The secret of the hand fire grenades
is out. An exchange suggests that the

at a very little expense. Here is its J
statement : "The liquid contained in the :
fancy bottles called 'hand grenades' and J
used as fire extinguishers , is made by J
dissolving a pound of common salt and '
half a pound of sal ammoniac in two *
quarts of water. This preparation costs
very little to manufacture , and any
child can make it Every well regu
lated family should have a few quarts
made up and hung around the house ]
where it can be reached at a moment's <
notice. When such a bottle , which is ]
kept well corked , is broken over a fire , t
it generates.a gas that-acts as animme- ]
diate and effectual extinguisher. Any
old bottles or jugs that break easily ]
when thrown will answer the purpose. " <

Irrigation is the quickest and surest
solution of the question , "What shall
the harvest be ? " Every citizen owes
it to himself to become posted on the
subject of irrigation. The completion
of the proposed McCook ditch means
everything to our farmers and business
men. It is not a chimerical scheme ,
as any one will discover upon intelli
gently informing himself , but full of
promise of prosperity , sure and con
tinuous.
We Nebraskans think the weather is
hot , but if reports are true , it is not
half so bad here as in Missouri. Frank
Percy , editor of the Sheridan ( Mo. ) Ad-
vance deposes and says that the hot
weather has melted all the leads and
slugs in his office , scorched the devil's
whiskers , cracked the surface of his im-
posing stone , reduced his job press from
a half to a quarter medium , burned up
hisbook containing a list of delinquents ,
and in short has played sad havoc all
around.

irrigating ditch than at present.
Through the representations of Engi

over the ditch , a Chicago capitalist is
now on the ground , and he gives encour-

enterprise can easily be secured in the

We are all curious aud it is surprising
how curious we are to know the way other
people live , especially well-known people.
For several months we have been treated to
glimpses into "Some Homes Under the Ad-
ministration , " in Washington , in a fine series
of beautifully illustrated articles in Demok-
est's Family Magazine. In the August
Number ( just arrived ) , Postmaster-General ,
Wanamaker's mansion is tlirown open to us , ,
and we are charmed with its beauties. The ,
handsomely executed illustrations giveusev-
ery detail as accurately as would a personal j
view , and it is a great pleasure to stroll witli
the writer and artist through the elegant
apartments and the famous picture-gallery ,
the latter containing some of the rarest works (
of art in America. This August number
should be seen by everybody , if for this feati i
ure alone ; but it contains other features :
equally interesting , not the least of which is
an account of "The Oberammergau Passion- :
Play , " which is illustrated not only with a (
picture of the Bavarian village where the play
is now being enacted , but also with many of
the tableaux shown in this historical perform
ance. 'There is also a complete novelette by
QueenElizabeth of Roumania ( " 'Carmen Syl-
va" ) , preceded by her portrait and fine illus
trations of her summer castle , and boudoir.
The other articles and stories are all of the
highest order , and beautifully illustrated ,
forming a Midsummer Number of rare merit ,
which is enhanced by a sea-shore water-color
frontispiece of artistic value. Published by

The report in circulation , last week , to the MM
effect that all the conductors and brakeraen M %
residing [ at Oxford would be ordered to M %
change [ their headquarters to St. Joseph , H
proves to have been correct. Some of the M %
families will move.tiiis weekand tiie remain- M
ing ones will follow in a few days. There H
are ' six crews on the division. The reason H
assigned for the change is that tiie lay-over M
is much longer at the other end of the run , M
and therefore more satisfactory to tiie em- H
ployes to make their homes there. Oxford M
Standard. M %
