Up in smoke.

Up in smoke.
Early on the morning of the 27th
fire broke out, from some unknown
cause in the stable OF Patrick Mackey,
in Magnolia Street, Brooklyn. The
high wind famed the flames and
scattered the burning embers in every
direction. The fire spread to Mackey s
dwelling and in a short time both
were demolished, causing a loss
OF $500. The flames communi-
Gated to the Lutheran Cemetery (
Cypress Hills Railroad Company
depot. The firemen could not check
the flames and the horses We're rescued
with difficulty The depot sheds and
stables were burned with forty cars,
seven motors and a quantity OF har-
ness. The company estimate their
loss at over S1O0, 600. Insured in
different companies, but not FOR the full
amount. Another fire early in the
morning broke out in the fOur-story
brick building, 257 First Street, New
York, which is occupied for manu-
featuring purposes. The first and sec
ond floors were occupied by c. d. Dem

pied by Stephen Symonds as nickel
plating works; his loss is about So, 600.

GERH8N Nv POLAND,
The Native Language to be Crushed Out
Existence.

The lower house OF the Prussian
diet on the oath discussed the bill re
lating to teachers in national schools
in Polish Prussia. DR.. Won Gossler,
minister OF public instruction and
ecclesiastical affairs, declared that the
government was compelled to take a
firm and clear stand in view of the
continuous attacks Of the Poles.
Leniency and sympathy were impos-
sible. The best way to assimilate the
two people was 30 insist upon a COM
mon language. 1t was therefore neces-
sary to have teachers in Poland thor
oughiy acquainted with German and
to eliminate Polish literature from the
schools. Unqualified teachers would
be placed in other positions where they
would be more useful. No Injustice
was intended to vested rights. On the
contrary, the government would pur-
sue a policy OF progress, not OF retro
gression. A long discussion ensued,
the Conservatives andNational Liber-
ais supporting, and the members OF
the Center party opposing the bill

How Beauty is Preserved.

From the Baltimore News.
1t is stated that well known sOCIe-
ty woman Of Baltimore, who preserves
her beauty and freshness remarkably
well, despite her many seasons pur
suit OF excitement in the social whirl,
attributes her good fortune to the
habit OF drinking a small cup OF luke
warm water every day on leaving her
couch. SostrOng is her faith in the e.
ficacy Of this remedy that its omission
Is sure to cause depression and Ian
guor.
In speaking of this a few days ago a
well known InatrOn OF Baltimore said:
Il have known many ladies to be
equally devoted to some articles which
could not possibly have benefited
them except through their magma
ton. One lady ! know has a glass OF
toast water placed beside her bed by
her maid every morning. Another
uses d Tablespoonful t!ncture of Gin
Chona in goblet of water; still anoth-
er takes a pinch OF table salt into her
mouth before leaving her bed. Lots
OF ladies resort to such common arti-
cles as oranges and lemons and Ap oil
naris water, or to cool plunge baths,
and themost singular freak ever heard
Of was that of Philadelphia belle who
every morning regularly gargied her
throat with sOapsuds made OF white
CASTLE soap, which she believed was
absolutely necessary to the preserva-
tion OF her health"

a Minister'S Curious Will.

From the Philadelphia Record.l
The Rev. David Abel, a somewhat
eccentric minister, who died recently
IL Burlington County, \. J., left will
which has already bothered the ad-
ministratOr, and it is not unlikely
that he will prefer to surrender the
trust rather than attempt to carry
OIt all the wishes OF thetestator The
will provides first for the payment OF
al Just debts and funeral expenses, and
then directs that theresidue beappIied
to the establishment of Bible tenn
peranCe school for the classical educa-
ton OF the young people OF both sexes,
the preference always being given to
the family relatives of the testatOr
1t also provides that the scholars
shall pay portion OF their tuition by
such manual labor as shall by rule be
appointed them. The last clause Of
the will, however, Is the most peculiar
In it he desires his executor to make
provision, if possible, for the use of as
large a portion of thegrounds devoted
to school purposes as may be found
available for the pasturing and prOpa-
cation Of goats, in order to encourage
the use OF their flesh in place OF that Of
swine as an article OF food. The Rev
Samuel Miller, OF Monmouth County,
was named as executor, but as he died
recently, Robert ". VAIN, a Phila-
delphia lawyer, residiEg in Burlington,
was made administrator.

