The moat fruitful sources df 'fires aro—Uio careless use of matches, candle flame coming in contact with window curtains or bedhanginga, the mismanagement of kerosene lamps, and the leaving of ordinary household lamps untended. Matches should always bo kept on a high shelf out of the reach of ohildren. When employed in stores, warehouses and factories, they should be protected from mice by means of proper metal-boxee. Care should be taken not to drop unlightcd matches, nor to throw down unextinguished matches carelessly on the floor. Never leave a lighted candle unwatched near hanging drapery, especially if there bo an open window in the room. Reading in lierl liyi-anale light is a practice very much to nevor be suffered to remain after the inmates of the house are asleep. Gas should be turned off at the main when not in use. In case an escape should bo strongly smelt, turn off" at once from the main and set open the doors and windows, but on no account take a lighted candle into the room till the biholl has passed off. Never pile up partially burnt wood against the chimney; scores of houses havo been burned in this way in New Zealand. Nevor put firewood inside the fender or on the stove to dry. Paper, clothing, or similar combustible matorial should never be left near the grate. Ashes should never be thrown away against a wooden building, or kept in a wooden box or barrel. The above hints relate to the prevention op fire. When unfortunately a fire does occur, remember that wet blankets and rugs economise the supply of water, and are more effectual in preventing the spread of fire than water simply thrown on, and at the same time cause less damage to furniture. In Uio hurry and confusion of a fire doors and windows are too apt to be thrown open ; they should be kkpt shut as much as possible. Fire can only spread rapidly when it is plentifully supplied with air. Have your chimneys regularly swept, at fixed intervals; at least once in threo months. WHAT TO DO AFTER A FIRE. The assured must use his best endeavours to save and protect his property during the fire and afterwards, and until an officer oi the Insurance Company arrives, he should act precisely as he would if he hod no insurance whatever, i.e., do all in his power TO I'UEVENT FUKTIIER LOSS OK DAMAGE. This is especially necessary where the loss is on merchandise or chattels, it being a mistake to suppose that goods damaged by or in con sequence of a fire must bo allowed to remain in the chaotic condition into which a fire generally throws them, to Await inspection by tho 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 prevont further shrinkage of values. After this they should be straightened and assorted, the damaged separated from the sound, and the whole correctly invoiced. The policies make this a pari of tho duty devolving upon tho assured, anc prompt, intelligent compliance with this condition is calculated to facilitate tho adjustment of losses. As tho goods paved from a fire belong to the assured they cannot be abandoned to the Underwriters, but the Companies are liable, for all damage thereto so far as Ul9 policies will reach. WHAT TO DO BEFORE A FIRE. Effect a policy of Insurance with the NEW ZEALAND INSURANCE COMPANY, where every description of Insurances aio taken at Lowest Ratesov Premium. GEORGE P. PIERCE.
