There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Of all druggists.

For chapped lips, dissolve some bees.

For chapped lips, dissolve some bees
wax in little sweet oil by heating to-
gether gently. Apply to the lips sew
eral times day and avoid wetting them
as much as possible. An old-fashioned
recipe for perfectly harmless face To-
tion is the following: Take seeds Of
pumpkin, melon, gourd and cucumbers,
and pound them to powder, adding
fresh cream to dilute the powder, then
add sweet milk enough to make q thin
paste; few drops of oil of lemon, or of
lemon juice, must be added. Apply this
to the face for half an hour at time, or
1t may be put on when retiring and left
on over night.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-Shortly be-
fore three o'clock Monday morning fire
was discovered under the Burlington
House, adjoining the Grand Hotel, in
the basement of the store occupied by
Heuter Bros. 81 Co., dealers in paint and
artists supplies. The flames spread
rapidly throughout the basement of tho
block bounded by Market New Mont
gomery, Stevenson aud Second streets,
and then spread to the second floor, oc-
cupied by the Hall Safe & Lock Com
pany, Hall & Goldman, druggists sup
plies; Board of Trade rooms, Prllman
Palace Car Companys office, Great
Northern railroad ticket office and the
rooms of the Syndicate Investment
Company. The smoke in the meantime
had aroused the inmates of the Grand
and the Burlington hotels and the fright

what valuables they could carry The
fire soon shot up through the freight ele.

coming the firemen. Jacob Underhill,
wine merchant, was overcome by the
smoke in the Grand Hotel and was taken
out unconscious.
Cashier Weeks, of the Grand, who is
crippled, was almost overcome when he
was assisted out by the elevator boy.
There were several other narrow es-
capes BY six o'clock the flames had
spread along the eastern end of the
block, bursting from the roof and win
dows The wind was light and tho eff
forts of the firemen to confine the fire
within the block occupied by the Bur-
lington and Grand were successful.
About six o'clock the roof of the Bur-
lington Hotel fell in, carrying part of
the Grand. In short time the whole
interior of the Burlington was com
plete wreck and the front OF tho Grand
on Market street, together with the
was also a ruin. The western end was
saved.
The first floor of the Burlington was
occupied by G. II. Hirst, millinery and
novelties; c. p. Downing, proprietary
medicines, and e. III. Wardwel IL, window
shades and fixings. These stores were
gutted, as were also Reuter- e Co. S, the
Board of Trade rooms and the Burr
Folding Bed Company's place of bust
ness. The Southern Pacific, the Central
Pacific and other ticket offices under the
Grand, together with Fay's saloon, were
damaged by water. The Grand Hotel
was opened in 1870 by Johnson & Co.,
and at that time was considered one OF
the finest hotels in the world. 1t was
four stories high and had frontage Of
200 feet. Two years ago about half of
the block was leased to other parties
and was called the Burlin gton Hotel.
The loss, including the buildi ngs, stores,
furniture and stocks is estim ated at ST.
100000. The fire is believed to be due
to the spontaneous combustion of in
flammable materials in Heuter Bros. 6
Co. s place of business.

A Rug Weaving Loom.

In the window of the Atkinson House
Furnishing Company's store on Middle
street can be seen an old-fashiOned hand
loom such as our grandmothers used, oper
ated by young man from the carpet manu-
factory OF w. T. Smith & Co., of Philadel
phia. The loom is used in the manufacture
of carpet rugs, and persons who stop in front
of the loom can see the fabric grow steadily
as the shuttles fly back ond forth and the
threads rise and fall. The manufacture OF
rugs is good deal like the making of car
pets, necessitating first the weaving of col
ored threads into a fabric, then cutting this
into cords. which are again woven in these
large looms, according to a previously ar
ranged design. The process of lug making
is slow, but this serves the better to illus
trate the principles upon which the work
proceeds, and which any one can compre-
bend in a ten minutes study of the work as
done In the Atkinson window.
