Iu case of either a chimney or r room catching fire, '.lie first thing tt be thought of is to exclude all draughts for it is certain that the slightest cur rent of air will increase the force of tin fire. All the doors and windows should l>< shut at once, and if the chimuey be on lire, a wet blanket should be iinmedi ately fastened to the top of the mantel piece, so as to exclude all draughts froua the opening of the chimuey, am entirely cover the grate, shutting th< trap first, if possible. This will, in most cases, make tlx fire go out of itself. You may throv into the grate a few handfuls of salt Water should never ue uirowii u?? i from above, a9 it spoils the carpet ani furniture unnecessarily. If the window or bed-curtains catcl fire, beat them with the thickest wool en garment you can lay your hand upou. Window-curtains can in mos case# be torn down with a violent jerk and this will prevent the llames iron extending to the wood-work of th< windows. In escaping from a burninj house or room, remember that the ai nearest the floor i9 clearer than any and go on your bauds and knees a once. A wet cloth tied over the mouth am nose keeps out the smoke, will lielj the breathing, and prevent sullbcatioi if too much oppressed. A wet blanket, or even a dry om speedily used, will extinguish man; ' a small conflagration?such, for in stance, as of an upset lamp, by exclud ing the air, and will be far more etfi cacious than water thrown for tha purpose; its use also prevents damag 10 furniture. Wheu an alarm of fire is given, if it bed, wrap yourself in a blanket, whicl will form the best protection for yoi from the chance of ignition, aud en deavor to remember the different exit 1 ...1 ?r? iroin me nouse?wueic mcj ? ?< how to reach them; if you cannot at taiu to any of tbem, try to get t? 1 front room as near the ground as po.s bible. The Secret of a Long Life. . You sometimes see a woman whos old age is as exquisite as was the per feet bloom of her youth, She stem condensed sweetness and grace. Yoi wonder how this has come about; yoi wonder how it is her life has been i long ami happy one. Here are some o the reasons: -?She knew how to forget disagreeable things. She understood the art of enjoyment She kept her nerves well in hand and inflicted them on no one. She believed in the goodne.-s of he own daughters and in that of he neighbors. Sne cultivated a good digestion. .She mastered the art of saying |?Ioris ant words. She did not expect too much fron her friends. She made whatever work come t< her congenial. She retained her illusions, and dii not believe that all the world wai wicked and unkind. She relieved the miserable, and sym pathized with the sorrowful. She retained an even disposition and made the best of everything. She did whatever came to her cheer ful and well. She never forgot that kind word; and a smile cost nothing, but arc price 1 ~/-iicnniii*omjjl less treasuico w mc uiawui?f,vU. She did unto others as she would b< done by, and now that old age hai come to her and there is a halo o white hair about her head, she is love< and considered. This is the secret of a long life and j happy one.?Ladies' Home Journal. The Power or Truth. It is related of a Persian mother, 01 giving her son forty pieces of silver a; Lis poriion, that she made him vow never to tell a lie, and said : "Go, my son, I consign thee to God and we shall not meet again till tin day of judgment." The youth went away, and the partj he traveled with were assaulted by 10b hers. One fellow asked the boy wha he had, and he answered with cand:?i that surprised his questioner: > "Forty dinars are sewed up in m,j mjrmanfa " The robber laughed, thinking tin boy jesting. Another asked the sam< question and received the same answer At last the chief called him and askei him what he had. The boy replied : "I have told two of your people al ready that I have forty dinars sewec up in my clothes." The chief ordered his clothes to b< ripped open, and the money was found. "And how came you to do this ?" "Because," replied the boy, "J would not be false to my mother whom I solemnly promised never t< tell a lie." "Child," said the thief, "art tliou sc mindful of thy mother, while I am in sensible, at my age, of the duty I o\v< to God? Give me thy hand, that J may swear repentance on it." He did so, and his followers were struck with the scene. "You have been our leader in guilt,' they said to the chief; "be the same in \ the path of virtue." Aud, taking the boy's hand, the} \ swore repentance on it. lioys, speak only that which is true. You may d< much good by it, if you never lead r \ band of robbers to God and honesty.

