Home Fire Extinguishe.

One of the best and simplest Of
chemical fire extinguishers can be
made out of old burnt-out electric
light globes. These are submerged,
nipple or point downward. in dish
or basin Of carbon tetrachoride.
Then with pair of pliers the point
is nipped off. The liquid then is
sucked in by the vacuum in the lamp
globe 9until nearly full. When filed
the minute entry hole should be
stopped with wax or cement which
should not be allowed to come into
contact with the liquid content. The
filed globes should be stored in spe-
cial racks, point upward. They are
excellent as first-aid extinguishers for
domestic or laboratory fires.-New

BRET HARTE AND ANNA

THIS is another of those husband
4 and-wife love letters which appear
quiet and unromantic and in reality
are more potent love letters than the
ardent phrases of the pre-ceremony
.missives. Bret Harte married Anna
Griswold when he was but twenty

other trips away from home, his every
change Of mood, every recurrence Of
good luck and Ill luck every episode
Of his experiences were at once re-
layed to his confidante at home.

now l send you many and happier re-
turns of your birthday, dear little
woman. I've gone along thus far and
very fairly and without delay. My
Washington lecture was crowded; the
audience was almost as quick and re-
sponsive as the Boston folk and the

You will be sorry to hear that felt

Miss Banks at Burlingham's little din
ner-but l don't know that told you
that she was lovely.
slow you would have enjoyed this
trip with me!
"Finding that 1 would be two or
three hours in Baltimore on my way
to Pittsburgh, telegraphed to Chiss
Mayer to meet and sup with me. He
met me at the depot; we went to
'Guy's'-a famous restaurant-and had
nice supper. and then we spent the
last half hour of our limit at Branty
Mayors house with your cousins.
Miss Kate and jimmy were on their
way to a party and there were one or
two others whom I had not seen be-
fore. They all regretted you were not
with me and made me promise to bring
you in the early spring to spend a
few days.
II am looking from the windows OF
my hotel on the Monongahela river,
with all sorts Of queer fiatboats and
barges passing and requesting. How
you would have enjoyed it, The mail

you are better or you would have tele-
graphed me. Kiss the chickens for
me. Nan, and look for the safe return
speedily Of your own. Frank"

lowing stanza is sample:

Pours forth those fond accents that
thrill thee;
o list! both thy doors and thy windows

For fear that some Thorough sdraught

low in the sky.
And the fog's drifting wildly around

There's damp in my throat. there Is

And my old friend Neuralgia has found
