THERE is no more painful time in a woman's life than the time of transition, when the assiduous lover is passing into the matter-of-fact husband, and the water is gradually changing into the mastor. Woman, who are so much more sen

with fire. Many years ago the company began to dump its furnace refuse on the bank, and at this time six or seven acres of this made land have been formed. Cinders are often dumped while they are red hot. There is enough coal left in the refuse to afford food for a slow fire, and the cinders lie loosely enough upon each other to afford space for the necessary air. Thus all the conditions for a subterranean fire are pre- sent. Soms indications of the fire were noticed four months ago, but they were ast heeded. Upon this made land have been built the Bridge shop, 65x300, extending nearly to the bank; an addition to the pattern shop, and other smaller buildings. The Bridge shop is immediately threatened. Workmen are now busily engaged in digging deep trenches between the buildings and the heated ground. Into these trenches water is to be poured as a barricade against the fire's advance. The made land is 24 feet deep.
