Acci- dents by fire have become more nu mer ous since the introduction of coal oit for lighting -not that 'the oil is danger- ous if properly used, but it is constantlY so improperly used. Servants," aud housewives too, are continually using it for lighting fires -pouring a little ou the kindling to make a quick blaze. The flame darts up into the can, and there is an explosion. • I have often heard of pereon sprinkling powder from It keg upon a slow fire to expedite it. It is needless to say that the fire, leaping, followed the rash hand back tn' the keg to the destruction of the reckless person and the room also. Helen's Hanuah had this terrible habit :of using ker62- teee, Helen used to say that she ex- pected every morning to hear a shriek, and see Hannah running about the house ali on fire. She got her lesson, however, in an easier fashion. Helen's Tom was ill, and. 1 went to the•kitehen to make gruel. Hannah, iu her zeal to quicken the coking, took a• bottle wherein • was a little kerosene, and sprinkled it -on the fire. Not knowing what she was doing, I turned jest in time to see the flame dart back into the bottle. Hannah flung it from her, thus spriuldine, herself with the flaming oil. Fortunately, there were but a few drops in the bottle.canght up a bucket, which stood full of water, and dashed it over Hannah, and then catching her by the shoulders pressed her upon the floor oil lier face, and wrapped. the kit chen carpet over her ; she was spared other harm than the loss of her apron and her dress sleeves-. The unlucky bottle breaking on the hearth, consum- ed the rest of the small quantity of oil without damage. Hannah has been judi- cious in her use of kerosene ever since. 'A, fruitful cause of lamp explosions is the use of lamps iu wineh the oil has burned very low ; or, people do not trim the wicks properly. and rod -hot stuff falls from them ; others screw lamp top on poorly, allowing room for the air to sweep in if the 'lamp is moved. If lamps-- are filled too full or until they run over, there is great danger of au ex- plosion; nor should they ever be filled by lamp or firelight, or near a, stove. No housewife should retire for the night •until she has looked after the state of • the fires in the house, made sure that no wood is in a position where it may fall on a stove or fire, and has seen to it that:there is a supplyof water in the pails. One should not go to bed with pitchers and buckets etapty for- no one can knoa- what dangers. may call for water before daybreak. The old saw," an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," should be written in every kitchen. How many fires have oeigivated from the insane practice of preparing kindling for he morning and. leaving it Over night on top the kitchen stove, where the fire is yet burning when the family retire ? The wood breaksinto a, flame, falls apart, rolls on. the floor; the dry pine boards are soon in a blaze, sand the family are preseutly homeless. An- other frequent cause of burned houses is the leaving of a, frame of clothes be- side the kitchen stove at night to finish drviug orairing some yielding of the floor, puff of wind., the running against the frame of a cat, dog or rat, topples it over, and in a few minutes the burning • garments are • scattering destruc tion. Millions of dollars' -worth of property have been destroyed by carelessness in taking up and disposing of ashes. Ashes should always be removed in the morn- ing before the fire is lit ; this should be an invariable rule. The ashes are then cold and safe. Ashes should never be • put in a barn, wood shed, beside a fence, or by any wooden buildings. -Wood ashes will retain a ceutral heat, and communicate fire long after they are supposed to be quite extinct. It is good eeenomy to dig a square ash -pit, build a • brick wall four feet high about it, and cover it with a sloping roof ; if the under side of the roof boards are cover- ed. • with refuse tin, or with a thick wash of salt and lime, somuch the better. Speaking of fires I arn reminded of people'e careleseuess in the use of matches. They leave matches in closets near chimmuyi:i, or in places exposed to a strong sun heat, so that they may be ignited by %That ie .called spOntaneous combustimi. :Matches are left ou shelves, iu paper lessees, where mice can geb among them; they are dropped around the fluor, and swept into dusty cracks aud corners; a burnt match with a red-hot end is dropped. into a wood -box, or on a floor : covered with matting. People carry matches about in their pockets, and leave them hang- ing up in a dusty coat, and then Wonder why' tree aro so frequent. When we :think =if the miilione of,. dollars s early lost in fires, we must be sure that there is inexcusable carelessness some where. A great fire like that in Chicago or Boston astounds as, but yearly quite as much property is lost in isolated fires. Scattered over all .the . country one sees the blackened ruins of what were handsome or emnfortable farm houses and flue barns. The phrase, "loss covered by insurance," seems to deceive people' -" loss ' transferred by insurance," would be a truer term, for the loss is a loss, and the. dollars burued up are dollars gone, hest entirely out of the general purse. The contributions of the many on insurance policies have saved the- 'one loser from ruin, the loss is spread out more widely, and so is less felt by a single individual; bat it is a -loss of property just as much as when one reads " no insurance." • The Fortunes of the Presidents. IVashington kft an estate worth $?•-t00,000. John Adam S died moderate- ly well off. Jefferson diet:1.st) poor that if Congress had not given $20,000 for • his library_he would have been bank- rupt.
