Fire in the attic of the Dime Museum,
Washington and First avenues south,
caused about $1,000 damage. chiefly by
water, TO the building about o'clock
last evening, and created a panic among
the animals IN the curio hall It was
$40 when the fire was discovered by the
attendants in the curio hall Smoke was
seen issuing from the ceiling over the
Shooting gallery partition and by the
time the attendants had got word to the
floor below, where a show was in progress
on the vaudeville stage, the curio hall
was filed with dense smoke The various
exits were quickly thrown open and the
audience didn't lose any time IN getting
out, but nothing like a panic occurred,
all reaching the sidewalk in safety by the
time the fire apparJus arrived.
When the hremen reached the upper
floors holes were cut in the ceiling and
after an attempt to reach the fire with
three chemical lines, two water lines were
stuck UD in the holes and the fire in the
attic was drowned out. The peculiar con-
struction Of the attic did not permit the
fremen to get into it at all and the fire
couldn't be located, consequently the
drowning-out act was played.
The actors and actresses, seeing that
the fire was confined to the ceiling of the
third story and. was under control, made
their way back to the two stages to look
after their belongings. The salvage corps
had done It's work thoroughly and we'll,
however, hauling out theatrical trunks
and taking down the scenery from the

cloths. They don't get sour and grease
is quickly routed. If you will dissolve
a little boraX in the soap suds you
wash them in, they will keep pure and

dish towels, scrub cloths, bread cloths,
strainers, coffee bags. They are the
incest cloths for cleaning bric-a-brac.
You often use an old piece of gar
ment-clean to be sure-old pillow
case, etc., but they are rotten and have
served their purpose, but clean cheese
cloth is so cheap you feel you can af-
ford to buy it especially for busting
rags, dish cloths, etc. They are so

How to Clean a Piano.

l heard not long ago of a lady who
had been trying to find some way to
clean her piano. 1t had a dark case
with high polish, and had grown dull
and milky looking, as we'll as finger
marked.
She tried several preparations until
finally some one told her to wash it
with soap and water; this she dared
not do without consulting some one
with experience.
"A tuner was consulted, and he told
her that it was the best way he knew
of cleaning piano case provided prop
err care was exercised in doing the
work. He then told her to have a pan
of tepid soft water, cake of the best
white soap and several pieces of cot
ton flannel of the poorest grade-that
is sleazy and soft twisted.
One piece was to be used to apply
the soap to the piano, first wetting the
cloth and then applying it to the piano,
rubbing only over a small place at a
time.
Then wet another piece Of the cloth
and rub the same place to remove all
the soap; a third piece was to be used
to dry, to absorb the moisture left on
the wood. The work must be done
rapidly, as the soap ought not to be

is just ready to boil, but not permitted
to boil and be taken at once, just as
hot as one can sip it, teaspOonful at
a time. One should never drink a glass
of milk down at one or two swallows,
as many do. 1t should be taken a
small quantity at a time, and we firm
ly believe that it would be a good plan
to adopt the rule never to drink any
milk that had not first been raised to
the boiling point. The writer would
about as soon think of ordering glass
filled out of the swiH pail as a glass Of
milk at a hotel or a restaurant. We
may say in conclusion that the above
remarks are not founded on hasty the
DRY, but are the result of practical eX
perience and careful thought on the
subject.

left on the polished service for any
length of time. When using the last
piece of cloth it is necessary to rub
briskly to give polish.
The whole case must be gone over
in the same way, and if directions are
carefully followed the piano will look
like new one; but if a stiff quality of
cotton flannel is used the surface will
