FIRE 1 iIRE! EIRE ! THE HARDEN PATENT "STAB" HAND GEENADB, (Patented August 8, 1871, ftnd August 14, 1853.) npHE original, and only practical and reliJL able Fire Extinguishing Hand Grenade known ; when thrown upon or into fire, Carbonic Aoid Gas is developed ; its effect is instantaneous and complete in fire quenohing; no deluging of goods by water; no goods permanently spoiled ; harmless to persons or olothing; has no explosive caps or ( fnseß ; is always ready -and powerful ; oonnot get out of order; it is cheap anc convenient ; a lady can u a e it easily, without fear or embarrasßmont ; there is no poisonous vapour, if it is broken accidentally . FIBE EXTINGUISHER, Thb Great Desideratum. Indorsed by the Chiefs of Fire Departments, Fire Insurance Companies, and Business Houses of Amerioa. It is not olaimed for these Fire (ExtingTiishers that thoy can take the place ot a Fire Dopartment, but simply to enable everybody to conquer incipient fires before a fire-engine could reach them, the first five minutes at a fire being worth more than as many hours afterwards. The many praotioal proofs reoeived of actual, and what threatened to be severe fires, being got under oheok, and extinguished completely, by these Harden Star Grsnadxs, are sufficient guarantees of their merit, whilst their oheapness brings them within the roach of all property-holders. These Harden Star Grenades are now to be found in the Publio Institutions, Hotels, Stores, Warehouses, and Dwellinghouseß of the United States Cities and Townships. They are to be Been in the passages of Drury Lane, The Savoy, Globe, and other Theatres, South Kensington Museums, International Inventions Exhibition, the Publio Buildings. Hotels, and Warehouses in London, and all throughout tho United Kiogdom. Wo herewith submit a few praotioal proofs as a sample : — Surrey Connty Lunatio Asylum, near Tooting, S.W., . February 26, 1585. On Saturday,' the 21st inst., some very successful experiments were made here, demonstrating the complete efnoienoy of tho Harden Star Hand Grenades in extinguishing fire. Without going into detail, I may add that tho Committee of the Asylum, in whose presence the experiments took place, were so satisfied of the value of the invention, that they ordered fifteen dozen of the Grenades for distribution throughout the Asylum. J. Strange Biggs, M.D., Superintendent. Gloucester Oil Mill, February 24, 1»83. To Mr. George Martin. Agent for the Harden Star Hand Grenade Co., Stroud. Dear Sir, — On February Ist our watchman discovered a fire at the back of our boilers. When first he saw it tho flames wore about 6 feet high. He immediately used one of your Grenades, which cheoked the flames, but finding they wore likely to break out again, he used another one, which completely put out the fire. The fire originated from tome old bagging whioh had aoonmulated, and it is a very difficult matter to put that kind of fire out, as old bags in our plaoe are always very oily.— Yours faithfully, Foster Bros, (por John D.

Assure your Life in the AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY, AND SECURE AN ANNUAL BONUS OR DIVIDEND, A Privilege whioh no other Colonial Life Office can grant its members. Be Careful that tou Select this Society, and do not be Misled bt the Similarity of Name of some of the other Younger Australian Offices. The Society can be considered quite as much a New Zealand as an Australian institution, seeing that all moneys received in 'the colony are invested here in advances on mortgago of first-class freehold securities, ' loans to members on the security of their policies, Government debentures, and freehold branch offioe premises ; and the Society is thus assisting in developing the resources of the colony. THE SOCIETY HAS ASSETS IN NEW ZEALAND SECURITIES EXCEEDING SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS ' No Other Life Office in the Coloni Can give yon such LARGE BONUSES A 8 THX AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY. And tho effect of an Annual Bonus, whioh can be taken in Cash, will be to reduce the cost of asstrranoe to the lowest possible TniTiimnni. If yon are already sufficiently assured yourself, induce your friends to follow your example. N.B.— The Security afforded by this Society to its policy-holders is unsurpassed by that of any Life Office in the world. The Sooiety has raised its limit on a single first-class life to £10,000.
