Incidents Mt a Fire in Constantfnople

We saw young woman brought ont
of burning house with copper ket-
tie in her hand. She was screaming
wildly, my babyl Oh, my baby!"
The woman had been engaged in the
kitchen, with her infant In her arms,
and had been busily occupied saving
her cooking utensils by throwing them
into the cistern, quite unconscious that
her dwelling was already on fire. The
firemen, having discovered her In that
perilous place, had rushed into the
kitchen and forced her to hasten out
On her way she had espied a copper
kettle, and had instinctively seized 1t;
but in her fright and bewilderment
she had thrown her baby into the els
tern instead of the kettle. Fortunately,
q sturdy fellow succeeded in rescuing
the baby, and restoring it to the dis
tracted mother.
The other incident was even more
dreadful AS we stood looking at the
fire, we beheld man struggling. and
the next moment saw him deliberately
thrown into the flames.

regiment, and came back SO crippled
and battered that the old free. careless
life was impossible. Always q great
reader and close student, he turned
to the school room and won reputa-
ton over three counties as q successful
teacher. Under those circumstances
he was called to take charge of what
was, with undoubted justice, called the
worst school In Northern California.
The trustee had written to him ut his
cabin, perched on pine-clad height of
the Sierra, trout streams within a
stones throw, grouse in tho woods, and
deer and bear, his gun and rod, his

brosiana" on the shelf within reach.
He saddled his horse. and, rising ut
daybreak, reached the village, once a
mining camp, before 9 o'clock. When
school was called to order he found
that efficient work demanded reclassi-
fication, for the previous teacher had
tried to gain cheap favor by advancing
grades and skipping the hard places,
and had come to grief by begging q
large boy not to smoke cigarette In
school The playful lads ducked him
in the adjacent stream, sousing him up
and down till he escaped, waded to the
farther bank, and sought other past
ures. But the new teacher was of
sterner material.
II shall have an examination to-day
to see whore you belong. and must
turn you back in your grades If you de-
serve it," he said.
A loud murmur Of discomfort and
almost open rebellion followed. Moth
ing abashed, the teacher made his first
and last speech. He took from the
table a book and addressed m older
pupil:

to break up and consolidate, class after

"Fell Through q Trap"

Judge William Carter. of Sheboygan,
and Judge Caswell Marks. OF Selma.
were both natives of Lexington, Ky.
In boyhood they had jammed the
same cats head into the same milk
pitcher, stolen peaches from the same
tree, got trounced by the same farm
ers, were otherwise enviously intimate
friends, afterwards chums at college
and then errand boys in the same Office.
Later in life they parted and rose to
sublime honors in their separate places.
Last January they met for the first
time since their parting. in Lexington.
and brewed o convivial bowl in honor
of the event. About midnight full of
affection and enthusiasm. they retired
in the same bed. It was huge affair,
standing in the middle of the room and
capable of being drawn up by ropes to
the ceiling while the room was being
cleaned. 1t was q very cold night,
and they placed their clothing upon
the foot of the bed. Just after they
fell asleep. four friends entered softly,
drew the bed by the ropes nearly to
the ceiling, and left them thus sus-
pended about ten feet from the floor.
They then locked the door outside and
retired.
At 8 n. m. Judge Carter woke with
that species of thirst which usually
comes after Kentucky punch and
technically known as shot "copper""
Leaping lightly out of bed to get the
ice pitcher, he went whirling down ten
feet, alighting with soul-stirring
thump on all fours.
There was long and painful pause.
Then he peered upward through the
darkness and called:
'Caswell!'
No reply.]
'Oh, Caswellr'
Feeble cries.
"Cazv'
Northumberland" The Judge
was awakening.
'I've fallen through trap" yelled
the now affrighted Judge, "get up
and light candle"
"Where are you." queried Judge
Carter, sleepily, framing his opinion
that his honorable brother was drunk.
''Down here. Fell through q trap.
Don't get out on my side of the bed"
'All right" And Judge Marks,
springing out on his own side, turned
three somersaults and landed on the
small of his back. Both were now con-
vinced that they had fallen into den
of thieves, and were possibly to be
murdered. The jokers had closed the
heavy wooden shutters, so no light
could enter, and removed NIL the furni-
ture. The judges CROPPED around on
hands and knees, nearly frozen to
death, and only at daylight discovered
the bed, climbed into 1t, and got
warm enough to talk the thing over.
There were recently two temperance
societies started under glorious auspic-
es. The headquarters of one is at
Selma, and tho other ut Sheboygan.

Another form of aeronautic toy Is q

hanging from the end of the short

into the water a short distance where
the wind Is blowing off the land. and
tosses the toy into the air. 1t is carried
along by the breeze, sinking as it goes
until the bits of wood touch the water,
when the kite. being relieved of their
weight, springs into the air, again to
descend and rise in succession of
graceful bounds, until 1t is lost to sight
out at sea- No small amount of skill
is shown in adjusting the weight of the
bits of wood to that of the kite to have

scribed.

In their dances there is much slow,

from the Hawaiian hulds in the absence
of the undulatory motions of the body.
A group of men and women will gath

two rows opposite each other. One
stops forward as n leader, and q chant
is commenced. The time Is accented
by an occasional stamp of the foot, or q
resounding slap on the mat covering
the body or tho muscular part of the
upper arm and chest. The stamps and
blows grow more frequent as the song
is sung. the voices are raised higher
and higher. the words are shouted
faster and faster, until, climax being
reached. the stanza concludes with
three schoing stamps and claps. and
the noise suddenly ceases.
