Fire in the Sixth District.
less $4,000.

About IL O'Clock, Wednesday night, fire
was discovered in an unoccupied one-story
frame house on Tchoupitoulas street, between
Gen. Taylor and Austerli.z, Sixth District
owned by Mr.. Leon Vignes, which was totally
destroyed. The house was insured in the
Merchants Mutual Insurance Company for
$1,000. The wind was blowing very hard at
tho time, and although the fire department
we're promptly on the ground and COM
-nenced work, they were unable to check the
devouring element.
The flames spread rapidly to the adjoining
double one-story frame cottage, owned by Mr..
j. Courte and occupied BY T. Bernard Pinero
and Mr.. Esworth, which was entirely con-
sumed. This cottage was insured, but in
what company and for what amount could no,
be learned.
The fire then communicated to the adioin-
ing one-story frame house owned and occu.
pied by Mr.. B. Mouledous, which was ex.
tinguished, with slight damage. Total loss
about $4,000. The fire was the work of an
insendisry.
Mr.. FL. p. Phillips, Chief Engineer Of the |
Sixth District Fire Department, fearing a
disastrous conf agration sounded an alarm for |
Fire Engines Nos. % aud % of the Fourth |
District, which was promptly responded to |
by those companies, who did yeoman SER
vice in helping to extinauish the flames
which threatened at one time to destroy the
entire square.

A Curious Case of Drowning

One of those inscrutable pr0vi-
dences we are called upon to wit
ness and experience in this world,
says the Whitewater Mich Reg
lister, occurred In Hebron last
week, the details of which were
terribly sad. A blind lady, Mrs.
Taylor, and a child,a bright, beau
tiful boy Of 8 years, had just ar
rived on visit to her sister, Mrs.
Reynolds. Last Friday afternoon
about A O'Clock, the little boy, with
the other children, were in the or
chard, west Of the house. By some
means becoming separated from
his companions, the little fellow
started for the house alone, appar-
emily designing to wade through
a pond of muddy water which lay
directly between him and the
house. His feet probably stuck
fast in the mud, and he, falling for
ward, was drow0ed in the water
scarcely foot deep. He was
missed, and search made, which
failed to give lightu the affair.
The neighbors were summoned,
cornfields and woods were search
ed vigorously. All night did they
persist in their labor of love, but
with returning light of morning
came no cheer to the blind moth
er's heart. The child could not
be found. About sunrise those
faithful neighbors gathered to con-
fer upon what course further to
pursue: 1t was determined to
search the pond and very soon was
the inanimate body found, in a
sitting posture, face under water,
but the back of the head and
shoulders out. All the light and
Joy of the poor mother were gone.
Fearful indeed were the paroxysms
of her grief, and faithfully did tine
kind-hearted ladies and friends
undeavor to soothe and console
her,

Tender COurtship.

In account of the marriage cere-
monies of the Esquimaux given by
DR.. Hayes, he says: The match
is made by the parents of the cou-
pie. The bridegroom must go out
and capture a polar bear as an evil
dence Of manly courage and
strength. Then he is told he can
marry if SO inclined. He sneaks
behind the door of his inamorata,
and when she come out he pounces
upon her and undertakes to bear
her away to his dog sledge. She
screams, bites, kicks and breaks
away from him. He chases her,
and the old women of the settle
ment come out with frozen strips
of seal-skin and give her a thwack
with it. After running the gaunt-
let of these old women, she falls
down exhausted and surrenders.-
The bridegroom then lashes her to
his sledge, and whipping up his
dogs they fly over the frozen snow
and the wedding is consummated.

Household HELPS.

CORN OYsTERs.-Grate six ears
sweet corn; add half pint Of rich
milk, scant teaspoonful Of pep
per, half as much of salt, and half
teacup of flour. Mix well to-
gether and fry in hot butter.
FRIED BREAD. Here is a very
nice side dish, and an econom ical
way of using dry slices of Bakers
bread: Dip each slice quickly in
water if very dry; then make a
batter from one egg, two or three
tablespoonful Of flour, and milk
enough to make a thin batter; fry
on a griddle or frying pan; hav
good sweet lard and heated yer e
hot, before laying in the bread. 1t
is delightful.
ENGLISH STEw.-Cut cold meat
of any kind into thin slices. Sprin-
kle salt, pepper and flour over
them; also spread over the meat
any kind Of pickle, chopped or
sliced. Pour over all half a tea
cup of water, and 4 little of the
vinegar from the pickles, with
spoonfuIior two of catsup, and some
of the gravy left from the meat
Stir all together, and bake for one
hour.

