For the sauce p. the principal thing.
The German heart will never depart
From sausages NIT beer,
In .21cicut Rome. IN each stately home,
Poacocks were thought good cheer.

The stuff called caviarc,
The Spaniards sigh and eat humble PIC.

And dovs and cats galore;
But all these meats must take back seats,
When tue Turkey takes the floor
From his legs, so brown, the Juice runs

And his breast in snowy white;
And I'm sure Wen say, we give thanks,

gasoline fires numbered 81. or nearly 10

gasoline fires numbered 81, or nearly 10
per cent OF the total number.
Captain McGregor. of the Salvage Corps,
says that so far as he is aware San Fran
cisco is the only city to legisIate against
gasoline thus far. In that city the danger
to life and property became so great, not
to speak Of the constant risk the fremen
ran, that the use Of gasoline was prohib
tied probably on account of the large num-
Der Of frame buildings in that city.
Every time the fire apparatus is called
out to a gasoline fire, which may not in
itself involve much damage, there is the
danger of accident to apparatus or men IN
answering the alarm and the added dan
ger that while on a fruitless chase OF this
kind the ire-f1ghters may be more urgent
ly needed at some other place.
The increased use Of kerosene or coal oil
stoves in Baltimore is pushing gasoline
for first place in the causation OF fires. Ac-
cidents from these stoves are causing more
fires each week. II most cases the fires
from gasoline or coal oil are due to the
careless use of the inf1ammable fluids, such
as filing stoves while they are lighted or
handling the fluids in room where there
is a light or FIRE of some kind. Fapor or
gas of a highly inaanmahle nature arises
from the fluids, a spark ignites it and an
explosion is the result with more or less
damage to life and property.
