boarde7s lost heavily of personal property.
SUFFERING FROM COLD.
Every one in the line Of the fire moved
into the street. and the suffering from the
severe cold night was intense. The fire -
supposed TO have originated from a coal
stove in a room occupied by an engine
man who had gone out on his run during
the night. The volunteer iremen deserve
credit for their valiant service in checking
the flames, though their apparatus for con-
:racting a fire Is indeed measre.

All Timekeepers Are Inaccurate.

The capacity Of a watch for keep.
ing good time is very much governed
by its construction and its more or
less perfect finish. 1t cannot be ex-
pected Of the best horizontal watch
that it should always keep good time.
and even less so Of the inferior make
OF machine made watches which are
nowadays manufactured and sold for
$40, $50, and $50 I'm such large num-
'bers The changes Of oil, the varia-
ton in temperature, the diversity Of
humidity Of atmosphere, all greatly
affect the going OF a watch. Indeed,
1t Is only the most perfect finish
which neutralizes the adverse in
flnences to the greatest degree. AS
a matter OF fact, no watch keeps per-
fectly correct time, and even the best
chronometers used in observatories
and on board ships must be regulated
according to tables which are kept to
tx the variations to which all
watches are liable. New York

When anything boils over In the
oven. it should be allowed 70 burn 70
char, as it then may be easily
scraped OF and brushed out After
this the oven should be thoroughly
aired. It is q great mistake 70 bake
delicate dessert or cake or pie in
the same oven with q dish OF meat
which has been favored with onions
or strong spices The favor of the
meat will invariably affect the more
delicate dishes The shallow closet
under the baking oyens commonly
called the heating closet, where dishes
may be temporarily kept warm after
they are cooked, should be Kept as
clean as the stove oven. 1t is GER
tainly very disagreeable and hard
job to clean q stove which has been
neglected, but it is small matter TO
keep stove clean il you tegin at the
beginning and never allow it TO be-
come clogged with s"ot aud dust and
the debris Of food. The fiues or every
oven should be cleaned out once
month.

Tell That to the ..NI.rines."

A visitor to one OF our warships,
having heard an unlikely story
from companion. exclaimed,
'Oh, tell that to the marines" A
sergeant of marines scowied. He
turned to'a reporter who was stand
ing near, and said; SIT seems very
funny to some people to slur the ma
rineS They call US turkeys and
talk OF the horse marines and tell
all the. liars to come and spin their
yarns to US It's tiresome The ma
rines are just as useful as the sailors
and have as much to do I've been
Ia the service eight years, and tell
you the standing OF the marine corps
is every bit as good as the army The
men know as much and behave ~
well as any enlisted men In govern
ment service, and, between you and
me, they don't drink rs much as the
officers They don't get pay enough"

The Mexican Way.

We are far behind Mexico and the
other semi-civilized Spanish-Ameri-
can governments in our methods OF
dealing with desperate criminals
The following bit of sarcasm from tbs
Fresno Republican comes prest.
near pointing out the difference be.
tween the effective Mexican method
and the one employed in the United
States resulting in undue longevity of
the criminal classes:
''A dispatch from Mexico shows
how summarily they deal with ban
dts In that country. They are SIM
ply identified. No trial, no flowers,
no cards They haven't time to write
autographs in Young ladies' albums
nor to 'drcp into poetry" They are
merely led out before a platoon of
soldiers, and when the smoke of the
latter's guns has been lifted, there is
seen that grim, determined look of
reform upon the bandits faces, which
convinces every one that they will
rob no more. Black Bart, Sontag,
and Evans and the Amador County
highwayman never opened up bust.

The Hot-Water Remedy.

