Danger frbflif'Fire.
An old gentleman, a doctor, sent for the
chief to complain that for weeks there was
an odor of smoke in a room. It appeared
to come from underacarpet./ At times it
would not be detected. .
Chief Gicquel pulled back the carpet, cut
up the floor and found a beam, the core of
which was burned into for several feet by a
fire which was traveling to a draught from a
brick flue on which the end of the beam im-
pinged.
In building the best houses wooden mate-
rials are so placed that some day they will be
touched by fire which will out its way to air.
If an odor or smoke that cannot be entirely
explained is detected in any house, the safest
way is to go to the nearest fire quarters.—

The 81on School in Baton.
But perhaps the school presents none of
these sights, but a very different and; a'sig'nt
half sad, yet not without a ray of gladness;
a- picture not composed of trained, teachers
or boisterous youths or prattling children
eagerly listening and as eagerly speaking,
but of agroup of deaf and dumb. And now,
if ever, you may . see what, intense enthusi-
asm may be thrown“, into manual training. ‘
The poor un‘fortunates deprived of hearing
and of speeCh find here a new field in,.which
to exercise their .minds and express their
ideas. By their disabilities they are enabled
to concentrate their minds better than their
more fortunate, brethren, and even outstrip
them in excellence of workmanship, '
Among the .boys there is a deaf mute sofrne
16 years of age who surpaSses all others in
the school, a result attained not by superior
talent but by close application. Near him
another boy of magnificent build and great
ability dashes off his work—now planing, now
carving, with a. master hand. On the other
side of the room, in the midst of that row of
girls—neat, even pretty girls—there are two
most noticeable; one a brunette, whose
quick, observant-eye omits nothing while her
snow white hand deftly draws and carefully
carves the model. Beside her stands a quiet
blonde with blue, thoughtful eyes, carefully
examining her model; and then, as if sudden-
ly discovering some new principle, makes a.
gesture of joy and resumes her work. At the -
close of the exercise she' takes the finished
model to her teacher, and, with a pleasant
smile, joyful feelings struggling for expres-
sion in her soulful face, says, in the deaf mute
language, “I love this work.”——F. B. Arn-
grimsson in Popular Science Monthly.
Ali‘I‘l'il‘bit.
We are all creatures of habit, even in per-
forming duties for which we have prepared.
Alittle boy, whose mother had taught him
his letters, went to school one day, and at-
tempted to go through them with the teacher.
Vain effort! He stopped at "B,” and was un-
able to recognize “C” as even a casual ac-
quaintance. At length a happy thought oc-
curred to him.
“Twist my turl i” he said, eagerly, pointing
to a sunny lock of hair on his neck. “Mamma
always does when I say ’em.” The teacher
began to play with the ' curl, and the little
boy’s memory returned.
Even growu people are dependent on habit
in fulfilling public duties. Mr. George W.
Cable one evening not long ago, as we learn
from another paper, lectured in Scranton,-
Pa. A' large audience greeted him with their
presence, but only that. When the noted
author was introduced he was received with
a dead silence.
Most speakers would have been embarrassed
almost beyond recovery by so frigid a recep-
tion, but Mr. Cable was equal to the occa-
sion, and administered a just rebuke in the
happiest possible manner.
He said that in order to appear at his best
before an audience it was quite necessary
that he should be greeted with a; noise of
some sort; they need not scream, nor was it
necessary for the ladies to wave their bon-
nets, but a. loud rumbling noise he must bear.
Of course the noise came, and when it had
ceased be thanked them for their unsolicited
applause, and added that now, with the
boldest elfrontery, he could begin as he had
intended—“Dear friends.”—Youth’s Com-
panion. '

SupersmTon in India.
One of the numerous temples in India con-
tains a couple of relics of the god to whom
it is dedicated, one of which is the last foot-
print made on the earth by the god before as-'
cending to heaven. This footprint is' in the
solid rocks, showing that the god gave a vig-
orous push to start himself well on the way,
and it is about two feet in length, showing
that he was of super-heroic stature. The
other relic is a. tooth of the god. Some years
ago the temple was captured by Europeans,
and the sacred tooth was ground to powder
and thrown into the river by the irreverent
captors. But the particles of the tooth came
together, so the priests say. and assumed their
original shape, and the perfect tooth was
found reposing on a leaf. It was carefully
replaced in the altar of the temple, inside of
nine golden caskets, where it remains to this
day. The blind worshipers believe it to be
the original tooth of their god, and their faith
is not at all shaken by the fact that natural—
ists who have examined it pronounce it to be
the small molar tooth of an. elephant—St.
Paul Pioneer-Press.
Leprosy 'ls Cbntagious.
Recent investigations seem to remove all
doubts that leprosy is contagious. The cause
has been found by Hansen in a bacillus re-
sembling the germ of consumption, and Dr.
Arming, of Hamburg, has pro liiced leprosy
in a condemned criminal by inoculation.—

