THE NEW YORK FIRE.

The New York fire in Printing House
Square has once more illustrated the small
degree of intelligence that goes to the de.
signing of the huge blocks with which
modern business quarters are filed. Here
was building in which some five hundred
people worked all day, yet it was so con-
structed that fire starting in the base.

elevator shaft and the staircase, in such a
manner as to cut off all hope of escape
The danger which elevator shafts entail
upon buildings has been emphasized so fire.
quently by disastrous fires that it might be
thought architects would by this time have
devised some means of shutting off the
drought. But they go on building pre-.
cisely the same kind of ATTITUDES in all
large structures, and when fires occur they
are probably surprised at the results of
their own handiwork In the New York
fire something else than the stupidity of
architects was shown, however. We refer
to the imbecility of the public, as repre-
sented by the crowd that yelled to the peo-
pie in danger to Jump from fourth
and fifth story windows, down on the stone
pavement. One poor woman was actually
so bewildered by the mad cries of these
idiots that she did jump from
fourth-story window, and was of
course taken up dead. What the
crazy mob thought of this result of it's
advice must be left to the imagination but
we should think that many of those who
were present must have wished they had
been dumb. The same excited lunatics
were very clamorous to have an old gentle.
man jump sixty feet ON the chance of being
caught in tarpaulin which some energetic
but ignorant people were holding about
eighteen inches above the stones. Had
the old man obeyed their instructions there
can be no doubt that he, too, would have
been killed, for the impetus of his descent
would have much more than overcome the
resistance of the tarpaulin holders, and
when he struck the tarpaulin it would have
yielded quite enough TO let him down on
the pavement with fatal force. The fire.
men worked with characteristic bravery,
however, and by their agility and skill
succeeded in saving many persons who
must otherwise have persisted. The most
serious consideration is that there are hun.
dreds of business blocks exactly ike the

HOW THE GEAR TRAVELS.

Nihilism has compelled the Gar to re-
linquish many of the comforts and con.
veniences of modern civilization. It ap-
pears that notwithstanding the skill and
vigilance and numbers of the Russian
police, it is considered too dangerous for
him to travel by railway in proceeding to
his coronation. It has therefore been ar
ranged that he shall go by an ordinary
road, but even then it will not do to let
the people approach him, and in order to
keep them at safe distance it is thought
necessary to dig trenches along both sides
of the road. The trenches will keep his
subjects far enough from his imperial per-
son. but Nihilists can throw bombs even
over trenches, and therefore some other
barrier must be interposed between the
Emperor and his loving people. Troops
are consequently to line both sides of the
road all the way, and between the trenches

PARTISAN HOLIDAY SCENES.

The Paris correspondent of the RECORD.
witnessed in tine Partisan bazars and streets
at Christmas time, says:
One poor man, rather advanced in years
for his business, had succeeded in attract
ing the public attention by placing ON his
head peculiar fur cap and around his
shoulders bright red curtain his fingers
were completely covered with silver looking
rings, and on his face was stereotype
smile which never degenerated into the
least expression of displeasure or confusion
when his assertions were contradicted. He
sold the only genuine electric ring war
ranted to cure the migraine within few
seconds time, two rings for two sous, and
he distributed them in numbers among
the crowd to be tried. All waited in
patient silence for the expected effect, not
that they all had the migraine, but to
feel the electric current announced. In
the mean time the merchant agitated his
fifty rings in the sun light, so as to give
more importance to his words through
gesticulation, and to the assertion of the
gamin that ne felt nothing at all he an
swered with the same smile he greeted the
numerous purchasers who avowed they felt
the current and could scarcely wait to come
into possession of the magic ring On the
Place du Chatelet each year is to be seen
the same man, on an extremely elevated
estrada, dressed somewhat as the harlequin
of the fairy pantomimss, with, besides a
high golden crown, from which float high
into the air mass of gayly colored plumes.
Before large crowd constantly in attend
ance he cuts forms and portraits out of
paper by aid of saber. That is for the
amusement of the spectators, for he sells
razors, and owing either to his address and
wit or to his imposing costume, he disposes
of goodly number-and to bearded men.

