The French give a touch of art to
whatever they do. Even the drivers OF
drays, and carts, and trucks, about the
streets, are not content with "a plain,
matter-of-fact whip, as an English or
American laborer would be, but it must
be tinely-lnodelled stalk, with long.
tapering lash tipped with the best
silk snapper. Always the inevitable
snapper. doubt If there is II whip in
Paris without snapper. Here is where
the fine art, the rhetoric of driving,
comes in. This converts vulgar, prosy
"gad " into delicate instrument, to lie
welded with pride and skill, and never
to be literally applied to the backs of
the animals, but to be launched to the
right and left into the air with pro
fessioual flourish and sharp. ringing

PREPARING FOR Ir.-Among the gen.
eral exercises in New York CITY public
schools there is now introduced what
may be called the fire-escape drill. One
principal of grammar school has
drilled her scholars to rise atthe sound
OF her bell, to stand, feet firmly plant
ed, until n second stroke, upon which
signal they rush onthe "double-ouick''
to the main staircase and thence safely
into the street. All keep step, nobody
is crushed, and the school-room is
speedily emptied. 1t may be consid-
cred strange that a necessity for anv
such drill exists; but ono cannot re-
strain his admiration of the system
which trains up children to run from fire
in good order, whatever may be its fail
ings in other respects.

The NOrthncet Disaster.

| The story Of the loss of the emiprant
ship NorthGeet, which has already been
told, surpasses in horror that of any
recent marine disaster. The ship, with
Az passengers, was lying at anchor off
Dnngcness, i'll the British Channel, on
Wednesday night, when she was run
down by an unknown steamer, which.
without waiting to ascertain the injury
she hadintlicted, kept on her way. The
passengers were panic stricken, and, in
the attempt to restore order, it is re-
ported that the officers fred into them.
The ship sunk i'll a few moments after
the collision, and 32l persons were
drowned. The collision could only
have been the result of gross careless
ness on the part of the people of the
steamer, unless it took place in heavy
fog. No possible excuse, however. can
be offered for the inhuman captain who
kept his vessel on her course, Needless
OF the cries of the doomed emigrants.
The London Board of Trade has offered
reward of u hundred pounds for the
identification of the steamer, which is
supposed to be either a Spanish or a
Portuguese vessel 1t is earnestly to
be hoped that her name will be ascer
tanned, and her captain punished to the
utmost extent that the law will permit

Falling Down the Shaft of a Mine,

Christmas Eve at Julian Mines, San
Diego, furnished one of the most re-
markable incidents in all the annals of
curious casualties. Charley Fox is one
of the owners of the San Diego Ledge.
Their shaft is sunk to the depth of l75
feet. On the afternoon of the oath of
December he took his place in the
bucket to go down to the lower level.
1t had been raining freely during tha
day The break on the whim, which
raises and lowers the bucket in mines
not S pplied with steam power, was
held in its place by rope. This had
become very wet, and, of course, re-
laxed its tension. Fox had hardly
taken his place in the bucket before he
went careering like lightning down the
sheer drop of 175 feet. The break was
absolutely useless, and down, down
hurtled bucket and man, humping now
against one side and now against the
other, until finally both struck the two
inch planking which covered the well.
The bucket WAS smashed to pieces, and
poor Charley plunged through the two
inch planking, as though it had been
pasteboard, into the well. This was six
or eight feet deep. He sank to the bot
tom, and, when he rose, was hauled out
by his comrades who were working in
the level. The mystery of the buiiness
is that, although Fox was pretty thor
oughly Jared and bruised, a broken
ankle was the only serious injury re-
sulting from the fall.

