E.encb Device Against Fire

The Theatre Francois, at Paris, has a
peculiar device to insure the greatest
possible safety for the audience. Not
only can the scene be separated from
the audience by a Theoretically closing
steel curtain, but the roof of the scene
can be uncovered ut a moments notice
so that n draught OF air Is produced,
which carries away the smoke and nox'
lous gases produced in the fire. These,
1t is said, constitute the greatest dan
ger to the audience, often rendering es-
cape quite impossible. 1t Is on the
scene that the fire usually breaks out.

"During my last visit TO Arizona |

that would strike a stranger as queer"
said a New York man who makes an
occasional visit TO the far West. a

the work done was not. in fact, the

THAT there was a time when this
wide valley. now being again redeemed
TO man. was a garden Of plenty, TEEN
Ing with Inhabitants, Is shown by the
extensive and regular system of broad
canals leading from the river, through
which water for irrigation was con.

These canals, though ehoked for cen

One of the best rules for profitable
farming is to always keep as much
young-growing stock as possible, and
to discard early that which because
of age Is declining in value. Food that
makes growth is always much more
productive than that given tile fully
grown animal which only requires to
be fattened. In a hog the first LOG
pounds cost less than the second hun.

most of Its food goes to maintain 1t,

little profit to the feeder.

There is u fish inhabitlng tropical
waters and often found along the Flori-
da and Gulf coasts known as the stin-
garee. Along its back and tail are sharp
splnes which infilct serious wounds aud
at the same time poison the flesh. As
a rule these wounds are very painful
but not dangerous, being much like the
sting Of n wasp or hornet.
DIR. Charles Spratt, a physician living
in Jacksonville, Fla. was fishing the
other day at the mouth of the st. Johns
River, and caught one OF these stin-
garees. While removing the fish from
the hook he was stung on the left
hand near the little finger. The pain
was intense and DIR. Spratt ordered his
boatman to row for Fort George Is
land. where DR.. McAuley lives. Be
fore the island was reached DIR. Spratt
was unconscious. DR.. McAuley was
unable to restore the injured man to
consciousness, so he sent for the sur
geon on board the United States ship
Wilmington, which was anchored near.
The doctor concluded that artificial
respiration was the only way to save
DIR. Spratt's life, and a number of ne
groes were employed alternately rails
ing and lowering his arms. This was
continued for ten hours, at the end of
which time DIR. Spratt wakened up and
in a short time was out Of danger.
This is the first instance in which the
sting of the fish has threatened serious
results.-New York World.

The Best Turkeys for Breedinp,

1t is not surprising that turkeys
should soon Il out and become Infer.
Tor in every. way, when we remember
How so many farmers choose their
breeding stock. All the late birds
stunted by corn feeding while young
are saved, while those that are large
and fine are sent to market. The idea
is that the small bird Will be fully
grown, and as large as the largest. by
spring. But it never IS. Saving the
best birds for breeders insures earlier
laying of eggs, and an early crop of
turkeys mex year.

Anti-SalOOn League Rally

A good sized audience of anti
saloon leaders met in Witness
hall last night. President Ze-
wadski called the meeting to or
der and made some inspiring re-
marks for the good Of the cause.
He introduced DR.. j. G. Law as
the leading speaker for the even
ing. 1t was regretted by all that
Rev. c. E. Powell was prevented
from being present on account of
sickness. He was on the pro-
gram for an address. Doctor
Law, in his usual dignlfied and
eloquent manner, gave seven
good and valid reasons why the
saloons should be closed. His
address was full of elevating
thought and practical sugges-
tions. He held the individual
attention of the audience from
start to finish. The president
remarked at the close of Doctor
Laws address that it ought to
be delivered to a great mass
meeting some evening in the pub
lie square so that everybody could
have an opportunity to hear it.
A committee consisting of the
President, Sheriff Hodge, Captain
Ditto, Doctor lzlar and f. L.
Ley, was appointed to confer
with the officers of the coIored
league of Ocala in regard to Sc
curing signatures to the petition
to calling wet and dry election.
A press committee Of two gen
tlemen and two ladies was APP
pointed to keep the work of the
league before the people by using
the columns of the Star. Sheriff
Hodge, Mr.. Cowen and others
made stirring talks ana the meet
ing was full Of enthusiasm. The
league will meet again next
Tuesday night in the Witness
hall, and all are cordially invited
to attend. There will be an in
teresting program, consisting of
music and speaking. The ladies
furnished inspiring music last
night, and those who were absent
missed treat. Mrs. Hilburn
and Mrs. Blake are both gifted
singers. President Zewadski is
throwing all the vim and energy
of his soul into the work and
with Doctor Law, we congratu-
late the league upon securing the
services of such able and compe-
tent a leader.
