A Boy Burned to Death

SAN Francisco, Jan. 10.-A San Buena-
ventura dispatch says: Burton Hummet,
a lad Of 8 years, poured coal oil from a can
into the stove. The can exploded, envel-
oplng the boy in burning oil. His mother
ran 10 his rescue, and both rushed into
the street. He was a pillar CT fire. A
man enveloped the lads head in a barley
sack, but it burned up instantly. A
blanket was brought, but the flames could
not be e1tinguished. He WAS then placed
in q sink and the hydrant turned on him,
which finally extinguished the burning
rags. His entire body was burned over
and the flames inhaled. He only lived a
few hours. The mother was terribly
burned from the waist down. The house,
with Its contents, was consumed.

a WASHER CRUSHED.

Among the passengers in parlor cal
on the Lake Shore road the other day
says the Detroit Free Press, was hand
some woman, whose husband shared the
seat with her and who would have been
picked out as a quiet, sedate, absent
minded man. The seat opposite was oc-
cupicd by tiashily- dressed young man,
with 4 ady-killing twist to his moustache,
and he was considerably surprised when
the husband handed him daily paper,
with the remark:
Have a glance at the news. Plenty
of excitement around the country, I
observe"
The young man was engaged with the
paper half an hour, and then the husband
offered him popular magazine. This
entertained him for an honr, and he had
scarcely closed the book when the good
man reached over with:
Have cigar. These are prime Ha-
vanas, and | know you will enjoy one"
The young man accepted with thanks,
and naturally made his way to the smok-
ing-car, where he put in nearly another
hour, but without the Others company
When he returned he was greeted with ::
"Perhaps you'd like to look at the la
test novel? Very entertaining, | assure
YOU"
He read until weary, and upon being
offered another cigar, replied that he was
to leave the train at the next station, and
added:
81 want to thank You again for your
many courteses'
"Oh, don't mention it,
"Never?"
"Don't know my name?"
"No"
"Then, tell me why you were 80 very
courteous to an entire stranger?"
"Young man, | will explain. In times
past, when a oafer sat and stared at my
wife as a steady job, got up at the end
of an hour and broke his neck. This
made me much trouble and expense, and
| changed my programme. / now carry
books and cigars to bribe them. Had
You been going one hundred miles fur
ther, should have offered you drink Of
brandy, new puzzle, two more dailies
and another cigar, and my wife would
have secured quiet rest"
"Sir, | -"
"Oh, it's all right-all right. 1t was
cheaper than throwing you ont Of the
window, and hope you'll get up to the no
tel safely. Good day, sir-good day-glad
to have met you!"
And that young man with the lady
killing moustache and crockery-colored
eyes, and hair parted on an even keel,
picked up his grip and walked out with
out being certain whether he had been
mashed in a collision or pulverized under
land roller

STOP BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

Success depends as much on not doing
as doing; in other words, Stop before
you begin" has saved many boy from
ruin.
When quite young lad | came very
near losing my own life and that of my
mother by the horse | was driving run
ming violently down steep hill and over
a dilapidated bridge at its foot.
AS the boards of the old bridge flew
up behind us, it seemed almost miraculous
that we were not precipitated into the
stream beneath and drowned. Arriving
at home and relating my narrow escape
to my father, he sternly said to me, can
other time hold in your horse before he
starts"
How many young men would have
been saved if early in life they had said,
when invited to take the first step in
wrong doing, "No, thank YOU"
If John, at that time clerk in the
store, had only said to one of the older
clerks, when invited to spend the evening
in drinking saloon, No, l thank you,"
he would not to-day be the inmate of an
inebriate asylum.
If James, clerk in another store, when
lnNltcU W cpCHu HIS HCAC CdDOdtI Ou d
steamboat excursion, had said, "No, |
thank you," he would to-day have been,
perhaps, an honored member in the
church instead of occupying cell in the
State prison.
Had William, when at school, said,
when his comrade suggested to him that
he write his own excuse for absence from
school, and sign his fathers name, "No,
l thank you, will not add lying to
wrong-doing," he would not to-day be
serving out term Of ten years imprison-
ment for having committed forgery.
In my long and large experience as an
educator of boys and young men, l have
noticed this, that in resisting the devil in
whatever form he may suggest wrong-do-
/ ing to us is one sure means of success in
life. Tampering with evil is always dan
gerous.
"Avoid the beginning of evil,'' is an
excellent motto for every boy starting
out in life.
O how many young men have endeav
ored, when half way down the bill Of
wrong-doing, to stop, but have not been
able. Their own passions, appetites

a DOMESTIC SKETCH.

After having been married some weeks
il came into the head Of young husband
on" sunday when he had but little to Oc
cupy his mind to suggest to his wife that
they should plainly and honestly state the
faults that each had discovered in the
other since they had been man and wife.
After some hesitation the wife agreed to
the proposition, but stipulated that the
rehearsal should be made in all sincerity,
and with an honest view to the bettering
OF each other, as otherwise it would be of
30 us" TO speak of the faults to which
marriage had opened their eyes. The
husband was Of the same mind, and his
wife asked him to begin He was some
what reluctant, but hlS wife insisted that
he was first to propose the matter, and,
rs he was the head Of the house, it was
his place to take the lead. Thus urged,
he began the recital
He said:
My dear, one Of the first faults that
| observed in You after we began keeping
house was that you good deal neglected
the tinwarc. My mother always took
great pride in her tinware and kept it as
bright as dollar"
& am glad You have mentioned it,
dear said the wife, bushing a little
" hereafter You shall see no spot on cup
or pan. Pray proceed" "I have also
observed" said the husband, "that you
use Your dish rags a long time without
washing them, and finally throw them
away. Now, when at home, remember
that my mother always used to wash out
her dish rags when she was done using
them, and then hung them up where they
could dry, ready for the next time she
would need them"
Flushing, as before, the young wife
promised to amend this fault.
The husband continued with most
Formidable list of similar faults, many
more than we have space to enumeratc,

and tell me all the faults you have dis
covered in ME since we have been mar

The wife sat in silence Her face
flushed to the temples and great lump
came in her throat, which she seemed to
be striving hard to swallow.
"Procccd, my dear; tell me all the
faults you have discovered in me spare
none"
Arising suddenly from her seat, the
little wife burst into tears, and throwing
both arms about her husbands neck,
cried
"My dear husband, you have not a

eyes have been so blinded by love for
you that so long as we have been married
never once observed it. In my eyes
you are perfect, and all that you do seems
to be done in the best manner, and just
what should be DONE"
"But, my DEAR" said the husband, his
face reddening and his voice growing
husky with emotion, "just think, | have
| gone and found all manner of fault with
You. Now do tell me some of my faults
I know have many-ten times as ma ny
as you ever had or ever will have. Let
me hear them" et,.
t"Indeed, husband it is as tell you
you have not a single fault that can see
\ Whatever you do seems right in my eyes
