The blaze appears to have origin

Kitchen, which was all ablaze with
The roof fallinr, when Mrs. Kirk IN
the adjoining house discovered the
flames at about 10 AS O'Clock and
aroused the Wilmoths from slunber.
BY the time they realized the house
was afire, the flames had->spread so
that they had to leap for their lives,
The Baltimore & Ohio engines

ffIly three or four hundred persons
hurried to the scene and bucket bri-.

were in vain. The flames soon

reatened the other four houses on
that street. Seeing it could not be
saved, it was decided to dynamite II

This was successfully accomplished

Though so quickly deprived o
everything they had except a mum

robbed of these after the fire.
The blaze was the worst that has
occurred in that town for fifteen
wears and perhaps, the worst the
town ever had. Only for south

whole town might have been wiped

to follow the investigation, no matter
where it strikes.
"Some men in official positions who
have been convicted complain that
their salaries are too low and try to ex-
cuse themselves on that ground. If
official salaries are too low they ought
to be increased. It is more honorable
to increase official salaries htan to try

A Mistake Somewhere.

The young man who professed that
he could read character from hand
writing looked attentively at the scrap
of letter which had been given him
by friend and shook his head.
1.-THE woman who wrote that" he
said, in his most judicial tone, lis I'M
doubtedly possessed of personal attrac-
tons and unfortunately too we'll aware
of them; but her character, sir, is weak
as water. She lacks determination,
consistency, ambition of high order
and originality. Am l not correct in
my synopsis so far as you known"
MN, we'll, you may be-" said the
other, "for I've never seen the writer.
She's the widow Of my Cousin Jim,
out in Iowa. When l knew Jim he
was an agreeable scapegrace who
never stayed in one position or place
for more than six months, and was al.
ways in debt. He married her twelve
years age, settled in a small city, built
up fine business, became mayor last
year, just before he died, and has left
a life insurance Of $4,000 and an ex-
cellent income besides to his widow
and four children.
"Some way" he added, thoughtfully,
as the reader of handwriting sat look
ing at the scrap Of paper with dazed
expression, 81 had imagined she might
have considerable character, but dare
say you're right"

The Sunday report would have been
the lowest one on record except for
the report of nest of infection in an
other convent and asylum, totaling six
cases, among the girls in the Mount
Carmel institute asylum in Piety
street. There have been several
cases in the Mount Carmel convent in
st. ClOude street, and as these two
institutions are closely allied it is
very likely that the infection was
transmitted from one to the other. An
other case is reported at the French
asylum in Canal street.
Among the deaths was Sister Mary
Edith of the convent of Perpetual
Alteration
The total number of cases under

Dyspepsia.-A dessert spoonful or
more Of glycerine diluted with five
parts of water and taken at the be-
ginning Of the meal prevents the usual
distress, belching, ETC., which follows
the eating of certain vegetables and
fruits. It is not a cure but simply a
relief
Eruptions on the Face.-The patient
should live temporarily, avoiding all
stimulants and keep the bowels open.
A solution Of carbonate or bicarbonate
Of soda, one scruple to pint Of water,
makes very good wash. When the
eruptions break and become sores use
an ointment composed Of lanoline one
ounce and oliate Of mercury one grain,
rubbed on two or three times daily.
Black heads should be steamed and
squeezed out and the spots rubbed with
the ointment a few times.
Homemade Liniment.-The primarv
purposes of liniment are to serve as
disinfectant and to allay Inflammation.
Nature must do the rest toward curing
cuts, bruises or wounds Of any kind.
Swellings, aches and pains result from
Inflammation and require the use If
liniment. A very good one for both man
and beast is composed of alcohol. one
pint; spirits Of hartshorn, ~ ounces;
turpentine, one gill: sweet oil, one-half
pint; line arnica, five ounces; chloro-
form, two ounces. This will make about
21a pints the equivalent of which in
quantity and quality of patent linl-
ment would cost from 81 to IS.
The Rain Cure.-This Is the latest
fad. All that is required of the pa
tent is to stand in the open with the
body bare Of all clothing in the falling
rain. The sensation is said to be very
agreeable. Those who have tried 1t as
sert that the rain falling upon the bare
body invigorates the whole system and
is especially Strengthening to the
nerves. There is no set rule for taxing
the treatment. 1t Is declared that the
rain cure Is a sure remedy for rheu-
matism and that decided improvement
has been noted in cases Of persons at
ficted with tuberculosis. For nervous
disorders the treatment is said to be
infallible, although we do not take
much stock in It.

HOW TO SELL GOODS
Instance In Which Salesman Made q
$4,000 Sale by Being Alert.

&10.UOO sale by Being Alert.
In the Worlds Work Is story Of
good craftsmanship. The writer says:
At all times the travelling salesman
should be quick to see the unexpected
opportunity-and it might be added
that often such an opportunity is
brought to light by the impression
made upon the customer by genuine
Header" Once a bright young
salesman went into the office of a
Memphis merchant to sell him a bill
Of carbons for his arc lights. He was
conscious Of having a distinct advan-
tage in carbon that he could sell at
$11, for which his competitors were
obliged to get $l6.5O. You can't sell
that carbon for $11. can you?" in.
quired the merchant. Yes, sir; there
is no mistake about It," quietly an
swered the young man. IF you feel
any question about it just let me send
you what you need, and If they are not
all right = every particular you have
only to notify me and | will come here
personally and ship them back to the
house."
/ well, on that understanding" re-
piled the merchant, you may ship me
5000
This time it was the salesman's turn
to be astonished. for this was a sensa-
tional quantity for a merchant to buy
for his own use.
May l ask" inquired the young
man, "how you are going to use so
many?"
Certainly" answered the mer-
chant, drawing a set of contracts from
a pigeon hole Of his desk; here are
the contracts for a $4,000 lighting
plant that am going to put In across
the street"
"Signed them?" inquired the young
man.
No, but I'm going to tonight" an
swered the merchant, "for I've thrash
ed the details Of this thing over until
I'm sick and tired of them"
"Now," responded the salesman,
"1've demonstrated to you that l can
beat those people all to pieces on the
price Of carbons, and 1 give you my
word that can do the same thing on
the plant that you propose to put in.
Put off the signing Of that contract
until tomorrow night, get on the train
with me and 60 to our plant in Chi
cago and l will show you that can
save you money on equipment"
The merchant finally agreed, with
the result that the salesman who saw
this opportunity sold the merchant a
