mr.. Washington's large
summer boarding house would also
have been destroyed but for the wind,
which blew in the opposite direction.

OFFICIAL CUP or COFFEE.
Proper Method Of Brewing the Bev-
cage to Be Determined in y
Washington.

! BY direction Of the secretary Of agri-
culture the bureau Of plant industry ID to
take up ct once experiments to deter
mine the best manner in which to brew q
cup Of coffee: To this end, says = Wash
ington report, r. L. Lewton, specially
trained expert, has been engaged. The
view Of tho department ID that 1 cup Of
coffee - good because Of the manner in
which it . brewed, rather than from the
quality of the bean from which tho bev-
GRACE 10 made. 1t will be appreciated by
al persons acquainted with the art and
mystery Of eofee-making that various con-
ditions, apparently trivial in Themselves,
have to be taken into consideration in
producing the beverage.
For instance, IN the process of roasting
the beans may b more or less damaged
by being under or over done, and The
favor Of the coffee thus impaired to Z
corresponding degree. Hence the necessity
tor ideal conditions in roasting. Again, tho
effects Of water at various temperatures
upon the ground coffee and the proper
period for infusion viii, for the int
time In the history of coffee-mahnr, b
thoroughly and accurately ascertained.
Tho retention of caffeine, the active
principle Of coffee, to which it owes it,
stimulating effects, and the elimination Of
the cafeotannic and caffeic acids, which
are not only injurious to health, but COM
municate an unpleasant, bitter taste to
the beverage, will be. Of course, the prin-
cipal objects, =

MURMURS FROM GROUND.
Strange Sounds Heard for Many Gen.
turies on tho Red Sea
BorderA

A singular phenomenon occurs On tho
borders Of the Red sea TO . place called
Nakoua, where intermittent underground
sounds have been heard for an unknown
number Of centuries. It u situated about
half \ mile distant from the shore,
whence = long reach Of sand ascendssftfppiG
idly to height Of 300 fest. This reach il
shout 500 feet wide and resembles an am
phitheater, being walled by low rocks.
The sounds coming up from the ground
1t this place recm 1t intervals Of about
IN hour. They at first resemble 4 low
mu1mur, but ere long there ie heard =
loud knocking, somewhat like the strokes
Of . bell and which at the end of about
five minutes becomes 10 strong as to agi-
tate the sand. The explanation Of this
curious phenomenon given by the Arabs
IL that there Il convent under the
ground here and that these monks ring
for prayers. So they call it Nakous,
which means = be11.
The Arabs affirm that the noise 10
rightens their eamels when they hear It
~ to render them furious. Philosopher
attribute the sound to suppressed volcanic
action-probably to the bubbling of eas
or vapor underground.

HINTS ABOUT THE HEATER
Before Firing Up for the Winter the
Furnace or Stove Should
Be. Put in Order.

Spring is always the best time for
cleaning out the furnace, but if it was
not attended to then it must be done
now. In the city regular furnace
man can always be found to do this
work. 1t is, however, wise to inspect
his work before he leaves, because he
is likely to neglect the smoke pipe,
the most important part of the furnace,
says the Boston Budget Strike the
pipe with a poker to test its condi-
ton, and the hollow sound or dull thud
will tell you whether or not it is
choked with SCOT. Always examine the
cold-air box before starting the win
ter fire, for stray rat or mouse is
sometimes found here and meets it's
death. In the country sometimes a.
chicken will get caught in the cold-air
box
The folly of having the cold-air box
open into the cellar, basement or any
part OF the house cannot be too strong
ly dwelt upon. Only the purest of
outdoor air should be utilized, and the
cold-air box should be built as far as
possible from any drain or cesspool.
1t Is said that, where one lives in a
dusty, smoky city, if piece of cheese
cloth is fitted over the opening of the
cold-air box, it will prevent all parti-
cles of dust from being drawn up
through the pipes.
Once in about eight years the Chin
ney with which the heater is connected
ought to be cleaned out. If the same
chimney is used for the kitchen range
it ought to be cleaned every five years.
1t is not possible to give any exact
time, however, because there is great
difference in chimneys. If it does not
draw we'll and has not been cleaned re-
Gently it is well to inspect it.
