In 1666 the great fire in London
burned over 430 acres, destroying at
least $35,000, 000 worth of property. In
1873 the Boston fire burned over 60
acres, at a loss of $1,000,000 an acre.
If the same fire occurred today, it
would cost, at the very lowest estimate,
$100.000,000. I,; 1893 the loss on the

“I suppose that Whit-tern is a great
hero in your community,” said a De
troiter to a friend from one of the in
terior towns.
“Ob, I don’t know!”
“Don’t know? Why, man, his bravery
was remarkable! I read all about it in
the paper?.. When his store was on fire,
be rushed to tho scene, disregarded tha
warnings shouted to him, pushed his
Way through the blinding smoke and
seething flames and dropping firebrands
to his office, dropped on his knees in
I the live coals before the safe, worked
; the hot knob until the combination
1 caused the glowing doors to open, seized
a valuable paper, rammed it beneath
his vest to protect, it from the raging
element and staggered forth again from
the consuming caldron. It was one of
the most thrilling acts of bravery I ever
heard of.”
“Do you happen to know what that
paper was for which Whittem risked
his lifo?”
“No, but it must have been a very
important document. No man would ]
incur such danger without bis very for- |
tune v.as at stake.”
“You’d think so, wouldn’t yon?
Well, sir, that paper was the pedigree
of Whittem's trottiu boss that never
beat 2:28 and never will.”—De*~ ’

Hope of n Disturbance,
He had been tossed about uncomfort
ably for 30 years He had a gentle, con
templative, book reading disposition,
was fond of pretty things, good man
ners and repose. But he bad bad to
work hard at things which ruffled his
epirit. “Intolerable” was tbe word most
frequently on his lips. But now be has
an easy, salaried position, congenial
work, and for the time is comfortable.
The other evening he sat in bis cheer
ful apartment, with a warm dressing
gown about him, and talked to a friend
about how the troubles of life had fallen
away from him, how at last he had ar
rived in the haven. Ilis friend told him
that he was just iu the condition to ex
perience anew disturbance, deeper than
all the others; that this rest was only a
lull iu the storm.
“What do yon mean?” be asked.
The reply was a counter question. !
“Are yon as much resolved as ever
to live alone?” this friend asked.
There was a pause. Then the contem- 1
plative man r aid slowly, “As an ab
stract proposition marriage doesn’t seem
as disagreeable to me as it did.”
His friend smiled. “Yon will find
that you will be deeply disturbed again
before very long,” lie said. —New York

“What a whip likes,” says Mr. La
bouchere in London Truth, “is a sheep
that never opens its mouth and which
submissively goes into the pen to which
the whip’s finger points. Years ago I ,
remember once voting on some very
trifling issue against Liberal official

whip he glared at me as though I were
a monster of iniquity and asked ma
whether I conld give any explanation
of my conduct.
“I modestly replied that I had thought
that the other side was right. He al
most had a fit and gobbled at me like
an irate turkey. I asked bim whether I
was to vote against my own convic

THE MODEL LOVE LETTER.
My Df.arkst :
Every time I think *f you my heart
heart flops up and down like a churn
dasher, sensations of exquisite joy
caper over it like young goats on a
stable roof, and thrill through it like
Spanish needles through a pair of linen
trousers
Asa goslin swims in a mud puddle
so swias I in a soa of glory, visions of
ecstatic rapture thicker than the hairs
of a blacking brush and 1 r’ghter Ithan
the hues of a huintmag bird’s pinions,
visit me in tny slumbers.
Whenl first beheld your angelic
perfections, 1 was hewtidered and my
twain whirled around like a bumblebee
under a glass tumbler, [my eyes stood
opt n like a cellar door in a country
town and I lifted up tny ears to catch
the silver accents of your voice.
My tongue refused to wag and in
silent adoration I drank in the sweet
infection of !cve as a thirsty man swal
loweth a glass of hot whiskey punch.
Day and night you are in ray thoughts
when the jay bird pipes his tuneful lay
in the apple tree by the spring house
when the chanticleer stu ii e'.siion her
alds the coming morn, wtu-c the
awaking pig arseth from Ins bed and
gruntetb anti goeth for his morning’s
refreshments, and lowing herds come
home at milking time
I think ot thee and like a piece of
elastic, my heart is stretched clear
across my bosom. Your hair is like
the mane of a sotrell borse, powdered
with gold and the brass pins skewered
through your waterfall fill me with
unbounded awe Your forehead is
swoother than the elbows of an old
coat, your eyes are glorious to behold
In their depths I see legions of little
ctiptds bathing like a cohort of ants in
ar old army cracker. When their
tire hit me upon my manly breast it
penetrated my whole anatomy as a
load of bird shot tlnongh a rotten ap
ple. Your nose is from a chunk of
partan marble and your mouth is
puckered with sweetness, m-ctar lm
on vour rose bud lips ltko honey on a
bear’s paw Your laugh tings in my
ears like the wind harps strain, or the
bleat of a stray lamb on a bleak hilt
side, the dimples on your cheeks are
tike the ho!!ws in home made sugar.
I am dying to fly to thy presence and
and'pour nut the burning eloquence
of mv lovo as a thrifty housekeeper
pours out hot coffee. Awav from
you I mss melancholy at a sick sick
rat,. Sometimes I can hear the June
bugs of despondency buzzing in my
■•ars i i.d feel the cold lizard ot d< pair
trawling down tay hack and fears like
a thousand minnows nibbling at niy
spirit, and inv soul is Dicrced witn
doubts as an old cheese is bored with
skippers. You are fairer than a
speckled pullet, sweeter than a Yankee
doughnut fried in a sorghum house,
brighter than a topknot plumage on a
musoovey duck. You ate candy kises,
raisins, pound cakes and sweetened
toddy altogether. If these remarks
will enable you to see the inside of my
soul and me to win your affection, I
shall be as happy as a sapsucker on
an apple tree. If you cannot recipro
cate tny thrilling passion 1 will pine
away like a poisoned f ed bug and tail
away from the flourishing vine of ilft
an untimely branch, and in the com
ing years when the shadows grow

