The laaest FIRE trap horror was tn

The latest fire trap horror Was the
burning of the Ring theatre st Vien-
na, Austria, in which over nine hum
dred lives were lost. It had what
was supposed to be all the necessary
appliances for preventing sudden
fire, but rs usual in such cases, the
man whose duty it was to let down
the fire screen at the critical moment,
lost his presence Of mind and ran
away. 1t is now conceded that the
theatre was perfect fire trap. The
exits were through crooked passages
and the gas being turned of, escape
was impossible. Nearly one thousand

toward Scranton's woods.
Phin held the bride and Eben held
Phin's jacket, and they sat on folded
blanket. 1t wasn't quite so easy to stick
on as the boys had expected, and going
up the first steep hill Eben slipped of
over Dapples tail and fell in mud
puddle. But he climbed on by the help
of the nearest fence, and never cried.
Chestnuts were plenty in those woods,
and the boys were glad to hammer them
out of the prickly burs and fill their bags,
in spite of feeling stiff from their ride.
And when, as they were about going
home, they met another small boy and
bought his nuts with a leather sucker
and three cents Phin had in his pocket,
they felt very grand indeed.
Three miles of the homeward way
were passed, when stray dog, helping
to bring somebody's cows home, sprang
barking out of the bushes at Dapple's
nose.
Up went the old horses heels and off
went the boys, and then away trotted
Dapple toward home, leaving his riders
fat on their backs.
{" But the nuts are SAFE" said brave
little Eben, scrambling up, and cycling
the precious bag that had also come to
the ground.
"Safe and heavy" said Phin, Juggling
it up. eff we've got to walk and carry
this all the rest of the way, think we
don t buy that dog very cheap"
1t was hard work Both boys were
almost crying with fatigue when they
got home; but when supper and sleep
had cured their stiff limbs, and the
bushel of nuts was exchanged for the
dear little dog, you may be sure they did
not repent of their bargain.
You might call him Pluck" said Mr..
Sumner, who had heard of their toll to
earn him.
Eben fondled the puppys round head,
and answered:
81 think we'll call him Mats 2"
Andso they did Youths Companion.

A Bushel of Nuts

"Phin O, Phin" Little Eben Dixie
began saying that at the end of the lane,
though he must have known his brother
could not possibly hear him, and kept on
all the way until he reached the door
where Phin stood whiting. By that
lime Eben was so out of breath he could
only stand gazing.
Try again, boy, said Phih, humping
him on the back. suppose you have
something to say
go, Phinl" said Eben again, "Mr.
Sumner said he will give us one of his
little dogs if we pay him
How much?' asked Phin, without
excitement. I've got just seven cents. g"
q" Tisn money, it's nuts, said Eben.
ga bushel of chestnuts, for the dog.
Phin's eyes sparkled. He had long
wanted one Of the roly poly puppies that
tumbled and played about Mr.. Summers
handsome Folly But having no means
10 purchase one he had tried not to think
Stout it. Now he shut his knife briskly.
Come on, boy" he said eff bush
ell of chestnuts will do it, I'm on hand. "
However, chestnut trees were not plen-
ty near Phin's home, and week later he
lay or the hillside grumbling.
"That puppy will be grown-up dog
and gray-haired before we can get him.
It's no use, Eben."
The little brother looked sober; but
he did not mean to give up.
I'VE have good many nuts, now, he
said.
mot third enough, said Phin.
"Oyer the Scranton's woods there are
enough"
"Six miles away, muttered Phin.
"If Trudies grandma1l just let us ride
old Dapple bare-backed over there and
carry bag, we could doit. And maybe
she will. We helped Trudie pick black
berries, you know"
Eben, you're smart boyl" cried
Pbin. Come on" Perhaps Trudie's
grandma would not have let old Dapple
20 had not Trudie whispered more than
one "please" in her ear. But she did
consent. So the next day the old horse
was astonished to find four short legs
.astride his back, and to be trotted slowly

larger boys write it off into the dialect
for the benefit OF the smaller ones.
The most advanced boys prepare daily
reading lessons in the Scientific Maqa-
zine, much of which they do not as yet
comprehend, but, in time, when they
come to study the paper, they will under
stand it better. The Chtlds Paper, and
the Chinese Globe Magazine, read with
them, otherwise they would not read
them at all. The classics they study
half the day, all except the Yih King,
which book we do not allow taught in the
school at all.
The boys seem to have little or no
false pride about them, and in this re-
spect they have good example set them
by their teacher, who isfrom our Mission
School for Boys at Bangchow, and seems
to have no fear of work of any kind.
The boys painted their schoolroom them
selves, and removed all the rubbish from
their yard, making it quite smooth
croquet ground They bring the water
for their kitchen and do all Of the heavy
work there. They take turns in acting
as doorkeepers for the chapel at our front
door, every night and on the Sabbath,
and by their singing attract many more
to each service than would otherwise
come.
The sleeping-room, school-room, and
all other rooms used by the school, come
under the same roof with our own house,
and, as we live in Chinese building, the
boys can expect nothing foreign in the
arrangement Of the apartments except so
far as the laws of health demand.
We had the whole school take draw
ing lessons for while but the teacher
was worthless man, and we have found
no one as yet, to suit us, since his dis
missal. If there was any way to teach
them trade. while they were in these
mission schools it would certainly seem
a good plan, anything to rid them of the
e" rice eating" idea with which many
seem to grow up.

