Ammonia as a Fire Extfnguisher.

Probably the best fire extinguishing
liquid is aqua ammonia, without any
addition whatever. We have personally
had experience with the almost mar
velous power of this substance in this
direction. In one instance, where fire
had originated probably from spon-
taneous combustion, in a pile contain
ing several IONS of cotton seed, and the
interior of which was almost a solid
body of live coal, a half gallon of am
monia completely smothered the fire.
In another, which occurred at Sa-
venay, France, the vapors of a tank
containing 30 gallons of gasoline caught
fire in the linen room of a laundry. The
room was instantly a mass of living
flames, but a gallon and a half of am
monia water thrown into it completely
and almost Immediately extinguished
the fire. The ammonia was in a glass
demijohn in an %apothecary shop next
door to the laundry and was thrown
into the room by the druggist as an ex-
pertinent. So completely was the fire
extinguished hat workmen were en-
abled to enter the room almost imme-
diately. where they found the iron tank
Of gasoline intact. -National Druggist.

He Ended the Feud.

When the Republicans were about
to nominate somebody to run for gov
ernor in 1874, there were candidates in
all parts of the woods. The day of the
convention, however, ''Uncle Dick
went down and, without having present
any semblance Of candidacy other than
his own personality, he was nominated
by reclamation.
His brother in-law, David T. Littler,
was a candidate for state treasurer.
He had been to some pains to make hic
candidacy an organized feature of the
days preceding the convention. When
Oglesby was named for governor, Lit
tier was put out of the calculations by
reason of coming from the next county
and was side tracked in consequence.
Although Mrs. Oglesby and Mrs. Lit
aler were sisters, the houses of Oglesby
and Littler were far apart from that
time. The heads were so completely
e%stranged that one did not speak to the
other. For ten years they remained
strangers.
Littler lived in a great old fashioned
mansion in Springfield. Oglesty live
on his farm near Elkhart. One day, to
the surprise of the Littler family. ex-
Governor Oglesby walked in.
"How are you. Dave?" said the ex-
governor.
"How are you, GOVERNOR said Lit
tier, as he struggled against his aston
ishment. Then the extended hand of
the unexpected visitor was cordially
grasped.
II came to take dinner with you.
Dave"
"Well, I'm glad of it," answered
Littler, as he took the hat and coat of
his caller.
"Is the whisky bottle in the same
old place. DaveF"
sit is, and there's whisky in it,"
And that was how the family feud
ended forever Chicago Tribune.

Blood and Beer.

Blood and beer flowed together
last Monday night in an Austrian
settlement at Boston heights, Great
Falls, and a resident named Marian
was killed in in a fight where broken
bottles and butcher knives were the
implements of war. John Zupan-
chich, alias Cranzer, alias Supan, al
las Supton, is missing. The latter is
accused of the crime. Sheriff Proc
tor has wired the surrounding towns
a description of the slayer as follows:
Austrian, from province of Grain;
height . #. 3; weight no; heavy set,
brown dropping mustache, brown
hair, gray eyes, full face, wore black
shoes and brown clothes.
Late advices tend to indicate that
he has already been jagged at Havre
