The recent disastrous fire has

The apparent inability of our pres

work of the old volunteer department
is freely contrasted with the work of
paid department..
The Hugo & Schneider fire on
Commerce street was certainly the
most dangerous fire that ever hap
peued in our city. The large estab-
iishment was filled from cellar to gar.
ret with the most infiammable ma
terial,-oil, bacon, lard, candles,
whisky and cigars, yet 1t was con.
fined to the walls of the store, and q
large quantity of the goods saved.

The city is paying over $50, 900 for

fire pressure shall be main tanned so
that the hydrants can be used to ex.

ment did not know no W to turn it on.
One OF the large items of the eX-
travagsnce of the city administration
is the substitution of the paid fire de-
partment for the volunteer depart
ment. In addition to the increased
taxation made necessary by just
this kind of unjustifiable ex-
travagance our property owners feel
compelled to take out more insurance.

Highest of al. in Leavening Power-Latest U. S. Govt Report
Re-! Rss1ss
ABSOLUTELY Pure


While speaking Of small civilities, It
would perhaps be in accord to speak of
the courtesies shown to women In the
street cars. 1t is a lamentable fact that
both men and women Of good breeding
and culture frequently leave these quail
tiles at home when they enter a street
car. II a man elsewhere strives to do
the right thing at the right moment he
will no more allow a lady to stand in a
street car than at a concert or during
church service. A man will always
give his seat to a lady with whom he is
acquainted, and why. If the proper thing
to do in her case, is 1t not the proper
thing to do at all times? A fact gener-
ally admitted is that it is an act of SIM
pie courtesy, and If the woman would
receive it as such and acknowledge the
gift by a word Of graceful thanks in
stead of receiving it as their due, there
would be no discussion OF the matter.
1t is of ours firing for a woman to
stand throughout a journey, but when a
man takes upon himself these discom-
forts and gives up to her the place he
has secured by the right of precedence,
she should recognize it as a favor and
receive it as such.
Have We not all noticed and con
demned the unblushing s~elfshness OF
some women in railway trains. There
are little rudenesses of pushing aud
scrambling for places, subterfuges en-
ployed in order to secure seats for
friends or a greater space for their own
convenience and comfort. 1t may be
that these same flaws are to be detected
In men, but as a rule women have a
monopoly Of this kind of discourtesy.-

Several Ways of Using Fig for Layer Oak.

Several Ways of Using Figs for Layer Cake
At this season of the year, when fresh
figs are to be had, they make a delicious
filling for cake. Use your usual receipt
for layer cake and make a filling from a
dozen large figs. Wash them before
using, hen chop them fine and nearly
cover with water. When they have
boiled until soft stir them into an icing
made from the whites of four eggs and
a cupful of powdered sugar. A more
economical filling is made without eggs.
Boil a half pound of figs with half a
cupful of water and three ounces of
sugar until they make q soft paste. The
fruit must be washed and chopped be-
fore cooking. Spread the paste on while
it is warm. The cake should be cold
Another filling of figs may be made by
stirring the fruit into a boiled icing. For
this the figs must be very fresh. Boil a
pound of powdered sugar with a half
cup of water until it threads; then stir in
gradually the beaten whites of three
eggs. Stop beating when the icing
begins to stiffen. Set aside one-third of
the mixture for the top Of the CAKE and
flavor it with vanilla. Slice a pound OF
figs and stir them into the remainder and
flavor with lemon. Spread this between
the layers.-New York Post.

admission for them to the university

at the hall according to the custom at
Barnard college, New York. and Newn-

So accustomed have the men become to
these fair invaders that they scarcely
look up when they enter the room. Six
hours work a day including the lectures
is recommended by one of the princi-
pals as sufficient, as every hour after
that counts for loss and not for gain, in
her opinion. The girl that is not clever
enough to get on with that is not apt to
distinguish herself if she works nine
hours a day.

Successful Cooperation.

The Junction City Cooperative club,
known as the "Bellamy club" has just
entered upon its second year with a full
complement of members, most of whom
have been with it from the commence
ment.
This club was organized to conduct a
common kitchen, in which all the fam
lily cooking was to be done away from
the homes of the members. There are
forty-four ladies belonging to the club,
all of whom express their satisfaction as
to the results of their experiment. Dur
ing the year that the society has been in
existence the sum of s., 800 has been ex-
pended for table supplies. All bills
AVE been paid as fast as contracted, 50
that no debts have been carried over.
The officers of the society all serve with
out pay, having the work of supervision
30 well distributed that the task is not
great for any one. The secretary, Mrs.
M. E. Clark, is most enthusiastic over
the results. and predicts a prosperous
future.
All the cooking for the forty-four
families represented has beer done at
the society kitchen and the prepared
food delivered at the various residences.
The expense is estimated to be fully one
third less Than at separate kitchens, with
the advantage of greater variety and
better cooking, a professional cook hav-
ing been employed.-Topeka (Kan.) Let
