One Building Marks the Site.
The walls of the schoolhouse, all iron
feLce about the town hall property, a
bank vault and ONE absolutely unin-
injured clubhouse is all that is lefs to
mark the site of Hinckley where yes
terday stood score of buildings and a
dozen times as many dwelling houses.
The story OF the catastrophe is short
one. The town was built of wood
The schoolh ouse, which was erected
last year at a cost of $40. coo, and half
of the Eastern Minnesota railway
roundhousa were the ouly brick struct-
ures in the city. By one of those pc
culiar freaks for which there IS no ac-
counting. the Ioundhouse and water
tank on the southwestern edge OF town,
almost in the woods, escaped the flames
"a circumstance more remarkable from
the fact that it stood directly in the
path of the flames, which seems to
have jumped as cleanly as if playing
leap-fIog.
Fire Company Useless.
All yesterday forenoon the towns.
people Were apprehensive. The fife
kept advancing, tanned By the wind,
which was blowing gale. About ii
O'clock the fire company got out their
engine and laid an 1880 foot line OF
hose to the southern outskirts of town.
The hose wns too short and telegram
was sent TO Sioux City for more. Saw
eral hundred feet was sent, but il never
reached Hinckley.
Fire Came IN Huge Leaps.
About o'clock in the afternoon the
fire literally jumped into town. 1t did
not eat its way along, devourng every
thing in its path, but came in huge
leaps as ii TO tuke everything before it.
1t appeared as if IL were forced along by
cyclones of its own generation. An in.
tense heat would develop into very
whirlwiud of flame that carried huge
blazing brands high in the air, and
carrying them forward for from 40 TO sc
rods let them fall, and then began the
work of devastation anew.

some of The Queer Things Ignorant
Mothers Have Done for Centuries.
In Ireland a belt made of a wo-
mans hair is placed about a child to
keep harm away, says Ba6yhood,
and garlic, salt, bread and steak
are put into the cradle of a new
born baby in Holland.
Roumanian mothers tie red ribbons
around the ankles of their children
to preserve them from harm, while
Esthonian mothers attach bits OF
asafptida to the necks of their off
spring.
Welsh mothers put pair Of tongs
or knife in the cradle to insure the
safety of their children; the knife is
also used for the same purpose in
some parts of England.
Among Vosges peasants children
born at new moon are supposed
to have their tongues better hung
than others, while those born at the
last qnarter are supposed to have
less tongue but better reasoning
powers. A daughter born during
the waxing moon is always preco-
cious.
At the birth of child in Lower
Brittany the neighboring women
take it in charge, wash it, crack It's
Joints and rub its head with oil to
solder the Uranium bones. 1t is
then wrapped in tight bundle and
its lips are anointed with brandy tC

The London woman places a book
under the head of the newborn
infant that it may be quick at read

The Turkish mother loads her
child with amulets as soon as it is
born, and a small bit Of mud, steep
ed in hot water prepared by previous
charms, is stuck on its forehead.
In Spain the infants face is swept
with pine tree bough to bring

If Mr.. Davies has the philos-
cphy of the late Mr.. Isaacstein
he will admire the clock-like pre-
cision with which he was hurried
down the official stairs at Wash
iugton. Mr.. Isaacstein, as will be
remembered, went into the whole
sale house of Rothschild & Katzen-
TANNER to order a bill of goods.
AS he mounted from one story to
another he angered the clerks by
his attempts to belittle the quality
of the wares. Finally the sales
man on the sixth floor gave Mr.
Isaacstein a kick which sent him
headlong down the staircase. The
clerk on the fifth floor repeated the
process as did all the clerks below,
and in two minutes from the time
he left the upper story Mr.. Isaac
stein had been booted out of the
front door into the street, where
he was instantly run over by a
horse car. When he pulled him
self out of the mud pleased and
respectful look came on his face
and he murmured: "Vat a beautiful
seestem !" At any rate, Mr..
Davies is in a fit condition just
now to appreciate the moral.
