Tho most dangerous and futal fire that has
happened in Rochester,, N. Y. for many years
occurred recently, and the loss Of life il OK.
l,ected to rencll between fifty nnd sixty. A
general alarm was sounded on fire being dis
covered in the packing room of the Rochester
Ssalm Gauge ant Lantern works, employing
d largo number of men. So l,sy
has tho factory been lntcly
that the men have been working night nnd
day to catcl up on orders. The building to
y, which the fire was confined was six stories
nigh. About eixty men wurc working in the
three UPPER huors, and us soon as they found
there was firq underneath them they began to
leap from the windows, ignoring tile fire
sstapes with balconies on thesouth side oftlls,
ba'ilding. In these leaps quite n number Of,
men were injured, many of them so,
ssrlously that they will probably die.
Sy O'clock, the, building was en-
taken out dcnd; sixteen werc seriously ill.,
Jufed, fourteen were entirely safe, and the
tsst unaccountcd for, of whom quite num-
Der are unknown by nalne. The scenes ut
the tirc were heartrending, and prominent
among those who wern present utter tho fire
were three priests in the surplces who adj
@.n,stered asrs spiritual comfort to those who
built On the high bank, on the west side of
the Gcnescc river. and was difficult one for.
the firemen to get it, owing to one side being
entirely closed to them.
Until the books are examined, it will not be
possible to tell who we're actually ut work
and how many persons are lost. Among
those saved were John Plntts who escaped
by sliding from tho sixth floor. He snys
there were thirty persons Mt work on that
noor, and three Were saved-Tobert and
Horatlo Hall md Joseph Smith. Patt
thinks that ahout ton others escaped with
him. The lantern works, with stock and
machinery. IL n total loss, estimated Mt
about S225, 900. The insurance Is $179 900.
the cause of the fire is n mystery Two men
went to work after supper and all seemed to
bo right then. Soon nftefwnl Jacob Dicll,
the watcimnn, while making hisMsuul rounds
discovered fumes making way ND through
the floor lie hnd barely time to give tho
ainrm when lie was ssurrountlcd by the flames,
but he succeeded i'll making the dan.
ger ger known to the men on the fourth.
nth and sixth floors. These at onca
realized their position and made their
way from the building, but before
oil got out the structure was SETTLING mass
ol tire. There was not the slightest chance
OF escape by the usual doors OF exitc, and the
windows were at once utilized for the purpose.
The majority Of the workmcn lost their hcnds
and began to jump instead OF taking the fire
ladders that were attached to the building.
It is believed that u number of men are
buried in the ruins. hut ut present it is inn
possible to be sure Of this.

that enters into the strength and
beauty of true manhood.
As soon as they reached the main
thoroughfare ofthe town, they seated
themselves in a horse car, rode
through pleasant and shaded streets;
by the beautiful Green, an oasis and
resting place in the very heart of the
city's traffic; by the buildings of
Yale college, over which, in hours of
quietness, the spirit of learning seems
to brood; then by fine residences and
far beyond the business center, to
quiet neighborhood where modest
but comfortable homes can be found.
They were soon at the door of the
pretty cottage where our heroine
lived. Mr.. Williams went in and re-
mained Il few moments. He was
introduced to Miss Blakeman's
mother, middle-aged lady with n
mild and tranquil flce, evidence of u
kindly disposition, who shed tenrs as
she pressed the conductors hand
and thanked him most fervently for
preserving the life of her only child.
As lie turned from the door, Miss
Brakeman, with O deep blush over
spreading her cheeks, and in timid
accents thanked him II second time
for saving her life. and expressed the
hope that he would call again. He
said that he would he happy to do

A CHILD TO A ROSE.

White Rose, talk to mel
/ don't know what to do.
Why do you say no word to me,
Who say so much to you?
I'm bringing you little rain, and l shall feel
so proud
If, when you feel it on your face,
You take me for cloud.
Here l come so softly,
You cannot hear me walking;
If l take you By surprise,
l may catch you talking.
White Rose, are you tired
OF staying in one placer
Do you ever wish to see
The wild flowers, face to face9
Do you know the woodbines,
And the big brown crested reeds?
Do you wonder how they live
So friendly with the weeds?
Have you any work to do
When you've finished growing2
Shall you teach your little buds pretty ways of
blowingr
Do you ever go to sleeps-
Once 1 woke by night
And looked out of the window,
And there you stood moon-white,-
Moon-white, in mist of darkness
With never a word to say;
But you seemed to move little.
And then ran away.
White Rose do you love me?
only wish you'd say.
would work hard to please you
If l but knew the way.
think you nearly perfect
In spite of all your scorns;
But, White Rose, If / were you,
lCould'nt have those thorns.

