of Gladstone in his ''Recouections:"
"NIr. Gladstone was very much in
terested in the Caucasus. had a
friend. Captain X, who had recently
come home from that district, and

FIRE RISKS ON FARMS.
Safety First Should Be as Much the
Rule There as Elsewhere.

Rule mere as ELSEWHERE.
A contributor to Farm and Fireside
shows how appalling fire risks, are on
farms. He tells how to reduce some
of these fire risks and writes in part
as follows:
'The inveterate smoker is about as
dangerous as a walking stick of dyna-
mite. 1t makes me shudder to see a
man smoking around the farm build
ings. One man know never will for
get the way he was run off the farm
when l caught him smoking a ciga-
rette while stacking hay.
Another dangerous practice Of which
the average man is guilty is that Of
carrying ordinary matches loose in his
pockets. He should carry either safe
ty matches or keep the ordinary kind
in a metal box.
"On most farms the lantern is still
the usual light for working about the
buildings after dark. A good way to
keep it clean and safe is, first, to take
out the burners and clean them by
boiling in strong soapsuds. This will
keep the ventilating passages of the
burner working properly. Then wipe
all leaking or spilled oil off the base.
Never set a lantern down. Either
hold it or hang it up. Then when it is
accidentally struck it will swing in
sfnad of 11nSettinp"

Leather Medals.

Leather medals were originally con-
ferred as a genuine mark Of honor.
When King John Of France, captured
at Agincourt, was forced to pay to Ed
ward Ill of England a ransom Of
100000 gold crowns to effect his re-
lease he was left without precious
metal for coins or decorations. So he
found it necessary to pay the palace
expenses with leather money. He also
used leather medals when he wished to
confer honor on some nobleman. The
custom quickly arose Of presenting
leather medals as a burlesque distinc-
