The destructive forest fires in the
Sierras,say the Virginia ,Nev.) Chronicle,
have alarmed the wild beasts that renllez-
vo,isetl there and forced them to- fee tn
the plains and valleys to escape being
cremated alive. Their alarm apparently
tanned the terrified animals, and bears,
timber wolves and deer, that sought in
habitetl regions from the blazing forests,
bctray no tin,idty at the approach of hsl-
man beings and domestic animals. They
have sense enough to know that they

combined training school and intelli-
gencc office for both American and for
eign girls who want to go out i'm SERVICE"
college for servant girls In a good idea,
and il il hoped that the projectors see
their way clear successfully to overcome
the obstacles that must suggest Them
selves to the imagination OF all who have
had dealings with this species of feminin-
ity. The professor of department and
ethics, we fancy, will have her hands full
when she attempts to teach her class how
to stay i'm nights. The instructor i'm the
stove department will have to get up very
early in the morning to give her pupils
any new points on the use of kerosene i'm
the origin and development of kitchen
fires; and the lecturer ON beds and how to
make them will have u harder task before
her than she has any conception of at
present. Still we predict much good of
the enterprise; and IL the scheme meets
with the approval Of the faculty the MORN
ing newspaper men of the country would
take pleasure I'm founding u chair to teach
hired girls how not To pound, hang,
smash and finally pull the house down
over their heads while the scribes are try
ing tn catch few hours sleep i'm the fore
noon.
