THE NASHVILLE FIRE.
The Bodies of Three Men Recovered from
the Ruins.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. March Sat 2:30 this
morning search was begun for the bodies of
the missing men in the debris of the Broad
street fire last night. The remains of young
man of about thirty years were found, and
have since been identified as those of Thomas
Womack, a moulder. A few hours later the
bodies of William Miller, boiler maker, and
John Firth, former policeman, were taken
from the ruins. The three men were crushed
to death By the falling wall of Litterer's drug
store while in the act of rescuing property
from an adjoining building during the fire,
at about 10 o'clock last night

Household Hints.

An excellent cement for fastening knife
handles may be made by taking small
quantity of Bath brick-dust and about half
the quantity of resin; reduce to a fine pow
der; fill the hole in the handle with the
mixture; heat the part of the knife to be in
serted hot, then put it in the handle and let
it remain till set.
Force must never be used to extract any,
thing from the ear. The best and safest plan
is to Meet lukewarm water rather forcibly
by means of a syringe. This will rarely be
found to fail. Should the ear have become
swollen, a little sweet oil must be poured in
and left there till the next day, when syring-
ing may be again used.
Never throw away even a small piece OF
Hamburg or Torchon; twill not fail to be of
use sometime. One way to use short bits of
insertion is to set them in the shoulder
seams of children's aprons or dresses, or
down the back seam of sleeves to enlarge
them. Pretty bits are made of pique, with a
stripe of insertion through the center
A little magnesia and water will sometimes
correct the acidity of child's stomach, and
render unnecessary any stronger medicine.
Powder a teaspoonful of the magnesia, and
put it in half glass of water; it will not dis
solve, of course, but will mix with the water
so that an infant can swallow it. Give tea
spoonful of this three times day until in
dications warrant you in disseminating it.
A beautiful toilet-set for the dressing-ca
is made by covering a large cushion with
cream-colored satin; around the edge of the
cushion put a pleating of ribbon of the
same color and a fall of lace. The lace is not
to be pleated, but gathered little. On the
top of the cushion paint in water-colors two
or three pansies, with leaves and stems to
relieve all stiffness. The bottles that help
to make up the set should be covered and
decorated to match The flowers on the
bottles need not be pansies, however

A New Railroad in Dakota.

An editorial in the Hillsboro (Dak.)
Banner intimates that a new railway
project is on the tapis, which will tap
the country, in the vicinity of Trail
county, Oak, and divide the business
now enjoyed by the Manitoba line. The
road, it is said, will be built by the Mil
waukee & st. Paul and the Northu estern
corporations. which will extend their
fields of traffic into the Red River coun-
try. The northern terminus of the Mil
waukee road is now, observes the writer,
practically at Fargo, ana aspace of TWEEN
ty-fiye miles remains to be laid to fur
nish Fargo with direct rail route via St.
Paul to Milwaukee and Chicago, com
peting with the Northern Pacific and
Manitoba roads. In addition to this, it
is believed that the projected road from
Fargo, via Grand Forks, to Pembina,
running along the west bank of Red
River, for which charter has been
granted by the Dakota legislature, is
sure to be built at an early day, and
as sure to be absorbed by the Mil
waukee roads. The supply ofcompeting
roads in that section, concludes the ar
ticle, is not equal to the demand, and as
long as such is the case, they will be
built.

corn and $4,000 bushels OF wheat, be-
sides flour, provisions, etc. 1t takes a
