Another Blaze.

At $40 Sunday morning an alarm of
fire was rung in from north Buckeye.
The hose company turned out and
found the fire located back of Shepherd
Brothers store. Two small stables had
caught fire, either from the fuse of an
incendiary or by accident and were
nearly destroyed. Some difficulty was
experienced in getting supply Of
water and WHEEL it came, it was too late
to do anything except save the sur
rounding property, which was done.
The stables belonged to David Blu
baugh and are total loss. They were
valued at 5000. Fortunately the
horses, carriages, etc., contained in
them were saved.
If the fire is some more of the Abb
lene fire-bugs' work, prompt measures
should be taken to teach them a lesson
that they will not soon forget. We
have had too many accidents (?) of this
nature in the past six months and the
city cannot afford to take risks of any
kind when property is in danger from
fire. In this case the buildings were
nearly new and were carefully locked
so that no other reason than incendiar-
ism can be given for the fire. A de-
termined effort should be made to bring
to justice the scoundrels who are i'm

Another Tippecanoe Man.

Samuel Freeman, of this city, is
another of the veterans who in 1916
used every endeayor to elect William
Henry Harrison and are now ready to
help young Tippecanoe land Morton
too into the White House.
Mr.. Freeman was in Pennsylvania
near Gettysburg at the time of the 1910
campaign and heard Harrison speak
several times. He says the enthusiasm
was something wonderful and resem-
bled the present excitement over Ben
Harrison, the grandson.

SATURDAYS RACES.
Some Lively Sport at the Driving

A good crowd was in attendance al
the Driving park matinee Saturday
afternoon. Considerable time was
spent in preliminary trials and scoring,
making the races too late for a report

When the races were called, the fol

mond. The race was won by the latter
after three close heats in which good
time was made.
A 800 yard dash between Tom Carl
toms gray and Will Lebold's bay was
won by the Lebold horse, it tax ing the
last two heats.
In the $40 class were: Geo. Wolf,
Ashland Boy, Langtry and Don Pulling.
The race was won by Geo. Wolf, he
capturing all three heats.
The contests were very successful in
showing what the various horses will
do at the summer meeting. Friday
afternoon next another matinee will be
given, and as the horses will have been
worked down fine and the race meeting
proper being near at hand it will be to
the interest of the drivers to see what
their flyers can do, consequently some
fast and exciting trials may be looked
for.

Neu York,s GREAT Aqacduct.

Tic new aqueduct is being built, as
most people know, in sections of about
a mile long each. Two of these were
joined recently. and it was found that
the two tunnels, begun a mile apart,
conceded exactly. In other words, the
engineers had bored toward each other
ut a great depth underground, and had
calculated each Others direction so ac-
curatcly that they were coming together
on practically the same straight line as
the axis Of the common tunnel. This is
even closer than in the case Of the

A CURIOUS DIsCOvS.
The Sensation Create by a 'Japanes
ponSant NDrpo

Feasant w oman.
A young Japanese peasant woman has
created a genuine sensation In the medical
circles of the east with a new theory and
cure of rheumatism.
Her theory is that it is caused by s. small
insect under the skin, that gnaws and bites
the muscles and thus causes the twinges of
pain and the untold misery of that ailment.
A grlzzled and skeptical sea captain placed
hlmselt under her care and, after foot baths
OF bran and hot rice brandy, she nipped
from his knees small white insects by the
dozenl
The regular practitioners were skeptical
about this new theory, and put one Of the
insects under a microscope. They decided
that by its organism it never could have lived
under the surface of the skin.
The Captain insists, however, that the
Japanese woman has taken the insects from
his knees and ankles by the hundreds, in his
sight, and killei them, and that he grows
better after each treatment! ~
This theory, absurd as it seems is really not
much more so than the theories formerly
held by the medical fraternity. It used to be
thought a trouble of the joints, and was
treated as such until it was demonstrated that
the treatment brought no lasting results.
TheI, as the muscles were affected, it was
set down as a muscular disease; but the same
unsatisfactory results followed. Now it is
universally acknowledged to be a 'sfiery con-
ditiIn of the blood caused by the presence of
uric acid in the system"
To cure it the uric acid must be driven out
OF the blood, which is lone by putting the
kidneys in a healthy condition with Warmers
safe cure, and putting out the fire in the
blooi' by Warmers safe rheumatic cure.
These remedies, taken in alienation, as they
should be, drive out the uric acid already in
the blood and prevent further accumulation.
James Wright, of 81 E. 18th ST., New York,
was for many years a victim of rheumatism
and trlei various remedies and cures with
out avail. Sept. s, 1887, he writes in praise
of the remedies named: 81 am now free
from the arrow stings Of the dreaded infam-
matory rheumatism. 1 nave and always
will recommend Warmers rheumatic rene
dies to all sufferers of the disease
Inc japanese peasant womanis theory will
not be likely to stand the test of time and
scientific investigation, but the thousands of
cures made by the remedies mentioned above
prove their merit beyond all question.

