sTRUcT1vE FIRE. - A fire

DE STRUCTIvE FIRE. - A fire
broke out in the Everett House
stables about quarter after twelve
O'Clock Sunday night, which, but for
the fact that it was wet calm night
would have been disastrous con-
flagration. The flames spread very
rapidly and lighted up the entire
town and the country for miles
around. The fremen were prompt
ly on the spot after the alarm was
given land had the fire under control
in less than twenty minutes after
they got to work.
The building was used by the
Ronk Bros. as an agricultural depot
in which there was a large quantity
of machinery in store, all of which
was consumed with the building.
Mr.. Luther Miller also had about
$4,000 worth of wool in the building
which, although not a total loss, is
so much damaged that he will prob
ably lose from $500 to 500. He had
no insurance. The Ronk Bro. has
an insurance in Phoenix of So, 500 on
their machinery. The building was
insured in the Ktna for $500. The
Ronks had a horse burned up, on
which there was no insurance.
For time it looked almost impos,
sible to save the adjoining buildings
some of them in close proximity to
the burning stable-but nothing
seems impossible to the Martinsburg
Fire Department when their appa'
ratus is in working order. The sta
BILE was burned to the ground, but
the buildings adjoining, some of
them less than five feet away, were
all saved, by the promptness, ener-
gy, tact and heroism of the fire lad
dies. A Drawer or more determined
and active set of firemen no city can
boast Of.
There is no clue to the origin of
the fire.

The question Of license on billiard
tables came up in a test case at this
term of the Court. Keepers of bill
lard tables have heretofore paid
no license on their tables, under
the belief that they were not re-
quired to do so, when no money is
paid for the game. The Court de-.
cided that where a billiard table
was kept for public use or resort,
whether any charge was made or
not for playing upon it, that the ow.
ner must take out license. The
question arose on the fact that the
owners of billiard saloons in this place
not making any charge for playing,
they supposed they did not have
to take out license.

The Sultan and Turkish Women.

1t is a fixed idea with English mis-
s%ionaries that in proportion as they
Europeanize the costume Of their dusky.
converts they improve their morality.
1t may be SO, for of course the African
or Polynesian Christian does not adopt
the latest Partisan fashions, bat a very
different idea prevails in Turkey. There
the adoption OF the dress of the intidel
is regarded as a sure token of demon
%alization, and from time to time a pa
ternal sovereign issues an energetic de-
cree against the departure from the
simplicity of the fashions of Islam.
Such a decree has just been published
by the Chief Of the Police of Constan-
tinople. 1t is addressed to the Moham-
medan women of the city, and orders
them within a months time to leave of
wearing European cloaks and other ar
ticles OF Western apparel, including the
thin transparent veil which does not
sufficiently hide the face. After the
month is passed, they must return to
the modest garb OF Turkey, and every
woman disregarding these rules is to be
heavily fined. The decree states fur
Their that it has been made according
to instructions from the Sultan and
Sheikh-ul-Islam, who are both deeply
grieved at the mania among Turkish
women for European dress. -PaN-MaU

Of milk swallowed suddenly will form
in the stomach a lump of dense, cheesy
curd. Under the action of the stomach
this will turn over and over like a heavy
weight, and as the gastric JUICE can
only attack its surface it digests very
slowly. The same milk taken with a
biscuit, a slice of toast, a roll or a
saucerful of porridge forms a porous,
friable clot, which breaks up eyery time
that the stomach turns it over, and
through which the gastric Juice can
easily pass. Therefore, milk taken with
breadstuffs is much more digestible than
BY itself. If the milk be still found too
strong a little boiling water poured into
it and a piece of sugar added makes il
still more easily digested. = Chicago
