About 10 O'Clock on Tuesday night an
alarm Of fire created CONSERVATION IN this
little city. Runners, crying fret FIRE went
to all sections, and the ringing of others than
the Catholic Church bell gave the impression
that the Gre was dangerous and extensive
one.
The alarm was caused by fire, commando.
ted TO the telegraph Office, at the depot, from
a stove. The office is frame, and the fire
must have been burning some time before
discovered. 1t had created so much heat
and smoke that all the paint on the inside
was blsteted and ruined, aud the windows
were black with smoke, The flames finally
burned through the side Of the building,
and il was then that the FIRE was discov.
cred. But for this timely discovery the Fire
Department would have had difficulty in
saving the depot and protecting the extensive
store and warehouse Of Grimes 4 Weaver aud
the First Nalional Bank property The De-
pariment was early on the ground, and with
their new chemical extinguisher subdned the
flames IN a few moments.

The eyesight of the Car is said to have

The eyesight of the Car is said to have
greatly improved by q simple remedy consist
ing Of a glaznoi douche, or eye fountain,
throwing a tiny jet Of delicate spray a yard
and q half into the air. The temperature of
the water is fixed at Sc degrees Fahrenheit,
aud the spray is allowed to beat against the
eyelids for ninety seconds, night and morn
ing. The remedy seems at first sight ridicu-
lousy simple, but it has for several years been
successfully employed in Russia. For the
literary man or jaded beauty, going with weak
and weary eyes to rest, there is said to be
nothing more refreshing than to bend for a
minute or two over a glaznoi douche. The
eyes recover strength in an amazing manner
from the fine but powerful impact of the in
vigorating spray, and there is none of that
Oppressive reaction succeeding the use Of
tonics.
