Baker City, Ore, Aug. 2O.-A special
from Pine, Ore, says there is a great tim
Der fire raging on North Pine and Fish
creeks. A vast destruction of forest is
threatened. The weather is so suitable to
fires in the mountains that it will be inn
possible to stop the conflagration. Rain
would be the only check, and it is hoped
the threatened thunderstorms will bring
on the long hoped for downpour. The fire
is likely to prove destructive to much
ranch property. One family was compelled
to move to save themselves.

CAR OF POWDER EXPLODED,
Freight Train Was Consumed by
Fire,

Ashland, Ore, Aug l9.-An explosion
of dynamite which occurred at tunnel No.
7, six and q half miles north of Glendale,
demolished an entire freight train on the
Southern Pacific. An extra train, COM
posed of 26 cars with three engines, was
Just emerging from Tunnel No. Z, which
is short one on a sharp curve in the
track about 100 feet long, when the train
parted, the air hose breaking and the sud
den jar causing the dynamite in the two
rear cars to explode. The entire train was
destroyed, except the engine and that was
injured somewhat. There were 10 cars
of melons, two of powder, two of fruit
and the remainder miscellaneous. The ex-
plosion was felt for miles around the sur
rounding country.
A car filled with acid took fire and the
flames spread to the dry brush and tim
Der, causing fierce conflagration. Cow
creek, which runs along the side of the
track at this point, was filled with debris
and burning wreckage. The buildings of
the Victory mine, half mile distant, were
badly shattered, and in a house mile
distant from the scene, sick woman was
thrown from her bed by the force of the
shock, her arm and shoulder being badly
dislocated in the fall.
Train Crew Escaped.
The train crew miraculously escaped
with only few bruises and scratches. A

At least IL cars were blown to atoms
and can not be accounted for, even their

The tunnel, fortunately, appears to be I'M

torn for great distance.

CROOKED NEW YORK FACES.
An Effect of Nervous Tension Which
II Cincinnati Man Thinks
He PerceiSeS.

The thing that mas Impressed me
most during my two weeks stay in
this town. remarked a man from
Cincinnati, reports the New York sun,
"is the crooked faces of New York
people. BY crooked, 1 mean face
whose two sides are not mates. Really,
the man whose face looks the same on
the right and the left side is rarity
and when l run across one l set him
down as a stranger in town.
Il suppose this facial popularity is
more or less prevalent everywhere, for
it is said that the people whose faces
are exactly alike on both sides are few,
but in New York it is unduly pro-
nounced. Women are afflicted as
we'll as the men, and l have met
scores of women who would be very
pretty We're it not for that inevitable
disarran gement of features that char
acterize one side of the face.
I'm the majority of eases it is the
left side that is out of whack. Either
the mouth is screwed up at one corner
or the nose tips to one side or the eye
is drawn up into a repre- hensible squint.

fections are combined in one face, wit h

in for good measure. Actually have
met people here whose faces had SO
many different EXPIRE ssions according
to the point of view, that it was with
difficulty l could persuade myself that
the right side was any blood relation
to the left side.
Il asked a physician for an explana
ton of this Disagreement and he as
sured me that it was all due % high
nervous tension. He also went on to
say that if my own stay here should
be prolonged much beyond two weeks
I might as well resign myself to bid
ding good-by to my own mobile ex-
preston. for q mobile expression is
not compatible with present urban
conditions.
''To pick ones way through crowd
ed streets, looking II ways for Sun
day at one time lest ones life be for
feited at the next step as the price

ducive to classic cast. of countenance.
This is probably the cause of New
Nork'S myriads of crooked faces. but
it really does seem a great pity that
the good looks of 100000 people
should be offered up as a sacrifice on
the shrine of public improvements"

After pointing out that ideal bread

NEVER LACKS MUSHROOMS.
French Professor Resorts to Insen-
ious scheme for Obtaining
Constant supply

Mushrooms are regarded as a Won
derful delicacy by many persons in
France, and one of them, Il learned
professor, has just discovered an ad-
mira bic method for keeping himself
cons family supplied with them, says
the New York Herald
He has been wont for years to
search for mushrooms in the woods
of Meudon, and recently he was much
annoyed to find that several other
persons had come there on the same
errand. True. mushrooms were album
dant, but the professor is not as
young or as active as he used to be,
and the consequence was that the
best of the crop was plucked every
morning before he arrived at the
woods, and he had to search for a
long time before he could fill even
u small basket.
An ingenious thought then struck
him. Seating himself at his desk. he
wrote six paragraphs on many
slips of paper and mailed them to
the six leading newspapers in the
neigh borhood. The ragraphs were
not worded exactly alike, but their
import was the same. THAT it is
dangerous" one of them read ito
Satner mus nroonS IN tne WOODS OF
Meudon may be seen from the fact
that a whole family became sudden
ly sick yesterday after eating what
were supposed to be mushrooms.
The physician at once said that it
was a case of poisoning, and ex-
pressed doubt whether Mime. M
would recover"
These paragraphs, which were duly
published, produced the desired ef--
feet. Since then not one of the epi-
cures who annoyed the professor has
been seen in the woods, and he has
all the mushrooms he wants for him
self.

ENJOYMENT OF LIFE.
The Smile That Sits Serene Upon tn e
Face of Wisdom Is Source
OF Longevity.

It may be that some enthusiast tic
and laborious German statiStician has
already accumulated figures bearing
upon the question of length Of life and
its relation to the enjoyment thereof;
if so, we are unacquaintcd with his
results and yet have a very decided
notion thai people who enjoy life, cheer
full people, are also those to whom
longest life is given. Commonplace
though this sounds, there is no truth
more commonly ignored in actual ev-
eryday existence. "Oh, yes, of course,
Worry shortens life and the content
ed people live to be old" we are
ready to say, and yet how many peo-
pie recognize the duty of cheerful
ness? Most persons Will declare that
if man is not naturally cheerful
he cannot make himself so. Yet this
is far from being the case, and there
is many man who is at present a
weary burden to his relatives, miser
able through the carking care of
some bodily ailment, perhaps, OF
some worldly misfortune, who, if he
had grown up into the idea that to
be cheerful under all circum 5 tanceS
was one of the first duties of life,
might still see pleasant enough
world around him. Thackeray truly
remarked that the world is for each of
us much as we show ourselves to the
world. If we face it with a CHEEKY ac-
ceptance we find the world fairly full
of cheerful people glad to see us. If
we snarl at it and abuse it we may be
sure of abuse in return. The discon-
tented worries of Il morose person may
very likely shorten his days, and the
general Justice of natures arrange
ment provides that his early depar-
ture should entail no long regrets. On
the other hand, a man who can laugh
keeps his health and his friends are
glad to keep him. Too commonly,
though, as childhood is left behind the
habit fails, and half-smile is the best
that visits the thought-lined mouth
of a modern man or woman. People
become more and more burdened with
the accumuiations of knowledge and
with the weighing possibilities of
life, but they should still spare time
to laugh" Lancet,
