What O Hoax Did.

The Chicago Times lately indulged in
n sensational hoax by getting up column
with glaring head lines, giving de-
tailed account of the destruction of a
theater in that city to which it added q
list of the "burned alive" The pro-
posed object of the hoax was to show
what would result were one of the
theaters in that city really to catch fire.
This was one of the results A gentle
man just out of Chicago, left his home
the night before, for the purpose of at
tending this theater with friend who
was visiting him. They were to stay in
the city over night. The next morning
Mt breakfast, the wife of this gentleman
took up the morning paper, and was
greeted by the display headlines of this
Infamous hoax. In horror she turned to
the list of "killed," and found the name
of her husband. She shrieked and fell
to the floor. The mans mother, who
lived with him, Immediately seized the
paper to find the cause of her daughter
in-law's distress. On finding it, she fell
to the floor beside her, and expired
The wife became raving maniac. Sure
ly, there must be some form of retribu-
tive justice that will reach the causes of
calamities such as these.

The POrt.au.Prince Fire.

One-third of the entire city of Port
au-Prince was destroyed by the late fire;
four hundred houses have been con-
sumed, and the loss to property is esti.
mated at $2,000,OOO. The fire origi-
mated near the "North Gate" spread in
an easterly direction to the Croix des
Bossales, and extended to the quay and
the vicinity of Bel Air, where it was
stopped. The property was chiefly
owned by. foreign residents, composed
of Englishmen, Hollandcrs, Germans,
Frenchmen, and a few Americans, and
was insured in companies in European
cities, mostly in Amsterdam, Holland,
where the loss falls very heavily. No
American companies lost anything by the
fire. The portion of the city which was
destroyed was composed of very old
houses, some of which were built at the
time of the first settlement, three hun
dred years ago, and were, for the most
part, low frame buildings of little in
trinsic value, occupied in the lower part
rs stores and above as dwellings,. The
entire northern portion of the city was
swept by the flames and destroyed.

Saved by q Spider.

LILO lOllOWluR SlDRuldT eSCapS from
death of Noah Hopkins is related by his
descendants, who vouch for the accuracy
of the incident: Mr.. Hopkins, over
one hundred years ago, resided in
Dutches county, n. Y. After disposing
of his property he joined the Susque
hanna Company and went to live in the
far,famed Wyoming valley, Pa. The
Indians from the lakes became very
troublesome and continued to roam in
bands through the white settlements,
ravaging their stocks and crops. One
night sudden and unexpected at
tack was made upon the settlement by a
large band of infuriated savages, and
the settlers fed for their lives into the
woods and mountains. The Indians pur-
sued them-their war-whoops falling
upon the ears of the defenseless whites
like the cries of wild beasts in search of
prey. After roaming about in the dark
ness for some hours Mr.. Hopkins STUN
blcd over q large log that lay across his
pathway, and finding it hollow crept into
it. Here he laid for several hours. The
sun had arisen and he was debating
whether he had better continue his
march over the mountains, when he
heard the footsteps of his pursuers near
by and their subdued but animated con-
versation. He felt that his doom was
sealed and the cold sweat oozed from his
body and brow. Weary with their long
search, the Indians sat down on the very
log in which MIR. Hopkins was concealed,
while their eyes peered hither and
thither, hoping to catch sight of
some poor fugitive. Mr.. Hopkins heard
the bullets rattle in their pouches, and
gathered from their broken savage
tongue, intermixed with English words,
the intelligence that some of his friends
and neighbors had been captured and
slain. 1t was moment of fearful
anxiety. Some of the Indians walked
around to the end of the log, and seeing
that it was hollow stopped down and
looked in. Their companions were call
ed and they all gathered around like
hounds with their game holed, as if
ready to shoot the moment it emerged.
The Indians seemed to be holding
brief consultation. Mr.. Hopkins was
Just on the point of surrendering him
self and begging for mercy on the
ground of his many kind acts in former
times to the Indians, when his attention
was arrested by'a large spider, which
was busily engaged weaving large and
beautiful web right over the entrance.
He threw his threads from side to side
with great rapidity, 80 that when the
Indians came to look in they, too,
seemed to notice this aerial work, and
supposed, OF course, no one could be
concealed within. Soon after they dis
appeared. After remaining in this
cramped retreat as long as he could en-
dure he came out and wandered for many
days in the wilderness, suhsisting on
nothing but the carcass of putrid tur-
key which he found dead. His clothing
torn into shreds, his body lacerated, he
came once more upon the dwellings of
white men.

Tell Your Wife.

A correspondent of the Ledger, who
says he is getting into serious pecuniary
difficulties, wants to know whether it
would be best to tell his wife about it Mt
once, or to hide your troubles from her
until he weathers the stolm, or finally
goes under, as the case may be.
Tell your wife, of course, and tell her
at once. The effort which man makes
to keep his troubles from his wife under
such circumstances, is heavy addition
to his burdens. Any wife, worthy of
the name, would be drawn closer to her
husband by his confiding his troubles
to her. And what source of strength
her sympathy would be to him And
not only her sympathy, but her advice
her mental and moral help. For wife's
intellect, when aroused by sympathy for
her husband, whose fortunes are i'm
periled, is intuitional and prophetic.
She sees straight into the very heart of
complications which her husbands
harassed mind cannot penetrate. His
own mind is warmed and quickened and
strengthened by communion with hers.
When husband confides in and coun-
sells with his wife in his days of trouble,
she is then in very truth what God made
her to be, help meet for him."

How to Break off Bad Habits.

Understand the reasons why the habit
is injurious. Study the subject until
there is no lingering doubt in your
mind. Avoid the places, the persons
and the thoughts that lead to the temp
tation. Frequent the places, associate
with the persons, indulge in the thoughts
that lead away from temptation. Keep
busy; idleness is the strength of bad
habits. Do not give up the struggle
when You have broken your resolution
once, twice-a thousand times. That
only shows how much need there is for
you to strive. When you have broken
your resolutions just think the matter
over, and endeaver to understand why it
is you failed, so that you may be on your
guard against recurrence of the same
circumstances. Do not think it is an
easy thing that you have undertaken.
1t is folly to expect to break off bad
habit in day which may have been
gathering long years

An Indian Story.

A gentleman of Sioux City, who is
just back from a trip up the river, gives
the particulars of rather extraordinary
case of experience in the last awful storm.
An Indian and his squaw were caught
out in the storm while journeying from
Fort Randall to the Fort Thompson
agency, and becoming bewildered, took
refuge in small ravine. They wrapped
their blankets about them and sat down
under the bank. The snow soon covered
them, but the Indian kept hole
through the rapidly forming drift with
his gun, which he would poke up occa-
sionally. They remained there ali night,
and the drift became Sc high i'll the
meantime that he was obliged to splice
the ramrod to the end of his rifle in order
to reach to the top and keep up ventila-
tion. During their cheerless imprison-
ment the squaw was delivered of child
and it was christened "Snow Drift"