Grinders Consumption.

FROM the PItLSDurg Times
The most dangerous OF all trades is
that Of the ax-grinders. These men
work at the large grindstones polishing
and sharpening axes, and the particles
OF steel and stone fill the air with a
dust so fine that it floats in the air
and at every breath some enters the
lungs Of the workmen. They protect
their mouths and noses with wet
spOnges and cloths and yet the dust
viii go through them. Once in the
lungs 1t Rccumulates and cuts out the
tissues and the man becomes afflicted
with grinders consumption and at the
most only lives from five to eight years.
The wages Of the aZ-grinders are by no
means large.
Another class OF workmen who are
afflicted with grinders consumption
are the mep who work at emery
wheels, but they usually live longer, as
the dust from the wheels does not feat
III the air as from grindstones. The
wheels, however, sometimes burst
with frightful results. Brass-workers

st. Paul, Mimi, on the afternoon OF
the 23d, burned fercely in the fine
fabrics in the basement and on the
salesrOOm floor, while floods OF water
We're poured in from the steamers.
These two elements wrought great
havoc, and soon the finest dry goods
house in the city was in ruins, as far
as stock was concerned, although there
may be sufficient salvage, Mr.. Mann
heimer says, with the insurance, to re-
duce the firms loss somewhat. The
stock was invoiced at 1852, 600 re-
Gently, but since then many costly
goods have been received and were in
the store. The insurance is not yet
exactly known, butts about $3.50, 900.
The building was valued at S15O,OOO,
but was not damaged more than &c.
900. The insurance is distributed
among a great many companies, but
none are heavy losers.

CAUGHT IN THE sU4FTENG.
Terrible Accident to Two Little Girls in a
PennsYlYania MIL.

a man named Lille owns a mill at
Shamokin Hill, hear Reading, Pa. On
the 25th, his twin daughters, Katie
and Susie, aged 5 years, strayed to an
upstair room in the mill where a shaft
was revolving. While at play, the lit
tie ones ventured too near the ma
chinery, and their clothing caught in
the shaft, and they we're drawn around
it, and whirled with each revolution.
After being thrown around for an
hour, they were found by an older sis
ter who had come to look for them.
When the machinery was stopped,
their bodies were found to be terribly
laCerated. The skull of Katie was
badly fractured, and her body in 9th
er ways much mutilated, causing her
death. Susie still llves, but her
chances of recovery are small. Her
entire body Is more or less injured,
several bones being broken.

they took room at a cheap hotel.

smoke was seen issuing from the

1t required the united efforts of several

taken from the ruins, and then she be-

& Crank Fires at the President From tn Q

\ new kind Of sensation was made
n the French Chamber OF Deputies on
the 25th. A strange man in one otthe
galleries arose excitedly, drew a revOl-
yer, fred it twice with downward aim,
and then coolly threw letter 10 ".

seized and hurried out by the police.
When the excitement had subsided
fattened bullet was found at the feet
OF the president OF the Chamber. The
prisoner said he was a soldier who had
been sOill-treated by his superiors and
ignored by the officers Of Justice that
he resorted to the desperate expedient
Of creating the sensation In the Cham
Der OF Deputies IN order to secure at
tentiOn to his grievances. The prison
er gave his name as Poirier. and said
ne was an officer OF the French army.
He asserted that the letter that he
threw towards VI. Clemenceau con-
tanned an offer to give the government
the names Of the betrayers OF Metz.

ton OF the republic Prince Napoleon
also takes occasion TO criticise the
manner in which the president is
chosen. He says that the people
should be allowed to elect their own
cher magistrate, and that the method
which gives the power OF election to
the national assembly should be abol-
lsbed. The letter, which is addressed
10 the Senate and Chamber of Depu-
ties, concludes: "If it be crime for a
lover OF France TO speak out of her
danger, then punish me-" Theprotest
has thrilled Paris with genuine SEN
satlon. The newspapers are furious
over 1t. They call it a " defiance" " and
demand the princes expulsion.

