FLAMES IN THE NAVAL HOSPITAL.
PATIENTS BEHAVE WELL AND THE FIRE is
QUICKLY ExTINGUIsHED.


The Naval Hospital in Flushing-ave. caught fire
yesterday at about a.. IN. from wooden reuse
chute running from the roof to the basement on tho
east end Of The main building. Active work ana
the perfect discipline OF the inmates aveed disastrous
consequences. Orderly Clancy, who was on euard
at the time, noticed the fire at the bottom OF inc
chute in heap OF rubbish swept from the floors
above lie at once gave the alarm to Dr. Z. u
Herndon the executive surgeon, who summoned VIC
house fire brigade and also sounded general alarm.
The chute was open at both top and bottom, ana
the draught carried The flames TO the top OF the
house and they caught in the roof. but the BRICK
wall kept them from the interior Of the building
The patients who were unable to help themselves
were carried TO a place Of safety. The house fire
brigade and the Brooklyn Fire Department went 10
work. and lin about hour and half every
vestige of the fire was ext&nguished' The chute
destroyed, the roof damaged and some OF Tho
ceilings soaked. The damage is about $1,000.
There were 1o5 patients In the house al the time
of the fire. and they behaved admirably. IL Is
supposed that the fire was kinded by match or
cigar being thrown into the rubbish. The men are
forbidden TO smoke In the building metal chute
will probably be SUBSTITUTED Before noon the patients
were back in the hospital and all was quiet.

To Preserve Fabrics.

German ingenuity is stated to have re-
sorted to a method-revived from the
most ancient past-of rendering fabrics
proof against the ravages of decay for
an indefinite period, process by which
it is said, no matter how delicate the
texture or color cf the fabric may be, its
long life is assured. 1t appears that the
inventor in this case, a German chemist,
based his experiments on the commonly
known fact that the wonderful preserva-
ton characterizing the headbands of
Egyptian mummies is attributed to their
having been impregnated with kind of
resin. Acting upon this assumption, ex-
periments were made with the substance
extracted from birch bark, with the re-
suit that the green tar left after the oil
used in tanning has been extracted from
the white bark of the birch tree yields a
substance neither acid nor alkaloid; and
this, in solution with alcohol, forms a
liquid with a power of resisting, after
once becoming dry, even the action of
alcohol itself, and is alleged to possess
the property-so long desideratum-of
rendering textile fabrics apparently i'm
perishable, as far as decay is concerned,
peculiarly valuable property being also
claimed for it, namely, a ready union
with the most delicate as well as brilliant
colors.-New York Sun.

Washing Away the Earth.

A French geologist has made careful
calculation of the amount of solid mat
ter yearly carried off into the ocean by
the action of the rivers of the world and
other causes. He estimates that the re-
duction of the average height of the sur
face of the solid land is 0.006 inches each
year. Making allowance for the CORE
spending rise in the bed of the ocean, and
taking no account of the occurrence of
volcanic and other exceptional phenome-
na-the general tendency of which is to
hasten the process of disintegration-th
period at which the solid land will have
ceased to exist and the surface of the
earth will be covered with water has
been estimated. As, however, that
period is 4,50O, 600 years di, tant, the pre-
diction need cause no immediate dis
duietude. Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Pretty Garden Ornament

A very pretty piece of ornamental gar
den,ng, not too difficult for beginners,
can be done with an old umbrella or
parasol and some plants of cypress vines,
maurandia, sweet pea or anything that
is not of too aspiring nature. Such
climbers as the morning glory, canary
bird vine and other twenty footers, are
better left for unsightly fences and build
lngs. Plants are better than seed, be-
cause more certain, and they do not take
so long to catch the knack of twining
and spreading Umbrella ribs are not
decorative, and 60 see such an object
standing there week after week, waiting
for its clothes, does not give people a
pleasant impression of garden.
But first find your umbrella; and this
may not be so easy, for retired" UNI
brellas that are no longer fit for use are
seldom seen. Some member of the fam
ily, however, may be able to produce
one, and then it should be Immediately
stripped of the few tatters left to it.
The next step is to paint the frame and
handle brown, and when quite dry plant
the end of the handle firmly in the
ground, with the frame fully opened.
If the handle is rather short it will be
an improvement to add piece of wood
to it.
1t is now ready for the vines, which
should have made some progress in
growing; and when they once begin to
do their best the old umbrella frame
makes such lovely green bower stud
ded with blossoms of red or purple or
white-or all together if the vines are
mixed-that every one exclaims over its
beauty.
A parasol with the same treatment is
equally pretty on a smaller scale, and it
would be very ornamental in the center
of round bed edged with bright colored
phlox or candytuft. With long spout
ed watering pot the vines could have
daily drenching in warm weather, when
the sun is not shining on them, from
their roots to their highest green tips,
and this would keep them fresh.-Har-
per's Young People.

It's Her WAY. Bless Herr

1t was an up town surface car, and
three women carrying small parcels
boarded it.
After disposing of their bundles and
themselves on the seats, two of them
started desperately at work to open the
pocketbooks that they carried in their
hands. Neither succeeded to any ex-
tent, and the red haired conductor wait
ed and winked at cross eyed passenger
in order to note for future reference how
a cross eyed man winks.
Meanwhile each of the women had
grasped the others arm and exclaimed:
Don't, dear, l have change" The
third woman said nothing, and the con-
ductor paused in front of the trio for his
fare.
"Don't you dare to pay the farer said
one of the women.
'And don't your was the reply.
Then while this friendly argument
was going on, the small woman who had
said nothing quietly handed the right
change to the conductor and the agony
was over.
''Faith, thin wimin do be always the
same" said the conductor as he returned
to his post. And who shall say he was
wrong?-New York Recorder.

