A 00STLYFIEE.
The Wholesale Grocery House of Horace 1'. King Scorched by tbe ii'lames. Last night just before 12 o'clock Orrie Cook and Ed Crane closed up the old Zozol lunch room on south Washington street and started out for a stroll. As they passed the wholesale grocery house of Horace King they were staitled to observe that the whole south section of the store was in flames. The alarm was turned in at once and the fire department was on the scene with the most commendablo promptness. Although the firemen labored under great disadvantage they never did better or more effective work. The room was filled with blinding, suffocating smoke, and the heat was almost intolerable but the boys bravely waded in and fought the fire most successfully. In an astonishing short time the fire was under oontrol and the adjoining store rooms were left unharmed. Had it not been for the smoke and water the stock would have most of it been unharmed, but as it was everything both up stairs and down was fairly bleached the smoke and the loss thus renderod very large. A great deal of the damag. ed stock can be used but this, of course, being
B.mokod
and scorched it
will not bring anything like its real value or cost. The origin of the fire is somewhat of a mystery and cannot le satisfactorily explained. Some think that it originated by matches being carried by rats in the engine room while a moro plausible theory is that some reckless fool or evil minded scamp touched a match to an old bug stuffed in a broken window of the engine room, rtnd this burning and tailing to the floor set fire to a pile of kindling. The theory is borne out byt the fact that the fire originated in the spot under the window. The loss is roughly estimated at $8,000, and was fully insured.
The loss is covered by insurance dis tribnted as follows: On
buildiDg
with
Shrum «fc Co., agents—Peoples of New Hampshire, $500 Milwoukee Mechanics, $2,500. Johnson Clore owned the building. On Mr. King's stock and fixtures with Shrum & Co., agents—Buffalo German, $2,500 German, of Preeport, 111., $3,000 Farmers, of York, S2,500 Peoples, of New Hampshire, $500.
With C. N. Williams agent—American, of Now York, $2,500 London Incorporation, of Chicago, $3,000.
With J. M. Shultz, agent, $2,500. Mr. King says he can place no estimate on the loss that would be exact. The loss by delay of business will be quite large and from this he will probable suffer the most. The fire is a most discouraging one for him but he will go right on with the business as soon as the adjustment is made and will make it win as it has done in tho past.
The Wreck Victims.
Yesterday noon agent Watson, of the Mcmon, stood on the Junction House platform when the north bound train rolled in and he was overwhelmed when suddenly a large crowd of laughing and shouting young ladies came leaping down the steps of the cars and proceeded to caper about him like mad, pnlling his hands and coat and some do say that the genial agent even got kissed once or twice before he could recover himself. Tho antics of the young ladies were explained, however, when it was learned that they wore members of the City Club Burlesque Company which was in tho awful wreck of Jan. 11. They had not forgotten the kindness and attention of Mr. Watson at that time and all expressed to him yesterday their unbounded tbanks. Many of the girls cried whou they came in sight of Crawfordsville and the whole company shed tears when the train stopped for a minute at the scene of the wreck now gay with blossoms and bright flowers. Doubtless all thought of poo» Madame VonRokey of their company, who lay upon the sncw covered ground a mangled corpse when they last saw the fatal spot.
A Gem In flis Line.
The Alba Hoywciod Compony was greeted by as cultured an audience as ever assembled in this city, and one capable and willing to criticise. This troupe can congratulate itself that it passed through the cultured and capital city of Oregon and received a large house and an audience that is unanimous in pronouncing it a fine company. Alba Heywood is a gem in his line, and no person has been able to place a large aadienoe in this city as he did last night.— Salem, Ore., Vajntal Journal.

A NEST OF SQUIRRELS.
