ANOTHER CALAMITY.
A Collapsed Building----several Persons
Crushed or Burned

About a. m. on the 9Th inst there was
crash at No. 81 Atlantic ave-, Brooklyn, and
people on looking up from the street saw that
the roof OF the building had fallen In and that
a portion OF the walls had fallen. They could
hear the screams OF the people injured and II
smoke rolled up showing that the building had
taken fire. Hundreds OF people, men, women
and girls, were ut the various branches OF bus
mess carried on IN the building, which covers
considerable ground, having three wings, which
extend through from Atlantic avenue to State
street. As soon as the crash was heard of the
falling roof hundreds OF those employed in the
building fled, or endeayorcd to make their way
out by every avenue OF escape which they were
familiar with and some who were the last 10
reach the street appeared with begrlmmcd
faces and blood streaming from wounds which
they had received from falling timbcrs. The
excitement In the neichborhood became very
great and In short time The wives
OF the men who were known to be working in
the building and the parents Of the girls Who
were employed there blocked the streets and
wrung their hands aud wcpt. Three alarms 0f
fire were sen; out, and the services Of a large
number OF the police force had to be called into
requisition TO keep the crowd OF people out Of
the way OF danger. The building was occupied
by 20 small manufacturers and there were
about 500 men and women employed therein.
II was live stories high and erected 81 years
ago, the woodwork burning like finder. When
the tlremen arrived they found many Of the
young women at the windows screaming Wildly
Tor help. Many CT the unfortunate young
women were overcome by the heat and smoke
and fell back into the ruins.
How many lives were lost cannot be posi-.
lively stated but II Is believed that fully 20 un
fortunates persisted. At noon severa. bodies

How to Become Attractive.

A Partisan newspaper has been
teaching its lady readers show to DO
attractive" Pie PdriSienne ought to
be in no need of advice such as the
following. "Look confident and in
different; express yourself simply and
with a voice as sweet as possible. Be
keenly alive to everything that passes,
yet appear absent-minded; know as
much as possible, yet please by asking
questions. Having read everything
quote nothing; seen everything appear
ignorant; heard all, always express
surprise; desiring everything, ask for
nothing. BE light-hearted to preserve
your beauty; be indulgent to attract
sympathy"-and so on. These laws
some evidently notwithstanding laws
are laid down as absolute, with one
exception, "Blush neither for shame
nor for pleasure, to which is added
eff you can help it, Verify, the good
old saying holds good still: ''Il fault
souffrir pour etre BELLE" There. are
however, some clauses which might
with equal advantage be applied to
both sexes. For Instance: "Do not
force wit; always listen attentively:
be charitable for your own satisfaction;
be frank and you need never be afraid
of the truth. See things at glance;
Judge quickly and think more quickly
still in order to keep cool head, "
But wise as these saws are, and how
ever much the world might be benefited
by more general application of them,
they belong decidedly to the category
of precects more easily preached than
practiced--P Pail Mall Gazette.

of tradition whispers the following
Sunday school story:
One spring day the father of George
Washington sent him out to superin-
tcnd the planting of patch of peas.
Not long after the old gentleman
found George playing soldier with a
number of boys on n neighboring plan
tation.
"See here, sir" he said to little
George. III thought l set you to
planting peas this morning."
'sThat Is very true, father cannot
tell lie. But you know want to go
and fight Indians when grow up, and
want to prepare myself. In time of
peas prepare for war"
Thus Il was that the military spirit
of little George asserted itself. Thus
IL was that n tough joke and popular

And as | passed out he came up he
hind me. When in about the mid
die Of the hall my little granddaugh-
ter came running toward me, but

fairly smothering her with kisses,
