A disastrous fire broke out yesterday in
the large freight depot at Milan, owned

The buildings were crowded with mis-
ceilaneous freight including 2lO bales Of
cotton, all Of which was totally destroyed.
Tho presence OF engines on the grounds,
owned by tho companies and manned by
their employees, saved the freight cars
from destruction. The large transfer shed,
225 feet long, and connecting platforms,
were totally destroyed.
The two-story house Of Mrs. Woods was
burned 10 the ground after the bulk Of Ia
contents had been saved. The depot
buildings were valued ut $1,000. The

4 gentleman who has devoted IA great

for general distribution a terse statement of
the matter. 1t is illustrated by cuts of the
necks Of a horse and swan twisted upward

and reads as follows
About 800 veterinary surgeons in Great
Britain signed IA paper condemning over
head check reins painful to horses, and
productive of disease. Ii is cruel in the
extreme, causing distortion Of the wind
pipe to such a degree as TO impede the res
piration ever afterward and various other
diseases, such as excoration of the mouth
and lips, paralysis Of the muscles of the
face megrims, apoplexy, coma and inham-
nation and softenng of the brain, all these
resulting in shortening the life of the horse,
The writer begs of you 70 consider that this
cruel thing has been but "a short time in
use that we managed our horses very well
before and it is not necessary now. Very
many TO whom he has spoken about it have
thanked him, saying that really it never
occurred 10 them, and that they would re-
move it at once A good authority says
that the overhead check rein Is generally

Hip Crnpe Vino. i'm CnIiforuin,

Before the centennial, says New York
Tribune correspondent, Santa Barbara pos
sessed the largest grape vine in California,
but prior to the celebration it was cut down
and shipped to Philadelphia, where it was
placed on exhibition and justly attracted
great attention. Its dimensions have for
gotten, but if ! mistake not this state now
has two vines which are sufficiently phe
nomenal in size to be worthy Of note. The
larger of the two is at Carpenteria, pref
ty little town in Santa Barbara county. The
circumference of the trunk six inches
above the ground is six feet two inches 1t
is seven feet high, and the main trunk is
divided into branches which are trained on
an arbor, and extend no feet one way and
90 feet the other. The annual yield of
grapes from it averages four tons. Car
penteria rather runs to the mammoth in
vegetation, for in front of the house of the
Rev. Edward Fish, of that place, is grow
ing geranium bush which is so large that
it takes forty-one PAGES TO walk around it.
The other big vine is ON the Machado ranch
nineteen miles southeast of San Diego, near
the Mexican line. 1t is of the old Mission
variety, and was planted in 1859 From
the roots a trunk five feet in circumference
reaches up about six feet, where it divide,
into three large branches, which in turn
divide and send out other branches, twined
over an arhor the whole vine cover,
something over half an acre of ground
This immense canopy of vine and fruit is
within easy reaching distance Of the ground
The average yield is from three to fouI
tons of grapes

The abundance of white clover in the
season of bloom has led many who know
that this is one of the principal sources
from which bees gather their stores To be.
lIcve that great quantity Of honey must
have been gathered from it this year 1t
is "A fact, however, that bees have made
less than the usual amount Of white clover
honey. They gather honey from buckwheat
only when it is most--from white clover
when it is dry After heavy dew, or af-
ter IA rain ON the previous day, bees are
seldom seen on white clover until late in
the forenoon When the weather is fair,
the most bees will be seen at work on clio
yer in the dryest part Of the day, or from

Fruit rs Food.

Some people are afraid to eat fruit, think
ing that fruit and diarrhua are always as
sociated when, if they understood the true
cause of the diarrhoea, they would know
that it was often caused by eating meat.
In hot weather meat putrefies very quickly,
and during this process alkaloids are form
ed which are very poisonous, acting as
emetics and purgatives. 1t is true that
fruit eaten green or between meals will in
terfere with digestion and cause bowel
troubles but use fruit that is perfectly ripe
at meal time, and only beneficial results
will follow.
An excessive amount of fruit, or If eaten
either in the unripe or over ripe state, may
produce disturbances in the system, chiefly
because of its tendency to ferment and de
compose in the digestive tract, thus produc
ing stomach and bowel disorders If, how
ever, these disturbances are not too great
or too prolonged, they need occasion no
special anxiety. a dose of castor oil, to
which few drops of laudanum have been
added, is usually sufficient to clean out the
irritating debris and in day or two the
natural equilibrium is restored If there
is much gripping and pain with the move,
ments, and these become too numerous Ia
be comfortable the dose of oil should he
followed by curtailing activty-by quiet
and repose-by diet of meat broths, con
tanning rice, barley or sage; by rice and
milk, milk toast etc.
Acids prevent calcareous degenerations,
| keeping the bones elastic as well as pre-
venting the accumulation of earthly matters.
| This is because of the solvent power of
acids hut manufactured acids are not
harmless, as are those which nature has
/ prepared for Us in the various kinds Of
| fruit Fruit is a perfect food when fully
ripe, and If it were in daily use from youth
to age there would he less govt, gall stones
and stone in the bladder. Stewed apples.
| pears and plums are favorite articles of
| diet. For breakfast or luncheon, in the
dining room or in the nursery, there are
| few dishes more wholesome and delicious
than well stewed fruit served with cream
or custard
There are many persons however, who
cannot eat fruit, either ON account of it,
acidity or the excess of sugar necessary u
make it palatable. Sugar does not, of
course, counterfeit acidity it only DISCUS
es it, and its use in large quantities tends to
retard digestion The housewife may,
therefore, be grateful for the reminder that
a pinch-a very small pinch-of carbonate
of soda, sprnkled over the fruit previous
to cooking, will save sugar, and will rem
der the dish at once more palatable and
more wholesome. -Medic0i Classics

The Old, Old story.

The Newport Express states that several
parties in the vicinity of Barton have lost
considerable money by the failure Of the
firm to which they had consigned butter at
Lowell, Mass. This is the old, old story
dishonest men establish so-called commits
sion house, offer cent or two more pound
for butter than the market price, run as
long as they can without paying, and then
fail, leaving the farmers whom they have
gulled 10 repent at their leisure because Of
their credulousness If farmers would stop
to think, they would realize that where a
firm offers them more than the mark ct
price that is Il reason 10 doubt the reliability
of the house, inasmuch as men who intend
To pay their honest debts cannot afford to
pay more than the market price for pro
duce. When you ship produce, he sure that
