Fires in the home are easier to pre vent than to extinguish. Practically every fire originating in a dwelling house is due to careleas ness or neglect. The attic, cellar, and all clothes 1 dosets should be cleaned at least once ! a year and all useless material and rubbish removed and burned. In storing clothing, remove all matches and other material from the pockets. Do not hang clothes near hot chimneys. Do not go into clothes closets with lighted matches or candles. Use only safety matches and keep them away from the children. Never throw burned matches on the floor or into waste baskets. Coaloil lamps should always be filled by daylight. They should be kept dean and properly trimmed. A dirty lamp is unsafe. Especial care should be taken In the home to prevent fires from start ing, because when they do start there is seldom a man about to extinguish them. Where women and children are housed, the utmost vigilance is neces sary on the part of those responsi ble for their welfare. A fuse is the "safety valve" of any electric system, and should never be replaced by one of larger size, or of any other material. Do not allow paper or rubbish to ac cumulate behind strain colls or radi ators. Be careful of aehea. Do not deposit them against wooden buildings or fences. See that there are no live coals. Far better to pour a pail of water over them than to take the risk or a strong wind carrying live coala and starting fires. Rags and cloths saturated with cleaning and polishing oils may ig nite spontaneously in a few hours. Burn them at once. ' Gas stoves should never be con nected up with rubber tubing. Gas pipe, rigid and secure, is the only safe connection. Never allow little children to carry lamps, and never set lamps oo a table cover. Children may pull them 0Ter- ' THE SAFETY SCOUT'S PLATFORM. I will bear in mind the value of hu man life and a sound body. I will take no risks to endager mr body or any of its parts. I will do nothing to endanger th life or limb of any other person. I will be vigilant not only for my own safety, but for that of others, in the streets or indoors, on foot or in conveyances, anywhere and at all times. I will try to do at least one Good Turn for Safety every day. AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS. The systematic recdrds of the Na tional Fire Protection AssnciaHnn prove conclusively the efficiency of sprinkler systems. Since 1897, 14,353 fires in springlered risks have been reported. Of these 30 per cent were put out by one sprinkler; 46.6 per cent were put out by not more than two sprinklers; 73 per cent were put out by not more than six sprinklers; 84.8 per cent were put out by not more than twelve sprinklers; 4.8 per cent, that is about one in every twen ty, were not handled satisfactorily by sprinklers and the principal reasons were these : water shut off, obsolete or corroded sprinklers, parts of the risk- not equipped, poor water supply, conflagration exposure, obstruction to uiauiuuuuu ui water, ana poor hollow construction. or A bouse on the ground is worth two up in smoke.

Merrtam Reprinted by arrangement with the American Book Company, pub- Ushers.) A country maid was walking very delrberately with a pail of milk upon her head, when she fell into the fol lowing train of reflections: 'The money forwhtch I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred. These eggs, allowing for what may prove tddle, and What may be destroyed by ver min, will produce at least two hun dred and fifty chickens. The chicken will be fit carry to market about Christmas, when poultry always hears a good price; so that by Mar Day I can. not fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown. Green! let me consider fesf green becomes my complexion best, and green it shall be. In this drees f will go to the fair, where aU the young fellows will strive to have me for & partner; but I shall perhaps refuge every one of them; and, with an air of disdain, toss from them."

An old man found a rude boy upon one of his trees stealihg apples, and desired him to come down, but1 the young saucebox told him plainly he would not. "Won't you?" said the old man, "then I will fetch you down"; so he pulled up some turf or grass and threw at him; but. this only made the youngster Jaugh, to think the old man should pretend to beat him. down from the tree with grass only. "Well, well," said the old man, "if neither words nor grass will do, I must try what virtue there is in stones"; so. the oldman pelted him heartily with stones which soon made the yousg chap hasten down from the tree and bej the old man's par don. '' , 4 ' i ' CHRISTMAS FIRES i ! : .. i AS A RESULT OF CARELESSNESS DURING THE HOLIDAY 8EAS0N. PROPERTY LOSS ENORMOUS To Secure Co-operation in JFire Pre vention Some Valuable Sugges tions Are Offered. (Safety Engineering.) The records of fire departments show every year losses of life and property by fires resulting from care lessness during the Christmas holi days. In the effort to prevent such losses of life and property individual co-operation is needed by officials charged with legal responsibility. To secure such individual co-operation the following suggestions are di rected to the man who is not actually interested in fire prevention, but who is sensible enough to understand that he can help materially in The Fight Against Fire. In schools, halls, churches, or wherever children or grown-ups gather unusual precautions should be taken. Exits should be marked with red lights and kept free and clear. Sheet-tin or sheet-zinc should be placed under every Christmas tree to catch candle drippings. Sand, water, or fire ex tinguishers should be kept in the most convenient places for instant use. Every Santa Claus costume should be dipped in a solution of four ounces of phosphate of ammonia to a quart of water. In private homes cotton batting should not be used. The dry Christ mas tree is bad enough. Watch can dles carefully. Several basins or pails should be filled, with water and kept in the kitchen. ? If a person's clothing catches fire the very first thing to do is to throw that person down; thig changes the direction of the flames and saves eyes, ears, face and lungs. Then smother the flames with a rug, blanket, carpet, coat, or anything that may be handy. If your own clothing takes fire lie down and rolf around while extinguishing the flames. To breathe fire, even invisible flame, is nearly always fatal, because the heat shrivels up the lungs. In stores and all sorts of retail establishments, the greatest care must be exercised. Many stores have been destroyed and many persons burned to death because of some seemingly unimportant error of judgment. All electric wiring should be done or ex amined by some competent person. Temporary wiring is generally faulty. Gas lights should be protected by a globe, chimney, screen or smoke bells and all muslin, cambric, curtains or other combustible materials should be kept at least 24 inches away from such flame. Swinging gas brackets should never be used. Do not deco rate electric light bulbs with paper petticoats the heat is enough to set fire to paper. Ventilate show win dows. Keep exits dear. Keep fire extinguishers handy. Insist upon "No Smoking." Fire is & useful ser vant, but a terrible master. PREVENTION IS WORTH WHILE. Fires in winter impose unusually severe hardships upoji the firemen. Frozen hands and feet are common in cidents in fighting winter t fires. Pneu monia frequently follows exposure' of those driven by fires out into the cold. Defective heating and lighting equip ments and combustible rubbfeh in fur naoe rooms are the usual causes of winter fires. Such fires are unneces sary and will not ecsur In premises properly cered for. Where are you- going to pit the boxes, exoeisior and pthec combustible packing material that eeme with Christmas gifts? Unknown to you, the life ef & ehlld may hang upon your answer. ' Fire prevention leaves 10 aftermath of regret. READ YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES. Before attemptiag any hasty or ill advised decoration whiah may cause fire, examine your Insurance contracts and see if the policies eoataia any thing like this: "This entire policy, unless otherwise provided by agreement endorsed here on or added hereto, shall be void," Letc, "if the han! be increased by any means within thfc control or knowledge of the insured." If you burn, you want your Indemni ty:, do nothing, therefore, to Impair your contract. USE AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS -A rapidly spreading fire costs many lives. No fire can spread rapidly or at all under sprinklers. That the au tomatic sprinkler has become known and approved by school authorities i3 shown hy the example, of the city:' of Buffalo, where the public school build ings 1 to 62, inclusive, the Central and LaFr;yette'high schools, have the basements protected by automatic sprinklers.
