THE SURVIVORS STORY.

The men who escaped give the following
story: They were awakened by the blowing
OF a locomotive whistle about o'clock Sun
day morning. The room was filled with
smoke from yellow, and the fire was leapiDg
up around the kitchen stovepipe. The men
were dsz.d, but four went down a ladder
and escaped with severe injuries. Three
escaped unhurt through a small sliding
window leading from the front to the roof
of an adjoining building. Eighteen persons
were in the house, and eleven persisted. Two
bodies were burned to ashes. The men had
saved up their earnings, and, it is supposed,
eHdeavored TO get their money and valusbles
out of their trunks, and thus lost the oppor-
tunity 10 escaps. The building was con-
strucIed OF pitch pine, aud was totally con-
sumed in thirty minutes after the discovery

Carlo and Nan.

Carlo, is a great, black, splendid dog
Nan is q little, white, naughty kitten
such naughty, thievish kitten!
''She must be put out of the way"
said mamma. Il can't have her into
things so.n
Very WELL" said papa; srH send
Peter up to see to it, -
''Oh no, nor cried Trotty; ''please
don't send Peer to see to it." You see,
Nan belongs TO Trotty.
''YcS, said mamma; ''the very next
time she's caught stealing she'll have to
be aiken care OF.
TgOtty knew what that meant, and ne
began to cry. Carlo thumped his black
tail hard upon the hoor and growled a
little. He didn't like to hear Trotty
CRY. Maybe he didn't want Nan taken
case ri i>sy in that way, either.
But the next time Nan was caught
stealing, it was Carlo who caught her.
Nan jumped up on the table and be-
gan to lap cream out of a bowl. Garlic
growled and showed his teeth.
Nan jumped down again in a great
hurry Carlo took her in his mouth and
shook her, and dropped her beside the
stove. Then he trotted out to his ken
mel. and pretty soon he came back with
a chicken bone.
He laid that down before Nan with g
little purring growl.
There" said he, ''eat that and don't
steal any more cream. If you do
At least that is what mamma, who
was watching, told Trotty that Carlo
said; and she had to tell the story more
times than half-a-dOzen
And nobody has caught Nan in {
theft since that day, unless it is Carlo

An Artists life

Gustave Dore, the distinguished artist.
who died recently at the early age of
fifty years, was in some particulars an
example to follow; in others, beacon
to warn.
He was pattern of industry, sobriety
and frugality. Contrary to the custom
of Paris, he was up and at work every
morning at six o'clock. He was tenn
perate in both eating and dSinking, pre-
ferring only the simplest dishes, and
avoiding, so far as he could, late parties
and long dinners.
Living for his art alone, he never
married, but resided to the last with his
mother, to whom he was very devoted
1t gave him offence even to be invited to
the heavy and cruel repasts by which
wealthy idlers endeavored to fill the
hours of their vacant evenings. In
speaking of one of the men who invite
people to elegant and enervating din
ners, he once said, as he pressed his
hand to his head:
''It is just as if he struck me on the
head with those heavy bottles of his.
You might quarrel with q man for less. "
For his arts sake he could be pro-
fuse. His studio in Paris, whether we
consider It's ma0nlIcent size, IT'S enuleSS
treasures of art objects, its appliances
for every description of art-work, was
probably without an equal in the world.
He never knew poverty, for his parents
We're in liberal circumstances, and he
earned a competent income by carica-
lures before he was twenty years of
age. Inlateyears his revenue was large.
With all his genius and his many virr
tues, one thing he lacked-the single~
eyed pursuit of excellence for its own
sake. He consequently never attained
the serenity and patience of the greatest
artists. He did ten times more work in
his life than he couldpossibly have done
well.
He was far more fertile. in schemes
and projects than he was resolute in
executing them; and this was the case
even in days of his half-employed OBJ
! scurity.
We possess some books of his early
caricatures, all of which show CLEANS
and touches of the great artist, along
with much of the hastiest and crudest
work ever given to the public, under a
name destined to be famous.
Thus, his celebrity already dimmed
in his own counfry-will not retain its
brilliancy in any, and the future oon-
noisseur turning over the mass of his
/ wonderful illustrations will eNclaim,
with a sigh:
'.What a man this might have been!'

Emerson as a Poet.


