B2« the need of th© Volunteer Fire
Departmnt.
True, the members of the
Volunteer Fire Department get
a slight remuneration in case
"water"is used, but does that slight
enumeration always pay for the
clcMhes that are ruined, or the days
of los* time that may follow a, cold
contracted by reason, of getting a
drenching at some chimney afire
that for a moment threatens the de
struction of the building, and may
be the town?
No, that few dollars only goes a
short way towards getting cleaned
uo after a call of fire, and does
not in the slightest showi the ap
preciation of the merchants, the
residents, or others for the organ
ization, or of thiei knowledge that th
organization hag of the fire hy
drants the fire apparatus, the lo
cation of the axes, the ladders, the
s')anners, the respirators, and the
thousan : and one things that ea-ch

Now on Thursday an appreciation

in any other manner.
See that every ticket offered for

be in attendance and you will then

MAYOR HI GILL
SMASHES BOOZE
Seattle, Feb, 19—What the dry
squad terms a "progressive booee
spilling" continued all day Saturday
on Fifth avenue, pack of th,e police
station, making three whole days
devoted te destroying liquor. Mayor
Gill Friday afternoon took a hatch
et over a thousand bottles of John
Barlecorn.
•'By hecv, they can't pay this
booze Isn'* going tot be destroyed,"
remarked the mayor as he took a
eitio swipe at a flask of "Old Ken
tucky." He worked diligently for
an hour with trusties and dry
squad officers.
One ot the trusties was Been
Thursday afternoon' to drop behind
a barrel and taka along pull at
the beer lie was pouring out of a
bottle. After he had tried this a
couple of times, to the amusement
of the onlookers, the dry squad
caugh* him in the act and sent him
back to jail. Closer watch was kept
by the dry squad Friday, tQ see that
there was no1 repetition of trusties
snatching drinks on the sly.
The liquor destroyed, yesterday
was cased goods, cartons and other
carc els takeni from transfer com
panies.
Marshall City, the new gold strik
on the lower Yukon, eleven miles
from Andreal'sky, is a freak . gold
field, according to a number of
northern mining men from Willow
creek, the stream on which! all of
the pay hag been found1—and ?250,
000 w<is takou out during the last
summer—ia a geological .curiosity.
The paystreak suddenly breaks off
wheai the timber line is reached
from the higher altitudes. All of
the gold is above the timber line.
Willow creek is the only stream of
this character that hag ever been
discovered in the North, and, so
far is known, in the world. A
similar condition is found om a
tributary of Willow Creek.
Frank Wagkey, Alaska's first dele
ga-e to congress, who spent a for

been one of the biggest winners at
Marshall City, his clean-upi for the

trip into the interior, but owing to

Teaching Birds Trick#.
A professor of uatural history ro
tates the statement so frequently made
that teaching n bird to draw water
needs apparatus and that the learning
is cruelty to the bird.
"The following experience of mine,"
be says, "proves that it is not so by
any means. We bought a young bird
last January, so wild that on our ap
proach It flew mndly round the cage.
We hung the cage low and by patience,
after the bird got used to our proxim
ity, induced it to take groundsel, first
held at stem's length, then between the
fingers, finally from the lips. We used
to let him out freely, and he would
perch on the loaf next me at break
fast. His perch projected through the
wires, and here was his favorite seat
when at liberty. Then I tried hanging
a bit of groundsel by a short string to
the projecting stick. After inspection
he pulled it up with his beak. On
lengthening the string with a fresh
bit of his preferred weed I had the
pleasure and interest of seeing him
pull up the string with his beak till
the flower head was within reach,
catching the slack after each pull with
one foot and then transferring it to
the other, so that the colls were quite
neat"—London Globe.
Water Pressure.
As early as 1648 a Frenchman of
science named Pascal experimented
with pressures applied to liquids and
discovered the following law: A pres
sure applied to any part of the sur
face of a liquid Is transmitted un
changed in amount in every direction
through the liquid.
Perhaps the most familiar applica
tion of Pascal's law is the hydraulic
press. In that machine a pump having
a small piston drives water into a large
cylinder and thereby forces upward a
large piston, which compresses what
ever is placed between the platform of
the piston and the fixed crossbeam at
tt*e top of the press. If the area of
the larger piston is 100 times that of
the smaller a downward force of one
pound exerted on the smaller piston
will create an upward force of 100
pounds upon the larger piston.

To the Boy of the
Twentieth Century
K *
So live that your afterself— the man
you ought to be—may in his time be
possible and actual. For away In the
twenties, the thirties, of the twentieth
century he Is awaiting his turn. His
body, his brain, his soul, are in your
boyish bands. He cannot help him
self.
What will you leave for him? Will
It be a brain unspoiled by wrong liv
ing or dissipation, a mind trained to
think and act, a nervous system true
as a dial In its response to the truth
about you?
Will you, boy of the twentieth cen
tury, let him come as a man among
men in his time, or will you throw
away his inheritance before he has had
the chance to touch it?
Will yon let him come, taking your
place, gaining through your experience,
hallowed through your joys, building
on them his own, or will you fling his
hope away, decreeing wantonlike that
the man yon might have been shall
never be?—David Starr Jordan.
Limbs of the Mind
As our bodies, to be in health, must
be generally exercised, so our minds,
to be in health, must be generally cul
tivated. You would not call a man
healthy who had strong arms, but was
paralytic In his feet; nor one who could
walk well, but had no use of his hands;
nor one who could see well, though
he could not hear. You would not vol
untarily reduce your bodies to any
such partially developed state. Much
more, then, you would not, if you could
help it, reduce your minds to it Now,
your minds are endowed with a vast
number of gifts of totally different
uses—limbs of mind, as it were, which
if you don't exercise yon cripple. One
is curiosity—that is, a gift, a capacity
of pleasure in knowing, which if you
destroy you make yourselves cold and
dull. Another is sympathy—the power
of sharing in the feelings of living
creatures, which if you destroy you
make yourselves hard and cruel. An
other of your limbs of mind Is admira
tion—the power of enjoying beauty or
ingenuity, which if you destroy you
make yourselves base and irreverent
Another ia wit or the power of playing
with the lights on the many sides of
truth, which if you destroy you make
yourselves gloomy and less useful and
cheering to others than you might be.
So that in choosing your way of work
it should be your aim, as far as possi
ble, to bring out all these faculties as
far as they exist in you; not one merit
nor another, but all of them.—Ruskin.
Two Foe«.
Two well known but unheeded facts
are that anxiety is no baker and bakes
no bread; that worry is no tailor and
makes no clothes.