Wind and Snow.
A Boston dispatch OF the 26th saws:
At O'Clock this morning a huge tele-
Eraph pole at the corner Of MARYLAND
and Alabama Streets was broken
short of by the high winds. Other
poles either were broken or pulled
down in quick succession and several
streets were soon blockaded with fallen
poles and an inextIicable snare of
wires. Many horses were entangled
and a panic was narrowly averted
The streets were at once rOped off and
large gangs OF men were set at work to
clear the wreck. For the time being
freight delivered at the Albany depot
had to be dragged by hand around
block. No injury to life or limb has
so far been reported, but there
have been narrow escapes. A
furious blizzard prevailed during
the night in this vicinity and for
long distance down the eastern coast.
At Portland twenty inches Of snow
has fallen and it Is still showing. Busi-
ness is at a staudstill. The Grand
Trunk Railway is blocked at Bethel.
and between there and South Paris is
in bad condition. At st. John, n B.,
the sno y is the heaviest OF the season
and the wind is blowing sixty miles an
hour. At Westfeld the spire OF a
church was turned completely over
and thrust through the roof OF the
building into the audience room. The
storm. which prevailed throughout
New England, Is reported as the Sc
verest of the winter. In some sections
OF New Hampshire and Vermont fiji
teen to twenty-four inches of snow
have fallen, accompanied by a furious
wind. Th3 roads in many places are
blocked, telegraph and telephone
wires are prostrated and railroad
travel is impeded.

A Berlin special says: All workmen
OF foreign birth have been discharged
from employment IN the government
dockyards. This action has been ta-
ken because Of the disclosures in the
case OF Capt. .Sarauw, recently convicted
OF having sold plans and information
OF German fortifcations to Mai.

Capt. Sarauw is a Dane and no man
OF German birth has yet been arrested

1t has been rather broadly suggested
that pretty girls cause most of the trou-
bic in the world. Of course the greatest
of all evils on this mundane sphere is
money, but pretty girls stand second
best.
1t seems odd how much of these great
evils an ordinary man imagines he can
take care Of. Like champagne, he will
never acknowledge he has too much for
his own good.
Young men in society are warned by a
careful sister that such and such pretty
girl is to be avoided, as likely to prove
dangerous to his peace Of mind. Do
they ever heed? Never. That very
pretty girls favor they most ~assiduously
seek. Then when she breaks his suscep-
tible heart, she is loudly denounced.
She alone is to blame. OF course she is.
The sister warned him, he could not re-
sist her fascination, consequently she is
to blame for being charming.
1t cannot he denied that pretty girls
have been involved in nearly every trag-
cdy and scandal of history. That Won
dortul wooden-horSc would never have
been built, had not Helen of Troy been
beautiful. Juliet Capulet was vondrous
handsome or her neighbours boy. Romeo,
would not have climbed the garden wall.
Cleopatra must have been ''perfeCtly
lovely" for the photographs of her are
SO. aud most Of them were. taken when
she was not feeling we'll. having been bit
ten by that poisonous asp.
Homelv women are fortunately not
called upon to participate in these unfor-
tunate affairs. 1t is peculiar, however,
that men prefer to fall in love, fight and
die for pretty girls, and it is just as
much u fact-as it j. peculiar that girls
prefer to bc pretty and run the risk Of
these fatalities.