and the troops, and rapid driving and a
large escort, it Is hoped that the Gar may
succeed in reaching his destination alive.
The precautions which it is deemed neces-
sary to take for his safety conclusiFely
show that the apprehension of Nihilism
has not by any means passed away. In
deed the Nihilists have quite recently pub
lished statement to the effect that Alex
ander will never be crowned, and that
therefore it is needless to go to any trouble
in preparing for that ceremony. OF course
this may be only an empty threat, but
then it may be perfectly serious menace,
and after what the Nihilists have already
done it will not do to put any confidence
in their passivity. No doubt what makes
the authorities so uneasy is that it is quite
impossible to know who are and are not
Nihilists. The very men who are chosen
to guard the Emperor's body with their
own may bring the dreaded bombs with
them. The very coachman who drives
him may be one of his deadly enemies.
Nay, it has already been whispered that
the Third Section, the great machinery for
the tracing out of conspiracies, is believed
to be honeynombed with them, and even
the chiefs of the department have not
escaped suspicion. In fact the Car
moves in SO extremely volcanic a world
that we should think il quite as safe as
any ether course for him to abandon all
precautions whatever. He could not take
any more risks than he does, or suffer from
any more alarms, and it is possible that if
he showed some confidence in the people
they might return the compliment by pre-.
serving him from his enemies. It is true
that another Romanoff more or less is of
very little account, but if he thinks it
worth while to live at all he might as well
live quietly until his time comes.

LAW IN THE EAST.

CHOW for instance when lived in Ohio
1 got dose of law that l will never forget.
1 was in partnership with man named
Butler, and one morning we found our
cashier missing with So, 600. He had
dragged the safe and put out. Well, l
started after him and caught him in chi
cago, where he was splurging around on
the money. / got him arrested and there
was an examination. Well, all the facts
were brought out and the defense moved
that the case be dismissed, as the prosecu.
ton did not make out a case In the name
of the firm, and that if there was firm
the copartnership had not been shown by
any evidence before the Court. To my as
constituent the Court said the plea was o.
K, and dismissed the case. Before could
realize what was up the thief had
walked off, Well, l followed him
to st. Louis, and there l tackled
him again. / sent for my part
ner and we made a complete case, going
for him in the name of the commonwealth
and Smith, Butler & Co. Well, the lawyer
for the defense claimed that the money
being taken from private drawer in the
safe was my money exclusively, and that
my partner had nothing to do with it;
that the case should be prosecuted by me
individually, and not by the firm.
The old 'bloke who sat on the
bench wiped his spectacles, grunted
round a while and dismissed the case.
Away goes the man again. Then got an
other hitch on him and tried to convict
him of theft, but the Court held that he
should have been charged with embezzle
ment. Some years after l tackled him
again, and they let him go. Statutes of
limitation, you see. Wen, l concluded to
give it up, and l did.

some colcrs. and the graceful curves
that outline the body. All this is seen
from study of the animal in a natural
condition.
Particularly will the reader observe
the graceful arch of the neck in the
beautiful horse. This curve of neck is
one of the chief beauties of this hand
some animal, and this feature Of attrac-
ton is entirely destroyed when the neck
is Strengthened by the over-check.
Nature abhOrs a straight line. Those
beautiful things of hers which we most
admire always adhere to the curve. Ex-
anime her works and see. The leaf, the
blossom, the tree, the waving grain,
forest, mountain, planet-all have curv-
ing outlines. There are no straight
lines. The same is true of all beautiful
animals. The human countenance when
wasted by disease, becoming thin, an
gular and full of straight lines, loses its
exterior beauty. When health comes
back and the face swells into graceful
form with increasing flesh, beauty re-
turns. In lower life those animals that
exhibit the greatest amount of curve,
accompanied by harmonious proportion,
are the most beautiful.
This idea of curved line is brought out
in the illustration below, which shows
the two methods of checking horses.
