The largest crowd that has seen local
blaze for some time, was at the old
Trinity Church fire last night. The
churches closed few minutes after the
alarm was sent in, and the worshipers
crowded to the scene. One out OF every
ten spectators knew where the fire was,
but as the engines stopped squirting,
many persons started home. Several
young men at Fifth and King streets said
if the fire wanted good house. there
was a good opportunity to do its best

the fire was taking the advantage, and
the curtain was rung up to crowded

TREES FELLED BIZ ELECTRICITY.
A yyoodman's Axe viii Soon be Thing o
the Past.

A Yoodman's Axe will Soon be Thing OF
the Past.
Hitherto machines for telling trees
have been driven by steam power, but
this is sometimes inconvenient, es-
pecially in thick woods, and electric
power has recently been adopted in the
Galician forests. Usually in such ma
chimes the trunk is sawed, but in this
case it is drilled. When the wood is of
a soft nature the drill has sweeping
motion and cuts into the trunk by
means of cutting edges on its sides.
The drill is actuated by an electric mo-
tor mounted on carriage, which is
brought up close to the tree and shack
led to it. The motor is capable of
turning round its verticle axis, and the
drill is geared to it. in such manner
that it can turn through an arc of q
circle and make q sweeping cut into
the trunk.
The first cut made the drill is adj
vanced few inches and another sec
ton of the wood removed in the same
way until the trunk is half severed.
It is then stamped to keep the cut
from closing, and the operation contin-
ued until it would be unsafe to go on.
The remainder is finished by hand
saw or an axe. The current is conveyed
to the motor by insulated leads brought
through the forest from generator
placed in some convenient site.-Lon-

A Fathers Gift.

There was German bride who had
a wise father. Among his wedding
gifts he bestowed upon her small and
exquisitely beautiful golden casket,
which he charged her on no account to
entrust to other hands, "for," said he,
it holds precious charm against many
of the evils that inexperienced house
wives have to encounter. You are to
use it by taking it every morning to
the kitchen, the cellar and the table,
and setting it down in each for three
minutes. You will have to remain by
it, the magic will not work otherwise;
it has a mysterious connection with
you alone. At the end of three years
you may open the casket q shall send
you the key on the third anniversary of
your wedding day., for then it will
have done you all the good it can. :"
When opened, its sole contents was a
little strip of parchment on which was
written, "Phe eye of the mistress is
worth a hundred pairs of servants
hands" and he felt that habit of
three years. standing might be left to
itself

The Stomach DIstiIIs Acids.

These, If existent In o natural quantity. and
unvitiated by bile, play their part in the func-
tions of digestion and assimilation. But the ar
tifcial acid resulting from the inability Of the
stomach to convert food received by it into sus-i
tenance, is the producer Of iatulence and heart
burn which are the most harassing symptoms
Of dyspepsia. The best earminative is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Far moro effective is it
than carbonate Of soda, magnesia. or other aka
line salts. These invariably weaken the stomach
without producing permanent benefit. No man
or woman chemically dyspeptic, and conse-
quently nervous. can be in possession Of the full
measure of vigor allowed by nature. Therefore.
invigorate and regulate the system, and by SO
doing protect it from malaria, rheumatism, and
other serious maiadies.

Blood Oranges.

The blood grange j q mere variety Of
the sweet orange obtained BY culsiya-
ton, and appears first to have been
raised BY the Spanish gardeners in the
Philippine islands, from the capital Of
which (Mani1a) it, together with the
well known cigars, formed at one time
one of the chief articles of export. On
its first appearance IN Europe it excit-
ed considerable sensation; and in the
last century very high prices were de-
manded for the trees which bore the
wonderful frnit. None, however, now
come to us from Manila, our supply
being derived almost entirely from
Malta, where great pains and attention
are bestowed upon their cultivation. 1t
was for long time supposed, and in
deed the idea is not yet quite extinct,
that blood oranges were produced by.
the grating of the orange with the
pomegranate; but there Is not the
slightest foundation for this belief. ~

Birds in the House.

