As speedily as possible hose were attached to hydrants and first one, then two, three, four and finally five streams were playing on the flames. Three was used in the rear,” where at that time the fire was burning the fiercest, and ‘the other two were placed in front and on the sides. As the blaze spread; two streams were taken from thé rear, and men were sent with one onto the roof of the Berman building, while the other was used to good advantage in check- ing the flames which were being constantly blown by the wind toward the Turf saloon. It was apparent from the very first that-it would be impossible to save any of the Naylor stock, but with prompt work the Em- porium stock might be removed from the building before it was touched by the fire, and willing hands were soon busy. It was a remarkable sight to see men as thick as ants passing in and out of the smoke-filled store, the out-going crowd carry- ing great armfulls of dainty mil- linery creations, laces, drygoods, ladies’ furnishings, etec. Some- times the workers fell and the goods were thrown in the muddy street, but they were picked up again and carried to a place of safety, Many of the goods were stored in Blooston’s saloon, temporarily, and were later removed to the empty room formerly occupied by the Grill restaurant. The store was stripped clean of everything but the shelving long before the flimes broke ontin the building, The stock was not damaged by fire, but much of it was partially or wholly ruined by the water and the roughhand- ling. Mrs. Berman estimates the loss at fully 65 per cent of the cost of the goods. As soon as the Berman store was cleaned out workers began on the Turf and Bank saloons and ou Barker’s drug store. There did not seem any great danger of the two latter places burning, but in the excitement, everyone wanted to do some saving, and stock valued at several thousands of dollars was hurried pell mell into the streets. Most of the goods from the drug store were stored in the Lumbermens National Bank. Mr. Barker’s loss is great, as bottles were broken and much perishable stuff ruined ia the rush, While all this was going on the fire engine bad been hurried to the city dock and was soon pumping water into the bydrant at the lake shore, There was not enough hose to allow connecting the engine di- rectly with a hose line to the fire, so the next best thing was done, pumping the water directly into the main. This gave a tremedous pressure at the uptown hydrants to which the hose lines were at- tached. As ton after ton of water was hurled into the center- of the flames with good effect, it looked as though the Berman store building might be saved, but the fire had been eating its way gradually through the roof and soon smoke broke out through the front, A man was sentup on a ladder to chop a hole in the wall and 8o give the firemen a chance to get action on the in- side, but it was useless; flames soon burst out from all sides. It was then, under the direc- tion of Assistant Chief Pogue, that men attached hooks axnd a rope to the fronts of the Najlor and Berman buildings a=d pul'ed them into the e*reet, Whenth y fell, in clouds of smoke a. d sparks and with a great cras, the fight was practically over. The tearing down of the fronts opened up great holes into which water was thrown without hin- derance, and the fire never had a chance to spread from that time on. The problem of saving the Turf saloon and the byilding oc- cupied by Winter’s jewelry store had long since been solved, and the battle was won. The fire was not entirely put out, however, unt_'.il 8 o’clock in RESOLVED THAT IT IS THE DUTY OF PARENTS To DRESS THEIR CHILDREN WELL .IT REFLE( GREDIT UPON ) ){(\‘ CHILDREN.

If the force left behind in the city had not been able to handle the fire the rest of the depart- ment could have been brought to Bemidji from Cass Lake within a short time after the first alarm. Cass Lake was informed of the fireand word was immediately sentby Chief Geil that if there was any danger he and his men would get an engine and hurry home. Assistant Chief Pogue answered that it was not neces- sary, that there was no danger. 1 some foreign sub- stance in it—the of a bee and a shred of broken win; “Well,” said the wife of the food ex: pert, “this is pure at any rate.” She held up the bits of bee on a fo her husband, “No benzoi maldehyde, borie acid or salicylic acid here, eh, John?” But John, the food expert, laughed scornfully. “Those bits of bee in the honey,” he said, “prove its artifici: Geruine honey never has dead bees in it. They who make genuine honey are too clean and careful for anything of that kind to happen. It is as rare to find fn real honey a hee's wing or a bee’s leg as it Is to find in a loaf of bread a baker’s hand or foot.” Bagging the Grapes. Immediately after the grapes have blossomed cover the bunches with two or three pound manila grocers’ bags, Becording ta the size of the varlety. This is pre-eminently a fruit garden method, although commercial growers often use it. It ig the surest and often the most practical way of securing per- fect bunches. Tie or pin the mouth of the bag firmly; leave no opening to catch water. Cut a smal] piece off the lower corner of the bag, so that no water will stay In It. Leave the hag on until the fruit is ready to pick.— Gardep Magazine. Poverty. Poverty Is very terrible and some- times kills the very soul within us, but 1t is the north wind that Jashes men into vikings; it is the soft, luscious south wind which lulls them to lotus dreams.—Ouida. the morning, and even then a Making Bread With Sea Water, At one time sea water was used in tome English seaside places when mak- i Ing bread. Even now villages along the icoast line of France utilize it. Fresh {rain or spring water is ouly used for i the leaven, pure sea water being exclu- sively employed for the making and mixing of the dough. By this method no mineral or table salt requires to be added, the natural salt water giving the bread the necessary degree of sa- linity. But, though sea water does ad- mirably for breadmaking, when ap- plied to other culinary purposes the result is a disagreeable failure. The wheaten bread produced by it, how- ever, is excellent and of great hygienie value. The chloride of magnesium, which imparts the acrid taste to sea water, is decomposed in the heating and therefore does not convey its origi- nal disagreeable taste to the bread, while the common salt, of course, pep- manently retains all Its characteristle Baline properties. The mineral sub- stances left in the baked bread are con- sidered to be of the nature of very mild regulating medicines.—London Mail. South Sea Tsland Customs, Yhen a south sea island mother wishes to chastise her child she seldom . | Fesorts to slapping, and slippers, of course, she has none. Instead of using the forms of punishment customary among civilized maothers she pulls the ehild’s hair or bites some part of the body, generally the fleshy part of the arm. In wandering about the village one sees many children having on their bodles scars produced by wounds In- fileted by their mothers' teeth. When # mother wishes to caress her child she deftly draws her thumb across its eyebrow or cheek or gently seizes Its cheelks between her teeth. The rubbing of noses is also a mark of affection among the Kingsmill islanders, as it Is among the Maoris of New Zealand. The Ship's Log. The record of a ship's voyage Is called Its log because the observationg of its speed, usually taken hourly, by the log line are a very important factor In the record. The log line is so called hecause the float attached to the line was originally a small log or stick of woad. This “log” is now a square or triangular piece of board weighted so that it sits upright in the water. The log line is divided by knots or marks into lengths of fifty-one feet, which is about one one-hundred-and-twentieth of a marine mile, so that the ship s going as many marine miles or knots in an hour gs the number of knots op lengths that run off the reel in hialf g minute when the “log” is thrown over- board.