Hints as to Beauty.

There il nothing more unfavor-
able to female beauty than late
hours. Wsmen who, either from
necessity or choice, spend mest of
the day in bed, and the night in
work of dissipation, have always
a pale, faded complexion and dark
trimmed wearied eyes. Too much
sleep is almost as hurtful as too
little, and is sure to give the per-
son unwholesome fat. Diet, also,
has marked influence upon per-
sonal beauty. A gross and excess
sive indulgence in eating and
drinking 'is fatal to the female
charms, especially when there is
great tendency to "making flesh"
Regularity of time in the daily re-
past and good cooking are the best
means of securing not only good
health, but good looks. The ap-
petite should never be wasted
during the intervals between
meals on pastry, confectionery, or
any other ticker of the appetite,
which gratifies the taste, but does
not support the system. Exercise
is, of course, essential to female
beauty. 1t aaimates the whele
physical life, quickens the circula-
ton of the blood, heightens the
color, develops the growth, and
perfects the form of each limb and
the entire body. 1t also gives
beauty and grace to each move

To Spite John.

A physician was recently called
to attend an aged woman. He
found her living in the most squat
lid poverty and dirt. 1t appears
that her only resource was an an
nuity of about seventy-fve dol
lars, which her son John was le-
gally bound to pay her. She was
very ill, and her doctor had no
hope of recovery. But after few
days attendance, he one morning
found marked improvement in
her condition.
"Well, granny" said he, "you
are a great deal better this morn
ing"
"Oh, be II" said she, with great
animation, and will get well,
docther ?"
Eyes, / am quite sure of it"
"Oh, docther, said she, starting
up and thrusting her hands under
the bundle of rags which consti-
tuted her pillow, and drawing it
out with energy, "lf l had a bag
of gold here under me pilly, I'd
give yees the hull of it for that
same"
Then laying herself back ex-
hausted she added:
81 don't care anything about
living, but / should like to disap-
point john"

Strong Drink.

The use ofstrong tea-a common
habit with some women-is great
injury to health. 1t stimulates the
nervous system without providing
nourishment. Any portion of the
human body continuously excited
will speedily wear out. I'm so
nervous is an expression often
heard, and the starts and screams
which trifling incidents occasion
in a company of ladies, proves the
assertion to be true. The "ner-
vous would do we'll to study the
cure of their nerves more and talk
about them less.

Shooting Vicious Horses.

A horse, no matter how vicious
and obstinate he may be when at
tempts are made to shoe him, can
be rendered quiet and manageable
by making him inspire during the
operation a few grains of the eth
ereal oil of parsley dropped on a
handkerchief. A large number of
trials of this substance have been
made with the most troublesome
and violent animals, and in every
case with perfect success.

THE HAUNTED MAN.

In the spring of 1912 1 chanced to be
in Messina, a seaport of Sicily; and
while there l was invited to visit the
extensive vintage of D-l& NO.
Their location was in a pleasant valley
some three miles back from the city.
and beneath portion of their grounds
were extended large wine vault, en-
bracing an area of two acres. After
accompanying MO, the junior
partner, through the long vine arbors
and orange groves, we descended to
the vault, and after passing nearly half
the length of one of the pipe tiers, we
came to desk where a man was writ
ing.
There is one os your own country
men," said NO, ''and be will &C
company you through the vaults"
Nv conductor called to the man, who
quickly dropping his pen, stepped
down from the stool and came for
ward. He was employed as clerk in
the exporting department, for the pur-
pose of filling up bills. invoices, etc. ;

a man. whispered MO, 'but he
is, Notwithstanding good fellow"
H, for so my companion had call
ed him, was tall, well-made man, ap-
pareptly on the better side of forty,
and pleasant, intelligent look. His
hair, which was quite luxurious, was
almost white, and about his counte-
nance there were evident marks of suf-
fering. His eyes, when he first gazed