Are you busy, worried woman,
who comes home at night with
temples throbbing and every muscle
aching from fatigue? Ii 80, you often
say to yourself: II am dead tired,
and I haven't the ambition to dress
or even comb my hair for the even.
ing" Then you lounge about and 60
to bed about 9 o'clock with your head
still aching and your limbs just as
tired as when you came in. The next
time you feel that way just slip of
the waist of your gown, brush your
hair up on the top of your head, and
battle the back of your neck with hot
water. When the pain is a little re.
lieyed wash your face with the same
reviYer, and by the time that is done
you will feel like brushing your hair
and fixing up bit, or we are very
much mistaken. The hot-water cure
is quite as efficacious taken externally
as internally Philadelphia Times

Those Who Have Lived.

According to recent writer it is
impossible to give any close figures on
the number Of persons who have
lived on this earth. 1t is generally
considered that one person in every
thirteen dies each year. At this rate
the population would be renewed
every thirteen years. Assuming that
the population of the world is 1,OOO,-
900, 900, and that it has been 1,0O0,-
600, 900 at any time during the last
1000 years, we find that the popula-
tion has been renewed about 461
times; that is, that $1,000, 900, 900
have lived on this earth since the
creation. This, of course. is vastly
in excess of the real number, for the
world, so far as we can tell, is more
thickly populated now than ever be-
fore. Probably if we were to cut
those figures in two we should still be
above the actual number, with a to-
tai of 23l, 900, 900, 900 persons. There
are no figures on which to base an
estimate Of the population of the
world In Christs time. The census
taken when He was brought up to
Jerusalem has not come down to US;
if it had, it would have been of great
historical and sociological value.

Forty-fve Deering Irvine binders,

waving sea of wheat-such was the
sight that greeted the foreign commits.
'loners to the Worlds Fair during
sncirrecent famous visit to the bonanza

ng spectacle was Witnessed on the
sreas Elk Valley farm at Larimore, N.

nearly nineteen square miles, 10 200
acres OF which formed one unbroksn,

comprising fifty foreign diplomats,

representatives of the foreign
press, together with an equal
number Of Americans eminent in
worlds Fair, railroad and commercial
circles, had undertaken the discom-
Iorts OF thousand mile journey from
chicago; and the exclamations of de-
hight and surprise, and the cries of
bravo that rang out on the air
showed that their expecta tions were
vastly more than realized. From st.
Paul through Minnesota and North
Dakota they travelled rs guests of the
Great Northern railroad. and the
farther north they travelled the
warmer and more cordial was their re-
ception. Here at Larimore ,hey
found the climax of interest and the
height Of hospitality. They were

mayor, Gov. Shortridge and N. G..

and almost brsathlessly at first, they
viewed the mighty phalsnx of ma
chimes; then quickly alighting from
their conveyances they followed the
machines on foot, eagerly peering
into their mechanism, as II bent on
finding the secret Of their perfect, au-
tomato. almost roiseless action. For
an hour or more they followed the ma

Up in the northwest wilderness of
Maine some capitalists, who have
bought the timber lands OF seven
townships, are constructing an enor-
nous endless chain, worked by forty
horsepower engines, to convey their
logs over 2, 500 feet OF decline to the
waters Of Garry Brook, by which they
are to be swept into Moosehead Lake,
afd eventually reach the mills at
Gardiner by way of the Kennebec
River. The chain begins at the edge
OF a dam which has been formed
across the Penobscott at Seboomook.
Here the logs are collected The
chainlis Of steel, with links ia foot
long. Every eight feet there is q
''chair," or bar running across the
chain, and on either end of the bar
are iron standards tn hold the log in
place. The chain runs in a trough,
and the log rests on the chain and is
held in place by the iron standards.
The motive power will be two forty
horse power engines One will be To-
Gated In the center and one at the
further end Of the stretch, and it is
believed that the chain will move at
the rate Of 200 feet minute. While
this system of handling lumber. is by
no means novel, speeding an endless
chain at any such rate is new, but
competent engineers pronounce it pos
sible. 1t is expected that it viii carry
8, 900 pieces or 1000, 900 feet every
hours 1t is estimated
that it will cost not far from 25 cents
per thousand to carry the logs New
