Nothing But Death. Will Bring Reat 40
His WearyBonese
Ono one of the routine papers which
passed through the offices of the district
building to -day was found the follow.
ing indorsement:
"Dee C. 33. Robinson, the district vet-
erinarian, reports to the eozumissioners
that horses numbered 104, 173 and 200
of the district lire department are .unfit
for further fire service, and recommends
that they be turned over to the pro-
perty clerk for his disposal."
This indorsement is suggestive of the
fate of the fire horses. There is no
reeomendation that they Tie retired to
the pasture or kept in a warm stall with
plenty of fresh hay end oats for the
remainder of their days, as a reward for
faithful services extending over a period
of many years. Only the cold state-
ment that they have passed the stage of
their usefulness and should be disposed
of by the property clerk, and they are
designated by numbers like so many am-
bulance or patrol wagons.
No efforts are made to retire the
faithful equines on a pension with
higher rank, but instead, they will be
demoted, for after they are discarded
by the fire department they will he
turned over to another, the street clean-
ing department, perhaps, and will be
required to draw cartloads of refuse
about the city until they are completely
broken down and the period of their
dissolution sets in,
In the coming days perhaps, while
hitched to some garbage wagon, wait-
ing upon the streets, these once spirited
animals will ]tear the sound of the fire
gong, and, as the engines dash past,
drawn by fresh, young steeds, they will
prick up their ears with the recollection
of the time when they, too, were
young and spirited and rushed through
the streets of the city drawing the
puffing engines of some valiant fire
company in its mission of protection to
life and property.
The fate of the worn-out fire horse is
sealed. There is no hope in store for
him, and onlv death will bring him rest.

•
periences.
Miss Suzete Taylor, an Englishwoman,
who has just returned from Thibet,,says
that the Thibetan is well enough dis-
posed to the European who behaves with
ordinary civility and common sense. For
instance, when the polite Thibetan puts
out his tongue at you, you should not
knock himdown, for he is only being
civil to you after hisown kind. The in-'
sanitary hand -shake is not countenanc-
ed, and its place in the code' of civility
is taken by the projected tongue.
Again, if you are .passing a train of
laden mules on a narow ledge of rock,
and your own muleteer runs up and
casts himself against your legs, refrain
from kicking him over the precipice. He
is not about to take your life, but mere-
ly desires to protect you from damage
by a passing mule.
One day during Miss Taylor's journey
a fearsome jogs, or holy pian, with a
coiffure like a poodle, came along, and
Miss Taylor went timorously forth to
snapshot; him. To her astonishment 'he
instantly struck a pose of complacent
sanctity.
Another day Miss Taylor strayed into
a Buddhist temple at prayer time, but
her parasol excited such intenseinterest
that prayers were interrupted while the
lama borrowed and opened. it, amid a
chorus of admiring murmurs.

"I had been treated by a doctor
without ,good results, so uponthe
reoommendatiozl of a consin who had
been saved from a life of misery by
taking Dodd's Kidney Pills, I began
taking them.
" The first box gave me decided
benefit and after taking five boxes
the old trouble was a thing of the

SECRETS OF A GOODFIT,
Wo::ilen mater;als, owing to their
elact:eity, should bo lightly stretch-
ed, down the length when they are
being tacked on the lining.
Those woven with a twill stretch
even more than the plain ones, and
must therefore be tighter on the
lining.
A soft diagonal may be stretched
an inch down the length of the
waist, ordinary twills three-quar-
ters of an Inch, and ordinary. woollen
materials half an inch.

