ASHBURTON FIRE BRIGADE.

A meeting was held at the Somerset Hotel on Tuesday night, about twenty five members present. Mr George Comp ton, captain of the brigade in the chair. The Treasurer reported the balance in hand £3S 19s. The Standing Committee reported having ordered a 3 cwt bell from Messrs A. and T. Burt, of Dunedin, at Is 8d per lb, and it was proposed by Mr G. Parkin and seconded by Mr J. Brad ley, that the action of the Standing Com mittee be endorsed.—Carried.

The disposal of' the old bell was then considered, and some of the members were of opinion that the old bell should remain as an extra bell, and the others that two bells would lead to confusion.

Mr M. Friedlander proposed, and Mr Sargeant seconded —“ That the old bell be kept and the Standing Committee arrange for a new site for it if necessary.” Carried. Mr James Bradley proposed, and Mr J. Dolman seconded —“That the Borough Council be requested to allow the brigade to hold their meetings in the Council Chambers temporarily.”—Carried. It was mentioned that providing the Borough refused- the request, that Mr Tucker would give the use of a room in Montgomery's buildings. The following members were appointed on the Standing Committee to act with the officers: —Messrs J. Bradley, J. Wilkie, M. Friedlander, and G. Miller Tenders were opened for shifting engine house and erecting new bell tower. Mr Parkin, £2B 10s ;Mr Compton, £27. Mr G. Compton’s tender was accepted. It was resolved that the secretary apply to the secretary of the Insurance Associa tion for a subscription towards the cost of the erection of the bell tower.

The inutility of the well opposite Saunders’buildings was referred to, and the secretary was instructed to apply to the Council to have a hole sunk so as to lower the engine within reach of the water.

Mr J. Dolman said he had taken some trouble over the matter, and was aware that Mr Fooks had ordered the foreman of works to do the work, but it had not yet been done. Messrs Compton and Parkin to wait on the Mayor. Two new members were balloted for and elected.

Italian Ironclads.

Some further details have lately been published (says the Pall Mall Gazette) of the cost of the enormous ironclads which are being constructed for the Italian navy. The Duilio, of 10,570 tons displacement, and designed to carry four 100-ton guns in two turrets, —was launched at Casstella mare in 1877, and is now so far advanced that she wiil be ready to receive her arma ment before the end of the present year. It was originally estimated that she would cost 17,000,000 lire (£680,000); but it is now found that the expense of her con struction will be more than 18,000,000 lire (£720,000). The Daneolo, a sister ship of the Duilio, was launched last year at Spezzia, is now having her machinery placed in her, and will be ready to re ceive her guns towards the end of 1880 or the beginning of 1881, and will cost very nearly as’much as the Duilio, or a trifle under £720,000. The other two ships, the Italia and the Lepanto, which are even larger than the Duilio, being each of 13,700 tons displacement, or 2000 tons larger than the Inflexible, are at present stiil on the stocks, but will, it is hoped, be ready for lauching next year. The cost of each of these vessels was originally esti mated at 17,000,000 lire (£680,000) ; hut will, it is now calculated, amount to 19,720,000 lire (£788,800). The four iron clads will, therefore, together cost 9,306,000 lire (£372,240) more than was at first anticidated ; but it must be added that there is some slight though by no means well founded hope entertained that it may be found possible to armour the Italia and Lepanto with plates of cheaper manufacture than those placed on the Dandolo and Duilio whereby a saving of about 2,000,000 lire (£80,000) would be effected in the total cost of each ship.

Extraordinary Trance.

The sight to which all the world is anxious to obtain admittance is that of the girl now lying in a trance at the London Hospital. This case, which puzzles the doctors, and sets medicine altogether at defiance, has occupied the whole of the medical authorities for the last few weeks. The patient lies still and motionless upon the bed. She eats nothing, neither does she drink, her lips being hermetically closed. Her eyes are closely shut, but when the lids are raised the brightness of them is almost dazzling. The intelligence, too, with which the eye seems to look at you, as if inquiring the reason of this strange visitation—perplexed and terri fied, but neither dim nor vague—is mys terious in the extreme. The pulse mean while beats with formidable power, although no’ symptoms of breathing is visible. As the doctors acknowledge their own incompetency to decide upon a case of this kind, they are compelled to leave it in the hands of Nature—their own great Master, to whose will they arecompelled to bow a solution of the terribe enigmas which now and then sets their science at nought. The symptoms described by the nurse to the visitors who, by the permis sion of the authorities, are allowed to see the poor girl, are weird and terrible as a nightmare. The patient had already been in°the hospital about a week, when the ward in which she slept was aroused by her frantic cries for help. The agony with wliicli she had been suddenly seized in every limb was so intense that she felt sure she must be dying. Before the doctor could be summoned she rose in the bed, uttered one long piercing scream, and fell suddenly backwards with extended arms, stiff and motionless, as she has ever since remained. Every means known to science has been employed to restore her to consciousness, but without avail. Gal vanism, electricity, burning—have all proved useless, and the doctors are fain to own themselves beaten.

r Divorce —Mr Turnbull, M.H.R., wants Government to simplify and render less costly the proceedings in the divorce courts of the colony, so that it shall not be necessary in all cases for suitors to appear before the Appeal Court. In America, we have heard it said, a divorce can be pro cured by a couple during the time a rail way engine takes to water.

