now unusually cold, and he is going to

A movement has been started in
Kansas to have a tornado cave attached
to every school house as refuge for
the children in times of those destruc-

tornado drills have been instituted, the
pupils being instructed to file out in
military order, the signal being sounded
by the school piano when there is one;
when there is none it is given by word
of mouth 1t is rather like a fire drill

damage under most peculiar circum-
stances in Detroit. One wholesale firm
occupies a five story brick building and
another company has the adjoining
store in the same building. y watch
man noticed water dripping through the
ceiling of the latter store ard, being I'M
able to effect an entrance, notified the
fire department. A door was then
forced and the water supply was SMUT
off. An investigation showed that one
of the plugs in the automatic sprinklug
system had been forced out by the heat
on the top floor, and the entire five
floors were flooded before the trouble
was discovered. The company manu-
featured woolens and pants, and the
loss will be very heavy. The plug was
directly beneath skylight and was set
for 100 degrees The entire eastern side
of the adjoining store, which contained
furnishings and quantities of cheaper
goods. was soaked with water and it
was found that the heat had forced an
other plug.

There is much speculation in regard
to the cause of the Mississippi floods,
which are more frequent and destruc-
tive as the years roll on. Landscape
gardeners who have to do with ponds,
lakes and small streams have learned
that the earth brought down practically
narrows the conduits and outlets. There
is not the room for the SAFE volume of
water as there originally was. The i'm
mense volume of earth carried to the
mouth Of the Mississippi annually prac-
tically raises the high water mark.
Therefore, unless some method of jetty-
ing by which the waste earth can be
carried farther from the mouth channel
or some new additional outlet be form
ed, the danger must increase AS the
years roll on. -Meehan's Monthly.

Take, for instance, the flowers of

stems, when put into water, slough

odor. There are two remedies which
may be applied in this case. Either one
should put mild disinfectant in the
water and frequently change 1t or cut
off the ends of the stalks at short inter

Another flower whose stem most rap

MT. NEBO AND SAWDUST VALLEY

Mt. NEBo, Sept. 6.-The spirit Of
death, which has for some time been
lowering over the home of one of our
neighbors and friends, descended on
last Tuesday night at 10 O'Clock, Aug.
81, and bore the spirit of Robert Linn,
Jr., to its heavenly home. He had been
battling for several months with that
wasting disease, consumption, when
death came AS a happy release. De-
ceased was about 81 years of age. He
was happily. married to Miss Maud
kinzer on the eve of December 3, 1896.
About a week before his death he pro-
fessed religion and joined the NJ. f..
Church, and expressed himself as per-
fectly ready and willing to meet death,
but greatly desired to be able to attend
church once more. Being denied this,
he met the end in the full triumph of Il
living faith. He leaves devoted wife,
n sOrrowing mother, father and two
brothers, besides number of friends,
who regret to hear of his death Nav
God comfort the young wife, who never
left has bedside but administered to his
every want so tenderly and faithfully.
May He hea. the broken hearts and
make them to feel that they have only
a tie which binds them closer to heav-
Ell. He was laid to rest in NebO church
ers, tributes of love from those who
were his friends in life. Lightly rests
the sod and softly blows the grasses
DER his grave. His death was only a
transition from this life to one eternal.

charge will be held at Nebo next Satur-
day and Sunday Services will be pro-
tracted throughout the week, conducted
