Majority well\nInsured, Rebuilding.\nForme has been the victim of the fire\ndemon at last, and nine-tenths of the\nbusiness portion of the town has beon\ndestroyed.\nThe fire broke out in the general\nstore of C. Richards at 3 a.m. Friday,\nand by 8 a.m. only ashes and smouldering embers marked the place where\nstood practically all the business blocks\nof the town, the Northern hotel, Rob-\nbin's furniture, Sheppard & Elliott's\nhardware, Roger's tobacco stand, tlie\nFree Press, and, at the othor end, the\nCentral hotel, being the only business\nhouses of the central portion remaining.\nThe following is the lucid description\ngiven in the Free Press tire edition Friday ovening of the progress of the\nflames:\nThe (ire had gained some headway before it was noticed, and in the absence\nuf a regular lire alarm considerable time\nelapsed before many of those, most directly interested were on tho scum,'.\nTho chemical engine did not reach the\nlire for probably 20 minutes after the\nfirst alarm was given. H. Wilkes claims\nthe chemical engino did good work in\nRichard's store but that he had no one\nwho understood it to assist him after be\nbecame overcome with the smoke. The\nhoso was quickly attached to tlie water\nmain, but, to tlie utjfflr chagrin,of everybody, it was found that the pressure\nwas almost entirely oil', so much as to\nrender this means entirely useless. Mitchell's tailor shop caught as the flames\ngained headway. Then the Fernie\nDrug Store aud tho Victoria hotel on\nthe north side, and the Todd block, the\noffice of Drs.' Corsan & Bonnell and\nRichard's warehouse on the south side.\nThen a few moments' breathing space\nfollowed the crucial point When a little\nwater would have saved the entire north\nend beyond Wood st. The water almost\nentirely failed,so much so that bucket\nbrigades could not secure sufficient water to till their buckets, and most of the\nwater so used was secured from tanks\nin connection with house stoves. It was\nfelt by many at this time that, even under these adverse conditions, the fire\nmight 1)0 confined to the Victoria block\nas little breeze was blowing and a gentle\nrain was falling. The crowd could do\nnothing but idly await developments.\nThe walls of the throe-storey Victoria\nwent down in a whirl of roaring flames\nand heat so intense that Cameron's\nhouse and tho Muskoka hotel burst into\nflames. The remainder of tho story is\neasily told. Quickly the fire shot across\nagain and tho coal company's office was\nin flames, then the Fernio hotel was\nburning.\nThe fiery demon raged northward up\nboth sides of Victoria Ave. The Crow's\nNest Trading Co.; the three well-stocked\nstores of tho Trites Wood Co., and then\nIhe Royal hotel on the west side. Mc-\nEwing & Slinn's bakery; Fred Stork; J,\nD. Quail's hardware; Sinkbeil's boots\nand shoes, and the J \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ill block, where\nLiphardt's jewellery store is situated on\nthe east side. Still the'demon was unapprised. The Bank of Corumoroe\nacross Cox street ignited, thon Cuth-\nbert's block followed suit, which was\nfollowed by Christ church. A big fight\nensued hero which resulted in saving\nF. J. Watson's residence and tho hotel\nNorthern. That was the end of tho fire\non tho west side. In the meantime\nBurn's block was limning and the numerous small buildings leading to the\nSalvation Army were in flames. Here\nheroic efforts partially saved W. Ingram's\nhouse, which cheeked the flames in that\ndirection.\nThe wind shifted into the west and\nthe flames leaned across the lane into\nthe Alberta hotel block, levelling that\nbuilding, Pollock's wholesale liquor, the\nWaldorf hotel, Cody's hou.*, J. Brown's\nhouse and the Gem restaurant, where\ntho fire died for lack of fuel. The fire\nhad previously taken the Chinese quarter and the Carosolla liquor store back\nof Quail's. Tho Calgary Cattle Co., in\nthe Turner block, caught early from the\nVictoria, and tho Central hotel had a\nnarrow shave. And that was the fire,\non the anniversary of the Frank slide.\nNearly the wholo of six business\nblocks were consumed, tlie total loss ox\nceeding half a million dollars. The insurance will amount to about a quarter\nof a million.\nThe cause of the fire is unknown, but\nit is thought to have originated from a\ndefective electric light wire in Richard's\nstore.\nAn estimate of the individual losses\nwitli insurance is as follows :\nThe Trites-Wood Co.. building and\nstock loss $120,C00, insurance 880.0' 0.\nC Richards, general merchandise, loss\n$10,000, insurance 828,000.\nF.