A Deaf and Dumb Policeman.

There are many positions that deaf
mute can fill as well as a man in posses
sion of all of his faculties, but patroling
beat as policeman is about the least
likely occupation in which deaf and
dumb man might be expected. Cleve-
land, o., however, has, or had not long
ago, deaf and dumb policeman, who
has walked beat for years and never
given occasion for complaint. It is said
he lost the power of hearing and speech
by q stroke of paralysis, but recovered
his health without regaining all his fac
ulties He was on the force at the time
and begged to be retained.
The authorities were 10th to discharge
him, so gave him trial. He proved as
efficient as the Others, and so held his
position. He wore a badge, ''Deaf and
Dumb Policeman" but answered in
writing any questions that were asked
him as intelligently as any one. AS he
cannot hear a sound, he is obliged to be
more than usually watchful; his eyes are
always on the move, and he sees every
thing that occurs in his vicinity.-Inter-
view in st. Louis Globe-Democrat

am afraid you would be annoyed, and !
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 defenseless. You cannot deny
or explain. Free Press.

No Doubt About American Soldiers

Infantry, of course, constitutes the
main body of all modern armies, and by
the quality of its infantry an army must
be judged. The capacity of Americans
to make excellent soldiers was proved in
the war beyond question. That hun
dreds of thousands of men, most of them
entirely unacquainted with the elements
even of discipline and drill, were trans
formed in so brief a period into officers
and soldiers was certainly one of the
wonders of our time. But the material
was in the main of the best, the desire to
master the new trade well nigh universal
and very strong, and there were from
the beginning many opportunities for
practising what had been learned.
The armies of 1862 were far and away
superior to the levies of 1851. The arm
les of 1868 were decidedly superior to
those of 1862. But in 1868 it is probable
that the highest point of efficiency was
reached in both the Federal and Con-
federate armies in the east, and certainly
in the western army of the Confederacy.

Hints for Travellers.

Nausea, from the motion of the cars,
may be prevented in the following way:
Take a sheet of writing paper large
enough to cover both the chest and
stomach, and put it on under the cloth
ing next to the person. If one sheet is
not large enough paste the edges of two
or three together, for the chest and
stomach must be well covered Wear
the paper thus as long as you are travel
ing, and change it every day if your
journey is long one. Those who have
tried it say that it is a perfect defense.
Those to whom the term sleeper is
hollow mockery may profit by the ex-
perience of statesmen and others who
travel frequently, and have the bed
made up with the pillow toward the To-
connective. Just why this should make
sleep easier is not explained, but the
plan is highly recommended

PeopIe Who Soil Books.

Librarians are not the only ones who
complain of persons who habitually soil
books loaned to them by thumb stains
and marginal penciling. That habit is
the heaviest cross imposed on dealers in
rare and expensive books. 1t is prac-
tice with such dealers to send such books
out for inspection when requested by
those to whom the dealer thinks there is
a chance to make a sale. Valuable books
often suffer from the practice. Samuel
J. Tilden, while good buyer of books,
was also a great offender in this respect
He thought nothing of keeping a book
for weeks, making dealers send to him
for it several times, and finally returning
it thumbed and dog cared, with a mes
sage that he did not want it. On the
whole, booksellers lost nothing through
Mr.. Tilden, for he did not spare money
when book caught his fancy, and his
library contained many treasures, but at
times his whims were costly and vexa-
tious to those who tried to please him
Dealers say that there are many men in
this city now to whom his habits seem
to have been transmitted.-New York

ne Di5n,t Get Anv More shad.

A young man went iodine at the house

there are bones in his shad is by getting
them into his mouth. And so when the
fish came he plunged it into his mouth,
without regard to its bouy structure.
And when a bone revealed its presence
in his mouth he took it out.

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 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

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Every life is book that somebody is
reading.
We never willingly offend where We
sincerely love.
Deeds are efforts the soul makes in
trying to speak.
Anger turns the mind out of doors,
and locks the door.
Thought expands but lanes; action
animates but narrows.
Prudence is not poverty; it is the
thorny road to wealth.
Politeness is the curb that holds our
worser selves in check.
If you want to find great slave, find
a man who has wealth.
1t is foolish to lay out money in the
purchase of repentance.
Society is what people are when they
think they are watched.
Good actions are the invisible hinges
of the doors of heaven.
Pedantry proceeds from much reading
and little understanding.
When flattery is unsuccessful, it is
but the fault of the f1atterer.
Life is beautiful night in which as
some stars go down others rise.
1 do not know a better cure for sor-
row than to pity some one else.
Reproach is usually honest, which is
more than can be said of praise.
The man who will not be honest with
God will not do to trust anywhere.
Remember, not one penny can we
take with us into the unknown land.
If the power to do hard work is not tai
ent, it is the best possible substitute for it.
Charity covers multitude of sins, but
most of them contrive to kick off the
covers.
1t never takes the devil very long to
find something for the man who isn't
busy.