' “You have a. nice place here,” remarked a
gentleman who had stepped into a drug store,
evidently newly established, on one of the
rapidly growing thoroughfares in outlying
Brooklyn. ’ ' ‘ '
“Yes,” replied the druggist, rather dubi-
ously; “it is only an experiment, though.”
_“Rather an expensive one,” continued the
first speaker, glancing at the handsome fix-
‘turas and belongings.
“Oh,” laughed the druggist, “that is at the
landlord’s expense, not mine." ’
Further conversation revealed the fact that
it is a common thing for owuers of flat
houses to fit up the ground floor in the most
complete manner for use as a drug stereos
an inducement to a. druggist tenant. Shelves,
lettered drawers, prescription counters, shelf
bottles, and the big window carafes holding
the colored liquids, all these and more are
contributed by the landlord. In return he

The most elegantly dressed man who has
walked the streets of Boston for fifty years
was the late lamented Nathaniel G. Greene.
He had an eye for color. He would go into
the shop of a tailor who might be unknown
to him, having been allured by a piece of
goods in the window, and ask in his winning
tones: “My friend, can you make a pair of
trousers according to a pattern that I will
draw?” Then with chalk he would outline on
the cutting table precise] y his idea, take from
his pocket It iiieiiiornndum of Width of waist
and length of leg, and, without asking price,
would order the garment.- to be sent to Us ad-
dress. If that tailor carried out his idea he
would buy cloth wherever he saw what he
liked and return and patronize him until he
made a. mistake. S0..,:;I.-Iu, with Ills coats, es-

A New Method of Treating Disease.
Hospital Remedies.
What are Ihey ? There is a new depar-
ture in Ilie treatment of disease. It con-
sists in the collection of the specifics used
by noted specialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment pursued by
special physicians who treat indigestion,
”stomach and liver troubles only, was ob
tained and prepared. The ii'eutiilent of
other physicians. celebrated for curing
catarrh was procured, and soon till these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female Weakness,
rheumatism and nervous dcbility.
This new method of “one remedy for
one disease” must appeal to' the common
sense of all sufferers. many of whom have
experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly
realize the absurdity of the claims of Pat-
eiit Medicines which are guaranteed to
cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the
use of whicli,,as statistics prove, has ruin-
ed more stomachs than alcohol. Acir-
culur describing these new remedies is
sent free on receipt of stamp to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company,

liable agents wanted.
A Strat‘ubhin the. Clouds.
A wonderful phenomenon was witnessed
by the passengers on the 1 o’clock Jersey
Central fe'rryboat one afternoon. When the
boat was near the New Jersey shore a bright
mirage was discovered in the air right over
the Jersey Central depot. The whole bay
was reflected on the clouds and ships were to
be seen as plainly as if they were .on the
water. Just before the boat reached the
slip the magnificent Statue of Liberty was
seen in the mirage, and it made a most beau-
tiful and impressive spectacle. The statue
was clearly revealed and it seemed to be'
about a thousand feet in the air. —New York

A bout 'Hypnoiism.
I have yet' to learn that a tumor has been
removed by hypnotisrn, or that the results of
'a destructive lesion in the nervous system
have been undone, or that an ulcer has been
healed suddenly. The power of post hypnotic
suggestion to cause crime through an inno-
cent agent carrying out —at a time hours -or
days after emerging from the hypnotic state
-—the action suggested while in that state has
aroused the serious attention of physicians
and jurists alike, while the danger of pro-
ducing a widespread condition of nervous
disease as a. result of public demonstrations
of “mosmerism” is emphasized by all writers
upon the subject—Dr. O’Connor in Catholic

In Mexico a favorite dish with the common

the common house fly, which is gathered in
the spring from the surface of the water in
the marshes near the city of Mexico in vast

only make a business of procuring them, but
really cultivate them, by making arrange-

