prevented from extending to the buildings ad-
Joining. AS soon as the news of the accident had

A Hero.
Joseph Mcclure, an employe of the factory,
acted with great herOsm. He dragged Miss
Nellie Horton and Mrs. Long down two flights
OF stairs through the stitiing smoke and fire.
At the bottom of the stairs Miss Horton fell Suf-
located by smoke. Selling Mrs. Long in his
arms he rushed through sheet Of flame to the
front OF the building and then attempted to re-
turn for Miss Horton, but the fire was so fierce
by this time that he could not reach her. She
was, however, rescued from the rear Of the fac
tory.

The Last New York Game.

At Broadway and Duane street
recently, the butt of a cigar lay on
the sidewalk and thread of purple
smoke went mp from its ashes. A
we'll dressed N n, wearing a silk hat
that showed evidences Oi recent hard
usage, was cycling the half consumed
cigar, and was evidently making up
his mind to recover it. He had
every appearance of drunken nan.
Keeping his eye un the stub, he
Strengthened himself up, pulled his
hat down over his eyes, and stopped
to reach the cigar, smiling coInplac-
emily as he extended his hand toward
the butt. Ia the meantime many
persons had halted, and when the
wind caused the cigar 10 roll away
just as he was putting his fingers OH
it, the knot of observers laughed.
TIE man again Strengthened up, and
he frOwned Indignantly on those
who were around him. He looked
at the staff on the tower Of the
Western Union building and up and
down Broadway, as though in doubt
whether he would again attempt to
recover the cigar. Then he pulled
his hat over his eyes once more, and
renewed his effort. He fell on his
knees, pitched over on his face, arose
to his knees again, and poised his
hand over the coveted butt. The
knot ofobservcrS had been increased
tenfo!d, and bets were offered that
the cigar would again elude him.
Suddenly the interest of the thrUng
was turned in another direction. 4
man shouted ''Stop thief! l've lost
my watch!' and a woman cried out
that her pocket hook Was missing
About this time the man WHO hat
been an object of SO much Interest
was also missing.
"Go on, CO." said a policeman +,
the crowd; ''that's the latest trick.

Mrs. Abby Goold Woolson has
bsen giving Boston some common
sense notions about the 'Traiuing
that Girls need" In paper read
before the Moral Education Society.
she pronounced i'll health luxury
that enormously increased the cost
of living. She advised mothers TO
keep their girls from their own fate,
and she asserted that girls should be
made to lead a quiet life on simple
diet until they are fully grown, that
they should exercise freely in the
open air, that housework should be
done by them in carefully ventilated
rooms, that their dress should be
radically changed so that no longer
shall their vital organs be compress
ed or their hips weighed down with
mass of cloth that no man would
willingly carry. Compliance, with
these rules, she believed, would
give to the world a nobler, healthier
race of women. The object of
girls mental training should be, she
said, to enable her to reason, not to
fill her brain with superficial ideas.
The processes applied to women's
minds that are now devoted to the
education of men, she considered
would bring about the same result.
She advised that girls pursue with
thOroughness the disciplinary stud
les. Next to this she would place
the perceptive faculties, in which
woman is now much more proficient
than man. Woman should also be
more or less intimately acquainted
with physiology, natural philosophy,
the laws of mechanics, chemistry,
political economy, the characteristics
of republican form of government,
rhetoric and natural sciences, all of
which are far more important to the
girl than the modern languages.
First of all parental duties, Mrs.
WoolsOn placed that of fitting child
reD, and especially girls, to earn an
honorable living, no matter how
wealthy their family may be, since
no one is beyond the reach of posi-
bic poverty.
