Mr.. Cakes, who, very fortunately, had left his
smoke, filing his room and almost choking him.
AS soon he could gain his breath he called up to
Mr. McArde, ana after calling the servants they at
once bent their steps towards the library with the
intention OF saving the choice selection OF Shak-
speare But they soon discovered that this was
impossible on account of the heat and smoke in the
room, thew having beaten o hasty retreat after
several attempts to enter. Mr.. Cakes then took a
rattle, and running into the street gave the ALARM
and soon fireman and policeman were at hand
and In q very little White the flames were extin-
gushed. The house Is in state Of great disorder,
and it will take weeks before the necessary repairs

DIAMOND FOUND.

Not long ago lady of this city wished
to rearrange the contents of her bureau,
and went to the place where she usually
deposited her keys to open the drawers.
She had two diamond rings of great val
We. These she always wrapped in tissue
paper, and deposited them with the keys
behind a picture in her room. On this
occasion she took her keys and diamonds,
ing out a quantity of papers, gathered
rings fall among them. She then called
the servant to bring her box to put the
papers in, and the girl returning with the
intelligence that she could not find box
she arose impatiently, told her to sweep up
the papers and put them in the fire, and
at the same time the rings fell with the
papers on the floor. The girl soon swept
everything up, and the papers were con-
signed tn the fire.
Toward evening, the lady, going out
for while, looked for the rings, when it
suddenly flashed upon her that they had
fallen among the papers and had been put
into the fire with them. Greatly alarmed,
she fastened to her husbands Office. He
at once proceeded to the house, ordered
the fire to be put out, and instituted q very
careful search among the ashes for missing
diamonds. They could not be found, and
the family sought the advice of detec-
i've. His advice was to have the servant
girl arrested at once. This was done in
the face Of her protestation OF innocence.
and she was celled without ceremony
She swore by all the saints that she had
not taken them, had nothing to confess,
etc.
The next day visit was paid to the in
generated girl, and she was told that her
theft was known, and that confession
might save her. She then said that she
had taken the rings and had hidden them
under plank in the bath room, which she
designated. Leaving her. the gentlemen
proceeded to examine the bath room,
took up the plank, and found-nothing.
Somewhat nettled at the diamond theft,
he visited her again, and she asserted that
she had put them there, and some one
must have carried them away ii they
were not to be found. Another search
was made with the assistance OF detec-
tives. The plank was taken up.
II guess the rats have carried them
off," said one OF the officers.
This announcement was greeted with 9
laugh. "Who ever heard of such c
thing?' said the lady.
''Have known it to be DONE" said the
first speaker, and running his arm dowr
next the wall. in the place from where
the plank had been taken. he said:
Here's rats nest
Almost at the same instant he drew
forth one Of the missing rings, the dia
mond flashing and glistening with its usu
al beauty. Another plunge of his arm
brought up the other ring, and they were
both restored to the wondering owner

hair is thickened, falling hair checked.
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruif, which is often so un-
cieanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
po' soil white cambria, and yet lasts
Gag on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
'1~tFe, and grateful perfume.
