To Any One Interested:
This is to certify that we made
purchase OF the "Stempel Fire Ex-
tinguishers, and to-day tested the
effectiveness of same on & small
building, with a big lot of dry kind
ling placed Oh the floor and set up
around the sides, and several gallons
of oil was poured on and the match
was applied The flames soon burst
forth out of the door and through
the top, throwing out considerable
heat. The Extinguisher was turned
on, and in short space OF time, and
to our entire satisfaction, the fire
was extinguished.
We take pleasure in endorsing the
"Stempel, as we believe it is per-
fectly reliable, and is very simple.
The writer used it with the greatest
ease Every mill man and manufac-
turer should have such machines, as
they are always ready for use.

1t has all along been intended to make
the grand street parades the marvellous
and most intensely interesting feature OF

spared to make them perfect in every
detail, and as imposing as genius, skill
aud art can make them.
Upon the fret day oil the celebration
was presented the historical exhibition.
That is passed and tonight will be car
nival night. This parade will be the
most unique and startling of them all.
1t will be accompanied by the fash OF
myriad lights and the reflection cast
upon bright trappings and gilded deco
ration. Colors will show brighter in the
glare, heightening the effect and making
it all the more startling and realistic.
Following this chief of police and
mounted officers will come the grand
marahal and staff. In the fret division,
led by Mr.. Peachy ard aids, will be the
carnival floats, the Indian float, with
the scalp dance and the Indians in cos-
tune; the Spanish galleon. with it's es-
cort of clowns; floats from San Diego,

A Curious Parasite.

1t is an old saying that every dog has
his day. According to an English au-
thority, that day is neither very long nor
specially comfortable in FIJI. 1t is i'm
possible to keep foreign dogs alive for
much more than couple Of years. Those
born there may live four years. The
cause of this mortality is a species of
worm that lives in the blood vessels, ar
teries and heart. Adult specimens of
this parasite sometimes measure as much
as five inches, and the blood of some an
imals is actually swarming with them,
Puppies aro often troubled with them,
although it seems to take about six
months to develop them to a troublesome
stage. When dog is attacked, it begins
with sharp barking, which is at once
recognized as the beginning of poor Fido's
last chapter. Thus far no remedy has
been found or even suggested. The same
parasite is found in dogs in eastern Asia,
and identical symptoms are noted. The
animal may live six months to two years
after the first indications are Observed

Calling Smith.

Miss Kate Field relates an experience
which she had in trying to sleep in a
hotel in Utah mining town where the
partitions between the rooms were of
boards merely and quite innocent of
lath and plaster. The ordinary going
and coming of the early part of the night
were bad enough, but toward morning,
when at last she had fallen asleep, a loud
voice shouted from her keyhole:
"Smithl Smith,
AS her name was not Smith, she made
no response.
''SmithP' came the shout again. "It's
time to skipi''
"My namo is not Smith" she then an
swered.
From across the hall came the call of
the day clerk, who occupied the room
there:
mo. That amt Smith. Smiths at
the end of the hall"
"Well, this is the end of the hail.
came from the neighborhood of the key
hole again. 1t was the voice of the por-
ter.
AREN'T there two ends to the hall7
It's the other end, you blockhead."
"Who wants SMITH" came a sharp
voice from the distance. ''I'm Smith"
whats the matter? I'm Smith, !"
came still another voice.
"Well, whichever Smith wants to get
up at o'clock, him's the one," growled
the porter.
Both these Smiths slammed their doors
with vehement protestation that they
didn't want to get up.
''It's Smith in No. Il" screamed the
day clerk.
The right Smith had not been walked
at all, so the porter found No. and
pounded on the door SO hard that every
body in the house who had not already
been walked was aroused, and several
people rushed out into the hall, thinking
there was a fire.
The porter went down complacently
to the Office on the floor below.
.'Well, said he to the night clerk, 81
walked him up anyhow"

he Was Rescued From Impending Death
by Clever Newspaper Rusc.
On tho battlefield Of Antietam Mr.. Nc
Cluro met General William J. Palmer,
then captain, and strongly urged him
not to continue his movements as a spy
after Lee mad crossed into Virginia, but
the gallant young soldier gave no prom
ise as to what he would be likely to do,
and the very first night after Lee crossed
the Potomac he was again in Lees camp
and brought back important information
90 General Mcclellan.
Again he returned and entered the
Confederate lines, and when he did not
report after a week it was assumed that
he had been captured and would proba-
bly, be executed as a spy. He had been
captured. was tried and condemned as a
spy and sentenced to be executed, but he
was saved by clever newspaper device
determined upon after a conference in
this city between President j. Edgar
Thomson of the Pennsylvania railroad,
Colonel Scott and Mr.. Mcclure. Thorn
son took special interest in Palmer, as he
had been his secretary, and was much at
tached to him.
1t was decided that Washington dis
patches should be prepared for all of the
Philadelphia morning papers announc-
ing the arrival at the capital of Captain
William j. Palmer, stating in what par
ticular lines Of the enemy he had oper-
i ated, and adding that he had brought
much important information that could
not be given to the public at the time,
These dispatches appeared next morning
in all the Philadelphia papers, promi-
nently displayed, and of course reached
the southern lines within 4S hours.
The result was that Captain Palmer's
identity was never established in Rich
mond, and his execution was thus sus-
pended. In a little while, when some
prisoners had been exchanged, there was a
vacancy made in the list of the exchanged
men by death. Palmer's friends had
him take the place and name of the dead
soldier, and he thus escaped and returned
to the service.-Philadelphia Times
