The Fire In Boston.

The terrible destruction to property by the fire
in Boston ON Saturday and Sunday. and the suf'
fering and loss occasioned thereby have formed
the theme Of general conversation since, and the
expressions Of regret and sorrow are universal.
IL has only been about thirteen months since
the whole country was shocked by the great fire
in Chicago. The tremendous losses occasioned b.
which were so fully met and heroically sustained
by the insurance companies. that the thrifty and
sntsrprising people of the last named city were
strengthened in their courage and enabled to re-
build already most Of their houses, in some in
stances in style OF magnifcence greatly superior
to the structures that were burned.
But it will task the ability of the country more
severely now than ON that occasion Two such
fires within such a short time have never visited
that the heavy losses sustained by the insurance
companies vii, rum most Of them ~ the northern
cities.
It is true that Boston is immensely wealthy, md
1t may be more able - sustain such a los than
Chicago and, therefore, the sufc, ing and distress
may not be so grea., nor the shock so terrible as
we may now suppose. The imperfect md hur, ed
accounts may also have much exaggerated the e1-
tent and destructiveness Of the fire. But enough
known to fl the cor1tiy with alarm and fear
for the results that are to follow two such enor
nous conAagrations with so short period.
The loss by the Chicago fire was reported at two
hundred million dollars, but was found to be
sl9O.O0o.Ooo. The reports yesterday run the Eos-
ton fire up to three hundred millions, but later
dispatches put it at $9O.00O;000.

The Weed.

When Christopher Columbus discov-
cred the island of San Salvador in 1902,
he sent two Spaniards into the interior
to examine the country. They related,
on their return, that they had met many
of the inhabitants holding some herbs
in their hands, and inhaling the smoke.
when lighted. This little firebrand was
called Tobacco, word which has been
adopted all over Europe, and in Havana.
They still say, lorobar ua Tobacco, for smok-
ing cigar. Itwas to Sir Walter Raleigh
that we owe the introduction of this
favorite indulgence into England /;
whilst Jean Nicot, ambassador OF France
to Spain, brought it into his own coun-
try, it being already well-known in
Spain and Portugal. Catharine de-
Medici adopted the new plant, imagin-
ing it to he cure fer every i'll that
flesh is heir to, and in her honor it
became the Queens herb, the Medicean
herb, and the holy herb. The fashion
being thus introduced, the use of tobacco
extended itself by degrees, though not
without meeting with considerable op-
position. Amurath ". commanded
that those who took it should be beaten
in mortar; the Shah of Persia content
ed himself with cutting off the delin-
quents' noses Innocent VIII. condemn
ed them to eternal ruin and James
I. wrote a book against them full of
wise sayings. All was in vain tobacco
was TO conquer it's adversaries, triumph
over every obstacle, and become strange
kind of aliment, which the tyranny Of
habit was to render indispensable to a
great part of the population. Tobacco
is now consumed in every possible form ;
the makers try to invent new combina-
tions; in order to satisfy the passion of
certain amateurs who appreciate good
cigar as others do glass Of old wine.
Smoking has superseded the snufibox of
our forefathers it is allowed everywhere
in public gardens, clubs, cafes, and
most private houses perhaps, after a
time, it will be so at the theatre, as it
now is in Holland.-English paper.

If We Would.

If we would but check the speaker
When he spoils his peighbor's fame,
If we would but help the erring,
Ere we utter words Of blame;
If we would, how many might we
Turn from paths Of sin and shame.
All, the wrongs that might be righted
If we would but zee the way!
All, the pains that might be hghtened
Every hour aud every day,
If we would but hear the pleadings
Ofthe hearts that go astray.
Let us step outside the stronghold
Of our selishness and pride;
Let US lift our fainting brothers,
Let us strengthen ere we chide;
Let US, ere We blame the fallen,
Hold light to cheer and guide,
All, how blessed an, how blessed
Earth would be if we'd but try
Thus to aid and right the weaker,
Thus to check each brothers sigh;
Thus to talk..of duty's pathway
To our better life on high.
In each life, however lowly,
There are seeds of mighty good;
Still, We shrink from souls appealing
With timid Eif we could :"
But God who judgeth all things
Knows the truth is, "if we would"

Scenery Of Labrador.