''That makes ten times that I have i caught it," Hose said, in a satisfied i tone. "No, it doesn't; it makes nine times, j just exactly as many as I have. j This is what Mary said, and she I kept her hoop poised in the air while ishe waited to settle the question. .! "Why, Mary Lee! you are mistaken. I caught the hoop ten times." "And I know you are mistaken ; you j have caught it just nine times. I Hasn't she, Helen?" ''I didn't count,"said Helen. "Well, 1 did ; and it is quite likely I know how many times I have caught a h op." i "And I should think it was quite likely I should know how many times my own hoop was caught." Jioth girls began to have red cheeks and bright eyes. Frank laughed. 'I "Now you ?re getting angry," lie , said, gaily, as though he thought it . was fun." "If you were boys, you 'would pitch into each other and fight it out." How do girls manage these things ?" "I don't wan't to play any more," . said Mary, dropping the hoop. , "Oh !" said Frank. "I know what Igirls do?they sulk. I think it is just [\as niee to fight, anJ more interesting. , i Now, you won't speak to each other for hours." } "What is the use?" said Helen. "What is the difference between nine and ten, anyway ?" Frank said, "The difference was a j quarrel." I Then Rose, after a minute of silence, j said, *Xo it isn't either; it is a kiss." And she put her amis around Mary's j neck, and gave her a hearty one. 7 "Come Mary, perhaps T was mistaken." J "Maybe T was," said Mary, "let's bej gin all over again." "There, Frank, that's the way girls , manage those things," said Helen. "Some girls," said Frank. Then he B .went to whistling.?#:/.

' Every 7 years the land rested. J Every 7th year all the bondmen were - set free. s Every 7th year the law was read to 1 the people. In the destruction of Jericho, < ^ priests bore7 trumpets7 days; on tht 7th day tliny surrounded the walls < times; and the end of the 7th round, the walls fell.

Birthdays. > We met one uay wuen riuuig through the Berkshire region in j\Ins1 sachusettsa quaint old lady, who looks ed every day of seventy, but who was trudging sturdily along, taking eggs to - sell in tlie town four miles distant. She accepted our invitation to ride, , and after some talk on various subjects I asked : ''How old are you ?" "Eighteen," was the quick answer. 3 My brother almost stopped the - horses, for he was really frightened, thinking we had taken a lunatic and ' she might do us harm. * "Yes," she continued, quietly, f that's the way I figure it. You see, I 1 was born on Feb. 29, 18iG, and I've never had but eighteen birthdays, so 1 i don't see as how I can be more'n eighteen vears old." She laughed contentedly over her little joke, and we who joined merrily with her will long remember our odd 1 "eighteen-year-old" friend. 15 Now they tell about an old lady near ' Pittsburg who had a movable birthday. .She had the good fortune to be born on ! Easter Sunday, and she insists on re' ceiving presents and congratulations on that festival, no matter when it occurs. People have tried to reason with - the old lady, calendar in hand, but she ' replies to them all: "I was born on r Easter Sunday morn, fifty-six years ago, and until I die Easter Sunday ' will be my birthday." : Johnuic. * Tf tvimpil Hisnmllv. Johnnie had I been in the house ail the morning. He was a bright boy of seven, full of life and energy, and very fond of oul1 door sports; but his mother was afraid to let him ^o out in the rain, and he ; amused himself indoors for a time quis etly, and then he began to be restless. "Johunie, don't," said his mamma, as he began to drum louder and louder [ on the window-pane. Johnnie became , quiet. > "Johnnie, don't," said his mamma, as he vociferously imitated the locomo> tive, ending in a shrill whistle. John nie subsided. ; "Johnnie, don't," said his mamma, [ as he got the pet dog barking with all his might, and Johnnie let the dog > alone. The boy went from one thing to an' other, and every time he began to find i interest in the new occupation, his mother's "Johnnie don't sent him oil' to something else. If lie Hail been seni out uunng we > morning on a scries of errands, proi tected by overcoats, waterproof, and rubbers, it would have done him no harm, but a deal of good. If he had been set to splitting kindling, or making something with saw and hammer and nails, that would have used up some spa re force. Cutting out pic: u res might have occupied him, or helping 1 his mother in making cake, or modeling in clay, or stringing buttons, or sewing patchwork. Johnnie felt nagged. It' his mother would have said, "Johnnie, do this or that;" but she only said, "Johnnie, don't." Faith shines most brightly in bolievi ing things that seem incredible?hope shines in expecting things that seem , improbable?patience in bearing crosses that appear intolerable. iy.tr- r-; .-;--v A Valentine.

