The Heroine of Manipur. ‘Happily it does not often fall to the lot of any woman to be oalled upon to give proof of courage and devotion such as that recently shown by Mrs. Grimwood, wife of the late British Resident at Manipor. Mrs. Grimwood had been married only three years, and itis an open seoret that she did not like being stationed at Manipur.

He aooused her of this, but she enied it erophatically. Angered by her denial he bound and gagged her, after another, and d her flesh until, in an agony of pain, she signified that she would confess. She was loosed, and then told her husband the story of her unfaith- falnees, naming a number of men with whom she acknowledged having been inti- mate. When she had finished, Burnham, instead of swearing vengeance on the heads of the men, decided that hia wifeand he should leave town, which they did on Sat- urday.

An open grate fire is pleasant to look at, and it is a splendid thing to carry tobacco smoke and oarbonis acid gas up the chimney, thus making room for fresh air, but the grate fire Sonate the shins and leaves the espinal column to freeze. About 10 per cent. of the heat evolved by the combustion of the coal re- maing in the room and 90 per cent. goes up the chimney. The hot air from a farnace in the oellar is not equally diffased through the house. The conductors from the far- nace cham to the several registers must not be too long or the hest will escape. The registers must be near the furnace, and the parts of the house remote from the furnace are apt As the supply of air to be heated is taken n trom outdoors, the furnace system is by I ee for ventilating, but a good deal of the = goes up the chimney.