Coal Fires-Practical Hints.

So much of the comfort, health, and economy, depends upon the proper management of coal fires during winter, 1 that we offer a few common-sense sug | gestions which may be new to some readers who have not given thought to the subject.—ln renewing a fire in a stove or furnace, it is customary to dash in a lot of coal, entirely covering that already on fire. The result is a cold spell, cessation of cooking, etc., for half an hour, more or less, depending upon the kind of coal, its size and quality, the draft, and the amount already ignited. Often the fire vexatiously goes out. Thi3 can be avoided by piling all the fresh coal on half or so of that already on fire. The burning portion will partially maintain the heat, will keep up the draft, and rapidly extend through the fresh coal. When that is well on fire, it can be spread over the whole, or if needed more coal can ’be put on the other side, leaving the new coal on the other side well burning. In this way a continuous heat can be maintained, with far less risk of extinguishing what we have. This may seem a small matter, but it will often contribute a great deal of comfort, and often save weak or sickly or damp persons from taking or increasing a cold. In the kitchen it may save the spoiling of good cooking or baking. In large steamships, a steady power is kept up by haying several fire boxes under the same boiler, and replenishing only one at a time. When a coal fire is almost out it can be started afresh by first adding a little fine coal over the fire, with a bit or two of dry wood if needed, and with coal enough to concentrate the draft upon the little fire remaining.

STARTING COAL FIRES. In starting a coal fire, a great point is to concentrate the draft. If kindling wood is abundant and cheap a great quantity may be thrown in and fired, and when well lighted coal thrown on freely. But usually it is better to put a little kindling in a compact heat in one place, at the middle of the grating ; when well started, put over it a little fine coal, and cover all the rest of ;tlie-grate:with at least coal enough to turn the draft. of air through the kindling point.; It will burn more certainly and more rapidly, and extend to the rest of the mass much sooner than if the kindlings were spread out so as to give no strong heat to the hard coal at any point. The best kind ling for hard coal is a few shavings or paper to catch from the match ; over this a little pine, cut short ; and over this a little charcoal, or dry hard wood only half a foot or so in length, and slit fine — all the kindling in one pretty compact mass. The point is to get heat enough to ignite the hard coal. W hen the draft is not strong, or one is in haste, cover all the grating with a few thicknesses of waste paper, witli some coal upon it, except right under the kindlings. This will con centrate the draft at that point, and greatly. The paper will burn off as the fire proceeds, and admit the air to the other points.

SAVING COAL. In mild weather much coal might be saved in large stoves, or furnaces, or grates, by covering a part of the grating with brick, or fiat stones, or even clay, or by covering part of the coal with fine ashes, so that the draft of air can only pass through part of it. A little skill and care in this will effect a great saving of fuel, and supply an amount of heat adapted to tire weather or to the rooms to be warmed, we prefer a pretty large fire box in a stove or furnace, and in the cook stove even, the burning portion to be contracted or regulated as above ; we then have ample room for a large fire in extreme cold weather, or for an emergency. The brick or clay can be removed from any part of the grating as desired.

SIZE OE COAL. The smallest coal that will not drop through the grating is usually the most economical for all fires, even for large heating furnaces. Large lump, or egg coal even, requires a considerable depth of mass to burn well or, indeed, to keep ignited at all. Fine coal two or three inehes in depth will keep on fire and its rapidity of burn ing can be easily regulated by the dampers, opening the upper door, or by covering a part or the whole with ashes, to be raked off or shaken out as necessary. For the cooking stove or range, with three tons of moderately small “stove-coal” size, we buy one ton of “chestnut” or “nut” size, to be used in kindling, in starting up afresh quickly, and when only a small fire is wanted for a short time. For the largest heating furnace we use “egg” size (not lump), and with each four or five tons, one ton of stove size, and half a ton of chestnut size—the smaller sizes for kindling and renewing, and when but little lire is required—regulating consump tion with dampers, ash covering, or stop ping port of the grating.

Holloway’s Pills.— These Pills are more efficacious in strengthening a debilitated consti tution than any other medicine in the world. Persons of nervous habit of body, and all who are suffering from weak digestive organs, or whose health has become decayed by billions affections, disordered stomach, or liver com plaints, should lose no time in giving these admirable Pills a fair trial. Cough, colds, asthma, or shortness of breath, are also within the range of the senative powers of this very remarkable medicine. The cures effected by these Pills are not superficial or temporary, but complete and permanent. They ate as mild they are efficacious, and may be given, wit confidence to delicate females and young chil dren.—Advt..
