RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRES.
Careless Occupants 0ftener to Blame
Than Incompetent Builders.

Than Incompetent Builders.
If Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt, writes Barr
Ferree in the current number of the Engi-
neering Magazine. has read all the COM
ments, sermons. dscourses, suggestions,
mountains of advice, reams Of wisdom, and
worlds of foOishneSs which have been
poured forth on himself and long suffer
ing public anent the burning of his cottage
at Newport. he not only now knows more
about fires in dwellings than any other per-
son living, but doubtless wishes ferv-
emily that he did not know so much. 1t
is seldom that fire in domestic dwelling
attracts so wide attention as Mr.. Wander
bits did, yet every day lesser calamities
are happening in all our great cities to peO-
pie much less able than he to afford the
loss. Whether the fire in Mr.. Vanderbilt's
cottage actually arose from a defective flue
or not. there can be little question but that
many domestic fires, and many fires not
domestic. have their origin In q careless
ness little short of criminal. just at this
time the cities of Milwaukee and Brooklyn
are suffering from an abnormal number Of
fires. Warehouses. factories, dwelling, al
most every grade of building, nave suffered
recently and so numerously as TO attract
the active attention of insurance men
to them, with the result OF a consid cradle
increase in rates. All manner of excuses
have been put forth. Fire fends, badly
equipped ire departments, improper con-
struction have come Ia for their share OF the
blame Doubtless all are responsible In
meaSnre. vet it seems one of the strangest
things IN the world TO fasten the RESPONSE
blllty Of number Of fires in any one city
upon It's fire department, be its equipment
ever so bad or out OF date. A deficient fire
department may help the seriousness of
fires by not rendering proper service or in
not being provided with adequate APP

with the number of fires. Neither is
1t fair to censure the architect and
the builder. Brooklyn's epidemic is recent
one. though the city is by no means new.
A more satisfactory explanation, certainly
IN the instances of domestic dwellings, is
the unutterable carelessness OF people with
fire and flame. So long RS the house does
not burn down every improper use of fire is
all right; the moment the catastrophe oc-
ours the fault is looked for everywhere,
save 10 the nearest place. Cities afflicted
with numerous fires had better issue in
structiOns to the people on handling them,
similar TO health bulletins issued in times of
pestilence. than spend their time in investi-
eating the evil doings of architects and
buildings or bewailing the lnsuf1iciency Of
fire-englnes

The Time of Dinner.

The time at which the principal
meal is taken is not within limits of
such great Importance if certain es-
sential conditions are complied with.
The selected hour should be adhered
to, for the stomach acquires the habit
of getting ready at the usual time
if it is disappointed, either the appe-
tite fails or indigestion follows. The
food last taken should not have been
too recent, nor should there have
been too long a task. The diner
should not be overtired; otherwise
the stomach shall share in the gen.
eral exhaustion.
If the stomach has been fatigued
by efforts to digest too recent a meal
or by too long abstinence or partake
of the general exhaustion of its pro-
prietor it would be unable to form
the juices necessary for digestion.
To his principal meal man should
bring his body fresh and vigorous
and stomach refreshed by rest after
having done work within a reasona-
BILE short period. Dinner should never
be bolted and hurried over. The
food should be well masticated.-

THE ELEMENTS AIDED THE WCTORS.
Some of the Great Battles of the World
Were Won by the Help of Nature,

Some of the Great Battles of the World
Were Won by the Help of Nature,
1t is a singular fact that most of
the great battles that have shaped
the course of the worlds history
have been fought under atmospheric
conditions which have played no
small part in deciding their issue.
Thus Arminius, the Goth, defeated
the Romans under Varus during a
terrific thunderstorm, which, accord
ing to Dion, SO terrified the legion
aries that they lost heart and were
easily thrown into disorder.
When Xerxes invaded Greece, a
violent storm at sea sank no fewer
than 400 of his ships and transports
and left him comparatively helpless
before the Greeks.
So, too, at the battle of Cannae,
Hannibal took advantage of a high
wind to place himself so that while
the Romans were blinded with a
dust storm his men had the wind at
their backs.
Coming to more modern times, the
Norman conquest of England was al
most diverted by a violent storm,
which scattered Williams ships and
drove them back to the coast of
France.
At Crecy it is well known that the
rainstorm which relaxed the strings
of the Genoese bowmen practically
put them out of the field, while the
English archers, who had kept their
strings dry, were able to demoralize
the French vanguard by their dead.
ly shooting.
The battles of TowtOn and Barnet
were both practically decided by the
assistance which the elements rem
dered to the Yorkists, first, in the
shape of a binding snowstorm, and,
second, through the medium of a
dense fog.
The Spanish armada would not
have been by any means SO easily re-
pulsed but for a violent gale which
heeled the Spanish ships over to
such an extent that they were easily
hulled by the English, while their
own shots flew high into the air.
The final destruction of the feet
by a tempest needs no description,
any more than do the frightful suf-
fering of Napoleon's army in the
Moscow campaign, in which ice and
snow gained more victories than
Russian arms, while at Waterloo
there is no doubt that the heavy rain
which preceded the battle greatly
assisted Wellington's tactics and
crippled those of Napoleon by making
the thick clay soil almost impossible
for cavalry movements. Chicago

Poison On Every Hand.

One of the odd episodes of the week
was the serious poisoning of Deer
ing alderman from dye in the collar
of his new oveTcoat, which he turned
up against his face ON a wet day.
Poison may lurk in almost every
thing we wear or eat or drink or live
and sleep in-and how unhappy we
should be if we only stopped to think
of it!-Lewiston Journal.