T0bacco IL n Filthy Weeds

At the nearest recollection, says al
exchange, the internal revenue report
OF last year showed that the United
States consumed about ten million CT
CARS during that time. Many smokers
prefer the pipe to tho cigar, and prob
ably as much tobacco is consumed i'll
that way as in cigars. However out OF
the way numerically the previous state
mcnt may be, it is true that there are
in this country 1924 manufacturers of
cigars, and they employ 7l,i9l men.
Wherever tobacco can be raised the far
mer finds it one of the most profitable
crops, aud consequently il very apt to
cultivote it. Its use increases from year
to year in greater ratio than the pop
ulation. People differ so widely MS to
its effects that it is only just, whenever
candid statement is made of any test,
to give it publicity. Recently, at the
Polytechnic School in Paris, one of the
professors inquired into the habits of
The one hundred and sixty students
there, and then made n comparison .e-
tween their devotions to study and to
smoke. He found that one hundred
and two were smokers and iifty-eight
never used, or said they never used, the
noxious weed. He then found that in
each grade of the school the students
who did not smoke outranked those
who did smoke, aud that the scholar
ship OF the smokers steadily deterior-
ated as the smoking continued On |
account of several Trustworthy reports
of such nature the Minister of Public |
instruction in France ISSUED circular
to the directors of colleges and schools |
forbidding tobacco 10 students rs inju-
rious to physical and intellectual devel |
opment. But writer in a Paris med |
ical journal complains that the use of
tobacco will not probably cease entirely
so long as Sunday schools furnish meer-
schaum pipes as prizes to the best
scholars.

A FIXED FACT IN Pharmacy. Con
sidcring the multitude OF diseases, it
is amazing that we live in view of the
countless remedies for them, it is won
derful that We die. Unfortunately,
however, all the diseases are realities,
whereas most of the remedies are hltBa-
bugs. One exception TO the latter rule
demands the recognition and approval
of the press. We refer TO Pr. JOSEPH
WALKERS VINEGAR BrrrERs. OF the
doctor himself, we know nothing but
of his medicine we can speak from OBJ
servation, for it seems to have found its
way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in
this country, as family remedy, than
any other preparation, although it has
not vet been before the world three
years. Wherever we go we hear of it.
and whenever we hear OF it the COM
ments on its efficacy are enthusiastic.
We have questioned sufferers from liver
complaint, remittent fever fever and
ague, chronic headache, vertigo irregu-
larities of the bowels, indigestion, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, govt, kidney dis
eases, and affections of the lungs, as to
its effects, and the uniform answer has
been, "N is doing me gOOd" Believing
that what everybody says must be true,
we have no hesitation in admitting that

from General Spinner, United States
Treasurer, who In n recent letter says
III doubt whether the receiving Of this
money without consideration and with
out legal authority or warrant Of law
will place 1t beyond the reach Of the
parties to whom it legally belongs. l
think 1t could be reclaimed any time
hereafter In several ways by the de-
positor or his heirs at law. 1t Is pos
sible you might yourself, by your last
will and testament, leave 1t to the
Treasury, by stating as a consideration
the love and affection you bore to your
native land" From which 1t appears
that even when covered into the U. 8.
Treasury, It is liable to return and
haunt the unhappy Congressman or
his heirs. The doctrine seems to DO
that having been returned to the Gov
eminent as a gratuity, or without con-
s~ideration, It Is liable to be reclaimed
at any time. Morality and honesty
are not such considerations In this
view, as would support a donation to
tho U. s. Treasury against the claims
Of heirs. Which Is sad, to say the
least.

knife, aud under II OF his arms an
other pistol. When lie had approach

housc another Chlnaman named All

fired at him, the ball ttrlking within
two or three yards Of Ah Cues feet.
All Cue stood his ground aud fired five
shots ut his opponent, none OF them,
however. taking effect. Just then OF.
ficer McManus laid hands on him, aud
he was prevented from using the other
pistol and the knife. The whole at
fair did not take more than n minute,
and within three minutes after tho
first shot the fiery All Cue was safe
within the prison walls. All Fan.
however, had fled to some place un.
known, and no one saw him more.
Inc cause Of the difficulty was, rs
near ~ we could learn, rs follows 1:
All Fan had been a cook la n restau-
rant. BY some means he lost Ills
place, and All Cue was engaged to flll
1t. In consequence Of this a quarrel
occurred between tho parties In China
