Canned Food and Health.

1t is denied that occasionally poisons are
introduced accidentally in the process of SOL
dering tin cans used in preserving Prof.
Edward 5. Wood, M. D., who examined the
canned vegetables for the Massachusetts,
State Board of Health, did not report a sin
gle case of anything detrimental found in
American canned goods, but out of thirty
two samples of imported French vegetables
reported twenty-five showing the presence
regards this practice, even such eminent
French authorities as Pasteur sanction it as
harmless, although American packers of
vegetables do not use it at all. Canned
goods have done more to improve the Ameri-
of anti-scorbutic food at all seasons of the
year than any other item in our food supply.

FIRE LAST NIGHT.
The Portland Stone Ware company's
Coal Sheds Burned.

AT TWENTY-FIVE minutes of nine o'clock last
night an alarm of fire was pulled from box
"a, calling the department to the coal sheds
located on the marginal way not far from
the foot of Wilmot street. When the en-
gines arrived the sheds were all ablaze and
the flames that rose high in the air illuminat-
ed the entire eastern part of the city and
their reflection shown brightly on the houses
of that part of the city that slopes toward
the bay.
The fire started in an unoccupied fish
house that was situated close to the eastern
side of the coal shed and a fresh easterly
wind favored the destruction that followed.
The fire burned rapidly and was intensely
hot The smoke was carried away over the
bay and the sparks fell into the water and
were extinguished. Owing to the wind, had
not the shed been remote from any other
building, great confagration would have
resulted. Col. Moore's dredge, the FreepeIt
lay alongside the shed when the fire broke
out, and had the tide been out, this, too,
would lave been burned. As the bay was
flooded at the time the crew found no diff
Guilty in moving the dredge to a place of safe
ty.
In an amazingly short time the flames had
eaten their way into the centre of the shed,
and at o'clock the entere roof fell. Fiji
teen minutes later nothing:but great heap
of burning coal in the center and the heav-
Ter timbers that formed the sides of the shed
remained. The flames attracted hundreds
of curious people who fingered until the
roof and walls were heap of smouldering
ruins.
Beyond where the coal sheds stood are the
clay sheds owned by the Portland Stone
Ware Company, but these were saved. The
coal shed was owned by Lorenzo Taylor and
the coal by the Portland Stone Ware Com
pany whose loss cannot be estimated be-
cause it was impossible to ascertain last
night how much of the coal was burned
The shed was well insured. Mr.. Winslow
said last night that, judging from what he
could learn from those who were present
when the fire first started, it was incendiary.
The shed contained about 600 tons of coal
which was insured for $1,000 with Prentiss
Loring.

The Fraternity Primary at Old or.
chaYd


Fortunately for the Fraternity Primary,
last weeks fog ended in bright and warm
Saturday for their picnic.
The responsibility and command of all the
boys was given to the officers of Co. A-mere
boys themselyes-who joined the Primary
at its start four years ago. and now are
repaying the interest that has been taken
in them by constant care of the younger
boys.
Mr.. Furber put three cars at the disposal
of the Primary, who filled them even to three
on a seat and heads and waving handker-
chiefs were thrust out of every window until
the train started and the order "Heads in,
was given They found the ride to Old Or
chard very exciting, and on their arrival
marched to the camp grounds, where bar
rel of crackers and two large cheeses took
the edge off their appetites; then they scat
tered to the woods and beach until the pre-
parations for dinner began. They gathered
round the platform and watched the cakes
and sandwiches put into the plates in sill
ence, but when the pastry was added the cry
OF turn-him-overs" arose.
AT length the two hundred plates were
nlled, the drum beat, aud at the command of
Capt. Flaherty the hungry boys formed ST.
lently into companies and marched slowly
across the preachers stand--where hungry
souls are more usually fed-to receive their
food.
The afternoon was spent in playing base
pail, bathing and petting tame seal on the
beach, and the boys came home at 5 o'clock
after very successful day and without any
accidents,