In mastery essay on Emerson, in
the April Century, Edmund Clarence
Stedm2n refers in part as follows to the
poetical side of Emerson genius:
Hermann Grimm recurs to the dis
pute whether our sage was a poet, a
philosopher, or a prophet. The fact is
that he was born with certain notes of
song; he had the poets eye and ear,
and was y poet Just so far as being q
philosopher, he accepted poetry as the
expression of thought in its rare and
prophetic moods, and just so far as, in
exquisite moments, he had the mastery
of this form of expression.
Emerson's prose is full of poetry, and
his poems are light and air. But this
statement, like so many of his own,
gives only one side of truth. His prose
is just as full of everyday sense and
dom; and something different from
prose, however sublunary and imagina-
tive is needed to constitute poem,-
His verse, often diamond-like in con-
trast with the feldspar of others, at
times is ill-cut and beclouded. His
prose, then, is that of q wise man, plus
a poet; and his verse, by turns, light
and twilight, air and yapor. Yet we
never feel, as in reading Wordsworth,
that certain of his measures are wholly
prosaic. He was so careless of ordi-
nary standards, that few of hts own
craft have held his verse at its worth. 1t
is said that. his influence was chiefly,
| like that of Socrates, upon the sensitive
and young, and such is the case with all
/ fresh influences; butI take it that those
| who have fairly aSSimilated Emerson s
poetry in their youth have been not so
much born poets as born thinkers OF a
poetio cast. 1t is inevitable, and par
| takes of growth by exercise, that poets
in youth should value a masters sound
aid color and form, rather than his
priceless thought. They are drawn to
the latter by the former, or not at all
Yet when poets, even in this day of re-
finement, have served their technical ap.
premiership, the depth and frequent
splendor of Emerson's verse grow upon
them. They half suspect that he had
the finest touch of all when he chose to
apply it. 1t becomes question wheth-
er his discords are those of an undevel-
oped artist, or the sudden craft of one
who knows all art and can afford to be
on easy terms with it. l think there is
evidence on both sides;-that he had
seasons when feeling and expression
were in circuit, and others when the
wires were down, and that he was as
apt to attempt to send a message at one
time as at the other. But he suggested
the subtilty and swiftness of the souls
reach, even when he failed to sustain
it.

How to Start Small Seeds.

A correspondent of RaraI Neaa Yorker
writes: ''Ihe following is the best
method that | have ever tried for
terminating small and delicate seeds.
Fill common fiower-pot with the loan.
BY jarring the pot, set the soil moder-
ately firm, leaving the surface finely
puiverized. On this scatter the seeds
and jar the pot again to settle them into
the crevices of the soil. Then place the
pot in shallow water in warm, sunny
window or plant-house and see that
sufficient water is kept in the saucer or
basin in which the pot rests to keep the
surface of the soil in the pot sufficiently
wet. Any fancy pot with saucer at
tached will answer equally well if the
drainage hole is sufficiently low. Treat
ed as here suggested, nearly, if not
quite, all good seeds will grow, even
those which happen to remain in full
view on the surface of the soil. The
plan is easily adopted, and necessitates
no troublesome eNpedients to prevent
the washing out of the seeds or the
packing of the soil as when water is ap-
piled directly to the surface, as is usu-
ally done, and no glass need be placed
on the top of the pot, for by capillary
attraction the surface of the soil will
keep sufficiently wet if enough water is
kept at the base of the pot. Seeds
needing little moisture for termination
should be treated accordingly. Only a
little water should be applied to the base
of the pot. The above may prove in
structive to a portion of your younger
readers, if not also to some of the Older
ones. Indeed, l have never known any
one but myself to employ the above
method.

Changes In Texas Cattle Raising.

The typical cowboy is with as alm6E4
a thing of the past, not simply because
the number of cattle has so decreased
of late, but the manner Of handling
them has undergone radical change.
Time was when an owner of 1900 OF
1900 head of cattle would find employ
ment for fifteen or twenty vaqueros; un-
der the present system three men can
now perform the functions for which
five times that number were requisite
few years ago. 1t was formerly the
custom upon our ranches to 'loose>
herd'' the cattle during the day and to
round them up on the background" OF
pen them in corrals for the night. Now
we have immense pastures, inclosed by
many miles of barbed wire fencing, in
which cattle roam at will by day OF
night. The pasture fences are examin,
ed and kept in repair by men detailed
upon the ranches for that purpose. Ten
years ago the cattle were driven North
from this State without regard to sex.
age, or condition. The result was that
Texas was almost drained of breeding
as well as of beef cattle. Now there Is
some discretion exercised, and Ii is the
exception, not the rule, for COWS and
calves to be driven cup the trail" OF to
the shipping centers.

