THE FIRE AT CoNsTANTINoPLE. Later par.
ticulars of the fire at Constantinople are re-
ceived by cable. The ravages of the confla-
grafton were fearful-mosques, bazaars, dwell
lings, theatres and other buildings being con.
sumed with terrible rapidity. The fire, un.
checked, sped quickly on its devouring march
through the most populous and wealhiest com.
mcrcial quarter of the district. Shops and
houses were wrapt in the fiery flames and
burned into ashes.
The scene was of fearful grandeur, present
ing the aspect of a huge furnace The Golden
Horn and Bosphorus hangs with thick pal
of smoke, and the city propers is-coscred
The ashes OF the burned district
Many of the escaping inhabitants and nun
bers OF those occupied in tearing down houses
to prevent the spread of the flames were bur.
led in the falling masses OF stone and beams.
The fire proved a terrible holocaust. The
houses of the British Embassy and the Ameri.
can and Portug uese Consulates were involved
IN the destruction, and theatres, churches
mosques, and houses ard shops by thousands
shared the same fiery fate.

Three Requisites Of Health.


If all the sickly people in the world were to take

nor sufficient lumber OF the robust to nurse

to health, VIZ: good appetite, easy digestion, and
the ability t. sleep soundly. Seven eighths Of the
many thousands who suffer from Indispositi"n, yet
do not suffer under serious disease, complain that
they '.can't eat" that their stomachs "out Of
order" or that they, "don't sleep WE'LL" For this
class of ailments few persons think of calling in
physician. Nor is it necessary, inasmuch as a
