The quiet siumbers of our citizens were
aroused last Saturday evening by the start
ling cry of fire. 1t was just about twelve
O'Clock when the alarm was first sounded,
G. c. Kesty, the engineer of the fire engine
hastily dressed and started IN the direction
of the engine, when reaching Catharine
street, he discovered it was his own baild-
ing and quickly ran to the scenei and
found his building enwrapped In flames.
The Winon hose carriage was the first to
arrive and made attachment to the water
plug near Sharpless' foundry. Following
the Winona carriage Immediately came the
Friendship, but as the Winona had coupled
and was throwing good stream upon the
fire, and apparently getting ii under con-
troll no effort was made to make any
further couplings. The building being but
small one and only one story the fire was
soon put out. The fire when first dis
covered was coming through the roof near
the smoke stack. Only part of the sides OF
the building were left standing, all the re-
mainder being completely destroyed.
The new steamer was run down East
street to the corner of Fifth, where in max
ing a short turn it stuck in the gutter. 1t
was afterwafd taken to the scene OF the
fire. but not used as the Winona Company
had the fire put out. The destroyed build
ing was owned by Z. c. Kesty and a. Mr..
Hoffman of Luzerne Co, and used as
machine shop. They had two large lathes,
an iron plauer, bolt cutter, and several
smaller machines. They were doing a
good repair business and had several large
pieces in the shop for repairs at the time OF
the fire. The young men carried an in
surauce of about two-thirds the value OF

The Power of Early habit.

One of the best friends ever had died
OF delirium tremens At sixty years of
age, though he had not since twenty
one years of age-before which he had
been dissipated-touched Intoxicating
liquor until that particular carousal
that took him off. Not feeling we'll in
a street on hot summer day, he stepped
into drug store, just as you and would
have done, and asked for a dose of some
thing to make him feel better And
there was alcohol in the dose, and that
one drop aroused the old appetite, and
he entered the first liquor store, and
stayed there, until thoroughly under the
power, he entered his home a raving
maniac, his wife and daughters fleeing
from his presence, until he was taken
to the city hospital to die. The combus-
tible material of early habit had lain
quiet nearly forty years, and that one
spark ignited the confagration. Re-
member that avail may be one hundred
feet high, and yet a DETECTION one foot
from the foundation affects the entire
structure. And if you live a hundred
years, and do right the last eighty years,
you may nevertheless do something at
twenty years of age that will damage
all your earthly existence. A man be-
fore thirty years of age may commit
enough sin to last him a lifetime.-Tal-
mage. in N. Y. Observer.

Counterfeit Excitement Which Some Con-
slider True Inspiration.
Almost all persons who have reached
maturity are subject to depression of
spirits Tides of melancholy, restless
ness and languor overwhelm the nerv-
Gus system. Ne matter why they come,
come they will. But for some fault of
the victim or of his environment they
could not be. But this is not faultless
world.
The use of stimulants in some form
has been thought necessary, in order to
counteract vital depression. my sys-
tenn needs toning up is the plea made
to himself by the tippler. The mind,
like a balloon, wants to be loosened
from the trammels that tie it down to
the soddens earth. -: = =
q This is the reason" says Emerson,
''why lords love wine, mead, narcotics,
coffee. tea, opium, the fumes of sandal
wood and tobacco, or whatever other
procurers of animal exhilaration. To
that end," he continues, ''men avail
themselves of different means to add
this extraordinary power to, their nor
NAL powers. To this end, they prize
conversation, music, pictures, dancing,
theaters, travelling, war, fires, gaming,
politics. or. animal intoxication, which
are coarser substitutes for the true
nectar. For these are auxiliaries to
the centrifugal tendency of man, to
his passage out into free space, and
they help him to escape the custody of
that body in which he is pent up, and
of that jail-yard of individual relations
in which he is inc1osed."
For this reason the philosopher de-
clares great number of the profession
alexpressors of beauty, such as painters,
poets and musicians, have been given to
lives of pleasure and indulgence, ''all
but the few who have received the true
nectar"
But such manner of escape from
bondage to earthly conditions is not lib
erty, only license or emancipation into
the freedom, not of the heavens, but of
viler places than those which they left
behind. It followed that 'sthey were
punished for the advantage they had
won by dissipation and deterioration.
For never can any advantage be taken
of nature by trick. The spirit of the
world, the great, calm presence of the
Creator comes not forth to the sorceries

That Is not the true inspiration but .
counterfeit excitement which is induced

course by corresponding depressions.
Like he who drinks the salt water of
the sea instead of the fresh fountains

Once let the tippler feel that there is
an inner fountain of spiritual refresh

uplifts his soul into an atmosphere of
buoyancy and strength, and that this
soul power is translatable into physical
force. and he will seek only the higher

MRS. CLoE OUTEN, a colored woman
living near Indianapolis, is probably
the Oldest living woman in the world.
She does not know her exact age, but
from her story and the fact that her
daughter, who lives with her, is 30, it is
more than probable that she was born
in 1859 or ITO, making her now 120
years of age. She was born as a slave
in North Carolina. The daughter with
whom she lives is her fourth child.
