by the breaking out Of a fire in the
house of the Good Shepherd. corner Of

out In the store room on the first floor OF

and the thick clouds rolled up into the
rooms above in which dozen Sisters

arouse the sleeping inmates quartcrcd
I'm the rear.of the building. Half clad.
the Sisters ran into the dormitorcS
where the 300 girls confined in the
institution were Slumbcring and raised
the alarm. assuring the girls that there
was no immediate danger. The inmates
wrapped themselves up hastily as pos
sible and gathered in the corridors.
When they were all out. the Sisters led
them to The laundry, Il comparatively
safe place from where the girls could
escape the more readily in case the fire
spread throughout the building. After
the girls had been taken care OF, the
Sisters gave the alarm outside the inSti-
tuition and the fire engines were sent for.
Before the apparatus arrived the Sisters
attempted to cXtinguiSh the blaze, but
it gained on them rapidly and was soon
eating its way througc the ceiling to the
floors above. The Sisters were nearly
choked by the smoke when the iircmcn
arrived and quickly put the blaze out.

mage announced as his text, the words,
~ foolish son is the heavinesS of his
mother" Prov, 1911. He said:
An parents want their children to
turn out we'll However poorly father
and mother may have done themselves,
they want their sons and daughters TO
do splcndidly. Up to forty years of age
parents may have ambitions for them
selves. after that their chief ambitions
are for their children. And the best
earthly staff that a gentleman has to
lean ON is a good son. and the strongest
arm mother has to help her down the
steep of years is that of grateful
child. But il is not rare thing to find
people uulilial. and often the parents
are themselves to blame. Aged per
sons sometimes become qucrulOuS and

hands full with the old folks.

Overproduction of Eggs.

It is painful to learn that the last ex-
ample Of pernicious activity in the line
of ruinous overproduction is presented
by the hens of the nation. Undeterred
by the great commercial industries en-
gagged in the selling of picked eggs at
thirty cents per dozen, the American
hens have been misled by the mild win
ter into turning out a supply Of fresh
eggs that has knocked the picked and
artificial egg business into a condition
closely approximating panic. We have
not heard that any complaint OF this
state of affairs is made by the con-
sumars Of eggs, but the proprietors Of
more antique stock are plainly convinced
that the interests of the nation will be
sadly injured If the public gets too cheap
and too fresh eggs. A movement to put
the hens into trust which will restrict
the industrious fowls to production Of
two eggs per week is the obvious remedy
according to the economic policy Of the
day.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

as If near the trunk; at forty-five feet
larger still. The first thirty-Rve feet was

feet through blue clay, exceedingly
hard. The impression prevails that a
swamp will be struck at a lower depth.