CONCRETE FLOOR BEAMS.
Rollo*: Tubes of Cement Take the Place
of Madera Joists.
•
Cement is .being made use of for floor
beanie instead of those of wood by the
invention of M.,•Siegwvart, an architect
of•Lucerne, Switzerland. In their out-
'ward epPearanee these beams resemble
the long wooden tubes which are made
use of to 'a 'certain extent for the pur-
pose of containing wires being placed
underground. The beams that are
turned out at the Lucerne establishment
have a uniform breadth of slightly less
than 10 inches, but vary in the other
dimensions, according to the length of
of span and . the load which they are
designed • to carry. The hole extends
through the length, and the metal rods
with which the concrete is reinforced
vary from slightly less than'. two
inches to a little over three. There are
generally six of these. in each beam
Two of tate rods are laid parallel with
-the under face of the beam, and the
other four are bent upward in the form
of a knot at the ends in order to
strengthen their supporting power. The
proportion of eenient to coarse sand
used in manufacture is as 1 to 4. The
beans, being made hollow, have the
same strength as though they were
solid, with a great reduction in weight.
On account of being hollow, they are
more easily heated. Their sides are
corrugated so that the cement used in
joining them can enter the spaces and
form a solid mass.
The manner of laying the beams to-
gether is exactly the same as in the case
off wooden beams. They are made in
different' lengths, anti, besides being used
in floors, they can be employed in the
construction of. roofs, terraces and stair -
ease supports; also in walls where there
is a side pressure, as in warehouses,
coal bunkers, etc. ft has been demon-
strated that these beams can Support
a load four or five times as great as
can the ordinary wooden beams.
Besides being of greater strength than
the wooden beams, they have the addi-
tional quality of being fireproof. It is
also claimed that the beams can be
laid much more rapidly than any other,
and when it is desirable to do so the
conduits through the centre may be
made use of for ventilation.
Longing to be a Hero.

I want to be a hero;
Not one of those who fall
Where battle rages fiercely;
Nay, net that kind at all.
I do not long to carry
The frowning height by storm,
Or leave the foe to bury
My sadly- mangled form.
I want to be a hero,
But not where si all and shot
Cause blood to rue in torrents
And warships get to pot.

From being scorched or stunned,
So that I may dip into

Inside Inn Accommodations
You Can Live at this Hotel and Sao
the World's Fair as Many Days as
You Like Without Leaving
the Grounds.
RATES EXTREMELY 1'IODBST.
One of the unique privileges to be en-
joyed by thousands of World's Fair
guests is that of living at an hotel in-
side grounds during their stay at the
Exposition. No other exposition has af-
forded such a privilege, This hotel, aptly
named `'The Inside Inn," has a capacity
of 6,000 guests. Its enormous size at-
tracts great attention. It is located
near the southeastern corner of the
grounds, closeto an Intramural railway
station, and in easy walking distance of
the "main picture" of the Fair.
The Inside Inn is to be conducted un-
der the supervision of the World's Fair
officials, who fix the prices for accommo-
dations—rooms, meals, etc, Thus it may
be 'seen that there can be no extortion
whatever. Every guest registering at
the hotel will know exactly what price
fie must pay per day for his room or
rooms and for his meals. The guest
pays his way into the World's Fair
grounds—fifty cents. If he stops at the
Inside Inn the hotel rates include the
daily price of admission.
There is a great demand for rooms at
the Inside Inn,, the bookings having been
in progress for several months. There
are 2,257 rooms; they range in price
from $1.50 to $2.50 per day, rooms with
bath costing from $3.50 to $5.50. All
these rates include the price of admis-
sion to the Fair after the first admission
fee oft fifty cents is paid at the gate. Sin-
gle meals at the Inn will cost as follows:
Breakfast, 50 cents; luncheon, 50 cents;
evening dinner, 75 cents. There is also a
service a la carte at very reasonable
rates. Guests who desire to obtain ac-
commodations on the American plan
may do so, at fixed rates, according to
location of room. .
Every convenience usually found at a
first-class hotel is to be provided at the
Inside Inn, and those who stay there
during their visit will have advantage of
barber shop. bath, lounging rooms, par-
lors, cool verandahs, and other privi-
leges.

ENOUGH COAL TO LAST 37r YEARS.
It appears that there is coal in the
United Kingdom to the depth of 4,000
feet, sufficient, at about the present rate
of output, to suffice for 371 years, but
that this period will be considerably ex-
tended, seeing that there is every prob-
ability that mining can be carried on
to a depth of 7,000 feet, though at this
depth there will not be anything like
the area of coal that there is at the
former limit. It is also reasonable to
expect that this period of supply may
be further extended by a more econom-
ical use of fuel, due to the establishment
of central electrical supply stations and
the utilization of Mond and other gas -
producing processes and of gas -driven
engines, as well as other means of ob-
taining a higher percentage of the heat
value of the fuel.—St. James' Gazette.

A white Russian priest must be ma

If his wife died he must enter a. mon-

which the priests resort in guarding the
health of their wives. If the priest's
consort sneezes, a mild panic ensues in
the household.
