- "Klllti DAY."
A movement has been started by
tho Fortland Association of Credit
Men that ought, and no doubt will,
receive the hearty co-operation of
the clttxcna of liond. It Is for a
"Flro Day." This Is another term
for a clean-up day, as It Is known
here.' The object of such a day Is
to rid the town of rubbish that Is
dangerous because It Is excellent
material In which a Are may be
started from a carelessly thrown
match, cigar or cigarette stub. With
tho flro "hoodoo" which has been
pestering bead, there Is hardly any
one who would not Join enthusi
astically In having such a day desig
nated locally.
October IS has been suggested as
tho day, and the Portland people
arc asking the Governor to Issuu a
proclamation to this effect, thereby
making tho movement state-wide.
Tho writing of letters to this effect
to the Governor Is urged. Tho mat
ter should also be placed before tho
City Counoll; the aid of tho ladies,
who are a great power for good when
It comes to neatness and tidiness,
should be enlisted; tho boys and girls
ought to bo aroused; the teachers
should talk to their pupils, and the
ministers urgo the movement from
their pulpfts.
It should be a "pull together" of
everybody, thereby making such a
day an event of much civic Import
ance, not only placing the town be
fore the public as a model of cleanli
ness but also removing the danger
of fire, to a largo extent.
The annual Ore loss In the United
States Is $2.C1 for each Inhabitant.
In Oregon in 1911 It totaled the
enormous sum of $1,653,487.98, or
more than $2.45 for each man,
woman and child In the state. This
Includes only the losses paid by the
Insurance companies, taking no ac
count of all losses not covered by Insurance.

Plucky and Successful Strugglt to Es
cape tht Embraes of ths Writhing
MomUr, Which Would Hsv Cruh
d Its Victim Llk-an Eggshell.
Fow mon after having been roughly
squcexcti by n python have lived to tell
of their seusatlous while In tho em
brace of the big snake. An English'
man employed In tho London zoologl
cat gnrdcus was, howexer, ono of the
fortunate few.
Tho Britisher while In Antwerp vis--tted
tho Janlln Zoologhme, where he
observed that a big pjrtlmn-a female
about fourteen feet tu length was suf
feting from carte of the Jaw, with ul
ceration, of tho mucous membrane, a
condition often fatal to snakes In con
dnement.
Having pointed this out to tho resl
dent director, the Englishman obtained
permission to make trial of an oint
ment that be had found cftlcaclous In
the early stago of the dlscaxo among
hU owu snaked.
Now, as III luck would hare It, tho
regular keecr was nbcut on this ar
Ocular occasion, and his place was till
oil for the time by another from some
other department or the Institution.
This man s-wke nothing but Flemish,
a longua of which the Urlton was Ig
norant. The Englishman went Into the py
thon's den with this nttenduut. taking
It for granted, of course, that the uiau
was accustomed to snakes and band
ing bttn the box of ointment to hold un
til the Briton should be ready to use It
When the Englishman bad brought
the pythou fairly dowu to the floor he
gripped her hard by the neck, which
action bad the effect, as bo Intended It
to have and wblcb It always bus with
snakes, of making her open her mouth.
While holding her thus bo pressed her
bead away from htm at the same time
to prevent her catchlug bold of any
portion of bis clothing In her efforts to
overcome him.
In her fright and rage she drew her
body up across tho Brltlshcr'a back and
twisted her tail round and round his
other arm. All that the Englishman
now rcaulml of the i-ciht wus. by
teasing or pinching her bi-tv and there
or by unwinding tho tall when necessa
ry, to cause her to shift her colls con
stantly and prevent her resting long
enough on oue spot to apply undue
pressure.
The Englishman turned to make a
sign to the Fleming to bo ready to band
blm the ointment To the foreigner's
dismay the Fleming" face, with a sort
of full. Impartial interest, looked at him
through the glass In front, the door
closed on the outside! He had become
frightened by the python and bad quiet
ly departed.
At the same Instant that the British
er turned the serpent tightened on him
so suddenly and violently that be mo
mentarily lost consciousness. Then he
found himself staggering about the den
dghtlng for life. He expected bis ribs
to give way every moment, yet bis
chief fear at the time wus of falling
through the glass.
He pusbi-d the reptile's hesd away
from him with all bis strength lest It
should cross his breast, and be can re
member i-ati'blng sight of himself, a
mulberry colored figure, lu the mirror
All tbe time that be fought be knew
that be was trampling over the other
pythons, who, furious at tbe disturb
nil'-?, were now darting about the don.
above nud all around blm In every di
rectlon.
Tbe Britisher exerted every energy to
keep bis fret, for he hsd retained suf
ficient presence.of mind to reallxe that
were be to go down all would be over
with blm. The beat was stilling. He
felt that be could endure It no longer
Tbe cage spun madly round before bis
yes, and be let go the snako'a bead.
Tbe big serpent now twlstrd nharply
over bis right shoulder 'lose to bis face
and slid off to ths ground.
Tbe Englishman remembers falling
against tbe door with outstretched
bands, but nothing mure until be found
blqisflf sitting on tbe steps outside
coughing violently, while the phleg
matic kecer was for some a-rult rea
son putting a hot key down his back.
Fortunately the snakr hsd only a
small part of ber body across thrttng
IMbmnn's left side and hiu-k. Had she
encircled him with n complete coll he
would have been crushed Ilka an egg

HENRY BELL'S COMET.
The First Blssmsr Thst Pllsd For Hlrs
In Qrast Britain.
Among tho curiosities of advertising
msy surely be placed the flmt adver
tisement of tbe first steamer thst piled
for hire In tirrat llritaln namely.
Henry Hell's Comet. Thus ran tbe ad
tertlsement In tbs Glasgow Courier of
1811':
"Hteam passage boat, the Comet, be.
tween Olasgow. Ureenm-k and Helens,
burg. For passengers only. Tho sub
crltxr having at much expense fitted
up a handsome vessel to ply tion the
river Clyde between tSlnsgow and
(Jrccnock to sail by the power of
wind, air and steam he Intends that
the vessel shall leaie the Itmomtelaw
on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur
days about midday or nt such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave iSrccn
ock on Mondays. Wednesdays: and I'rl
days In the morning to suit the tide.
The elegance, comfort, safety and
speed of this vessel require only to be
proved to meet the npprobatlon of
tbe public, and the proprietor Is de
termined to do everything In his power
to merit public encouragement The
terms are for tbe present 4 shillings
fur the best cabin and .'I shillings for
the second, but beyond these rates
nothing Is to be allowed to crrnnts or
any other person employed about tbe
vessel,"
What would poor neglected Henry
Dell have said could ho bare seen his
humblo llttlo Comet, of whoso ele
gance, comfort and speed he was so
proud, alongside a modern ocean
racer or one of the latest palatial river
steamers of the Clyde or Thames, all
so well advertised? Chambers' Journal.
