An evidence of the solidarity of our business here and ol the unlimited possibilities of expansion are instanced by the establishment of the Bank of Commerce and a branch of tbe Swift Packing Co., both institutions having very good reasons for opening up here. General progress is the key note of the city internally, the fraternal societies, churches, and other benevolent institutions all show a marked intense over last year.

The subject was alluded to at the annual meeting of the Victoria Fruit Growers' Association nnil wc are glad to note that it will receive the attention it deserves al. lhe hands of a strong committee of that organization."

This is a preparation which oan be made at home at a trilling cost and should be kept on bund. Dissolve twenty pounds of common sail und ten pounds of nitrate ot ammonia in seven gallons of water. Pour this into i|iturt bottles of thin glass and lire grenndes are at hand ready for use. These bottles must be tightly corked and sealed to prevent evaporation, and in case of lire they must be thrown near the Humes, so us to break and liberate the gas contained, At least two dozen of these bottles ihould lie ready ior an emergency. In this' connection it is well In remember lhat water on burning oil scatters tho Humes, but that Hour will extinguish it. Suit thrown upon u fire, if the ohimney is burning, will deaden tbe blaze. If u lire once gets under headway unl prompt exit becomes n necessity, a silk handkerchief dipped in water and wrapped about the mouth und nostrils will prevent .suffocation Irom smoke; (ailing this, a piece of wet flannel will answer. Should smoke Iill the room, recall your physics—remember thut smoke goes lirst to the top of the room and last to the Hour.
