Inoidsnts of the Forest Fires.

The scene was more terrible than
anything often known. The wind
increased so as in some places to
destroy buildings and actually
take people off their feet, and those
who saw 1t describe the rush of the
confiagration as hurricane OF
flame, and say that the very air
seemed to be on fire. At the viii
lage of Bad AK, where the Huron
county buildings were, it began to
grow dark in the afternoon from
smoke, and In u few hours the
pitchy blackness was like that Of
close cellar, SO that it was impos-
sible to see foot. 1t was known
that there were fires three miles
south. but there was no thought
of danger until suddenly there
came lurid glare, the fame and
wind Immediately followed, and
in 80 minutes So of the So buildings
in the place were in ashes. The
Court House was of brick, covered
with slate, and there the people
went for protection. The building
escaped destruction, and those
within 1t were saved, although
they suffered badly from heat.
There were no lives lost here. but
this was exceptional good fortune.
Reports from some places are to
horrible to read. Numbers of peo-
pie flying from danger were over
taken and died In the roads, soma
persisted miserably in wells and
other places where they had sought
M Akvy and ~ thu fnrrih1a N
few women were taken with the
pains of childbirth. Everywhere
it is Q sickenipg story of suffering
and of roasting human flesh in
every conceivable way. In some
places the heat was almost incred
IDLY intense, and the smoke
was everywhere uncomfortable
and caused many deaths by
suffocation. The work Of destruc-
ton was very uneven. Some
towns In the district escaped with
q loss which seems trifling, while
in others apparently no more ex.
posed there are but q few scatter
ing building left. the same was
true OF the Villages, some strange
ly escaping, while others were
strangely destroyed. In some
fields tho grass roots, and it is said,
the soil itself are burned SO that it
is impossible to tell whether the
land was plowed or not, while in
others near at hand crops OF grain
are left in the shock untouched.
A remarkable thing in the story
of the calamity is the presence of
mind that was everywhere shown.
The people were accustomed to
danger from fire, many of them
had been through the similar ex-
perience of 1872, and there were
fewer lives lost than might have
been expected. There seems to
have been but one panic and few
threw their lives away. Nearly all
sought to preserve themselves and
property intelligently, to have
done about the best that
was possible and very much bet.
ter than could have been ex-
pected. Domestic animals and
fowls nearly all persisted, and it is
noted that they died in groups,
each with its kind-rarely did
cows, horses or chickens die alone,
but all sought the companionshil
of their kind. Great numbers Of
birds and insects took their way tc
the lake and, overcome by the
smoke, no doubt, died and were
found floating on the surface. Cor

PHOSPHATE SOAP.
HE BEST is ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST

THE BEST soap for toilet use ever mat.
ufactured. BEST because it contains all
the excellencies of the most expensive for
eign or American soaps without their de-
fects. BEST because it combines strength
with delicacy in such way that its strong
defensive qualities do not injure the skin.
BEST because it is the result Of years OF
study and experiment in the soap man.
ufacturing business, assisted by modern
chemical discoveries. BEST because il
contains ingredients beneficial to the skin,
which unite chemically with the soap in
such manner as to increase its saponace-
GUS qualities. Every chemist familiar with
soap m manufacture knows that some ingredi-
ents which are in themselves beneficial to
he skin cannot be saponifed; some are par.
tally neutralized, while others injure the
OF the soap. There are soaps
in the market which are to
some extent beneficial to the skin, but they
are inferior articles for toilet use. PHOS-
PLATE SOAP is the ONLY article offered
to the public which combines ali the best
elements OF toilet soap with medical IN
gradients beneficial to the skin.
Ii your wife is in the habit of using Cos
metics OF any kind, advise her to give up
the pernicious practice, as tine most harm
less face powders obstruct tue pores Of the
skin and sooner or later injure the COM
piexlon, while PHOSPHATE SOAP re.
developing natural, healthy and beautiful!
hlg-
1t is an old proverb that an ounce of pre-
ventive is better than pound of cure,
Twenty-f cents invested in cake Of
PHOSPHATE SOAP will save hundreds
Of dollars in doctors bills. 1t acts as
constant disinfectant, preventing Sal,
| Rheum and other skin diseases,
II your wife will persist in tine use of cos.
| metics buy her cake of PHOSPHATE
SOAP and tell her to use it every night
| before retiring. In that Way much Of the
harm will be avoided, as the skin will
| thereby be able to retain much of ite
| natural yigUr and beauty.
No saivo or ointment can heal wound
Or sore of any kind. Every educated
physician will tell you that nature alone
can do this. PHOSPHATE SOAP, by its
cleansing, soothing and purifying qualities
gives nature a chance to act freely.
Ladies who have injured the skin by the
constant use of cosmetics may do much to
restore their faces to that beauty which
nature alone can give by constantly using
PHOSPHATE SOAP.
For all diseases of the skin use PEO3
PLATE SOAP. There is nothing like
for removing impurities and giving the skin
q healthy and natural vigor.
If you wish to make your hands soft buy
a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and when
that is gone you will buy dozen and re.
commend your friends to do the came,