DO not hang your bird merely where
his cage looks pretty. Nor must you
fly to the other extreme, and place him
in glare of sunlight, even in winter.
Birds suffer and die from this cause.
The best way is to give him his choice;
put him in the sun and shade, so that
he may do as he likes. You will no.
tice that he often sits in the shade.
Remember and take care about
placing him in draft, or too close to
even closed window, except on warm
summer days. It is as great a mistake
to put him where he will be subject to
the dry, burning heat of q furnace or
stove. Do not hang his cage too high
nor too low, but let him breathe the
pure air which you breathe yourself.
From November till June wrap his
cage nightly in warm shawl, or draw
over it thick flannel cover, and never
place the cage on the floor, as | saw
advised not long ago.
Your bird needs variety as we'll as
You, bird-store men and bird-book
writers to the contrary, notwithstand-
ing. Give him every day, besides his
seed and fresh water, bit of green
food, lettuce, sorrel, chickweed, plan
tain deaf or ends), or slice of banana
OF apple. and fasten the delicacy SO
that It cannot fall to the floor. A
dainty bird will not touch it if it falls.
Also, now and then, perhaps three
times week, give him snip or two
Of raw beef the size of pin head,
larger if he's mocking bird. He
may look askance at first, and turn his
wise, black eyes upon it with curiosity,
but he will soon relish it, and eagerly
snatch it from your finger, and It takes
TO his bill of fare if he We're free.
In fact, try to keep in mind that the
little fellow has likes and dislikea, pain
and discomfort, happiness and pleas
ure. much as you have yourself, and
YOU will be we'll repaid by his bright

b Practice Enough.
In regard TO the question 90 often
asked me as TO what kind Of intellect
Is required to make good chess play
er, / should not care to commit myself
as an expert, for I do not profess to
have made any special study OF the
question. This much can say, how
ever, that chess Is by no means as diff
cult game TO master as many people
suppose.
Nor does it require an exceptionally
good memory TO become o good chess
player. Chess playing, in one respect
at least, is like piano playing. It re-
qiires constant and regular practice to
gain proficiency. Thousands Of peo-
pie take up chess playing as they do
the piano, the violin or shorthand, and
never become proficient. Chess should
be taken up in regular manner md
experiences in playing the game be
gained by pursuing reasonable meth
] DDS. One point every amateur player
should remember, that is, not to mike
rule Of playing with weaker player
than himself.
Beginners are in the habit of asking
3odds" Of their opponents in the hope
Of coming out successful. This prac-
tice is great mistake. It tends to
keep them weak players 1t will be
seen at once that such course minis
tiers not to a mans strength, but to his
weakness; he is not put upon his met
tie, he has no chance to become self
reliant. Better by far would it be for
the young player to be defeated in all
his contests than to coddle his feeling
Of inferiority by taking @odds." Only
by trusting in himself, and playing
with all the pieces ON the board, and
combining regular study with practice,
can he ever become irst-class player.
If man will give his attention to
chess an hour day he ought to be q
fairly good player in twoyears. If he
plays by fits and starts he will soon
forget what he has learned. and become
impatient and lose all interest in the
game. I recommend amateurs to take
up printed chess problems and COM
pare them with the solutions; it is
not necessary, as some suppose, to
solve them. This process will strength
en- their faculty of precision. By prac-
ticing the variations on the boards an
ordinary amateur will become an ex-
pert solver in about six months. He
will become SO familiar with the differ
emit ideas that are worked out in the
problem that after time he will hit at
the "key move" with more or less
rapidity. A first-class chess player
gains his proficiency by developing the
natural, innate faculty he has for the
game. But the ability to understand
chess an d to be able to play it reasona
bly, well is much more common than
people suppose, and the game ought to
become even more popularthan it is
