An Alarm from Four Boxes.
At ten O'Clock this morning the FIRE
Department was called out to a fire In a
stable and shed in the rear of the offices
of J.. Dickinson & Co., marble and stone
cutters, on Newark street, between Hen
derson and Grove streets, Hoboken.
There was considerable confusion in locat-
ing the fire, as the alarm was rung from
four different boxes. With all the boxes
open only one alarm sounded N the
companies not in close proximity to the
scene of the fire had to be called out by
telephone and police messengers.
The fire was in a bad location, as the
shed which was burned adjoined some
frame tenement houses. Some OF the
women got frightened, but were appeased
by the police and firemen. Excellent work
was done and the fire was soon extin-
guished. The stable~ and shed were en-
tirely destroyed and were valued at about
$50. A horse valued at $500 was burned to
death before it could be rescued, and some
chickens, rabbits and a dog lost their lives.
Liberty Hose Company was not in attend
ence at the fire, but their house was
opened directly afterward. Chief Apple
gate was busy all the morning trying to
locate the breaks in the fire alarm wires,

White Ant Mason Work.

The white ants seem to have an in
Ulperable objection to be seen, and in
variably work under cover. To ac-
complish this end they build covered
roads and galleries extending from
their excavations underneath the
ground to the limb of the tree which
they, have chosen for their dwelling.
First, very small opening is made in
the earth close beside the tree, and the
tiny head OF termite energies with a
pellet of earth in its mouth. This is
placed against the trunk, the head dis
appears, returns again and another
pellet is laid beside the first, made firm
in its place, and the head is gone.
Again this is repeated, and other ants
soon join in the labor. The pellets are
so arranged as to form half circle
against the side of the tree, ants always
working from within. AS each grain
of earth is brought up and added to the
wall the termite elects upon it from its
mouth n sticky saliva, meanwhile turn
ing it over and over till the whole is
thoroughly covered. This acts as q
mortar; without it the wall would fall
into utter ruin almost as soon as it was
begun; with it, it becomes practically
indestructible. The wetted grain is put
upon the wall, worked to and fro until
we'll fitted to its place, and then the ant
turns away to fetch another. These
tunnels often attain n length OF moro
than thirty feet before reaching the
spot where the tree dwelling begins

ABOUT MlND-cUREs.
The Power Of tho Imagination In ReStor.
Ing Health to tho Sick.

Ing Health to tho Sick.
There is no doubt OF the frequent
success of ''mind-cures," s'prayer.
cures" and '.faith-cures."
A wise physician always backs up his
medicine by ministering, in words and
tone and manner, to the hopefulness OF
his patient, lack of which is often the
most unfavorable symptoms. For the
physical system, almost at every point.
Is either under the absolute control or
under the dominant influence of the
nind. Even the child knows that the
mlcd determines every voluntary move
ment of the body. How it does so is a
mystery to the wisest men-as great q
mystery as is the influence of emotions
upon the involuntary muscles, and up
on the bodily health.
Although of shame brings a flush to
the face; that is, through the proper
nerves, 1t distends the superficial capil-
laries with blood. A thought of fear
blanches the cheek by suddenly con-
tracing the capillaries, and crowding
the blood back on the heart. Sudden
bad news takes away the appetite by
arresting the action of the gastric
nerves; sometimes, acting on the heart,
it may cause a dead faint, or even re-
suit in instant death.
In all these cases we have only car
ried the process back one step. We
know that the face fushes with shame,
and we know the physical cause of the
flush. We do not know how the mind
first acts upon the body, and gives the
impulse which results in q blush. But
the action itself Is a fact, and science
may properly take advantage of it to
effect cures in cases where medicine
would be of no avail. Experience gives
many hints how the fact may be en-
ployed.
The writer was once cured of q hard
toothache on pulling a dentists door,
bell.
Hope stimulates the nervous and the
arterial system; despair depresses their
action, often to a fatal degree. Hence,
among rude nations, in all ages, the
power Of charms and lamentations, and
the methods adopted by artful priests
and conjurers to work on the fears or
hopes of their dupes.
Numerous examples might be given
to illustrate the power of the imagina-
ton in restoring sick persons to health,
and even in overcoming physical in
firmities. The only mistake made by
the sincere believers in any system OF
mind-cure is in supposing that they or
any one else understands the philos-
ply of the matter. The cures are real,
and they result In some way from the
action of the mind on the body; but the
how and the why are as yet an unfath-
omed mystery. - Youths Companion.
