The Boston Advertiser suggests that the
recent fire having pretty thoroughly tested
the merits OF the various safes now in the
market, it is for the general interest to have
an exact examination made irto the matter
to ascertain which kind under all conditions
has stood the best and is best entitled to con-
fidence. 1t therefore recommends that the
board oftrade appoint a committee to ascer-
tain all the facts by careful inquiry and rigid
examination and report for the benefit of the
business public.

1t is SAID that plan is maturing for the

system and will bring it to the early attention
of Congress.

TEE sntsrpris!ng publishers ofthe Kenne-
bee Journal have already sent out their polite
notes to the members elect of the next Legis-
lature, requesting the favor of their respective
autobiographies for publication in their ex-
cellent paper the morning of the first day of
the session, so that each member may have
his fame sounded before him as he enters the
halls OF legislation. 1t is mournful to reflect
that in the Legislatures of the past.
"Full many gem of purest ray serene
Inc dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear;
run many flower is born to blush unseen
ana waste its sweetness on the desert air,
just because no thoughtful journalist rescued
them from oblivion by publishing in advance,
their private worth and their public services.
Now one hundred and eighty-two auto
biographies published annually will not only
develope the vastness of our wealth of great
men but will inspire the seventy odd thousand
OF Maine school boys with the great thought,
that
olives of great mon all remind u.s.
We can make our lives sublime"
If the journal could induce these writers
OF personal biography to add thereto theil
many little schemes that it would CRAFTY
them to have adopted, it would increase their
sales to double the number that any METRO
polit n paper ever issued.
1t would be convenient to the lobbyists of
some Legislatures which have been for years
brokers' shops, if these members would in a
supplemental way, add the price that they es-
Inmate their vote worth on various meas
ures. Happily for Maine this era of legisla-
ton has not vet arriy ed.

Dualin VS.. Powder.

To the Editor of the Press:
j. I. NJ, in your issue of Friday, calls the at
tention of the public to want which has
been felt by three of our large cities within the
last few years, that is to have some one whose
duty it is to blow up buildings in case of large
fires. Experience has taught us that after a
fire has gained certain Roadway it gets beyond
the control of men with use of water and
engines, and that we have got to adopt new
methods to stop it, one of which is to level
buildings and gain open space My object is to
call attention to the measure and use of certain
blasting material for that purpose which j. T.
Nj. refers to- Ii the chief engineer OF some 9TH
er person who has charge of the same could
have few cans of duain, and battery stored
IN magazine, and in case of large fire put
the same in some close part of the building
which was in danger of fire, and which was re-
CURED to be leveed to protect other buildings,
1t could be tired at any moment if needed and
gain the desired result, and if the fire was
checked by water, the dualn could be removed
with perfect safety, as the amount in bulk of
dnalin is one-tenth of what it would he in DOW
der, and it is ten times as strong By putting
one OF two cans of ten pounds each near the
walls in The cellar of building where the
gasses could be confined for "a moment, it would
level the largest building we have in our CITY.
and could be fired at a distance of a thousand
feet or more, and then not until the building
was in flames and the fire department well out
of the way. The whole cost of the battery.
wires and dualin, would not exceed 5000, and
any person could learn in a few moments the
art OF using the same; the danger in handling
dualn l consider less than in powder
Hoping thatJ L. NJ. will continue to agi-
tate the question until there is some definite
plan adopted by our city, l remain, NJ

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
sCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP,
sCHENCK's sEAWEED TONIC,

Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop cough will of
ten occasion the death of the patient 1t locks up the
liver, stops the circulation of the blood hemorrhage
follows, and in fact coggng the action of the very
organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes of
two-thirds of the cases of consumption. Many are
now complaining with dull pain in the side, the bow
els sometimes costve and sometimes to- loose, tongue
coated pain in the shoulder blade feeling sometimes
very restless and at other times drowsy; the food
that is taken lies heavily the stomach, accompau-
ed with acidity and belching of wind These symp-
toms usually originate from disordercd condition of
the stomach torpid liver. Persons SO affected if
they take one two heavy colds and if the cough in
these cases be suddenly stopped, the lungs liver and
stomach clog, and remain torpid and inactive and
before the patient is of his situation the lungs
are mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the
inevitable result.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which
does not contain any opium nor anything calculated
to check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed tonic dissolves the food, mixes
with the gastric juice of the stomach dgests easily,
nonrishes the system, and creates healthy circula-

shallow, and the patient is of a bilious habit,