The Cttte Antics of au Interesting Young llrood. One morning in the middle of October I observed that a family ol four young squirrels was venturing forth from a box just outside, my study window. They were not more tlinn six weeks old, and wore very timid. It was not often that more than two or three would appear at once, and one of these seemed much farther advanced than the rest, while another was very babyish. Their prime characteristic was inquisitiveness. What a fine and curious new world was this they had been introdueed to! How much there was to see! How many delightful thing's to dol They ceaselessly investigated everything about them' with minute attention, and lmd very p" Vty ways, such as a hab't of clasping earh other in their arms around the nock. They frequently scratched and stroked one another. Once I saw onediligontly combing another's tail with his forefeet.
Young red squirrels, of which we also had a family or two, play somewhat differently, having a peculiar way of regularly boxing with thoir fore pa ws.
Gradually they gain strength and confidence. and then you will see how fur the liveliness of the young can surpass even the tireless activity of old squirrels. Both old and young are exceedintfly fond of play, springing from the ground as if in a highjumping match, and turning regular summersaults in the grass, but the most amusing thing is this: Finding a place where the tip of a tough branch hangs almost to the ground, the}- will leap up and catch it, sometimes with only one hand, and then swing back and forth with the greatest glee, just like boys who discover a grape-vine in the woods or a dangling rope in a gvinnasium. Theseand many similar antics seem to be done "just for fun."
The kittens continue to be nursed by the mother until they have grown to be almost as heavy us herself, it seems impossible that her system can stand such a drain—in fact she does grow weak and thin—and my neighbor who has been an extremely close observer of their economy for several years, has come to the conclusion that the mother weans the kittens gradually by giving them food which she has regurgitated, or, at any rate, has thoroughly chewed up in her own mouth.
No animal is more motherly than one of these parent squirrels, and it is delightful to watch her behavior when the nearly-grown brood has begun to make short excursions, and is under going instruction. All the other families in the grove take an interest in the proceedings, and chatter about it at a great rate, but -f one comes too near and attempts any interference in the instruction, he is likely to be driven away most vigorously by the jealous mother, hvery morning lessons in climbing and nut-hunting an-given, and pretty scenes are enacted. The pride of the little mother as she leads her train out on some aerial path is very noticeable. They are slow and timid about following. Squirrels must learn to balance themselves on the pliant limbs by slow degrees. It is many along day after they are able to chase one another up and down and under and around a rough oak trunk in the liveliest game of tag ever witnessed before they can skip about the branches and leap from one to the other with confidence in their security. The patient mother understands this, and encourages them very gently to try again." I remember oue such lesson. The old one marched ahead slowly, uttering low notes, as if to say: "Come on, my dears. Don't be afraid!" Kvery little while she would stop, and the two well-grown children following would creep up to her, and put their arms around her neck in the most human fashion, as if protesting that it was almost too hard a task.
This loving-kindness is extended to other young squirrels whenever no question of family rivalry interferes.— Ernest Ingcrsoll, in Harper's Magazine.
THE CONSUMPTIVE TENDENCY.
From I.eutiire by Dr. ,1. II. IOIIokk, of the Hutllo Creek Siuiitnrium. It is a popular notion that the children of consumptives inherit the disease and must inevitably die of it. Hut an clement of error which must not be forgotten is that the children of consumptive parents are generally born before their parents contract the disease. For example, hero is a young man of twenty whose father died of consumptive when he was ten years old. When the child was born, the father did not have the consumption at all. Hut the usual conditions must not be lost sight of. The father was a man with small lungs, or perhaps he lived a sedentary life, and in consequence of this and the bud air he breathed, his chest capacity became small and his lungs weak and never able to completely fill themselves with air. The child would naturally inherit the same morbid conditions which the father had either inherited or acquired, and the child would thus be furnished with still smaller and weaker lungs than the father. The larger tho lungs, the greater the ability to reist consumption because of'the increased capacity for breathing in pure air and the greater number of cells equipped to resist germs. A child with small, weak lungs is likely to have consumption, not that he has inherited tho disease, but that he has an inherited weakness which disables him from proper defense against its germs, which he is liable to take in common with everyone else. When the development and health are normal, the body is ablg to defend itself against such intruders.
