WHEN FIRE BREAKS OUT.

In case of fire. If the burning
articles nre at once splashed and
■prayed with a solution of snlt and
nitrate of ammonia an Incombustible
coating Is formed. This is a prepara
tion which can be made at home at a
trifling cost and should be kept on
hand. Dissolve twenty pounds of com
mon salt and ten pounds of nitrate of
ammonia In seven gallons of water.
Tour this Into quart bottles of thin
glass nnd fire grenades nre at hand
ready for use. These bottles must be
tightly corked nud sealed to prevent
evaporation, and in case of fire they
must be thrown near the flumes, so ns
to break nnd liberate the gas con-
tnlued. At least two dozen of these
bottles should be ready for an emer
gency.
In this connection It Is well to re
member that water ou burning oil scat

tinguish it. Suit thrown upon a fire
If the chimney Is burning will help to
deaden the blaze. If a fire once gets
under headway nnd prompt exit be
comes a necessity, a silk handkerchief
dipped iu water nnd wrapped about
the mouth nnd nostrils will prevent
suffocation from smoke; failing this, a
piece of wet flannel will answer.
Should smoke fill the room, recall
your physics—remember that smoke
goes first to the top of the room nnd
last to the floor. Wrap a blanket or
woolen garment about you, with the
wet cloth over your face, drop ou your
bauds and knees and crawl to the win
dow. Bear In mind that there Is no
more danger In getting down from a
three ^tory window than from the first
floor If you keep n firm hold of the
rope or ladder. Do not slide, but go
band over hand.—New York Tribune.
GRAFTING.

Do You Think You Would Recognise
It on Another Person?
My neighbor Brown came to the gar- I “How strange it Is," said the philoso

den fence and said:
"How do you do your grafting?"
"My grafting?” said I.
“Yes—grafting apple trees. I want
to try It myself.”
"Ob!" 1 exclaimed. "Yes, ycsl Well,
In the first place, I begin by lying—
; that Is, I lie In bed to think the whole
thing out In every detail. 1 watch my
opportunity, nnd on the first fine day I
steal a few hours from my business.
Then I borrow a saw—a steel one—
nnd with It I rob the tree upon which
I want to graft of some of Its larger
l branches. This I try to do In such a
way that the loss of the branches will

not l>e left lying—tlmt Is, lying on the

' attract the attention of passersby.
They should be hustled behind the lat

good. Now, let me see—oh, yes! 1
rob another tree of n few twigs hav

the ends of the sawed branches on the
tree. Then I take some beeswax nnd
tallow nnd melt them together. This

for nil you’re worth to make It pliable.
Finally with this 1 try to hide nil ap

nnd air, nnd there you nro—the Job Is

"I see,” Bn Id Brown, "nnd I think
I’m foxy enough to do the trick the
first time trying. Many thanks.”
Shortly after I heard Brown telling
his wife how I explained the process.

8trictly Fresh Eggs.
There are summer resorts, remote
from nuy agricultural communities,
where fresh farm products are eveu
harder to obtain than iu the city. It
was at such u place that the new
boarder, who had eaten four or five
breakfasts there, began to wonder why
the eggs were Invariably served fried.
"See here," be Inquired one morning
of the genial colored man who waited
upon him, "why do you always fry
eggs here? Don't you ever boll them?"
“Oh, oh, yes, sah!" respouded the
waiter pleasantly. "Of co’se yo* kin
have ’em boiled If yo’ wunts ’em, but

another mouse. This trap worked well,
caught eleven mice at the first go off
and soon rid the miller’B mill of Its
