PLATT, JR.-We clip the following from
the Washington Gazette:
A Story from Real Life az One Chdpter.-
Nearly thirty years ago good little, boy
whose mother had toldhlm not go swim
ming, was sitting in a carpenter shop drying
hsharwith shavings and other wise trying to
resume his normal appearance. This guile
less child had almost succeeded In placing
himself in such a condition that he could
boldly enter the garden gate and say; an 9TH
or. behold me just from schoolp' when, hor-
ror horrors the artisans sharp Ratchet slip
ped from his grasp, and in its rapid flight
did its terrible work. One side OF the nose
and half the big toe of the unsuspecting
youth were sliced off In an instant Midicai
aid was instantly summoned, and the sever
ed parts carefully replaced and bandaged.-
But time, which is equally good at assuag-
ing grief and likewise healing flesh wounds,
passed OH, the bandages were removed
when, terrible discovery 1t was found,
when too late, that the toe had been put up
on the nose and the nese upon the toe. The
youth grew to manhood, but with maturity
came his troubles. A slight attack OF the
govt manifested itself at both extremities, a
severe cold in the head caused the repaired
toe to manifest symptoms of a strong desire
to sneeze-in fact, the unfortunate man be-
came generally demorolized, and the brain
power, in futile efforts to sympathize with
the toe. struggled till it became located be-
tween both objective points. We are glad to
say that this extraordinary man was not dis
couraged by this unforeseen accident, but
went south, kept hotel at Petersburg, and
has lust been renominated for Congress from
the Second Virginia Congressional District.

How they Build In Paris.

Safety in O large city from small or
great fires must begin in the construction
of the buildings. 1t is to this point
that the ordinances of the cities of the
Old World are directed, and no one
thinks of violating them. Take as an ex-
ample the way building is done in Paris,
where one can reside for months and
scarcely hear all alarm Of fire, much less
see q confagration.
If the owner of the lot determines to
improve it, he makes his plans, or has
his architect, as here, make them for
him. He must then submit them, with
specifications, to the proper department
OF the Government. If the location of
fue, or any materials proposed to be
used, or there is in any deficit in
any part of the plan that would be like
ly to cause fire, an order is made to
change the plan or materials 30 as to in
sure the greatest possible safety. Then,
as the building progresses. a government
inspector visits it constantly, with spe-
cifcations in hand, and no "slighting"
on the part of owners or contractors is
tolerated. These regulations have been
in force for generations. Kings, Emper-
ors, and the republic alike enforce them.
Hence, when the commune held Paris
for weeks, nobody feared they would
burn it down. The little they did burn
they were obliged to saturatc with pc
troleum before they could effect their
purpose, and then the FIRE went out.
When fire occurs there, both owner
and tenant are held to strict account
ability for damages. They must show
that they are not directly or indirectly
responsible for it. Moreover, the owner
is liable to parties ON either side of him
if they are damaged by fire originating
on his premises. Hence each owner in
sures not only his own building, but the
one on each side Of him. This is no
great hardship, for the cost of insurance
where such care is exercised in the con-
struction of buildings is merely nomi-
nal sum.
There was probably more loss in Chi
cago Tuesday week than Paris has suf-
fered by fires (not started by the Com
mune or by mobs) in the present CEN
fury.