"A Manuel shirt in the place of the linen dress shirt is now worn by many gentlemen. The persons so attired look cooler, and are cooler than those in regulation dress. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that because the top shirt is flannel that the flaunel undershirt can be left oft'. Wearing an undershirt of ftannel obviates danger from changes of temperature, sudden cooling oft; <&c. Woolen undergarments should be worn all the year. They are not only the most effective, but the most cleanly. Cotton, linen and silk uuderware cause the fine particles of skin thrown off' to adhere to them, while flannels absorbs the perspiration more quickly, and do not retain the cuticle rubbed oft" by the friction on the skin. Persons who have experience with the different kinds of underwear seldom don anything but woolen. Probably the least, desirable of all undergarments are those made of silk. Athletes, oarsmen and those in training for any of the athletic sports will hear of nothing but woolens. The laborer on the streets, even in the hotte3t weather, wears two woolen shirts?one to absorb the perspiration as lie labors, and the other to prevent his too sudden cooling off*. These men all know that a sudden cooling of the surface means an attack of some kind of trouble about tue bowels or some thoracic disorders. Tliey cannot afford to run such risks, nor can they use ice Avater in quantities. Many of them will be seen mixing a little oatmeal with their drinking water, which is a good thi.ig to quench the thirst, and none of the experienced will load the stomach with any kind of water. They know the benefits of moderation in the summer time." m George Jones, the euitor and chief . proprietor of the New York Timed, was in Washington shortly after the , present administration came in, and after calling on the President stopped ' at the Treasury to pay his respects to Secretary Dan Manning. "I think we have met before this," said the Secretary, "but I guess you don't remember me." "1 certainly do not," said Mr. Jones ; "where did we meet?" "In Llyour ornce," saiu oecrcim-jr luaumuf;, !! laughing; "I was only a messenger then, while you were the editor of the i 'Times. I used to bring you messages . from Cassidy, of the Albany Argus, 'and I remember that you were very ilpolitetome and gave me some kind advice now and then." Now George Jones is not an old niau, yet right in the middle of his lifetime a poor boy i climbed up from a messenger's place to ^be Secretary of the Treasury. It is I worth something to live in this corner , of the earth.?Excliangc. Too Many.?There is too much love in the world, said some one the other fjday to me.

Too much impertinence. . :3sToo much weakness uuiorgiven. Too much of bad puns. Too many courses at dinner. Too many chestnuts. Too many women who support their husbands. Too many liars. Too many bores. Too many tiresome plays. Too many books written to sell and not to read.

Wash Youk Hands.?Cases of infection that could be accounted for in no other way have been explained by the lingers-as a vehicle. In handling money, especially of pap?r, doorknobs, banisters, car-straps, and a 'hundred things that every one must frequently touch, there are chances innumerable of picking up germs of typhoid, scarlitana, diphtheria, smallpox, etc. Yet some persons actually put such things in their mouths, if not too large ! liefore eating, or touching that which is to he eaten, the hands should be immediately scrupulously washed. We hear much about general cleanliness as "next to godliness." It may he added that here in particular, it is also ahead of health and safety. The Jews made 110 mistake in that "except, they washed they ate not." It is a sanitary ordinance as well as an ordinance of decency. Dr. Hay good tells this story : "Last winter we passed a field where a fifteen dollar plow was standing in the last furrow it made. There it had been standing for months. It was red with rust; the stock and handle black with mildew ; the man's wagons were out in the yard ; a reaper divided, part in the yard, part in the field, and a part under shelter, and his farm under mortgage for the guano he used to make cotton enough to pay for the tools and implements he bought last year. His smoke house was in Cineinnati; his corn crib in Chicago ; the few hogs he had were in the garden, while his poor cows, their hair turned the wrong way in a shivering group around a pile of straw that was rotting in tlie field. Information'.?'"I picked up a bit of in formation the other day," said a city hotel clerk, "that I hadn't thought of before. A couple of men were talking in the office, when one asked on what day of the week Christmas will be this year. 'Let's see,' replied the other; 'I was married on the first day of May. That was Wednesday. Christmas will come on Wednesday.' That struck uie forcibly and when I got a little leisure I gathered up a lot of old calendars and investigated it. 11 found that it is true that the first day of May and Christmas of the same year occur on the same day of 'the week." No wiser remark was ever made by Dr. Benjamin Franklin than a severe sentence which he once uttered to a young man who had an appointment with him, and missed it. Next day the young man came, and began to tnako a very lluent excuse to the doctor for his absence the day before. "Stop!" said Franklin. "You have said too much already, my good boy, for the man who is good at making an excuse is seldom good at anything else." Ii lii, CONGAREE IRON WIIIIKS, Ooumbia, S. C.
