peared before the public at the famous
Gingerbread Fair" at Liverpool in 1872.
He was 20 years of age at that time, had
perfectly round and nose eight
inches In length, fiat, and shaped exactly
like the bill Of goose. His neck was
three times the length of that of an or
dinary person, surmounted by a round
fat head, without a single hair. He
seemed to have as much common
sense as the average country boy of his
age, learning very fast and soon quit the
show business and studied the photog-
rRpher's art. His name is Jean Ron

THE SPIRIT ROSEBUD.

Baby Is dead speak low, step light;
How tranquel Is her rest
Her tiny hands were placed last night
Upon her waxen breast
And when the morn broke calm and bright
Aud deep was our despair,
We gazed upon her face 30 white.
Aud saw sweet smile there
The mourning mother sobbed aloud
As she her darling scanned
Aud while each head in sorrow bowed
she ixed within its hand
A TINY rosebud, fresh and sweet
Which round It's perfume shed
This, this, she moaned, "is emblem meet
For my DEAR precious dead.
Next day, Whila Borrowing neighbors stood
Holding sweet flowers Of spriug
Tho tiny rosebud. red as blood,
Showed signs Of opening
And ere the funeral rites were through
Each mourner In the room
Thrilled with astouishment TO view
The bud burst in full bloom.
The clergyman, with trembling voice
And deep emotion. said
Rejoice. my sorrowlng friends, rejoicel
The baby is not dead
God, 10 his loving tenderness,
This token sweet has given,
That she who budded In distress
Il blooming now in heaven"

ACCIDENTAL ElRes.


They Could Be Reduced to a SIinlmum "
Ordinary Care Was Exercised.
In calling attention to fires and point
ing out some OF the causes Of these acct
dents, for most Of them are accidental,
one cannot help wondering at the care
lessness exhibited in the every day life
of large portion Of our population.
In former days our worthy and useful
friend, the chimney sweep made his
regular rounds. and little was heard of
defective hues and chimneys, as is 80
often the case at present. II household
ers would have their chimneys seen to
as promptly and carefully as their au-
cestors had theirs, vast benefits would
ensue. This is OF great Importance
Equally so is the proper attention TO
building fires In open CRATES. All such
fireplaces, or rather the tiooriug around
and in front of same, should be protect
ed by iron or other metal covering The
danger of live Goals falling from a CRATE
fire is one that should be recognized and
understood.
! need not refer TO the use Of kerosene
in hndling fires. as the papers teem with
accidents from that source Another
fruitful origin is the habit Of having
matches lying around loose where chill
dren can get at and play with them and
allowing loose papers or kindlings near
open fires.
Leaving young children alone in the
house during the day is also productive
of danger. This is often done by the
poorer classes, the rooms sometimes be-
ing locked during the mothers absence.
Very many families use either kerosene
or gasoline for cooking purposes. These
should both be handled by daylight only
and in the case of gasoline extreme care
is necessary, as the vspor of the latter is
highly inHammsble, being very vola-
tile fluid
How often we hear OF friends using
gasoline of an evening for cleaning ties,
gloves and other articles, not knowing,
or, if so, not thinking, OF the danger in
volved. John f. Valentine.
