MUCH SMOKE, LITTLE FIRE
An Incident That Livened Things
 up Yesterday Afternoon. /

The fire bell range yesterday after noon about 1 o'clock, the alarm being turned in from box at the engine house and in two minutes there were 376S people headed toward the Salvation army barracks; the biggest crowd that ever-sought those quarters in this town.
 The fire proved to be in the kitchen of Alexander Foster. who lives in the rear of the barracks, and was caused by little child dropping a lighted match into a box of paper near the stove. Mir. Foster was near at hand and went to work at once to put out the fire. which he succeeded in doing with the help of the chemical ater the inner wall of the room had been pretty badly scorchd gasoline stove was in the room and the fire was right over 1t but 1t did not get hot enough to explode the reservoir. else there might have been different tale to tell
 The livery barn of Sturgis & Stevens adjoins the barracks, and had the fire gained much headway there might have been serious results. The stablemen took no chances and in short order the barn was emptied of buggies and all the horses except sick one. The engine and hose wagon made remarkably quick time and were out almost by the time the bell rang for the reason that they saw the man giving the alarm. But the chemical truck was provokingly delay ed by an unusual accident. When the bell rang the horses jumped to their f.la ut A,.s ceiling which holds the harness for the near horse. Dan. gave way and fell on his back. frightening him so he jumped and made run for the street. He was caught Tn front of Frakes stable and led back to his position. It was only delay of minute or two but it seemed a half an hour to the driver. who, like all good flremen. Is humlliated when anything goes wrong to cause a loss of time.

" Sg2afer Keeps Men Azf.G,e y

It is no secret to medical men and
physiologists that there is a great deal
Of nourishment in water Even Ehat
which is sterilized contains enough OF
solids to keep a human being from
death for a long time. During pro-
longed fast the loss of weight is un-
usually rapid at first and decreases as
time goes on. Death ensues when a
certain percentage of the loss has been
reached, and this percentage varies ac-
cording to the original weight. Fat
animals may lose half their weight,
thinner ones perhaps two-fifths, man
or woman Of rather spare build, weigh
ing 143 pounds, might, therefore, lose
about ffty-fve pounds before sue
cumbing. Children die after a fast OF
from three to five days, during which
they have lost a quarter Of their
weight. Healthy adults, however, have
tasted fifty days when water has been
taken. A German physician reports
the case Of woman aged AZ years,
who tasted for forty-three days, TAX
ing water freely. She lost forty-four
pounds of 143 pounds and died from
exhaustion.

Swiss Town to Abolish Fuel.

The town Of Davos. writes a Swiss
correspondent, is considering a bold
scheme for the abolition of all the or
dir iry forms of fuel. 1t is proposed to
erect an extensive electric plant at the
confluence of two large mountain tor
rents, whose united waters will supply
the necessary motive force. A large
firm of Swiss electricians has been
studying the problem for over year
and has obtained the concession of the
forces of the torrents alluded to. The
same firm has bought out new electric
heating and cooking apparatus especial
ly designed for the scheme. The first
cost Of the installation is estimated
to be S,500,000 francs. Already cleo
tricity is not only used for lighting
and motive power, but is adopted in
many villas for cooking and heating
and in one of the largest bakeries. The
idea is to do away with all contamina-
tion of the air by the use of fuel.

Two Kinds of Ears.

Aunt Hetty had way of looking
into the children's rooms after the
folks had all gone to bed. She did this
to see If the little ones were comfort
able.
1t was summer time, and one night
her nephew, Charlie who had come
from the city on a visit, was tucked
away in one of the little beds upstairs.
Charlie was not asleep, and the sight
of Aunt Hetty coming in with a
lighted candle in her hand made him
open his bright eyes wider,
Il hope you are not i'll. my dear?"
asked aunty, going close to the little
white bed.
"No. indeed" said Charlie, smiling.
am listening to the noise. It's nice
noise, though" he added, thoughtfully,
for fear his criticism of his surround
ings might offend. This. by the way.
was Charles first visit to the country.
Aunt Hetty looked little aston
ished. "Why it's as quiet as can be-"
she said. perhaps you have been
dreaming. What kind of a noise did
You think you heard?"
ut goes whiz, whiz, cheep, cheep,
.cheep-i-ty, cheep-i-ty, and buzz, buz-z-z,
all the time" said Charlie, initiating
the sounds that he heard.
Aunt Hetty smiled. "Ah, these are
country noises. Charlie. Numberless
little insects live in the trees and
shrubbery, you know. and they are all
tir-
sound after while, and not notice it."
The next day some one referred to
the noise that had kept Charlie awake,
and this made Cousin Mabel laugh.
"To think of a city boy talking
about the noise of the countryr she
said. "I'm sure where you live it's
rattle, rattle over the stony pavements

