Fire.

About 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, 1ith
inst, fire was discovered in the rear
attic of the Hitchins Bros Company's
store. The alarm was sounded and the
firemen came quickly to the scene.
Together with the employees they en-
countered considerable difficult work in
finding and reaching the fire, which
crept along rafters and joists just under
the metal roof. Some skillful cutting
and expert handling of the hose We're
finally etfectual i'll eXtinguishing the
fire. To merchandise there was little
damage from fire, but unavoidably a
good deal from water. To building and
goods it will sum up to some figure be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000. That it was
not away beyond $4,000 is due to the
cool and intelligent cooperation of the
tiremen with the employees. Indeed, il
prominent member of the company,
after expressing high appreciation of the
latter's work, said "the loss is COM
paratively small owing 70 the fine dis
cipline and expert management of the
firemen, and we will be glad to have you
so state the fact in your paper

PROFITS ON PAPER.

An incubator in the kitchen fur
nishes a pleasant pastime for the
housekeeper, and few chickens in
the backyard may be made to bring
in little pin money. A good aver
age laying hen should lay from 100 to
$50 eggs year. while a good layer
may reach $50 to 200. And such eggs
that can be guaranteed as fresh should
command few cents more per dozen
in the market than where their fresh
ness is uncertain. Such hens may be
made to pay a profit to their owner of
from 81 to 81 so head each year, and
with flock of l 600 hens the profits
would be from 81 900 to 81 500, while
with a poultry farm of three to five
thousand hens the profits would be a
fine income. Sounds well on paper,
does it not?

COWS In THE ALPS.

The cows in the Alps are generally
very large and fine, of a dark mouse
color, growing white at the muzZle,
writes correspondent of the Chica-
go Journal Each one has name,
and a bell around her neck, and as
the herder must be with them all
day, they arc so accustomed to be
ing with humankind that they really
seem to have human intelligence
Several mornings, when staying i'll
the homes Of the mountaineers,
have got up at aybreak to see them
milk and care for their herds, and
as | saw how gently they handled
them, and the trustful way the cows
would lay their heads against the
keepers, as if trying in their dumb
way to express their affection, il
added to my regard for the sturdy
fellows, who looked as if they might
be as rough as bears.
One COW, who leads the herd, has
much larger bell than the others,
and as she starts off the rest follow
along the narrow path up the noun
tain size the different bells tinkling
like chimes in the early morning
air and forming a very romantic

HOUSEKEEPING BY AIR.

The first stationary compressed air
cleaning apparatus to be placed in a
hotel in the United States, if not in
the world, was put in operation in
Milwaukee recently. The compressor
is located in the basement, and from
it pipes lead to every floor of the
building, with places thereon for at
taching the hose, and hereafter the
carpets and furniture and draperies of
the hotel will be kept clean and sweet
by means of this new device. 1t is
an automatic piece of mechanism,
and when in use the air pressure is
kept at eighty pounds to the square
inch. 1t is operated by electricity,
and when the limit of pressure is
reached the electrical current is cut
off, but as soon as started up the con-
nection is renewed and the pressure
maintained. BY this means the air
current is sent through the carpets,
furniture and bedding cleaning out
all dirt and rendering them sweet and
clean.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

are redeemed when turned in and
made into nickel pieces, which, by the
way, are more copper than nickel, as
they are made of an alloy of rs per