Bieasdell, drugs, loss SS,0d\nbutter and a cup of tea. Our dinner\nwas one helping of meat with vegetables, and one helping of pudding.\nOur supper was tho same as our\nbreakfast. The food was good of its\nkind. During the four years and\nmore which 1 spent at that school I\nwas never in bed for sickness, nor do\nI remember that any one of my\nschoolmates was. At college I did\nnot overwork myself. I never worked at night. But I took regular exercise, almost always on horseback.\nWhen an examination approached I\nrather reduced than increased my\namount of reading, thinking that\nfreshness and nerve would be worth\nmore to me in the trial than the little additional amount of knowledge.\nI may add that, though I have never\nlived by rule, my general habits have\nbeen such as to preserve what my\nearly advantages had given me. I\nhave always taken plenty of exercise;\nindulged a little, in my own country,\nin field sports; and traversed Switzerland and tha Tyrol with my knapsack. It has been my habit to work\nearly in the morning, not late at\nnight.\"\n\"I see mention,\" continues Mr.\nSmith, \"made of some parents who,\nbeing warned that their children were\nin danger of being made sick by\noverwork at school, declined to interfere, saying that sickness might be\ncured, but want of education could\nnot. What is education? Is it not\npreparation \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' for life? How can a\nchild be well prepared for life when\nthe physical energy necessary to sustain mental effort is impaired? Besides, however highly wc may value\neducation, character, after all, is the\nmain source both of usefulness and\nhappiness, and character can hardly\nfaii to share the weakness of un overwrought and enfeebled frame.\"\nMr. Smith then dilutes on tho misgivings of our public school system.\n\"In the first pluce,\" ho says, \"it is\nmechanical. It must deal with all\nchildren alike, regardless of differences of constitution, bodily or mental,\nand of special destination in life.\nThere is a hackneyed story of a minister of education in Franco, thut\nhappy land of administrative uniformity, pointing to a bell in his oflico\nand saying that when he rang that\nbell the same lesson commenced in\nall the public schools of France. The\nstory may be assumed to bo apocrypha, but its moral deserves consideration.\n\"in the second place, the system is\nunpiireiital. Dr. Dice, in his work on\n'Public School System of United\nStutes, dwells repeatedly and emphatically on this fact. He says thai\nin some cases the indifference of parents is such thut they will not take\nthe trouble to ascertain whether the\nschool-rooms to which they s\nEDDY'S IMPERVIOUS SHEATHING\nTha \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nlullding Pap*r IWIiBd**.\nIt le Tcrj much ntronenr and thicker than any other (tarred or balla-\nIng) paptr.

It is certainly something of\nwhich to be proud.\nHero we have many different business\nhouses serving the public in varied\nli ii s. Dry goods' merchants, hardware,\nmerchants, grocerymen, confectioners,\ngent's furnishers, bakers, barber, white\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD laundry man, druggist, doctor, lawyer,\nand tlie finest hotel accommodation in\nthe province, barring the coast cities.\nTo know our business houses wo refer you to the columns of the Despatch,\nas all who are enterprising and have the\ninterest of the town at heart show it by\npatronizing the local paper.\nOur town is bound to go ahead. It\nCannot be Stopped, We have the re\nsources, the industry, and the situation.\nTnoro is every reason to believe that in\nthree years to*ns of importance at pre-\nin B.C. will bo outdistanced and outgrown by this youngster, which will be\nby that time ono of the busiest towns of\nthe Kootenays.\nWho can tell what this town will be\nwhen two years of age ? Some things\nwe can forsee as the result of another\nyear's progress: school, jail, electric\nlight, improved water works, good\nroads and sidewalks, a good English-\nspeaking mining population, and work\nfor a largo number of such men. This\nis a modest view, but some, more hopeful, may seo a more busy centre, a great\ngrowth in population, extensive building operations, and general boom as the\nresult of favorable outcomos to some\npresent undeveloped schemes.\nMorrissey Minus is a yearling and a\nhealthy one.\nTho Toronto clairvoyant would have\nhelped Fernie none had she warned\nthem, even if they had faith in such\nprophecy. They depended on a squirt\ngun and a mud-clogged water pipe to\nstop a blaze in a fire-trap town.\n* * \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nWithout any intention of soft-soaping\nanyone or every body, as that is out of our\nlino, we can stale our belief that there\nit no other small town in the province\nwhere could be found a morn gentlemanly, courteous, and intelligent body of\nmen, taken all in all, than are the citizens, of Morrissey Mines.\n* * #\nThe Fernie fire should open our eyes\nto the need of proper fire protection in\nMorrissey Mines. We have a water\nmain but no hydrant and no hose. The\npressure is weak that it would bo of no\nuse anyway. We want that pipe fixed,\ntho.se leaks stopped to which we referred last week, the pressure increased,\nand hydrants put in. If the Coal Co,\nwill do that we can depend on our citizens procuring hoso and other apparatus for fire use.