DR.. Macdonald n p, coroner for
northeast London, On Henry James
BEistow, aged eight years, illustrates
precisely what we mean. Mrs. Bristow,
who Lives at WaathaHstow, had left
this little boy alone in the Foom with a
younger Sister of only three years OF
age in order to 60 on an errand. She
returned before 8 o'caock to find that
the little girl had climbed on a chair to
reach a small parafine lamp, and had
upset 1t eyer her clothes, which of
course caught fire a& once.
The boy immediatefy tore them off
her, and laid her upon the bed, but in
lifting her on the bed his own clothes
caught fire, and it took the child along
time TO tear them off At last he sue
ceeded, but not till he was 30 seriously
hurt that, though taken at once to p
hospital, he. died within q week from
the result Of the injuries. His little sis
tar's life he had succeeded in saving;
at least she was said to be doing well at
the time Of the inquest on her brother.
The coroner very Justly spoke of the
boy as quite little hero, and he was
q hero in precisely the sense in which it
seems to Us that the word, as applied
to a child Of eight, carries profound
pathos with it, because 1t implies q
presence of mind, a promptitude Of pur-
pose, self command and fortitude and
stsadfastnsss which are usually quite
beyond shild's imagination, much less
its practical achievement. - London

Popular Attention Gained by Firm
Through Clever Ruse.
A very clever bit of advertising was
practiced by merchant from Illinois.
II published, said he, ian item con-
corning the anticipated visit of an En-
glish gentleman who had long been a
resident of Siam, and who expected to
bring his wife, a Siamese lady of ex-
allied birth, along with him.
Everybody in the place was inter-
ested. The items appeared from time
to time concerning the customs and
peculiarities of the people, and in the
Sunday edition an account of the oppo-
sition which the Englishman was
obliged to overcome before he finally
came off triumphant. His narrow es-
cape from assassination, secret fight
all was worked out in most interest
ing and careful manner, until there was
not a woman in town who was not
fairly wild to meet the hero and hero

the day after that on which they were
due, and, getting into coach at the
depot, they were driven at once to the

1T did not take long for the report
ers to learn that the yelled lady was
the one whom they wished to interview.
1t was impossible to see her, they soon
found out, but her husband was very
agreeable fellow, it appeared, and he
entertained the newspaper men in great
shape, and gave them lots of matter

inspection of the windows, they en-

crowd of curious folk following. The
lady remained all this time closely
yelled, so that no one could see the re-
markable and peculiar beauty of which
the paper had spoken.
"After leaving my store they went
back to the hotel. This game was
kept up for nearly a week, a few pur-
chases being made in some of my rivals
stores, but was without doubt the IA
vorite. It gave me great boom, and
