PRECAUTIONS Against Fire.

By reason of the great number of pupils
In the North school, between nine hundred
and one thousand. and because the building
Is three stories high, Mr.. Parmenter. the
principal, has deemed it wise to ascertain
the smallest time possible required for all
the pupils and teachers to pass out in an
orderly manner. The experiment was tried
Tuesday afternoon. at O'clock, with very
satisfactory results. The six hundred or
more pupils on the first and second floors
were out in just two minutes and after that
the three hundred pupils on the third floor
got out in three minutes. Mr.. Parmenter
estimates that if the pupils on all three
floors had been started at the same time the
building could have been emptied in trifie
less than three minutes. OF course, in case
of actual need, the pu ills, under the same
system of discipline, could get out some
what quicker.

A WoMAN's ENTERPRISE.

Interesting Development of a Novel Bust
ncssHow Two Young Ladies and Their
Father Are Making and Selling Hun
dreds of Loaves of Bread Daily.
Several years ago. Miss Laura Milliken
of this city, was the cashier at Geo. C.
Sahw & Co. s store. Her eyes failed her
and she resolved to do something else
Her aunt. who lived in New Bedford,
OF bread making, and she took her
advice and instruction and began to make
homemade bread. That was three years
ago next February. With the aid of her
sister Mary, and her father, the business
was begun in their own home, and at
the first of it they made but 10 or Is ten
cent loaves per day. This rapidly in
cresed. Thesbread was taken by groc-
lers, and people seemed to like it.
Now they have two large ovens in
their home, and have all they can do to
fill their orders They are making from
200 to 300 loaves per day. But this is
the quietest season of the year. All last
summer the two young ladies and their
father made from $50 to 400 loaves per
day, and on Fourth of July they made
$50 loaves'
The demand for bread is greater in the
summer than any other time, because
people don't like to keep hot fires to
cook bread in their homes, whereas in
the winter they keep coal fires all the
time, and are more l1kely--tc make their
own bread.
The Milliken family begin their days
work at O'Clock in the afternoon. The
daughters mix the dough, and the father
and young son attend to the fires, etc.
All night long somebody is on duty,
watching the bread and keeping the
temperature of the room at the right
point for the dough to rise properly. On
a cold winter night the fires must be
kept up. On hot summer night the
dough must sometim es be set out of
doors.
They begin to bake the bread at
about 4.3O in the morning and bake
till moon. In the afternoon they sleep
or do what they please.
By great care as to the quality of their
homemade bread they have built up
this business, and truly for them
bread is the staff of life.

Townshend issued. Monday morning Curtt
was taken before the justice, Samuel Clarke
of Freeport, being his attorney. Mr.. Perry
appeared for the society. After half a days
trial Curitt was fined So and cost.

THE ENGLISH STEAMERS.
Loading Sheep ON the Laurentisn-other
Notes.

Ten car loads of large, shaggy sheep
arrived over the Grand Trunk yester-
day for the steamer Laurentian. They
came from Montreal There were over
1900 of them, and it is many years since
SO many sheep formed part of the cargo
of steamer at this port. In fact we
cannot learn that 1t ever happened here
before.
The driving of the sheep from the
cars onto the ship was the occasion OF
great hustle and noise. With two fenc-
es, a narrow lane was made leading
across the warehouse and down into the
numerous pens on the vessels deck.
DR.. Huntington was there to inspect the
condition of the sheep, and also to see
that they were not cruelty treated. One
man, who seemed to have charge. start
ed the sheep from the first car, and be-
gan pushing them along, at the same
time giving utterance TO series of cries
that were supposed to initiate the
barking of dogs. He told all the other
men to do the same thing, and that the
sheep would be frightened thereat and
come along rapidly. Some of the men
tried it, but they weren't good imitators
and it made. them feel as well as (sound)
SO foolish that they soon gave it up.
The less noise there was the better the
sheep behaved. but bewildered in the
narrow lane and pens, they frequently
refused to move, like SO many balky
horses, and had to be showed along by
main strength. The pens are on the OPP
deck, in two tiers, and are rooted ov-
or. OF course, out at sea, If any water
comes aboard the sheep get il, but their
wool is SO thick that they can stand all
this exposure without harm or suffering.
The great quantity of peas, in bulk,
that is sent across in the steamers, come
from Canada. where they are raised
like SO much corn or wheat, ana
threshed out like any grain. Canada is
a great country for peas. The Grand
Trunk warehouses contain now large
boxes of sailed pork sides, from Canada,
marked "pea-fed." The peas that 60
across to England are used for feeding
animals as we'll as for pea soup.