\n* * *\nThe blame for the Fernio conflagration can be laid on the Coal Company.\nTho water supply failed, and littlo more\ncould be expected with a waterworks\nsystem such as they have there. A\nfour-inch main is by no means adequate\nfor decent fire protection in a town the\nsize of Fernie, but to have that small\npipe half slogged with mud is truly an\nabominable condition. There is no excuse for it. A predicament as realized\nFriday morning could have been fore\nseen by any intelligent person acquainted\nwith such matters. The decrease in the\nwater pressure ,vhen the coke is being\ncooled at the ovens has been so marked\naud the power has so frequently failed\nthat such dependence on the water-\nsupply in case of a fire has been sadly\nmisplaced. Tho remedy will likely be\napplied now, and a larger main put in.\nTho Japs, by the two recent land victories, have again proved worth of being\nallies to the British.\n* * *\nTho acting-general manager of tho\ncoal company cannot make any statement at present regarding tho situation,\nho says.\n# * *\nIt is evident thai the outcome of the\npresent difficulty, in either event, will\nsee tho beginning of that rapid growth\nhud humming time here.\n# # *\nThe Morrissey route is the only proper\nroute to tho Flathead.

The wholesalers of the city\nhave been agitating for a long time to\nsecure tho concession. The fact that it\nhas been secured is hailed with satisfaction by the people generally. Its effect will be to make Nelson tho wholesale centre for East and West Kootenay.\nIn order to obtain the consent of the\nGreat Northern Railway Mr. Peters was\ncompelled to make a special trip to St.\nPaul. Considerable of tho credit for\nsecuring it is due to Harry E. Mac-\nDonoll, the General Freight Agent for\nthe C.P.R. in the Kootenays.\nIt is said that tho effect of the concession will be to largely increase the\nnumber of wholesale houses end to add\nto the business of those already located\nthere.\nThe rush is \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDn ...\n*W3jBM\n,.

Let her rule with justice, meekness and quietness. The most self governed person will always govern best,\nand we would have fewer servants If\nthey were all under (he firm and pa-\ntieut training of an employer who understood what their duties really were\nand required the best fulfillment of\nthem compatible with the frailty of\nhuman nature.\nOn the mistress of the house devolves\nthe task of providing food for her\nhousehold. When she is a \"model\" It is\nher care that no waste nor Ignorant\nmisuse squanders tlie property of her\nhusband nnd that nothing is lost by\ncarelessness or bad cookery.\nShe takes care that there Is no lack\nthrough fault of hers nor any drawback\nto domestic comfort through injudicious\nrule, no neglect caused by love of Idle\npleasure.\nIt is the wulcbful eye of the mistress\nthat keeps the home beautiful with the\nfreshness of cleanliness nnd the calm of\nrepose, and through her vigilance alone\nwill the servants prove faithful in the\nperformance of their duty.\nIt Is her thougbtfuluess that provides,\noften herself denial that purchases, the\ncomfort of others.\nThe model housekeeper today combines the useful virtues of our grandmothers with the cbarm aud graces of\na more cultivated and intellectual period.\nTHE CHARM WORKED.\nA Itorr Which Reveals the Key to\nGood Housekeeping-.\nThe Germans have a story which the\nhome loving people love to repeat A\nfather when bis daughter became a\nbride gave her n golden casket, with\nthe injunction not to pass It Into other\nhands, for It held a charm which in ber\nkeeping would be of inestimable value\nto ber as the mistress of a house.\nNot only was she to have the entire\ncare of it, but she was to take it every\nmorning to the cellar, the kitchen, the\ndining room, the library, the bedroom,\nand to remain with it in each place for\nfive minutes, looking carefully about\nAfter the lapse of three years the father was to send the key (hat the secret\ntalisman might be revealed.\nThe key was sent. The casket was\nopened. It was found to contain an old\nparchment on which were written these\nwords: \"The eyes of the mistress are\nworth a hundred pairs of servants'\nhands.\"\nThe wise father knew that a practice\nof inspection followed faithfully for\nthree years would become a habit and\nbe self perpetuated; that the golden\nensket nnd the hidden charm would\nhave accomplished their mission.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPhiladelphia Telegraph.\nTHE TOO KIND MOTHER.\nCULINARY CONCEITS.\nBecause of the odor as well as the\nstomnch avoid fiylng bacon or using\nlard in the chafing dish.\nTo keep celery fresh cnt off the tops\nand put In a large preserving Jar.\nScrew on the top tightly and set In a\ncool place.\nLemon nnd water cress are Ideal\ngarnishing for broiled squabs over\nwhich n little butter and minced para-\nley have been spread.\nMany people complain thnt onion\nrenders a salad impossible for them.\nSome of them are not disagreeably affected by a half teaspoouful of the\njuice.\nTart apples and crisp celery cut up\nin equal quantities and mixed with\nhickory nut meats make an excellent\nsalad.