Plan The Garden.
From Farmers Voice.
With the garden, as with the field
crops, a good rotation is best if the
best growth and yicl i is to be receiv
ed. Lor this reason, jas well as tor
convenience in working, it is lest to
plan out the planting of the garden
before the aeason for planting opens.
In order to economize space to the
best advantage and at the same time
lessen the labor of cultivation as much
as possible it is best to plani every
thing in long rows.
Then by a little planning iu plant
ing the different varieties and kinds
it will he possible to grow more and
to keep the ground occupied to a bet
ler advantage.
If there is any one crop that should
occupy ihe ground for two or three
years in succession it is onions, largely
on account of the work of cultivation-
But when clean cultivation is given
to all of tlic garden this will not lie so
necessary. Of all crops usually grown
in the garden tho onion is rather the
most diffieut to keep clean, and if
ffirve is a spot in the garden that is
free from weeds and grass generally
it is the best place to grow onions.
But even with this crop it is not best
to continue to grow, too continuously.
Another item in planting is to have
the crops arranged so as to keep the
ground occupied as fully as possible
through the growing seisou. By a
little ca re in this respect iwo crops
in ay in a majority of cases ho grown
while 111 some even three may he
secured. But if tho most is made out
of thejjgarden in this way it is essential
that on* crop should follow another
as closely as possible.
The advantage in planning ahead is
that wiien a favorable time for plant
ing comes the work can be {pushed a
long to a hetter advantage than if it
must he begun with no settled plan in
view.
M ike the garden soppily plenty of
fresh vegetables nl' through the grow
ing season with a sufficient surplus to
store away for winter.

ishes the wasted body of
the baby, child or adult
better than cream or any
other food in existence. It
bears about the same rela

cream does to miik. If you
have had any experience
with other so-called “just as
good” preparations, you
will find that this is a fact.
The hypophesphites that are
combined with the cod-!iver oil
give additional value to it because
they tone up the nervous system
and impart strength to the whole

Tlic God of Murderer*.
In a certain mountain village onlled
Laituk, on the northwest frontier of
Burma, is a sacred pool, iu which is
said to live a net—i. e., u demon—call
ed Shearpanlni, who is the guardian
spirit of marderers.
Wheu a murder is committed any
where in these hills, the water of this
pool is reported to turn flood red.
Now, when this happens it is a warn
ing sign to the villagers, who tire the
wardens of the pool, to be on their
guard lest the murderer, whoever be
may be and from whatever village he
may come, unobserved, succeed in
reaching the pool, for the Chin law or
custom is that if a murderer manages
to elude the “avengers of blood" (who
are usually some near blood relations of
the victim) and the vigilance of the
guardians of the pool and succeeds in
gaining it and washes his hands in its
blood red water, which, as soon as this
occurs, resumes its usual appearance,
testifying that the god of murder is ap
peased, he is absolved from bis blood
guiltiness and is a free man,
and no one may henceforth molest him.
On the other hand, if he were over
taken by his pursuers or were he pre
vented by the village guardians from
reaching the well ho would speedily pay
the penalty of his crime with his life.—

“T could tell you a story about ‘strong
men photography.' Some of the minor
limbs of tho fraternity depend on the
cunning of the camera for advertise
ment. ’' So said a photographer.
“One fellow, who visits country fairs
and casual shows, goes through tricks
of a kind wonderful to the unscientific
mind. They are merely tricks after all,
and his strength is a catch. He depends
on his photos for advertisement. In pos
ing he folds his arms tightly, dilates
the muscles of his neck and lines his
veins with prussian bine. His picture
gives you Hercules in his power of maj
esty In private ho is a well developed
man, without any swagger of sinow or
strength.
‘ ‘Professional strong men are as clev
er at make np ns a society actress The
latter lavishes attention on face and
neck, while breast and ribs, muscles
and throat occupy the former for hours
ore the camera confronts them. A few
lines about the body add pounds to tho
weight of a strong man (in the pic
ture); a studied pose imparts addi
tional formidability.
"The veins of a certain professional
Hercules protrude like whipcord in the
photographic cabinet. He dusts them
with powdered ultramarine and treats
the high parts of the muscles with in
dian red. Otherwise his picture would
appear quit© ordinary.”—Cincinnati

To prevent an ingrowing nail a strip
of cotton should be worked between the
nail and the flesh, left large enough to
cover the entire nail. A pieco of cotton
is then twisted into a long roll and
placed on the other side of the nail
groove over the sound skin. The space
between is filled with load nitrate,
heaped up, and the larger piece of cot
ton folded over it. with more cotton
outside, held in place with a moist
bandage. This dressing is renewed ev
ery day, and in two or three the exn
berance is reduced until the edge of the
pail can be seen, and cotton inserted
between it and the flesh beneath, when
the nitrate can be discontinued.