wonder how you can sleep at home"
81 don't believe l ever hear the big
noises," said Charlie, with puzzled
air.
And then Aunt Hetty explained
something that no one else had
thought Of "Charlle has city ears"
she said. "Hc is so accustomed to the
rattling, loud noises of the streets that
he doesn't think Of listening to them,
but here in the country quietness he
hears everything. Mabel and the rest
OF us have country ears, so we don't
hear the noises of the insects at night:
or rather, we don't notice them be-
cause we hear them so constantly.
Yes, there are two kinds of ears, and
1t is good for those with country ears
to be told how many noises there are
fer them to listen to. Some of these
noises are musical, and all of them
are interesting. Suppose we try for
awhile to hear country noises with
city ears."-Yopth's Companion.

The exercise of the highest faculties
of the mind is not only stimulating,
but creates the highest character
Perhaps there is nothing else which
has such magical effect upon the
brain, the nervous system, the whole
man in fact, as the consciousness of
achieving that ON which his heart is
set. There is wonderful uplift in
feeling that things which we take hold
of will move. Achievement acts like
tonic on the whole system, ii quick
ems the circulation, stimulates the
digestion, and enlarges hope. People
who have been invalids for years,
whom no medicine or physician could
help, have frequently been entirely re-
stored to health, by suddenly hearing
some good news, or unexpectedly COM
ing into some good fortune.
This shows that the mind is master,
that the body and its functions are
good servants. and that the thoughts
are reflected in the physical man.

-he Cat and Rat.

The following incident 1 was eye
witness to. 1 came into one of the
work-rooms where plate of food for
the cat had been left on the floor.
Upon the plate of food was large rat,
seated upon its launches, eating squir-
rel-fashion. Lying with her nose al
most against the plate was the cat,
with eyes fastened upon the rat.
When 1 made a slight noise the rat
went away from the plate and walked
slowly to an opening under the door
and disappeared. The cat, with eyes
fastened upon the rat, paw under the
door, came back to me and mewed.
This seemed strange, as the cat is one
of the finest ratters / ever saw, and
has destroyed many a rodent since 1
saw the foregoing. Was the rat a
hypnotist? Or did he tell the cat
something ?-Good Housekeeping.

Girls Who Sing Over Hard Work.

Young girls in Japan are employed
to perform a task which cannot be
done in the same time and with the
same ease by any other body Of work
folk in the world. They are engaged
ut the different ports in loading the
large steamers with coal. The coal
barges are swung alongside the vessel,
from stem to stern of which are hung
n series of platforms, the broadcast
nearest the base and diminishing as
they rise. On each OF these platforms
girl stands. Men on the barges fill
baskets containing about two buckets
OF coal each, and pass them to the girl
standing on the lowest platform. She
passes them to the girl above her, and
continuous and unbroken line of
baskets pass into the vessel from 10
in the morning until 4 in the after
noon.
The girls will handle from sixty to
seventy baskets of coal per minute,
and over 1000 tons of coal day.
This really arduous toll they perform
as If it We're mere play, for they keep
up running fire of jokes, and their
laughter is continuous. They often
break into 4 song, the notes of which
are clear, melodious and stimulating.

Hootless Monkey-Faced Owls.

Three owls that appear to be part
monkeys have been found near Red
Bud, Ill. Two of the birds are now
in possession of Phil Offerding, ho-
tel keeper, and are viewed with great
curiosity. The owls are two months
old now, and so far have shown no
signs of feathering, and this adds to
the monkey likeness. They have
large, staring eyes like the owls, even
the beak being depressed, but the fore.
head runs back like that of the mon
key. The hoot which has made the
owl well known is absent. The vocal
powers of these monkey-faced beings
are somewhat impaired. They remain
silent unless disturbed, when they let
out hiss like that Of snake. They

trees abound, and to this is due the
fact that it was not discovered sooner.

cept in seasons when a great deal Of
rain has fallen its trunk is not reached
by water. A foot from the ground its
trunk is forty-four feet in circumfer-
ence. For twenty feet above the
ground the body of the great tree is
round and symmetrical, but at that
point it branches into four sections,
any one OF which would make giant
tree if standing alone. The four arms
of the big sycamore do not spread out
as would seem natural, but reach sky
