The Baltimore block, next to the lunch counter, was also In dan ger, and several small Area started on the roof of the building, but were soon put out. The front of Will's music stove and the Woodworth drug store, across the street from the burning range, began to smoke and a stream of water had to be directed on the front in order to save the building from being set on fire from the Intense heat, flying embers fell us far away as the Southern Tactile station and had there been wind the major portion of the business section of AlV'y would hiive been seriously meiiai-sJ.

Probably many people, if they ever stop to think gf It at all, suppose Jhat the yaa rjum- ?5r 'o? pfts cuiied in a season ot fruit drying are merely hauled away and dumped out In the washes. ; Indeed, some of them are, but the In genious and thrifty Yankee has found a good use for them In another Way. The fruit pits make excellent fuel, In asmuch as they produce a. hot, quick fire. Sold at retail for this purpose they bring $7.50 a tor Not only are the shells used for fuel, but even the kernels inside the shell serve a purpose; that of forming a constituent of almond candy. The lit tle kernels Inside the hard shell have a bitter sweet taste very slmllur to that of the almond. The housewife when preserving peaches often puts two or three of these kernels In for flavoring. A San Francisco firm taking advan tage of their similarity to almonds, buys up the pits of the big fruit dry ing associations In southern Califor nia. They are then shipped to Los Angeles, where the seeds are cracked open by machinery. The kernels are extracted and packed, while the dis carded shells are hauled away and bring good prices as fuel. The kernels are shipped to Europe, mostly to Germany, where a great deal of cheap candy Is manufactured. In the factories there they are converted into aa almond paste, such as Is used by confectioners, and returned to the United States In that form. There Is also some sort of chemical made from the oil extracted from the so-called at mond kernels. It is often said that everything is of come use, and this would seem to ver End of Bitter Fight.

Valley City Business Blocks Destroyed by Saturday Blaze. Several Front street buildings, in the heart of the business district of Albany, were burned In a fire which broke out In a livery barn Saturday morning. The Are destroyed the Albany lunch counter, Neeley's barn and Chamber lain's meat market, and for a time threatened to burn up the greater part of the city. The Albany Morning Herald gives the following additional particulars: During the progress of the fire, In spite of the fact that there was no wind, flying embers Ignited a number of roofs, and It required close watch Ing to prevent the starting of other fires. The Implement house of Goltra & Rumbaugh, adjoining the meat mar ket, was quickly emptied of Its stock of vehicles. The building took fire Beauty's Enemy. There never yet was a. beautiful wo man who was not upright In figure. That Is one of beauty's sternest rules a graceful, upright carriage. Again. it Is the secret of the mysterious charm we so often find about a plain -featured woman. Round shoulders are so ugly as to make one look almost deformed. A pretty face will not compensate for round shoulders, nor, Indeed, will beau tlful hair, eyes or complexion. In these athletic days the plain girl becomes a dangerous rival of the pretty one by making herself graceful through the simple means of gymnasium practice or the popular "exerciser."