Fireproof, Japanese Houses.
The combustible nature of J apaness houses
renders large fires a' freciuent and disastrous
calamity; hence, since along time ago the
morewealthy Japanese merchants, as well as
farmers, have been in the-habit of building
a kura or. fireproof mud house contiguous to
their shops and dwellings, yet generally en-
tirely isolated. Into these are buried, at the
first alarm which indicates a fire approach-
ing the ‘premises, the portable property,
household stuffs, merchandise, etc., and the
kura is then closed, and if time permits the
joints of windows and doors are sealed with
fresh mud. A fire passing around and over
such structure will ‘leave its contents un-
harmed—Detroit Free Press.
Fresh Facts About the Gulf Stream.
Many theories have prevailed in regard to
the source of the mysterious current known
as the Gulf stream. As reported in The
Philadelphia Inquirer an attached? a United
States coast survey steamer, which'has spent
two years in tracing this stream, now claims
that facts have been established that knack
in the head all .the old notions of its origin.
The most interesting of these are, first, that
the true source or beginning of the Gulf
stream is at a point between - Fowey Rocks,
Fla.,and the Gun Cay on the coast of the
Bahamas. And, second, that the moon affects
the Gulf stream, and that the current is con-
trolled absolutely and arbitrarily by that
bodv.
School Children Are Not Oterworked.
At the present day there is much talk about
overworked pupils in our schools. It is claim-
ed that too close and protracted study breaks
down scholars—that our system of education
is hard upon the - nerves and health of stu—
dents of both sexes. We very much question
the ground of this complaint. The average
student, male or female, is not overworked.
Other things are the real cause of poor health
among this class, such as improper dress and
diet, lute hours, bad habits, and general neg-l
loci; of the laws of health. In other words,
the real cause of the poor health of most stu-
dents is found at home, and not in the school—
room.—Yankee Blade.“ ‘
Professor Brusli’s School Days.
You observe there Charles F. Brush, the
inventor of the Brush electric light. Al-
though we have one or two famous members,
heisaltogether the most famed, as well as
the richest man in our class. In college we
looked down upon him; we would scarcely
acknowledge that he was one of us. \Vhy?
Oh, he took the scientific course and we
were in the literary department. The liter-
ary fellows were the dictators of college life
and set themselves up on a self-supposed.

Value of Personal Charms In Women.
Young women are also often led to depend.
for happiness upon personal charms. Do not.
be beguiled into such a‘ belief. Beauty is such
a subtle thing, it does not seem to depend
upon facial proportions, or upon the sparkle
of the eye, or upon the flush of the cheek. '
You sometimes find it among irregular fea-
tures. It is the soul shining through the face-
that makes one beautiful. But alas for those-
who depend upon mere personal charms.
They will come to disappointment and to a.
great fret.—-De Witt Tulmage in Ladies"

The Emblems of Our Flag.
When we consider what the flag of our
Union represents and through what perils it.
has passed, we may be excused for indulging
in sentiment over its beautiful folds. The
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin is credited with hav-
ing Said, on presenting a flag to the Bangor
(Ma) school: “Perhaps a little history of this
flag will not be out of place. First, consider
the beautiful red stripes, an emblem of valor;
the. white, an emblem of purity; the blue
field, the blue arch ofnheaven, and the stars
which bestud.,,it,'the "freest government on
earth.” ' ' ' ’ ‘
At the: North Cape.
At Tromsoe,,the sheltered capital of north-
ern Norway,..,our" steamship remained just
long enough to allo'w'us. to visit an interest-
ing encampment of Lapps and their reindeer
in the neighborhood. The company we vis-
ited had pitched their tents 'on the side of the
-mountain', and about a dozen or more'seemed
to live comfortably enough in 'a’. space we
might'portionoff for so many hens and chick-
ens—Temple Bar.
Railroad men employed by the Pennsylva-
nia company, like all others, are more or
less superstitious. Their superstition runs;
in numbers, and for years 1,313 has always ‘
been regarded as an unlucky number, no
matter in what particular it was used. Many
cars bearing these figures have been wrecked
at divers times, and when a locomotive was
constructed and numbered 1,813 there were
not a. few who predicted an unfortunate
career. , ' _
A rule, which physicians say is a good one,
to determine the normal weight of man is as
follows: A man should weigh justas many
kilograms as he measures centimetres in
height after deducting one metre. A man
who measures in height 1 metre 80 centimetres
(5 feet 11 inches) should weigh 80 kilograms,
or about 160 pounds. The rule is both in-
genious and approximately correct.
’ The daily average of visitors to the People’s
palace in London _is about 1,100, and at pres-
ent the number of books for their use does
not amount to 12,000. The Clerkenwell Free

request sdes that out of 47,000 volumes is'
,sued to readers over 37,000 volumes were

Pall Mall, the famous locality in London, is
said to be so called from the fact that in earlier
times it was an alley for' tennis playing, and
took its name from the name by which the
mallet was known—pen well, or pal] mall.