IT'S ONLY BLOCKS.
Pathetic Story of Brave Little School Girl.

Mrs. Loyel, Katie's mother was seam
stress, and there were many days when
she had but little work to do, and the
pay was always small-only few cents
for a garment that she must work at the
whole day long. But she struggled hard
to pay the rent and keep Tim and Katie
in school.
In school-that was the great thing
"Plenty of money may come one day,
little ones" she would say, ''but it will
not be worth much if you do not know
how to use it. This is the most wonder
full country in the world, my brides.
Tim may be president and Katie a Mrs.
President, and you can't know too much
OF school books. I'm sure that, when
you re grown up, YOU can never be glad
and thankful enough that your mother
sent you regularly to school. So don't
mind the patched clothes, but keep at
the head of your class, if you haven't
hat for your head!
But the winter Katie was II years old,
the brave little mother had less money
than ever before, and as the spring-time
came on they grew SO very poor that

''Give it all to Tim,'' Katie would say;
II believe | don't want anything at

she tried to think that she was not
hungry! How empty her hands felt at
first as she trudged along without her
dinner! And how her heart beat, and
| how the blood burnt In her cheeks, when
the incoming came, and she of all the
! girls had no luncheon to eat! Oh, if any
| body should notice it, she thought; and
she studied how she might behave that
/ nobody should know she was so poor.
/ The hunger in her stomach was not half
so hard to bear as the fear that some
| body would know that she had nothing

But. after few days, poor Katie be-
gan to think that the girls noticed that
She brought no luncheon. Then 'she
thought that perhaps if she brought
something that looked like one, they
would never think about her eating it.
How she thought it all out l cannot tell,
! but if any of you have ever been in
trouble and tried to think your way out
of it, perhaps you may remember that
YOU thought of some very foolish and
queer things, and this was the way with
Katie. She might tie up few Goals in
a paper, she thought, but her mother
would need every coal to keep up the
fire. There were some blocks in one
corner of the small room-Tim' blocks
that Santa Claus had brought him one
Christmas two or three winters before
She could tie up some of those in a pa

noticed it as she started for school, and
asked in surprise what she had in the
paper, the poor child hung her head, and
then burst into tears.
"Oh, mammal she sobbed, 81 wanted
to make believe that had some luncheon
its only Tins blocksr'
For one moment the little mother did
not understand, and then suddenly it all
came into her mind-how the pride of
her child was wounded because she
could not appear as the other school
children did, and that she had fixed up
on that simple device to hide her want.
And how ii made her heart ache more
than ever that her poor little girl must
90 hungry! But she would not deprive
Katie of the poor comfort OF trying to
keep up appearances, and her throat
was too full of choking Jumps for her to
trust herself to say much; so she smooth
ed the little girls hair and wiped away
the tears from her face, and said brave
ly: ''Neyer mind, Katie! Better days
will come! Mother feels sure of it!'
And then Katie slipped away with hel
little bundle, and the poor little mother
sat down and sadly wept at the hard
ships that had befallen her little ones.
WHen the nooning came, Katie sat at
her desk with her make-believe dinner
before her. Her teacher noticed that
she kept her seat, and seeing her lunch
con, went to her and said: 'Why do
you not 90 into the lunch-room aud eat
your luncheon with the other girls?" at
the same time reaching out for Katie's
bundle.
"Oh, teacher cried Katie bursting
into tears, ''don' n'ttouchit! and oh, teact-
er don't tell, please! It's only blocksr'
Only blocksn' softly repeated the
teacher. and tears filed her eyes. Never
mind, Katie, I'll not tell the girls, You
are brave and dear little girl, and
one of the best in the schoolr'
Poor, poor child! The kind words
were like mamma to her heart; but, long
ing as the teacher was to give the child
II portion of her own luncheon. she
would not hurt her pride by the offer be-
fore oshers. But during short session
of the teachers when school was over,
she related the incident. and spoke in
such high terms of praise of the little
girl, that each one resolved to do all
possible to bring ''better days at once
to the poor mother; and early next
morning the better days began. No one
touched the brave little mothers self
respect by offering her charity, but plen=
ty of work, with good pay, was carried
to her, and enough of bread and milk,
and new shoes, and coal, and all other
needful things, soon came to their home
through the mothers industry. And
Tins blocks went back into their cor
ner, to stay there.
