OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The President of the Board Has Submitted
His Report.

President John II. Frischkom. of the
Board OF Fire Commissioners, has sub
m:ttel his annual report for the year
| ending December 81. 1894. 10 the Mayor
| ana the City Council. The report says;
| The question OF our water supply is
| the most serious obstacle that confrOnts
| the department. and our most prolific
| supply, the basin and canal is rapidly
| being lost 10 us by the filing Of said sup
| py by its owners. who have little use for
il. our streets are hoHeycOmbed with
four-inch mains. which wili supply about
one engine; and at those points where our
| largest factories are located, in many
II stances, are our weakest water points.
Nothing so discourases the depart
ment as 10 be confronted with a danger
Gus fire and weak supply of water; and
yet we feel grateful 10 the honorable
Committee ON Water for their Kind CO.
operation at all times though they are
unable always 10 afford relief. We were
required al the HardgrOve factory fire,
where tobacco factories abound 10 pump
water from the dock. one-quarter of
mile away, while two engines got scant
supply from the Main-street main.
THE NerD or cIsTTRSs
III We could secure cisterns a; the IN
tersection Of our principal blocks, sup
piled from the mains, We could, at
treat saving of hose and machinery, con
centrate AT a tire ana perhaps speedily
extinguish il. while al present We are
often required TO force water Soo feet,
the entire nose equipment of an engine
company.
.The board further believes that there
should be an ordinance requiring all
hotels and places where persons are
lodged to supply facilities for escape IN
event of fire. and electrical methods for
awakening guests.
NV FEATURE.
AN important feature has been ADDED
TO the system. whereby the Chief En-
gineer at intervals orders an inspection
throughout the COMMERCIAL district, not
only requiring tenants and owners to
Keen their premises free from tuhanmabie
rubbish. but acauaintins the individual
members with the construction Of said
tLlidihes. facilitating very largely The

Your earliest attention is again called
to the multiplying of wires overhead

at fires; and con luits are the only prOpe'

carly future these will be built.
CPRN INwARDLY.
THE board further recommends that |
there should be an ordinance re- |
luiring al buildings that have windows |
and doors ironed or timed, 10 be so ar |
ranged that they must be made 10 open |

Occasional constipation becomes chron-
ic. Bowels won't work. Stomach gets
sour and generates gas. Liver gets full
of bile, Bile gets into the blood. Head
aches come, dizziness, loss of appetite,
loss Of sleep, foul breath, distress after
eating--and all because Nature did not
have the little help she needed.
One Of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
would start the poisonous matter in the
way it should go, If there's good deal
of it, better take two--that's a mildly
cathartic dose.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets never
gripe and they caye permanently. You
needn't take them forever - Just long
enough to regulate the bowels - then
stop. In this way You don't become a
slave TO their use as with other pills.
Once used, they are always in favor.
Some designing dealers do not permit
their customers to have DR.. Pierce's Pei
lets because inferior pills afford greater
profits. Such dealers are short-sighted.
They overlook the fact that next time
you will go where you are supplied with
what you ask for.

The Bicycle in Japan.

The all-conquering bicycle has in
vaded Japan and is now familiar
sight in the land of the jinrikisha. The
Europeans take to it kindly and the
little brown men and women are
equally enthusiastic. The government
has equipped many of its postmen
with roadsters, especially those who
deliver mail in the suburbs or in the
country districts. In each brigade a
bicycle corps has been formed who
are daily drilled in about the same
style as similar organizations in the
armies of Europe. The Japanese
people themselves still regard the
wheel as great curiosity, but are
beginning to both master and manu-
facture it. Some of the Japanese
women have adopted a queer bicycle
costume that is combination of the
bloomers with the native dress. 1t is
neither Japanese nor European. Com
bined with the upper part of the
Ramona costume the Japanese ladies
clothe their neither limbs in what
are neither knickerbockers, trousers,
zouaves nor boomers. The ludicrous
effect is heightened by the girl having
a national habit of turning the toes in
developed to its largest extent. All
that you see when she passes you is
pair of round and pretty heels wab-
bling in an uncertain manner and
little body coiled up that makes you
think of gay little monkey on top of
a pole.
