TO SAVE LIVES AT FIRES.

Boston to Drill Red Cross Corps
Among Its Fire Fighters.
The terrible fire disaster in Chicago
Is leading in Boston to the formation of
a Red Cross corps of able-bodied young
fire fighters, who will be equipped for
and charged with the duty of saving hui
man life at fires. One of the features Of
the new plan will be found in the in
struction course which is a preliminary
to actual work in the new sphere Two
or more strong, active young men will
be selected from each fire company, and
will be relieved from duty for an hour or
more, two or three days a week, in order
that they may attend the lectures OF the
Red Gross school"
Each delegate who thus receives in
strnctioG at first hand is expected to inn
part this information, in so far as may
be practicable, to the fellow members
of his company, in order that all the fire
fighters of the city may thus become con
versant in general way with the theory
and practice of the new scheme. Some
of the lectures in the Red Cross course
will be given by eminent surgeons and
medical specialists. Instructions will be
given as to the best means of removing
injured or unconscious persons from any
part OF a burning building or from the
roof, and the use OF the life-nets and 9TH
er means of Iife-saving will be practiced.

recently demonstrated before forty of
his deaf and dumb fellow citizens that
an alarm clock which he had recently

thing short of lifting them bodily out
of bed. We forgot that sound is the
only channel of consciousness. By

Economr in Han1inr.

When hauling load it is better to
have the horses draw as rauch as they
can, making the load the maximum
in weight, as the horses have Travelled
the distance whether the load is small
or large, and it is the time lost IL trav-
cling that makes hauling expensive.
If the ROADS are good heavy loads can
be carried. If not, then two trips must
be made and smaller loads carried.
Let any farmer estimate how mach he
loses as the difference in la9ge and
small loads, and loss of time in the
mud, and he will make less objection
to road tax in the future.

QUEEN vlcroRlA,s TOYS.
Playthings of EngIand's Famous
Queen to Be Shown at ST. Louis.

PiaythIngs of Engand's Famous
Queen to Be Shown at ST. Louis.
The playthings of the late Queen
Victoria, while in spIendor and in
trinsic value they will not compare
with the almost priceless Jubilee
presents that will be shown at the
Worlds Fair, will appeal to the senti
ment of all who view them.
The British pavilion at the Worlds
Fair is a replica CT the Orangery at
Kensington Palace, the birthplace OF
Queen Victoria When she was a child
she passed many hours in the quaint
old building that was designed more
than two hundred years ago for Queen
Anne, another of Britafn's famed
rulers. 1t was here that Victoria
played with dolls and other toys that
delight children of all classes.
When Mr.. C. B. Wood the superin-
tendent of construction for the British
building, was making his plans he
visited the Orangery and faithfully
copied all of the peculiarities. 1t was
on these visits that he saw the toys
with which the child who was destined
to become Britain's best loved ruler
beguiled her time. Some of the dolls
bore the marks of TIE love that the
little princess had for her then ia
vorite subjects. The paint is rubbed
from the face of one. The arm of
another is gone and the leg of still
anotSvr is missing. All of these toys
are carefully preserved, and they re-
main just as they were when Vic
toria as the child cast them aside.
Mr.. Wood, after completing the
Worlds Fair replica of the Orangery,
returned to London, and he said he
was going to make an effort to have
the playthings sent to the Worlds
Fair in their entirety, and they will
appear in the new Orangery just as
they are in the original.