BEST VIEWS OF MARS.

When Mars and the sun occupy oppo-
site places in the heavens our near plan
etary neighbor is seen at its best. This
occurs once in 780 days, but on account
of the ellipticity Of the orbits of the
earth and Mars, the two planets come
nearest together only once in fifteen
years. Mars was in opposition in
April OF this year. 1t will make it's
closest approach in 1892, when it will be
only 35,OO0,0O0 miles away. The mem-
orable discovery Of the two tiny moons
was made during the opposition Of 1877.

would do nothing but run like crazy
firing among the arhar stems, standing
up at intervals on tiptoe, peering with
| anxious, wrinkled face into the forest OF
stems, and uttering shrill, plaintive cries.
He would not be comforted, nor would
he leave the field until Leo returned.
On another occasion, two pariah dogs
set upon the deerhound, and wild con-
fusion reigned as the three dogs fought
and struggled, and sometimes one was
uppermost, sometimes another; while,
through the clouds of dust, Jocko could
be seen dancing piteously around the
combatsnts, and gripping convulsively
the hind legs OF all in turn, while he rent
the air with shrieks.
IL we were going out coursing or shoot
ing, Jocko had to be tied up until we
we're far out of sight. On being released,
he would Immediately climb up palm
tree, and from thence sorrowfully and
wistfully scan the country for hours to
catch the first sight OF his dear friends
return. A faithful and affectionate heart
was enshrined in that wee, weird body
and Jocko was every ones friend. Once
when our small daughter was in disgrace
for having insisted on kicking the cat,
Jocko was SO touched by her distress
that he went to comfort her, and, regard
less Of oil rebuffs, curled himself loving
ly around her mock, and let her sob over
him. There we found him, his pitiful
little face peeping out from her curly
hair, and his fur believed with her tears.

CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HAY
FEVER.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious. or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and eusta-
chan tubes. Microscopic research, however,
has proved this to be fact, and the result is
that simple remedy has been formulated
whereby cstarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay
fever are permanently cured in from one to
three simple applications made by the patient
at home. A pamphlet explaining this new
treatment is sent free on receipt of stamp
by A. Il. Dixon & Son, SO3 West King street

AN INDIAN MONKEY.

One day we were rid ing through a
noble grove of tall and ancient tamarini
trees, when our great deerhound rushed
suddenly in on the monkeys, which were
sitting about in large family parties. The
scuffis was frighttul, all making a rush to
the nearest tree, shriekinR with rage and
terror. In the hurry and confusion,
some very young monkeys were left be-
hind, and took refuge in a network of
roots overhanging a bank; and there,
with great pains, our people managed to
catch baby not a month old, which we
tied up in a handkerchief and carried
home.
He formed q strong attachment,
amounting to hero-worship, to the deer
hound, the original cause of his captivity
For long time, Leo encouraged him
with nothing more loving than growl;
but the small thing persey cred with equal
tact and courage u ntil the dogs hostility
was conquered, and he quietly allowed
Jocko to sit upon his back. From that
moment the two were great friends
Jocko was never chained, as it was quite
sufficient to chain Leo. The monkey
then amused himself all day by playing
gymnastics among the tent ropes or in
the trees, except when he saw stranger
approaching. Then his sole idea of safety
was to scramble down and take refuge
on Lso's back. He made all the marches
on Leo's back, and the perils he under
went were many and varied. Once we
were passing field Of tall ''arhar," when
Leo spied fox therein, and, doggishly
unmindful Of his friends feelings, dashed
into the tangled depths, where the
branches quickly swept poor Jocko from
his seat. In vain we called him. He

daring adventures and thrilling
incidents; and as you follow
the noble hero upon the stage
of mature life, the varied scenes
and touching acts are all real
and replete with striking his
tory. No other than a master
artist could have painted such
a word-picture. 1t is just such