How to See a Seed Grow.

Many little folks wonder how seed
grows. Some boys and girls have taken
up the seed after planting it in the
ground, and thereby prevented it from
taking root.
We may, however, see the roots
shooting out from the hyacinth bulbs
that grow in glasses in our windows:
and in this way we may see other seeds
sprout and shoot.
A gentleman, to crafty his little sons,
took glass tumbler, around which he
tied bit of common lace, allowing the
lace to hang or drop down in the centre
of the glass 1l
He then put enough water in the glass
to cover the lower part of the lace, and
in this hollow he dropped two sweet
peas
The little boys were told to look at
them every day, and they would learn
what was going on under ground with
similar seeds.
Next morning the boys hurried from
the breakfast-room to look at the glass
with the peas in the south window.
They found that while they were
asleep, the brown skins had burst; and
a tiny white sprout soon grew large
enough to reach through the holes in
the lace, and on the top of the peas
two little green leaves were seen.
In time, the boys saw the white thread
like roots reach almost to the bottom of
the glass, while the green leaves grew
large, and gave way to stalk or stem.
In this way most seeds may be seen
to grow

Catamount Charley.

y
Yesterday the well-known hunter of
Pixies Peak, Catamount Charley, APP
peared in town riding his pibald mus
tang, Captain Kid. The personal APP
pearance of this famous hunter and trap
per is familiar to every resident of Colo
RADIO Springs. His tall, loosely-knit
figure, his long legs, his dark face, black
eyes, and flowing black beard, which
sweeps in sable cataract over his bosom,
are all well-known to our citizens. Cata-
mount Charley was dressed in his Sun
day clothes, which consisted Of yellow
buckskin shirt and buckskin trousers,
both trimmed with fringe of buckskin
cut into strips, cartridge belt filled
with the loaded shells of heavy repeat
ing rifle, which he carried in his hand, a
wide white sombrero on his head and
moccasins on his feet. Catamount Char
ley dismounted in front of Aiken &
Hunts museum, and leaving his mustang
unhitched, removed heavy bale of skins
from the crupper of the saddle, and
walked into the store. Mr.. Hunt was
the only one in the store at the time.
Il say, boss" remarked Charley
I've got some skins yere I'd like to sell
YOU Certainly" said Mr. Hunt, with
his usual politeness. II shall be glad to
look at them" "Yere," said Charley
"is mountain bison's hide, yere is
mountain lions hide, and yere are two
more lions hides. That fust lions skin
is the biggest ever see. It's feet
from tip to tip; the critter must have
Reighed 500 pounds. You see it was
this way. / was looking round for
game back of the Peak, when I'll at once
heard growlin and howlin', which
reminded me that the mountain lions
was not all dead yet. So I crawled
around pint of rock, and think |
didn't see three mountain lions havin a
fight with monstrous bison. | tell you,
it was big fight. The lions would
make leap, and the bison would back
up against root and take them on his
horns. l don't know how the fight
would have come out, but it was Just too
good picnic for me to let it pass, SO /
drawed bead on the fust lion as come
in range and pulled my old rifle off.
The surprisin' part of the affair was that
just as pulled one of the lions jumped in
between me and the one I shot at and
caught the ball just back of his ribs. 1t
passed clean through him, and bein'
turned little from its course, it cut the
throat of the second lion, and broke the
neck of the bison. They all dropped
in heap, and I was so tickled that l
incautiously jumped out from behind the
rock, when the third lion saw me"
Indeed" said Mr.. Hunt eyes"
said Charley, " the third lion he saw me,
and made jump in my direction, AS
I saw him comm I didn't have time to
take aim, but l brought my repeatin
rife up under my arm and took a fly
shot at him. Lucky for me- took him
in the breast, and he tumbled over
dead" Indeed" said Mr.. Hunt
Yes" said Charley, he tumbled over
dead and now what will you give me
for the four skins, three mountain lions,
and one bison?" We left Mr. Hunt en-
gagged in mercantile combat with Char
ley over the price of those slins-C Colo
