and the fire was clearly under control.
The area between Clark and State and
Harrison and Twelfth was in great part
occupied by colored people. A large
number of these were not at home when
the tire broke out they having gone to a
Sunday school picnic in the morning to
Colehour, on the Michigan Southern
Railroad. 1t is almost impossible to
describe the scenes that occurred when
these people arrived at about seven
o'clock in the evening and found them
selves without home and their savings
of many years swept away. The men
looked sadly ut the devastated spots
which they called their homes when they
left, and silent tears ran down their
checks; the women were more demon
strative and loudly lamented and be
walled their losses, refusing TO he com
torted by sympathetic friends who
offered them temporary shelter.

mutiicd thud, and IA scattering pun OF
smoke and broken glass flew out OF the
front of the store into the street. Not Il
brick was disturbed, nor even the glass
of the adjoining stores broken. The
floors were made into kindling-w wood and
the fire was started at the bottom of the
building instead of the top. The result
was, that in five minutes the whole build
ing was a roaring mass of flames of
such intensity that Carriers build
ing, just east of Van Buren, street, fol-
lowed it, rs also did the buildings on the
north side opposite. This was the key
to the fire, and it was evident that if the
flames obtained control of the block on
Wabash avenue between Van Buren, and
Jackson streets there would he little
hope OF stopping them at all.
The farce Of putting charge of forty
pounds of powder in Il loose blast into a
solid brick building was repeated in the
block occupied by Boomer u jerks, and
the same disastrous effects resulted.

Coloring Cheese.

ONE of the means employed TO give
cheese a rich Cream-color is to expose the
curd before and after sailing to the air
instead of hurrying ii into the hoop or
press as is usual with the majority OF
dairymen. Every Cheese-maker must

by the PARTICLES of Curd that have acct
dentallv remained out of the hoop and
exposed during the day to the atmos
phcre. This is the precise color desired
10y the dealers and in warm weather an
exposure long enough for the desired
color is practicable, and the appearance
of the curd can be materially changed
for the better by letting it remain in the
vat or tub until it has acquired the
proper temperature for the press. 1t is
always preferable to cool curd in this
way instead of using water or cold
whey on the Curd as is sometimes done
for this purpose, as these last have
tendency to impoyerish the
cheese by washing out a portion of
its richness, besides iniuring somewhat
its flavor Fine flavor, quality, and the
proper texture in cheese are important
requisites 20 ready sales and good prices.

The PerfOrating Power of Roots.

IT is indeed wonderful how easily the
roots of plants and trees bore through
| hard, impaCted soils in search of nourisb-
ment. They use for this purpose a sort
OF aWl, OF immense power, situated at the
end of the root, and capable, with the aid
of the other root machinery, of thrustinr
aside heavy weights and getting through
almost any distractions Yet the awl
consists only of IA mass of microscopic
absorbent cells formed by protoplasm or
| vegetable mucus-the fluid in which vital
action is first set up The roots of the
elm and the maple will bore through the
hardest soil of walks or streets enter
drains, Irvine about water pipes, and pen
citrate through the seams of stone and
brick structures The roots of some
plants have been known to pass through
eighteen inches of solid brick work, and
make their appearance in IA wine-cellar
below. Plants have a vast power in over
coming obstacles, when foraging for food
They are like a hungry animal which no
fences can restrain when there is food
beyond. The movements of roots in soils
proceed on certain principles of utility in
connection with the welfare of the plant,
Some need much more moisture than
others, and the roots will drive through
rocks to obtain it; others need silicious
food, and will penetrate through clay
bank to reach the desired foraging ground.
The urgency with which nature drives
plants and animals in pursuit of food is
almost irresistible.-J Of ChemistrY
SHEEP ON FARM.-The New York
World says, in answer to correspond
emit: 1t certainly is profitable to keep
sheep on a farm if rightly managed
even though the price of wool is low
They are scavengers on a farm-death to
all weeds and shrubs that are an annoy
ance to the tidy farmer. Besides, the
spring lambs, if careful selection of
breeds is made, will be found profitable
to SELL especially the males, in the mar
ket. Americans are eating more and
more mutton yearly. The object of the
shepherd should be to adapt his sheep
husbandry to the wants of the market
nearest him-grow the kind of wool that
sells the best; or if the carcass is more
in demand, grow the sheep which make
the most and best meat in the shortest
time, always taking into account hardi-
ness and easiness of keep.

A RECENT moralist has affirmed that the

McSwords hes been one OF the most

him tell bow, some twenty years ago,
he brought a bushel OF choice grapes
to the Wheeling market for retail, but
found no purchasers, and gave away
his stock. Gradually demand for
grapes sprung up and increased year

were called for every season.
He was a genial and large hearted