Bleak and savage as are the shores Of
Labrador, yet the aspects ofnature there
are often picturesque and grand, and
sometimes strangely beautiful. The
great dark cliffs along the coast, beaten
and torn by the storms of centuries, rear
their giant forms, that have been sculp-
tured by tempests and moulded by the
hands of frost giants, and hewn into
their present shape by the laundering
blows of the Atlantic's billows. In the
summer evenings it is grand to see their
great shadows falling on the surface OF
the waves, as the sun is setting, and the
ceaseless music Of ocean is heard as it
laves their jagged sides. But grander
still is the sight when the grand Atlantic
is lashed into fury, and like the onset
of an invading host the watery battalions
charge up the lofty cliffs with desperate
fury, as if determined to carry the
fortress, and fling their spray over the
loftiest SUBMITS. Then, what can equal
the stern and awful beauty Of the ocean
when laden with ice-argosies f.; when the
huge foes are grinding against one an
other and dashing each other to pieces
and the stately ieebergs, with their fan
tastic shapes, their glittering pinnacles
and dazzling white towers, are sailing
slowly past, carrying in their bosom frag-
ments from the Arctic mountains to
help in the erection of new continent,
where now the ships are sailing over the
submarine banks of Newfoundland.

REMARKABLE TURKEY ADVENTURE.
The sloop Sarah took load of produce
near Sag Harbor, L, l., and sailed for
New Haven. During the afternoon she
struck on Sachem Head, about fifteen
miles east of New Haven, and shortly
after sank, the crew escaping. Included
in her assorted cargo was box contain
ing twelve live turkeys, which farmer
on the island had intrusted to the cap
tain of the sloop to be marketed at New
Haven. On the following day the farmer
who had shipped the turkeys twenty
four hours previous was somewhat sur
prised and almost dumb founded to find
the identical box of turkeys on the
beach near his house, together with a
hatcL and a fender belonging to the
sloop. The turkeys were all alive and
gobbling. He is still at loss to account
for the preservation Of the fowls during
their perilous sea voyage.

A Severe Gale.

The terrible storm in England appears
to have been felt over wider area than
any which are recorded since November,
1921, and to have been more severe than
any which have been experienced since
February, 1861. During the course OF
the last named, part of the Crystal Pal
ace was blown down and the steeple OF
Chichester Cathedral fell. The late gale
seems to have been marked by no casu-
alties of q character so striking as the
above, but the damage done throughout
the country must have been immense,
and it is to be feared that the record OF
wrecks in the Irish and English channels,
will prove to be long one. What IS
known in English annals as "the great
storm " occurred in November, 26-27,
1903, causing loss Of property in Lon
don alone, estimated at ten millions OF
dollars. Just seventy-two years ago, on
November 8, 1900, there also occurred a
storm which did immense damage
throughout the whole of England.

Horace Greeley as a Boy.

Faithfulness was the most striking
moral trait of the boy Horace Greeley,
says one of his biographers.
"Come," his brother would say some
times, when the father had set the boys
task and had gone from home, ''come,
Hod, let's 60 a-fshing.' "No," Horace
would reply, in his whining voice,
'1et's do Our stint first" "He was al
ways in school, though" says his brother,
"and is we hoed down the rows or
chopped at the wood-pile he was perpet-
ually talking about his lessons, asking
questio rs, and narrating what he read.'
When he fished, he fshed for .fsh, not
for sport. He could never be induced to
shoot anything. When he did accom-
pany a shooting party he would never
garry or discharge gun, and when the
game was found he would lie down and
stop his ears till the murder had been
done.
When his father was finally driven to
bankruptcy on the barren New Hamp-
shire soil, Horace was too young to un-
derstand the "justice" of the Sheriff's
visitation. The story is that he seized
a hatchet, ran to the neighboring field
and began furiously to cut down a fav-
orite pear-tree, saying, "They shall not
have that, any how" But his mother
called him off, and the pear-tree still
stands. Another story is that he went
to one of his mothers closets, and taking
as many of her dresses as he could grasp
in his arms, ran away with them into
the woods, hid them behind rock, and
then came back to the house for more.

