meanwhile, there appeared placidly
trundling along the road the Matamo-
rasan equivalent of FIRE engine. a
barrell rolling along the ground. drawn
by reluctant burro.
A swivel pin in each end of the keg
permitted it to roll freely. and ropes
attached IT. to the animal. Behind
walked the fire brigade. a solitary

scene of the confla grafton. the water
in the barrel was poured into buckets
and hauled to the roof of an adjacent
house. whence It was flung on to the
flames.
Everybody was greatly excited. The
calmest thing of all was the fire. which
burned steadily on till there was moth
ing left to consume. Then as the spec
tacle was over the people dispersed.
Every one was satisfied except per-
haps the unfortunate owner OF the
house that had been destroyed.

A COURSE OF DINNERS.

In a little book called "The Econom-
deal Housekeeper," published about the
year 1910, there is given on one page
"A Course of Dinners For a Week" I"
AT the time of its publication the little
book was most popular, as is proved
by the authors preface to the second
revised edition. She says:
Encouraged by the very favorable
reception that our humble labors have
met in the rapid sale of the first edi-
ton of 1900 copies In about fifteen
weeks. and the demand still continu-
ing. we have improved the time by en-
deavoring to make the present edition
more worthy of patronage. If possible,

Therefore it is probable that the
''course of dinners" which follows was
considered admirable at that time:
'Monday-Tea. coffee or cocoa. with
mincemeat. bread and butter in win

Tuesday-Boiled dish. with apple

"Wednesday-R Roasted or baked meat,

"Saturday-Salt Goldfish boiled. with
