CREIGH'fON SLIGHTLY
DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Blaze in Rear Portion of Hotel
Thursday Evening Causes
Loss of About $150—Fully
Covered by Insurance.
-1.
Fire was discovered in the
kitchen portion of the new Hotel
Creighton about 6:30 o’clock
Thursday evening, and created
con&idterable alarm until its ex
tent became known.
The fire department responded
with the usual promptness and
after returning to the station for
an addition supply of hose soon
had the fire under control.
The blaze originated from a
defective flue and it is estimated
that $150 will cover the entire
loss. The Phillips & Ferguson
agency held the insurance poli
cies and the amount of the loss
is fully covered.

A "SHOWERPROOF” CLOTH.
Germans Treat Ordinary materials
with Petroleum—Curious Aquatic
Displays In Tailors’ Windows.
It bus usually been thought
that rubber was about the only
substance which would render
cloth wuterproof, although oil silk
is coated with another one, a prep
aration of linseed oil. However,
“showerproof” cloth is known as
1 that which repels water very
largely and yet remains porous,
appearing in all respects like or
diary wetable cloth. The methods
of treatment of such cloth are
often trade secrets, and even the
patent specifications do not di
vulge all that must be done to
achieve a satisfactory result.
“Petroleum,” a German period
ical, says that the oil to which
that paper owes its name is one of
the most successful showerproof
preparations. It says that the
only reliable shower proof Is ob
tained by impregnating the cloth
outside and in with a fine film of
waxes. Paraffin wax is the staple,
but owing to its low melting point
It is not fit for use alone. The com
position used is so alloyed with
other waxes and chemicals that at
the boiling point of water the wax
stands firm. A rather elaborate
preparatory form most be gone
through, and after the wax has
been applied a finishing process Is
required. The intereating fact re
mains that it is petroleum that
keeps out the wet. In tailors* win
dows in Germany many aquatic
displays have been arranged to
show that doth can mysteriously
be made to exhibit the power of
the dock’s back. Wool, cotton,
silk, Jinen, velvets, braids, and
even sails, awnings and tent
cloths are thus wrapped in an in
visible film of rock oil.
PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
The Brain in Certain States of Activ
ity Can Act on the Organic
Functions.
“Cenesthesia” is the name given
to the general feeling we have of
the existence of our ow-n bodies,
says the London Globe. This
sense of existence is chiefly owing
to accidental and local impres
sions awakening or stimulating
the sensibility, but it is completed
by a certain obverse conscious
ness of the exercise of the organic
>uuvi.wu»y » Vi,
tion. It is by this sensation that
the spiritual Ego perceives itself
existing locally in the limited ex
tent of the organism. In perfect,
health this feeling is continuous,'
uniform, and equal, and therefore,
not special or local. In order to be
remarked a certain exaltation of
well-being or distinct uneasiness
is required. In the hypnotic state
certain subjects have a more or
less distinct perception of their
internal organs and can exert c(re
tain action over them. In fact,
they can modify at will all the
functions of the “vegetative" life,
for instance, the beating of the
heart. The fact shows that the
' brain in certain states of activity
can act on the organic functions.
If there is a nervous current from
the brain to the organs there is
also, perhaps, a contrary current
from the organs to the brain. Dr.
Cromer, Liebault, and others,
maintain that some hypnotic.sub
Jects perceive their internal or
gans, and even those of other per
sons with whom they are in hyp
notic relations.

Immortelles.
The manufacture of immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least
1,500 persons. The immortelles
are gathered about the beginning
of October, and come chiefly from
the arid hills in the middle and
south of France. They are
brought to the markets in their
natural condition, and the yellow
blossoms are dyed green, red and
white, and woven into wreaths by
special workmen in readiness for
i All Saints* and All Souls’ days,
when all good Parisians visit their
relatives’ graves. On these “fetes '
des morts” the gates of the ceme
teries are beset with crowds of
i dealers in immortelle wreaths,1
wire crosses and bead crowns.
At Pere la Chaise alone more than
200.000 persons are calculated to
visit the cemetery, and the sale of
immortelle wreaths varies from
20.000 to 25,000.—Golden Penny.

There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
