THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
A List of Companies, Captains, Lo-
cations of Houses and Pro-
posed Changes.

At present there are 81 firemen
employed in the city fire depart
ment, seven of them being captains
Of the different companies. The
following is the location of the
seven houses:
Fire company No. |, Frio street,
A. c. Tracht, captain; seven fire.
men.
Fire company No. 3, Avenue c,
J. w. Collins, captain and assistant
chief; seven firemen.
Fire company No. 3, South Ala
mo street, James Stevens, captain;
seven firemen.
Fire company No. 4, corner Of
San Pedro avenue and Romano

Chief Duerler stated to report
err for the LIGHT yesterday that a
new engine house would be
erected shortly on Pine street,
and the engine from company No.
2 will be placed there, and the
chemical engine will be removed
from the Market street house to
avenue c, leaving only a hose real
at the house on Market street. The
new hose wagon, which will arrive
shortly will be placed at the en-
CINE house to be built on Pine
street. This improvement will
necessitate the appointment of four
more firemen and captain, which
will make fifty-siX men employed
in the entire department, besides
the chief. 1t will not be long
before the matter of appointing
an assistant chief will be brought
up for discussion in the council,
and it is quite probable that an
office Of that kind will be created.
Chief Duerler has made but one
change since his appointment as
fire chief, and stated yesterday
that at present the boys are all do
ing good work, and that for a time
no changes will be made.

The Value of Condiments.

Peppers aud peppery substances, salts,
etc., were destined to occupy place in the
history of edible foods-a supplementary
one, it is true, but no less important than
the position of executive officer on ship
which has captain in command. The
normal digestive fluids furnish the means
for disposing of foods taken into the sys-
TEN, says Mrs. Jenness Miller's Magazine
that is, for those which are Of charac-
ter necessary for the actual nourishment
of the body. They do not, however, have
sufficient strength to use up the superfu-
Gus matters in their ordinary flowing. A
condiment stimulates the secretions Of the
glands, and lends such an activity to di-
gestive powers that there is remarkable
contrast between continental and q
natural meal Peppers are not to be re-
commended to any great extent; neither Is
common salt alone to be advised. A pro-
per mixture of salt, pepper and celery
powder makes very good seasoning, with
sufficient pungency to secure what is de-
sired in the way of relish.
Pepper is simply general stimulant for
the digestive tract. It braces the stomach,
gives a sense of warmth, and causes flow
of the digestive fluids of the stomach.
Mustard has somewhat similar action,
while salt and vinegar serve the double
purpose of supplying the needs so far as
saline matters are concerned and rendering
oIeaginous matters fit for speedy absorr-
ton.
Tabasco, Worcestershire, pipricon and
other sauces have many merits, especially
when one partakes of fish or salads. A
dressing is absolutely necessary for a boiled
or baked fish, and no salad outside of the
watercress or celery is fit to be taken into
the stomach without the stimulus to diges-
tion which the dressing furnishes

Lifts an Elephant With His Teeth.

From the St. Louis Republic.
Milo, the famous athlete of ancient
Greece, the man who was victor at both
the Olympic and Pythian games for six
different times in succession, and whose
chief claim to fame rests upon the feat of
running four miles with 3-year-old OK
upon his shoulders, would hide his head
with shame could he visit London and
witness the wonderful feats performed by
Sullivan, the modern Samson. Sullivan
is only 81 years Of age and weighs but 16S
pounds, yet he is physical giant without
an equal in the known world. He regu-
larly goes through routine of feats illus
trative of his wonderful strength, the most
remarkable being the actual lifting Of an
elephant with his teeth.
The elephant is not a Jumbo, to besure;
neither is lie small, especially when you
come to consider the size of the man who
does the lifting and the usual dimensions
and strength of human teeth. The ele
phant daily and nightly swung like a
pendulum from Mr.. Sullivan's teeth is
known as "the infant" and weighs between
1900 and 1000 pounds This remark
able strong man is probably the only one
in the world who lifts more than 1000
pounds with the teeth alone. Another
favorite trick of his is that of lifting
barrel of water (566 pounds with one
finger.

Curious Funeral Doings.

The foreigners who work in eastern
Connecticut mills have some curious bur
ial customs, especially the Russian jews,
COO of whom dwell in Norwich. Not
long ago Russian Jew family had fu-
neral, and before the ceremony took place
the head of the house visited a local un-
dertaker, saying "Have you a coffin
with a movable bottom?,' He spoke in a
singular patois, and the undertaken had
great difficulty to comprehend his inten-
ton. He wanted ''show" coffin, in
which the body was to be taken to the
cemetery and lowered into the grave then
the coffin must be drawn out of the grave,
leaving its bottom lid, with the body in
the ground. The coffin was to be returned
to the undertaken, and the man pay him
for the use Of it. Poor Russians, it ap-
pears, are in the habit of burying their
dead in that way, and undertakers in that
country have supply Of show or "remov-
able collins to let They are handsome
and costly ones-too expensive to be pur-
chased outright by the poor-with elegant
lining and heavy silver trimmings The
bottom is fastened to the body of the coffin
with springs that may be tripped, and
then it is released, together with the body.
The body is left in a plain, cheap box.
The Norwich undertakers had no such
contrivance, so the poor Russian consulted
with his friends, who united with him in
having show coffin constructed and pay
ing for it. 1t is to be used by them
henceforth as community" coffin.
A curious incident in connection with
French Canadian funeral took place
recently at Putnam, manufacturing village
north of Norwich, The funeral was that
of beautiful little child. The train, a
very large one, with many carriages, had
gone little way down the main street of
Putnam, when it came to a halt in front of
Benoit's photograph gallery. The mourn.
ers alighted from their vehicles and gath
cred about the hearse, and the pail bearers
then removed therefrom the tiny white
coffin and carried it up stairs into the gal
lery, the mourners following them. The
coffin was set upright on table in the
middle of the room, and Dir. Benoit took
a photograph of the dead child's face in
its diamond-shaped coffin frame Then
the coffin was returned to the hearse and
the train went to thecemetery.
