FIRE

For genuine real good downright fun
give us down town fire. There
are, first, the firemen, dancing about
like bowling dervishes. Then there
is the crowd that always gathers to
look on and encourage the firemen
by yelling enthusiastically all the
time. In this crowd there are GER
tain characters which are never con-
gregated together anywhere but at n
fire. There is, for instance, the man
whe first seed it" He is usually
about AZ in number, and he always
begins with II was a standin jist at
the fur corner of the block, when |

mnders of the fust floor. Say l, hello,
this is fire. Then runs down."
sc. Then there is the man with
the axe, who batters down the door.
Nothing but smashing the house up
will save it, in his opinion. He
knows all about it. You can't tell
him anything about how to deal with
fire. This man, when he is not
giving orders, or stopping for minute
to heave piano overheard, stalks
about with the axe stuck in the back
of his belt, which adds greatly to his
ferocious appearance, Besides him,
there is the man whose soul pants for
ladder. "For Gods sake where
is there LADDER" "Ain't any of you
got ladder?'' Gin your vest pocket)
He generally falls down grating,
and Injuries his knees. And then,
again, there is the man who knows
all about the insurance. He usually
averages about SO per cent of the
crowd. The relations of the owner
of the house on fire make up a re-
spectacle contingent. 1t has been
rec,,ored that he has five brothers.
in-law, fourteen uncles, ninety-two
nephews, and one hundred and fifty
three cousins. The accident re-
porter is, of course, on the scene
when any respectable fire takes place,
and he is sober enough to find his
way to it. Then there is man who
carries up the blight of the hose.
He inevitably gets capsized by the
coils, which is the cause of intense
amusement to the crowd. Finally,
the energetic policeman is there,
alternately cutting small boys and
surveying the fire with look of
grand and gloomy gravity. Who
will say, after all this, that there is
no fun at fire?-5yC7aey B"iietine.

THE PHENOMENA OF DEATH.

A Philadelphia physician has made
special study of the phenomena of
death, both through his personal OBJ
servations and those of others, and
his conclusion is that the dissolution
is painless. 81 mean," he explains,
that it approaches as unconsciously
as sleep. The soul leaves the world
as painlessly as it enters it. What
ever be the cause of death, whether
by lingering malady OF sudden vio-
lence, dissolution comes either
through syncope or asphyxia. In
the latter case, when resulting from
disease, the struggle is long protrac-
ted, and accompanied by all the
visible marks of agony which the
imagination associates with the clos
ing scene of life. Death does not
strike all the organs of the body at
the same time, and the lungs are the
last to give up the performance of
their functions. AS death APP
proaches, the latter gradually become
more and more oppressed; hence the
rattle. Morris the contact sufficiently
perfect to change the black venous
into the red arterial blood. An I'M
prepared fluid consequently issues
from the lungs into the heart, and is
then transmitted to every other organ
in the body. The brain receives it,
and its energies appear to be lulled
thereby into sleep generally tranquil
sleep-filled with dreams which impel
the dying to murmur out the names
of friends and the occupations and
recollections of life

CELERY in Winter.

Many people grow celery for family
use, who find it very difficult to keep it
for winter. the chief difficulty being to
prevent its rusting. Now, if kept out
of doors, there is not much trouble. but
laid by, in almost any form in the root
cellar, celery viii rarely last very long
in good condition. Usually, amateurs
make the mistake of having it all
earthed up together at once; whereas,
to keep well late in winter. the earth
ing up must be deferred as late as pos
sibe. and only enough to keep the
stalks from spreading and getting out
of shape. For market purposes. the
earliest here is usually dug in July, and
it is generally somewhat smaller and
inferior in other respects TO what may
be called the main crop. which comes in
late in September, and on through the
months of October and November. after
which the winter crop may be said to
begin.
In this neighborhood, where large
quantity Is grown. it is not safe to have
much OF il unprepared in winter quar-
tiers later than the middle of November.
The opposite practice will sometimes
cost the grower great loss by a single
frost. 1t is not because celery fails to
stand several degrees of cold, say ten or
fifteen. but it is unsafe to risk much
mere than this. This is particularly
true of that in the best condition for
late keeping, having the green much

Ii not certain as to this for a depth
equal to the habits of the celery,
it is necessary to raise the plants above
surrounding level. Choose dry day,
take up 81 the celery, with what roots
and soil will cling. Make a trench the
depth the celery is high, and wide
enough TO form bed that will hold
say dozen stalks. Set them in this
trench as nearly perpendicular as pos
sible. and as close together as they will
stand; pack soil just enough to these
to keep the next row apart, which pro-
coed to place in the same way as the
first. and so on until all are in position.
When completed, one has bank of
celery and earth, with the tops of
celery lust peepiug out. Here it may
remain until signs of very sharp frost
appear. when some litter must be placed
over every part of the bank, sufficient
to keep the frost from penetrating
more than Few inches into the soil.
Yet there must not be so heavy cover
ing as to cause any danger of heating.
For small family beds, instead of a
dozen stalks wide, the trench may be
made only three. or a quantity to suit
the demand. BY this means, very
small and late celery is often put away
and sold. or used in the family late in
the winter or in early spring.-PrGirie

there is no natural shelter, a hedge or

Profits in Drugs.

There have been two important
changes in the drug business within
the past few years. In the first place.
the scope of the drug store has been
enlarged. In old times the term "drug
store" indicated an establishment
where simply drugs were kept. Now
you can go to many drug stores and
purchase cigars. tobacco, canes. UNI
brellas, tea, coffee, confectionery, and
many kinds of fancy articles. Some
say that druggists have been forced
into selling these goods on account of
the competition they have had to con-
tend against in the sale of patent med
icines by dry goods establishments and
book stores, and because some of their
own number sell the patent, or pro-
prietary. medicines. below the regular
marked price. There is much truth in
this statement. but think there is an
other reason to account for the prac-
tice. and that is the increased rate of
rent. In former times the item of rent
was not so great as it is now, aid the
druggist could make good living by
combining himself to drugs proper.
Now the expense for rent is matter
for serious financial consideration. 1t
is true that the business yields large
per centage of profit, but the total
sales are comparatively small. At one
time, when the calling was confined to
its legitimate sphere, the profit was
fifty per cent. Now the average rate
of profit is probably twenty-five or
thirty per cent.-George j. Mansen. IN
