BAD FIRE AT BURLINGTON
Blaze Started in Livery Stable Did
$4,000 Damage.

Burlington, July 13.-Fire in the
heart OF Burlington's business dis
trict at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
called out all the apparatus in the
city and for an hour whole block
bounded by Smiths Lane, Church
street, College street and Winoosh
avenue, was threatened with destruc-
ton
Al six o'clock the twostory livery
stable owned by II. G. Smith was
lying fiat and surrounding buildings
had been badly scorched and much
damage done by water.
All the horses in the barn were
saved but the rest OF the contents
with the exception Of few carriages
went up in smoke.
The Daily News plant backs onto
the stable from the south and the
printing and bookbinding establish
ment OF the Free Press is directly
opposite the stable on the north.
The flames jumped across the alley
and licked the southern fire wall OF
the Free Press, but strong fire shut
tiers saved the building from damage
The News establishment was not
SO fortunate. The paper stock was
soaked with water and the composing
rooms and press rooms were flooded
The Smith stable was frame
building covered with sheet tin and
the flames licked II up like so much
oil.
The roof OF the Strong theatre
building was showered with brands
by a strong northeast wind.
The rear OF the buildings occupied
by C. H. Bessy. the Star restaurant
Jones and lshams feed store, Bell
rose, the druggist. Metropolitan Life
Insurance company. the Brownell and
Hawley block and the Hayward block
were all smoking while the fire was
at its height and streams of water
were played over them from all direC
lions.
Water damage was all that was
sustained in these buildings.
II is impossible to correctly esti
mate the loss tonight but Il Is place.
In round numbers at $4,000

To Save Linen.

In some of the best schools the
pupils are now taught to roll table
cloths instead Of folding them, since
the folds in linen are usually the first
places that show wear, says a con-
tributor to the Delineator. The table
cloths are ironed fiat and rolled while
being ironed. 1t is best to use Ia
BILE for the ironing board, as this
gives more space. Start to roll the
tablecloth as soon as a quarter OF
yard is ironed and keep the roll d1-
rectly In front, turning 1t as fast az
the ironing is done. Sometimes thick
brown paper is used to roll the cloth
on. but it must be the width OF the
linen. A clever woman has procured
several mailing tubes, placed them
end to end and covered them with
fancy wall paper, pasting 1t on Sc
curely. This makes firm founda-
ton for the roll. Napkins should be
folded once with the iron and all
other folding done by hand SO they
will not wear in the creases.

TO SET YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Just as Well to Dig New Holes In
Space Between Old Ones After
Latter Have Been Cut.

1t would do no harm to set younA
fruit trees in the holes where the old
ones are taken cut, but, other things
being equal, it would be just as well
to dig new holes in the spaces be-,
tween the old trees after they have
BEEN cut down or pulled up. Answer.
ing question along this line, the
Rural New Yorker advises digging a
wide hole two feet or more a diameter
and eight to twelve inches deep, az
may be needed, placing the rich or
top soil in one pile and the subsoil
in another.
Cut out all broken or injured roots
from the trees to be set, and freshen
the ends of the sound roots with a
slanting cut from below upward. so
that the fresh surface will rest on the
soil When the roots are in their
natural position, set the trees in the
center of the hole and carefully fill
In around the roots with the best of
the top soil taken out, sitting it from
the edge of the shovel and working 1t
between the rows with the fingers.

DIVIDE THE HOURS OF REST
Better to Take Sleep in instruments
Rather Than in One Long
Session.

II YOU wish to be perfectly fit and
healthy don't take your sleep in "one
long dose"
Instead of, say, always going to bed
at II p. M and rising at Z a. M, d.
vide your sleeping hours into two
portions, as, for instance, from p m.
to $3.50 p. m. first sleep and from
a. m. to $50 a. m. in the second
sleep.
This method of sleeping in
watches" gives the brain-tor all
those who do mental work-just slim
illus needed, and promotes fresh en-
ergy and vigor to both mind and body.
A doctor who is serious advocate
of sleeping in watches gave the above
interesting theory
every man and woman whose work
requires large expenditure of mental
energy should divide his or her sleep
ing hours into two" he said
81 am acquainted with many people
who now always take their sleep in
two doses and they will tell you
what a vast improvement it is on the
usual rule of one long sleep in the "a
hours.
THE ideal times of sleep for the
brain worker are the afternoon and
the early hours of the morning. OF
course this program could only be car
ried out by the woman whose time Is
her own"

Usually the pointer is the least mus
cular of the lot Sometimes he is a
miIk-cheeked youth with limpid eye
but a sure one. When the huge
breech picks itself up on it's hind legs
and settles back in a quiet reco1l, the
men r. ell off the lightning mechanism
Of their drill with confident litheness
that is almost uncanny. They will
even kill a cockroach or two on the
white armor between salvos.
The shock of Just one of these great
pro1ectiles, weighing 1,400 pounds, is
equal to that of a heavy locomotive
and five Pullmans crashing into some
thing at the rate of 70 miles an hour.
The muzzle energy of one Of the big
guns that the new Dreadnoughts carry
is $500 foot tons. To explain in plain
language what this means, suppose
that 16,000-ton battleship be put on
top Of a 32,000-ton Lusitania, and one
of the biggest of the Sound steamers
placed on top of that. The total
weight of the three would be nearly
10000 tons. Next try to conceive the
power that would be necessary to raise
that huge load. The muzzle energy OF
one of these guns is equal to this task
The energy exerted at the moment OF
discharge is so tremendous that it
would be able to lift all three vessels
one foot

FISH DEALER MIXED ORDERS
Senator Frye Made Good Showing In
Weight but the Herring Was
Smoked.

Far more unerringly than by any
weather bureau prediction, the ap-
proach of spring is indicated by the
CLEAN of the piscatorial fervor that
irradiates the eyes of Senator Frye OF
Maine just before the opening of the
fishing season. During the winter
while the streams are ice bound and
the spruce trees are white with snow,
the senator loves now and then to re-
late fish story.
He tells of memorable trip on
which Senator Spooner Joined him at
his choicest trout stream. They had
it all arranged, after having called into
counsel a reliable fish dealer and a
| trustworthy expreSsman, that a box OF
trout should arrive every other day
at Senator Frye's home to indicate the
success with which they were casting
| the fly.
The plan worked beautifully-"ot
course we caught some and some we
didn't"-but the expressman was fair
ly regular in the weight OF fish for
warded. and the prepaid charges were
about the same from day to day. All
went well until one day a dispatch
came from the Frye domicile.
Rush two more boxes smoked her
ring They are great. Are the salt
mackerel running also?'
There was a busy time with the
wires Just then, for the fish dealer had
got his orders mixed, and instead OF
shipping fresh trout to Frye's home, he
had sent herring smoked.
But the senator was equal to It, Camp
supplies had been mixed with the fish
caught that day-of course. He
FASTENED his reply:
You received the bait by mistake.
Nothing but smoked herring will ever
catch fresh trout, you know
Senator Spooner usually concludes
the tale truthfully by giving the re-
turn message:
Received the bait, and taken it sic
hook and all."-National Magazine.

An odd and pretty vase may be
made by taking a pickle jar or any
other odd-shaped bottle, and covering
it all over with putty, then you may
use all your discarded buttons out of
your button box. Buttons Of the
presidents or other candidates, brok-
en- jewelry, even broken china pieces,
all these may be used and stuck
down in the putty as close as you can.
When dry set it on your mantel. You
will be pleased with it. By taking a
