Our L.ossej By Fire.

Ii one could imagine all the build
.ngs destroyed by fire in the United
States in year arranged along one
highway, each building occupying a
lot siyty-tive feet wide. the highway
would extend from New York to Chi
cago, and the buildings would line it
on each side. Such is the calculation
Of the department Of the interior. Fur
thermorc, a person travelling this scene
of desolation would pass in every thou
sand feet ruin from which an injured
person has been taken. At every three
quarters Of mile he would encounter
the remains Of human being who
had been burned to death.
For years, it is estimated, the amount
Of actual property annually consumed
by fire IN this country reaches $780,
100000, and another sum Of about like
proportions is. spent for the mainte-
nance of fire departments, waterworks,
insurance premiums. etc. to prevent
stil greater losses.--Cleveland Plain

Care of Silk Stockings.

or course you know that nothing,
however durable, will wear either well
or long il not cared for properly.
Silk stockings are no exception TO this
rule. They demand proper care. First
and foremost. washing every time the
stocking is worn Is almost imperative.
Precipitation tends to rot the fiber, con-
scquently the little holes that pop
out so Unexpectedly. Make a lather
from mild white soap. swish the
stockings about in it, rinse and iron
when quite damp. II the stocking is
only mercerized and you desire the
silky sheen, then rinse in water that
Is bit soapy and press damp And a
word about mending: Silk on cotton
and cotton on silk is easy to remember
and a deal more satisfactory in the
long run.

 The rule of the masses has come to Europe and come to stay regardless of what Agreements are made be- tween the rulers of the contending hosts.
 Russia has already cast aside the shaekles of hereditary rule and emerged in the fuliness of new found being to rule itself as the peo- pie wish to be ruled.
 And all this marvellous happening is direct result of the war and would probably mot have happened for long period had there been no war,
 And what has happened ia Russia as a result of the war will happen again and again before the war is really over and the final Issues de- termined.
 The real war, the war for the com- plete liberation of mankind from the thralldom of kings and potentates will not really commence until the day that peace has been signed.
 The war will continue in the minds of people until they have won not only complete political rule but also that vastly greater thing, economic rule, the benefits of which are not alone for living generations but for the races yet unborn and the ages to como.
