It Takes Ten Niinuter.

The girl who has followed the fashion
of a white wardrobe is bemoaning Tae
condition of her white felt hat, her chia-
chilla furs and her light gowns. But it
really is not SO difficult matter to keep
these various articles of her wardrobe
presentable if she will give ten minutes a
day to the task Clean chnchilla with a
piece of magnesia, rubbing it in well, and
then shaking out thoroughly Light felt
hats can be cleaned perfectly by rubbing
in Fuller's earth with a dry nail brush.
A bit of soft linen and n saucerful OF
gasoline will clean silk waists and gowns

Mrs. Roosevelt's Maiden Name.

There is general error in spelling
Mrs Roosevelt's maiden name. Before
her marriage she was a Miss Carow. not
Carew. The name is an old French
IIugucnot one. originally spelled Quereau,
but was changed to Car0w by Mrs
Roosevelt's grandfather. Isaac Carow,
who experienced much trouble with men
in business who never seemed able to
spell Quereau properly. Some months ago
a New York paper said that the name
Quentin (of one Of the boys) was a fam
lily name Of the R0osevelts. The name
belongs on the Carow side and was also

Fire-Extin gushing Apparatus That
Needs No Human Manipula ton.

There are at the present time in
nearly all states laws which enforce
the placing of fire extinguishing ap-
patratus on each floor of factory or
other buildings where people find en-
ployment or amusement, but nearly
all the means provided to stifle the
flames necessitate the actual manipu-
lation of the extinguisher by personal
contact. AS this requires presence of
mind and bravery at an instant when
people are more apt to fee, with little
opportunity to return later to extin.

should be field for the automatic ap-
paratus recently invented by Louis
Werlun Of Elsmere, Del, which can
be arranged to operate by thermo-
static means, or set in motion by the
closing of an electric switch at any
point inside or outside of the building
AS will be seen, the usual acid-alkali
combination of liquids is utilized in
making up the extinguisher, the acid
being contained in the small cup at
the base of the. neck of the extin-
guisher. Upon the closing of the
electric circuit a gate is withdrawn
from beneath a body of shot suspend
ed in the neck and these instantly
fall to the top of the cup, rupturing
the air tight tinfoil cover, displacing
the acid from the cup and mixing it

BEAUMONT FIRE CONTROLLED.
Fire in the on Field Gradually Burn
ing Out.

Beaumont, Tex. Sept 15.-The fire
in the oil field is gradually burning
itself out. On the second morning only
four wells and two tanks were burn
ing. One of the wells is a gusher, and
there is trouble in extinguishing it.
The smaller well can be handled cas-
lily, as the fire is fed principally by gas.
The oil was drawn from the tanks as
rapidly as possible Even if the wind
should change the danger of further
loss is small, as all of the exposed oil
has been burned.
A large force of worlxmen is on the
ground and spread of the fire can be
checked in its incipiency. The loss
caused by the fire is variously estima-
ted. The lowest figures by those COM
petent to judge place the total loss at
about SIS, 900. From this it ranges up
to $3.50, 900. So far as can be ascer-
tained, about thirty derriclls were
destroyed. Fifteen tanks, some of
them filed with oil, were burned out,
and they will have to be repaired be-
fore they are again serviceable. Sew
eral pumping plants were put out OF
service and are rendered useless, and
in this the heaviest loss lies, outside OF
the oil DESTROYED.

Spindle TOP WELLS ON FIRE.
Thousands Of Barrels Of Burning
Oil Explode Tanks.
ARE 4lO PRODUCING WELLS.

Beaumont, Tex, Sept 13.-The oil
field is on fire, and judging by the
great volume of smoke which is flowing
in from Spindle Top, there is grave
fear that great loss will be sustained,
if the field is not entirely destroyed.
The fire started early in the evening
in some waste oil along the Texas and
Sabine traclt, and burned about sixty
feet of trestle. This was cotton under
control, and it was believed that all
danger had passed, but in the mean
while the fire had been communicated
to the field, and a number of huge
settling tanks, containing thousands
of barrels of petroleum had already
exploded, and others are reported as
being in the direct line of the fire.
which has spread over a wide area.
The ground is saturated with oil and
there is no chance of stopping the
progress of the the flames. The fire is
spreading rapidly and it is believed
that the whole field will soon be
ignited.
A telephone message from Gladys
which is the station at the out-field
says the whole of the Keith-Ward
tract. embracing several acres and
containing a large number of wells
have been burned over, and it is be
lieved that some of the wells have
caught. though this is not as yet posi-
lively determined.
The big tanks belonging to the Hig
gins company were burned. Runners
were sent out in every direction fol-
the men who own them or represent
the companies.
The streets are filed with people
and thousands of them are now on tho
way to the field in every sort of vehicle
and afoot.
There are 40 producing wells in the
field, some of which are buried under
earth as a safeguard against fire.

B. Maurel gives an interesting ac-
count of the electrical wards at the
general hospital of Tours which have
been established during the last six
years. A special floor is set apart for
the service; it is divided into four
wards and a waiting room. One OF
the wards contains the induction coils
and influence machines, comprising
Wimshurst, Bonetti and Care ma
chimes, as well as "Postes fara-
diques." The second ward is fitted up
with X-ray apparatus and high-fre-
quency machines, and also contains an
Oudin resonator. The third ward is
used for gynaecology and the fourth
for galvano cautery. In the five years
ending July 81, 1907, III cases were
treated in the electrical wards, 207 of
which were sent for electro diagnosis.