A Fenian Prisoner.

Mr.. Reddin, one of the Fenians sem
fenced to five years imprisonment for
connection with the rescue of Kelly in
Manchester, has published in the Dublin
Express an account of his imprisonment,
which is horrible revelation OF brutali-
ty on the part of the prison officials who
had him in charge. Mr.. Reddin spent
the principal part Of his imprisonment
in Moorehousc Jail, where he was fire.
qusntly punished because it was physi-
cally impossible for him to accomplish
the work assigned to him. On one occa-
sion he was ordered to the parade
ground, and being too i'll to walk, he was
dragged first by two prisoners and after
wards by two warders, after which he
was thrust into the penal cell, where he
'was stripped naked and left for four
hours. While suffering from paralysis
the most cruel experiments were resorted
to under the preteuce of ascertalning
whether he was shamming. These in
cluded burning with hot irons, piercinE
his legs with needles, the application of
a galvanic battery to various parts of his
body, and the novel expedient Of throw-
ing him up in the air and permitting him
to fall en- his bed. Finally he was
placed in solitary cell, where he re-
NAMED until short time before his dis
charge. Other brutalities, too revolving
for description, were inflicted on the un.
fortunate man, who, at the expiration of
his sentence, left prison paralyzed and
completely broken down. Mr.. Reddin's
statements in regard to barbarous treat
ment he received are vouched for by
two witnesses, and his friends have
challenged the Government to institute
public and impartial inquiry into the
facts.

A WARNING FOR MERoHANTs.-A case
has been decided in Liverpool court,
which, the law bearing upon the case
being the same in this State as in En-
gland, should warn dealers in Injuries
against selling too freely Oh credit to
extravagant women. The wife of mer-
chant in moderate circumstances con-
tracted bill with hair-dresser, for hair
bleaching, false curls, complexion washes,
ETC., amounting to about one hundred
dollars. The husband may have noticed
the general effect of these beautifers. but
probably he ascribed it to nature. He
was undeceiyed, however, when the bill
was presented for payment which he re-
fused, He was sued, and upon the trial
of the case he swore that his wife had
no authority from him to buy the things
and that his financial condition would
not admit of such extravaganza. The
Judge decided that husband cannot be
compelled to pay for luxuries bought by
his wife, unless he is aware Of the pur-
chase at the time, or his means sufficient
to afford them.

A Kent usky Anecdote.

General Leslie Combs made a speech
at the raising o a clay pole in Paris,
KY, during the campaign of 1914. He
was so confident oi I this occasion, that he
promised to climb that tall pole back
ward, from the stal lchions at the bottom
to the raccoon cage on top, if the Ken
tucky statesman sh ould be defeated by
the unknown candida te from Tennessee
1t was rash promise and the memory
of his hearers afterwards exhibited a
very annoying tenscity. In his stump
exercises after that the enthusiastic and
sanguine General could never indulge in
extravagant promises or rose colored pre-
dictions without encountering flashes of
country wit that put l,im on the defen-
sive. He never got done explaining how
it was that he never climbed that pole
according to his promise, only because it
had been cut down and removed before
he could get there. Recently it trans
pired that two section of that same blue
ash pole were still stat ,ding as gate-posts
in Paris, and in order to stop the clash
of the country editors round about, the
general consented to appear on Thanks
giving Day and performed the long de-
ferred feat of climbing. Sure enough
when the day came he arrived on the
cars, and was welcomed to a sumptuous
breakfast, and he made good his pro-
mise, and made besides happy speech
from the top of the gate post. His
hair was as black, his eye as bright
when he did this as when he made the
speech that led to it in 1874. He was q
captain in the war of 1872, and is still so
youthful in spirit and appearance as to
be regarded with a sort of superstition
by the people of Kentucky, AS time
WI IS no wrinkles on his genial face
they begin to think he came over with
Ponce de Leon, and was the only one of
the party that found the fountain of
health.
