Bolink's Amateur Fire Bri? gade.?Mr. Bolink owns and runs a cooper shop near tbo House of Correction, and as lie keeps a dozen men at work, bo is bound to have his shop run on "system." Tho other day he was reading a news? paper article in regard to the pre? vention of conflagrations. Tho arti? cle advised all employers to lay out regular programme of what should be done when a lire was discovered in the shop, and drill his hands until they imderstoodjit. He bought fifty feet of hose for the penstock, detailed a man to uso it in case of fire, and then instructed each other man and boy just what they should do when an alarm was given. One was to roll out ban-els, another to throw staves through a window, and each one knew what to jump for. This was all right, and Mr. Bolink had a good mind to cancel his insurace policies and depend on his local firo brigade. Before taking this step, however, it occur? red to him to give his programme a trial. He had a little curiosity to see if his employes would spring to their post according to instructions, and he studied a plan. Yesterday morning he passed up stairs, kicked a pile of shavings together on an old piece of zinc, touched a match to them, and next minute ran down stairs, crying out: "The shop is on fire! Fire! five! fire!" The man who was to use the hose grabbed it up, threw it out of the window, and jumped after it, shouting "fire!" until he was heard three blocks off. The man who was to save the tools threw an adz and hit Mr. Bolink in the back, and then hit him again with a draw shave. As Mr. Bolink was pawing around on the floor, the man who was to save the ready-made work rolled five pork barrels over him, kicked in the heads of three more, and then dug out through the back door. One man savod a peice of board six feet long; another took up a stave and broke two windows before he fled, while the third threw a hammer at the clock, utter? ed a wild shriek, and kicked opeu the side door. In two minutes tho shop was clear of every one but Mr. Bolink, and he was crawling out from among the barrels, when steamer No. 0 came galloping down. The smoke was rolling up through the roof, the boys yelling "fire!" and the firemen were determined to savo that cooper shop or perish in the attempt. Mr. Bolink heard the calling to "git them hose around hyar," and to "play her up to eighty-five," and he got to the door and shouted: "Hold on, gen? tlemen, thero is no fire here!" "Git oyt'n the wav!" cried the pipemen, "yer's yer mineral water!" "It's only a joke, gentlemen; there is no?" Mr. Bolink was shouting, when the stream of water lifted iijjnjoyor the barrels out of the bacjt doorf ^^re he sat down on a broken snave-4iordo until his cooper shop had been filled with water, and tho shavings had burnt out. During the 'afternoon yes? terday, his whole force were en? gaged in emptying barrels, wring? ing out draw-shaves, j hanging 'up broad-axes to dry, and otherwise getting, tho shop on a working b asis. Joe Howard, of the New York Star, says that Beechor has such a kindly heart, that, if a party of burglars were to break into his ho use Bome night to steal every thing ho had, he would turn to his wife and say: "Ma, you'd better give these people some coffee and cakes." "Ma" would be very apt to drop some poison in the coffee, however. She in not quite so emo? tional as "Pa." IK EXCHANGE F?ll, COTTjON.