A Cure for RastIesnake Bites.

DR.. H. G. Yarrow Of Washington has
been experimenting recently with a view
to determine the value of certain reputed
antidotes to serpent venom. ALI of them
thus far in his hands have proved value
less with the exception of the fluid ex-
tract of jaborandi, which seems to pos
scss antidotal powers, at least in the
case of mammals, but upon fowls it APP
pears to have no such effect. DR.. Var
row has given hypodermatically to rab-
bits four-foid lothal doses of crotalus
venom, and then, by the administration
Of thirty five minims of fluid extract of
jaborandi, he has prevented any serious
results.
The use of jaborandi as an antidote to
o poison was, we believe, first sug-
gested by DR.. Josso, in the Gazette
Hebdomadaire de Medicine ct de Ghi-
rurgie, Paris, 1882, vol. xix. p. $50, and
in this communication he reported a
case of viper bite cured with an infusion
of the leaves. -[Philadelph Medical

Rroiled ChOpV.

The choice of chops for broiling is
generally decided by the price the GUS
toner wishes to pay. AS a matter oil
fact, those cut from the lower neck and
shoulder are the sweetest III flavor;
those from the loin the richest, because
the fat is largely distributed throughout
the lean, and the kidney fat, which is
attacheddo them, is preferred by cpl
cures. Chops cut from the middle part
of the leg show the most meat in pro-
portion to fat and bone; the so-called
French chops, cut from the rack, or
ribs, are the most expensive, because ali
the fat aud flesh is trimmed away from
them, except that small portion at the
thickest end.
After the outer skin has been stripped
from the chops, and the superhuous fat
cut off to be tried out for drippings,
they are to be scraped lightly with the
back Of a knife, or wiped with a wet
cloth, to remove bone-du or any other
foreign matter; place them between the
bars of a double-wire gridiron, and ex-
pose them to the hottest fire available.
The rapid browning of the surface of
meat determines its juiciness and flavor,
and, therefore, the fire should be hot
and clear; brown both sides as quickly
as possible, antsthen move the meat far
enough away from the fire to prevent
burning. During the cooking do not
apply salt until the surface is brown,
because if it comes in contact with
raw meat, it draws out the blood and de-
priyes it of flavor. After the meat is
cooked to the desired degree, season it
palatably with salt and pepper, and
moistcn the surface with a little butter;
but do not cut it until it is carved, and
do not put any water upon the dish
with it: Be sure that the dish is hot
upon which it is served, and use hot
plates; the dishes can be heated without
injury by immcrsing them in a pan Of
hot water while the meat is being

Movable Train skirts.

worn on foot, as the back pieces are

the back nor below the waist, and the
interval is filed with a panel Of some
pther material, plain in the case of vel

Foods OF Eoreioue,.s,

The Germ ms, in their hcmes and
restaurants, boast Of having hams, sau-
sages, hares and many other articles of
food imported with their wines from
the Fatherland; the Italians, even in
Ben1, exhibit various g~astronomic
treasures from italy, and the variety of
canned foods the French always import
is now supplemented by regular weekly
consignments of what they call oscar
gots," which is to say snails. But the
height of this love for the foods of the
fatherlands is reached by the Chinese.
If you enter one of their shops in Mott
street, you will see barrels of dried
fowls, dried fishes, dried beans, yams
and fruits, dried eels-in fact, the sup
ply would equip the lardcr Of a rich
mans house. Yet nearly all these arti-
cles can be obtained here fresh for less
money. -New York Sun.

Household Hints.

Bottles may be easily cleaned with
hot water and fine cinders.
Pastry should never enter into the bin
of fare of a dyspcptic.
oileIoth may be kept bright for years
if properly vanished each season with
good varnish.
Fish is made moro digestiblo and has
its favor brought out by a few drops Of
lemon juice squeezed over it.
When the rubber rollers of your
wringer become sticky, as. they very
often do after wringing flannel, rub with
kerosene and wipe dry and they will be
nice and smooth. a
TO clean carpets, go over them once a
week with a broom dipped in hot water,
to which a little surpentine has been
added. Wiring a cloth in the hot water,
and wiqe under pieces OF furniture too
heavy to be moved.
To test cake in the oven, never insert
a broom splinter, but draw it gently
forward and put tho car close to the
loaf; if it is not done there will be a
little suffering sound. When it is
thoroughly baked there will be no
sound.
II a cellar has a damp smell and can
not be thorong hly ventilated, a few
trays of charcoal set around on the floor,
shelves and lodges will make the air
pure and sweet. If a large basketful Of
charcoal be placed in a damp cellar
where milk is kept, there will be no
danger Of il becoming tainted.
