Scarcely day passes in which de-
structive fire does not occur some
where on the Pacific Coast. In few
hours whole villages are reduced to
ashes and many people left homeless
and destitute. Alturas, in Modoc
county, California, was burned last
week, ana the Rext day Independence,
in Inyo county, California, which IS
also on the eastern slope of the Sierra,
was reduced to ashes. This was fol-
lowed by fire at Dayton on the Car
son river, which destroyed 100000
worth of property. on which there was
only $4,000 insurance. In nearly
every instance these fires result from
carlessness. TO this sad list of casual
ties we add that which took place at
Eureka on the 9Th, where over $15.-
600 worth of property was destroyed.
The people of Taylor should take
warning from these lessons and use all
their endeavors to prevent repetition
of the casualties above cited. We are
in greater danger than any of them, as
we have no means of fighting the fiery
element should it once start. Fifty
thousand dollars of taxable property
would be destroyed In this town
should such a misfortune occur as we
have above cited, without a dollar of
insurance. Our people cannot be too
careful in this dry weather, of the
danger to which all they have is sx-
posed.

Hints to BatIlers.

For the unfortunates designated as
nervous" cold bathing promises the
best results. Persons who @stake
cold" easily will find the daily bath Of
cold water q most effectual means of
prevention. Cold bathing is salutary
when a vigorous habit exists; it is in
furious when the general strength is
too feeble to admit OF reaction under
it's Influence. Those who feel weak
and depressed after bath will do
we'll to take a cup of tea or coffee;
rarely will the use of more powerful
.stimulants be indicated. Water with
a temperature of fifty degrees may be
considered as sufficiently cold for bath
ing it may be used at any degree below
that point, but it cannot be borne
long. The cold bath is unsafe in old
age, in great dibility, when serious or
ganic disease exists, and in many of
the acute affections. In kidney dis
orders it is especially forbidden. When
a great mental effort is to be made,

the faculties, quicken PERCEPTIONS and
edge understanding. On leaving the

distance should be taken to quicken
circulation, and insure complete re-

Two Chicago Gamblers.

old Rounder in Chicago News: JEFF,

small way In Montana. The biggest
winning they made in the early days
was when Jeff was thrown out of one

coach tipped over in the mountains

Boycotting a Girl.

A new phase of the boycott has
made it's appearance in the little town
of Coon Rapids, Ia, where resides q
winsome little maiden OF 10 summers,
whose charms are only equalled by
the fckleness of her disposition.
Among the small boys of the village
she had been the acknowledged belle,
and feeling herself secure of all their
hearts, she has not hesitated to play
most cruelty upon their young affec-
tions, torturing them with alternate
smiles and frowns, and dropping her
latest lover the moment she espied
another whom she fancied. This sort
of thing the youthful SWANS endured
until their patience finally gave out,
and SO the other day they held q
meeting and passed the following
resolutions "Whereas, for nearly
two years, we, whose names appear
below, have been slited, dis
appointed, misgusted and ill-treated
by a heartless croquette, without
cause or provocation; therefore, be it
resolved, that we hereby, each and
every one Of us, severallY agree togive
her the grand bounce-that is to say,
have nothing to do with her, not to
look at her or smile on her, or go with
her to any party or place, or treat
her to ice cream or lemonade, and to
do everything in our power to make
her feal bad and miserable for the
period Of one year. Unfortunately,
there was one young man of IL ma
ture summers who was so astute as to
refuse to join the movement. He has
been basking ever since in the tickle
maiden's smiles without a rival, and
and it is feared that it will be neces-
:sary to abandon the boycott in order
to drive him from the field.
