ThirtY-Six Fires in November.

& The reports to the fire marshal from
over the state show thirty six fires for
the month OF November, none OF them
of any great Importance. While dur
ing the summer months, the greatest
number of fires from any known cause
indicated gasoline as the origin, with
the coming of winter, defective CHM
neys, stsoves and stove pipes lead the
list with fourteen out of thirty six.
Careless dumping Of hot ashes are cred.
tied with two more Ores, which might
be classed in the same list. Twelve are
given of unknown origin, aud only three
are charged to gasoline, while kerosene
is given credit for two others. Chill,
dren with matches are charged with
one fire in the month, and two are fires
started from other buildings.

home in Luverne and will probably be

No direct evidence has been so far
shown by The state for connectin G
Bowen with the crime, but the circum-

hold him for trial which will likely be

ALASKAN BOILED DINNERS.
RENDERS FOR MEAT
Yukon Cabbages and Tur- nips Weigh Fifteen
 Pounds Apiece.

If this sort of thing keeps on we shall have to revise our ideas of Alas ka. A writer in the Alaska Yukon Magazine is now cracking up the farm ing possibilities of the territory.
 He declares that the farming which has begun in the Panama Valley has shown that the harder vegetables can be grown there. He declares also that there is strong evidence that ordinary cereals will mature in that region.
 In the gardens at Fairbanks lettuce, radishes, beets, turnips and other vegetables reach a degree of perfec- ton attained in few other localities. " The celery grown in Fairbanks is splendid" and "a better crop of tur- nips could not be found in the world.' Potatoes are grown in every town and camp on the Yukon.
 One day in Fairbanks last summer, , says this enthusiast, q saw a small steamer, the Dusty Diamond, arrive at the wharf from the Tanana Hot Springs. She was loaded with vegeta- bles shipped to the Fairbanks market from the vicinity of the Hot Springs where there are gardens that yield prolifically. One crate of these vege- tables contained ten cabbages that weighed 15O pounds. I have learned that the farm where these vegetables grew sold recently for $SO,O0O ] Tt was a surprise to find that the gardens of the Panama Valley supplied the markets of Fairbanks and the sur rounding mining camps with most oi the vegetables used. Some kinds ot vegetables, notably turnips, are supe. rior in quality to the same variety from the Puget Sound region
 Last September I saw a field ot barley nearly Fairbanks. The barley had been cut and bound into sheaves but 1t had not thoroughly ripened. Int grain had filled and was plump hu it was soft and would inevitabl! shrink.
 "The evidence, however, was prett! conclusive that barley may be raised here and matured There is no ques ton of growing almost any kind 0 grain and cutting 1t for hay; for tha matter there are thousands upon thou sands of acres of wild grasses in tn Tanana Valley which would make yer. good hay. This idea leads to though of the business of stock raising which I believe, can be made an industry o the Tanana Valley
 The writer does not propose to rais cattle, however. He believes that tn reindeer will furnish solution of tn live stock question in Alaska. He de scribes the reindeer as "a food anima par excellence"
 The country contains thousands Q acres of reindeer moss. During tn summer season the reindeer forage ol the quick growing grasses and be come sleek and tender. In the winte they dig down through the snow t the moss, and that keeps them goinl through the winter. The conclusion | that herds of domestic reindeer will b the strong card of the meat trust il | Alaska.

ADULTERATED WINE.
Tricks of Trade Not Peculiar to the , Present Generation.

Tricks of Trade Not Peculiar to the
 Present Generation.
 The Greeks and Romans had their troubles no less than we of to-day. Piny tells us that the bakers of Rome used to mix with their dough a white earth that was soft to the touch and sweet to the taste, and so made bread that had weight and good appearance, but no food value.
 He also speaks of wine adulteration, and says that even the rich could not be sure that their beverages were pure. The famous wines of Palermo were adulterated in the cellars, and wines from Gaul were artificially col ored by aIoes and other drugs. In Athens wine adulteration was so com mon that special inspectors were ap- pointed to detect and stop the prac- l tice.
 l One Canthare, wine merchant, made his mark on the page of history because of his skill in giving the fla vors of old age and maturity to new wines, and in his time the phrase ar tificial as Canthare" was the common expression for clever deceit. Through out Europe, from the eleventh century onward, food adulteration was very generally practiced by bakers, brewers spicenlongers and wintners.
 So we see, says The Spatula, that the wine dealer who mixes alcohol, water, l color, sugars and favor1ng essences to- gether and calls it genuine California 1 wine is doing no new thing; that the modern baker who makes short weight loaves out of damaged grain is but walking in the footsteps his craft made on the streets of Rome 2,00O years ago; that the druggist who sells impure chemicals, the spice dealer who mixes sawdust with his spices, the miller who grinds cornmeal with his flour, the brewer who makes bad beer, and the butcher who sells unwholesome meal are not modern pests at all. Every one of them is but putting into pres ent day practices the tricks that have bothered trade and cheated the consu. mer for 1000 years or more.

Park Chaperons.

Indianapolis is planning to place chaperons in her public parks for the protection of young girls and women without escorts. Parents and juvenile court officers there consider 1t unsafe in the present state of things for girls to use the parks Many fathers and mothers have manifested an interest in the movement. They believe in the parks as places for recreation, but fear to allow their daughters to use them. It would seem to be a question as to whether such protection should be supplied by chaperons or police, but the people of Indianapolis mani festly have no confidence in the ef- I,fciency of police protection.-Boston Transcript.

FIRST SULPHUR MATCHES.
They Were Considered Daring and
 Dangerous Innovation.

Dangerous Innovation
 In these days of rapid progress it does not take long to make an appli- ance old fashioned and out of date Not more than seventy years ago the match was considered an innovation of daring and dangerous type. The conservative still scraped away with his steel and flint, holding the sulphur dipped stick in fear and trembling. One Robert Gibbs tells the story of the first match he ever saw. A school fellow who had visited London brought back with him, besides his stories of that wonderful town, box of newly invented matches. He exhibited them to his wondering mates and. as a great favor, presented one to Gibbs The boy
 took his prize home, struck it in the lchimneypiece and gleefully watched the surprise of his mother.
 Now you may throw away the tim der box, he said.
 No such thing" responded the prudent woman. Matches which light 1 themselves will find no place here. Why, some night we might be burned | in our beds! Give me the finder box.n A Salem, Mass, newspaper of June, 1Sa6, speaks anprovingly of one of the Inhabitants of its town.
 Notwithstanding the convenience of those dangerous little articles which are in almost everybodys hands, but which, with all their charms, bid fair to prove heavy curse on the com munity, we learn there is one man in Salem, a respectable tradesman who keeps a store where we should gener- | ally expect to find such things, but who has never sold them or allowed them to be used on his premises. He sticks in the flint, steel and finder; he shows his wisdom in so doing. How many more can say as much?' From
 the Youths Companion.
