ANOTHER FIRE! WHAT TO DO~IN CASK OF FIRE. The mo3t fruitful sources of firea are-the careless use of matches, candle flame coining inlcontact with window curtains or bednangIngs. the mismanagement of kerosene lampa. and tho leaving of ordinary household lamps untended. Matches should always be kept Dn a high shelf out of the reach of children. When employed in stores, warehouses and factories, they should bo protected from mice by means of proper metal-Doxes. Care should be taken not to drop unlighted matchos, nor to throw down unextinguished matches carelessly on the floor. Never leave a lighted candle unwatcbed near hanging drapery, especially if there be an open window in the room. Reading in bed bycandle light is a practice very much to be condemned, and a burning candle should never be suffered to remain after the inmates of tho house are asleep. Gas should be turned off at the main when not in uae. In case an escape should be strongly smelt, turn off at once from the main and set open tho doors and windows, but on no account take a lighted candle into tho room till tho smell has passed off. Never pile up partially burnt wood against the chimney; scorea of houses have been burned in this way in New Zealand. Never put firewood inside the fonder or on the stove to dry. Paper, clothing, or similar combustible material should never be left near the grate. Ashes should never be thrown away against a wooden building, or kept in a wooden box or barrol. The above hinta relate to the prevention of fire. When unfortunately a fire does occur, remember that wet blankets and rugs economise the supply of water, and are more effectual in preventing tho apread of fire than wator simply thrown on, and at the same tune cause less damago to furniture. In the hurry and confusion of a iire doora and windows are too apt to be thrown open ; they should be kept shut aa much as possible. Fire can only spread rapidly when it is plentifully supplied with air. Have your chimneys regularly swept, at fixed intorvala; at least once in three months. WHAT TO DO AFTER A FIRE. The assured mußt use his best endeavours to save and protect his property during the fire and afterwards, and until an officer of the Insurance Company arrives, ho should act precisely as he would if he had no insurance whatevor, i.e., do all in his power TO PREVENT FURTIIER LOSS OR DAMAGE. Thi» is especially necessary where the loss is on merchandise or chattels, it being a mistaljs to suppose that goods damaged by or in cosBcqucnce of a fire must bo allowed to remain in the chaotic condition into which a fire generally throws them, to await inspection by the adjuster. On the contrary, they should first of all be removed (if necessary) to a safe, dry place, and everything done that is requisite to prevent further shrinkage of values. After this tlioy should be straightened and assorted, the damaged separated from tho Bound, and tho whole correctly invoiced. The polici is make thia a part of tho duty devolving upon the assured, and prompt, intelligent compliance with this condition ia calculated to facilitate tho adjustment of losses. As the goods caved from a flro belong to tho assured they cannot bo abandoned to . tho Underwriters, but tho Companies are liable for all damage thereto so far as tb.9 policies will reach.
