A 100000 BLAZE IN BOSTON.
The Clinton Market En- ireIy Destroyed
by Fire.

The one-story building known as the
Clinton Market, located on Atlantic Avenue,
Boston, was wholly destroyed by fire night
or two ago. The building is 725 feet long by
100 feet wide, and being devoid of any party
walls the flames had full scope through its
entire length. 1t was occupied by dealers in
beef and produce, and the grease-soaked
timbers proved an easy prey to the flames
Before the first piece of apparatus arrived at
the scene the entire building was wrapped in
flames, and the neighborhood was lighted W
for distance of fully 800 yards. Three
lines of hose were quickly run up to the roof
of the burning building. This company was
closely followed by others and in few mo-
ments nine engines had streams on the fire
When Chief Weber arrived he found the
force too small and ordered second alarm
to be turned in. With the help OF the ap
paratus called to the seer e by the second
alarm, Chief Weber and his men made q
gallant attempt to check the fire at the centre
of the building. but owing to the great head
way il had secured it was impossible, and o
third alarm was sounded. BY this time the
entire building was a roaring mass Of fire.
With the help of the engines called on the
third alarm the firemen took the stand on
all sides of the building, and thousands OF
gallons of water were thrown on the flames
with but little effect.
After much hard work, however, the
flames were eXtinguished in every part of
the building except the section in which II
started. Here the firemen encountered TIE
most trouble. Two or three times during
the evening the flames were extinguisbed,
only to blaze up again with renewed fury.
The large quantity of water thrown on this
section finally told, and, after nearly six
hours work, the fire was extinguished, and
all but one engine company were ordered
home. The cause of the fire is unknown.
The damage will probably amount to $780,

Pepsln and How II Is Made.

Pepsin is a peculiar substance found
in the gastric juice, which gives ii the
power Of converting the album old
constituents of the food into soluble
peptones, The pcpsin medicine Is
prepared from the mucous membrane
lining fresh and healthy stomachs Of
the pig, sheep or calf. Several pro-
ccsscs of preparation are used, The
membrane is first gently washed in
pure water, aud is then maoerated in
wine, or in water, or in muriatic acid,
The acid solution may then be pre-
served with glycerine, or treated with
various reagents to obtain solid popsn
BY one process strong brine is added
TO the acidulaed solution. The action
of the salt causes the pcpsin to sepa-
rate from its solution, aud float on tn
surface, from which ii il removed an
put on cotton cloth to drain. 1t is
then dried under pressure, and 90 5
like tough pieces of parchment, 1t is
kept in this dried form, or may be dis
solved in sugar OF milk or in acidG-
lated water for medical purposes

was beng taken young man arose, saying
that his home was in Wichita, Kansas, that
he had no money to give, but that so greatly
did he desire that Nebraska might share with
Kansas in the blessings of prohibition, he
would give his watch to be sold for this
fluid. , 1t was a nice gold watch, engraved
with his name; as he is a student in the
Congregational Theological Seminary here,
this giving up his watch is a real sacrifice,
both because of his need oft and bscauss hs
probably cannot purchase another one soon.
Another young gentleman gave his silver
watch to the same cause. Such young men
will be heard from yet, doing grand work on
tho worlds broad field Of battle.-Unson
