There are doubtless many firmer! who have experienced sudden and destructive conflagrations in their hay lofts, which could not be ascribed to any exterior iuto flame, almost wiiluut" taming, save perhaps a significant odor, for a -few days Iireviously, around the places where the iay was etore-l, and a summera' harvest is swept away in as nuny minu'os as it has taken days to gatlie'r it. These un expected conflagrations are generally ac credited to tramps who have made the hay .loft their sleeping resort, but il is now as serted that such calamities are frequently due to the spontaneous combustion of the hay, a circumstance theoretically quTte possible, .but rarely considered. Aobe Moiguo, in Let Monde, gives the followiog as the theory of tin phenomenon: ILiy when pileddamp, and iu too large masses, ferments and turns dark. In decomposing, sufficient heat is developed to be iosup portable when the hand is thrust into tu mass, aud vapors begin to be emitted. Wt the water is almost entirely evapor the decomposition continues, audtbtl ' becomes carbonized little by littl then the charred . portion,; Jikiypeat, peat cindt-rs mixed with charcoalysulphu roils pyrites and lignite, etc. ,r becomes a kind of pyrophorus, by virtue of its great porosity and the large quantity of matter exposed to high oxidation. Under the influence of air in large amount, this char coal becomes concentrated on the surface to such a decree that the mass reaches temperature which results in its bursting iuti flames. The preventives for this danger are care that the bay in tbe lofts is kept pe.Ieclly dry; that it is. weJljpacked, and that it is stored in small bmv her than in large masse.. .

The husband was of the same mind, and his wife asked him to begin with . her faults, lie was somewhat reluctaut, but his wife insiated that he was the first to propose the matter, and ai he was at the bead of the house it was his place to take the lead. Thus urged, be began the recital. He said: "My dear, one of the first faults I ob served io you after we began keeping house was that you a good deal neglected the tinware. You didn't keep it scoured ai bright as it should be. My mother always took great pride in her tiuware, and kepi, it as bright as a dollar." - "I am glad that you have mentioned it, dear," said the wife, blushing a little ; "hcreafleryou shall see uo speck on cup or pan.

Now when at home, I remember that my mother atways used to wash out her dish-rags when she was done using them, and then hang them up where they could dry, ready for the next time she would need inem. Blushing as before, the young wifd prom' ised to amend this fault. The husband continue 1 with a most for midib e ibt of similar faults, many more thnu we have space to enumerate, when he declaired that he could think of nothing more that was worthy of men tion.
