PLAYING FOR THE PITCHER.
The Exhibition BY the Portland Fire
Department.

The exhibition and race of the Portland
Fire Department last night was a perfect
success. Everything worked smoothly and
the exceedingly quick time made by all the
apparatus Is another evidence of the prompt
ness and efficiency of our fire department.
There Is always something fascinating about
the manoeuvres of the fire department. The
sight OF the noble horses on the gallop, strain
ing every nerve and muscle of their powerful
bodies, Is grand.
The natural interest which conferred In the
affair was greatly heightened by the elegant
silver pitcher offered by the enterprising
Sunday Telegram to the engine making the
best time.
Immense crowds of people lined Congress
street from Congress square to City Hail.
and there was much enthusiasm.
1t was exactly 6 o'clock, 30 minutes and
seconds when the alarmlwas pulled in from
box at the Preble House by Mrs. Geo. B.
Bagley, wife of the editor of the Telegram.
One had hardly time to look when down in
one direction came Machigonne and up in
the opposite direction Numbered Casco g. In
less time than 1t takes to tell 1t they had
pulled up In the square and the hose was
run out and men at the nozzle were shouting
for water. For a moment the excitement was
intense. and then an excited shout went up
when Casco showed first water. 1t had
hardly struck the ground when out burst
water from rs pipe. The other engines fol.
lowed in quick order. and in less than four
minutes five streams were playing and thir.
teen pieces of apparatus were on the scene.
Then the crowd went crazy and ropes were
no object. The efforts of the police were
fruitless, but the effects Of some cold streams
from the pipes cleared the square in an in.

Jewels of roman womep.


The ladies of Rome early imbibed a love
Tor art and artistic decoration of their per-
sons. While in early times their dress was
severely simple, they kept pace with the
tastes of the men, and many ladies of rank
wed with the cardinals in their patronage
OF the goldsmiths. Cellini numbered sew
eral among his friends, and at various
times keenly felt the consequences of their
displeasure or capricr. OF course the pat
ronage of women was not directly CON
nected with the affairs of the church for
IN its councils women were unknown. The
Popes and priests never married, else art
might have been more widely applied than
it was.
Women often, however, called the gold
smiths talents into their service for the
creation of splendid gifts in the name of
their religion, A few of them furnished
means for the creation of altar furniture
OF the most elaborate and expensive char
acter, which they presented to the sanctu
aries in which they worshiped
But there was another class of Roman
women. There were beauties in Rome as
well as in other countries, and they were
not less fond of personal adornment and
adulation. Like their sisters of today.
they were not averse TO the admiration Of
the opposite sex, and they enhanced their
natural charms by all the arts then known.

Self Respect.

1.-The way to keep a man out of the mud
is to black his boots,'' says Frederick Doug
lass
This happy remark often occurs to us
when we see boys going to school with
shoes that have never once known the
brush, with hair uncombed, faces not too
clean, ears unfit for inspection, hands very
black, and a cap that has evidently known
hard service as missile weapon Such a
boy is more likely at least both to talk and
to act unbecomingly than one who is clean
and tidy. Something within the tidy boy
oompels him to live up to his appearance.
The other boy is apt to live down to his
dirty boots.
Fixing upon n boy an odious and belit-
thing nickname which lowers his self es-
teem has the same tendency So does
r7dicuiing him for any natural defect, and
Tor the clumsiness which often results
From such defect. The mistakes of youth
frequently result from shyness, and this is
greatly aggravated by the jeers of compan-
ions, and still more by the impatience of a
teacher
Many person now honored and es-
teeIned in the world dates his progress up-
ward from the moment when he received
from some honored lips Il word of encour-
agement or discovered by chance that he
was not inferior to his comrades, despite
appearances to the contrary.
We can hardly do more injurious act
than to make another think more meanly
OF himself than he ought to think HUI
nility is an excellent trait, but humility is
n very different thing from the mortifica-
ton and self abasement that sometimes re-
suit from sneers or rridicule.-Youth's Com

The Bane of Friendship.

1t runs somewhat in this fashion: al
have half mind to tell you something l
heard about you the other day. Still, /
am afraid you would be annoyed, and l
believe will not" OF course you say
that you will not be annoyed, and upon
this assurance your friend proceeds to
say: eff you are quite sure you will not
be angry will tell YOU" Then comes
some unpleasant thing rejecting on your
temper, your tastes or, if there is flaw
to be found, your habits. Sometimes it
comes in the definite form of an assertion
that you have been guilty of some atroci-
ty of which you know yourself to be in
nocent. Very naturally, in the lat
ter case, you ask whence came the
charge, only to find that the calumniator
has extracted a promise that the authors
identity shall not be revealed. So you
are left defNseless. You cannot deny
or explain.-Detroit Free Press.

The Original Use of Canes.

Somebody has been looking up the his
tory of the original use of canes in this
country, and finds that they were for
merly part of the repertory of the lead
ers of the church, being at one time the
principal badge of the deacon. The dea-
cons cane was about five feet long, one
end being embellished with a big knob,
the other with feathers. When the small
boy got too noisy or rebelled against the
powers that were he was given rap on
the head with the uncharitable end of
the stick. If the head of the family for
got himself while listening to the morn
ing sermon, and lapsed into blissful
dream of old times in Merry England,
the turkey plumes on the deacon's cane
feathered him into life again.-St. Louis
Republic.