It is a great mistake to\nput only a liille drop or water on the\nleaves first, filling the put afterward.\nShe Does nn lMjn-.il.-.- to Doth Her-\naelf and Her !>;. nn lil.-i 's.\nIt is all very well for a woman to\nlook after the interests of her children,\nand it is perfectly natural for her to\nwant to have the best of everything for\nthem. But if the accomplishing of\nthese desires means the mother's giving\nup everything that gives her any pleasure and making herself merely a family drudge for the honor und glory of\nher offspring It should not be done.\nMany a mother will not buy herself a\nnew gown for fear she would be taking\nmoney that could be used to better advantage in arraying her daughters io\nfestive costumes. Mother doesn't \"care\nabout going out anyway, and the girls\ndo, so they might Just as well have the\nthings.\" That is the way It is with\neverything, and before very long mother arrives at the startling stage of not\nhaving even a \"company\" gown for the\nhouse, while the daughters have really\nmore than they need and make the contrast between the appearance of their\nmother and themselves all tlio more\nnoticeable than if they were all dressed\nmore alike.\nThe daughters are relieved of all\nhousehold duties that they may keep\ntheir hands in good condition nnd have\ntime for learning to appear accomplished. Very few girls. If any, can be\nbrought up this way nnd still be true\nwomen in the proper meaning of the\nword. The \"too kind mother\" is not\nnearly so common as sbe used to be,\nand let us hope that In a few more years\nshe will have passed Into utter oblivion\nund a new mother, who believes In\nequal rights between mother and\ndaughters, reign In her place.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPittsburg Chronicle.\nSOILED LINEN BAG.\nHade of a Tonvel With Colored Border and Frtnn-ed Enda.\nThe pretty nnd serviceable soiled linen bag shown here was made of an ordinary towel having a colored border\nand fringed ends.

In fact, some\nsuch advice lias appeared in print from\ntime to lime. 1ml Ihe theory is absurd,\nsince above all the hair must be clean\nto lie glossy. Then one should lake Ihe\ntrouble vigorously to brush the hair\neach night before retiring. But tlie\nsame brush should never be used twice\nwithout cleansing. Since it is necessary to have more than one brush, it\nis well to have lliem vary, short aud\nlong bristles, as this aids in ridding\nthe scalp of that loose, line dandruff so\nugly to see scattered through the hair.\nI In brushing the hail' the strokes should\nbe firm and long. Violent, spasmodic\nbrushing is not only iiritating to the\nscalp, but disastrous to tlie hair as\nwell.\nThe Growing; Boy.\nTew people take tlie trouble to think\nnbout the hoy who is leaving childhood\nbehind blm, but he requires as much\ncare as bis sister of the same stage.\nPeople say he is clumsy and awkward,\nthat his feet and hands are nil out of\nproportion, and I hey qnile Ignore the\nfact that this \"ugly duckling\" will very\nprobably develop Into the \"swan\" of society. The growing boy is exceedingly\nsensitive, though you may nut think it,\nand to be ridiculed for his changing\nI voice or roughly reproved for his unin-\ni tentional awkwardness is almost agony\nI to iiiin. Praise and encouragement will\nj bring ont the best that is In him. No\nlad with conscientious Instincts would\n| dream of doing a mean action no mat-\ni tor how much his playmates may try to\ngoad him on, but nagging and \"scolding\" parents will do a great deal to hurt\nhis pride nnd crush his spirit.
