TWO SMALL BLAZES.
Fire in Furniture StOre-Narrow Escape
nf Irrn Pain fers.

Fire I'm Furniture tOre-Narrow Escape
Of Two Painters.
AT $50 o'clock last night an alarm was
turned in from Station 159 for a blaze in a
secondhand furniture-store at $50 Folsom
street. owned by J. Epstein. The damage
resulting was not more than 5000.
The building is a one-story frame owned
by the Allen estate. 1t has been occupied
by the Epsteins long enough to accumulate
a great quantity of old furniture Of all de-.
scriptiOOs and stacked to the ceiling in the
front part Ofthe building. The family lives
III a small room in the rear, where the fire
occurred.
Mrs. Epstein was moving about the room
with Lighted kerosene lamp when a board
dropped down from the ceiling, striking the
LAMP and causing an explosion. But for the
prompt arrival of the department a serious
fire would have resulted as the place was
full OF inflammable stuff. Mrs. Epstein was
burned about the hands in trying to extin-
guish the flames
An alarm was turned in also from Sta
ton 50 al ! 80 o'clock in the afternoon for
a fire in three-story building on the corner
of Laguna and Fell streets, owned by
Charles Ginger and occupied by Charles
S0gier as dwelling. The damage TO the
building WAS about $50, and the fire caught
on the roof.
1t is supposed to have originated from the
carrlesSneSs of some plumbers, who were
repairing tank on the roof in the morning.
Two painters, who were at work on a
swinging stage, had q narrow escape from
death. When their attention was called to
the blaze they mounted TO the roof and
found that the ropes supporting the stage
were almost burned off. The flames were
eXtlnEulShed without much trouble.

Desirable for Ladies,

The new Fashion Journals published
by A. Mcdowell & Co., 4 West l4th
Street, New York, are again on our Ia
ble.a The superiority Of these Jour-
mails is abundantly shown on every
page. "La Mode" is the smallest of
the three and is intended for family
use. It has manv styles for children,
and is only $3.50 per year or Is cents
per copy. ella Mode de Paris" is All
elegant journal, filled with everything
of the latest style in Paris. This is a
great favorite with ladies who wish to
keep posted in the new styles as they
come out. "Album .des Modes" is also
a popular Partisan publication, many
ladies giving it the preference. 1t is
replete with such styles as are patron
lied by the middle classes, its designs
being neat and plain, yet all of the
richest character. These three month.
ly journals claim TO give the earliest
fashions, and they are all printed in
Paris. They contain lessons in practi-
cal dressmaking. which are of incom-
parable value and easy to understand.
sLa Mode de Paris" and the "Album
DIES modes" are each $3.50 per annum,
or IS cents for single copy. Samples
can be obtained from the house at sim
gle copy prices if there is any difficult
ty in obtaining them from newsdealers.

In nothing does social usage show such
a brutal paradox as in its treatment of
the dog. It coddles and MIXTURES him
when he is worthless. It kills him ruth
lessly when he is valuable. It supports
high toned kennel clubs for his propaga1
ton, and it makes laws to destroy him
at sight. It licenses the brute and puts
. premium on him and it gives every
ignorant justice the power to order him
shot. It breaches his fidelity and affec1
ton with one breath and calls for his ex1
termination with another. There is more
superstition and ignorance associated
with the dog than with the number thir-
teen.
