OVERHEATINGâ€"Beware of ‘overâ€" heating stoves, boilers, furnaces and qipes. f f DEFECTSâ€"â€"Defective stoves,â€" boilâ€" urs, furnaces, pipes . and> chimneys sbould be promptly repaired Oor reâ€" placed. PURNACESâ€"Protect â€" all woaodâ€" work above and around boilers, if within three feet, with â€"a â€" metal shield, also all woodwork near furâ€" nace pipes. It is best to rivet the lengths of pipes together to prevent Gisjointing. The pipe should fit perâ€" fectly in to the chimney. . Examine the ipipe frequently for rust holes or other defects. _ Keep them free from dust, fiuff and spider webs, which are eafgily ignited. Oof the woodwork will cause cracks in the chimney. Nor should the chim rey walls be use to support joists or other woodwork. Soft brick and poor ~mortar are often responsible for defects in the chimney. Use _ a good quality of brick . and cement mortar. Chaimney. walls should be at least cight inches thick, the fiue . of ample size and lined with fire â€" clay or terra colta.. Never stuff up the fue holes with rags or paper. nor cover them with enything â€" â€"but a metal stock. CLimneys should be cleaned frequently. CHIMNEYSâ€"Chimneys should be built from the gzround up, and never rest on wocd supports. The settling PIPESâ€"See that the lengths of stovepipe are woll fitted â€" together, free from rust holes and parted seams, wired firmiy and fitted perâ€" fectly into the c}imney. Stovepipes passing through partitions, walls, floors, attics and roofs are dangerâ€" ous at best. Whoere these must pass through partitions, walls or floors always use a large, ventilated double thimble. You should examine. the stovepipes in the attic. They may come apart or rust. Fluff and spider webs are likely to gather on and around them, to be set on fire when you least expect it. esd Game was a Corker and Full of Surprisesâ€"Jimmy Wray and Pat Patterson Pull of Some Sensational Fielding Stuntsâ€" Gowâ€" land had one bad Inning Which Gave Grays the Gameâ€"Phillies Looked Like the Strongest Team on Paper. oTEVE McGOYS GRAYa W GHAMPIO in two feet of any â€" stove with a metal shield, lefving an airâ€"space between the shicld â€" and the â€" wall.

Shades of Christopher Columbus, i.e., the guy who discovered the Forty Mile Creekâ€"have you heard the news? Steve McCoy has at last rounded up a team that won a ball game for him, and Stevadore now struts around town with his chest stuck out like a regular Chanticlare. The‘ great game of soft ball for the World‘s Championship took place last Saturday afternoon at the local ball yard, between the Grays, captained and misâ€"managed by one Steplen McCoy, and the Phillies, captained and unâ€"manâ€" aged by one, James Andalusian Wray of steam pipe fame. $ s The two teams were picked out from the best players in the five teams that comprised the soft ball league and they were pretty evenly balanced, at least we all thought so, and we still think so. In fact, the Phillies looked, on paper, to be the strongest team of the two, but for some unaccountable reason, they did not play as good ball behind Gowland as the Grays played behind Fis;her. TUl, GIO Lib Ryder was caught out on a high fly to Wray. McBride hit safely, V. Farâ€" rell hit safely. W. Farrell was caught out, Fisher lined out a two bagger which scored McBride and Farrell. Konkle hit safely and advanced Fisher to third. McCoy struck out. Two runs, four hits. Fa, 3rdâ€"Fisher lined the first one pitched to him, out for a two bagger and went to third on M. Gowland‘s hit; Wray struck out. C. Farrell hit Ssafely and scored Fisher. Farrell stole for second and was caught out, Gowland went home. Schwab struck out. Two runs, three hits, : Patterson struck.out. Cloughley was caught out. â€" Ryder struck out. No runs, no hits. f § x Sharp, fast fielding by both teams featured the game throughout, and on more than one occasion, the huge crowd of taxâ€"payers arose to their feet to applaud the clever work of some fielder. The work of Wray in left field for the Phillies was the feature of the day. James performed the remarkable feat of catching two long high flies in succession after a hard run and a jumping catch. Jimmy was never known to make a catch before and it is not likely he will ever be known to make another one. s ~< yR Patterson was the hero of the day for the Grays. He was to bat five times but only got two hits, one of them being a homer. He got one chance in right field and after a long run he made one of the nicest catches ever seen on the local yard. f ‘ The score was 10â€"4 in favor of the Grays, but the large score is no criterion that the game was loose and slow, for the Grays piled up five of their runs in one inning, and were lucky to get them. R ‘ The Grays gave Fisher wonderful support, only making six errors behind, while the Phillies made fifteen. 1st Inningâ€"Phillies went to bat first. . Wray, C.

Also it should be remembered that for eating from the hand the peach is the best fruit of all, but you should use for this purpose only the peaches that you buy in the full light of day. Once upon a time, or perhaps I should say "Once upon another time," a newly arrived Irishman went out with a friend to steal peaches. It was dark and Pat had been told to grope along the branches for the fruit. Presently he whispered, "Moike!" His friend . answered "Phwat!" â€""Has paiches got legs?" ‘"Naw." "Then begobs I‘ve swallowed a straddle bug." It really is not much of a story and I am giving it on account of its arch« eâ€"0â€"logâ€"iâ€"cal interest and not because it is so very funny. It dates back ts the days when peoglo moerely know that peaches are the best of> fruits and had not discovered that Canada is the. best place to raise the very best of them. The woman who was fortunate enough to %et some from a sheltered orchard or from a lone tree that was so fortunately situated that it escaped the frost put up a féw to have for such special occasiong as the visit of the preacher. In those days the minister was a much more welcome visitor on the farm than the agent of getâ€"richâ€"quick concerns and mining promoters â€" and there is a moral to that if I only had time to work it out. Because peaches were saved for such extra special occasions a tradition has grown up about them in many parts of the country. Some housewives, otherwise very bright, and a credit to the Farmer‘s Institutes to which they belong, consider it an extravagance to preserve peaches unâ€" less they get them at sacrifice prices. Yet these same women will pay from ten to fifteen cents a quart for curâ€" rants and berries that need far more sugar to do them up than the already sweet peaches. As peaches usually come in elevenâ€"quart baskets you will find if you divide the price by eleven that peaches cost less per quart than any other fruit. But because they were once so great a luxury houseâ€" wives are slow to realize that they should have more of them than of any kind of fruit, for they are both the cheapest and the best. There is no reason why every farmer‘s wife in the districts where peaches cannot be grown should not buy them as freely as they do other fruits and have them not ‘only when the préacher comes to dinner but when the boys and girls come home from the city and .at all other times when they want to have something luxurious on the table.

T Once upon a timeâ€"you see I know how to begin a story in the right way â€"a barefoot boy danced by the roadâ€" side and shouted gleefully.
