The opinion that man is degraded
by addressing another as ':Sire," or
sfYour Royal Highness," or "Your
Lordship," ''Sir Something" is deep
ly rooted in the ordinary American
heart. Two illustrations of this are
furnished by Canadian contributor.
OF course, in telling the stories the
names of the chief actors are changed,
for there is no such person as Sir
James HOm1ake. But the incidents
as narrated to show the nature of the
changes made in speaking the names
Some years ago, when. Sir Charles
Smith, so we will call him, was trav-
cling by special train in Dakota,
told his private secretary to instruct
the conductor that he should not say
'Mr. Smith," but ''Sir Charles" in
speaking to so great a man. Next
time the conductor came round he
he said, 'sWell, -Charles-the
next station is Glyndon." And al
ways thereafter he continued to use
the same form. swell, sir-Charles"
as though the sir were purely ex-
clamatory, and the knights name
Charles.
Last year when Sir James Hon.
lake and a number Of other promi-
nent Englishmen were travelling in
this country as guests of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Institute, the
company had a special train. The
porter of the car in which Sir James
travelled for two days was singular
ly polite but slightly deaf negro. He
always addressed Sir James as "Mis.
ser Omelette." After this had oc-
CURED several times Sir James, whose
Sense of personal Importance is well
developed, said in an appalling and
loud tone, s.My good fellow, you must
not speak to me in that manner.
When you address me you are to say
Sir James Homlake-Sir James HON.
lake. remember that"
"Porter, have you learned to say
Sir James HomIake?" asked one of
the Americans next day, when he
happened to meet the darky where
the knight was not.
''Oh, no, sab! Idon't say no such
thing. Dis yer's free country"
''What do you call him them"
"Jus' Misser Omelette, yessah.
JUS Misser Omelette, sah."
'tAren't you afraid?"
"Yessah-scared mos to def, but
Pse 'Merican citizen, sah."

The Pivotal Point of q Fire.

Fire experts establish by statistics
that the pivotal point of fire is the
$50, 900 mark; that is to say, while
since 1856 there have been about 40,
900 fires. doing 1917, 900, 900 damage,
1927 of them did more than $50, 000,-
900 damage. There were especial"
fires of more than $50, 900 each, which
dwarfed the average of the 80,
other fires to about 81, 100 per fire.
When the fire has passed the $50, 900
a much heavier loss may be looked
for.
Oddly enough, the fires that have
in thirty-flve years done the most
damage have started in buildings
that cost the least to erect. The
greatest average loss has been from
stables, where the fire has got beyond
control, so as to involve other build
ings. The average loss of especial"
stable fires is nearly $3.50, 900, but
this average was raised by the Fourth
Avenue stable fire, which licked up
the Thirty-third Street Storage Ware
house. Candle factories and oil mills
come neXt, because, perhaps, OF the
fire which swept away the Wander
bilt elevators; and next come mercan-
til concerns, through the vast sums
lost by large dry-goods district" fires.
There is wide difference between
the average Of specials" s210, ZOO,
and the next important class, sugar
reflneries and steam confectioneries,
whose average is about $3.50, 600.
Next in importance are markets,
average $136, 900; metal workers,
$126, 900; churches, Silt. 900; distiller-
les and breweries, Sill, 900; steam
boats and sail craft, s108, 600; the
aters, etc, the same; wood-workers,
sl07, 900; printers, etc, the same,
and SO on down to lumber yards, whose
average is $50, 900. The average loss
on ali specials" is less than Sl64, 600.

BLAZE AT BATTLE CREEK.
The Largest Industry of the city Destroyed
Loss a25O,OOO.

Fire broke out in the Union School
Seat factory's works at Battle Creek
and the entire plant is destroyed. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but fol-
lowing so closely after the attempted
burning of their foundry the night be-
fore, people begin TO think it was
caused by an incendiary.
The factory contained the finest
woodworking machinery invented, and
the manufactured stock was large and
of the very best material and make.
All that belongs TO the institution will
be complete loss.
So fearful conflagration has never
occurred since the city has been in
corporated, and the destruction of the
property was witnessed by thousands
of people who supposed that the fire
department, rs at present organized,
was capable of mastering the tiercest
fire that could possibly occur. Help
was asked from Marshall and kalama-

but Kalamazoo was returned and
when Marshall came the fire was
under control. 1t was confined in the
Union School Manufacturing company 5

The loss is estimated at $3.50, 600 by

In northern counties farmers expect
an average crop of grains, while the
yield of vegetables and fruit has been
better than usual. Potatoes are fair
crop, except in Wexford county, where
the blight is doing damage. Fall work
Is nearly done throughout the country
in this section. In central counties
fall grains are being put in as fast as
possible. The ground is in splendid
shape, recent rains softening it for
blowing. and putting in seed. Har-
vesting is about all done, and corn is
cut and shocked in many counties.
Potatoes will be better crop than first
anticipated, owing to the freshening
effect of the rain. Pastures were also
benefited, and some farmers claim
that fall feed will be abundant. The
fruit crop is above the average. In
southern counties the drouth which
has been so long retarding the growth
of the crops was finally broken by
a long and soaking rain, which had
the effect of making vegetation jump
Pastures have become green again and
farmers are talking hopefully of crops
they had almost given up. Corn
cutting and shocking has begun, and
on the low lands the yield will be up
TO the average. Potatoes still seem to
be poor crop, but have improved un-
der the beneficial influences of mois-
ture and warmth. The ground IS In
fine condition for working, and fall
seed is going in rapidly. Kalamazoo
reports large crop of fall celery.

day when some person in one of the
places of worship raised the cry of fire.

right on top of one another on the

street had enough presence of mind to
send out fire alarm, which brought
the department TO the scene.
The firemen succeeded in eXtricating
the people from the blocked stairway
and found that there were four dead
and about a dozen injured.
A general alarm was sent out for
ambulances and in the meantime the
dead and injured were laid out on the

Italians Want a Republic.

Rome special: The presence in Rome
of Monsignor Ferrata and the happy
auguries of the Republican policy of
the pope in France have raised anew
the question of a Republican govern
ment in Italy from the point of view of
Catholic interest and the position of
the pope. The idea of a republic grows
amongst the masses. Several promi-
nent conservative journals have pro-
nounced clearly for this change. This
change in sentiment has produced n
sensation and a sensible disquietude at
the quirinal and also in the great
European courts. The alteration in
sentiment is due to the tendency of the
king to sacrifice the country TO the in
terests of the dynasty by doubtful al
lance.
