Narrow Escape of two Londonderry
Boys.
The village of Readsboro sustained
a heavy loss by fire early Monday
morning. The store building, occu-
pied by E. j. Bullock & Co., with
all of its contents was totally destroy
ed, also the town house, three dwell
ings and two barns. The total loss
is placed at $4,000. Insured for
about one-half this amount. The fire
is supposed to have been incendiary,
and was set under shed in the rear
of the store. Paints and oils were
kept above this. Bullock's family
resided over the store and had mar
row escape. Two clerks, young men
belonging in Londonderry, Grin Stow
ell and Harry Pierce, were asleep in
the third story and barely escaped
their lives. Stowell got considerably
burned about his feet and one shoul-
der. He lost all of his clothing,
money and a nice gold watch. Pierce
was a little more fortunate, and sue
ceeded in saving his trunk but left
for the flames the suit he had worn
the day containing his money and
watch. They had ouly got out and
across the street when the oil tank,
located under their sleeping apart
ment, exploded.

The New York Fashion Bazaar fol
July, in its dainty cover and with g
profusion of illustrations, lies before
us. 1t would be hard to criticise SC
excellent periodical. To our wives
and daughters we can offer nothing
more attractive than its diversified
fashion plates, covering all the re-
quirements of summer toilets. New
millinery fills large space, and suits
and styles for children are furnished
in sufficient variety to satisfy the
most devoted mother of little ones.
In this number of the Fashion Bazal
we find the commencement of new
serial novel by Edna Lyall, entitled
" Derrick Vaughan-Novelist," in
which the fair authoress will probably
give some of the experiences of pop
uiar authorship. Her last story, ga
Hardy Norseman," which is not vet
finished, was the fruit of her last sum-
mer vacation in Sweden and Norway.
There is variety of interesting mis-
cellany and short stories and articles.

A Famous Betrothal Over Forty Years Ago
81 wonder how many people know
that Victoria the Good, as it has been
suggested the queen of England shall be
called, when she fell in love had to dc
the proposing for herself" said an Amer
icanized Englishman the other morning.
II was much interested in reading re.
GENTLY the account of her betrothal 1t
had always been expected that she and
her cousin Albert would eventually make
match Of it. When they were both
about 18 years old he visited England,
but did not make much impression on
the newly crowned queen. However,
three years later he made up his mind to
a now or never game, and with his
brother visited her at Windsor castle.
Like more humble lovers, he was placed
in rather embarrassing predicament by
the non-arrival of his luggage, and was
thus prevented from dining with her
majesty on his first evening as her guest.
For five days did Victoria study him,
and then after first telling her adviser,
Lord Melbourne, what she had decided
to do, she sent for Albert, saying that she
desired to see him particularly. One ac-
count of the affair, certainly valuable for
its brevity, reads as follows: What the
queen told him was that she loved him
with her whole heart, and that she de-
sired to be his wife She was accepted
without hesitation, as any good looking
sovereign of 20 might have hoped to have
been, and so they were married. ."-Phila-

Pugilism and Insanity.

The Neurogical society lately held
seance in New York, in which several
pugilists were exhibited to establish
marked similarity between their ears
and those of the incurably insane. It is
well known fact among physicians
that a swollen prominence of the upper
part of the ear occurs often in crazy
people, and is an invariable indication
of hopeless lunacy. Among prize fight
ers the same peculiar mark is seen, re-
sulting from frequent pummeling of the
head. The swelled ear of a fighter is
priced by him as distinction second
only to broken nose, and in time be-
comes an established trade mark; but
the individuals who came forward to
illustrate "Hematonia," or humorous
ears, were somewhat chagrined to find
that their professional sign also belongs
to the worst cases of the mad house.
Investigation might lead to the discovery
of a more intimate kinship between the
two classes of people who bear the brand
of swelled ears.-Cosmopolitan.

"Tempest in a Teapot"

Mr.. Sitter Your readers east of
the mountain have probably heard the
vocal roar of the war which has been
raging for several weeks on the west
side, and perhaps would relish an ac-
count of its origin and progress, and
as
IA little nonsense, now and then,
Is relished by the wisest men,"
l will give the matter, substantially,
in as few words as possible. Several
boys and young men had been in the
habit of resorting to the fair grounds
on Sundays for game of base ball,
and as it was under the eyes of our
town grand juror he very properly
ordered the boys to stop, and as re-
taliation is a strong impulse in the
human heart, the boys said if we can
not play ball on Sunday certain ones
must stop garden work on Sunday,
and killing beef on Sunday and very
soon certain ones were notified that a
complaint had been made to the grand
juror. This established the seat of
war at Manchester Depot and the
feeling that sour craft is in DANGER
seemed to become atmospheric and
mingle with the air, which is said to
breed cyclones, invariably. Every
man in the village seemed to be op-
pressed for breath and wore look
of desperation, and the doom of the
complainer would be sure and terrible
if he could be identified; but he is
unknown, and vengeance must wait
or devise means to find him. And to
this end manifesto is written and
circulated for signature, with the ex-
press understanding that the innocent
would sign it and the guilty refuse.
This was presented to every man in
the village and all signed (nearly two
dozen) )except the painter, the carpen-
ter and the jobber. These three pre-
sumptiously refused to sign, leaving
the exact identity of the desired vic

German Etiauefte.

Perhaps the best criterion of the mi
nuteness of German etiquette is the little
unwritten code on pocket manners. Ger
man good form is shocked by the helter
skelter condition of the American pocket.
A well bred German never allows his
keys and his jackknife, his small change,
his shoe buttoner and his cigar cutter to
jingle about loosely in his trousers
pocket. The greatest offense against
German pocket manners is to carry small
silver coins loose in the pocket. A Ger
man lieutenant may have only half a
dollar to his name, but he carries as big
a purse as if he owned all the notes of the
Imperial Reichsbank. In paying for s
cents worth of beer he goes down into
his trousers and draws out his fabby
pocketbook with a dignity, thanking
heaven that he is a mannerly, high born
Prussian, and not a vulgar tradesman
like the American at his side, who has
just slapped down on the table mess of
gold, silver, keys and manicure appara-
tus. The small German schoolboy Is not
even allowed to carry his car fare with
nnt a purse.-Detroit Free Press.
